DOROTHY DIX TALKS-No Fool Like Old Fool


and ridicule, because everybody sees how
easily he has been taken in by an adventures.
Hardheaded business men no long trust his
judgment because he has given unmistakable
evidence that his mind is weakening, and he
is becoming silly and senile.
1t is not an uncommon thing for men who
started out as poor. boys and have acquired
fortunes to cast off their old wives, and mar
ry young ones to match their new prosperity,
but if you will notice you will see that in
variably it marks the end Of the man S
career. He begins to go downward from the
day he does it, because nobody honors, or
trusts, or respects the man who can be made
a fool of by woman.
The old man who can see that his wife
has grown elderly, but who fancies himself
still mere youth is, in the phrase of the
day, simply kidding himself. He is suffering
from delusiOn just as much as the lunatic
who tells you that he is the Pope of Rome.
All of us seek to believe that we look young
err than our age, and have the heart of chill
dren. but when we come in contact with real
youth we very soon find out our error.
Let the old man try to go the pace of his
young wife, let him jump around at tennis,
and dance one-half of the night, and JOY
ride the other half, and rush from pleasure
to pleasure, and Place to place. His old
bones will cry out for the easy chair by the
radiator, and his tired old eyes will close in
sleep, and his painting old heart will make
him wheeze and cough, and he will wish
often enough that he was back with the old
wife whose idea of hilarious evening was
doing over a newspaper by the fire.
And what companionship can a man OF
sixtyfour expect from young girl? The
subjects that are thrillingly interesting to
her, mean nothing to him. He does not even
speak her language, while the things that
he cares for bore her stiff When we get old
live in the past. and no woman, though
she were Aspasia herself, can hand out as
fascinating line of conversation to her hus-
band as the one who can go back with him
over forty years of life and say, do you re-
MEMBER"
1t is the work they have done together,
| the plans they have planned together, the
hopes and aspirations they have held in
common, the night watches over sick beds
they have shared together, the little graves
they have wept over together, that bind a
man and woman with tie that really never
can be broken.
When man makes money he is set upon
by predatory women who flatter him, and
cajole him, and ply their evil arts upon him,
in order to rob him. When the man is
young, and has his wits about him, he often
resists these sirens but when he is old and
childish he often is captured by them, which
is pity.
But there is no reasoning with him, for
there's no fool like an old fool.

The Hawk;nsv;11e Bridge
THE Hawkinsville bridge, dedicated Fl

day with appropriate ceremonies,
stands as a splendid memorial to the
Georgians who gave and offered their lives
in the great World War.
1t stands also as monument to the cause
of good roads, which is marching on in Geor-
gia with increasing rapidity and a steadily
rising tide of public favor.
The bridge was built at cost Of more than
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, with
a combination of County, State and Federal
funds. 1t was under construction more than
eighteen months, during which time Pulaski
County operated a ferry across the Ocmulgee
river. 1t was a notable fact that river cross
ings were not diminished materially by the
temporary inconvenience of the ferry.
Pulaski County, prosperous and progress
sive, extended a general invitation to her
neighbors and friends in all parts of Georgia
to attend the dedication, and public interest
was shown by large attendance. An old
fashioned Georgia barbecue was served,
speeches were made and the memorial tablets
on the bridge were unveiled with impressive
ceremonies.
| This bridge is built to stand as long as the
| Pyramids Of Egypt. When it's massive con-
cete arches shall have become as old as the
! Appian Way it will still be carrying traffic.
| What prophet can foretell the changes and
| developments which will come to pass before
this great structure shall have passed away?

= HAVE received letter from man who
says that he is sixty-four years old. He
- has been married for nearly forty years
and has children and grandchildren. He
has been successful in business, and amass-
ed comfortable fortune, and has led re-
spectacle, Godfearing life, and is pillar in
the community in which he lives.
But now he has fallen in love with a girl
in her twenties and he wants to divorce his
wife and marry her. No-there's not a
thing the matter with his wife. She's as
good a woman as ever lived, and she worked
shoulder to shoulder with him during all the
years that they were getting a start in lie,
and of course he will provide we'll for her
financially. The trouble is that she's an old
woman at sixty, done with romance, while at
sixty-four he feels himself young and senti-
mental boy.
And he wants to know what I think about
it. Why, | think that he should go and bang
on the doors of the nearest lunatic asylum
until they take him in, and lock him up in a
padded cell where he will be safe until his
attack of mental alteration is over.
He is suffering from a brain storm, poor
thing and it isn't safe for him to be at large
with his nice, fat pocketbook in world that
is full of greedy young vampires, who are
just looking for dotty, rich old men upon
whom they can feast.
AS for his being in love with a girl young
enough to be his granddaughter. pouf--
that's an illusion, while as for his believing
that she loves him-thats delusion that
any competent alenist would pronounce an
unmistakable symptom of senile dementia.
Such things don't happen in real life. Old
bones don't suddenly get rejuvenated. Old
hearts, that have gone along doing their
work for forty years with no more emotion
than steam pump, don't all at once begin
to thrill, and culver, and palpitste. Romantic
love no more comes back to the man Of six
ty-four than an apple tree blossoms in De-
cember, and the man who thinks that he can
play Romeo with one foot in the grave is
simply the victim of mania.
Nor do young girls fall in love with old
men. You never hear Of a beautiful young
heiress falling in love with an aged pauper.
1t is always a poor young girl who per-
suades some rich old idiot that he has won
her unsophisticated affections. The old man,
who thinks that a young girl is in love with
his charms, is seeing things, and needs a
keeper.
Leaving out of the discussion the bastard
ly wrong that man does in forsaking the
faithful old wife who has given her life to
his service, who has borne him children,
who has nursed him in sickness and who has
cherished him in health, and whose industry
and thrift have done just as much towards
building up his success as his labor has, it
is an act of unmitigated folly, just for his
own sake, for an old man to swap old
wife for new one. He gets nothing out of
it but misery and regret.
In the first place he makes himself an OBJ
ject of derision and contempt to all who
know him. He is figure of fun, of hooking

The Trial of the O1O1

wardly more impressive but for vital
subject matter not more important
than that of the OWL recently conducted by
jury of the John Burroughs club. The owl,
inasmuch as it occasionally preys upon chick
ems and is, besides, of a VIGOROUSLY moping
temperament, hailed for judgment before
disciples of that beloved naturalist who now
listens to the skylarks of Elysium& Can any
thing be said in eXtenuation of the OWLS
forays upon our destined broilers? Is there
in his moody nature what Hamlet might call
a dram of good'-a redeeming leaven Of
wisdom of service that should persuade us
to spare him? Such were the questions before
dious consideration of the evidence the jury
brought in a verdict which not only recon-
mended mercy, but extolled the defendant as
an invaluable destroyer of rodents.
For every chicken he may pilfer, the owl
makes way with multitudes of mice, ground
squirrels and other pests which, were they
not kept down by his nightly vistations,
would soon over-swarm field and farmstead.
Even the hawk, that fell pirate Of barnyard
and rOOst, is credited with substantial serV-
ices. "In several regions of Eastern and Mid
die Western States" the record runs,
"bounties for hawks so reduced their num-
Der that small rodents increased beyond con-
troll and caused serious damage" while in
the Humboldt Valley of Nevada mice multi
piled SO rapidly and wrought such havoc that
mot only was the bounty on hawks and owls
repealed, but efforts made to recolonize
them"
We hold no brief for the hawk; and albeit
the owl commands our profound admiration
for his sapient silence, we would not thrust
upon others our own sentiment concerning
him. But when it comes to the kindier birds
and songsters, there is room for differ
ence of opinion. Merely as insect destroyers
they are worth their weight in platinum and
pearls. Not to conserve them is foolish; not
to love them is pitiable.

BV DR.. Frank Crane

BY Dr. FRANK Crdre
1 have already called attention to the fact
that Germany, which lost the war, is in a
fair way to win the peace.
For the simplest of all reasons.
1t is prohibited from having an army and
navy.
Which reacts upon nation very much as
prohibiting his bottle acts on a drunkard.
The country blossoms forth in prodigious
prosperity, just as the man becomes strong
and healthy.
Take an Industrious, capable people like
the Germans and remove the horrible incu-
bus of militarism, which was always draw
ing it's blood, emptying it's Golfers, and throt-
Ting its progress, and put these people into
competition say with the French, who are
still keeping a million idlers in uniform,
more or less, and any child can see what
will happen in ten years.
All the money Germany has to pay in rep
arations, all the territory she lost, Alsace,
Lorraine and her colonies, and all the men
she had killed and crippled will not begin to
balance against the tremendous advantage
she will have, in the race Of nations, by be-
ing rid of her bloodsucking military leech.
The blinded nations which conquered Ger
many are riding headlong to the ditch Japan,
the United States, Great Britain, and France,
because they are too insane to get together
and throw down their arms, and are still
pouring billions into the sewer of war pre-
paredness, will, unless they change, find
themselves, almost within the time of one
generation outstripped by the new Germany.
For any nation that has vision enough to
abandon armament will outstrip the others.
Germany has not the vision, but destiny
seemed to have forced the program upon her.
News reports indicate that Germany is
about to enter a period of great industrial
"boom." Leading brokers report increases in
dealings from 3 to 1000 per cent. Fresh
evidence of the activity of the German ship
ping industry is accommodating. The Hamburg
American line is making great bid for
American traffic, and is shortly putting in
commission the 12,000-ton Bayern, built at
Bremen in the Vulcan works; the Is, 000-tOD
Hansa, built at Hamburg in the Vulcan
works, and in the early autumn third ship.
the Wurtemberg, 1900 tons. All three will
be used on the Hamburg-New York service.
For the frs time since the war the Ham
rg-American line is issuing bulky time
table containing the sailings of it's own and
subsidiary lines.
The German potash industry reports I'M
precedented activity, though the price has
recently increased.
many's ever-ncreasing prosperity has caused
the Berlin stock exchange to be closed for
two~days in every week Banks, brokers, and
jobbers are swamped with thousands of
orders, and clients stampeding to par
ticipate in the great boom in Industrial
shares. Hundreds of extra clerks are bein g
engaged, working far into the night to cope
with the overwhelming rush of buying and
selling orders.
So runs the world away!

The Value of Our CROPS

~ OVERNMENT statistics dsprove the
theory that the farmers of the coun-
try were "soured" over their expert
ence of previous years and planted sparsely,
only for home consumption. True it is per-
haps that the farmers of the South were not
inclined to raise much 20-cent cotton to sell
at fifteen cents pound, especially when they
knew that the boil weevil pests would nullify
the good derived from heavy fertilization.
Therefore, as men of Judgment, the cotton
growers of the South, in 1921, used little fer
tilizers under their cotton, planted less and
heavily enriched the soil in which their grain
crops grew. The results are less cotton and
more grain, particularly corn.
The estimators of the government report
that the last corn crop in the United States
was 1882, OO0.0 900 bushels, the largest harvest
of that cereal on record. In the spring of
1920, when the seed were going into the
ground it was selling at $500 bushel; the
human propensity to raise large crops that
sell for high prices is irresistible regardless
of lectures and preachments Of those who may
or may not know what they are talking about.
Corn seed were drilled into the burrows in
different spirit this year. The market had
dropped to S5 cents bushel, with the pros
pect of its going still higher. The present
price of corn is around fifty cents bushel
Instead of causing the corn farmer to sulk
In his tent and to curtail production, the
report caused him to increase his acreage
to Al per cent or 10S, 901 900 acres over the
1920 figures, and despite many discourage
ments of weather, credit and falling mar
kets the incoming yield will be 3,1S6,000,-
900, according to the report of September
1. The decline from the yield of last year
is so small as to be negligible.
Wheat, with go per cent of the 1920 crop,
and a prospective yield of 54,000,000 bush
els, compared with 7S7,OOO,OO0 last year;
oats, with an acreage of 3 Il per cent larger
than last year, but a harvest reduced by ad-
verse weather conditions to 1,09O,000,00O
bushels, compared with 100000 last
year; Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, with
larger acreage, but about the same percent
age of yield, and all other crops except to-
bacco, rice, flax and cotton with their planted
areas above 80 per cent Of last year, leave
small room to doubt but that the country is
not to fare badly in the harvest season.
Southern farmers will not make as big
cotton crops as they did last year, but they
will get far profitable prices for their
staple, and they will have a surplusage of
grain and meat which will make all the diff
ference in money on the right side of the
ledger and enable many to pay obligations
hanging over from the last season.
When all the handicaps and risks of the
agricultural sections during the year just
closed are borne in mind, the crop situation,
az whole, must be considered satisfactory to
every section of the nation, the corn belt,
the wheat belt and the cotton and tobacco
belts.

The Status of the League

THE impression one gets from readlnS
the condensed records of the Assem-
bly, of the League of Nations is that this
association of free peoples suffers from the
fact that America is not member. 1t Would
be revelation to many were they to READ
Mr. Balfours speech of 6 turday-a revela-
ton that the league exists for the preserva-
ton Of those very ideals which are dear to
the American republic and that its purposes
might be easily achieved if America were
member.
It was the bitter campaign Of 1920, the
struggle between Democrats and Republicans
and the animosity Of the antl-WllSon ele-
ments that confused Americans. Presl.
dent Harding's plea for an Association OIL
Nations and his calling of a conference on
armament limitation substantially show that
he wants what Mr.. Wilson wanted 1t shows
that the Republicans want the same things
Democrats want, and what, in final analysis
all the world wants-some plan to avert wars
of the future. This can only be obtained
through promoting concert of action among
nations, which the greatest statesmen OF the
time believe the league can do.
The League wants and needs delegated au-
thority. Authority is essential to any gov
eminent or, body Of men with big business to
transact. Nations will not long respect and
honor the League unless they know that the
other nations are banded together to uphold
it's DEGREES.

gained by actual achievement, and the
League, at best, is only in it's experimental
stages. Prestige may also be bestowed by
the common aim of the people.
President Wilson's now famous Article X
was designed to supply the League with a
modcum of power which he knew would be
necessary for it's effectiveness. It can succeed
now only when the balance Of control Of the
worlds armament rests in an independent
world body. Such a condition cannot be
brought about unless a great nation like
America, of almost limitless resources, makes
some definite contribution.
