Making And Saving

Atlanta, Georgia.-(Special.)-" High
prices for cotton, such as we had a
year ago cannot reasonably be expect
ed for long time to come. European
countries that normally use half our
crop are so thoroughly disorganized
and pa-a!yzed in business way that
they will not be able to take the
usual quantities and pay high prices
Cor many years to come" said H. q.
Hastings, President Of the great
Southeastern Fair.
This situation which we cannot
control, calls for lower costs Of max
ing cotton as well as reduction In cot
ton acreage. The quickest, safest
and most effective way to reduce cot
ton making cost is to produce on ones
own acres every pound Of food, grain
and forage needed for family, tenants
and laborers and live stock.
THE situation requires chickens.
hogs, milk cows and acres Of corn,
cats, wheat, forage and miscellane
GUS crops from which to feed them
Last, but not least, in importance, II
the home vegetable garden which is
the quickest and cheapest source OF
food In the world.
Most folks here In the South don't
take the home garden seriously and
thereby make a great mistake. There
are too many of the lick and prom
ise' sort Of gardens and mighty few
Of the real sure enough kind.

"The garden Is, or rather should be,
the earliest planted. 1t brings food
the quickest. It starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
is ready to use. A little later, half

GERMANY BATTLING
TO REGAIN SILESIA

London, Jan. 29.-Germany and
Poland are battling bitterly to win
the plebescite in Upper Silesia
March Is.
By this plebiscite the people will
determine whether they will come
under German or Polish rule.
Both countries want this territory
because of its great coal resources.
Germany, which has had to sur
render the Saar Basin coal regions
to France, for Is years, says it will
mean total ruin if it loses the Sile-
sian coal fields.
Poland claims she must have them
to fuel her industries.
Both sides charge unair campaign
methods, intimidation and violence.
Though most of the people speak
Polish, the territory has been under
German rule for 700 years.
Political leaders in Germany talk
of violence if the allies award the
territory to Poland, Vice versa with
Polish leaders.
The Polish legation announces
that the Polish general staff is reor-
ganizing a regular army according
to military standards. But it denies
That the army is being modified
in full strength:
That the Poles are concentrating
troops on the Esthonian, Latvian
and Rumanian frontiers;
That there are prospects of re-
newal Of warfare between Poland
and Bolshevik Russia.
The legation blsmes the Germans
for the baseless mobilization report,
which is to depress Polish currency
and credit, to otherwise weaken the
country, and to influence the plebis-
cite.
It reports that five classes Of the
army have been demobilize and that
it now numbers only 100000 men.
The legation says the Polish high
command expects a peace treaty to
be signed with the Bolshevih in
February.

THE UNHURRIED MAN
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

TAITH is ones self, faith in ones fellow
men, faith in God-these are the in
fluences which above all others con-
tribute to transforming clustered, hurried, in
efficient minds into serene, unhurried and
efficient ones The deficient in faith are in
evitably the deficient in poise.
And it is largely because SC many men
mistrust their powers, dstrust their fellow
men, and have no particular confidence in
the benevolence of God that hurried, anxious
thinking and doing are conspicuous in the
life of the world
Anxiety, indeed, must possess all who lack
faith. For they necessarily live in an at
mosphere of uncertainty as to the outcome
of all their undertakings. Every day and the
day through they unconsciously keep putting
to themselves the question:
ri wonder how this will go and how go
that?"
Driven to doubt, they desperately seek to
make sure that this and that will go to their
liking So they "hustle" as the phrase is
They do everything in rush"
They "hustle" and rush" to their work,
and through it. They make "snap judg-
ments' when decisions are required of them.
They give themselves, in fact little time
really to think about anything. They are in
too much of a hurry to think these poor
worried, anxious folk.
Naturally the odds are heavy against their
winning a distinguished success. They are
immeasurably more like to be in difficulties
all the time. Which only tends to make
them more anxious and their minds hurried
and Hurried.
Just one way of escape is open to them
recourse to the steadying power of faith.
They must gain through faith the sane atti-
tude and outlook characteristic of all men Of
unhurried mind
Nor is the gaining of faith such an in
superable matter it may seem to those
who have been hurrying and worrying almost
from the outset of their lives.
Sincere prayer will help them gain the
faith they need. Church-going will help.
And by church-going do not mean merely
attendance at regular church services.
Many churches keep their doors open week
days as well as Sundays. perpetually offering
opportunity to pray and mediate in a faith
developing atmosphere. Their invitation
should frequently be accepted--if only for
fleeting visits of a few minutes at time
by the unpoised, the men and women of trou-
bled, hurried mind.
Contemplation of the glori9s and beauties
Of Nature will also help toward the gaining
OF the faith that both tranquiliizes and en-
erg1zes. IF you doubt God, go look at the
stars"-aye, and at the hills anG rocks the
woods and t'elds the ocean and the brooks,
or their pictured semblance as found in mas
terp1eces Of painting,
But" one objects, "I cannot spare the
time to drop into churches to make piIgri-
images to the open country, to go incoming
through art galleries. There is so much else
1 must do"
