MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin Cobb

After the latest election, the members of
the speakers bureau of Tammany Hall had
banquet to celebrate the Democratic vic
tory in New York. The newly elected lieu
tenant governor, George w. Lunn, came
down from upstate to sit at the guest table
and join his political brethren in the love
feast
After several dependable local orators had
been heard, the POSTMASTER, an old Tam
many war-horse, called upon Mr.. Lunn for
q speech. In introducing Lunn, the toast
master rather goaded at him for some of
his personal beliefs. He said that Lunn for
merly had shown Socialistic leanings and
that he still was Prohibitionist. In fact,
as the saying goes, he rather got under
Lunn's skin.
Slowly the latter rose to his feet,
"Gentlemen,'' he said, "the usages Of po-
lite society and the nature Of this occasion
conspire to prevent me from telling your
chairman exactly what I think of him for
his remarks in presenting me to this distin-
guished mblage. But his words and my
reaction to those words bring to mind an in
cident which happened not long ago. l am
going to tell you the story of that incident
and If, in the point of it, the gentleman sees
a personal application, | shall not be sorry.
Some three months ago, fourteen Of us
were waiting in line at the Grand Central
station to purchase fares on outgoing trains.
Some among us had but a few minutes to
spare. All of us, naturally, were in a hurry
to transact the business and get ourselves
and our luggage aboard the cars.
'All of a sudden an inebriated person burst
like an alcoholic bombshell among US. Ignor-
ing the rules Of procedure, he showed his
way to the front, elbowing and jostling those
already in line, until he reached the ticket
window. Upon the shelf he slammed down
quarter and nickel and in loud voice
stated his wishes.
"'Gimme ticket for San Francisco he
said.
"'You can't go to San Francisco for thirty
cents stated the ticket-seller.
"'Well, where can l go, then?' he asked.
"And with one voice, gentlemen, all four

The boy had been on the job for about a

The March Of the Cooberatives

The March of the Cooberat1ves
r-HE mastering of two thousand new
members for the Georgia Cotton Grow
ers' Cooperative Association in the
short month of February bears striking wit
ness both to the intrinsic worth and to the
waxing popularity of that now well-trfed ip-
stitution. It's record for the first twelve
month of it's operation is one to win conf
dence from the most prudent as well as from
the most progressive. Not only has it stood
the critical tests encountered by every new
conner in the business field, but also has
achieved notable measure of service and
success Through the markedly higher aver
age of prices procured for the cotton of it's
members, as compared with that of morgan
lied sales, it has demonstrated afresh the
economy, the security, and the profitableness
of cooperative farm marketing, Seeing that
this record is paralleled in seven other cot

The February recruits, two thousand
strong, are from, Tiff, Coffee and Berrlen,
and from Stewart, Schley, Marion and Web

aggregate of thirty thousand bales of cotton,
from which fact may be inferred the signtfi-
canoe Of their accession to the Association S

membership campaign now opening in Tel

THE GREATEST POLITICAL
BOOK
Bv DR.. Frank Crane

wish to state without reservation that
the greatest political book I know of-that Is.
the book that contains the information most
necessary to the people of the United States
lis the book entitled 1.-THE Machine Abo-
lshed and the People Restored to Power by
the ORGANIZATION of All the People on the
Lines of Party Organization" 1t is by Charles
C. P. Clark, M. D., and was published In 1900!
It is not new book, therefore, Dur an old
one and one that seems not to have acquired
much note.
question which is far and away above any
other question in Importance to the govern"
ment of the United States.
It shows how, under the present system
of party organization an entirely inadequate
system of choosing officials continues to per-
petuate itself. 1t shows how this system
originated under natural conditions.
1t discusses the underlying difficulty, which
is that popular elections work well in small,
and i'll in large, constituencies, and that the
party system grew up as necessity as the
United States developed out OF Jew scat
tered colonies into vast nation. 1t demon
strates that because people have not realzeo
the necessity for altering their election ma
chinery they have accquiesced IN system
that has become evil.
1t gives a striking example Of how the lit
tie community of Oswego almost unanimously
decided to change their system OF electlonS
and how this decision was set aside by the
party politicians who saw in it the danger OF
losing their jobs.
It gives to any understanding mind the
reason why politics is supposed to be unclean
and why most people want to have nothing
to do with politics. It is not politics that is
unclean; it is the party organization. And
as long as no man can achieve position OF
political influence without the party organiza-
tion behind him we shall probably hear QUIZ
leaders continue to impress upon us the Ms"
cessity of political parties
ANY movement to do away with the poltt1"
cal party must start with those who are not
in any office, for the moment man in Office
sets himself against the party he is silenced.

and wanted to use it efficiently l would do
my best to get this book into the hands OF
every high school student and to require
every school boy and school girl in the United
States to read it.

TIES lawfully good to his MOTHER.

- But somehow or someway or other,
That doesn't mean much to me.
The record that Id be seeing
Conveniently compiled,

And somebody else's child?

His cubs and his savage mate,
But leave all the rest to perish,
Oblivious of their fate;
But a Maxwell, mans designed to

And somebody else's brother,
And somebody else's sister.

CEMETERY ASSN. TO
 CHOOSE OFFICERS Organization Pounded Nearly Cen. tury Ago to Convene Tomorrow WILL SUE FOR DIVORCE
Rev. Watson Woodruff Completes second Yoar--Childrcn Prepare Tor Paccant--East Berlin in Favor or Fire District-Othcr Items.

The Wilcox Cemetery association an organization having charge of eeme- tery founded probably 100 years ago, will hold it's annual meeting and elec- ton of officers at the home of E. w. Mildrum, East Berlin, at 7:45 o'clock tomorrow evening.
 The present association was formed in 1882, Samuel Wilcox, father or Frank l.. Wilcox, being instrumental in organizing the group. Mir. Will cox about that time gave the asso- citation a tract of land which was added to the land already possessed as a cemetery. The original grant was made by Daniel Wilcox, one Of the early settlers in Berlin and an ancestor of Frank Wilcox.
 Daniel Wilcox, besides being one of the early settlers, was one of the biggest land owners in this section of the country. He was also the founder of the Wilcox family in Berlin.
 When the present association was formed it took over the cemetery and assumed the duties of keeping the tract in good condition. Previous to the formation of the present or- ganization there was no regular asso- citation for the care of the cemetery, it being done by individuals. How ever, these men formed some sort of an association, the nature of which is not known
 The present officers of the Wilcox Cemetery association are: President Frank l.. Wilcox; vice-president, E. c. Morgan; secretary, Ernest W. Mill drum; treasurer, X. A. North. These men, together with Robert 0. Clark, form the board of trustees.
 Sues for Divorce.

 Mrs. Konapatzki asks a divorce, the right to resume her own name and the custody Of the 3-year-old child of the couple. The action Is returnable in the superior court the first Tuesday in January.
 Blossoms on Trees.
 Strange things happen in the south end of Berlin. Members of the Edelson family came into Berlin this morning with stories of blossoms on A plum tree. It Is also stated that a small shrub at the Louis Edelson homestead has sprouted leaves.
 People Favor Fire District

 It is expected that there will be a large attendance at the meeting a week from Friday.
