According to Mr.. Won Stroheim. who

college education represents repres-

contrary to some opinions, the win

must have.

acting, said Mr.. Won Stroheim specif-
ically. "a college education seems to
me to be an excellent thing. Most mo-

more thought and more restraint. If
university education teaches the

AS soon as they were sure that

and that is something to be thankful

again find such a good home as the
one we have just left.'
They didn't find a place to suit them
that day, so the next day they con-
tinued their journey. Nanny was
very hard to please. Danny found
several places that he thought would
found fault. If it wasn't one thing
II was another that was wrong. Each
time Danny cheerfully said, "All
right. my dear, we will look some
where else"
So at last they came to the edge
of Farmer Browns cornfield. For a
while they followed along the fence.
Nanny became tired and stopped to
rest and to eat a big grasshopper
which she had caught. Danny kept
tance when just at the foot Of a post
he found something that was new and
strange TO him. 1t was an empty
square can lying on one side In one
end was q smooth, round hole. That
hole was just about big enough for
Danny to slip through easily. The
can was old and rusty. OF course.
Danny didn't know 1t was a can. He
didn't know anything about cans. He
tried his teeth on it and found he
couldn't knaw it at all. At first he
was afraid to go inside. but after a
while he gained courage. The can
was empty.
Danny came out again and went all
around that old can. 1t was quite
hidden in the tall grass that grew
along the fence. Danny's little black
eyes snapped 1oyously. He felt that
he had made a great find. This thing

The Poetry of Brotherhood.

: ''Oh. magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together
-Ps.xxxiy.3.
The fault, or at least the danger. of
modern lyrical poetry is that it Is too
solitary and separate in its tone.
1t tends toward exelusiveness, over
refinement, morbid sentiment.
Many Christian hymns suffer from
this defect
But the Psalms breathe a spirit of
human fellowship even when they are
most intensely personal.
The poet rejoices or mourns in Solf-
tude, it may be, but not alone
He Is one of the people.
He is conscious always of the ties
that bind him to his brother men.
Compare the intense selfishness of
the modern hymn: :
II can but perish if ! go;
i am resolved to try;
For If stay away, know 81.
/ shall forever die
with the generous penitence Of the
Fifty-firSt Psalm:
Then will teach transgressors thy way:
And sinners shall be converted unto thee. ="

SAVANNAH HAS DEBT
.OF S4O43 PER CAPITA
Total Tax Receipts There During
Past Tax Year Were $27.25
Per Capita, Report Shows

WASHINGTON, Sept 10.-The
Department of Commerce announ-
ces that according to reports made
to the Bureau of Census the costs
Of government for the City of Sa-
vannah, Ga, for the fiscal year
ended December 81, 1922, amount
ed to $2,466,448, which was
per capita cost Of $28.13. In 1917
the per capita cost was $23.15, and
in 1914, $21.39, the totals for
these years being 81, 824,829 ana
$1,572,216, respectively. The per
capita costs for 1922 consisted of
expenses of general departments,
1927; expenses of public service
enterprises, 1924; payments for
interest, $3.50; and for outlays,
1892.
The total revenue receipts for
1922 were $2,389,070, or $27.25
per capita. The per capita excess
of governmental costs over revenue
receipts was, therefor $0.88.
In Savannah property taxes rep
resented 400 per cent of the total
revenue for 1922, $50 per cent for
1917, and 48.8 per cent for 1914.

adjacent to Americas as at pres
ent, though it is planned to in
crease the ice cream output during
next summer.
Srcaking today of the creamery
and the method Of operations to
be pursued, Mr.. Wilson stated
that in the beginning he does not
plan to install cream routes, but
that farmers having cream, sweet
or sour, to offer may ship this into
the creamery here, or bring it
there, and their entire output will
be taken. In fact one factor that
just now is causing the promoters
Of the enterprise to wrinkle their
brows is the cream supply. In or
der to manufacture 1000 pounds
of butter daily will require sup
ply Of Approximately 400 gallons
OF sweet or sour cream daily, and
it is expected that farmers will
supply this amount in order that
the creamery may operate at full
capacity from the beginning.
Farmers who bring their cream
to the creamery will be paid in
cash upon delivery and this de-
livery need not be confined to any
, particular day, but may be ar
ranged to suit the convenience Of
the producer. All that will be nee
essary for the farmer is to bring in
his cream and deliver this on the
platform at the dairy here. After
the cream is delivered to the
creamery it is placed Immediately
into a large Pasteurizing machine
and is handled thereafter without
being touched with human hands.
Pouring direct from the Pas
teurizing machine into huge
churn the cream will be trans
formed there into butter of the
highest type, and prepared for
market in Atlanta, Macon, Birming-
ham, and elsewhere. Because of
the strictly highsclass manner in
which the butter is to be manu-
featured and handled, it is expect
ed that the Americas butter will
command4the highest market price.
The butter will be taken from the
church with mechanical aids and
placed direct into a room which
will be kept at a temperature of
approximately 40 degrees. Faren-
heidi, where it will be wrapped in
tissue paper by girls especially
trained for the task. After being
wrapped in this covering the butt
ter will be placed into a storage
room where it will be thoroughly
frozen and kept there until ship
ped to market.
1t is expected that co-incident
with the installation of the cream
cry here, large numbers of fine
purebred cattle will be added to
the Sumter hers, and that two to
three thousand dollars will be dis
tributed monthly among cream
producers here.
