The Cotton Loan

N two transactions in few weeks the
Georgia Cotton Growers COOPERATIVE as
ISOLATION has demonstrated the power of
War Finance corporation.
The first was arranging a credit Of S.
OOO, 900 with Atlanta banks; the second was
arranging credit of $5,000,O00 with the
War Finance Corporation.
These transactions not only demonstrate
the power of organization. They demon
strate the fact that the Georgia association
is in the hands o. men who have the conf
dence of the bankers and the government.
These loans are merely a beginning. 1t
will take more money than $1O,0O0,G00 to
finance the 1922 production of farmers be-
nging to TT a ssociation, and more will be
forthcoming when it is needed. The War
Finance corporation has demonstrated its
readiness to aid the farmers, and the farm
ers already have learned to rely upon its
aid
Step by step, the Georgia Cotton Growers
Co-Operative association has progressed with
it's plans. Obtaining the necessary enroll
ment of members was a long and d1ftlcult
task The Journal is proud to have had a
part in bringing to the attention OF Georgia
farmers the results accomplished by similar
associations >: other states, notably in Okla

The Georgia association has been re-
markedly fortunate in avoiding mistakes 1t

We believe - association in the first crop
it handles will abundantly prove the superior
ity Of organized cooperative marketing over
demoralized individual marketing.
Such demonstration inevitably will bring
into the association large increase of mem

nancing and marketing power.

QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

A boy who applied for Job with doctor
was asked: "Of course, you can driver" and
the boy said, "Yes.''
"You can milk the cows, clean the bicycle,
and attend to the general rough work." The

"And you can clean my typewriter, and act
as my general valet?''

"You seem nice boy" said the doctor, "why
were you dismissed from your last position:"
Because there was not enough work to do"
"Well, my lad said the doctor, finally, "you

"There is one thing l want to ASK said the

The German Birth Rate

~ COMMENTING upon the European s.tua-
ton a gentleman who could by no
stretch of imagination be called pro-
German, forecasts Teuton comeback" on
premise far more simple than the one of
economic necessity.
This gentleman, a reader of sorts, calls at
tention to the Malthusian theory of popula-
ton and it's direct application tU the central
European countries. The obvious fact that
Germany's population is double that of
France seems to have been overlooked in the
general scramble and in the pleas of the Teu-
ton government for moratorium and the es-
tablishment of an economic plan that will
not ruin the Republic. Sooner or later. in
accordance with inevitable laws, these sim
pie statistics of life and death will enter
potently into the -eckoning.
1t is all very we'll to proclaim nation
bankrupt; to trumpet that Germany is in
the depths of an economic chaos from which
she can not rise. But it is quite another
thing to prognosticate ruin for nation of
over forty million -ople whose birth-rate is
in ;reasing with a rapidity that is astonish-
ing and whose loss oil large tracts Of terri
tory seems in no wise to have seriously ham,
pered it. Forty million people do not bank
rupt themselves; however much the govern
ment that speaks for them may be skating
on the ragged edge of oblivion

Tumb1ed Reading

+" HERE is. of course, no criterion that
can be applied to every mind, except
a. perhaps in fundamentals, which fact
seems to explain why in the discussion or
the right use of books no one has, as yet
offered any very brilliant contribution.
Each writer on the subject seems to ad-
dress himself to particular type of reader,
and yet in large measure the question is
one of considerable consequence in the
field Of education.
There is no doubt that books are stimuli
to creative as well as to original thought,
and catholicity in the choice Of literature
can but result in wider understanding Of
world movements as well as the attain
ment Of that indefinable something called,
for lack Of better word, culture"
It seems that the first defect in modern
reading is a certain lack Of discrimination.
and it is this lack that sends reader, as
an English pedagogue once complained,
through volume of economics one day
and a book on eugenics the next. Worse
than this, the following days reading is
likely to include a problem novel and q
book or two of inconsequential verse with
a page or so from the most recent out
pourings Of some popular psycho-patholo
gist.
This is the sort Of reading that results
in the confusion of ideas that is daily mani

fact is that such mans impressions, fal

Science and the South

<fO CIENCE," wrote Herbert Spencer,
sis simply higher development
of common knowledge" Along in
the same thesis occurs the apt definition:
"All science is provision"
1t does not become necessary, however,
to drag the author of First Principles"
from the shelves to bolster the cause Of
those who have proposed the conference of
southern manufacturers and scientists. The
original suggestion for such a meeting
came from DR.. G. r. Fountain, head of the
department Of physics at Mercer Univer-
sity, and the agenda proposed would be the
discussion of needs peculiar to southern
industry
DR.. Fountain, who is a member Of the
American foundation and vice president of
the National Institute of Inventors, is now
in communication with merchants and
scientists of the South, and it is to be
hoped that the tentative plans proposed
for the industrial conference will mate
rialize fully and at not too distant date.
In making his announcement to the
press, the Mercer physicist has stated sue
cinctly condition that we have all known
to exist in the South: that here as "per-
haps nowhere else will the development
during the next generation depend the
scientific training Of engineers and in
ventors"

family fight, and generally how to stroke her
fur the right way.
It is women, however, who practically
monopolize the adapting business in matri-
mony, for few men ever think it worth while
to take any special pains to get along with
their wives agreeably. They consider that it
is their wives duty to get along with them.
Therefore, woman's success as a wife de-
Ponds to - large ext mt upon her ability to
be what her husband wants her to be in
stead OF the sort Of woman she is by nat
ure. She may be a home staying woman,
he the sort of man who likes to CAD, and
adores cabarets and restaurants. She will
lose him unless she dolls herself up, and
tOddles with him. She may have Tam
hauser taste, he Anheuser. She must come
to his level, for he will never climb up to
hers. He may adore outdoor sports, she
loathe them. It's up to her to decide
whether she will be golf widow, or the sort
of a wife to whom man can talk golf,
than which there Is no closer tie.
1t goes without saying that the atmos-
phere Of home is of the wife's making. She
OF sunshine and calm, or perpetual storm
center according to whether she is stiff neck
ed, or supple necked.
If she is Of the rigid sort who lays down a
set Of regulations for her husband and chill
dren that are as unh. eakable as the laws of
be place of terror which her family will
flee at every chance. She will feel it her
duty to call their attention to all their faults.
She will harp upon their weaknesses, and
bring them to book for their shortcomings.
She will never see that they may be right
from their stand point If they are wrong
from hers. She will never make allowances
for any temperament or temptations.
But If she has cultivated adaptability she
makes her home haven Of love and life
within it soft and gracious thing. She
gives the widest liberty to husband and chill
dren because she recognizes that they have
the same rights to their individuality as she
has to hers. People say that she spoils her
husband because she caters to his whims and
fancies, and meets hi n upon his own ground.
They do not see that she is philosopher who
has solved the problem of how to manage a
husband, and make marriage a success.
For it Is always she who can stoop, who
conquers, and the woman with the flexible
neck around whose throat men hang strings
OF pearls.

i'd highways covering the entire country.
States Must vaintain Roads


States Must 7aintain Roads
Federal-aid roads must be maintained by
the several states, and If any Of them fail in
this obligation all government funds for new
projects may be withheld, until such delin-
quencies are made good. All the states al ,
required to maintain adequate highway de-
partments and FUNDS to supplement the
money from the federal treasury must be
placed under the direct control Of these de-
partments. The type Of surfao constructed
must be adequate for the traffic anticip ted,
with reasonable grades. curves and other
features. All federal money must be expend-
ed on urves and otter features. All fe. >ral
money must be expe ed on connected sys-
tenn of highways constituting not more than
per cent of the total mileage in each state
and divided into primary or interstate roads
and secondary or inter-country loads. Elimi-
nation of the problem of railro&-. grade cross
ings is one of the things sough. by the pro-
visions of the new law. In all roads con-
structed in part with government money ev-
cry effort must be made, and additional ex-
penditures are authorized, to avoid the dan
gerous crossings that annually take such a
toll of human lives.
An illustration Of what a menace grade
crossings may be is found in a road between
two small towns in Alabama, Ariton and
Clayton. In a distance of 25 miles the old
road crossed the railroad IA times. Under
the direction of expert engineers the federal
aid road will eliminate 10 of these crossings.
"Plan now the financing Of highways for
the future and place highway transportation,
which has come to be an indispensable part
of our national life, on a firm foundation
is the advice given by Thomas H. Macdonald
to every voter, taxpayer and legislator. Mr..
Macdonald is the chief Of the federal bu-
reau of public roads. eve are starting out
to construct a system Of highways such as
no nation ever before constructed The
nearest approach to it is found in France and
Germany, and the area of neither of those
countries is as large as Texas. This great
undertaking is entered into because high
ways are not a luxury, but supply real
service, have a real earning capacity, and
have become national necessity"
When and where man first began to build
roads is not known. That it was long before
the beginning of authentic history is certain.
Furthermore the construction of such works
as the pyramids Of Egypt and the great walls
and hanging gardens Of Babylon could not
have been accomplished without the exist
ence of roads for the transportation of ma
terials and supplies.
But whatever the beginnings Of road build
ing, it appears that it has been left to this
country to carry the art to it's final fruition.
We are leading the world at the present time
and the policy that is being carried out meets
with such widespread popular approval that
there is no likelihood of it's being abandoned.

man who makes X-ray pictures says that
he can tell married women from unmarried
women by their necks. He declares that an
unmarried woman's neck is stiff and rigid,
and has to be forced into the desired posi-
ton, whereas a married woman's neck is
flexible, and easily falls into any pose.
This is not to be marvelled at, for the
neck that has worn the matrimonial yoke is
training neck. 1t has had the pride and
stubbornness taken out Of it, and it has be-
come supple through learning how to duck
the places that rubbed and CALLED.
1t does not take woman long to find out
after she is married that her neck must either
bend or break, and if she has any intelli-
gence whatever she tegins limbering up her
mental and moral verterbrae until she can
tie double bow knots in all of her previous
habits and opinions, instead of standing up
uncompromising as lamp post, and let
ting matrimony hammer her to pieces.
Certainly, one of the missions Of mar
riage is to teach people adaptability. No
man and woman can go through that mill
without having their egotism, and vanity
ground to powder, and without finding out
that if they wish to live in reasonable peace
and happiness, they must learn to adjust
themselves to the people by whom they are
surrounded and the circumstances in which
they must live, instead of expecting to make
over the world and everyone into their
liking.
For this reason, married people are nearly
always more TodSOudDl0, more CmSnudU10 W
argument, and easier to get along with than
single people. Nearly all fanatics are old
maids and old bachelors. The have never
had to adjust their roint Of view to another
and so there has developed in them a colos-
sal conceit that makes them believe that
there is no other side to a question except
the one they see.
Perhaps the greatest surprise that matri-
mony holds for a man is the fact that he
has to adjust himself to lis wife, for every
mans secret belief is that he is marrying a
lump Of clay that he can transform into his
own image with pat or two. To his con-
sternation he finds that this was a mistake,
and that he has acquired life partner who
bristles with sensibilities, and prejudices,
and opinions a porcupine does with spikes,
and that he has to handle her with gloves
if he doesn't wish to be constantly impaled
on her sharp points.
Therefore, if he is wise, he studies how
to avoid getting stung. He learns how to
evade the angles of her temper, how to side
step her peculiarities; how to yield in the
small matters that are so much to a woman;
how to shun the topics that are good for a

Governor Hardw;ck Is Right
On "Inv;s;b1e Government

LEAR-THINKING Georgians will ear
nestly indorse, we believe, the recent
statement Of Governor Hardwick
touching what he terms invisible govern
ment." Declaring that there is no room in
this Commonwealth for that sort Of rule, he
says:
$50 long as 7 am Governor and can
prevent it, we shall not have it, either
from the Kimball House, or the Khan
Palace, or the United States capitol. At
any rate I shall 40 all in my power to
combat it from whatever source it may
come. Whatever were the excuses for
the first Ku Klux Klan-and they were
strong and numerous-there is none for
any Khan of similar character operating
to enforce their own opinions and to ex-
ecute their own desires, outside OF the
law and courts of the State
Neither the Governor nor any other mag
istrate charged with enforcement of the law
and believing in Democratic institutions
could we'll hold contrary view That which
il masked and covert and devious, however
well-intentioned it's promoters may be, does
not sort well with either the principles or
the traditions Of free people. Justice is of
the nature Of sunlight and open air; her
ways are plain, her countenance undark-
ened, her records to be read Of all men.
Surely then, they who aspire to aid justice
can do so without mask or mystery. Good
government Is not invisible government,
nor is it government by secret means and
cltuues, nor is it government "outside OF
the law and courts" But good govern
ment is Of the people and by the people,
as we'll as for the people. Its source is
the ballot box, to which may come all
qualified voters, without shadow of con-
cealment; while its end is the main
tenance Of equal rights and the promotion
of the common veal, with neither spe-
cial privileges nor hidden operations
Men are free to firm such fraternit1es as
their social interests and tastes find agree
able, so long as they square with law; and
within those bounds it is no magistrate
business and no newspapers business what
they do. < But invisible government is
far different affair, ard far graver For how
good so ever its motives may Le, it is repug'
nant to the spirit of democracy and, soon or
late will prove pe-ilous as we'll. The Cover
nor is, therefore, to be commended with
heart-whole earnestness by all thinking citi-
zens for his stand in support Of that rightful
government which the people constitute and
to which all look for justice, as against

conducted in secrecy.

Russia the The Hague

T N throwing out the Russian question of
credits from the conference of nations,
The Hague but fulfilled the forecast
made before the conference was begun.
Neither Litvinoff mol Krass:n made any at
tempt to reply frankly to the QUESTIONABLE
submitted to them. contendink that the mat
ter of Russia's internal government could
not be settled nor properly Quilted until the
soviet was granted the credits that it is ask
ing of the world.
A full and final rupture between the soviet
delegation and the countries of Europe now
appears inevitable. The belief obtains, how
short duration and that Russia will realize
the necessity and the ACCESSIBILITY of putting
all her cards on the table of the conference.
Britain will, undoubtedly, in accordance
with tie Lloyd George Russian policy, make
at least one further attempt to save The
Hague conference from collapse, for, if col
lapse should come at this time, the national
prestige of Britain would suffer a blow al
most as severe would be given the per-
| sonal policy of her premier.
There seems to be a general agreement
| among the nations that Russia must be saved
| for the world. The potential wealth of the
| country is a tremendous factor in. European
| industrial life and no country overseas can
afford, at this time, to boycott her.
Herein lies the strength of the Lenine-
Trotzky regime, but the internal pressure OF
Russia's millions, as we'll as the moral power
| of England, can bit result in the soviet's ul
innate acceptance o. Lloyd Georges terms.
