, THE ART OF SILENCE
BV Il. AddingtOn Bruce
TEW people, I find, have any defni
idea as to what is meant by the ter

TEW people, I find, have any definite
r idea as to what is meant by the term
hedonism. Yet many among those
| same people, to their great misfortune, are
consistent practitioners of hedonism without
knowing it,
All, in fact are hedonists who live as
| though they believe that the great purpose Of
| life is to get as much pleasure as possible
out of it. Which means one is strongly tempt
ed to add, that hedonsm is the prevailing
philosophy of today.
| Certainly there are acute observers of
modern society who do not hesitate to af-
| firm that this is the case. Thus we find Jay
! William Hudson, in his "The Things We
| Live By declaring:
Zone way of finding the temper of peo-
| pie is to observe the social sets that are
| looked up to for guidance and emulation.
| Now, it is clear that American social sets
exist not primarily for intellectual or even
aesthetic culture, but for the achievement
of pleasure. For society in America this has
become a strenuous social business, and has
almost assumed the character of a social
art.
and the people at large tend within
their limits Of opportunity, to adopt this
same search for pleasure as a secondary re-
ligious creed. They take it so seriously that
| it is hard-nay, almost impossible-for
Americans to cultivate the virtue of thrift.
'It is this hedonistic ideal that causes
titudes of people the right to achieve pleas
ure is even the fundamental moral duty, and
| it's achievement the supreme test of the sue
cessful life"
But, as Mr.. Hudson is quick to point out
| THE saddest and most jaded being on this
earth is the professional pleasure-seeker.
The life of pleasure, as in the case Of Faust,
comes upon it's own tragic self-defeat .
"Thus it is that, historically, hedonistic
theories have always developed out of them
selves into more adequate views of life. And
hedonistic civilizations have either been de-
stroyed or have grown into civilizations of
a larger creed.
Life is a struggle for moral goal where
every achievement gives pleasure, and yet
whose every step means something too, Of
| the positive pain Of sacrifice"
If you who read these passages must con-
! TESS yourself hedonist, take warning from
| them. Mere pleasure seeking will never gain
! for you real pleasure. Boredom is its sure
reward.
Whereas, paradoxically, to forget pleasure
| in the effort at rendering service through
accomplishment means the winning of a
pleasure so real that it may bring with it
ecstasy.
| And effort at accomplishment-eff to
| do things really worth whie-must become
| the creed of the average man, not merely
| OF the exceptional One if national as we'll as
individual welfare is to be assured, and ma
| tonal progress put beyond the shadow of a
| doubt
| Always the survivors among nations as
among individuals are the fit. Devotion to
hedonism-devotion to ideals of pleasure
| Seeking-means national unfitness Let no
citizen who calls himself patriot forget
| that.

Wood Pub IN the South

~ PECIAL comment in a report just filed
by the Government Forest Service is
made on the rapid development and
growth of wood pulp manufacture in the
South, which has bounded in scope and value
to four times in 1920 what it vas in 1915.
This important industry, says the Manu-
facturers' Record has been fostered and en-
couraged by the first great success on large
scale commercially by the Southern Lumber
Company at Bogalusa, Louisiana.
In the government report it is stated that
eleven mills in southern states pr >duced 1 a.
6O4 tons of pulp in 1920, valued at S14 ,053,-
$40, as against 1889 tons, valued at 3d.
407,333 in 1916, at which time the product
was marked, of less value than that pro-
duced by the modern mills
The vast advantage of the south in this in
dustry may be understood from a comparison
of the price of wood to Southern mills and to
mills averaged over the rest Of the country.
The price per cord Of pulp-wood to southern
mills averages s12.91; the average cost to
the mills elsewhere in the United States is
5000.
The comment made by the Forest Service
report is that "a great future is indicated
for the wood pulp industry in the yellow pine
states"
And Of these Georgia is peculiarly rich in
the romantic and now distinctly valuable
"piney woods"

monal miracles that no one can count upon,
and there are risks enough in matrlmony
without a mans taking a chance on what
he is going to be himself when he becomes
a
If you will observe the happy, contented
married couples among your acquaintance
you will take notice that in almost every
one the man was old enough to know what
he about before he picked out a wife.
Likewise he was old enough, and had had
experience enough, to know how to manage
other people-how to sidestep unpleasant
domestic situations, how to deal fairly and
Justly with his wife, and how to cajole her
into doing the way he wanted her to do, in
I stead of humping into all of the little &c
centrcities of her temper. It takes man S
wisdom to manage woman. It's no task
for boy-babes and sucklings.
If man has his own way to make in the
world an early marriage is handicap that
nothing short of financial genius can sur
mount 1t takes money to make money. The
pass word that opens the door of oppor-
tunity is your pass book at the bank. You've
got to have your feet loose to climb
These are truisms that every man knows,
but that he puts behind him when he COM
mits the folly of an early marriage. The
man who has to support family can save
nothing out of small salary. He can never
get ahead. He can never take advantage
of the opportunities that come his way. He
cannot take any risks when the fate of his
wife and children are at stake. He is do
nestle slave, fettered to his desk and with
no chance of ever freeing himself
| 1t breaks his heart and his spirit. He
| loses initiative and courage as he watches
men of less ability outstrip him in the race.
| And the young man who has blighted his
own prospects by his ill-advised marriage
makes a. miserable husband because he
| takes out on his wife and children his I'M
potent fury at his own folly.
young man married is young man
married, says the old proverb, and 1t is
motto that every boy should hang over his
mirror where he will see it every time he
! brushes his hair or shaves, and so have this
| homely wisdom borne in upon his mind.
On the other hand, a man should not
| wait too late to marry because it takes lot
| of enthusiasm and romance to stand any
| woman's eculiarities, and make man feel
| that her society is worth her bills, and II
| is only when we are young that we can GO
| up that sort of altruistic feeling about an
other human being. Also a man should
marry before he gets fussy about his eat
ing and crochety about having his things
kept exactly SO, and acquires ways that nc
woman should be expected to stand
| By the time man is thirty he is old
! enough to know his own mind and not toe
old to change it. He has had his little fling
and is ready to settle down. He is able to
support family without feeling it a bur-
! den, and he is ripe for matrimony.

The Farm Markets Federation,
a Lever for Georgia Progress

TN the advent of the Georgia Farm Mar
vide efficient means for the disposal of
crops other than cotton has reached a high
ly important stage. Initiated last week at a
conference of spokesman for the Country
Bankers and the Georgia Bankers associa-
tions, and with the warm goodwill OF ag-
ricultural and business leaders, the Fedora
ton presents to all who appreciate the need
of better markets broad base for effec-
tive co-working.
While it's detailed plans and processes re-
main to be evolved it's general scope and
purpose are clear. 1t will seek to serve the
whole Commonwealth in the whole range Of
food production, and at the same time to
adapt it's methods to divers local needs.
South Georgia, Middle Georgia, North Geor-
gia, all will receive it's diligent attention.
Grain, forage, vegetables, animal husbandry,
dairying, indeed every food crop and indus
try of commercial proportions will command
it's earnest interest and aid.
Such service it scarce need be said, calls
for varied facilities for flexible methods,
and for Statewide cooperation. Where there
is diversified production there must be OIL
diversified marketing. Where the sundry soils
and climate zones and seasonal aspects OF
dealt with, there must be the utmost elastic
ity of procedure. To this end it is essential
that all regions and all interests OF the
State work together, for on no less liberal
a basis can a problem so complex and lar
flung be solved. Farmer, banker, and mer-
chant each must bear his part; commerce,
industry and agriculture must pull shoulder
to shoulder; town and countryside must
make common cause; producer and consum-
er must act upon their mutual interest as
Georgians. This done, success will be as
sured the Farm Markets Federation in the
enterprise it has so auspiciously launched.
No more important, no more imperative
work for the common veal now asks sup
port. For want of adequate facilities and Ell
fcient methods for marketing the food
products of her farms Georgia is not only
spending millions abroad which could De
kept at home, but also wasting most Ter
tile resources and losing opportunities that
are priceless. The situation, long disquietlng,
has been hurried to crisis by enforced re-
duction of the cotton acreage as the boil
Weevil has advanced, and by the consequent ne
cessity of establishing markets for the crops
which must fill the cotton gap II economic
disaster is to be averted 1t was IN response
to this urgent demand that the Country
Bankers Association and The Journal under
took some eight weeks ago campaign OF
inquiry and enlightenment, which led ma
turally to the Farm Markets Federation.
The campaign will go steadily on with a
view to increasing still further the fund OF
knowledge and popular interest; and Mr..
Ralph Smiths richly informative and
thought-arousing articles will continue to
appear. 1t is in the Farm Markets Fedora
tion however, that the State now will lind
the lever to definite and progressive re-
suits in this vital field of service.

FEMININE FINANCE-By Frederic j. Haskn

unable to save anything and that 1t OFTEN
ran into debt. The home savings expert went
over his list of household expenses and i'm
mediately saw that a large part of his sal
airy was going to servants, five being en-
ployed to do the work of a comparatively
small household. She advised him to dis
charge these five and employ two in their
place, which effected saving of over $500
month.
Women Ignorant of Money
According to this home savings expert,
the ignorance of women on financial mat
ters is sometimes appalling. In one case in
which she was personally interested, for ex-
ample, young woman acquaintance from a
small town in the northern part Of the state
came to New York as a bride and went to
live in an attractive apartment on Riverside
Drive. Shortly afterward, her husband was
CON- PEELED to go to Canada on business
trip. The home savings expert CHANGED to
pay her first call on the couple the day. that
he had departed and found the young bride
sobbing violently.
Come, now, don't cry" soothed the good
lady, putting a maternal arm around the
girl. "Of course you will miss aim
81 shan't," replied the bride, crying hard
er than ever. 81 shan't miss him Bit He
has done terrible thing, and l will never,
never forgive him."
By degrees, the home savings expert learn
ed from the fearful bride that her husband
had gone away without leaving her any

planned the young wife, land he said he had
left a check for me on the desk. He did
| leave the check, but he neglected to fill it
out. Oh!"-(here she wept violently again)

The home savings expert walked over to
the desk and picked up the guilty check,
looked hard at it, and then burst out laugh
ing.
''You don't deserve such husband, my
DEAR she declared. you really should be
ashamed of yourself Here the good man
has left you a perfectly nice signed check
and trusted you to fill in the amount your

On the whole, though this woman be-
lieves, women of the simple doll type are
growing very rare. The majority of mod
ern women, she says, take great pride in
tler own capability, show much skill in
managing their finances, and seldom allow
| themselves to get the worst of a bargain.
Considering that they have never been spe-
| cially trained for buying goods, they are re-
markedly successful in the management of
| their household business, but this innate
ability cannot wholly compensate for lack of
| training. The most comfortable, contented
homes are those where thrift prevails and
the family finances are Systematically dis
| tributed by means of budget.

4 Woman to Women
COMMENTING on the recent victory
I won by Mayor Hylan and Tammany

~OMMENTING on the recent victory
won by Mayor Hylan and Tammany
in New York City, when the mayor
was returned to office in overwhelming
fashion, one woman voter, Annie Nathan
Meyer, writes to the New York Times let
ter that may reasonably be pondered by
women voters everywhere, without reference
to the merits of the flat statement by the
writer that it was an courageous victory.
There is one lesson to be learned which
maJ make up in part for the dsappoint-
ment," says Mrs. Cor Miss?) Meyer. cit is
that one sex is not more sensitive to the
higher needs of life than the other; that
women as we'll as men need education in
the fundamental requirements of good,
straight business government. Let us call a
truce forever to the flattery that has been
poured at the feet of women the last few
weeks I say poured but it really was too
sticky to justify the word
1t is evident says this woman voter that
Tammany has nothing to fear from women
and she concludes:
"Will the suffrage leaders and all
thoughtful, earnest women everywhere take
to heart the lesson of Tammany's outrageous
victory and from now on stop appealing to
one sex t. save the world?"
This suggestion is so clearly put that il
needs no calculation, whether the reader be
| in agreement or not.

Te1ebhony, Present and Future

rTHE modern telephone system, with due
Il regard for occasional individual kinks
of temperament, not to say temper,
has done one thing moe than anything else.
1t has shortened the time required for doing
multitude of things which modern life IN
duces us to regard as essential 1t has less
ened the number of steps in so vast degree
as to be computable only by astronomers, &C
customed to deal in gigantic matters such as
light-years and cons. Telephony, neVerthe-
less, is no labor-saver; rather it adds
enormously to the work of the world by in
creased facilities for doing it. Just as GER
tainly it takes away some of the leisure we
once enjoyed and there be those who sug-
gest that 1t adds irritations that our recent
ancestors escaped.
And yet telephony is in it's infancy. 1t is
in the main a means of communication be-
tween individual and individual; but recent
accomplishments have indicated the "osslb1l-
ity of the communication of groups of per-
sons; and the day may be looked for when
any group desiring to know what any other
group is saying doing may be able to do
so, without reference to the size of either OF
the groups.

tored down, to Alfred AustelPs place at
Douglasville, and with portable equipment

lished a-Feceiving connection with Plttsburg
listened to band cOncert-a cornet solo
the details of two ten-round boxing contests,
called blow by blow, by human voice in the
ami hitheater-and heard the cheering of the
crowd when the fighting waxed warm.
Voices of the night, traversing the ether
hundreds and hundreds of miles, may seem
a bit spookish now; but they are heralds OF
the new telephony that may be expected to
make speaking reighbors of all the peoples or
