Paradoxes Are About.
From the Minneapolis Journal.

Better Farming has been collecting some
post war paradoXes. The dictionary says a
| paradox is statement contrary to common
| sense but nevertheless true IN TACT. Maine
maticians says that PARALLEL lines meet lnhn-
| ity. The everyday man says SHOW me, but
| that cannot be done 1t is a paradox. So Bet
ter Farming collects these three business
Iparadoxes, and wonders over them.
First business is bad and money is scarce.
But the United States government has two
and quarter billions of dollars in gold, near
w as much as there is in the entire outside
world. Bank deposits are at flood tide and
the federal reserve is thirteen per cent above
the minimum.
1t is a paradox.
Then there are two million, some say three
Million men out of work. On the other hand
there are a million families i'll need OF homes
They are waiting to be built. Scores OF great
public improvements, roads, railroad terml-
nails and so on are planned, waiting Dut
ready to go forward. There's money enough;
in many cases the bonds are sold. They are
waiting for men willing to work
1t is a paradox.
Third, the year 1920 was the greatest year
in agricultural production we have seen;
Enough is still left from the harvest to iced
all Christendonl, perhaps all heathendom as
hemisphere, is on half rations and millions
in heathendom are starving. Yet the farmers
in America who produced the food wool,
cotton meat and leather cannot get pre-war
prices for it.
1t is paradox.
Several explanations of these paradoxes are,
of course possible But they may be summed
sale murder and destruction are costly They
affect the minds and hearts of humanity even
worse than they affect the pocketbooks and
consCiences.

A State Budget.

\ A definite fiscal policy is a state need that
ought to be apparent to everybody. A budget
system wisely thought out and properly con-
trolled and applied would make it possible
for the state government to employ business
principals The government OF Georgia is a
big business, yet it has been conducted with
out the application of the simplest business
principles such as are practced in the we'll
ordered home, in the sensibly managed COM
mercia1 establishment and in the properly ad-
ministered county or municipality. Neglect OF
the cardinal principles of business economy,
the cutting of unnecessary costs and Obtain
ing the greatest amount OF service for the
dollar spent may bring deficits to any estab-
| lishment that operates on narrow margin
Since the state has no margin OF profit 1t can
be seen that the slightest extravaganza will
result in a loss.
individuals appreciate what it means for a
person or family to live beyond available
means The practice is folly that leads to
ruin For one to spend money that one does
not have means debt The rule is directly APP
plicable to government. Departmental def
ciencies are departmental debts, and the gov
eminent of Georgia always has them. The
legislature appropriates definite amounts OF
money for the departments, based on esti-
mates made. The amounts are not enough
to pay the bills of expense contracted The
result is a deficit which the legislature must
make up by an additional appropriation.
The individual who is without any resources
but his own, who cannot spend money that
he does not earn, who is unable to borrow
or obtain credit is forced by circumstances
to live within his means. Many persons OF
wealth. practcing economy for economy's
sake, hold themselves rigidly to the observ
ance of budget systems and carefully planned
schedules are found to provide sufficient needs,
even uxuries They apply the budget prin-
cple as far as possible to business and build
up fortunes. The successful man is not
waster He believes in the idea that "a dol
lar saved is a dollar earned"
1t is time for the state to earn dollars for
the people by saving them. There is no doubt
that it is possible to eliminate a great part
of the states expenditure in many directions.
American citizens are credited with being
keen business men. Utilize this keenness in
the administration of public affairs. Get
dollars worth of service for every dollar
spent.

The Sunrise Hour.

To those who are accustomed to rising be-
lore or with the sun the early morning hour
is the finest time OF the day. The first hour
of the day has an exquisite quality that no
other hour in the day owns. 1t is then that the
new day is received fresh from the creator,
clean, keen-cut and sparkling as a precious
jewel. The early morning hour has a still
ness a freshness, a sweetness and fragrance
that is all its own. To know what beauty is one
must be up before sunrise and witness the
slow and stately approach OF the day, the
gradual gathering OF the forces of the light,
the wonderful shifting of colors on the east
ern horizon, and at last the splendid sun it
SELF as it energies above the horizons edge.
The light effects to be observed between
dawn and sunrise are as indeSCribable as they
are lovely. To know what sweetness is one
must breathe the cool and fragrant morning
air, cleansed by the alchemy of the night and
moist with the dew of heaven. 1t is in the
morning air, even before the sun has risen,
that the bird chorus chants its maths, and
it is then that bird songs are fullest and
loveliest. At no time do birds sing so earnest
y and joyously as in the early morning. We
do not all react to the sights and sounds OF
nature alike, but even the least sensitive per-
son should be able to draw inspirations for
his labor from the brightness and beauty OF
the morning hour. 1t is to be feared. how
ever, that the number so inspired is some
what limited, for the reason that so many
of us choose to sleep through this golden
period OF the day and never sense its fra
GRANGE For the most part only those com
PEELED by the necessities of their labor are
astr at sunrise. The delight OF an addtiona
hour of slumber however. is in no way ade
quate compensation for missing the wonder
and the mystery of the sunrise hour. Sleer
is the cultivation of that which is physical
but beauty ministers to- refreshes and inspires
that which is spiritual. To cultivate tht
spiritual is to gain from life its highest JOY
and supremest reward. The daylight hour:
have their beauty and the evening its peace
but no moment of the day has the uplifting
quality of the sunrise hour.

Ignorance of University Graduates.
From the Savannah Press.

A Tribune reporter submitted to twenty
FIVE students of the University OF Chicago
sixteen men and nine women, picked at ram
dom-the questions Thomas A. Edison says
collegians should be able to answer.
On the first question, where do we get
sheac from" eleven were wrong, seven did
not know and seven were right
On What is a monsoon" only four were
right. The first six students asked "Where do
prunes come from?" did not realize that they
are dried plums
No one answered correctly "Where do we
get domestic sardines?" Two students
thought cork was imported from Ireland All
students who came from the country knew
what axe handles are made of, but those from
the city answered all the way from cherry
wood to chestnut.
Only one student knew who wrote Home,
Sweet Home" but everyone knew and could
tell the history of Cleopatra No one knew
the voltage used in street car, what states
produced phosphate or where a condor is
found One girl said cast iron was called pig
because its unrehned."
Only one knew the name OF the inventor
Iof logarithms, while only three knew who
Francis Marion was. Everybody failed on the
bounding OF West Virginia.
The average answered correctly by the
men of the university was about IS per cent
while the women answered only about rs
per cent correctly.

Time to Change the Subject.

The impartial observer OF the turore when
has encompassed the state the past two weeks
IS forced to the conclusion that this is the silly
season in Georgia. There is no doubt that the
governor pulled a bone" when he published
his pamphlet alleging bad treatment OF the ne
gro and creating the impression away from
home that the state is hot bed OF peonage
and oppression On that the people are about
as unanimous as they ever are on any one
thing. At the same time the talk OF institute
ing impeachment proceedings against him IS
as much out of place as anything he has done
or said, and can serve no good purpose. While
the governor has done a great deal more
harm than good, not only to Georgia
but to the ones he sought to help, he was no
doubt actuated by sincere motives, and no
one can be benefited by further agitation OF
the matter. The thing to do is for everybody
to stop writing letters and newspaper cards,
for ministers to quit preaching about it and
expound the gospel. Forget about it as an I'M
fortunate and unpleasant incident growing
out of sweeping and shadowy charges, the au-
thority for which has been kept from the
public If there are any who are guilty let
the proof be submitted that they may be
brought to justice.

The Potato Bug.

Thrifty persons who have ndustriously
tried to raise potatoes only to ind that they
must wage war for their possession with the
hateful little black and yellow pests will be
glad to know that this bug has found an
enemy which literally eats him alive. Mans
new ally in this war upon the potato bug, says
the Potato Magazine, is tiny parasitic Hy

pest, on whose mandolin back the grubs are
matched and left to their devices Tor susie
nance. The grubs breakfast lunch, dine and
snack between meals off the succulent por-
tons of the potato bugs interior anatomy
The potato bug has survived his name,
'leptinotarsa decemlineata," but he cannot re-
cover from being eaten alive, and thus sue

until the June harvest are in sight for all

m1ttee, in addition to $l,000,000 contributed
by the Red Cross and 100000 contributed
by the churches through their missionaries.

walton is "a great achievement 1t is hardly
probable, now that the goal is so nearly
reached, that the remaining 100000 will fail

purpose is bread cast upon the waters: after

Business Sitting Up.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.


Business men OF every kind and character
show more signs of irritability and i'll temper
than at any time in years. That's fine: Don't
take it as a personal affront if manufacturer
or middleman is peevish and faultfnding. It's
a good sign.
Did you ever notice that when a person IS
seriously i'll he wants sympathy, and not
little coddling? He sorrows for himself and
wants you to sorrow with him, When he's
that way he is in a very low state OF mind
and body. But when the crisis is past when
his heart is stronger and his blood. is be-
ginning to be pumped through his veins with
more force he undergoes change. He gets
nervous querulous and hard to please, He
complains about everything and is what the
ladies call "as cross as an old bear" That's
a sure sign of convaescence. That's when
the nurse knows the patient is on the road
to recovery.
It's that way with business today. The
business man is reacting to natural causes.
He is on the mend and, being on the mend,
is showing he possesses a temper. That you
can take as proof that business is starting
back to health and strength

Public Weary Of Drives.
From the Thomasville Times-Enterprise

From the Townsville Times Enterprise.
During the war there were a large num-
Der of drives Tor various worthy purposes
and they were Unfortunately successful. They
were based on the ability of people to pay
and of the justice OF an assessment against
any and all communities based on certain
banking facilities. 1t was as equable and fair
a method as could be arrived at
The war drives are all over, but since that
time there have been hundreds OF drives
put across in all sections of the country, bas-
ed on the same lines and for such purposes
as seemed worthy and commendabe. Yet
not one Of the post drives has been as
successful as those during the conduct Of
the war.
There will be hundreds who want to give
to some cause and hundreds who do not
II the quota is raised the proportonate
from those who do give must be larger in
order to attain the goal. This is one Of the
reasons they have failed They will continue
to fai because there are not enough people
OF one mind when it comes to giving money
repeatedly and continually and monotonous-
ly to even every good thing that comes
along and wants money.
We are not disparaging any cause or dis
couraging any giving. We merely hope that
the time will come when other than the dI
rect method of drives for giving will be
adopted for many OF the causes that are now
claiming public attention and interest.
