surprise it had been confidently anticipated
that President Coolidge would make his selection
from among Massachusetts men. But not only
has the president chosen Secretary of residence

Coolidge has secured as the incumbent of this
most important post man who has served fifteen
years IN Congress, who has an intimate knowledge

200 A. NJ. from three day trip over the East
Ocmulgee division OF the Highway and were well
pleased with the condition OF the roads for most
parts and the interest shown by every commun-
:ty. Til proposed motorcade over the route to the
Ir-State Exposition in Savannah on October 81,
when the Governors of Georgia and South Caro-
line with their stafs, will be the official guests OF
the Exposition met with enthusiastic support.
The road officials in each of the counties travers-
ed will each make a special effort to have their
parts of the highway in good condition by that
time and we have the assurance of the County
Commissioners of Bryan county, that the road thru
that county will be in form, the convicts of that
county being now on that part of the highway.
We are especially grathed with the cooperation
given the association by the newspapers along the
route and their grasp of the importance of high
way to the port city.
This highway is destined to play an important
part in the agricultural development of the coun-
ties within reach of Savannah when the roads
thru Bryan county will allow of rapid transporta-
ton by trucks from the farm to the consumers of
vegetables, poultry, etc, in Savannah The money
spen 70 train loads of these products annually by
Savannah should be spent with farmers along
this territory and with good roads into the city
and an active campaign for change of system
on these farms could bring about condition OF
prosnerltv all along the route.
We expect to see this change brought about
this is one highway that will prove its value not
only as tourist route for Georgans to their city
by the sea, but as great developer of the agr-
cultural possibilities OF the section.

COMFORT OR MODESTY

he whole question of whether Mrs.
Henry Ford's rebuke to the summer
camp girls who approached her for
her autograph clad in the extreme of
comfortable camp garb was justified
depends on our idea of the use of ROTH
ing. Is it solely for comfort or has
a proper concealment of the person
as custom handen down thru all
the ages, some place in the question
OF raiment? 1t seems of late too much
stress has been placed on comfort
alone especially that of young and
pretty girls on vacation. Such garb
is accepted as necessary here that
would not be tolerated for their moth
ers or the servants in the home who
are the ones that stand in need of
some tightening of clothing if any are
While they pursue the hard and heated
work OF the Gay over the cooking
range, the ironing board or the wash
tub 1t is funny to contemplate what
furore it would create if the moth
ers OF some of these same girls would
start house cleaning in overalls even
of conventional length.

OF the Star Spangled Banner last
week as usual. According to the lead
er who is an American, this custom
continued since war times had served
its day and now tends to recalls the
tragic and gloomy scenes of warfare
needlessly. He has been using the
song for eight years continuously or

that he has by his arbitrary omission

DAIRY PRODUCTS AND BY-pRoDucrs

Some have too limited conception of the results
OF farm diaries. Farm diaries do not mean merely
the sour cream will be marketed. But the farmer
who has farm dairy will grow more hogs for
market. He will raise more chickens for marke.
and he will market more eggs.
The farmer who has farm dairy will have more
fertilizer for his farm and will find it easier to
grow whatever he wishes The establishment of
a creamery is usually accompanied by the inaug-
uration of monthly hog sales chicken sales and egg
sales Usually hatchery is put up in connection
with the creamery and local market afforded for
eggs. The establishment OF farm diaries means
much more than the production of sour cream
