 He was taken away from them and placed in the charge of the Alabama Children's society until & suitable home can be found for him. Although he receives only the kindest of care from the members of this society, his confidence in humanity is not yet fully restored.
 Everyone who has no baby will want Raymond, and some one Is going to have the pure pleasure of brir ging an expression of restored trust to his pretty face.

FiUe Young Americans Are Anxious to Get Homes With People
 Who Will Loue
 Them
By JOSEPHINE NIXON HENLEY

There are many empty hearts and arms and lovely homes, yet those hearts may be filled with happiness, these arms may enfold little precious forms and through the silent rooms may resound the music of happy childish voices.
 The Alabama Children's Aid so- ciety of which Mir. Ralph Barron is superintendent, is seeking fathers and mothers for homeless children in the childless homes of the state.
 Here are five tiny boys who are in need of homes and loving care and whose little soft, clinging baby hands will be found So filled with gifts of affection and appreciation that they will amply repay all care bestowed upon them.
 These little fellows are not simply objects of charity. but are real treasures.
 They form an unusually attrao- tive and intelligent group of babies, and they need homes among kind people who can train them for liv- ing good and noble lives and direct their feet along pleasant paths.
 They have not lived long enough in this interesting world to have had e long varied list of experiences, yet over each little life already droops the cloud of a sad or tragic story, which can only be dispersed by the sunshine of love in a real home.
 At the upper left corner Is Walter, { months old, fine little fellow, with hazel eyes which already dis play the intelligence which accom- panies their color.
 At the right, Harry, also months old. He has large appealing

Who Pays The Freight

Passenger fares on the railroads are higher right
now-the highest they have been since we had rail
roads in this countryand freight rates are also at
the high mark. 1t has to be matter of great i'm
portance before an ordinary man thinks he can af-
ford to take trip the railroad.
But all over the land we see heavy freight trains
go up and down the tracks with the cars loaded to
their capacity hauling freight for somebody The
railroads are going. to collect freight charges of
somebody for every car Of this or they would never
move it mile
Did you stop to think what is in those cars,
and just why they are moving night and day. in
long trains in every direction? Did you ever stop
to think out of whose purse the money must come to
pay all these freight charges?
Let's take single item and consider it for a
moment. Nearly everybody who has been near
freight station in this section will admit that hay is
one of these items. A great many big truck loads
were hauled through the streets of Marietta last
week, and it western hay, too, coming from
Nebraska perhaps The freight on single car is
more than hundred dollars, and the brokers and
middlemen must have gotten another hundred out
of the AID to this the price the Nebraska farm
got for the hay in his own market, and you have
the price Cobb county folks are now paying for
hay.
Now hay is just grass-good cultivated grass
rand it grows in Cobb county without the least inter
: ference of the boil wsevil
The Journal does not propose to answer its own
question. IL the is not in the above re-
Elections This much is clear however:
The Nebraska farmer gets pay for the hay, the
middleman gets his hundred dollars commission tn,
railroad gets it's hundred dollars freight and thu
Georgia farmer gets in debt.

GRADY'S VISION OF AN
IDEAL FARM SITUATION

when every farmer in the South
shall eat bread from his own fleid
and meat from his own pasture and
disturbed by no creditor, and enslav-
ed by no debt, shall amid his team
ing gardens, and orchards, and vine
yards, and diaries and barn yards,
pitching his crops in his own wisdom
and growing them in independence,
making cotton his clean surplus, and
selling it in his own time, and in his
chosen market, and not at masters
bidding-getting his pay in cash and
not in a receipted mortgage that dis
charges his debt, but does not restore
his freedom-then shall be the break
ing of the fullness of our day. ?
Henry w. Grady.
Every farmer in Cobb County
should place this over his dining room
door, where he can SEE it, three
times day.
Assuming that there are three
thousand farmers in Cobb County
there are more-and that each one
would increase his crop production
as follows, we would have:
5000 farmers 10 bushels of corn
each, at 50c-$15,000.
5000 farmers 2 hogs, 800 lbs. each,
at 8c-$72,000.
5000 farmers tons of hay each,
at $10-$60,000.
5000 farmers SO bushels of pota-
toes each, at 50c-$75, 900.
5000 farmers / calf each, at So
$4,000.
5000 farmers 10 hens each, at
l50c-$15,000.
5000 farmers 10 dozen eggs each,
/ at 25c-$7,500.
Total $268,500.
If each of the farmers of the coun-
ty uses two tons of fertilizers he can
save at least ten dollars on the ton
if he will buy the raw materials and
mix them at home. This will mean a
saving of sixty thousand dollars to
the county, or a total Of $328,5O0 to
add to our bank account.

Farm Loan Is Legal

The United States Supreme Court holds that the
farm loan act is legal By this decision it is held
that banks cas- invest their money in bonds issued
by farm loan banks Millions of dollars borrowed
by growers throughout the country was held up
pending the action of the Supreme Court Congress
had prepared to take the bull by the HORNS " and
authorize the United States Treasury to purchase
$2OO0OO,0O0 worth of farm loan bonds. This Su
preme Court decision removes all question of the
validity of the farm loan banks going ahead with
the sale of their bonds the market

Superintendent Salary.

One of the best things the last grand jury re-
commended was increase in the salary of the sup
erintendent of county schools The men of the grand
jury thought the present salary inadequate and it
does not take second glance to that salary of
1920 is pittance for supervising the work of the
schools of county the size of Cobb
We believe the grand jury spoke the sentiment
of the people when they said the salary in their opi
ion was inadequate. The people of the county are
willing to pay reasonable compensation for proper
instruction and development of their children
For sake OF comparison let us take the salary of
some Of thetother county officials and see if the
school superintendent is underpad The county
farm agent gets $4,000 to teach the boys and
girls how to raise pigs cattle and to do good farm
ing the health commissioner gets $4,000 for the good
work he is doing. The county health nurse gets
$500 year three hundred dollars more than the
school superintendent. According to our opinion
none Of the above mentioned officials are a cent over
