THE PENALTY OF LEADERsH1p-The new,


Daperman, in nine cases out OF ten, is the leader
Oh his respective community If he does anything
h IS censured Words OF praise and appreciation
are slow to filter his way. This being true we be-
lieve the following sermon" from certain motor
company will be appreciated by every reader of the
, Leader:
In every field OF human endeavor, he that is first
must perpetualy live in the white light OF publicity
Whether the leadership be vested in man or in d
manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever
at work.
In art in literature, in music, in industry the re-
ward and punishment always the same
The reward is widespread recognition; the pun
ishment, fierce denial and detraction. When mans
work becomes a standard for the whole world it
also becomes target for the shafts OF the envious
few. II his work be merely mediocre, it will be LETT
severely aoneif he achieves masterpiece, it will
set a million tongues a-wagging.
Jealousy does not protrude its fOrked tongue at
the artist who produces a commonplace painting.
Whatsoever Won write, or paint, or play, or sing,
or build No will strive to surpass or to
SANDER you, unless your work be stamped with the
seal of genius.
Long, long, after great work or a good work
vious, continue to cry out that it cannot be done.
Spitefu little voices in the domain of art were
raised against Whistler mountebank,
long after the big world had acclaimed him its
greatest artistic genius. Multitudes hocked to Bay
rcuth to worship at the musical shrine of Wagner,
while the little group of those whom he had de-
throned and displaced argued angry that he was
no musician at all.
The little world continued to protest that Full
ton could never build steamboat, while the big
world hocked to the river banks to see his boat
steam by.
The leader is assailed because he is leader,
and the effort to equal him is merely added proof
of that leadership.
Failing to equal or excel, the follower seeks to
deprcciate and to destroy-but only confirms once
more the superiority of that which he strives to
suppant.
There is nothing new in this
1t is as old as the world and as old as the human
passions-envy, iear-greed ambition and the de-
sire to surpass
And it all avails nothing
If a leader truly leads he remains the leader.
Master-pOet, masterpiece painter, master work
man. each in his turn is assailed and each holds
his aurels thru the ages
That which is good or great makes itself known.
no matter how loud the clamor of denial
That whioh deserves to live-lives

COOPERATIVE MARKETING-Tber ar

many people who believe that cooperative mark
citing offers more OF advantage to the producer
than any other means now proposed. Through it
the producer is enabled to help himself, which is
Just eaxactly what the producer wants, for he be-
heves IN his own ability to work out his own des-
tiny il he has open field and fair opportunity.
For these reasons the cooperative plans are being
formulated and pushed ahead in many places.
There are many producers in Georgia who know
TO their own satisfaction the financial advantages
derived from cooperative marketing They have
tried it and found it good even though it was tried
IN but small way.
The cooperative idea should be developed large
ly in the state during the coming season in many
fields and with many products. The producer be-
heVes his largest advantage now would be posi-
bic by controlling the marketing of those things
ne produces and by following his products much
nearer to the consumer The public will be inter
eted in watching the cooperative work put under
way IN the larger operations and will hope it may
bring goodly measure OF the advantage the pro-
ducer seeks. The prosperity of the producer lays
Il broad foundation for benefits to all

TENDING THE HOME PLAcE-some neonIes

TENDING THE HOME PLACE-Some peoples
idea OF identifying home is to set out shrubs and
plants and then let them take care of themselves
entirely Many people set out shrubs, not so
much because they love the beauty of these plants.
as because they have the idea that they will thrive
without effort on nyone's part
Perhaps some plants may grow all right without
attention particularly in rich soils, but as rus
tneir appearance ian be improved by care By
uiggng around them regularly, and fartilizing and
thinning as needed, shrubbery can usually be made
more attractive
Many homes around which the plants have been
neglected get run down and tangled appearance
that is worse than if nothing had been set out 1t
does take little effort to keep place well tended
but the results are so rewarding that no one in
Fitzgerald should begrudee it.
