Don't Kill BuIl-Bats.
From the Atlanta Journal.

Good speed and the best Of luck to efforts
now astir in Georgia to stop the shooting OF
bull-bats These useful birds, properly called
night hawks, are invaluable as destroyers OF
insect pests They are particularly service
able to the south when given a chance, IN at
lacking boil weevl hordes. The farmer has
no better friend in the feathercd world Yet,
for wretched sport" they are being slaugh-
tered so ruthlessly that the extinction OF the
species is gravely threatened. AS the bull
bat, or night hawk, lays only two eggs and
Asses but one family year the need OF
Protecting it is all the more urgent
In Farmers Bulletin No. 755,' published
by the United States department OF agrlcul-
ture will be found scientific information that
should arouse every town and countryside 70
a determined effort to prevent this BIRDS eX-
termination "As an adornment to the land
scape it has few superiors," says this author
ity; "a flock of night hawks pursuing their
complex but skilful aerial evolutions is an OBJ
ject of interest and admiration rarely excel
cd Still more pronounced IS its economic
value
"The night hawk" declares the govern,
ment bulletin, SIS strictly lnsect1vorous, and
Tor this reason no blame can be attached to
it on the score of its damaging crops. Night
hawks are so expert in fight that no insects
can escape them. They sweep up IN their
capacious mouths everything from the larg-
est moths and dragonflies to the tiniest ants
and gnats, and in this way sometimes gamer
most remarkable collections of insects; Sew
eral stomachs (Which were scientifically eX-
amined) have been found to contain fifty or
more different kinds, while the number of
individuals may run into the thousands. Near
ly fourth of the birds total food is compos-
ed of ants. These insects are generally an
noying and often very injurious, especially
in relation to stored products and IN their
activities in fostering destructive plant lice;
More than fifth of the night hawks food
consists of May beetles, dung beetles and
other beetles of the leaf chafer family. These
are the adults of the white grubs, noted pests.
beetles, wood borers and weevils, are eaten.
No fewer than eighteen species of bark bee
ties, which are among the most destructive
forest enemies have been identified in the
food of the night hawk"
Georgians cannot afford the destruction of
birds so widely and so richly useful.

Worth 300 Billion.

The estimate that the national wealth OF
the United States reaches the enormous sum
OF $3O000O00 stirs the pride OF every
American citizen who contributes to his
countrv's economic worth. The amount, rep
resenting more money than there is in all the
world never could be realized for that rea-
son. showing that the wealth which counts
is in other things than treasure Nor does
that rob the statement of any part OF its truth;
tie values are there whether or not there IS
financial strength that could equal it.
The riches of the country have been great
n increased in the last ten years The major
portion of the increase has come from the
expansion of American industries. Some OF
the added wealth has resulted from higher
values having been attached to property hold
ings That shows how unearned increment
carries an actual worth in any economic
scheme 1t is noteworthy that the govern
ment, through the census bureau Will give
official recognition to the increased values
that have come from unearred increment
The most comfortable impression connected
with the estimate is that most of the increase
in American wealth has been earned. Ameri-
can industry has created II. nat Hledhs hC"
enterprises that have joined in the production
of goods and the growth of other businesses
that are producing larger amounts of mer-
chandse of one kind and another. 1t always
has been claimed that Americas resources
include not only the raw materials, but the
equipment for production of the finished ar
tic1e and the market in which it can be sold.
When it comes to the latent resources OF the
richest country on earth it is more and more
recognized that Russia is the wealthiest.
However, since it is not a certainty that the
Russians soon will provide the other ele-
ments that are necessary to the production
OF the greatest amount of actual WEALTH.
they ever do-America rightly may be called
the richest country and people in existence.
More wealth than $3000O0,0O00OO will be
created here long before the country has full
filled its economic destiny. America is still
young, and its rapid growth will continue
tor centuries Some economists declare there
practically is no end to the possibilities OF
American wealth In that is suggestion that
the time for the individuals opportunity has
not passed in this country.

The Wages of Banditry.

The wages of banditry-death. Al Spencer,
famous and infamous outlaw of Oklahoma
and Kansas, demonstrated the truth OF that
statement by dying with a bullet through
his body. The picturesque bandit of the
Usage country has gone, has passed out with
his boots on. 1t was inevitable that the time
would come when even his quick trigger
finger would be outmatched by Others for it
happens that authority may be represented
by men as brave, as determined and as
stanch as any desperate robber.
That has been the way of most bandits.
1t is difficult role for the most desperate
character to play, that of robber and outlaw.
1t always means great risks, quick and &C
curate work in emergencies and not little
of good luck in the bargain. Al Spencer took
the risks He also was a skilled worker IN
the robbing of train or bank. He had good
luck for a while until at last. he overplayed
his hand A retreat in the mountains shell
tered him time after time. A robbery, a
flight, a gun battle perhaps, and the outlaw
was safe, but in the end he fell.
Spencer had been carefully tutored by
Henry Starr, once pardoned by Theodore
Roosevelt, who believed the robber would
fight his way back to responsibility. Starr
was quiet only long enough to plan another
bold robbery. In the meantime he showed
Al Spencer what he had learned in career
OF banditry. Spencer succeeded Starr as
cf,ieftain when that robber was shot to death
two years ago. Now, Spencer has followed
II is usually the way. Sooner or later the
bandit gets his due

The Banks and Farming.
7rom the Savannah Morning News.

Almost every issue of the country papers
in the south Georgia section tell OF the offers
of the banking institutions in their territory
to materially financially encourage the diver
siication plan for farming Banks have in the
years past offered to lend money for the pur-
rose of purebred hogs, and they have offered
through the boys clubs the actual living pigs
with which to start the hog business They
are encouraging every safe and sane way to
remove the old tyranny of the one-crop sys-
tenn of agriculture And it wasn't more than
& score of years ago when the farmer could
hardly borrow a dollar except on cotton. The
south Georgia farming system is being revo-
lutionized and one important evidence that
the revolution is a sort of sound progressive
evolution into a better brand is this universal
backing by the banks These institutions are
now feeling that their new policy is sound.
One report from Moultre indicates just how
sure they feel about Investigation as the
hope Of the country
The banks are in intimate touch with the
farm situation They do not act hastily; they
do not go off half cooked; they do not put
out good money on visionary schemes-they
have to be shown And they have been
shown; they have seen that the dairy cow IS
mortgage litter; that Investigation is the
only sensible plan that will put the farmers
and hence the merchants and the bankers
on the way to better times

Divorce Gaining on Marriage.

Marriage decreasing, divorce increasing IN
the United States That is indicated by fig
ures recently issued by the federal census
bureau. The bureau is comparing marriage
and divorce statistics for 1922 with those for
1916, the last previous year when they were
Systematically presented, and while it is not
ready to form conclusions its work, as far as
it has progressed, supports the opening state
ment above Complete returns from SIX
Connecticut, Massachusetts,, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, New Jersey and Vermont,
show total decrease in marriages in l9ZZ
of 0,9o7 against 1916, and an increase in di-
vorces of 4044 All these states have had large
increases in population since 1915, except
Vermont, which has suffered slight de-
crease. The figures for Delaware, the bureau
saws, are much like those for the six states
given in full; New Hampshire shows small
increase in number of marriages, and slight
decrease in the total of divorces; Minnesota
an increase in marriages.
The total decrease in marriages in the
eight states under consideration for the Pc
rod given, the bureau finds, is 1880, and
the increase in divorces totals 5000.
The marriage statistics of the bureau re-
veal other interesting data In 1916 the total
number of marriages was reported as l,04O,-
.77S, representing the returns from 1874
counties out of total of 1880 counties from
which returns were sought. For 1916 there
was reported total of S53,200 marriages in
the United States with IS counties missing,
and for 1896 a total of 1888 with So coun-
ties missing. These figures when compared
with those reported for 1916 show an in
crease in the number of marriages between
1896 and 1906 of Az, or &c per cent, and
between 1906 and 1916 of 1922, or p per
cent.
The whole number of divorces reported for
1916 was 112,036 as compared with total
OF 72O62 for 1906 and a total of 42,937 for
1896 These statistics showed an increase of
1904 divorces in 1916 over 1906, or SIS per
cent, as compared with an increase of 29125
divorces in 1906 over 1896.
This story of marriage and divorce statis-
tics raises three big questions: Wha+ IS it
all mean? What is the cause OF it rat
is the remedy? It is ia situation W, OF
the best study of our citizens

Revolt of the Pedestrian.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

1t has come at last, the revolt of the walk
crs In Switzerland where events usually
move with glacial speed, appears a striding
band holding aloft the strange device: Down
with autos give us some place to walk!
There are plenty of places in Switzerland
for ski, skate and Sled but it seems that
the automobile has begun to monopolize the
few roads where walking is possible. The
Swiss pedestrians want their government to
do something about It,
This may be the last stand of the fast
disappearing pedestrians. They are dWln-
ding in numbers at an alarming rate. Those
who have not been run over by careless auto
drivers have been run down by automobile
salesman and have been compelled to buy
cars in self-defense 1t is only fitting that
there should be provided somewhere Pc
destrian's paradise, where the hOnk of the
motor horn does not assail the ear and cross
ing highway or trailing it is not a feat of
daring to be undertaken at the walkers peril.
We imagine this Swiss movement will
spread Something must be done if physical
locomotion is not to become lost art. In
this country the situation is fast becoming
acute One of the great needs at present is
for sidewalks for suburban and rural roads.
In spite of all that the automobile manu-
facturers can do there are still a large num-
Der of people who have not yet been pro-
vided with automobiles. They would like to
have somewhere to walk. The pedestrians
are. in the main, peaceful folks, but there
is a limit to their patience Given the right
lead they might follow the Swiss example
and start real revolt.

Too Many Taxes to Pay.
From the DeKalb New Era.

The question of high taxes--whlch are
Consideration all over the country.
How long can the country stand the tax
load? is the question which is. being asked
on all sides. The Houston Post ittingly says;
defenders of soaring tax rates usually at
tempt to Justify their position by contending
that the government is rendering greater
service and tax payers should therefore be
willing to pay for it.
I'm many instances these extra service;
are unnecessary or not worth the cost and
some are positively injurious to the taxpayer
LAS long as the government undertakes to
regulate infinitely the lives of individuals and
the conduct Of every business, great ana
small the tax burden will be exorbitant.

From the Benton (Ark.) Courier

FROM the DSIlOl NEAlh) SCuAiSA'
Too much laW-too little respect for it.
That seems to be one Of the greatest prob
lens with which officials are confronted to-
day.
Congress, state legislatures, city councils,
village boards all seem obsessed with ma
MIA for passing Iaws-niore laws-and still
more laws.
The result is there are so many laws in
this country, OF one kind or another, the
people haven't even a conception of what the
majority of them are.
The average citizen knows that he is
breaking some kind of law almost daily
without realizing it. He knows, also, that
nothing is done about it. They are dead let
ters never enforced
This in time leads him to look upon all
laws with more or less contempt or at least
with Indifference. and especially so with
those that interfere with his business or
pleasure.
What we need in this country are fewer
laws and more rigid enforcement, with a
drastic punishment for the law enforcement
officer who neglects to perform his duty.
One-third of the laws we have would be
ample, if they were obeyed.
But they will never be obeyed as they
should be so long as multiplicity creates con-
tempt.
