ball teams in colleges!
Think of the old maid aunts who
have given their youth to rearing
other peoples children, and who In
their, old age are regarded as burdens
by the very nephews and nieces for
whom they have sacrificed their
lives! Think of the old maid daugh.
ters who have been slaves to tyran-
nical mothers, who have foregone
matrimony or the careers they m1gnt
have had, to stay at home and coddie
cranky old woman's whimr, and
whom mother always speaks OF as
poor Mary or poor Jane" and says
that she never was brilliant like her
other children!
The truth is that we wrap so much
of the pink chiffon of sentimentality
around sacrifice, that we have lost
sight of justice and common sense
/ in the Latter. Yet when all is SAID.
! why should one person be sacrhceo
| to another? Why isn't one individual
| as entitled to happiness as another!
Why isn't one life worth as much as
| another?
In the main, sacrifices are not only
! useless, but wrong. Struggle and
hardship develop character ana ana

So the mother who works herself

men who achieve things in the world
have not been the ones who had

without being brutalized by it. You
will never find "a man whose wife
supports him who does not abuse her.
Nor a son who permits his mother
| to make q door mat of herself for
him who does not trample all over
hold a family grateful to the woman
who is the sacfificial goat.
! Also a sacrifice is generally. p
boomerang that annihilates the
| source from which 1t sprang. A fam
lily will tie a brilliant and talented
| girl to the cook stove, and make her
| sacrifice her career because they
think she should help mother, when,

make enough money to hire a regi-
ment of cooks. Or they will per.
suade a soft-headed girl, with an in

| to children, or cater to selfish and
self-cen tered old mother or father,
and then bemoan the fact that trey
have to have her tag on to their

SO I say to women that sacrifice

1919? What could he do but hang
his head and run away? 1t was hardly a
year ago, in a memorable address to the

There are certain issues that rise
above party, that transcend all parties

.UThe Good Old DAVIS"

mike Casey" The Tri-Weekly Journal
reader, whose highly original and interest
ing letter is printed elsewhere on this page
today, shows world of imagination in
thinking up contrasts between the old days
and now. If he has skipped one change OF
consequence we can't call it to mind
Yet although the bulk of his humorous
narallels seem to be drawn considerably at
the expense of modern times, we'll wager
that he wastes no time moaning over the
passing of "the good old days"
We have notion that he gets as much
out of life today as anybody in Georgia
Probably more.

A YOUNG woman was engaged
n to be married to splendid
"A young fellow who went to the
war and did mans part in
it. He is back now and is pressing
her to marry him, which she wants
to do because they love each other
dearly and long to make real the
home of their dreams. But the wom-
ans sister has recently died, leav-
ing four children, and the girls
family tell her that it is her duty
to give up her own happiness and
devote her life to rearing these
motherless little ones.
A woman, well in the thirties, has
toiled like a slave ever since she
was fifteen years old, to, support q
mother, and sisters and brothers
and to give the youpnger children
the education and advantages she
never had. Although she earns fine
salary, she has never been able to
save a cent for her old age, or even
to indulge herself in any luxuries
as she went along, because 1t took
all she could make to give the 9TH
ers the things they thought they
were bound to have. The sisters and
brothers are now all grown and al
work, or married. but they refuse to
aid in supporting their mother, and
still come home for the Cinderella
sister to support them when they
are out of job. or want to take
a vacation without paying board
A woman who is a Heaven born
genius as a dressmaker, and who
could make her thousands every yea

where she works for a pittance, be-

heroines of these domestic tragedies

say so. I believe that nine times
out of ten a sacrifice Is not only
made in vain, but that it harms in
stead of helps those whom 1t was
destined to aid.
Especially does the domestic sac.
rifice breed selfishneSs and parasi-
tism, and turn it's recipients into
human ghouls who have neither
compassion nor mercy upon the

Think of the families you know
in which there Is some one poor

for the balance, and who Is un'

enough to demand her rights!
Think of the poor shabby Older

Our Need of White Coal

r. NERGIZING effects from the Water
Power bill enacted at the last session
- of Congress soon should begin to grow
manifest. Already there has been instituted,
under Government auspices, survey or the
latent power resources of the Atlantic Sea-
hoard between Boston and Washington. In
that region, according to the Society for
Electrical Development, plan is being con-
sidered, whereby, through the co-ordlnatlon
of hydro-electric enterprises with steam gen
Grafton of electricity in the mine fields ana
at convenient points elsewhere, an estt-
mated saving of three hundred million dol
lars annually is to be effected" This is
but one among numerous possibilities of the
kind that now invite exploration and prom
Use the means to vast economies. it is con-
servatively reckoned that if these were
turned to proper account our industry and
commerce world would save upwards of a
billion dollars year.
Still more important would be the i'm
petus to production, which cheap and album
dant power would bring. Imagine the indus
trial ouickening that Georgia would feel
from the mountains to the sea, II the power
now flowing to waste in her rivers ana
streams were made available. The Chatta-
hoochee alone is capable of power enough
to provide manufacturing employment for
more than a million people; and from sin
gle power-site in Heard county, engineers
declare, could be derived ample energy to
produce all the nitrate needed for the fer
tiliZer supplies OF Georgia and Alabama COM
bined OF all regions Of America, none has
keener incentive to develop it's water-power
resources than has the South, to whom be-
longs the unrivaled control of cotton manu-
featuring as well cotton growing if she
will but make the most of her opportunities
in the hydro-electric realm.
The whole trend of economic affairs, both
at home and abroad, warns America to
hasten the development of this now sparse
ly used national treasure. The last few
wears have shown how precariously uncer-
tain can be the supply and how oppres-
sively burdensome the prices of coal. The
surest answer to that problem lies in water
power which needs no miners for its pro-
duction, no railways for its transmission,
and which is renewed at its fluent source
as continually as it is consumed Europe
has seen how great is the gain in produc-
tixe efficiency and profits where white
coal" is used, and is acting accordingly,
Americas ability to compete in the worlds
markets depends largely upon applying her
own water-power resources to the business
of manufacturing and transporting goods

DRINKING AT MEALS
NOW RECOMMENDED

Contrary to a 1ong-standing the
Dry, water taken with meals is now
recommended. For years it has
been taught such a procedure weak
ems the secretions of gastric juice,
also that digestion would be delayed
or inhibited. But now 1t has been
proved that drinking water with
meals stimulates the secretion of
gastric juice, that it produces an i'm
proved liver function and that it en-
ables the food to be utilized more
economically; further, the saliva
acts more efficiently when diluted
with water. Thus we are encourag-
ed to drink plenty of pure water
while eating.-Thrift Magazine.

Po7ands Significant Victory

tude for the happy issue to which her
prowess has brought the war with
Russian Bolshevism. Unless present omens
are all misleading the Red army which rev
months ago was threatening Warsaw itself
has been beaten so decisiVely that it will not
again menace Western Europe Only broken
and dispirited fighter would have sought
peace on such terms as Trotzky has proposed.
He has relinquished the territorial ambitions
upon which he and his regime evidently were
bent when they felt confident of victory and
has made large concessions besides; has
withdrawn all provisions against which the
Poles protested, and has offered to restore
divers works of art and historic trophies
which the cars in times gone took from Po-
lands treasures; has offered guarantees, II
a Bolshevist pledge can be regarded seriously,
Of henceforth respecting that eountrys SOW
ereignty and rights, and has granted virtual
ly all that victor could ask, save financial
indemnities.
Some observers think that the chief motive
in the peaceable and humble attitude is des-
perate wish to muster all available forces
against General WrangeIs advance in the
south Undoubtedly the Bolshevlst dlcta-
tors are disturbed over recent Developments
id that quarter, and with good reason. Wran-
gels successes have been repeated and sub
stantial-not so much, it would seem, be-
cause of military or constructive genius on
his part as deepening popular discomfort
with Bolshevist misrule This, of course, has
had it's influence on the situation in the west.
1t should be remembered, however, that the
Poles have been fighting steadily with high
valor and skill They have outwitted and
outdone the Red horde, have proved their
worth and mettle as nation, and have dealt
a staggering blow to the Bolshevist peril.
1t would not be astonishing, indeed, should
TrotZky's forces disntegrate before another
spring campaign gets under way. Rumblings
and flashes of mutiny amongst the Soviet
troops in the Polish front were Derceyed
some days before the armistice Rash though
it would be to venture predictions on so
vast and dark a confusion as present-day
Russia appears, in the glimmer of recent
events it seems reasonable to expect a COL
lapse of the Bolshevst regime, which lacks
now, as it has from the beginning, the sus-
tainment and the hope of moral will.
