GEORGIA NEWSPAPERS

GEORGIA NEWSPAPERS Savannah consider
ed in<ute distinction and an honor to have en-
tcrtained the editors of Georgia Friday and Sat
urday. The city extended to these visitors the
most generous hospitality possible 1t recognized
in these guests of the weekend an element of mark
cd power and force and influence in Georgia They
without exception engaged upon a program
of construction. None is an conocast, so far as
we know. The impression we get from reading
the weekly newspapers of the State is that they
backing Georgia to the limit in efforts that
tend to make it bigger and more important state.
The weekly press of Georgia stands remarkably
high in comparison with the weekly press OF
other States. No matter in what part of the
Union newspapers published, there is no
State with more representative press than our
Georgia. The editors are men whose opinions
command attention among their readers and
their subscribers. And this is largely because
of the honesty OF the Georgia newspaper.
We know of no representative OF newspaper
in the Georgia Press Association who is control
led by an unseen power. The fearessness OF the
Georgia press is proverbial 1t is recognized
virtue in all annals OF journalism Although an
editor may possess not more than the traditional
apron full OF type and his printing plant consists
Of an ancient Washington hand press, he keeps
his self-respect and maintains his independence
as to thought and opinion. Those who &C
quainted with the standing and importance of the
rural press Of other states very uniform in
their opinion that the country press of Georgia
stands very high.
The papers are cast in mold that tends to
better journalism and better citizenship in Georgia

Brewster's Millions.

An entertaining story and popular
seller of some years ago must have
suggested the peculiar conditions Of
an inheritance left TO young Vincent
Lamb by Patrick O'Connor. of Oma-
hs, that he must earn $4,000 to prove
his worth before he can come into
possession of the $5,0O0,000 that is
willed to him. At his present wage
OF $lS per week, that time must look
very far off. Brewster had to spend a
certain large amount, all of one inner
'tance. before he could enjoy the mil
lions left him. A hopeful thing for
Lamb is that should his wife make
good in the movies where she now is
working, that she may help him to
an impresario or press agent job that
would soon land him at his goal.

Simple, But Not Meager,

so long a conspicuous statesman OF
the south, John Sharp Williams has
declared his purpose to retire from
public life at the close of his present
term on March 4th, and to devote him
self to the simple life the rest of his
days. OF this he drew fowery word
picture at a farewell dinner given in
his honor in Washington. He did not
mention something which another did,
however, that newspaper syndicate
had offered him $4,000 year to write
one article week on public questions.
Little wonder that the quiet of his
home study should make an appeal
and relief from the yoke of public serv
ice be welcome.

Yield of seed

from these results Is shown that the nitrogen
furnished by nitrate OF soda has given larger
yield OF seed cotton than nitrogen derived from any
other source tried. Under boil weevl conditions
the late or top crop is destroyed, Consequently,
all that can be done to induce the setting and ma
turing OF the earliest crop is of first consideration
Phosphoric acid is the element in fertilizer and

The Power of Wealth.

Arthur Brisbane holds that the ac-
emulation of large fortunes such as
our multimillionaires possess is JUS
tilted by the benefits that their large
requests are to science and educa-
ton. None but the immense sums given
IN lump at frequent times would ac-
comphsh so speedily and effectively
what the Rockefeller and the Carne-
gle Foundations have accomplished as
well as those many similar bequests
OF other fortunes. The New York Pub
lie Library has just received $6.OO0,-
600 from Rockefeller, Payne Whit
ney and Edward Hardness. Also ST.
100000 each have been given to the
New York Academy of Medicine bv
the Rockefeller Foundation and the
Carnegie Corporation.

No good business man needs this
| advice in regard to his business, but
what about his health? After 40 he
is lucky to hold his own in health
and strength for any considerable
length OF time unless he gives them
more than a passing thought Bad
habits of diet, excessive smoking or
drinking soon begin to tell, especially
if there is added the strain of I'M
ceasing application to business and
the worry incident to losses or dis
appointments. To neglect the best pos
sible care of the body at this time is
equal to junking it. Just like his car,
his own longevity will be determined
| by looking after the weakened parts
and resting them or rebuilding, the
latter much harder to do in the case
OF the human machine. Why not go
at stated times to your family physi-
clan or a special diagnoistician and
learn how to make yourself fit, than
to do as one physician has said, wait
to call in the doctor to aid you in
dying comfortably? Patent medicines
are too often the make-shift where a
personal consultation and examination
OF an expert physician is needful, to
discover the real cause of various all
ments and, regardless of fees would
in the end be the most economical as
we'll as helpful.

Well, in earlier times if man made

He wished his customers and his
friends to praise his work, besides,
he was the salesman for his own pro-
duct which added to his interest in
the quality. Now, one man makes not
more than one-hftieth part of a shoe.
All day long he is driving the nails
or making the holes, or sewing the
buttons, perhaps. The work becomes
monotonous and the worker more like
a machine. Industrial development
has brought it about, and we cannot
go backward but still it is regrettable
that this evolution has broken up the
individuals personality, and taken
away his joy in his task. The best
thing we can do for him then is to see
that his hours of toll are not made
too grinding and that worry over his

'OVER THE TOP WITH
 THE FRESH AIR FUND
Continued from First Page)

The site of the Fresh Air camp, up in the hills of Burlington, is the scene of many happy parties every day, groups of children roam the fields In search of berries and flowers, swim in the dep hole in the brook near the old bridge and collect around the camp table for q satisfying and wholesome meal. Sleep-but why mention that-sleep and lots of it is understood in such surroundings. Every child went up to the camp un- derweight and undernourished, prac- tically every child is gaining flesh and thriving in health. Youngsters who are in such condition that they can get the most good from the fresh air and the wholesome food are given first call in the consideration of ap- plicants for the outing, and there are even more than 300, the capacity of the camp, who may be benefited Healthy boys and girls are barred. It is rather tough on some of them as they to have the capacity to enjoy the open, but the camp authorities prefer to have the additional factor of general health to consider. The upbuilding of bodies alone is won derful work. the giving of pleasure to children not over-endowed with en- joyment is close second to the primary purpose of the camp.
 The camp will be run at its capacity this summer. Of this we are now as- sured as the fund has grown to the amount estimated as necessary. The children, the Fresh Air Editor and all concerned thank the public for taking an interest in the work and lending, financial support.
