IN MEMORIAM

.OLIVER-In sad but loving re-
membernace Of our dearest an
gel, DOROTHY ELIZABETH
OLIVER, who departed this life
one month ago yesterday, De-
cember IA, 1922.
Softly at night the stars are shin
ing,
Upon the cold and silent grave,
Where there our dearest angel,
Whom we loved, but couldn't
save.
How we miss the welcome foot
steps.
Of the one we loved so dear,
Oft we listen for her coming,
Feeling sure that she is near.
No one knows the silent heart
aches,
Only those who have lost, can
tell
! OF the grief that is borne in 81
lence,
For our angel we loved so we'll
Thou art gone, but not forgotten
Fresh our memories will ever be
For as long as life is in our body
Dorothy, we will always think
of thee.
Her devoted Mother and
13-lp Father.

Miss Cummings, iii her outline

that so-called 'Parlor Bolshevism'
and various organizations are
spreading seditious propaganda,
under the pretext of promoting
peace and philanthropy, using wo-
mems organizations to foster this
propaganda and to collect money
to finance disloyal projects,
to such an extent that
it is incumbent upon the women
of the United States to take ac-
ton against them. AS the great
men of the thirteen colonies stood

that the Club women of those
states should emulate the spirit OF

In the Field
bemarkets

THE opening of the game season Is less
than week away, and Georgia gun
ners preparing for their annual
sport, which some extreme humanitarians
are pleased to. call debacIe. 1t is reported
than many coyeys weathered the long rainy
season successfully, and that there is no
shortage of birds in the field. The auto
matte repeating gun may eventually exter-
inmate quail in Georgia, but so far evil eff
fects from its use has not been conspicuous.
When, about fifty years ago, breechloaders
began to displace the old fashioned muzze-
leaders, the prophecy of determination was
familiar to the press, but the breechloader
really brought no larger bags; and the auto
matte has not so far. When the old timer
long chances. The 1870 bird in the bag,
cost less than his descendant of 1920.
1t is said that nowhere does the real
nature of a man crop out more quickly than
in hunting. If he is selfish, he will
show it in an hour; if hoggish he cannot
hide it. And the end of the day usually
tests his veracity sharply. The inspired one
who wrote, ''I said in my heart, all men
are liars" had probably, been a hunter in
youth.
But the sportsman is tested in another
way. The measure of his respect for law
and for the rights of others, is taken
sooner or later, in the field or on the
waters. The Duchess County Sporting as
ISOLATION is sending out broadcast admont-
lions which fit Georgia just as we'll as New
York State.
Never in sport endanger human life.
"Never kill wantonly or needlessly or
brutaly.
"Obey the laws of state and nation; work
for better laws, and uphold the enforcing
authorities.
Respect the rights of farmers and prop
erty owners and also their feelings.
always leave seed birds and game in
covers
"Never be a fish hog
discourage the killing of game for COM
mercial purposes by refusing to purchase
trophies.

game species in the interest of science
Love nature and it's denizens, and be a
gentleman"

MIX and the Farm

THE New York Herald has this to say
of the milk industry in the
cotton State of Mississippi: 1.-The
dairy industry now fourishing in that
State has the benefit of relatively early
start. The Department asserts that within
the last ten years the industry has become
profitable feature of about 10000 farms in
the State.
Before 1912 there was no commercial
dairying in Mississippi, with the exception of
about $4,000 worth of milk shipped into
New Orleans during the year by nearby
farmers. The first creamery was established
in September, 1912, by extension workers
at the agricultural college. The first year
of its operation it made 1900 pounds of
butter and paid out to farmers over $4,000.
Each succeeding year more farmers have
put dairy stock on their farms some new
creameries have been established and the
amount realized by farmers from the sale
of butterfat increased. By 1914 they were
selling over $4,000 worth of butterfat In
1922 creamery checks for Mississippi farmers
amounted to $1,217,OO0, while $65O,OO0
worth of milk was shipped to city markets. -
1t should not be forgotten that in every
State where milk production increases,
figures do not measure all the blessings
derived from it. Indeed, it is possible that
in the long run, the figures do not represent
even half the blessings of abundant milk, in
families where the dairy is maintained. 1t
is now conceded that milk is ideal nature
diet for growing children of any age. Where
whole communities are better fed, the reac-
lions must be in stronger, better men and
women, and through these a higher capacity
for self-government and the preservation of
the ideals of civilization.
Georgia is making rapid development in
milk production, but the field and market
| are, as yet, hardly touched.

DOCTORS
By DR.. Frank Crane

By DR.. Frank crane
~ OCTORS have been the favOrite butt OF
J ridicule throughout history.
~ The gbe of Voltaire strikes pop
ular note:
doctors are men who cram medicine
about which they know little into bodies
about which they know less to cure diseases
about which they know nothing at all"
AS matter of fact however, the great
army of physicians represents those who
are devoting the most intelligence toward
alternating the sufferings of humanity. Reg
ular physicians have done more, and are
doing more for the human race than all
the cults, sects, quacks, and fads COM
bined. simply because they are constantly
studying facts, and are working in harmony
with Nature herself.
The Northwestern university, in recent
pamphlet gives some interesting data in
regard to the advance of science of medi-

The history Of medicine is marked by
many successful campaigns.
Lord Lister, a Scotchman, laid the fOun-

But There Must Be Markets

DhrpmENT COOLIDGE's commission,
after looking into the straits and
stresses of the wheat growers of the
West, recommends cooperative marketing
y a major remedy. SO far, so good. But
lille cooperation, like charity, should be-
gin at home, it need not and, in reason,
cannot end there If it is we'll for Amer
lean farmers to cooperate with one an
other in selling their products, is it not
also desirable that American craftsmanship
should cooperate with the constructive
forces OF the world in creating markets,
without which sales cannot be made?

BY MRS. w. II.

money at the bank had to beg for extension
of time and more interest accumulated on
the notes.
OF all K. investments that were satisfac-
tory to man owning cash enough to pay
anything that would yield a profit, land was
the least respected of all. member of the
present legislature told me he was given
ninety pounds of seed cotton cotton rent
from his farm this year. If the seed cotton
"thirded itstlf he had less than thirty
pounds to sell as lint cotton, to go on his tax
payment.
A legislator has brought in a bill to
empt from all taxation farm lands where
the owner lives on his own place. There are
plenty of people who own land who must
give up living on their land to induce
renter to occupy and thus secure tax money
to pay to the tax collector. If they rent
a house to live in anywhere they can meet
their tax assessment perhaps. If not, then
fl ia. will be issued and then the same land
will be exposed for sale-for taxes.
These fl ia. s will accumulate. When they
heap up sufficiently they will appeal to some
war profiteer and with $4,000 he may be
able to own $4,000 acres of Georgia land
which had been wrung out of the possession
of people who legally owned them by pur-
chase or inheritance-to pay for public sal
aries. Again 1 ask, are COMMON pine lands
in Georgia an asset Or liability?
At my time of life I expect nothing better
tax injustice and see millions wasted on
frivolities in the educative business, when
the children in rural districts must work in
the field to make enough on the land to pay
taxes and live.
We are giving fifty cents out of every
dollar of the states tax money to common
school education and yet the people in au-
thority levy school taxes in my section every
wear and spend them wastefully outside the
needed rural school districts.
Officials are constantly increasing-more
are demanded every time the legislature as
sembles in Atlanta. The increase in crime is
appalling. TIL courts overrun with criml-
nal cases, and taxes are not levied on the big
salaries, and the poor people are paying for
the increase of officials.
AS I look on the members Of the Georgia
legislature in the state capitol who are not
willing to abate any expenses, and are con-
stantly making more official spendthrifts,
ask myself, How long are We going to submit
to this official tyranny?

fallen. With a large portion Of Europe in
sloughs of economic despond and much of
it menaced with revolution if not actually
in the throes thereof, the continents pro-
ductive and hence it's purchasing power
is radically curtailed. Well does a recent
observer declare: "OnIy cooperation Of
the leading nations of the world, including
the United States, can restore peace and
prosperity, just as they alone could have
prevented the present chaos if they had
acted in concert. Until Europe shall have
undergone economic reconstruction, her
buying ability must remain impaired and
precarious. 1t would be a good invest
ment in behalf of the American people
to put it only on that bas1s-for the United
States to take a share in the rehabilitation
of Europe, if only with the object Of par
ticipating in the resultant benefits.''
Eventually there must be cooperation
for working out the worlds economic
problems and also for developing the
worlds economic opportunities, or there
will be no secure abiding prosperity for
any land. Foreign markets as we'll as home
markets determine prices; and without
foreign buyers to take the surplus of home
production, neither farmer nor manufac-
turer can greatly thrive Efficient market
ing methods are exceedingly Important but
before they can be practiced there must
be-markets.
