This paper may have conveyed the
idea in the last issue that the Nor
row County Farm Bureau, as an or
ganizauon was backing E. NJ. Hull
den for the nomination of joint rep
reSentadve, for We did not make our
selves quite clear. As an organiza-
tiou, the Farm Bureau is strictly nom
political; it boosts no man for office
and takes no part in such affairs.
While this is true, the individual
members of the Bureau retain their
rights as citizens to take part in all
affairs political and otherwise, and
had We stated the case Just as it
should have been in connection with
the bringing out of Mr.. Hulden, We
should have said that he was being
endorsed BY some of the leading
members of the Farm Bureau, who
as citizens of Morrow county, would
be pleased to have him enter the
race and would pledge him their
support.

Honey Philosophy for 1922

After all this thing of a govern
ment isn't anything more than the
bunch getting together to run things
so that everyone can be happy and
content. Of course, some fellow said
we never could be content so what
was the good of chasing content
ment, but just the same We can be
happy. What's the matter with think
in all the time about the things we
like instead of broodin' over the
things we don't like. If we burden
our minds with nothin' but criticism
and fault findin' and huntin out
distaSteful things we'll find so many
Of EN- We won't have room or time
to enjoy, and happiness if it comes.
You can't put quart of water in a
pint measure. You can't be produc-
tive or prosperous if you're not hap
~, an the way to be happy is to be
happy-tolerance, forgiveness an a
smile in place of fretfulness, anger
an frown. Great lord, its cold
this mornin'. I'll bet those polar
bears are enjoyin' themselves.

Arbuckle

Disagreement of the jury in the
second trial of Arbuckle means, of
course, third trial. Throughout the
deliberations ten jurors were firm for
conviction, whereas at the first trial
when the state made out a stronger
case, ten jurors voted for acquittal.
According to press dispatches, mo-
ton picture distributors, expecting
acquittal, made arrangements yes
terday for release of plays, in which
Arbuckle figured as a star, the mo-
.ment his "vindication" could be an
nounced. Now the release must be
deferred.
Is an Arbuckle film marketable
merchandise? We believe not. Some
owners of movie houses might have
the temerity to take chance and
a theater might be filled one night
with male and female denizens of
the underworld, but the great body
CT movie patrons are normal people,
and no normal person wishes a beast
like Arbuckle to entertain him.
Until his contemplate character
was exposed Arbuckle posed and was
accepted as a comedian. He was in
fact only clown with a false face
that concealed his animal nature. In
a picture play he is offensive to ev-
eryone who can lay claim to respec-

The New Propaganda

Americans are being given, with
cut their asking, great deal to read
about Hugo SHINES and the other
commercial barons of the great in
duStrial region in the Rhineland." 1t
occurs TO the newspaper men who
have been baraged with propaganda
for years that these tales of the in
dustrial princes of Germany are real
" the most subtle of all Teutonic
propaganda.
SHINES, we read in recent biog-
raphy of him, is quiet, retiring man
who shrinks from publicity. A man
of the people, a man who has declar-
ed that his only aim lin life is to aid
the country and provide for his chill
dren. That biography was written
in Germany translated into English
and published in America.
SHINES and all his ilk are profit
.eers. They increased their holdings
curing the war until they have ab-
Sorbed the industries Of Germany.
SHINES is claimed to be a super
mind, a generalissimo of commerce,
in the biography which he no doubt
ordered prepared. His work is saving
the state, and he is doing a sorry
job of it.
Travellers in the Rhineland tell Of
the vast prosperity of the industrial
regions, a prosperity famed by Stin-
mes and his propaganda-crowned
kings of finance. 1t is prosperity
whose flame is fed with increasingly
greater quantities of almost worth
less paper money. A little more OF
such saving and Germany will be
bankrupt. 1t is a case similar to that
of the athlete who is spurred on with
oxygen. He is capable Of super
normal things for a time until the
unnatural sustenance burns him out,
and he is ruined.
What is the purpose Of the Ger
man propaganda behind SHINES? 1t
is to create again in the minds of
the world bloated conception OF
Germany's commercial greatness. Ii
is to make us think of the Rhineland
today as an area where industrial
power has multiplied over the an
cient days. 1t is to make US fear
Germany and her industrial feudal.

Income Tax Facts

Changes in the revenue law are of
material benefit to the average fam
lily man. Under the revenue act of
1921 a married person, living with
wife or husband, whose net income
for 1921 was $4,000 or less, is al
lowed a personal exemption of ST.
500. Under the revenue act off 1918
the exemption allowed a married per-
son was $1,000, regardless of the
amount Of net income.
The normal tax rate is the same,
4 per cent on the first $4,000 of net
income above the exemptions, and 5
Per cent on the remaining net in

come. Given his personal exemption
of 50, 500, plus $500 for each depen-
dent, q married man with three chill
dren-the average American family
will pay this year on a net income
OF $4,000 a tax Of Sl2. On the same
income for 1921 he would have paid
tax of $50.
Every citizen and resident of the
United States must determine for
himself whether his income for 1921
was sufficient to require that a re-
turn be filed. Full instructions for
making out a return are contained
on the forms, copy of which will
be sent to taxpayers who filed a re-
turn last year, Failure to receive a
return, however, does not relieve a
taxpayer of his obligation to file a
return on time, on or before March
Is, 1922. Forms may be obtained
from collectors of internal revenue
and branch offices.

Keep the Health Fire Burning

The law of compensation seems
tc hold good even in vital statistics.
Official figures inform us that the
death rate is decreasing and the sui
eide rate increasing. Seemingly if
man cannot die from natural causes
within satisfactory period of time
he will shuttle off the mortal coil Of
his own volition.
The decline in the death rate in
1921 over 1920 as reported by one
Of the great insurance companies is
described as quite remarkable-in
brief l3 ITO per cent. tuberculosis
decreased l6 $40 per cent Brights
disease decreased s $40 per cent,
diseases Of the heart / per cent and
disease relating to child bearing Is
2-l0 per cent. There will be still
further decrease when the govern
ment learns that human beings are,
economically at least, as valuable as
hogs, and then functions intelligent
ly through its health department to
educate the people in the matters Of
sanitation, stripping the mask Of mys-
tery from simple medication and put
ting before the men and women Of
the land the A. B. c. of health con-
servation. The schools should teach
the children something Of the habits
and indiscretions that throw a mon
key wrench into the natural machin-
cry and they should know the rea-
sons why.
The calm indifference with which
civilized governments all over the
world have ignored the education Of
their peoples in matters pertaining
TO health is an indictment Of civil
ization. Billions for war, millions for
pork barrels, hundreds Of thousands
for political fence building, but not a
cent to teach the people how to pre-
serve their health, upon which all
happiness and prosperity is based

Is Henry a Billionaire?

In a recently published interview,
Henry Ford declared that he had
cash balances in banks of Sl25,000,-
coo to $l40,OOO,OOO; he did not know
within Sl5,00J,000 how much he
had. He said that his balances were
worth 100000, 600, his inventories
as much more, anI he thought the
whoit works could be capitalized for
a tilllon. The suggestion that Ford
is Millionaire is not accepted by
some financial writers, and many
think Rockefeller still the richer
man. John D. is not so much inclin-
ed to tell the public what he has,
but he has given away hundreds of
millions, Ford seems to have learned
the secret of remaining popular with
the proletariat while acquiring great
riches. Is he really our first billion
aire?

The Farmers Will Is Law

The demand of the farmers that
capital and labor share alike in the
dehation necessary to bring about a
restoration of normal business con-
iitions is a clear indication that ag-
ricultural awakening is complete and
that never again will tillerS of the
soil be led aStray in the bypathS of
abstruse economics. The plain fact
Is the farmer has TO pay high prices
for the things he has to buy and he
cannot get living prices for the things
he has TO sell. There is nothing
else to the problem. Naturally, there
is a panic in the ranks of the mon
led interests when the farmer earn
estly insists that the railroads must
take their share of liquidation be-
cause railroads have been and are in
siStent on higher freight rates, am
higher passenger rates if they can
get them. But the dominant posi-
ton of the farmer is now emphasiz-
ed. Even labor runs panic stricken
to its old time enemy and bids the
farmer halt. The suggestion that the
railroads share in further deflation
is direct attack on wages shouts
Mr.. GomperS and so the whole pack
Of cards is disclosed The sophistry
reveals self interest. Capital may
fight for its money bags, labor may
fight for its interest, the manufactur-
er, the wholesaler, the retailer, the
butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker may fight for theirs, all
may organize to press their positions,
but when il comes to an agricultural
bloc then there is united protest.
Mr. Gompers, representing labor
even if he does, as Mr.. Gary Of
the Steel trust says, represent only a
small part of lahor-may as we'll
realize the farmer is the cause Of
things, and that all the other wig
Cling elements are purely effects,
The tail cannot wag the dog. The
farmer is natures king because he
is the creator and developer of the
only source Of human life, and it will
not take the people very long TO real
ize that what the farmer says must
60 or there will be trouble in the
camp.

Injury May Make
Kilburn a Cripple

Physicians still are unable to de-
ternine the extent of injuries suf'
fered Sunday by Lew J. Kilburn, a
member ;of the workman's compen,
sation board of Georgia. Mr.. and
Mrs. Kilburn were injured Sunday
when their automobile collided with
a car owned by T. G. Strickland
Of EST Washington street.
Members of Mr.. Kilburn's family
are apprehensive that his injuries
may make him a cripple for life.
Several months ago he fell in Ma
con and fractured his knee cap.
In the accident Sunday, the same
member was injured, but is so
badly bruised that doctors are un-
able to ascertain whether the bone
is broken again, In which case, It
is feared, it would be almost I'm
possible to get a second knitting Of
the bone. He is at the Georgia Bap-
fist hospital.
Mrs. Kilburn is confined at her
home, and is said to be in much
pain. She was pinned beneath the
car.

CONGRESS To GET q.
COMPOSITE CREDIT
FARMERS AID BILL!

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Men1'
bers of the senate banking and cur
rency committee have individually
concluded to draw up a composite
farm credits measure to weave TO-
gether the separate farm legislation
proposals which have split con-
grcss.
Though no official action toward
this end will be taken until next
week, it was learned today that
majority of the committee is In
favor Of this method of procedure.
Individual bills which have been adj
vanced thus far have met with
widespread opposition.
The composite bill is expected to
revise the present system Of farm
credits so as to provide longer term
credits; make available amounts per-
haps as high as $4,000; utilize the
government agencies now operating
the farm loan bureau and the war
finance corporation-rather than set
up any new organization as some
of the bills have suggested.
The entire program, however, is
faced with delay because Of the in
ability of the committee to conclude
it's hearings. Senator Mclean, chair
man of the committee, now states
that hearings will be resumed on
next Wednesday-the date he for
merly had expected to report bill
to the senate. Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon and Secretary OF
Agriculture Wallace may testify
then.
1t is hardly expected that the COM
posite bill can be reported out for
ten days, inasmuch as many holt
days will force postponement OF ac'
ton.
