CURRENT COMMENT.

Jacksonville Fla, Times Union: The great
trouble is not with the schools, but with the
homes The tendency now seems to be to
he school teacher. In this day of specializa-
ton, when the bread is baked outside the
home the milk comes to the door in bot
ties, the clothes are bought ready made, and
even the music is ground out OF graphic
phone and the good night stories come over
The radio. it would seem that parents would
have great deal OF time to devote to the
training of their little children. This does not
seem to be the case, however The modern
tendency in the training OF children seems
to be Let George do it, George, OF course,
is the public teacher who must train the
child in morals and manners, look after his
physical welfare, see that his teeth are brush
ed. watch out for defects OF vision have him
weighed regularly II he runs down physical

fine physical specimen it is due to the care
OF his parents

Something New in Politics.
From the Vidalia Advance.

We are glad the election is over, for only
last week shrewd Columbus citizen thought
out a plan of embarrassing and discomfort
ing political candidate whom he did not
like, which if it ever gets generally in use
Georgia is going to revOlutiOnize our present
day political campaigns. This Columbus citi-
zen opposing a certain candidate and desir
ing to shackle his aspirations and puncture
his political hopes had the said candidate
arrested on the ground that in making a
house to house canvass in the interest OF his
campaign he was proving common nuisance
And the candidate was forthwith locked up
in jail until friends could go to his rescue
and bail him out We rather expect to see
this Columbus innovation spread like wildhre
all over Georgia in the campaign in 1924 and
that many candidate for office in Georgia
will he arrested on a warrant sworn out by
political enemy alleging that his n 1thods
of campaigning are making him a nuisance.
We may yet come to the point where one
of the chief requirements of an office seeker
will be not a goodsized bank roll, but
friends ready to stand his bail and get him
out of Jail and so thwart the evil plans Of
his political opponents. For the great ma
jority of our population still persist in be
lieving that all is fair in love and war and
politics.

The First lob.
necessity.

John D. Rockefeller has just been celebrat-
ing the anniversary OF the day when he got
his first job Of years ago. The story has been
recounted often, suitably adorned and carry
ing the customary moral Ii IS not singular
that Mr.. Rockefeller should remember the
day. nor that he should celebrate its ami
qersary. The day when boy gets his first
job is red letter day in his life, il not the
red letter day. Few boys escape the expert
euce, and few men fail to remember what
great day it was. There is no other day in
life just like the day when boy gets his
first job Perhaps there is more JOY, hope
and inspiration in the heart OF the boy at that
SQoment than at any other time in his life.
en- sometimes would be willing to give a
good deal to feel the heart glow as it glowed
on the day when they went to work on their
6rst job.

Should Not Be Misled.

There seems to be deliberate purpose in
Paris and London to create the impression
that the United States is exerting pressure
to force the payment Of the allied debt.
There is no indication on this side of the
water that such pressure is being exerted,
All the United States is seeking is an agree
ment as to how the debt shall be paid. 1t is
not demanding immediate payment of either
principal or interest. 1t IS prepared to grant
the most liberal terms. A good deal OF dust
is being thrown in Europe in connection with
this matter. In every statement, official and
otherwise. there is a measure of propaganda.
The European governments have ends to
serve, and they are not above utilizing their
indebtedness to America for that purpose. 1t
is we'll not to be misled.

BETTER FARM INCOME THIS YEAR.

From the Kansas City Star.
The principal farm crops of the United
States, it is estimated, will bring $l250,000,
900 more this year than the same crops
brought last year. The three great crops
corn, cotton and hay are estimated to be
worth this year $1OOO0OOOOO each This, ia
ken in connection with the fact that we have
good wheat harvest insures that the bene-
fit of the 1922 crop will be generally and
evenly distributed. This years crop was
very much less expensive, to produce than
was the harvest of 1921 In fact the farmer
has not produced crop in many years with
SO little hired help and at so slight expense
for machinery and fertilizers as present one.

Autumn's Magic Spell.
From the Lincoln Star.

Don't you sort OF feel, these pleasant and
bamy days OF early autumn that you would
like to take day off and go on a stroll
through the fields and woods? Wouldn't you
like to get out where the squirrels are busy
laying in their winter supplies, and watch
the first dead leaves come whirling to the
ground? And, oh, boy! wouldn't it be fine
# you could take a club and throw it up to
knock walnuts off the trees, and then sit
down and hull them on a flat rock, and gath
er them into a gunnysack-all without
thought or care for the green stains on your
hands-and then tote them home in gunny-
sack. lust as Won did when you were kid?

Making Much Hay.

The Abel News, in recent issue, calls
attention to one of the seasonable activities
in this section of Georgia. 1t says:
This is hay making season in South
Georgia. and the oldest inhabitant hard
ly remembers when we have had a more
suitable season. 1t has been unusually
fine for the saving OF hay and the pick
ing Of cotton. After all, no better coun-
try than this can be found.
This has been an ideal fall for saving
hay, and the farmers have improved the op-
portunity to harvest a great amount OF this
valuable crop Not many years ago large
quantities OF western hay were shipped to
southwest Georgia, but that is the exception
now In fact, western hay is rarely seen here.
Our farmers are harvesting from their own
fields and curing as fine a quality of hay as
can be had from the west, and it is one OF
the things that has contributed in no small
way to their prosperity and independence.

THE ASHES OF AN ORGAN.

From the Omaha WOrld-Herald.
Alter several months OF dispute about mus
c in religion a Kentucky congregation de
cided to install an organ in the church. Those
opposed to music in the church removed the
organ into the yard chopped it to pieces and
after pouring oil on it set it afre. Such bar
barism is happily a rare thing. 1t does not
represent the hottest aspirations of those
who applied the torch. 1t shows a bitterness
and hate that the rich and full tones of an
organ might have softened. What queer deeds
