ARE YOU
BY Ed. WALKER

a COMMON and frequent complaint
nowadays among self-esteemed
young men and women is that they
are not making satisfactory progress.
With more or less petulance they
declare that their incomes are not
sufficient to keep them in the style
in which they want TO live.
Instead of being compelled to de-
pend on popular shops for their
clothes. they yearn TO be in position
to %patronlze higll-priced tailors and
dressmakers. and thus In their false
estimation keep step with the rich
by making repeated shows of fine
feathers.
The plebian atmosphere in which
these hapless mortals are surrounded
is most displeasing.
Any real effort to improve their
mental qualifications is apart from
the question. and contrary TO their
inmost wishes.
Though apostles of laxity, devotees
of empty pleasures and deyout dis.
ciples ut the shrine of pr~odlgallty,
these ~disgruntled young men and
women openly blame the world for
their imagined plight, often condemn
ing their employers for holding them
down, when as a matter of fact their
employers have nothing whatever to
do with II.
The man or woman who Is really
DESTROYS of rising TO the surface
where he or she can swim with head
above water must pull a hard, con-
tinuous stroke. quite regardless Of
what others are doing.
Ii Is the only way to keep at the
top and keep moving ahead.
Drifting Is perilous to everybody
who INDUCES In II, certain in the end
to lead TO disaster by wrecking the
fondest hopes and highest aspirations.
In spite of our Wanted pride of
progress, drifting Is becoming a na-
tional habit, particularly among the
puny-minded who bend their knee to
the god OF gold rather than to the
god of wisdom.
Every good thing in life Is meas
ured by such persons with the tape
bearing the dollar mark and its deci-
mails, even morality, friendship and
love.
Yet alas. these handlers of this
Ubiquitous tape line %perserscly la
ment their position In life and condemn
the irresponsible for faults and fail
ures that are their own
To make yourself worthy in any
calling II Is necessary 10 prove your
worthiness.
And this cannot be done except by
honest %endeavor, long hours of hard
work and a manifest willingness
always to put personal industry above
personal indulgence.

INDICATION OF LAYING HENS
Spread Of Distance Apart OF Pelvic
Bones Is Valuable Sign of
Fowls Condition.

As n hen stops laying there is a
tendency for her to take on fat. This
IS noticeable in examining the pelvic
bones. the two bones which can be
felt rs points on either side OF the
vent. When the hen IS laying these
bones become comparatively thin and
flexible. When she Is not lnying they
feel thicker and less flexible, due TO
the fat which has accumulated there.
The spread of distance apart Of these
polvIc bones Is alse a valuable indica-
tlon of whether or not the hen Is lay
ing. When laying they are wider apart
than when not laying.

Of stock to as many business men

sales manager and secure warehouse
space for those commodities which
will have to be handled through
warehouse. This organization will
begin operations by handling a limit
ed number of farm products until
sufficieht efficiency is reached to
warrant taking over additional pro-
due. In the beginning it will han
die vegetables, poultry products,
cream, sweet potatoes, small grain,
home cured hams, and take over the
live stock sales as handled now by
the county agent. This is an under
taking for the benefit of the farmer
and merchant alike" 1t is seen at
once that Americas hopes to become
in fact and not in theory the market
ing center for Sumter county.
Through Americas it is planned to
market every thing produced in Sum-
ter county. This is the type of spirit
that will make all the cities of South
Georgia grow. A city must learn
that it is under responsibility to serve
its surrounding territory. A "sur-
rounding territory" is not going to
waste much attention upon city,
even though it be the largest city
in the territory, if that city is self
centered and looking wholly to its
own financial interest. The brains
of growing city must function so
as to think in larger units than city
limits. Americas is now thinking in
terms of Sumter county as a unit.
This kind of thinking will bring new
growth to Americas. We hone the
immediate future will see all the de-
tails of this plan for marketing Sum-
ter county products worked out.
