n KICHIGAN grasshoppers have taken it
IV into their doughty heads to rival the
frogs of ancient Egypt or even the
boil weevils of modern Georgia. Swarms of
the stout-hipped insects whose sound was
a burden to the author of Eccelsiastes, be-
sieged flying freight train in the Wolverine
State with such vehemence as to stop the
wheels on their tracks and compel the crew
to get out and fight for the right of way.
So at least writes veracious correspondent
from Lansing, who Interestingly adds that
the grasshoppers "have reached the travel
ing SIZE"
We live in marvellous time an age whose
daily incidents put the skeptic to shame and
bid us be not surprised at whatsoever won
ders come to pass. Travellers ne'er did lie,"
said Shakespeare, though fools at home
condemn them" Carping spirits have ques-
toned the verify of certain reports touch
how. for example, weevil of the stronger
breed would swoop in upon a cook stove and
having overpowered the good wife of the
farmhouse, would fly off with her cracking
skillet Of eggs and bacon; or how company
of these remarkable parasites, which have
cost the cotton belt so many millions Of
dollars, would seize a mich cow, bear her
believing to some lonely marsh, devour her,
hide and hoofs, and then impishly tinkle her
bell for the calf to come.
Such history. we say, has been doubted by
unexpansive minds, even in this wondrous
Twentieth century; and some not to the
Georgia manner born have been SO unknd
as to charge deliberate falsehood to our
rural press for reporting news of this ma
ture. But now that Michigan, coldly I'M
imaginative Commonwealth, has produced
her train-stopping grasshoppers, let the crit
les of these faithful Georgia scribes give
truth it's due.

WITH THE GEOR-
GA PRESS

Ralph Meeks. editor and publisher
of the Calhoun Times, is also presi-
dent of the Covington News Publish
ing company, in which enterprise he
is actively and influentially inter
ested.
The LAGRANGE Reporter, whose
able and popular editor has long
been considered an expert Judge of
such drinks as coffee. under the cap
ISM" makes the following reference
to the editor and publishers of the
West Point News, for many years
owned by w. Trox Bankston:
"West Point now has one of the
most creditable weekly newspapers
in the state. Both the publishers and
the peaple Of West Point are to be
congratulated But that Is not all
one may say about the enterprise of
Editors Coffee. They are growing in
Journalism. Their last venture is
the purchase of The Bessemer Week
", a newspaper of Bessemer, Ala.
In their announcement Of the pur-
chase, Messrs. Ewell and Guy Coffee
state that they will develop a large
printing establishment for Bessemer,
and, knowing them as we do, we
carry out that purpose in manner
which will gain for them the hearty
appreciation of the Alabama town.
Atlanta is some big city-over
100000 population, and still growing
daily.-Madison Madisonian.
Generous comment by friendly
neighbors will make Atlanta grow
still faster.
The farmer has worked fifty years
to improve conditions by political ac-
ton, and he is pretty nearly where he
started. But by cooperation he can
make startling changes in a year or
two at most.-Adairsvi1le Progress.
Which proves conclusively that CO.
operation on the farm is more bene-
fetal than politics at the country
store.
Bland w Adkins, who recently re-
vived the Weekly Bostonian, Is maxi
ing a splendid success of the paper,
He deserves and should receive the
liberal support of all the progressive
people of Boston and surrounding
trade territory.
Somehow or other our garden
doesn't grow to suit u.s." says. Editor
Duke, Of the Griffin News and Sun.
Possibly you do not work to suit
your garden.-Columbu Enquirer
Sun.
It takes work to make gardens
grow, Duke: grab hoe and go to 1t.
Some of our lex-presidents would
doubtless object to being elected to
a similar position in Mexico.-Thom-
asvil1e Times-Enterprise.
Still, any well informed man would
rather be an ex-president in Mexico
than to be president.

LII of us, recognize, in theory
N at least, the wisdom of making
n the best of bad bargain. I'm
fortunately. however, not many
people are philosophical enough to
apply this comm on-sense remedy to
their problems when they find them
selves In an unpleasant situation.
Yet there is no other magic more
potent to turn defeat into victory,
and change the cup of wormwood and
gall into one flowing with milk and
honey. For when we cease to rebel
at our lot, and set about extracting
all the joy possible out Of it, we
have conquered fate.
Old Man Trouble packs up his
wares in his little kit-bag and fees
from the face of the individual who
can like what he has got if he can't
get what he likes.
1t may be conceded that not many
Of US get a particularly alluring bar
gain in life. Heredity, environment,
chance wish on US many things we
would not have chosen for ourselves
if we could have dickered with des-
the vital matter to us is that the
trade. such as it is, is made, sign

We are bound by 1t, and 1t rests
with us whether we go bankrupt
over it by grouching over it's unfair
ness anu our general ldck VI 1uCh' VI
whether we make the best of 1t, ano
wiring happiness and success out OF
it.
The gentle act of making the best
of a bad bargain Is one that women
in particular, should devote them
selves to acquiring. 1t is not q
spontaneous talent with the fair sex
In the contrary wornan's natural benz
is to cherish her sorrows, and cod
die her grievances, and to generally
extract every drop of misery that Is
possible out Of every situation.
That is what gives us so many

make. up ones mind to make the
best of marriage, early as late.
Probably there Is not one divorce
prevented by this simple axpedient.
If only a woman would dwell on
her husbands virtues as incessant-
ly as she does on his faults! II
only she would think how comfor-
say to herself that if her husband
wasn't all her girlish fancy painted
him, at least she didn't have to go
out and earn her own living, she
would realize that her bargain
might dry her eyes and try to be
as good a sport as he is, for per-
haps, he, too, reflects - times that
Cupid is a gold brick artist who
unloads some pretty raw deals on
man, as well as women.
Another place where women might

So does science gather treasures from the

cotton seeds, now staple contribution to
the worlds food supply and a yielder of
yearly fortunes to the South, were dumped
out as troublesome rubbish. use there is

~ OMEHOW, it's awfully hard for
49, a man to watch his wife curl

back--and, at the same time, to
to think of her IS "cit1zen."
It isn't so much love Of the woman
as love of fight that inspires a man
to battle ,d for the the heart OF gigI who
marry one who does, and be happy?
Love doesn't fly out of the window
but when MONEY comes in at the
door-especially If it's the wife's
money.
No man ever doubted that he could
tame "man-tamer," once he mar
ried her-and no woman ever doubted
that she could break heart
breaker" once she landed him.
Somehow the only comfort a wom-
an gets out of married life is the
consoling thought that she isn't a
spinster.
A man is never happy in a love-
affair-because the moment he thinks
he has a woman lust where he
he wants her there.
A woman will forgive man more
readily for being seen at prize
fight with another man. then for be-
ing seen at prayer-meeting with
another woman. Well I should SAY
SO!
Nowadays, a hero is man who
dares to admit that he is not having
a gay and delightful time while his
wife is away in the country.

be the guiding star" of a mans life,
but never deceive yourself by fancy
ing that you are the whole solar
