CURRENT COMMENT.

Cincinnati Enquirer Those members OF
congress who in the cloak room are against
the law granting extra compensation 10 the
World war soldiers and who are for it in the
open are becoming highly amusing in their
efforts to run with the hare and hunt with the
hounds They now propose to enact the law
and to give the soldiers certificates payable az
some time in the indefinite future This pro-
posed performance strongly recalls the, cele-
brated wastrel who, when run to earth by MS
creditors, gave them a note and, then signing
in relief, said: We'll, praise be- that's PAID
President Harding has pointed out the only
course these jugglers can pursue: They can
adopt the legislation and provide for the pay
ment OF the soldiers by imposing ? sales tax
or they can postpone action until tairer days
dawn upon the economic world It does not
require an unusually strong mentality to make
choice between these alternatives, but 1t
does call for some courage. This last condi-
ton may explain the unconscionably long de-
Law in the decision for which the country has
been anxiously waiting.

HOME RAISED RICE.

Editor Flanders, OF the Della Star, has
discovered that Irwin county grown rice
is more wholesome and palatable than
the average article OF commerce. The
same discovery awaits others who will
try it. Not only is this rice the best, but
it can be raised by the farmers OF this
section at profit for home use No 9th
er kind should be sold in the stores OF
this secton-Tifton Gazette.
This discovery was made in Terrell coun
ty some years ago, when Hon. John R Mer
Ger. to encourage the raising OF rice for thei
own use by farmers OF this section, supplieC
them with seed rice at cost and installed
rice hulling machine to clean the homegrown
product. All Of the natural sweetness anG
nutrition is retained by the homegrown rice
There is as much difference between 1t anC
the highly polished commercial rice as there
is between juicy and savory country han
and the strong, unpalatable packing hous|
product. Our contemporary is right; therl
should be more homegrown rice on George
fables

UNCLE SANS BILL.

The French government has expressed a
sense OF outrage and the Germans have
laughed derisively at the presentation by the
Washington government OF this country S
bill for two hundred and twenty-one million
dollars, the cost of its military occupation Of
the Rhneland. France tells the United
States, in effect, to go to. It snaps its fingers
at us, and tells us, Collect from Germany
if you can; otherwise, there's nothing do
ing" France is doing itself no service by
such an attitude OF defiance and ingratitude
The United States government acted who'll
ly within its rights in presenting its bill for
reimbursement 1t is proper that the bill
should be presented at this time 1t does not
merit criticism for having done what is clearly
its duty 1t would have been open to criti-
cism had it been less vigilant.
Europe has been coddled long enough. II
is time to do some thinking about the United
States

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
THE DESCENT OF MAN

l point with pride to that old monkey who
sired the human race, by hunky A faulty
race both then and now yet even pessimists
allow he started something anyhow. When
man first slid down from the trees, soughed
off his tail, unkinked his knees, forsook his
safe old forest seat and stood straight up on
his hind feet he was homely husky dub
who scorned the weekly cleansing tub and
ruled his soul-mate with a club. And when
she talked OF rights, l ween. he did not fuss
nor make a scene but bouncing big shoulders
off her bean. That female OF the species bluff
he called it quick and called it rough He let
his hair and whiskers sprout save when some
rival yanked them out, He ate raw meat both
hair and hide then crunched the bones Tor fat
inside. We view this caveman with disgust
when his rude manners are discussed. In age,
in middle life and youth his roughneck ways
were most uncouth Yet what we think Of
that old cuss our sons will doubtless think
OF us. Give me the man whose tools had
stoneheads instead OF certain modern bone
heads Sleek citizens who fail to vote buy

FRIGHTENING UP DAWSON.

The usual cleanup week OF the Woman S
Club was not put on March 10th, in accord
ance with Governor Hardwick's proclamation,
but the delay does not mean indifference to
this vitality important movement. The city
officials are doing some fine work in the way
OF improving the streets, and individuals are
busy with identifying their premises by 4
general cleanup for making the town more
sanitary and adding to the attractiveness OF
the residence section by putting in flower
beds, planting roses, vines, etc A strict en-
forcement of the ordinance against throwing
paper and other trash in the streets would
do more than anything that could be sug-
gested for giving the city neat appearance.

CROP ACREAGES.

Little can be said at the present time re-
garding probable crop acreages and yields
for the current year. At present it seems
likely that corn acreage will be reduced,
while more cotton will be planted than in
1921. Winter wheat prospects are not good;
snow covering has been inadequate, and
there have been other unfavorable factors.
such as the dust storms that recently did
much damage in Kansas, Such is the fore
cast that has been made. 1t is really too
early. however, to attempt any definite fore
casts as to 1922 agricultural production. How
can it be other than guess work at this pc
riod2 But the optimism of the farmer is al
most proverbial and he will go ahead and
plant and cultivate and carry through the
harvest regardless OF whether the forecast IS
GOOD or bad

A New York scientist travelled way down
to Caledonia Mills, Nova Scotia, to see a
ghost In all his experiences in physical and
ocult research he had never seen ghost
and as this Antigonish ghost had gotten so
familiar with humans as to rap them over
the head he thought he might have good
chance to see one. But though he remained
in the haunted" house all night armed with
scientific apparatus constructed to detect the
presence OF apparitions, he saw absolutely
nothing, and did not hear step, a creak or
a groan. If the house is haunted" the ghost
evidently concluded to steer clear OF electric
wires and bells, and another nine days won
der" was exploded.

A WORLD ON ITS LAST LEGS.

New York World: There is comfort for
those cheerless people who believe that the
world is on its last legs. Scientists are back
ing them up. DR.. Vaughn, the health comm1s-
sioner of Detroit, asserts that IN 10000 years
there will be no human legs at all.
1t is a startling prediction, coming as it
does at time when the visible supply OF
legs is larger and more beautiful than ever.
1t seems incredible that legs should fade out
of the picture With what shall generations
OF that far future walk? All, says Dr. Vaughn,
that's Just it; the race is going to lose its
legs because it doesn't use them any more.
We must remember that DR.. Vaughn is in
a position to be pessimistic. He is in Detroit,
where almost everybody lives on and in mo-
tor cars Infants instead OF being taught to
toddle are shown how to throw out the clutch
shift the gears and slip into first speed; that
is, all except the Ford babies, who don't
have to bother with gear shifting.
Arms, too, will disappear about the same
time that legs depart unless, says Dr. Vaughn,
Is the doctor suggesting that modern folk
are not working hard enough2 1t sounds that
way The world needs to be reminded that
unless it keeps its biceps in order there will
be no tennis tournaments III a hundred cen
turtles or So Without legs, no dancing. With
out arms, no baseball All the sports OF the
distant future will be telepathic. The Babe
Ruths of the period will swat the ball with
the bat of thought. The JOe Rays will run
miles on the tracks of their minds. The Jack
Dempseys will assault their opponents with
the punch of pure reason.

BANK ROBBERS KEEP POSTED

From the Camilla Enterprise.
Bank robbers have evidently decided that
southwest Georgia banks are in above the
average condition as to cash on hand judging
by recent attempts to crack bank safes in this
section. 1t is not as easy to rob country
bank now, however, as it once was. Most Of
the small banks are provided with excellent
facilities for protecting the funds in their
vaults, and even the expert safe-cracker can
not gain an entrance to some OF them. Then,
too. the average small town has better police
protection than was the case a few years
back and night providers are almost sure to
run into brave officer who must be disposed
OF, as was the case in Arlington, before a
robbery can be successfully carried out

Editor Boatwright, OF the Swainsboro For

Editor Boatwright OF the Swainsboro For
est-Blade, noting how times do change,
says: Only few years ago it was deemed
very improper to call a leg a leg-one even
blushed to call it a limb-but now we call
everything by its right name without even
the thought OF a blush, even when talking to
the ladies'" Times have changed, indeed. It
hasn't been so very long ago that if a gen
tleman so far forgot himself, when in thu
presence of a lady, as to refer to ones leg he
would have been shot before sunrise-if he
could have been found. And the world is none
the worse for having discarded lot OF its
prudery.

Georgia Raises the Best.
From the Sparta Tribune.

The Jenkins county farmers have taken the
Irish potato route away from hard times. A
cooperative Irish potato association was
formed at Millen last week for the purpose
of advancing the potato raising industry and
Ito provide markets for the crop. There is
mo reason why a Georgia raised Irish po-
tato should not find as ready purchaser as
does the Florida potato. which has been a
great money maker Tor truck gardeners in
the Land OF Flowers. Florida raises no crop
of anything better than IS raised in Geor~
gia. Nor does any other state in the Amer-
can union.

of cigarettes that once sold for ten cents. He
will also patronize bootlegger, while his
