 RAVEON

With the closing of the season the Calamity Howlers" again begin to cry about hard times and lack of patron age. They have been so busy during the summer raking in the good cash that a let up of that very pleasant business seems to them a great misfortune and they begin to cry hard times instead being thankful for the blessings already received and getting ready for the great rush of travel that will surely come a. gain the coming year. The higher ups in transportation circles have given out that we will have more boats, more pe- ople and consequently more business next year than ever before. Skaeway is never at loss for winter diversion and we should all have the get together spi- Tit and work for the common good.
 There will be the brand new hockey grounds, the clubs, bowling, indoor ga mes of various other kinds, all of which may be indulged in when work for the next year seems too laborious and after good brisk game, eiher indoor or out. each will return again to his labors in happy frame of mind, and renew his work with fresh energy.

EDITO RIAL
COMMENT
ALL THINGS WORKING TO-
GETHER FOR GOOD

Before the congregation of the
First Methodist Church of Chica-
go, a sermon was delivered in a
theater, by S. j. Duncan-Clark a
newspaper man.
That is combination which
would have seemed strange to
Methodists of fifty years ago.
Today it is, to most of US, mere
ly additional eecviden IA +
ly additional evidence that Chris
tianity and the churches are not
and are never likely to become,
behind the times"
In 1857 a denominations min
lister, praying before a large pub
lie meeting, asked the Lord "to
save Theodore Parker, if poss-
IDLY he could be saved; if not,
to see that he went to hell as
soon as might be-" Parker's Of
Tense was that he did not belong
to the denomination of the
speaker. Otherwise Parker was
a great and good man.
Today, apparently, even the
newspaper and the theater are
regarded as part of that combin-
alton Of "all things" which were
once said by divine authority to
work together for good.-Atlan-

Three Smiles
Misplaced Shamrock.

An Irishman was sitting in a res
turant one day and overheard an
Englishman give his order as fol-
lows:
Waiter, being me some toma-
to soup, lobster, and a bottle of
red wine"
The Irishman, not to be outdone
called the same waiter, and said
in a loud voice;
Waiter, being me some pea
soup, a bunah Of lettuce, and a
creme de menthe." %
Then the Irishman noticed that
the Englishman had but one leg,
and leaning over to him whisp-
cred:
Excuse me, but would you mind
telling me how you lost your let?'
The Englishman looked at him
patronizingly for a moment, then
said:
We'll, my man, it was this way.
There was a little Irish blood in
my veins, and it settled in my
leg, so had my let cut Off"
Well" said the Irishman, cts
too bad it didn't settle in your
head. >" ~

POISONS

Poison gases, thrown off by thou
sands of autos, are the chief cause
of the city dwellers' headaches, ir-
ritability, nervousness, frequent
nausea and that call in'' feeling.
This is the belief of Bundesen
health commissioner of Chicago.
Sounds possible. You know that
a man is apt to be asphyxiated if
he runs his auto engine in the gar
age while the doors are closed.
Fresh air and plenty of it, re-
cuperate us at night, is the only
real antidote. Gradually our bodies
will adapt themselves to auto ex-
haust and other city poisons-de-
velop the necessary power of re-
sistance.

JOHN HERRING AND
HIS GAZETTE,

The delightful little City of Tiff.
ton has many things for which i
Is or should be thankful, one O
which is the possession of a daily
newspaper with an editor of tnt
ype of John L. Herring.
It's brave man who attempts
to conduct daily in a city of less
than 10000 people. This Mr.. Her
ring has done and because of his
determination and love for his
home, the merchants of Triton
should, if for no other reason,
contribute their full support.
Many things have been accom-
plished in the city and county that
could not have been but for its
daily paper. A city which expects
to go forward is under a distinct
handicap if it has no daily news,
paper.
The Daily Triton Gazette was
nine years old Friday, September
Ia. The Weekly Gazette is %
years older than the daily. Edt-
tor Herring tells something of the
trials and tribulations that have
faced him in issuing his daily. He
says:
"Not always-in fact, at no
time--has il. been easy to publish
daily newspaper in a town
with a population growing from
1881 in 1910 to 3,005 in 1920.
In fact, we do not recall that
there is another daily paper
which is strictly a newspaper, IN
another town of this population
in the United States, and from
the best information we have
there is not another newspaper
( in the wrold in a town of the
population of Triton. that car
ries an Associated Press servs
ice. We mention this to show
that the Job of giving Triton
daily newspaper has been one
that was not always easy. But
at the beginning we knew the
task We were undertaking.
Judging the future by the
nine years past, We can forecast
what the Daily Gazette can
mean to Triton. Viewing this,
the question naturally arises,
What would Tifton's future be
without daily newspaper? Can
Triton afford to try to get along
without one? If you believe such
a newspaper is necessary to Tiff
ton, that it has justified its exis-
tence, then give it your support.
r No newspaper can exist without
the support of strong eonstitu-
ency."
In speaking of Editor Herring's'
frank statement to his people. The.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun hopes it
win result in an increase in both
advertising and circulation.
when the Gazette became a /
daily there was much Division 8
among the people of the little
city, says the Enquirer-Sun,
"but in the years that followed
this division gradually disap-
peared, and to the Gazette is
due great credit for the part it
had in bringing the people to-
gether and inducing them to
work together for the growth
and development of Triton.

200 HENS ON EVERY
FARM WOULD DOUBLE
AVERAGE FARM INCOME.

The average income of Georgia
farms last year was $4,000. This
sum could have been doubled with
200 laying hens.
Two counties in California last
year sold in New York $27OOO,OOO
worth of eggs.
Already this year Mitchell
county has sold nine car loads of
chickens at $4,000 car, or $27,-
600. FA VI
The above statements were
made last week to members of the
Sumter County Poultry Associa-
ton by Mr.. Mccoy, representative
of the State College of Agricul-
ture.
To which S. F. Howe, Sumter
county poultryman, added: will
contract with the Sumter County
Poultry Association to buy all
hatchable eggs its members may
produce within the next year at 60
cents Dozen"
Few Georgians, realize the prog
ress that has been achieved in the
production of poultry during the
last two years. In many section CO.
operative sales have been promot-
ed, the result of which encourage
the farmer and poultrymen to re-
new his efforts. y
"There is not a State in the
Union more adapted for the
profitable production of poultry
than Georgia, with its fertile
grain lands and natural poultry
ranges ays d South Georgia

the State that doesn't offer

throughout the State are assist
ing in the marketing of poultry,
and the cooperative plan has
solved a long-starding problem.
More and better chickens" is
wise and timely slogan"
"Georgfa's fame as a poultry
raising State is going abroad,
says the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
"The progress that has been
made in this industry in Georgia
is known outside the State, be-
cause it is growing to be a really
big business. The Lakeland, Fla,
Star-Telegram has the following:
"Please read this, you Flor
ida poultry raisers! Georgia's
wealth was Increased in the last
twelve months due solely to
the development of the poultry
industry in that State. Accord
ing. to authentic reports from
county agents to the Georgia
departments of agriculture, the
incubator capacity has been in
creased from 10000 to half
million chickens a year. Poultry
is now being shipped in carload
lots on cooperative basis, thus
assuring the shippers more
stable market and better prices"

Poultry raising is both interest
ing and profitable. 1t is not "just
a woman's job" Its possibilities
challenge even the best and big
gest farmers. 1t is one of the de-
partments of farming and an i'm
portant one. ssSSE slR
A few good hens, generously
fed and carefully tended will turn
bankruptcy into success.
However, the fellow who is lazy
and shiftless and doesn't care a
darn whether he pays his bills or
no, had best let poultry alone. Its
not a lazy mans job.
