Prophecies ~, Pink

T-HE "peach belt'' of Georgia is rejoicing
in the prospect of one of the largest
and most promising fruit crops in
years The season has been advantageous
and the outlook for a bountiful harvest
with gratifying financial return to one OF the
most important industries Of the state, is
particularly bright.
Wherefore. the "Peach Blossom Festival
at Fort Valley, the heart of the peach grow
ing industry. The festival is now in prog
ress, having opened on Friday, to continue
until Tuesday when the gala climax will be
reached
The advent of spring, when the spreading
peach orchards burgeon. forth into wealth of
wonderful pink, foretokening a flood of gold
is always period Of rejoicing and renewed
hope The peach belt of Georsia is thing
of beauty in blossom time. One who has
never traversed the territory in spring
can have no conception of the allurement of
the scene. scarf Of delicate pink covers
the earth. The trees are hidden beneath the
mass of bloom. One sees only an unbroken
vista of wonderful color
Since peach production constitutes the
principal industry in many counties compr1s-
ing the peach belt, the wayfarer may travel
for hours along the highways without emer-
ging from the bower of beauty Peach or
chards are the rule, not the exception in mid
die Georgia.. Green fields and patches of
woodland serve only to intensity the vivid
color tones of the orchards.
So, in Fort Valley where the peach grow
ing industry is enshrined, where fortunes
have been and are being made through this
crop alone the Peach Blossom Festival is an
event of greatest moment.
A splendid pageant has been arranged for
the final day, Tuesday. An open air spec

But Don't Initiate Lodge

LII that Senator Lodge says of the
~ Four-Power treaty, which he is ar

said for the League of Nations covenant
which he Indignantly assailed-a1l and
more.
Failure to ratify the new pact, he SOL
EMMY warns the Senate, would shock and
startle the world, and bitterly disappcint
the American people," Rejection of this
great effort and opportunity for internation-
al co-working would be virtually inviting
future conflict. GA beginning has been made
to secure the worlds peace in the coming
years. Let us not blight or wither this
hope.' (No, albeit Henry Cabot Lodge him

seasons ago. 1.-THE miseries and horrors of
the Great War must never come again II we

Senator from Massachusetts did all in the
power of splenetic partisanship to wreck the
cause of war-prevention when the Treaty of
Versailles was before the Senate.) eff we

peace is in the people of the United States -

dear trust a wel1-nigh fatal blow?) eff we

not do this then no one can, and the clouds
of war will again settle heavily over the fu-
ture of civilization" well may the Senator
now be concerned over Cne clV1llzatlon
which but lately he was willing to let drift
to any hazard if only he might vent his
gall against Woodrow Wilson, whose great
ness he could not forgive.)
But if the record of Lodge is unsavory
all the more reason why the Democrats of
the Senate should not initiate it. The Four
Power treaty is no such comprehensive and
statesmanly plan for world peace as the
League covena-t, but it is good as far as it
goes, it is a stride in the right direction, 1t
is what keen observer has aptly called
"the first fruit of Republican surrender" to
the ideals which the great leader of Ameri-
can Democracy bore aloft.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS

| n FEVER week that rolls around that
NJ do not get a tear-sodden letter in
which some middle-aged woman tells
me that her husband is tired of her, and
wants to be rid of her, and asks me what
shall she do.
Always the story is the same. The woman
writes that she and her husband married
when they were young and poor; that she
shaved and saved to help him get along, and
that they were happy for a good many years.
Then the husband began to philander around,
and neglect her and his home. There was
an affair with some pretty, young girl. She
forgave him that, and he was sorry, and it
was like old times for while.
Then some other woman, young and stun
ming looking, came into his life, as they say
in the movies, painted, slim, impudent-
faced thing, but he is infatuated with her,
and he tells his wife frankly that he doesn't
love her any more; that she is old and fat.
and ugly, and that he is tired of her, and
that the only thing on earth that she can do
to please him is to get divorce.
And the woman asks piteously, what shall
she do?
I think there is no other story on earth
so tragic as this of the wife who has given
the best years of her life to man, and who,
when he wearies of her, is turned out like
a worn-Out old horse to shift for herself, and
live or die, as it chances. For her tragedy
is not only the tragedy of broken heart
and the loss of the man who has been all in
all to her, it is the tragedy of financial ruin,
the loss of the support to which she is en-
titled.
The woman has invested the labor of her
life in her husband. She has worked as hard
as he has, but the result of her toll has gone
to him. He owns the dollars and cents she
has saved by walking to save carfare, by
pairing the potatoes a little thinner, by dress
ing shabbily and doing without the million
little things that women crave. He owns
the house that her hands have helped earn,
and that is as dear to her as a part of her
own life.
To take her home away from such woman
is to tear her very soul out of her body. To
throw her out in the world to make living
is like casting child out into jungle in the
night The very thought of it makes her
turn faint with terror. She would not know
which way to turn. She is as ignorant as a
babe of commercial usages, and the gainful
professions that younger women follow. She
could not even be a servant, for the woman
who has been mistress of her own house finds
it hard to adapt herself to another woman's
whims.
And yet this woman's husband is trying
to get rid of her, and she asks what shall
she do? There are those who would tell her
to wait patiently, and her husband, in the
end, will come back to her faithful love after
he has tired of lighter loves I do not be-
lieve this is true I am not one of the opti-
mists who hold that there is any resurrec-
ton Of affection. think that dead love is
the deadest of all dead things and that when
a fire has burned itself out there is no re-
kind1ing of the gray ashes.
When woman finds out she has lost her

members in France or CUBA. as IL happens
usually he Is right.
The men of this kind, when questioned
by the local police, will confess to having
lost the leg becau.e of railroad accident or
some other way not in any way associated
with war. This is true of nearly every one
of them.
Merchants object strongly to these men
parking themselves on the sidewalk In front
of their places of business, but often are
helpless The same situation exists in re-
gard to pushcart vendors of fruit and celery
and the sidewalk dispenser Of flowers. The
police tried and failed to force negro to
give up selling flowers on a busy corner in
big department stores. The judge before
whom this man was hailed pointed out that
he could not under existing law IND him
guilty of anything forbidden. This man still
occupies the same public space, and does
rushing business.
To return to the fake war veterans, once
in while one Of them talks himself into
trouble. This happened a few months ago
when man wearing Marine Corps uniform
invaded restaurant, selling bits of red,
white and blue ribbon for Is cents each. He
approached everybody Systematically, finally
hating, for several minutes beside man in
civilian clothes who seemed deeply sympa-
thetic. The pretended veteran, tc supply 10
cal color and make his tale convincing, wore
on one sleeve four gold stripes, indicating
a service of two years overseas, couple of
wound stripes on the sleeve, and enough
campaign badges on the breast of his blouse
to include every military expedition in which
the United States has taken part since the
war of 1912. ...g.
Talked Himself Into Trouble
The sympathetic civilian seemed particu
larly interested in the service badges. The
panhandler pointed out to him ribbons sup
posedly representing service in France serv-
ice on the Mexican border, the Vera Cruz ex-
petition, and several others, running back
more than score of years. He said he was
one of the marines who landed at Vera Cruz
from a certain battleship. The civilian gave
him quarter and hurriedly left the cafe.
A few minutes later he came back with a
policeman and warrant.

WHAT SHALL SHE DO?

allure for man; when he no longer thrills
at her touch, or yearns for her presence;
when he sees her as a burden upon his back
instead of the object of his desires, then she
is wise If she kisses love good-by, and nails
the coffin down over it's face, and goes about
seeking her happiness in some other direc-
toin, instead of wasting time Va1nly trying
to galvanize a corpse into some semblance
of life.
Of course it is true that if woman is job
like enough to wait patiently through the
years, keeping the home fires burning, the
wandering husband may come back at last
to have his rheumatism nursed in his old
age, but he isn't worth waiting for, and a
woman should do something better with her
life than make of it house Of refuge for a
dilapidated old rounder.
"But what shall do?" asks the woman,
II don't want divorce"
Yet 1t seems to me that, the only thing that
a woman can do under the circumstance is
to SELL her husband divorce, and to make
him buy his freedom of her at the very high
est price that she can possibly wiring out OF
him. And get cash on the nail. Unless
man has real estate it is practically impos-
sib1e to collect alimony. There are a hum
dred ways in which he can avoid paying that,
and, besides, she saves friction If she has
done with him, once and for all.
The man who is tired enough of his wife to
tell her so, and that he wants to be rid OF
her, will pay all that he can for his freedom,
and prudence as well as pride, should make
her close out her interest in him, as making
the best of bad bargain. She had as well
face the facts that her matrimonial partner
ship is bankrupt, anyway, and that she had
better salvage what she can.
Then let her turn her back upon the past
and start a new life. Let her take stock OF
to her her most promising talent. No woman
can live to be middle-aged without discover
ing that she has an aptitude for some one
particular line of work, or developing, a
special interest in some particular subject.
Sewing, running boarding house, keeping
dodgers, raising chickens, or pigs, or flowers,
all of these open UP profitable avenues OF &C.
cupation to the middle-aged woman VINO Is
too old to become a bookkeeper or stenogra-
pher or clerk, and who has no gift for the
professions.
And the deserted wife who cuts the Cor
dian knot by definitely breaking off relation
ship with her husband who wants to be rid
of Ier, will find that there is a great peace
in fnality. The thing is ended. She is no
longer tortured by watching and waiting Tor
his return. His insults have ceased to stab
her She is no more cringing dog, begging
for a kind word. She has regained her. self
respect and dignity by being with people who
want her instead of a hanger-or Of one who
was tired of her.
There are so many things in the world
for women besides love- Two of them are
work and money, and they are a pretty good
substitute for renegade husband.

The L;v;;nq pdst

A MAN of great possessions and Of rare
~ talent along certain lines exclaim-
= ed robustiously the other day, when
asked if he cared for history, "Why, no!
What is it to us how the ancient Greeks flew
their kites?'
Poor, vain beggar! Ignorance should be
humble, as wisdom ever is, but too often it
is puffingly proud. What does 'it matter
how the Greeks flew their kites? We'll, it
may matter to the extent of priceless lnven-
lions and wondrous material conquests, let
alone rich revealments of the human spirit.
Once upon time Ben Franklin flew kite:
and behold, new worlds famed into man
kinds mastery! In that same starry king
dom of Once Upon a Time, most that now
greatly concerns us came to pass. The minds
that shone thousand years ago, the hearts
that burned high in the day when Odysseus
sailed for Troy own, the very leaves and
sunbeams that sank to earth millions OF
ages gone, are all dynamic today IN our
thought and deed, lighting up the world
kindling us to CO lrage, serving the lowl1est
and mightiest needs.
That eminent engineering scientist, AL
fred Korzybski reckons that on the earth to-
day there are three distinct populations, all
active. One consists of what we are wont
to call Giving" men, of whom there are
about one billion six hundred million; an
other of the continuing energies of what we
term the dead ten billion man-powers,
say; and third of the "sun man-power,"
which lay stored as coal long aeons before
it was used or humanity conjectured. If all
the legacies of the times preceding us were
blotted out, this scientist fgures-that is,
if the highways, structures, implements, in
ventions and such like, to which we fell heir
were snatched away-"it would require at
least eight men to do the work now done
by one"
So mucL for muscle. Add the imperish-
able powers of mind transmitted, and how
like the sea for vastness and the stars for
number shines our debt to the past! Our
debt to the first shepherds who wondered
about those stars, to the skin-clad adventur-
ers who first dared sail beyond the sunset
isles, to Homer and Isaiah st. Francis and
Shakespeare, to Leonardo, Calico, Beethov-
en-, to- Salamis, to Tours, to Trafalgar,
to those who kept the faith It Valley Forge,
to those who wore the shining knighthood
that was Lees! Care, for history? We must
care for it if we are to think beyond our
noses end. Grateful to the past? Grateful to
it we must be, and open to it's teaching, If
we are to do our duty by the present and
have vision to look forward.

YOUR SOUL

Italian doctors say that post-mortem ex-
animation of Caruso's throat showed that
his vocal cords were twice the normal length.
Carusos lung power also was phenome-
nal. His lungs were so strong; so energy
creating that he could make the cords of a
piano vibrate by merely breathing on them.
"Caruso,"~ say the learned doctors, twas a
magnificent singing machine, from head to
foot. That explains why he was master
singer" y
The doctors are wrong. Caruso was the
greatest singer of all the 1900, 900, 900
people on earth. But unquest1onably, there
were thousands of others whose lungs vocal
cords and so on were duplicates of Caruso's.
Did you ever hear of them as singers? No.
Without this equipment, Caruso would not
have been a great singer.
But the thing that made him marvel of
song was his soul.
Paderewski. He "can make the piano talk"
That is genius. Millions of other piano play
ers can use the same piano and produce only
mediocre music.
So with the physical or bodily instruments
of music, possessed by Caruso. His music
was in his soul. You can't play the finest
harp with a hammer.
Your body has been defined by philoso-
pliers as ''the temple of your SOUL" 1t is the
machine through which your soul expresses
itself.
Using your body as a machine or a fine
collection Of tools, you can accomplish things
that others could not do with the same
equipment.
The great driving force of personality is
separate from the body.
The body goes back to dust. The mystic
rious spiritual being-which uses the body
to express itselt-goes on forever. No dis
secting knife, no microscope can explain it.

Better Market;nq

~ EPORTS indicate steadily increasing in

periments in Georgia, and in most
cases the result has been satisfactory. Spald-
ing county Tuesday shipped carload of
chickens, the purchase price aggregating
$4,350, which was diverted into the chan
nels of trade.
The chickens were not all pure-bred birds
but the price paid was in excess of one dol
lar EACH which furnished a substantial
profit. The advantages of cooperative mar
keting is being demonstrated throughout the
State. Efforts that have been made to
standardize and popularize Georgia products
are beginning to bear fruit, but the posi-
bilities are almost unlimited.
In many counties cooperative sales are
being made through the local farm demon
stration agent, who is familiar with the re-
quirements.
Recently carload of seventy-five hogs, as
sembled at Griffin, brought $1,240. A car
load of sweet potatoes was sold at the
highest market price. The Griffin-Spald-

products and there is general satisfaction

TREATING GRAVITY WITH
LEVITY

Scientific journals are predicting that in
ventors one of these days will stumble on
way to make an airplane stand still in the
air without falling.
Many bright minds are working on tnc
problem now.
An invention of this nature would put
man close to the absolute conqueripg OF grav-
ity. In a faint way the pull of gravity on
lead and some other substances has been
reduced in scientific laboratories.
Suppose that man learns how to free him.
self from gravity. What then?
For one thing hard labor could be made
easy. A moving van man, with an ant1-grav-
ity device, could make piano as easily
handled as a feather.
Heavy freight trains would become light.
With gravity under control, friction would
be reduced.
Flying would become safe and simple, no
machine required. Man, regulating his
weight, could fly with silk wings attached to
his arms.
All this, you say, sounds like pipe
dream? Admitted. But not more of pipe
dream than the moving picture, wireless or
airplane would have been considered even as
late as Abraham Lincoln's day
Gravity is a natural force.
Man, if he follows far enough the road he
is now travelling, will wind up with all
natural forces harnessed-under control.

STEEL AIRPLANES WEIGH
LESS THAN WOODEN ONES

London, Sept. 23.-Great Britain
possesses an all-steel bombing air.
plane, a distinct departure in aerial
construction. Except for its canvas
wings the entire machine is built of
steel. Nevertheless, it is four per
cent lighter than a wooden airplane
of the same dimensions.
The claim is made that this machine
shows a great advantage over Ger
man airplanes constructed of alumni
mum alloy. which is said to lack the
strength of British steel. 1t is equip
ped with two Napier 1000-horsepower
engines. Although designed as fast
long distance bomber, it is said to be
as easy to maneuver as little fight
ing scout. This is because of its steel
construction, which permits the
grouping of all weights.
Advantages claimed for all steel
airplanes are greater strength, in
creased load carrying capacity, ease
of manufacturing in large numbers,
and the fact that they are less vul-
nerable to bullets and shrapnel while
flying, and also that they are virtually
fireproof.
