Bob White Bug Destroyer
From Farna and Ranck.

Every shot fred9at the bob whites that
are wintering in your fields is a shot at your
pocketbook Quails destroy millions of hiber
mating bugs that would otherwise awake next
spring to fall hungrily upon the products Of
field and garden.
while you fight the bugs redouble your
efforts to increase bob white quails," says A.
c. Burill, of We Missouri College of Agri-
900 bugs at meal and their stomachs
crave another meal every two hours, At least
this is the usual rate of digestion in most
insect-eating birds Quails are the only wild
birds which specialize on bugs in the winter
season"
To protect the bob white the most effective
plan is for several farmers comparatively to
publish notice in the county papers for
bidding hunters to shoot quai1s on their prem
Uses. This has been done successfully in sew
eral Missouri communities. Many county pa
pers already are running such notices prop
erly drawn up by lawyer and kept standing
in the paper throughout the hunting season.
In such cases the publisher will add the name
of any farmer in the county and keep it
there, for, say so cents for the season.
Protect the quals they will fight your bat
ties for you-winter and summer.

God Helps The Farmer
Who Will Help Himself
From the Cotton Pool Meas.


The banker, the lawyer, the legislator, can
all help the farmer little, but they cannot
solve his problem for him. They cannot help
him much No individual, whether a govern
ment official or not, can bring prosperity to
the farmers of the south
If the condition of the Georgia cotton
growers is to be improved nobody in the
world is going to do it unless the Georgia
cotton grower does it-and he is doing it.
The Georgia farmer is thrifty and energetic.
Here in Georgia the cotton grower is work
ing out his own salvation, He is not whining
or complaining or whimpering-he is work
ing. He knows what he wants, and he is
going right ahead to get it.
He knows that cooperative marketing is
the only way he will ever get a fair price
for his cotton, and without asking anybody
to do the job. for him he himself is setting
up the machinery to market his cotton CO.
operatively.
Laws will never increase the price of cot
ton. Laws will never eliminate the unneces-
sary mddemen and SPECTATORS. Nobody but
the farmer himself carFsdo that job.
In Georgia he is doing it by signing the
long time, legally enforceable cotton market
ing contract

Money to Poor Uses
From the Daily Star.

Senator Mccormick of Illinois, speaking
before the Union League Club of Chicago,
hit the nail squarely on the head when he
declared that if we are to expect the European
countries to buy our corn, pork and wheat
we must first see them reduce the big armies
and get down to work.
No country which supports great armies,
requiring tremendous expenditures for main
tenance, can find money to purchase the
things that it really needs and which we have
to sell. The huge sums now going into the
maintenance OF military programs in Europe
must be diverted to purchase of the goods
which make for the comfort and happiness Of
the people if Europe is to recover soon from
its Decentralization.
Some of the countries in Europe are today
military forces far above those OF
1914 They can not prosper under such a sit
nation While these countries are languishing
the United States is adversely affected, be
cause we can not find the markets for our
surplus of those products which these for
eign lands so greatly need.

The women of Americas have undertaken
a movement to popularize the use of home
grown products. They propose to have the
housewives of their town demand home
grown products from their grocers in prefer
ence to those shipped from other sections,
notes the Sylvester Local. That is splen-
did movement; one of the best ever made
for any town, and would be a good thing
for Dawson and every other place in Geor-
gia. As our Sylvester contemporary says,
thousands of dollars are going out OF
Georgia every day for things that our farm
ers have for sale for which they have no
market Let us demand home cured hams,
home cured meats of every kind, home
grown vegetables" etc. If the women of
more Georgia towns would do as those OF
Americas and demand home raised and
home made products larger market would
be created for them, to the benefit of every
one.

RUDE RURAL RHY MES
CATALOGUE TIME.

Where now the winds OF March are blow
ing the garden sass will soon be growing.
My muse shall sing mans yearly need for
onion sets and spinach seed shall sing like
wise that gay decever which stimulates our
garden fever, the subtle seedmans catalogue
whose charms our better judgment fog. Its
pictured beets and peas and chard were new
er grown in my back yard My radishes are
not so red my punkns not SO widely spread,
my lettuces refuses to head. The scotsman is
an optimist and loves the brighter side, l
wist. He does not show in colored plate the
woody worms that lie in wait. No dark-brown
spots like mine are seen on his prolific green
pod bean. And yet, for planting all agog, |
love that yearly catalogue. l hail with Joy
each harmless fable and plant new squashes
for my table. For though my cukes be bit
ter things my cabbage full OF worms; by
jings, and all my snap beans full of strings,
still to my heart the brown earth calls, and
all her summers, springs and falls shall find
my legs in overalls; shall find me spading
loan and sand with seven blisters on my
hand. BOB ADAMS.

SAW A BREAD LINE"

From the Pearson Tribune.
Editor John I. Herring, of the Triton Ga
zette, witnessed bread line" in New York
when returning from Connecticut and the
funeral OF Capt. H. H. Tiff. He says he does
not want to see another; it is heart-rending
to see jobless men, without the comforts Of
life, standing in the street for hours waiting
for their share of the benefaction now being
made by all the churches of that great city,
and contrast it with the extravaganza of the
very wealthy spending lavishly for that they
actually do not need, gratifying selfish vani-
ty He thanks God that, while there is much
suffering in South Georgia and things hap
pening not very creditable, no bread lines
exist; our aims are not dispensed that way.

WHEN MONEY is A HANDICAP.

Persons who have learned some hard
facts in the school of experience insist that
zones best friend is ones money" They
say this because money will buy the neces-
sites of life, for once it is in persons pos
session it does not lose any part of its
magic power, no matter what the repute OF
its owner may have become. Money, then,
has grown to be, as rule, the strongest
aid human being may have, although 1t
cannot, with all its influence, buy every
thing one wishes. Notwithstanding these
facts money can be a direct handicap,
drag, an obstacle.
One of the really bad effects exerted by
money is seen in the mark on the character
of the young man or girl who may nave
vast amounts to spend, given by overload
and over foolish parents. This has been es-
tablished for sometime from observation OF
the antics of college and university stu
dents, the children of wealthy persons,
whose careers while attending the educa-
itonal institutions are those OF reckless
spendthrifts Young men in college and
university life who have allowances run
ming into many hundreds, or thousands, OF
dollars indulge in Injuries which, instead
of contributing to their advancement, send
them down the hill of retrograde on swift
toboggan. Character is formed in this way
but what character! Instead OF being IN
spired with admiration for that which IS up
right, clean, honest and forceful they may
become so perverted in their desires that
they will embrace that which is fatal. The
hypothesis can be disposed of; these things
actually happen.
Chicago high schools are just now fur
nishing some bizarre exposes of student lie
that prove the theory that large amounts OF
money in the hands of willful children are
deleterious instead of helpful. Limousines
driven by callow youths who never earned
a dollar in their lives, but who spend with
facile ease, visit cabarets, jazz resorts, tea
shops shady flats and road houses, bear
ing their passengers on joy rides that are
damaging and dangerous. The conduct OF
these high school students are consider
ed scandaous by the authorities who have
made Investigations The children them
selves cannot be blamed so much. They
are living in a time that is particularly haz-
ardous in its effect on morals, they have
money to spend, they see unit examples
On all sides and they go out at high speed
either ignorant or unmindful of the conse-
quences. The evil itself can be traced oil
rectly to the home and then to the parents
who are wholly responsible. The rich, in
dulgent father who provides his son or
daughter with luxuries and large amounts
of money cannot expect the best results
from what can be nothing but foolish In
veStment.

Taxes This Year.
From the ALbharetta Free Press.

A large number of good citizens in Ros-
we'll and vicinity have interested themselves
in asking authorities to lower taxes this year,
and to begin now, while it is time.
The suggestion OF tax revision is timely, es-
pecially at this particular time. The country
ruined the world, and especially America. 1t
not only caused us to lend foreign countries
more than ten billion dollars, but it caused
us to form habits of extravaganza that it
seems we cannot break. We are literally act
ing the fool in the way of spending more
than we make.
Taxes lowered will help us, but we must
also help ourselves by putting stop to wild
spending and useless spending. We ought to
buy what we need and support the best in
situations, but we ought to stop giving any
thing whatever to bad causes.

Some Atlanta gentlemen who belong to
one of the many clubs that are always look
ing out for the welfare of everybody and
wanting something done about everything
well meaning, no doubt-are advocating. a
measure that would make punishment for
burglary practically impossible. They want
a law passed making that crime capital
offense. Burglary is one of the worst crimes
and should be severely punished, but with
hanging as the penalty there would be but
few if any convictions.

reflective mood, a correspondent is struck
with the following contrast and ncongrulty'
"You can see score of generals gong
about the streets bowed down under the
weight OF half ton of metal in the shape OF
crosses. stars, bars and other decorative
hardware But in a day or two we shall
see Charles E. Hughes quietly taking
boat to Bermuda dressed in black suit,
a good deal less ornamental than that OF
the assistant purser.
To which reflection he appends a phi
losophical admonition "either to take the
glamour away from war or else to give CLAM
our to the victories of peace"
There are countries where the heroes OF
peace are supplied with plenty OF "decora-
tive hardware" There are stars and gar
tiers for British statesmen, if they care to
puA them on, and gorgeous uniforms for
DIPLOMATS on state occasions are provided
nearly all over Europe. But somehow they
she'd little glamour" and the civilian OF
ficials generally feel so foolish about ex-
hibiting themselves in gold lace that the
populace never sees them in anything more
impressive than a dress suit.
AS the Milwaukee Sentinel says: Mr.
Hughes brain work is no doubt as
valuable as General Pershings. Lloyd
George is as much of a genius as Admiral
Beattie. Abstractly and philosophically
there is no reason why special glamour
and uniform should attach to one specia
class. But human beings are not philoso
pliers. We insist on dressing up and deco
rating our soldiers and generals, presume
bly, by the same instinct that drove tn
Indian to the use of paint and feathers
when taking the war path"
A statesman may, and does, rank hlghe
than a general. But the success OF states
man is not as snowy, nor are his failures a
keenly felt by the nation as defeat in bat
