Seek Farm News
Big Dailies Now
More Attention Paid to Agricultural
Matters than Ever Before

ATLANTA, Ga, June 8th-The
daily press is paying much more at
tention to the farming industry now
than in many years, according to an
Atlanta publisher Much more farm
information is given than in former
years. Reports of movements for en-
hancing farm crops in value, for bet
tering conditions in rural communi-
ties, for progress in farm legislation
in congress and state legislative bod
les are given preference over other
news and every daily paper is eager
to get and to publish information of
this character.
I'm doing this the papers are but
meeting the public demand said the
Atlanta publisher "The business Of
farming is a larger business than il
it ever has been People in every walk
of life, bankers, manufacturers, mer-
chants, statesmen, all are interested

ever nave been before. his is be-
cause farming is the one industry the
world cannot get along without, and

The prominence given agricultural
matters in the daily papers of Geor-
gia is noted by agricultural editors
here as good sign. They point out
that the papers are indeed "on the
right track in paying especial atten-
tion to farm information and news.
1T has become the big important

ARE YOU WAITING FOR SANTA CLAUS?

Some people have heard some one say times

believed what they have been told. That is all
right They have right to believe what ever
they want to believe The Constitution of the
United States guarantees them that privilege. But
instead OF taking that as cue for redoublcd en-
ergy and determination to stay on top in spite
OF conditions these people have taken it as an ex-
cuse for Stacking up and taking it easy. wait

Hard times, dear folks, are not gift of provi-
dence They are made by men. Good times are
not gift OF providence of uncontrolled
circumstance They made by men. There
were men at work in 1919 to make hard times
There are men at work today to make good times
And the men who bring about the change are
the men who profit by the change
In Fitzgerald there is a fleet of ships OF busi-
ness ahoat a Of trade The wind has slack

headway they few months ago Some

for business to pick up for a steady wind to
come again They are drifting with the fleet.
Some other shippers on these ships have kept
a full spread of sail taking advantage of what
ever puff OF breeze there may be and are SLOWLY
but surely continuing to make some headway
through the calm. When the breeze of good
business starts blowing again these ships will
be ahead, far ahead, of those whose shippers have
given up the voyage until business picks up"
And there is still another class OF shippers in
this little feet of which we are speaking. This
class of skipper has observed the lazy fellow who
has gone to sleep, waiting for Santa Claus to
come. lie has observed the other class of skip
per who is forging slowly ahead, working as us

tow the ship by sheer force of arms +he is deter
mined to get ahead and sees in the general las
sltude OF the hour his big chance to get ahead
When business picks up" the sleepy skipper
will find his competitors far, far ahead of him
The man who has refused to let "slow times"
put him to sleep is going to be heading the pro-
cesslon with pennons flying. He will have made
times better" by his own efforts and he will prof
it for having done So
The Chicago Tribune has adopted for its so

REFoRMERs DON THE CAP AND BELLS

REFORMERS DON THE CAP AND BELLS
The reforming element in this grand old land

some mems minds run. They all seem inspired
by the same mistaken idea, the idea that new
things in themselves must be immoral They all
seem to justify themselves with the equally mis-
taken dea the idea that custom can be regulated
by statute and that morality can be legslated
into folks.
AS matter of fact, the styles OF today are no
more immoral than those of ten, twenty or fifty
years ago The same sort of mind that made
what used to be called "rubbering" when an inch
