Dollars and Cents

Counting it only in dollars and cents. how much did that last cold cost you? A man may not always stop work when he has cold, but perhaps it would be better if he did. It takes about ten days to get completely rid of a cold under the usuaItreatment.
 That time can be much shortened by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and proper care of your self, in fact. a bottle of this remedy in the house is a mighty good investment during the win ter and spring months. adv

THE CATTLE GAME---By Frank Willis Barnett

I have been greatly interested in the
 cattle game for the past five years, and
 have been studying it from all angles,
 however, without getting actively
 into it.
 It is strange that the interest came
 late in life, and stranger still as never .srew up on farm. hear some of you
 fellows who have moved in from the
 country saying that is the reason I got
 my taste, for after reaching middle age
 had had to tend the stock In my boy
 hood days I might have been cured of
 the love
 used to visit my uncle, Willis Butts,
 on his farm out from Hurtsboro. and
 with my cousin Willis used to go to the pasture to get the cows and to this day I can hear his melodious call to them
 and see them coming out of the creek bottoms headed toward the barn to get
 their evening meal and be milked and
 put up for the night.
 For the man who loves stock there is no sweeter music than to go into the big barn and stand listening to the sleek horses nosin.g the hay in their managers. to the deep breathing of satis- fled cattle on their clean straw beds. to the low bleating of the sheep in their the fat hogs or the delighted squeal of the pigs--every beast of them we'll fed. comfortable and friendly because well treated and tended to.
 The farmer or farm lad who does not love the animals on the place will never . put any heart into his work; but those
 who do will always find something to interest them. The genuine man of the soil is the one who likes to tend stock and to have the smell of plowed ground in his nostrils or the odor of new
 mown hay. The farmer who succeeds | is the one who is profoundly interested as growing crops. Happy Is the man 1 who knows the ways of the living things around him.
 l grant you that the chores around l a farm are not easy. and that the hours are hard but if had my life to so over again I had rather have to get up be-

RUFF is dead.

N RUFF is dead.
 IM E. c. Bruffey was reporter on
 the Atlanta Constitution 42 years ago; and he was reporter on that newspaper until last week, when he passed into another world.
 When this writer was a cub news paperman many years ago, ''Bruff' was the prize reporter of the Atlanta Con stitution. He was a pet of Henry Grady, Evan Howell and W. A. Hemp hill. He was the close friend of Joel Chandler Harris and was the foil for him in many of his office jokes.
 Bruffey would go anywhere and do anything that Henry Grady suggested. He was chunky built little fellow, not more than feet and inches tall with a black piratical mustache, as big as his heart.
 Bruff was that kind of a reporter. always looking for sensations, but a1- ways helping out those in trouble. He would, however, fight anybody or any thing looking for trouble.
 Once he served day or two in Jail because he refused to tell from whom he got an advance grand jury report. Everybody had confidence in him and knew that he would not diyulge the source of his information
 The most interesting experience I ever had with Bruffey was when the Pat Calhoun-W Williamson duel was fought some thirty years ago. This was the last real duel under the code duello fought in the south.
 Pat Calhoun was the general at torney of the Richmond and Danville railway--now the Southern railway in the south. There was the usual rail- road legislation pending before the Georgia legislature, and Pat Calhoun represented the big system.
 Williamson was the president of the Chattanooga, Rome-Decatur railway. To make a long story short, the lie was passed in a hearing be- fore a legislative committee. And that

Each Private Interest
 Must Face the Music

TIT was to have been expected that l the treasury department would not favor postponement of the pay ment of income and excess profits. taxes due December IS.
 The department wisely declares that s'it sees no reason why tax payers who made profits in, 1919 and became liable to pay taxes on the basis of these profits should be permitted to throw upon the government the burden of losses incurred in the conduct of their own business in 1920."
 That is sound to the core. The taxes due this year are on business done last year. The well-regulated busi- ness man figured the taxes due on last years business and set aside the amount necessary to meet that obli- gation. He who banked on a con-. tinuation of super-prosperity is not entitled to consideration.
 To extend time for payment of these taxes would be financing pri- -vate interests. If the government goes into that the farmers have an equal right to ask that government funds be made available for them to hold their products for higher mar kets.
 Down in it's heart the nation is weary of every other form of fede- ral substitute for private initiative. "A stern refusal on the part of the 7overnment to bolster private inter 
 ,ts out of the common funds will meet with hearty approval.

LUXE McLUKE SAYS

No matter how ornery a man may be- he gets a lot of comfort out of the belief that there are worse people in the world than he is.
 What her husband will think doesn't concern woman three hoorays in Hali- tax. It is what the neighbors will think that, worries her.
 Some girls are so afraid you won't think they are modest that they keep a permanent blush painted on their cheeks.
 Men excel at some things. But when a woman strats out to get fat, she can make fat man look like a skeleton.
 Men get the idea that women lack a sense of humor just because the women want to be humored all the time. wouldn't it be great if we had. a col iege of elocution that could teach you when to speak and how? We don't care if she does mix up in politics So long as a woman Is woman fly enough to enjoy good cry, feminism is in ITO danger.
 Another thing we cant understand is how the lower the pressure gets the higher the gas bill, gets. A modern girl can't see why she should put in four years learning to play piano with her hands when she can learn to play. it with, ner feet in four seconds.
