distinct parts of speech. The rela-
ton of the word is recognized by

the syllable burg" and "burgh" in
such words as pittsburgh" and

"h" in such words has become
matter of preference. Strictly speak
ing, the two words burg" and
"burgh' are distinct. The former
was used by historians to refer to
a fortress or walled town of early
or medieval times, and to exclude
the later idea of incorporation con-
tanned in the word ''burgh" or
borough"

ing used in London? D. N.
A. Yes. They are said to be very
much in demand.

A. This was the name of Don
QuiXotes steed. raw. bony and full

HOME-MADEPLOW
OFFERS A SERMON
IN FORT VALLEY
BY c1EoNE D. BRAswELL

FORT VALLEY, Ga. Jan. g.
There is an unusual display in the
window of one of the banks of
Fort Valley. In these days of inven-
ton and perfection of machinery,
it seems that just an old homemade
plow would scarcely attract the no.
tice of a passerby. But it is never
theless true that it does. and it is
interesting to see the busy business
men as they come and go, stop,
look and draw a little closer to
read the message on the ancient
farmer of Houston county in the
days Immediately following 1866
that time when the whole south
was passing through it's darkest
period and cropping, blindly, as it
day.
With that pillow and thousands of
others like it. with a spirit of per-
severance, faith in the reward of
southern farmer in that dark day
of his life by the sweat of his
brow. by strict economy and the
blessings of God paved the founda-
ton for the prosperous new south
which followed.
On the pillow on display there is
slip of paper and written thereon
are these words: Where there's a
will there's a way"
The crude old, lifeless product
there, made out of an old oak that
grew somewhere in the heart of
Georgia in the days long, long gone
bears wonderful message-a silent
exhortation of encouragement to the
farmer Cf today who is passing
through valley" in his agricultural
experience.
The pillow represents something of
| the spirit of those valient south
erners who came home from war hun
cry and sick and tired and discour-
aged--yet not beaten-with chin up
lifted, with hope beating eternal in
their hearts, and with spirit that
enabled them to surmount difficult
| ties, to strive, to win.
A flabby purse, a limited bank ac-
count, world of obstacles cannot
restrain such persistence, such sim
pie faith in grand old earth. and
| if that old plow says anything at all
it says, "have faith in the future
carry on"

SHORT SELLERS
BET ON BIG CROP,
BULLETIN SAYS

That cotton is selling now for de-
ivery in New York next October at
1870 cents a pound. and that this
is nothing more nor less than a bet
by short sellers that the southern
growers will make a big crop next
year, overstock the market and there
by holding down the price Of that
crop not only, but this years crop
also, is the argument in favor OF
acreage reduction used by the state
bureau of markets in its weekly
bulletin which went to press Wed
nesday.
The bulletins appeal to cotton
growers throughout Georgia to cut
their production next year is as
follows:
LAS this bulletin goes to press you
can buy all the cotton you want for
next October delivery in New York
at 1870 cents per pound. Cotton de-
Nvered in New York is worth nearly
a cent a pound more than at Georgia
two cents a pound is required. This
bureau has never encouraged our
people to speculate and does not do
so now. The man who will sell you
cotton at the above stated price for
short seller who does not produce a
pound Of cotton and is permitted un-
der. unwise laws TO sell something
which does not exist. This gambler
parasite
cotton is willing to bet that you will
go ahead and raise another normal
crop Of cotton in 1921. This gam
bier knows that EXPORT trade in cot
ton is not functioning now, due to
financial disturbance in Europe. He
figures that with our normal export
demand suspended, that you will
produce a 1921 cotton crop in ex-
cess of the demand and that he
therefore can make money betting at
these figures
I'VE all know that it will cost at
least thirty cents a pound to raise
our 1921 cotton.
"The gambler is willing to bet
that lack the common sense to cur
tail our production so that it will
not exceed the demand of a tenn
porarily crippled market.
We of the south know that we
should not produce over half cot
carefully figured out that If no farm
er shall plant more than one-third
Of his cultivated land to cotton in
1921 that we will not produce over
nall a crop, or approximately six
million bales.
Make it your Individual business
to join hands with your neighbors
and form a county executive COM
mittee. and militia district commit
tee whose duty it shall be to or
ganize the, farmers of your county
see the wisdom of not planting over
one-third of his cultivated land in
cotton. If you will do this it will
prove our salvation. Will you do it?
Let us once and for all prove to
the cotton gamblers who are TAX
ing advantage of our situation that
ilies.''

GET THRIFT HABIT
Saving Money Is More Important
 Than Earning It.
All May Not Have Ability to Acquire Wealth, but Few Cannot Save
 Part of Earnings.

. A story was related In the Journal recently which Illustrates the cumu- lative value of thrift. A woman died in an eastern city leaving a fortune said to be close to $200,000, a large part of which was made from d small fruit stand.
 In the accounts of her death 1t was stated that she was not miser, but she was noted for her benehcent deeds In the community in which she lived. She was liberal and thoughtful in her attitude toward those of her neigh bors who were in poor circumstances, but through the years of her life she was careful to save the profits from her small business. She eliminated waste as much ss possible. She watched the little things, stopped the little leaks and knew the worth of making every penny count.
 One of the great fnanciers of the world once said that 1t required much boldness and caution to make a great fortune. but that when you got 1t 1t required ten times greater wit to keep AAs % iS hUl every OhC WAS SuA Dc- come a successful money-maker. The ability to acquire wealth is knack. but 1t requires no special aptitude to learn to save money, and 1t is more ' important to save money than 1t Is to earn it.
 It requires wtll-power and moral stamina to practice thrift, fer, no mat ter how great may be our earnings, our temptations are always of corre- spending magnitude. Those who can not save money op limited income will find themselves unable to do so If their incomes become large, for the principle is the same. whether great sums or small ones are involved. F.. >[ The foundations of most of the solid fortunes in America today were laid through the practices of thrift. Wealth gained too quickly or too easily sell dom lasts; so that. from the stand point of material riches, thrift Is nee essary for permanency and stability.
 No man can afford not to be thrifty, whether he be wealthy or poor. It Is within the power of every one to save money, even though the amount may be small. These practices will not bring guarantee of wealth, but they will assure at least modest success and often prevent total failure.-Chi- cago Journal. ,+
