AN UNWISE and
IMPROBABLE ACT

The master in one of his wonder
full parallels told Of a man to whom
his lord had given a single talent
which he wrapped in a napkin and
buried till called to a reckoning when
he digged it up ard brought to his
lord, who rebuked him, saying that
the least he could have done was to
have put it out at ursury that it might
have produced interest for it's hire.
The Lagrange Reporter in a recent
issue tells of more foolish farmer,
a Mr.. Jones, who formerly lived in
Harris county and who kept stored
on his premises since 1870 now near
ly hall century, bale of cotton.
We do not just now recall what cot
ton sold for that year, nor do we
know what the bale of cotton weigh
ed, but assuming that it weighed 500
pounds and would have sold for s
cents per pound, had Mr.. Jones sold
it he woud have gotten $4,000 for it.
Had Mr.. Jones sold the bale of cot
ton for the $4,000 he could easily
have gotten 25 per cent interest for
the money during the early seventies
was easily and legally loaned for as
much as 25 per cent and compound
ed annually; or had he only charged
the ordinary rate of per cent and
collected and re-loaned it annually
that is compounded it today the es-
tate would have several hundred dol
lars instead of ragged bale of old
cotton.
Assuming that Mr.. Jones and his
heirs have dealt honestly and paid
taxes on this bale of cotton, they
have already paid out during the 40
years, interest and principal more
than the cotton is worth.
If the servant in the parable was a
fool how much more foolish had Mr..

WAR HONORS and
MEDALS AWARDED

In the distribution of Distinguish
ed Service Crosses Georgia ranked
very we'll with the average of other
states, Georgians being awarded six
ty-four of these, but no Georgia SOL
der was given a Medal of Honor
decoration.
Of the former 1920 were given in
all, while only rs of the latter were
awarded. Marietta had one Dis
tinguished Service Cross man, George
Goumas, and the other sixty-three
were scattered around in every part
Of the state.
Of the southern boys, those from
South Carolina and Tennessee were
most heavily engaged in action, the
boys from each state winning six of
the Medals of Honor, and only New
York and Illinois, having many times
as many men at the front, exceeded
this number.
However there can be no place for
any partisan figures in this matter,
Americans, from no matter what
state, did their duty whenever the OPP
portunity presented itself.
These figures do not include the
awards made by the French or 9TH
err governments to Americans of
which there were great many.

Jones acted!

Jones acted!
There are farmers and others, all
over the country repeating this folly
when they sell their crops and take
the proceeds home and hide them in
an old stocking or some other unsafe
place. There are II banks in the
county, that can and should handle
this money, keeping it safely and
securely for the depositor when he
needs it. Most of them will pay 4
per cent interest on saving deposits,
thus adding to the principal, while
the money goes out into circulation
to help build up the country by help
ing men who need money and are
willing to pay for it's use.
There is nothing to commend the
folly of Mr.. Jones.-Carroll County
Times.

EXPERT FINDS OIL
in LOCAL APPLES

The Hood River Valley lies over a
! pool Of oil. At least such is the dee.
/ laration of an oil expert who recently
ate a Spizenburg grown on the East
Side ranch Of l.. f.. Ireland and claims
to have detected traces of the oil in the
fruit.
Mr.. Ireland is shipper as well as
apple grower. He sells fruit exten-
sively in southern California and his
family spend the winters i'm Pasadena.
A letter from Mrs. ireland followed
him closely on his return here from
theEsouth. The next day after his de-
parture, according to the letter, Pas
adena newspaper reporter called at the
Ireland home in excitement. On learn
ing that Mr.. Ireland had left the re-
porter told his story to Mrs. Ireland
and asked her to communicate with the
grower at once.
1t appears that the reporter pre-
sented apples purchased from a Pasa-
dena fruit stand to an oil expert. No
sooner had he expert begun to pare
the fruit than he was attracted by GER
tain conditions of the peel and pulp.
He inquired where the fruit had been
grown. and the reporter returning to
the news stand found the name Of Mr..
Ireland on the box. He bought the
box, and the. expert, after giving the
fruit certain scientific tests. declared
that the apples had certainly been
grown on oil producing land.
Mr.. Ireland, however, has faint hopes
for local delivery from the Pacific |
coast gasoline shortage. He wonders |
if traces of an oil spray, applied in the
early spring by growers for control of
leaf roller. may have aroused the inter
est of the oil expert.

CHERRY YIELD is
STILL LOOKING UP

With the harvest of Royal Annes,
which are being shipped to Gamers,
past the peak. and pickers working on
black varieties of fruit, indications are
that the Hood River cherry crop will
be about IS or 80 per cent of last year,
when 10 cars of Bings, Lamberts and
Black Republicans were shipped east
under refrigeration. The black cher
ries will be marketed similarly this
season. The yield and quality of the
fruit are better than had been expect
ed 10 days ago. The cherry crop here,
however, is later than ever before, the
fruit having ripened very slowly. In
normal seasons cherries are usually all
picked by this time.

Joe had his first fling in big time
circles in 1908 with Connie Mack's Ath-
letics; but. coming from a small town
that was hid away somewhere in the
Carolinas, Joe couldn't get accustomed
to big city. After eight days he left
for home and southern cooking. In
1909 Connie Mack reinstated him, but
going through the training season in
the South with the club he jumped the
team again. This time the day of the
opening game in Philadelphia. But in
1910 he came to stay, this time with
Cleveland. His hitting since has been
almost superhuman, and it is said that
he hits a ball harder than any man
playing ball, not excepting Babe Ruth.
