Northeast Georgia $ Timely
Move for Better Marketing

HIGHLY notable incident In the Geor-
n gta endeavor for better marketing
a was the convention at Athens this
week of some five hundred farmers, business
men and bankers-leaders IN the states en-
terprisng Northeast. Called to CONSIDER
versiaed food crops, which must be raised
more bundantly than ever before II their
region is to prosper, they gave pa t1cuIarly
earnest thought to the subject Of grain.
Their counties, they were well aware, pro-
duced q goodly po1 ton OF the ninety-one MIL
lion four hundred thousand oushels OF corn
which Georgia will harvest this autumn ana
which should yield, at current prices. upwards
of eighty million dollars. Yet as conditions
now are, neither the Northeast nor any
other part of the Commonwealth finds
ready. and profitable channel through which
to dispose of this golden p ~nty. There are
scores of grain dealers in Georgia. and their
purchases ru:l far into the millions OF bush
els But in the NAH they buy western corn;
not that they arbitrarily prefer 1t to the
Georgia product, but because 1t Is easily pro-
durable in carload loats, carefully graded and
standardized, whereas Georgia corn is scat
tered amongst multitudes of growers who are
without facilities whereby their various
quantities and qualities OF grain can be as
sembled, assorted, and made available TO
large buyers-in short, efficiently marketed.
The Athens convention took an important
step toward solving this problem for it's ter
ritory. 1t hea lily Endorsed the project of
grain. elevator and kindred warehouses to be
esta blished at Clarke county's progressive
capital, and appointed committees to work
out as speedily as possible all the essential
details. Storage and marketing facilities for
sweet potatoes, beans, peas, fresh vegetables,
beef and dairy products, as we'll as for grain,
are embraced in the program Of action to
which farmers, bankers and business men
have pledged their united support.
It is this generous and workmanly CO.
operation that augurs so happily for the en-
terprise, and that commends itself to the
States every county and district. When The
Journal and the Country Bankers Associa-
ton of Georgia inaugurated their better
marketing campaign last week, 1t was
largely in the hope that thoro gh survey
and presentation of the facts would bestir
throughout the Commonwealth just ths
spirit of initiative and of cooperative effort
which the busir ess and agricultural leaders
at the Athens convention have so happily ex-
emplifed May their plans all come to rich
fruition, and their example be widely emu
lated.

DIX'S TALKS-THE VALUE OF BEAUTY

BY DOROTHY DIX

Ia woman Is not: SIS she intelligent? Is she
Of high and noble character? Is she in
teresting?" No. He asks: "Is she good
looking?" II she IT,, nothing else matters. II
she is not good-looking, neither does any
hing else matter There Is nothing stirring
for him. Being a gentleman, he treats her
as such, but he does 1t with the air OF per-
orming duty, and not as a pleasure.
The pretty girl has the cakes and ale Of
q handed to her on silver salver. She
gets the first pick Of the husbands. She
let's the best jobs. IL she goes to work. A
iozen men Jump to their feet to offer her
their seats in a crowded car, but the homely
girl gets what she fights for, and precious
little OF that.
Since men have put this premium on wom-
ans looks, is it any wonder, then, that
women have accepted their valuation Of
beauty, and have made 1t their fetish? How
else could it be, when every woman from
Mother Eve down to the littlest chicken that
teeters on jaybird heel shoes down the street,
knows that the chief end of woman, as far
as men are concerned, is. to be easy on the
eyes, and that cowlike eyes and Cupid's
bow mouth will avail her more than a col
lege education, and an unabridged set Of
all the virtues?
1t is both humorous and pathetic that
women should spend more time cultivating
their hair than they do their minds and
that they should take a more vital interest
In the state of their compilations than they
do in their immortal souls, but men are to
blame for this, because men have made 1t
compulsory for women to be good-looking
whether nature made them that way or not.
Therefore, women have to call art to
their aid. They have to devote anxious
hours of thought, and days Of toll, to max
ing clothes that will give an illusion OF
beauty where there is none. Because men
admire curling locks they go through the
tortures Of being scalped, and scared with
hot irons at the same time, in having per-
manent crimps put into their hair. Be-
cause men sing the praises Of little feet,
women limp around in agony in shoes three
sizes too small for them and with heels set
in the middle of their feet.
Because men admire pink and white COM
p1exions and red lips, women calsomine their
faces, and have a perpetual taste OF grease
paint in their mouths. Because no man loves
a fat woman, women heroically starve them
selves, and deny themselves everything they
like to eat and drink.
Left to themselves, women would wash
their faces, screw up their hair into knot
the size of a walnut, put on their kimcaos
and flip-flop slippers, and be as old, and fat,
and homely, and comfortable as God made
'em, but as long as there is man left they
IAN never do that. They have got to camou-
flage good looks as well as they can. for
Paris still hands out all the prizes in life
to the best locker.

THE COURT JESTER
y BY Dr.. Frank Crane

There is nothing new under the sun.
In these days Of democracy we still have
our heroes, as in the time of King Arthur,
though we are apt to kick them out before
they have warmed the throne with tn cir
loble posterior.
Charlie Chaplin is the modern instance of
long line of Court Testers.
He is the Kings Fool.
For the modern King is The People.
Charlie makes The People laugh when he
adde's upon the screen, just as the jester

;urtiers guffaw and all the ladies smoker
len he scampered in with his bladders rat
ing with dried peas and crouched beside
monarch's throne
Francis the First Of France had his Tribou-
ct.
Henry the Third his Chicot.
And the well-known Alas P. Yori;
amused the King of Denmark and excited
lis neurasthenic heir to philosophic reflec-
ion.
All the kings of the good old days had

He had his uses. He made the monarch

There have been many kinds of kings, but

types of Poles developed by the three nations
that have ruled the people for $50 years.
The German Pole has been edIcated along
practical lines in desperate attempt to make
substantial German citizen of him. Some
IS years ago, laws were made in PrussaD
Poland to prohibit mothers teaching the Pol
sh language to their children. Poles coulo
not buy property nor build homes. A Ger
man who married Polish woman was pen
allied by not being allowed to buy land, since
it was believed that a Polish wife could
quickly turn German husband to her own
way of thinking. These restrictions against
their liberty caused many German Poles to
move to this country.
the national traits, the Poles were moulded
by the German rule. They are today perhaps
the most efficient people Of their race.
Poles in Austria had different expert
ence. The government there gave them
greater personal liberty and the right to vote.
This group brings to the melting pot in
Poland knowledge of politics and govern
ment which the republic urgently needs.
The Russian Pole, the third type, has had
the hardest lot OF all and Polish feeling Is
still strong against Russia as result. The
national dress, language literature were
frowned upon by the Russian government.
Many Of the Russian Poles went into business
where they were least bothered by the gov
eminent. Half of the products manufactured
in Russia were made in Russian Poland.
These three groups should be working to-
gether, each bringing its special knowledge to
the problems Of Poland Unfortunately, they
are having trouble in understanding one an
other. And as one Pole exclaimed: eff ever
they needed cohesion, it is now!"
The Pole in this country studies affairs in
his home country, and likes to go back for
a visit sometimes. But he is becoming more
and more Americanzed. The large numbers
Of Poles who have been trying to go back
recently have no intent of staying when they
get to Poland. They are mostly men who
want to go to find their families who were
to have followed them to this country long
ago. It is not always easy for them to To-
cate these relatives after six years of war
and confusion. And when they do locate
them, the immigration laws add to the diff
fculties It is said that after the monthly
quota is filled, hundreds Of Poles are left still
waiting their chance to come to America.

YOU

Education is study of the world and the
people in it.
You are likely to find good deal the
matter with both.
Most of us are highly critical We are
critical of people, of fate, of religion, even
Of the weather.
We are, however, seldom critical Of our
selves.
There is one person in the world, up to
the time when you have a family OF your
own, who is supremely important to you.
That person is YOU.
Your success means happiness or misery.
Your behavior means the respect or the
dislike of your fellow mortals.
And both your success and behavior de-
pend upon your criticism of yourself-upon
your remembering that YOU are the person
who is most in need of your study and your
discipline and your help.
If you find fault in another man that Is
prominent, look to see if that same fault
isn't in you.
If it is, get rid Of it.
If you find an admirable quality in an
other, examine yourself for indications Of the
same quality.
If you can analyze the, reason for success
in people you know, see if you cannot i'm
plant the same factors in yourself.
1t does not do to be morbid or to get your
self on your mind.
1t is not wise to consider yourself too
much or to De too retrospective.
But it is necessary to know your own faults
that you may try to eliminate them, and to
know your own good qualities that you may
try to improve them
The shortcomings Of others will have lit
tie effect on you. Yours may mean your
ruin.
You can applaud fns deeds and high
thoughts in others, but you ought at the
same time be sure you have stock of these
things in your own makeup.
You are yOu and must rise or fall by what
Fsa are. Think about yourself enough every
Gay to make your thoughts and your work
and your attitude to others count little
more heavily.
Nobody else will do that for you. Of this
you may be sure. 1t is your job, and yours
alone.

FLEDGLING statesman has ~

- .a.rn.4 ranznna. e.a..a hnldAnu

FLEDGLING statesman has intro
~ duced bill In Congresses that seeks
to prevent newspapers from holding
beauty contests the ground that 1t en-
courages women to think too much OF their
personal appearance and that already they
devote more time to trying to improve their
looks than they DO to their homes
Well, why wouldn't they. since the expert
ence Of all the ages has taught woman that
beauty Is her one best bet, and that peaches
and cream complexion, and naturally wavy
hair will profit her more than q bushel of
brains and mountain OF virtues?
OF course. intelligence and culture are
greatly to be desired In the female. So Is
a sweet and lovely nature. SO Is the eff
cheney that makes a woman a good cook
and a thrifty helpmeet, but admirable as
all these qualities are, they sink into innocu-
Gus desuetude before mere peachfness.
No man wants to pluck a lemon, even II
1t does grow on the Tree of knowledge. No
man is interested in the beautiful soul OF
the lady whose outward appearance is home
ly enough to stop the clock. Every man
wants a domestic wife, but he doesn't want
her badly enough to marry the str1ngy
maiden who looks like fifteen cents worth Of
cat meat.
Every woman knows that 1T doesn't make
much difference what Is inside of her head
Just so it is sufficiently adorned on the out
side. She also knows that men value women
for what they look like, not for what they
are, and slim and willowy figure, and gold
en- hair, and violet eyes a perfect alibt
for lack Of sense. and industry, and general
worthliness in woman
Every day OF our lives we see intelligent
men. highly educated men, leading ships OF
girls to the alter who haven't two ideas to
rub together in their little jellybean heads.
They never read anything deeper than
dream book in their lives. They will never
have a single thought In common with their
husbands, or be any more companion to
them than a fluffy kitten would be-.
But the men passed up all of the
plain faced, bespectacled college grad
uate girls to select little pretty face for
life partner because of the way her hair
eurled on the nape OF her white neck and
the roses bloomed in her cheeks.
All of US know dozens OF men who are
working themselves to death-and doing it
,heerfully-to buy Paris finery for some liV-
ing picture to whom they are married, and
I'll of us know that homely woman has to
almost chloroform her husband to get the
price of new dress out of him.
If woman is sufficiently pulchritudinous
here Is no sin under heaven that man will
1T forgive her. He will stand for extrava-
gance, and selfishness in a pretty wife. He
will overlook bad spelling and mistakes for
I beauteous stenographer. He will condone
'vrde~ if committed by lily white hand,
for it has been proved time and again that
no male will convict any young and pretty
''e criminal.
