Hints

Father of
PHYSICAL
Culture

The question of the time for going
to sleep, and the length of time for
seeping are so important that they
need special emphasisS Dor reasons
which no one really understands, the
body is able to rccuperate much more
perfectly before midnight, the sleep is
more profound, the respiration deeper,
tae oxygenadon of the blood more per-
feet. 1t has been said that burgla
prefer 10 do their work early in the
night for the reason that the occupants
Of the house are less likely 10 AVA Y
at that time than in the hours an
preaching dawn. At any rate, the vast
experience of the whole human race
has SO thoroughly demon strated the
greater value CT early evening slum-
Der that it has become pyoYerbial to
say that two hours Of leep before
midnight are worth four tours after.
A man may sleep the same number
Of hours, be it eight or nine, but if he
roes to bed at twelve or one o'clock
and gets up at eight OF nine, then he
docs not feel rested or refreshed the
same as he would if he went to bed at
nine and arose at FIVE or six in the
morning. That tired, Ianguid feeling,
that weakening sense of lassitude.
,hould show only TOO clearly that his
.ody has not properly recuperated
rom the drains made upon 1t the day
and the night before.
And besides it is just as easy to shift
the waking and sleeping hours ahead
two or three hours, to go to bed some
There near the end of the day and to
set up at the real beginning of the day.
In my Encyclopedia Of Physical Gull
are I point out that overwork is an
.yher fairly common form of dissipa-
ton, innocent though it may seem to
Ccvote oneself faithfully to good
!:onest work" Overwork however,
.uch as those who are guilty of it may

disastrous in its consequences. One

FORMING FAIRS IN CHATHAM


With the announcement by the
agricultural committee Of the Sa-
1annah Board Of Trade that
company may be formed to buy
and operate farm lands in Chat
ham county new agricultural i'm
petus has been given this terri
tory.
Already in various parts of the
country cooperative selling of
farm products is going on in
view of getting better prices for
produce.
Everything modern tends to go
toward the cooperation. Things
that used to be made under d
Single roof are now manufactur-
ed at full speed in large quanti-
ties by large cooperative bodies.
Big fortunes are made.
Is not Chatham county's ac-
ton in buying a big cooperative
farm an innovation for the best?
1t will certainly be step III de-
veleping Chatham county agri-
culturally.
1t is proposed by Courtney
Thorpe, chairman, that $780,
600 be spent on this at the pres
ent time. Later much more may
be given in case the movement
proves a success. With scienti-
fic and cooperative methods on
large scale, success is assured.

CHASING THE
END OF THE RAINBOW
DOWN IN FLORIDA.


DOWN IN FLORIDA.
For several weeks we have heard
a great deal regarding the vast
opportunities that await every one
down in Florida"
More than one Americas mer-
chant has had "the Florida bug in
his bonnet" One merchant said to
us the other day that he had about
covered the state, searching for a
location, but he came back.
Rents are too high; there's
dozen men for every one of those
opportunities; I'm staying right
here" he said
Chasing the pot. of gold at the
end of the rainbow has ever been
one of humanity's failings. Oppor-
tunity too often seems to lie just
beyond. Like the African slave, we
gaze afar, while trudging day in
and day out over a veritable field Of
diamonds.
Following is a first-hand story
appearing in the Qutman Free
Press, one Of the most ably edited
papers in the South:
Mr.. Newton Alderman, OF
Quitman, who has recently re-
turned. from a trip through Flori-
da, says Florida is wonderful
place, but he thinks Brooks
county people make I, mistake i'll
leaving their home county and
going there
in the first place" says Mr..
Alderman, "a man ought not to
go to Florida unless ne has
good deal of money to invest. if
he's broke here he would have to
go down there as laborer and
jobs have to be hunted for and
several weeks may elapse before
he finds place and in the mean
ta@tllhe hvlng expenses are nigh.
Undoubtedly there is money
and prosperity in Florida tour
lists come down and invest OF
spend money, the truck crops
bring in money. But | tried to
study the situation from both
sides and it is my honest judy
ment that the Brooks county
farmers who have land here will
do best to stay and all get to-
gether and work for prosperity
here. We have got better land
than most Florida uand; we have
better climate. believe we
can raise better truck. We can
make a trucking section and that
seems to me the thing to do to
take up some of our cotton lands
l do agree with the people who
say that if we put as much
work, as much fertilizer and as
much boosting to our Brooks
county lands as those Florida
people use in their section, we
viii make as great success.
j feel hopeful for the flu
ture myself. l think it is a mis-
take to talk hard times 50 much;
it. makes US all feel that we are
Verse off than we really are. If
we all have faith in our own
county and all work together for
prosperity here | believe we can
have just as much as people in
other sections that are really
less favored than ours.
MIR Alderman says Brooks coun,
ty land is better than Florida land,
and We believe that Sumer county
land is superior to Brooks county
acreage.
And we thoroughly agree with
Mr. Alderman, when he says that
if we folks of South Georgia viii
put as much work, as much fertil,
izef and as much boosting to oul
lands we will make just as great
a success as the Foridian.
Opportunities are just as great il
Sumter as anywhere else in the
world. 1t is not the land nor tht
climate that makes Florida. 1t i
the men behind the land. 1t is cour
age and brains and a will to do.
