WHY is it that we do despise the
" things that lie before our eyes,
while everything that is removed we
value ere it's values proved? Every
thing unknown is grand, and all that
comes from foreign land; but that
which hedges us around, we view as
rubbish on the ground Some set
no worth upon the nigh" but what
is "far" they value high. This
weakness of our human race applies
alike in time and space. Some travel
far away from town to see the Won
ders of renown, while not one time
has it pleased their eye to view the
beauties of Georgia sky. They talk
about the Mammoth Cave and of
Niagara they rave and never, never,
have they shown themselves upon our
Mount of SsSsssfe. Should they wan
der to the Nile, famous now for
quite while, they'd fly to raptures
in a jiffy, forgetting our own Missis-
sippi If in Switzerland they view a
lofty snow-capped peak or two, they
say at once they are more grand
than the Rockies of our native land.
If you say something of a plain,
stretching from the mountains to
the Main, they think Siberia's ice

IRISH on the wall does not impress

children ancient history and how
Rosetta solved the mystery; but the
youths can't tell to save their souls
what'll be their duties at the polls.
They spend their time on Cicero, and
all his eloquence they know; while
scarce line is in their head that B.
H. Hill has ever said. If Homer says
"Twce two are four" to them it
means a bushel more than if some
citizen of our state should say,
Twice four are eight" If from the
Orient comes a trunk filled full of
bric-a-brac and junk; they look wise
and heave a sigh, despising relics
nearer by. We get canned peaches
from the West, thinking that they
are the best: Why aren't the prod

paper is read all over, the Philadel-
phia Record very truly says:
We always thought this should
have some significance to the small
business man who doesn't advertise
because he can't afford large space,
and is afraid small advertisement
would not attract attention. Every
thing attracts attention in the news
paper.
To cite an extreme example, if the
Record should print single line in
the smallest-sized type tomorrow
morning reflecting on the stability
of the soundest bank in the city there
would be a line of people at the pay
ing teller's window at 10 o'clock in
the morning waiting3 to withdraw
their money.
Another instance of the minute
ness with which the columns of a
good newspaper are scanned lies be-
fore US in the shape Of letter of
complaint. 1t appears that the of
fetal report of the weather in city
1000 miles distant was omitted from
the customary tabulation.
Who can imagine an item of infor-
nation less likely to. be missed? And
yet it was missed, and an aggrieved
reader, who declares that he is only
one of many people interested in the
subject, makes emphatic protest.

SYRUP FROM SWEET POTATOES
Savannah Press.)

tSdVdnndn IIHSS.
There has been for the past year
or two talk of sweet potato syrup
as another item in the prospects of
greater "infinite variety for South
Georgia in agricultural resources.
The talk precipitated some expert
mentation and last year at one or
two points were exhibited sample
barrels of a syrup made from sweet
potatoes that compared most favor
ably with the finest cane syrup.
Tesets were made in distinguishing
and the yam product could not be
told from other varieties of syrup
by a number of experts. South
Georgia towns are this week inter.
ested in the location of the expert
ment station which the government
Department of Agriculture proposes
to establish in order to prove the
practical, perceiVable, commercial
Importance Of yam syrup. Fitzger-
aid and Americas are among the
towns visited by the department Of
ficials looking for location of the
station. The recently reported agri-
cultural appropriation bill in con-
gress carried above $4,000 for its
installation. By all means the sta
ton should be established South
Georgia is the proper place for it.
If there is-as the initial tests have
indicated pretty fairly-commercial
value in the yam potato as a source
of commercial syrup the fact should
be demonstrated perfectly and de
veloped to the highest and best point.
There will be added a most impor-
tant industry to the many which now
invite the best effort and energy Of
South Georgians if potato syrup is
proved to be an actual feasible, prof
table product.
Martha nodded.
"Think-Ann Lorimer is locked ut
there! What are we going to do?"
"Get into your car. Let me
thinkw Martha answered.
Her tone was quiet but her face
was as white as a linen mask.

WHAT TIE PRESS IS SAYING.
SOME CURRENT COMMENT ON TIMELY TOPICS
NEWSPAPERS ARE READ.
"a 1hanv Herald \

Every line that goes into a news
paper is read. Whether it be local or
personal, editorial or advertising,
markets or fashions, domestic, for
eign or special" it will not escape
the eagle eye of those who read.
There is a limited number of per-
sons who read everything that's in a
newspaper-overy line on every
page. They pass over nothing. Be
ginning at the top of the first COL
umn on the first page, they read to
the bottom of the last column on the
last page. Another class of readers
is interested only in certain things in
the papers. These certain things they
mentally devour, but ignore the rest.
Still another class is made up Of
those who run a hurried eye over
the whole paper, scanning each col
umn and stopping to read only the
items that promise real or passing
interest.
But somebody reads it all. 1t is
impossible to put line, or even a
word, in a newspaper that will not
be seen. You may hide a needle in
haystack and defy the world to
find it, but to save your life can
you place an item in any newspaper
and keep it hidden.

sion to remark that the answer to the
