Is it fact that every man has
his price? There are men of many
minds and prices of various

How many men and women,
boys and girls, as they live and
mingle with humanity have the
idea of service to others at heart?
If some people were as big
nuisances to themselves as they
are to others possibly they would

others as you would have others

The question has been debat-

WINBURN VOICES
HOPE FOR YEAR
Many Encouraging Features In
Outlook, Declares President
of Central Of Geoeia

Reviewing transportation coildi-
tions Of 1921, and discussing the out
look for 1922, President W. A. VIM
burn Of the Central Of Georgia rail-
way, has some very Interesting things
to say.
He points out that although con-
ditions last year were unsatisfactory,
such may be expected as the after
n1ath Of war, and do not indicate any
thing unsound or fundamentals
wrong with the South.
lie asserts that there are many
encouraging features in the outlook
for 1922, provided agriculture, CONS
lnevcc and industry adapt themseiycs
to the demands of the times.
In line with the Central Of Geor-
gia's well-known policy Of taking the
public into it's confidence, he teiist the
results of the past year in transpor-
tation, and the plans of railway naii-
agement for the coming year.
Although railways in the South
made less than two per cent upon
their property Investments, Id HE
face Of drastic economies, many rate
concessions were made TO shippers III

burn enumerates He calls attention

moval of the war tax on freight aud

Production on agricultural products.
and the abolishing of the surchargA
for passengers in sleeping and pafior
cars. Further reductions are pledged
as operating costs decrease.
Mr.. Winburn says that the first
steps toward relieving transportation
burdens have been taken, and pleads
for the cooperation Of other indus
tries in restoring prosperity
He says:
1T is upon the basis Of eo5opera~
ito nthat we must build during 1922.
Cooperation must be actual and not.
theoretical. Since agriculture is
basic industry, the obligation rests
upon the farmer to diversity, to plant
with an understanding that he can no
longer rely upon q single staple crop
to put his products in marketable
shape, to sell what he has and meet
such Of his debts as he can. In. this
endeavor the farmer must not be left
to fight it out alone. The merchant
must plant with an eye.to, quick turn
over and moderate profits; the bank
er must aid in selling program, and
labor must make concessions for the
common good With such a programs
yitalized by cooperation, results will
be certain"

Cattle raisers here have a number
of fine young steers and beef cattle

crop, cotton, which was only so per
cent of the 1920 cotton production.

acres and is comparable with 1913
600 acres in 1920.

sc1ibcd by the statistcian follows:
Corn, $37, c67, 900; winter wheat,
$2,536,O00; oats, $685. 900; rye,
$315,OO0; Irish potatoes, $2,846,00O;

CASE OF BAD JUDGMENT

An old farmer from over about
Stiles came to Oconto, and as he had
been wearing his suit of clothes so
long that everybody was tired of it.,
his wife shamed of him, he concluded
to surprise his neighbors and please
his wife by buying a new suit. Going
to a store ha bought a suit of clothes,
which he bundled into his wagon and
started hurriedly for his home. While
crossing the Leighton bridge, the old
man stood up in his wagon, took off
his old suit, and threw it into the
river.
Then he reached for his new clothes
but they were gone! They had jolted
from the wagon and as nightfall was
fast approaching the old fellow
couldn't turn back. The night was
cold and his teeth chartered as he
sneaked from the barn in his under
wear to the back door of the house,
where his good wife was more sur
prised to see him than he had antici-
