WHO COULD RESIST?

Mrs. Ethel Thomas, editor of the
Shuttle published in the cotton mill
town of LAGRANGE, Ga, has circulat-
ed unique blotter among the busi-
ness men of her territory presenting
this argument:
PUSH, PLUCK, PERSEVERANCE,
ENERGY, ENTHUSIASM, GRIT
GUMPTION!
When every spot is sizzling hot
And energy is lacking,
When "I-don't-care turks everywhere
And trade has lost is backing;
Why, then's the time true worth will
shine
In all it's lovely splendor-
Tis then true grit and ready wit
Will harvest legal tender.
The man who knows where money
goes
Is good at calculating
md every day invents way
To keep it circulating.
he III auVerClSe In space some size
He never thinks of stopping,
And people know just where to go
To do their daily shopping.
The man who whines and hits and
pines
And swears that trade is rotten
Would be more wise to advertise
And have his stuff all "boughten.'
The cheerful grin will anyways win;
The growler-all will shun him,
Except his creditors, of course,
Who once week will dun him.
Then do not melt; just hitch your belt
A little bit the tighter,

And show that you're a fighter.

For those who furnish filing
Twill weave for you 'solt or two
Of success-if you are willing.

HARRIS VS. HARDING

Senator w. j. Harris, of Georgia,
during a recent visit to Atlanta criti-
cized rather severely w. P. G. Hard
ing, governor of the Federal Reserve
Bank System. He said:
'He would have forced the price of
cotton down until it would have ruin
ed the Southern farmers. Goernor
Harding is a good man and he means
well, but he doesn't understand the
problems of the South"
Senator Harris said he disapproved
of some of the acts of the Federal
Reserve system, but he said the es-
tablishment Of the system had saved
the nation from bankruptcy after the
war.

LET'S MAKE TtR SOUTH "THE
LAND OF THE GRAPE MYRTLE"

LAND Of IaE GRAPE MYRTLE''
All over the South now, the bios
soming Grape mSrtles are adding to
the beauty of the homes that are for
tunate enough to have them. If you
have no Grape myrtles on your
grounds, why not decide now to get
some sprouts from a neighbor this
fall, or else order a few from some
nurseryman?
AS we have often said before, If
any other section of the United
States had virtual monopoly of a
tree as beautiful as the Grape myrtle,
and as easily grown, that section
would soon become famous as The
Land of the Grape MYRTLE" Why then
should not the South make use of it's
opportunities in this respect? The
Grape myrtle will not flourish in the
colder states north of us. 1t is one OF
Gods special gifts of beauty to the
South; and no other Towering shrub
or tree blooms for so long a period
has such variety of colors and tints
or requires less care.
If only one Grape myrtle sprout
were set out in every Southern farm
er's yard this fall, that action alone
would not only beautify each indi
vidual home but would also go fal
toward making the South "The Lane
of the Grape Myrtle" Is it not worth
doing?-The Progressive aFrmer.

HENRY FORD AT
MUSCLE SHOALS

Henry Ford, although born and
reared in the country moved to the
city of Detroit and began "tinkering
in the little shed behind his obscure
house on the outskirts of the city" as
Rose Widen Lane expressed it in a
sketch of Mr.. Ford.
The greatness of Ford is shown in
his proft-sharing scheme by which in
1914 he divided among the then
$4,000 employees the sum of $1O,-
100000, sharing profits with his
workmen, and now he proposes to
take over the great Muscle Shoals
plant to furnish fertilizers to farm
ers. Having furnished the farmers a
cheap tractor besides the low priced
automobiles Mr.. Ford goes further
and proposes to do what the govern
ment has been unable to do, turn the
enormous power that has been GO
ing to waste at Muscle Shoals into a
great manufacturing plant that will
benefit the whole South in many
ways. In using the nitrate plant to
supply fertilizers Mr.. Ford has sug-
gested that agricultural representa-
tives be placed upon the board of di-
rectors to see that his personal pro-
fit is limited to per cent.
Mr.. Ford is said to be very en-
thusiastic in regard to the possibili-
ties at Muscle Shoals. In a recent
statement he said:
"With the power possibilities de-
we should not soon have sufficient
industries at Muscle Shoals to make
city of 100000 people,
With the big nitrate plant in sue
cessful operation it is thought the
government would release the great
stores of nitrate now held back so
that nitrate for agricultural purposes
could be had at greatly reduced
prices.
The government has been in the
position of the man who was hunting
somebody TO help him let so the hot
end of proposition that he could not
manage. Ford steps in and offers
Uncle Sam five million dollars for the
plant.
Mr.. Ford proposes, also, to keep
this plant in such condition that in
the event of another war the govern
ment could take it over and at once
go to manufacturing nitrate for max
ing munitions for war.
A staff correspondent of the United
Press, refers to Henry Ford from an,
other angle. He says:
Ford is becoming increasingly
wealthy and increasingly powerful.
The late j. P. Morgan left fortune
estimated at $5O,OOO,OO0, yet Ford's
annual income now exceeds that Nor
gan fortune.

watch political straws for the pres
ent administration, have a new hot

litical possibilities in the jitney

WHEN COSSIPS TALK

Talk is cheap II you get it from q
gossip" says an exchange.
But 1t isn't.
Talk that comes from a gossip il
expensive.
1t kills time, it kills truthfullness, It
kills decency and it kills morality.
A reputation that has been built up
by lifetime of correc living may
be blasted in day by the talk of q
gossip.
The milk of human kindness is cur
died when it comes in contact with
the tongue of the gossip.
The gossip sees but little that is
good and much that is bad in human
nature.
And gossip will talk, and people
will listen, and believe, and condemn.
1t is not only expensive, but it is
demoralizing and degrading.
