MY FAVORITE STORY-By Irwin Cobb

This is one of those stories that are laid
in the future. The reader is to project his
mind a few months ahead. The scene is sup
posed to be Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jers cy
City; the time a fine spring afternoon of
1924. Mr.. Jack Kearns, who really should
have claimed the Z. w. Box peace prize of
$780, 900 for figuring out way to stop all
Dempsey, may meet Harry Wills, the black
challenger, in mill for the heavyweight
championship of the world.
In advance of the battle a group of Wills
friends have, as the saying goes, bet their
shirts on the representative of their race.
Every cent they could earn, beg or borrow
has been wagered so that, when the morn
ing of the great day comes, they awaken to
hideous realization. In their enthusiasm
they have emptied their pockets and exhaust
ed their credits and now with a fortune at
stake, they cannot see the fight for the rea-
son that none of them has money with which
to pay for his admission.
Like an angelic vision from heaven comes
rescuer upon their horizon. In an uneX-
pected quarter of the group digs up
enough cash to buy one bleaCher ticket and
2 megaphone BY lot, then, member is
chosen. He will go into the arena and
climb to a certain designated point behind
the back row of bleacher seats overlooking
the steep rear wall of the enclosure. His
associates will be stationed outside, immedi-
ately below him. Through his eyes they will
witness the fight. Using the megaphone, he
will tell them of the struggle calling it off
blow by blow until the finish comes. In
their minds they have no doubt regarding
that finish.
They have just enough pennies in reserve
to pay their passages on the boat from the
New York side of the river; the rest of the

HOME RESPONSIBILITIES OVER
LOOK THEM
RY MRS. w

FRS. ELLA FLAGG YOUNG, of Chica-
M go, perhaps the greatest school super
- intendent Chicago ever had, in a pub
lie address before the Chicago City club said
the following:
1.-THE public school in America has not
achieved it's purpose 1t has not trained the
childs mind right. The children look at it
this way: The public treasury is supporting
me now, and [ must see that it continues to
support me- The main idea permeating the
masses today is, My share is all I can get.
Perhaps the greatest function of the school
is to abolish the greed of the herd, but
as yet have not found the means"
This state having taken on itself the edu-
cation of the children, cOmpeIs the siX-year-
old child to get its education by state super
vision. The state has usurped the parental
responsibility. A wise preacher and teacher
corrected this usurpation. He said: Don't
ask the state to carry on its shoulders the
responsibilities you should exercise in your
own home When the little tot starts to
school the state huddles them in rooms.

under one teacher. Maybe she is girl in
her teens anxious to make money for her.
self and who dismisses the whole thing from
her mind when the hour of dismissal comes.
Everyone must do little something, or re-
cite what the child got from home, if the
mother is seriously concerned. If she is too
ignorant to know it, then the child of six
gets little attention at school and some
directions and goes back home, in a hurry
to get to play in the sand or scrap in the
street with those who are older or younger
than themselves
The duty of the parent to the child is
thus side-tracked and the state Of Georgia
should raise the school age to seven (and l
believe it should be eight, where the child
is ailing or very backward). 1t is prepos-
ferrous that a child at six should be in state
schools for twelve long continuous years,
when its mind, heart, body and physical
needs demand many important things out
side the sch2olroom.
The public school system was authorized
in Georgia to reach children in remote
rural districts, where these children were
compelled to live and schoolhouses were few
and far between. 1t was deemed unfair, if
not unjust, to little innocent children that
they should not have the opportunity to re
ceive enough education to read books, to
write letters, and enough arithmetic to
transact everyday domestic business. Lit
tie towns as we'll IS larger one always had
schools and teachers in convenient distances.

Progress By Way of the Press

;. MOST Illuminating commentary on the
"A darkness of Russia is to be found in
report touching her press. 1t APP
pears that in all that vast country, with
population of a hundred and fifty millions,
there are but one hundred and seventyfour
daily newspapers, every one of which is un-
der the yoke of the Soviet government
Journals and magazines of all kinds number
and have an aggregate circulation of about
a million, eight hundred thousand.
The significance of these figures becomes
palmer when one observes that in the United
States of America, with a population consid-
erably less than Russia's, there are some
two thousand daily newspapers, not one of
which is fettered in decent freedom of
speech. These have an aggregate circulation,
exclusive of Sunday issues, of more than
thirty-three million, being read by all sorts
and conditions of men. Etening dailies
number one thousand seven hundred and
twenty-one, and morning dailies seven hun
dred and twenty. Add the weekly press and
the divers periodicals, and we have total
circulation, according to the 1920 census, of
more than two hundred and twenty million
as against less than two million for Russia.
1t is doubtful that Soviet tyranny could
have survived single summer in country
having a free press and reading public.
History has confirmed and repeatedly en-
phasized the truth asserted by Milton nearly
three centuries ago when he pleaded for I'M
trammelled printing; Errors in a good gov
eminent and in bad are almost equally in
cident for what magistrate may not be mis-
informed-and much the sooner If liberty of
printing be reduced into the power of few?

Turning Our Clay to Teacubs


IF all the teacups in Christendom, with all
the saucers, pitchers, plates, bowls, plat
~ tiers, and china whigmaleeries that de
light a house-dame's heart, should be gath
cred up by some evil wizard or towering
ogre and smashed to bits, Georgia could
replace them from her generous pottery re-
sources, and never miss the clay. While 1t
has long been known that the state was
wondrously rich in kaolin, the deposits were
supposed, till rather recently, to be good
for only lower-grade wares. But now the
United States Bureau of Mines says Of them,
upon the strength of its own research and
experiment, that 1.-The impurities may be
readily and cheaply separated, and the kao-
lin so modified in it's physical characteristics,
hoth as to shrinkage and the development
of color in burning, that it is comparable
with the best English clay, for many pot
terry purposes" The deposits are described
further as being "of remarkable purity,
many containing more than ninety-e1ght per
cent" and its bonding strength being "su-
peror to that of most china clays."
If a great industry is not developed from
these resources, it will be the common
wealth's own fault Their abundance is as
remarkable as their quality. Imagine an
area two hundred and twenty-five miles long
and from twenty to fifty miles IN width
stored with these valuable materials. Such
is the extent of the deposits as given IN
the Central of Georgia Railways admirable
DIRECTORY of Commercial Minerals" for the
territory alor- it's lines. The directory
points out as important factors and advan-
tages in the development of these numerous
minerals, of which kaolin is only one: First,
their proximity to the coal fields and hyro-
electric powers of Georgia, Alabama and
Tennessee: second, their convenience to
Georgia ports, which enjoy "coastwise steam
ship service to Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore, as well as transat-
lantic lines" third the fact that though
the bulk of Southern labor is not yet as
skilled industrially as in some other re-
gions. it is to the manner born and more
content as we'll as more easily trained.
. These circumstances make it highly desir-
able that Georgia procure the technical skill
and scientific research by which her vast
and diversified mineral resources can be
turned to thrifty account. In the matter of
clays, it is good to know that the Techs
school of ceramics, after heroic effort, is
being established upon sound and prom
Useful basis Equipment and a maintenance
funds were secured last summer so that the
school now is ready for operation. 1t is in
sore need, however, of an adequate build
ing Business minded patriotism could rem
der no more substantial service to the states
industrial" advancement than to provide a
building in which this important branch of
engineering and experimentation can be car
red vigorously forward. Thus it is that
Georgia will be enriched by the manufacture
and sale of finished products, instead of
wasting strength and treasure in the eX-
portation of crude material. When we turn
our clay into teacups then shall we truly
prosper.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE SEAT
OF WAR
BY DR.. Frank Crane

The great war goes on and it is a COM
fort to know that we are continually gain
ing ground and destroying one by one the
enemy's forts and putting to rout his forces.
The great war is between humanity on the
one hand, and disease on the other.
The eternal conflict is between life and
death.
Sir George Newman, chief medical officer
of the British government, declared the 9TH
er day the cholera, typhus, typhoid, small
pOX, tuberculosis and malaria have at last
become contrOllable.
The anti-toXn treatment of diphtheria has
reduced the death rate in that disease from
29.8 per cent in 1890 to 90 per cent in
1922, which means that 200 additional lives
saved in every 1000 cases.
In 1871 enteric fever claimed 374 lives
in each million of the population; in 1922
only twelve in each million.
I'VE are living in the golden age of
medicine" said Sir George. "Unperceived
it is rapidly changing the face Of the world
and the destinies of men. The extension Of
the frontiers Of life is assisted by fresh air
and sunlight in dwellings, sanitation in
workshops wholesome water and food sup
ply, and the isolation of infectious persons.
1.-THE result of this is seen in the fact that
every child born today has an expectation of
twelve years more life than had its grand
father"
In one sense the battle Of life against
death may be considered to be always a los
ing one, as in the end all life must pass.
But the real battle is not to abolish death,
but to enable man to live out his allotted
span, to enable him to ripen fully, and to
fall only with the normal decay Of his
powers.
After all due allowance made for unpre-
yentable accidents and diseases beyond any
control, it is safe to say that large part Of
the human races in each generation is de-
stroyed by the twin monsters, ignorance and
carelessness.
All wars come under the classification Of
Ignorance, as they are not produced by hui
man nature but are caused by the stupidity,
blindness and madness of the ruling classes.

Francis Junior wager, only child Of
Melvin and Grace Wager, was born at
Bloomington, Wisconsin, February Z,
1921, and died at his home March A,
1928, after a lingering illness from
which it was thought he had recover
ed
On Monday he took relapse, which
developed into bronchial pneumonia.
He passed away Sunday morning at
9:15.
All was done that skilled and loving
hands could do, but he was not given
to us to keep, he was only lent to us
for the short time of only two years
and twenty-five days
He was such patient, gentle, and
loving little darling, always had a
smile for every one and always will
ing to share anything he had.
The patter of his little feet will be
heard no more, but will never be for

He leaves to mourn his death his
grief stricken mother and father, his
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. and Mrs
F. NJ. wager of Lancaster, Wis, and
Mr.. and Mrs. George Harris of Bag

a host Of friends.
Comforting words were spoken by
Rev. Forester of the NJ E. church Of

There is reaper whose name is death
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at a
breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
"Shall have naught that is fair?" Saith
he;
"Have naught but the bearded grain.
Though the breath of these flowers are
sweet to me,
l will give them all back again"
And the mother gave, in tears and
pain,
The flower she most did love;

The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took the flowers away.
