EOrd's Creed On
 BOrrOWing Money

Tn the last issue of his weekly publication, Henry Ford, writing about borrowing, said:
 ''The time for a business man to borrow money, if ever, is when he does not need it If he really needs it, it is usually a sign that he needs something else first. The use of money in business is extreme ly limited. It cannot be the sub stitute of repairs and replacements. If a granary is losing out through rats, the cure is not to put in more grain but to stop the rat-holes. The business mans best loan is made of himself-his brains, interest, appli- cation. A business cannot be cured by money poultices from the bank, but by surgical operations within Loss is corrected. by building up the processes of gain-not by borrow ing. The cure of every business difficulty is within itseH. Inter nal difficulties must be met by in- ternal corrections, not by external borrowings.

NeIU Fish LalU For
 County Is EfectiUe

The new fish law passed by the recent legislature prohibiting the use Of seines and nets in any of the waters of Lee county, is now in force. This is a special act ap- plying only to Lee county and was passed because the market fisher men, or at least many of them, re- fused to obey the general law spec flying the size of meshes allowed and because some of them per sisted in catching and marketing game fish under the legal weights and measurements. Under the new law applicable to this county, the game and fish commission is pro- hibited from issuing license to net or seine in any lake or stream in the county. Parties caught using nets or seines subject themselves to prosecution.

SALEM COMMUNITY CLUB

The Community Club at Salem met in special session on the night of April 1, and adopted constitution and bylaws, appointed committees and had a short program. Talks were made by A. L. Jones, Prof. Southall, J. P. Dover and J. G. Reeves. A good number of people were out and every one seemed to enjoy the evening very much. Plans were discussed for the coming year and many valuable suggestions made as to how the club could be of bene- fit to it's members and the com munity in general.
 The schools winter term, which closed on March 25th, was the best the Salem school has had in many years. The interest shown by the patrons and the splendid efforts put forth by the teacher, MT. South all, could hardly be surpassed. The per cent of attendance and interest shown by the pupils was never bet ter. These children are not satis- fled with even this showing and are going to do even better another year.

ERROR DISCOVERED IN
 THE BOOK OF GENESIS

Baltimore, April 6.-The rainbow after the deluge, described in the Book of Genesis, ix, 13, was not rainbow, after all, but collection of great fly brushes of the ancient oriental code, declares Prof. Paul Haupt of John Hopkins University. made yesterday by Dr. Haupt at Boucher College at a session of the American Oriental Society, which is holding it's 133rd annual conclave here.
 The mistake in Genesis, said Professor Haupt, probably is due to a misunderstanding of char acter on one of the old euneiform tablets. The words for "bow" could very easily be mistaken for "fly brush" he said. These huge feath- CT brushes were in vogue among the old rulers in Assyria and Egypt, and were regarded as ancient sym bols of sovereignty in the Orient.
 According to Dr. Haupt, the ancients naturally gave their gods credit for having fly brushes, and, in fact, in line 164 of the flood tab let the words "fly brush" appears as big as life. The passage says that "when Ishtar sees the gods gather around the offerer like a swarm of flies (because there had been no offering during the flood) she is so incensed that she takes the great fly brushes of her father, Anu (king of the gods), to drive away the gods.

Potato GrOGUeTS 70
 Form, Organization
AMI TLE nth

Through the efforts of the coun- ty agricultural agent and few of the local potato growers 8 meeting was held at the Commercial Club several days ago to discuss the marketing and housing of sweet potatoes. There were fifteen pota to growers present. The principal talk of the afternoon was made by Mr. Laney of the U. s. Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Markets. Mr. Laney has been working with potato organizations for several years and was able to give some valuable information gained by prac- tical experience.
 The parties present formed 8 temporary organization by eleeting E. J. Reazley president and Ira Petty, secretary and treasures. It is the plan to canvass the country around Marianna and get as many acres planted to sweet potatoes as possible. It is not the idea that any one man plant over q few acres unless he has already had cop7 siderable experience in this sort of farming. From one to five acres should be the limit. After the po- tato planting season is over then 1t will be comparatively easy matter to construct a warehouse with a capacity to care for the crop. The success of potato production depends to a large measure on the ability to keep the potatoes from digging time until the following late win ter and early spring when they are always in demand at good price. The sweet potato industry is just in it's infancy and there is a good field here for the Southern farmer to develop a wonderful side-line to his cotton farming. There are thou sands and thousands of people in the Northwest who are clsmoring for Arkansas grown Nancy Hall sweet potatoes today and there ls not a potato to meet this demand Do not get the impression that be- cause money is scarce the farmers cannot finance the building of a 20,000-bushel warehouse in Mari anna. They can. This part of the organization work has been careful ly considered and we are sure that it can be- manager without single man putting up a dollar. If you are interested, you had better see Ira Petty, E. J. Beazley or E. B.. Whitaker.
