TO ORGANIZE MELON GROWERS

Parish, president of the South West Georgia mel
on Growers Association has arranged for meet
ing of the Ben Hill melon growers here Wednes
day to present his plans for successful marketing
water melons. The meeting will be held at the
Chamber of Commerce and the prospective grow
ers are invited to meet with him. The importance
nf an organization of this sort became noticeable
last season, when the associated counties in the
Southwest sold their melons at top prices, and the
growers i'll the unorganzed counties had Difficult
ties in marketing their product at any price.
Cooperative marketing has proven to be the
salvation of the farmers as collective bargaining
las been the recognized advantage in industrial
associations. The only fellows who are fighting
this new method OF helping the farmer are those
who have been farming farmers" for their own
selfish gains,

DOING 1T DIFFERENT IN THOMAS coUN

TY-Its not generally known, in fact we didn't
know it until last Saturday night, that the erst
while special delinquent tax collector, Mr.. Buchan
an, OF Waycross, engaged by county commits
sioners to ferret out tax dodgers and collect past
due taxes, had collected several thousand dollars
ut them in his jeans and departed for parts I'm
inown, SO far as information goes. Over in
Thomas County, the commissioners have engaged
special tax investigator, WHO will ferret out the
dclinquents and furnish the data to the local bond
ed tax receiver whose duty it will be to put the dis
covered taxable properties on the digest to be col
lected in the regular way by the regular bonded
tax collector. Thomas County probably heard OF
our experience and is profting by it.

SOMETHING FARMERS SHOULD READ

The farmer being business man seller Of
goods-he ought to advertise just all other Sue
cessfu business men advertise, He. too. will be
successful in that little business matter Of win
ming bank accounts when he advertises literally
and integently.
But the first class way to find out hat "advertis-
ing doesn't pay" is to advertise unintelligently
One of our Justly noted farm magazines prints
two advertisements that illustrate this point very
clearly indeed.

NO NEED FOR ANY TARIFF Law


entity the Republican parry is going to take hold
this winter and make another attempt to tinker
the tariff. Their first effort the Fordney tariff BILL
which passed the house, aroused such an emphatic
protest that it was quickly dropped like hot po-
tato. Now it remains to be seen whether it can
DO any better
The Congressman should make but few changes
to the tariff at this time. Every time they lack
up rate on account of the supposed necessity of
protecting some home industry, they shut off i'm
sorts. And every time they shut off imports, they
make it possible for foreign countries to buy cor
responding amounts OF goods in this country They
IAN pay for the goods they buy of us. only by sell
'ng us something else, as they have no gold to
pay with.
thus every dollar of business that they give our
producers by removing the competition of foreign
products, they take away another dollar from an
other set of American producers by killing their
export trade
Thus they pass the dollars from one pocket to
another without gaining anything And mean
while the consumer loses because the shutting off
of foreign competition will raise the price on the
Tome made article.
furthermore the American valuation plan, which
still is part OF the proposed legislation will make
il practically impossible to import any considerable
amount of goods having similarity to any Amer
lean product. 1t is not safe to secure American pro-
1ueers thus from all competition. 1t will be ordi-
nary human nature to take advantage of the shelf
er thus given and profiteer. If Congress passes
any general law revising tariff duties upward, il
will wish it hadn't when the next election returns
come in.

LIVELY LONDON LAUGHS.

As English speaking people, we all can read and understand newspapers and magazines published in London. Of course, Londoners who peruse their newspapers at the House of Parliament. on London Bridge, or near Lord Nelson Monument on Trafalgar Square, enjoy the English humor. But, American audiences who see London laughs in Topics of the Day. Films also find them good entertainment.
 Perhaps some of our readers think that British jokes may lack some of the kick found in the Yankee brand of Imminent. We feel sure that the humor quoted below smacks of old Bond Street flavor:

Camera Can Photograph Thought, Assert Actors

Can the motion picture camera photograph thought? It can, ana does That is accepting the world Of two eminent authorities on screen acting for it-Sam DeGrasse and Ed win Stevens. Both of these notables in the picturized drama declare thai the thinking actor registers his thoughts upon the screen
 DeGrasse and Stevens, now mem bers of the hand-picked cast pictur- izing ''Slippy McGee," the second feature of Oliver Morosco Produc- tions, Inc. for Associated First Ma tional release, have proved their theory in scores of pictures. It has been a part of their remarkable sue cess and they assert that thought power is becoming generally recog- nized throughout the profession.
 Motion picture action and acting are not synonymous" said DeGrasse- Action is carried on physically, act ing by mental processes. We can hold interest on the screen as long as we are in the center of the picture carrying on action. But what hap pens when we step back and some other member of the cast moves to the fore? If we do not use thought concentration we absolutely fade out of the picture. les a fact. If you don't believe it just judge for your ing, keep in the part rather than theatre.
 But if we keep our miaIs work ingf. keep in the part rather than being a spectator, the camera will hold us in. The face tells the story whether the actor is thinking of merely in the scene in physical pres ence only."
 Stevens gives hearty confirmation to the DeGrasse theory. He even goes further: You can't fool the camera; it photographs the brain.' g says Stevens who has brought such a wealth of stage experience to the screen. Motion picture acting is undergoing a marked change. The acter mentally you are Just atmos- phere' on the screen. The harder you play fnwardly the more you get over' That is why there is more de- mand today for real acting than ever before. I said before that ou cant fool the camera. I might add that you cant fool the public either-''
