HALF YOUR LIVING
WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut
In Halt BY Food And Grain
Making And Saving

Atlanta, Georgia. Special -" High
prices for cotton, such as we had q
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 paralyzed in a business way That
they will not be able to take the
usual quantities and pay high prices
for many years to come" said II. q.
Hastings, President of the great
Southeastern Fair.
This situation which we cannot
control, calls for lower costs OF max
ing cotton as we'll as reduction IN cot
ton acreage. The quickest, safest
and most effective way to Eeduce cot
ton making cost is to produce on ones
own acres every pound of food, grain
snd forage needed for family, tenants
and laborers and live stock.
1.-The situation requires chickens,
hogs, milk cows and acres OF corn,
oats. wheat, forage and miscellane-
GUS crops from which to feed them.
Last, but not least, in Importance, Is
the home vegetable garden which is
the quickest and cheapest source or
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
1--WE have been told repeatedly by
those who plan and prepare for real
garden, plant it, tend 1t and keep 1t
replanted through the season, that It
furnishes half the family living at no
money cost except the small amount
spent for the seeds needed.
THE garden is, or rather should be,
the earliest planted. 1t brings food
the quickest 1t starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
Is ready to use. A little later, half
or more needed for the table comes
out of the garden.
III rightly tended and replanted It
supplies food all summer and fall, the
surplus above daily needs goes into
cans or is dried for winter use. Yes,
the right kind of garden is q life
saver, and we all need life-saver OF
this kind in 1921"

find some one else worse off. You
may not be able to helf him finan-
cially, but take little time and see
if you. cannot help him by good adj
vice and honest, sincere sympathy.
If you find fellow-being strug-
Cling on his back, put out your aand
and give him lift. 1t will cost
you little and may be the making
of him.
Remember how President Lincoln,
amid the cares and worries which
were pressing upon him with almost
overwhelming force, stopped lonS
enough to assist bug to it's feet
again. Go out OF your way the
next time you see a person who has
fallen, and raise him to his feet.
Give him a chance in the race of
life, once more, and see if you do
not feel hopper than if you ever have
been before, because of your act.

GIVE HIM A CHANCE

The story is told of President Lin
coin who, while walking one day in
the park with a friend, turned back
for some distance to assist a bette
which had cotton upon its back, and
lay upon the walk with it's legs
SPRAYING and kicking, vainly try
ing to turn itself over. The Presi-
dent rghted it, and the beetle sour
ried off into the shrubbery. The
friend expressed surprise that the
President, burdened as he was at that
time with the cares of the Civil War,
should find time to spar to assist a
bug.
There is many a human bug strug-
Cling on ais back today who only need
to be turned over on his feet again to
make good, though we are taught to
believe that "all men are born equap
there. are thousands in this world who
have not an equal chance with their
fellow men to lead clean and honora-
BILE life. They inherit inequality and
their bringing up only heightens it.
From their birth their training is
neglected, their surrounding prevent
them taking advantage of opportuni-
ties that are embraced by others more
fortunate, and they curse society in
stead Of praising it.
The boy born to poverty and rags
Iof parentage with no ambition, al
lowed to grow up without word
of council or encouragement, has not
an equal chance with those brought
into this world under more fortunate
conditions, and should not be judged
by the same standard.
No father or mother, no matter
how high their social position or am
pie their wealth, has right to bring
up a family af children unframed in
the practical things Of life.
Riches have wings" and poverty
least expected.
The child thus brought up has not
ian equal chance vita those who adj
lversity has taught the lesson Of en-
ergy and industry

In the announcement column OF
the Eagle this week will be seen the
announcement of Mr. f. G. H. Tank
ersley, better known as "GoodloW
Tankersley," as a candidate for the
mayorship of Oxford.
Mr.. Tankersley is in. his Goth year
and is a lifelong resident of Lafay-
cite county. He is a man OF broad
visions and understands the needs OF
economy in municipal as we'll as pri-
vate affairs. He aspires to the mayor
ship, promising an economical admin
istration of the affairs of the city, so
far as his ability will allow.
The election will be he'd on Friday,
Jan. 81, and he will appreciate your
vote end support.

He follows this up little later by

These successes only whet his appe-
tite for greater successes, and from
year to year he plans and schemes to
annex the money of other men.
To all rules there are exceptions,
and there may be few to this, but
the description is fairly applicable to
the majority of mankind.
Now don't become peeved, dear
reader, and charge us with preaching,
for we are all in the same sinful old
boat together, and if anybody has to
jump overheard to save the craft from
sinking we are unanimously in favor
Of Getting George do it,
Away back in the dim past some
of us have read the Golden Rule --but
we couldn't repeat it now, and most
of us have even forgotten what it
says.
The preacher tells us some whole
sometruths in his sermon, but the
Sunday diaenr tastes so good when
we get home from church it simply
banishes the ministerial teachings
from our minds---if they have endured
that long.
And why?
Ask some wise man---we don't
know.
It's simply in our blood, as it is in
yours, and we are not responsible for
the blood that flows in our veins.
Yes, we admit that the Lord gave us
power of will in order That we might
resist those evil tendencies, but gem
orally they only appear evil when we
see them in the other fellow.
But perhaps we've said enough
even mouthful.
We've just been doing little think
ing, as editors sometimes do, and our
thoughts rambled off into this queer
groove, as we pass them along to you
as you pay us to do.

EVERYBODY'S GOAT.

Why not give the farmer square
deal?
If he is to receive greatly reduced
prices for AIS crops, then the labor
he employs and the things he buys to
produce these crops, should be reduced
in proportion. So should everything
else that he uses.
At the present time there is mork-
ed tendency in This country to 'let
George do the reducing"
Everybody wants prices reduced in
every line but his own, with the result
that manufacturers, wholesalers, dis
tributors and dealers throughout the
bushes world are straining them
selves in an effort to keep prices up
in order that they might revel little
longer il the golden watersof excess
sive profits.
Every human being depends upon
the farmer for the food that sustains
life, and every hand is leyeled at him
in an effort to beat him down in his
prices.
A great wave of protest against
food prices has swept this country
from one end to the other, and yet
this avalanche of criticism which has
engulfed the man who feeds as has
been voiced principally by men who
have been reaping even greater prof
its than the farmer.
We are not the champion of the man
of the soil, any more than we are of
any other man OF woman in this COM
munity, of this country.
We are just as averse to paying ex-
cessive prices for the food that we
eat as any other person possibly can
be, because we have to dog deeply and
cough up nightly to meet the strain.
But we are an advocate of the
square deal in business.
That the farmer is not getting.
He is everybody's goat.
We do not believe the high prices
in this community are due to excessive
profits on the uart of our local deal
ers. Their regulations for fair deal
ing are too well known for that But
there are too many hands through
which the goods pass before they
reach this town, and every hand grabs
off its pound of flesh"
