KIDDING ONESELF ON
BUILDING PROGRAM.

A common expression is, Il
won't build now as cost of con-
struction is too high.
Incomes have increased pro-
portionately to cost of construc
ton and the man who does not
demand every newfangled con-
traption can build with his pres
ent-day income and have a larg
er margin left than would nave
been possible in 1913.
Don't blame the present build
ing costs entirely on to lumber
and labor. Remember that in
nine cases out of ten your ideas
of what you want have expand
ed with your income and you
would not be satisfied today
with the 1913 bungalow.
Taxes at 500, insurance at
$50, repairs and upkeep at 500
and per cent interest on a
$4,000 house amounts to
$3.50 a year.
If you pay $50 a month rent
for nine years you have $5400
worth of rent receipts worth
nothing. If you put $50 month
into a home for five years even
if it was necessary to cut out a
few theater parties or clothes
to make up interest etc, until
the property was paid for, you
would have an asset worth PROB
ably more than $4,000 at the
end of nine years and your fam
lily would have a roof over its
head which could not be taken
away from them for failure to
pay "a months rent.
Don't kid yourself, you can
own, home as well today as you
eould ten years ago ifsyou want
to. 1t is not the cost Of building
that will prevent YOU it us the
cost Of satisfying your inflated
demands for Injuries and mod
ern extravagances,

OUTRUNNING
TILE. MARATHONER.

When 10000 ancient Greeks
drove the Persian hordes from
the plains of Marathon, they at
once dispatched courier to
Athens to bear intelligence OF
their victory.
1t took the messenger hours TO
reach the city, End so bteathless
was he that, as the people throng.
ed eagerly about him to hear
the news, he merely gasped,
Victory is ours"-and fell dead.
That was several hundred years
B. C.
Today, the papers of the world
would get the news almost SIM
ultaneously with its happening,
slap extras on their presses, and
shortly the thrilling story would
be in the hands of some millions
of readers.
Papers have supplanted the
courier, multiplied his effective
ness and increased his speed
hundred-fold. Not only does the
newspaper make public the news
in the world of events but it
also keeps our information up
to-date on every articles of hu-
man need, whether food, cloths

SOME WORTHWHILE WORK
FOR THE LEGISLATURE.


The summer session of the
Georgia Legislature, from pres
:ent indication, promises to hold
boards the full limit of time al
lowed by law. From all accounts,
there will be plenty doing, but
our guess sthat they will waste
much valuable time in frivolities,
as every Legislature before them
have done, and then at the last
minute rush really important
measures which have little time
for consideration.
All state institutions are call
ing for more money, some of
these appeals worthy, some are
not. 1t will surprise the most Of
folks in this state to know that
even now the appropriations
which were made by the legis-
llature of 1921-1922 are still I'M
paid, Surely this next legislature
will do something to put the
state in a better financial con-
dition, and this can be done by
wedding out good many use
less jobs. Georgia is great
states and all that is necessary to
bring its government and its de-
partments and institutions up
to-date could be done easily in
month if these solons would
cut out politics; stop wasting the
public money in palavering and
get down to business. Then quit
and go home.
1t seems to us that the legis-
lature could not go far wrong
than to endorse the project of
State Port and Terminals at Saw
annah, for this will afford the
cooperative truckers in Georgia
I and especially on the line of rail
roads going into Savannah. This
will provide the medium needed,
and will prove to be the solu-
ton of this whole problem of
marketing, as we view it. It is
designed to give the producers
warehousing and cold storage
facilities equal to the best in
the land and a handling and ship
ping equipment of the most eco
nomical type.

The Albany Herald continues
to preach the virtue Of co-opera-
ton. Editor Mcintosh said re-
Gently.
"The farmers of South Geor-
gia have gained a rather clear
idea of the value of co-opera-
ton in marketing the products
of their fields and orchards.
They have studied conditions
carefully, and they believe they
see the great possibilities which
will result from applying to
their own problems the practices
which have proved so helpful in
other state. There is reason to
hope for a more prosperous
South Georgia in the coming
years as the farmers receive for
what they produce the prices
which represent something like
the real value of the fruits of
their foresight and industry"
In a Florida community where
there were a good many farmers
who believed in the superiority
of the razorback hog, the coun-
~ agent selected a man who
would be honest in feeding and
weighing and who had the CON
fidence of his neighbors. The
county agents placed on his farm
a razorback, a grade; and pure
bred pig for fattening. They
were all put in pens side by side
and fed the same kind and
amount of feed. In ninety days
the purebred had gained eighty
seven pounds, the grade seventy
three pounds, and the razorback
forty-five pounds.
