JUST A MOMENT
DAILY STRENGTH AND
CHEER.
Compiled by John G. Quinius,
(The Sunshine Man,

So many gods, so many creeds,
So many ways that wind and wind;
While just the art Of being kind
Is all this sad world needs.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
You will find. as you look back
upon your life, that the moments
that stand out-the moments when
you have really lived-are the mo-
ments when you have done things
In a spirit of love. As memory
scans the past, above and beyond all
the transitory pleasures of life there
leap forward, those supreme hours
when you have been enabled TO do
lnnoticed hndnesses to toase round
about you, things too trifiing to speak
about, but which you feel have en-
tered into your eternal life.
Henry Drummond.

"I'n be at the station-by the

what l shall do" she whispered,
and followed Billy.
She was grateful beyond word to
Billy Barton for his understanding
silence as they drove toward her
home. She must think. think! An
orphan and alone. Molly's life was
her own TO live. Being a normal
girl she was spirited and responsive
to romantic appeal, and Don's pro-
posal was a challenge TO her cour-
age.
Before she knew it, she was tell
ing this friend at her side what had
happened.
"And I'm to give Don his answer,
either way, at the station before
the midnight express"
A wild scream broke from her
lips as the little car went mad and
plunged with a lightning swerve in
to a fence by the roadside.

The Need Of the Hour.
From the Commerce News.

1t may take some time to work out sys-
tenn by which the farmer can find ready
cash market for any product grown on the
farm, but the longer the establishment OF such
market the longer all OF us will suffer Tor
the need of it. We never opposed the Cot
ton Growers COOPERATIVE Association. On
the other hand we never advocated 1t, tor
there were many phases of it with which we
were not familiar We did not want to give
endorsement to a scheme unless we were sure
that it was safe and sound. We thought then
and vet believe that we need an organized
plan to sell other products for ready cash
much worse than we need organization to
sell cotton for it is a we'll known TACT that
cotton can be sold any day in the year and
this cannot be said of many other farm prod
ucts. For chickens and eggs and butter the
producer knows that he can go to his local
market any day in the year and sell these
products at some price for cash. Not so with
many other products of the farm. Discussing
the importance of such a market the Savan-
nah Morning News says:
johnson county has a new company,
private concern, which guarantees to
afford good cash market at all times to
those who have for sale hogs cows,
chickens, eggs peas, peanuts velvet
beans, cotton, cotton seed, corn, oats and
wheat That's foundation for the future
hopes Of the Johnson county farmers III
their Investigation plans for the coming
wear. They are assured that there Will be
d place nearby where they can realize the
market price in cash for their stuff
The Lavonia Times copied the comment OF
the Savannah paper and added the following:
THAT is the thing that will have to
come to all Georgia. We need more and
better markets for all farm products"
All are agreed that such market should
be established, at every local trading point,
such for instance as Commerce and Lavon1a.
Then the question arises upon whose shout
ders does the responsibility depend? Certain
" not on the farmer If not the farmer, then
it must be the business OF leading business
men of the town where the farmer does bus
mess If business men try to establish
such market and fail they are blameess. If
they make no sort of effort then they are
chargeable to neglect of duty and opportuni-
ty. They owe it first of all to the farmers to
do all that can be done to establish cash
market, if possible, for all farm products.
Then, in self defense, they owe it to them
selves Now when the farmer owes the merr-
chant and cannot meet his obligations it
would inure to the benefit of all, the farmer
and the merchant, to have a ready cash
market for all products. Such plan would
assist the farmer in meeting his obligations
and put new life and hope into the now de-
spondent business man.

immensely of Space.
From the New York World.

The Lowell observatory, Harvard has ex
tended the observed portion of the heavens
ia a new cluster of fainter farther stars
which indicate that the known universe has
diameter of at least 2,100,000,0 600, 000 100000
miles.
No comparison, analysis or resolution
of the figures can aid in comprehension. 1t
helps not at all to say that the distance is
81 600 000 100000 times the circumference of
the earth or that it is 200O,000000 times the
distance-itself inconceivably yast-from us
to our sun. The pace Of light is the earthly
maximum of speed, yet from one end to the
other of this stellar system light spends
$4,000 years in travelling.
A passage written more than 20 years ago
by De Quincy dealing with a revealed uni
verse almost small and coy as compared
with the Harvard discoveries is quoted on
this page. The watchers OF the skies still
probe into distance that is counted only in
heaven" The flight OF thought is still
through Zaarahs of death that divide the
worlds Of light" And still might the guardian
angel of the restless questioning spirit OF
mortal man say: END is there none to the
universe OF God? Lo, also, there is no be-
ginningr
The more powerful telescopes OF our day
widen the horizon of the sky. Still they give
no hint of end or beginning of height or
depth, of limit in time or space. Science push
.es back the borderland of unplumbed space
into quintillions of miles; lost in such i'm
mcnsties the mind is free to wonder what
lies still beyond.

Another Arms Conference.

The apparently well founded reports eman-
ating from London and Paris that the Unit
ed States is feeling out the allies the prop
osition of an international land disarmament
conference attracts attention at once. At this
time, when Europe promises to control the
situation in the near east and promote peace
the opportunity for a conference OF this kind
may be considered good.
Large armies, such as some European
countries now maintain, are as dangerous to
peace as were the big navies, because they
present at all times the possibility OF making
war than which there may be no more dan
gerous thing in possession OF the people. The
loaded gun accessible to the high-strung IN
8ividual may make him a potential slayer.
It may be that America hopes to take the
gun out of Europe's pocket and thus mini
mize the possibility of gunplay while Great
ing, or encouraging, new spirit OF progress
along peacefulness Land disarmament ought
20 be possible although it may not be as
easy as naval limitation. As to land forces,
it must be remembered that nations in con-
iinental Europe-France, Poland Italy and
Russia particularly-have much larger armies
than Great Britain, the United States and
possibly Japan. These might be more diff
cult to persuade than il the leaders OF the
movement for disarmament had the greater
strength as with reference to naval units.
Notwithstanding these contingencies Ameri-
ca might be able to influence a better under
standing among the European governments,
thus promoting peace and its by-product OF
economic rejuvenation.

The Feature" Of State Convention.
+ B. Nevin in Atlanta Georgian.

"The feature OF the state convention in
Macon is said to have been a remarkable
Woodrow Wilson demonstration" notes the
Augusta Chronicle.
That was one feature OF the convention,
to be sure Another feature OF the conven-
ton. it seems, was remarkable demonstra-
ton following the mention OF the name OF
the late Senator Watson.
Newspapers advise that the keynote OF the
Macon convention was harmony" and the
fact that it cheered Woodrow Wilson to the
echo, on the one hand, and Thomas Z. Wat
son to the echo on the other hand, would
seem to me to indicate that that WAS the
keynote, indced-and with vengeance!
1t may or may not have caused the late
Senator Watson to turn over in his grave.

Also Mistaken.

Our neighbor, the Worth County Local,
has fallen into the same error OF many others.
Reports are" says The Local. that Terrell,
Randolph, Sumter and other counties IN that
section of southwest Georgia have made a
normal cotton crop this year They have &C
comp1ished it by using the latest approved
methods, by destroying the old stalks before
frost by preparing the land right, by planting
early, using an early variety OF seed and Ter
tiizing heavy. That seems to be the whole
secret 1t is said that the average amount OF
high grade fertilizer used this year in Terrell
county was around one thousand pounds to
the acre"
Terrell and these other counties have done
well under the circumstances, but they have
not made a normal cotton crop by a long
shot: and, what is more, they never Will
again. Terrell county has this year produced
q 600 bales of cotton. Before the Weevll
came the production ranged from $4,000 to
10000 bales One year it reached $4,000 bales.
The lowest yield any one year since WeeVll
infestation was 10000 bales, which shows that
Terrell county has never made complete
failure. Our contemporary is correct, how
duction here is thorough preparation OF the
land. planting early the best varieties OF SEED,
fertilizing heavily and cultyating rapidly
Comparatively little calcium arsenate has been
used. but in the main most OF those who
have applied it are satisfied with the re-
su1t and more of it will be used another year
Our contemporary is also i'll error IN the
sta+ement that an average of 900 pounds of
high grade fertilizer was used to the acre
in Terrell county. Five hundred pounds
would be more nearly correct. A few farm
ers, perhaps, did use 1000 pounds per acre.
and some made a bale of cotton per acre;
some used 500 to 900 pounds and produced
from half to three-quarters OF bale, and
others used still less with consequent reduc-
tion in Weld. Terrell county is heavy user
of high grade fertilizers, and with proper
preparation and cultivation has found it prof.
table. 1t uses more, perhaps, than any other
county in the state.
Notwithstanding that the production OF
cotton has been materially reduced, the farm
ers of Terrell are more prosperous and in
dependent than when they grew twice as
much. They are now receiving much high
er price for the cotton they do raise, are
growing more grain and peanuts, harvesting
more hav, have more and better hogs and
cows. and chickens and are living better
generally
The worst calamity that could betall the
farmers of the south would be the return to
normal cotton production.

New Wealth.

The value of the farm crops and live stock
produced this year is estimated by the Farm
Journal to be $13,650,O00000, which is ST.
284, 100000 more than the value of the 1921
products. To illustrate what lot of money
that is the Farm Journal tells what the farm
ers might do with it. For example, they
might pay the interest on the national debt
and have money left to buy all the farm inn
elements manufactured next year; they
might pay all Of our income taxes as well as
their own; they might buy all the motor cars
built next year; with their extra money they
might buy all the mems clothing manufact-
ured next year They might also do lot
of other things if they were so minded, Tor
a billion and quarter dollars is an immense
sum figured in the terms of the commodi-
ties it will purchase. Before the farmers
could do all of these things however, it
would be necessary for them first to get the
money To have crops and live stock valued
at so much is one thing, and to translate
them into cash is another thing. 1t is the
problem of marketing, OF distribution, that
perp1exes the farmer, and not production.
The Farm Journals discussion is helpful in
enabling US to visualize the immensely of
che countrys resources and the tremendous
additions to the national wealth that are made
IN single crop season. This is wealth that is
real, and it is the beginning and foundation
of all wealth

CURRENT COMMENT.

Wall Street Journal: Speeding motorists
have inspired many village scribes to elo-
ouence in the signs warning against extray-
agant use of gasoline in passing through
their localities. A sign in a Jersey town
worthy Of perpetuation, reads; Drive slow
and see our town; drive fast and see our
iai'-an American variation OF the Russian
proverb that They drive farthest who drive
slowly" But the prize warning to speeders IS
that which confronts the motorist on ap-
preaching a little Cincinnati village. The
Salvation Army, in its practical work OF
propagating the faith along the highways and
byways, had painted a Biblical paraphrase
on a railroad culvert to the effect that Jesus
is powerful to save ALL"
Underneath in fresh letters was added "ex-
ceDt reckless drivers"

POSTERS PAINTED SAD TALE.

Iowa Falls Citizen: 4 Canadian writer
Saws that the United States should cancel its
debts against our allies The general ground
for the demand is that Germany was about
to burn Washington and New York, that
cur allies held them back and saved the
United States from utter destruction, and
that we should pay our allies for the SER
vice rather than require payment Of them:
1t is not stated whether the cancellation OF
the amounts lent by this country would can,
eel the obligation. Perhaps we should cancel
the debts and pay France, England, Belgium,
Italy, Jugo-Slavia and Greece Tor services
rendered. Well, this seems to be taking us
at our word We said during the war; and
held it to be treason to contradict 1t, that
our great cities were in immediate danger
OF destruction. Pictures were put out OF New
York in flames. II all the dangers depicted
during the war were really true do we not
owe great debt to every ally that saved US?

A Cheerful Funeral.
From the Industrial Index.

In a Georgia town, last week, they held the
funeral of Old Man Gloom. There was con-
siderable pomp and ceremony about it, and
everybody seemed to enjoy the occasion
hugely. The occasion was a fair, or some
thing at any rate, the obseques OF the late
and little lamented Grandfather Gloom were
star feature and seemed to give everybody
unaloyed pleasure.
This particular town is located in sec
ton of Georgia where the boil weev was
especially active and pestiferous last year, SO
that the production of one bale of cotton on
farm was almost feat. And yet, in that
short time the people have come back"
They have raised fair crop of cotton this
year and they are selling it at reasonably
good prices. The people there are cheerful
and hopeful once more; if they were not
they would not have staged Old Man Gloom's
funeral, for it would have been too much OF
q traNeStN.

want the laws enforced, and others are
Indifferent-W ashingtOn Reporter.
Law enforcement is more generally prac

small towns than in the large cities. There
are more soul and body destroying influences
in the cities. while the rural districts to {
greater extent favor the laws of decency. Fol-
this reason the smaller towns do not eNpe

MORE WISDOM" IN LEGISLATION.

From the Valdosta Times.
It is not generally known, but the Georgia
legislature in its wisdom has enacted law
which prescribes an open season" for hunt
ing and killing wild cats This open season
extends from Nov. 10th to March lst of each
year. 1t is presumed that this legal protec-
ton is extended to them because OF their
fur-bearing qualities. However, according to
general disposition, few people know of this
or seem to care, because of the general
depredations made upon hogs and chickens
on the farms The first inclination OF the
average citizen seems to be that wild cat
