On the Georgia Bill of Fare

- QUALIFY as vigorous and infinitely
more servceable than Jacks giant
burdened bean stalk is a Toombs
county Himalaya vine that has yielded forty
delicious quarts thus far and bids fair to total
sixty or more ere the season ends. Add this
to the list, we'll says the Savannah Morning
News, of Georgia berries THAT they may be
raised for home use, for canning and pre-
serving in a score of palatable ways, or grown
profitably for market as commercial crop
strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, buck
leberries, blueberries, gooseberries and dew
berries
The treasure roll might be multi
piled and then extended to pluns, damsons,
currants, cherries, peaches, pears and water
melons, of which Mark Twain observed that
this assuredly was not the forbidden" fruit
else Eve would never have repented Of eat
ing it. An Empire State in truth it is that
produces both mountain laurel and semitropic
palms, quail and oysters, chestnuts and pc
cans, wool and cotton, tobacco and Gala
bash4, and Himalaya berries that bear sixty
quarys vine.

Startling But True

r T might be thought a wandering echo
from Utopia, but in truth it is a
straightforward business statement
from the Georgia Normal and Industrial
College to its patrons, and thus it runs:
In addition to the five thousand dol
lars already refunded on Doard on May
18th, 1921, we now make another re-
fund of five thousand dollars.
Each student will be given at this
time a refund check for the sum Of
seven dollars. The bookkeeper's check
for this amount is herewith enclosed,
in each case where the student has paid
the board account for the full year.
Although no refund was promised,
yet by careful management, by good
collections, and the decline in food val
ues, especially since the first of Janu-
airy, the college officials are able to
make the two five-thousand- dollar re-
funds on board, thus making total
of ten thousand dollars refunded this
spring.
Marvelously refreshing it is, when nine
tenths of the world can merely ask for
money, to find an institution, and an edu-
cational institution at that, returning ten
dollars to those whom it has
served! Not by large appropriation
has the Georgia Normal and Industrial Col
lege been enabled to establish this remark
able record, but by dint of thoughtful
economy, by resourcefulness nothing short
Of genius. and by a constant wish to re,
duce the cost, while raising the quality, OF
higher edication. Well may the Common.
wealth congratulate President Parks and
his able co-workers.

OUR AIR MAIL.-By Frederic J. Haskin

postoffice department to start on their trips
under weather conditions that will endanger
their lives, but they sometimes meet with
bad weather conditions after starting. In
their eagerness to complete their trips and
test their flying skill under these difficulties,
they sometimes take great risks.
Difficulties Of keeping the mail moving in
spite of weather conditions are revealed in
the reported experience of one aviator flying
over the states of New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania, in his flight from New York to Belle
fonte, Pa.
81 flew at 1000 feet" he said, Catching
occasional glimpses Of the ground until
reaching the Delaware river, which I was
able to see through a hole in the fog. I
then dived down to the river and attempted
to fly downstream. This proved to be i'm
possible owing to the fact that the fog was
right on the water and there was no ceiling"
the fog.
After flying for some time, this pilot ex-
planned, he climbed through an upper strata
Of clouds, breaking through at 1000 feet.
When he saw black spot in the clouds, he
dived down again to within IS feet Of the Lee
high river. Thus he continued up through a
hole, endeavoring to learn where he was.
Engine trouble developed before he was
able to locate himself and he was obliged
to alight among some trees on the noun
tain side.
Another air mail pilot tells of crashing
into the mountain side near Jasper, New, dur
ing April while flying over the western end
of the trans-continental route. He encoun-
tered a violent blizzard, the snow being SO
dense that visibility at fifty yards was the
maximum. He cleared one lange of noun
tains when another mountain came suddenly
into view fifty yards ahead. He promptly
pulled his guiding levers to the limit, hop
ing against hope to clear the mountain, but
the crash was inevitable.
During the winter months another pilot
flying between Chicago and st. Louis through
sleet and snow storm, so cold, sore and
stiff when he reached Chicago, that he had
to be assisted out of his ship.
These incidents present rather wildly the
spirit of the men who are flying with the
mails. Uncle Sam may at least be certain
that he will not have to worry about airmen
-airmen who will deliver his mail on time
in the face of terrific weather odds-once he
decides to go into mail flying on a truly big
scale

OUIPS AND OUIDDITIES

Two lifelong residents of Indiana City
meet daily at the noon hour one going to
lunch and the other returning to work. Their
habits have become so regular that they usually
meet at the same place on consecutive days.
As neither hears we'll their brief form Of greet
ing has become Sterotyped, but the other day
something slipped, and this is what was over
heard:
"Mornn', Mr.. Jones-nice weather we're hav-
ing" said one, oblvious of the fact that it was
pouring rain.
"No Mrs. Smith amt doin' so we'll lately.
Reckon the weather amt the best in the world
nowadays" was the reply.
"Going to attend the revival meetings this
week, Mr. JoneS?" said the first.
EYES, come and see us one of these days."
was the parting answer.
A clergyman was preaching when an officer
in a territorial corps entered his church in the
middle of the sermon and spent some time
oSteHSibly in search of a seat, but really in
displaying his uniform for the admiration of
the ladies in the congregation.
His vanity, however, received a sudden check
when the minister, leaning over the pulpit,
Said
"Oh man, will yeesit down and we will see

Blast Is the South

COMPARISONS, though sometimes,
''odorous," as Dogberry would say
must be noted when they are so sig
nifcant and cheering to an entire region as
are the recent earnings of railways of the
South beside those of other systems. For
the entire country the net operating income
of the carriers in April aggregated twenty
nine million, two hundred and one Thousand
dollars or almost one and half million dol
lars less than in March, and more than fifty
one millions short of "the amount contem-
plated by the Transportation Act" The hg-
ures, it should be said, are those announced
through the Association Of Railway Execu-
tives. Unsatisfactory as were these returns,
those of the Southern roads represented
three and forty-one hundredths per cent as
against two per cent for Eastern ana TWO
and one-hundredth per cent for Western
roads.
When the downward business drift Incl
dent to war reactions set in, keen observers
predicted that the South would fare better
and recover earlier than perhaps any other
part of the country. For, they reasoned, she
had been less dependent on war industries,
less inflated by war profits, and altogether
more normal in her production and prosper
ity. Have not events borne out the fore
cast? Cotton, it is true, suffered market re-
verses as severe as those of any other COM
modify, if not severer, so that the districts
whose chief money crop it was grew, for a
while, exceedingly depressed. But so, too,
did the grain realms of the West and the in
iustrial centers of the East; and whereas
those regions were dependent, for the most
part, on one source of prosperity, the South
possessed many besides cotton.
The results are strikingly reflected in the
comparative railway returns. Well may the
South rejoice and be thankful in the dawn
Of better times now Frightening the common
country. She has stood the period of de-
preston stanchly, and her future shines rich
with promise.

Editorial Echoes.

The selection Of Brigadier General Charles
G. Dawes to be controller of the budget is
another proof (if another were needed) OF
President Harding's purpose to have the
budget system applied resolutely and ener-
getically.
General Dawes has shown vigor, direct
ness and contempt of bureaucratic red tape
in his cabinet with government business. He
is man to enforce respect for the law and
for restrictions on waste which had come to
be so generally disregarded under the last
administration. What is needed is watch

eye all the year round on the operations
of the department wasters.-New York Trib-
