SAVING YOUR FACE
8v DR.. Frank Crane

Dy DR.. Frank Crane
The great business of saving ones face has
probably made more trouble than any other
one phase of egotism.
Many a man has resigned a good job and
sacrificed fair prospects to save his face.
More than one woman has left the husband
she really loved and condemned herself TO
miserable loneliness just to save her face.
father often persists in stubbornness and
cruelty toward his child even after the fires
of resentment have died down and left only
the cold ashes of vanity, just to save his face
There have even been girls that have Tilted
the man they really loved and married Sec
ond rater just to save their face.
It is amazing how much steady misery we
are willing to endure how much discomfort,
for the sake of our face.
And what is face? Why should we value
it more than heart? In other words, why
should I break my heart to save my face?
Or why should 1 wreck my pocketbook to
save my face?
Saving my face means that I value my rep
utation more than my character that l think
more of what people will say than do of my
honest estimate of myself, and that value
publicity more than justice.
Saving ones face even gets to be of nation
al and international Importance.
A recent newspaper editorial declares that
probably the greatest obstacle to a peaceable
settlement of affairs between Germany and
France is that M. PoincGre has face to save,
and Herr Cuno has face to save
that whatever they going to accomplish
in the Ruhr they certainly not going to
make the adventure pay; and the Germans
realize that their passive endurance will not
make the French withdraw.
The reason why the two parties are p~'sist-
ing in their obstinacy, and why they do not
get together and solve the whole question for
the benefit of the people of both nations, is
that they have their faces to save.
The Frenchman has whooped things up ct
home to arouse a national spirit for his back
ing. and now that he has aroused it, it is
pushing him on in policy that he must KIN
will be disastrous.
The way things are being managed now
between France and Germany by the govern
ments of both countries makes sure economic
losses. vast hatreds, and violence.
One reason why Mr. Lloyd George was sue
cessful for so many years was that he didn't
mind when people called him shifty an / in
consistent, and that he was perfectly willing
to drop one plan and try another when neces-
sary. He was more anxious to get things
done than he was to save his face.
Perhaps the most potent reason why the
United States persists IN it's present falIacy of
isolation is that there are so many faces to
save. e+svz>Z. & 7 s1s75

QUIPS AND QUIDDlTIES

The great Lord Salisbury was noted for his
immense capacity in failing to recognize even
those with whom he was in daily contact. In
his "reminiscences Douglas Ainslie relates the
incident of the neighboring squire dropping
in to lunch "Lady Salisbury was rather ap-
prehensive that her husband might fail to rec
ognize this somewhat obscure person and was
greatly relieved to find when Lord Salisbury
entered the dining room a little later that he
Immediately engaged their homespun guest
in conversation, which he kept up vigorously
till the end of the repast when the squire
rather hastily took his leave. Lord Salisbury
then casually remarked: 4 was glad Lord
Roberts dropped in to luncheon today; but
fear he is not what he was Intellectually. He
appeared to me to be remarkably vague as to
our military dispositions in Egypt and his
views on Indian questions seemed even more
nebulous But we all grow older"
The shabby-looking girl approached the
employment manager of a cafeteria and asked
for work. There was something about her
CHASTITY pallor and nervous shyness that ar
rested attention. "Where did you work last?"
she was asked. The girl, after writhing hcr
shoulders and twisting her gloves, burst out
with, "Aw, may as well tell the truth. I'm
just out of prison. My husband is StllI IN. we
were sent up for raising bills. I used to slice
the bills edgewise and he would paint the
blank sides. But now want to go straight"
That's all right little girl said the en-
p1oyment manager alphabetically. Talent
like yours isn't going to be wasted long. Come
right along, now. We have job for you at

BY BERTON BRALEY
" HE highways stretch across the land
From there to there, from here to
there;
But right and left on either hand
Are cross-ways leading everywhere,
They make you sort of want to know
Where do the little crossroads go?
The highways show upon the maps,
They pass through cities and !nough
states.
The little roads-they may perhaps
Lead to mansions splendid gat7}
Or to cottage snug and low
Where do the little crossroads go?
The stream of traffic passes by,
Few are the cars that ever turn,
To follow where the byways lie,
Yet had time I'd like to learn
Whittier they wander, to and fro,
Where do the little crossroads go?
To camps in forest places wild,
To tiny hamlet mid the trees,
To spots where fortune never smiled,
To myriads of goals like these;
There roads may turn and twist-heigho!
Where do the little crossroads go?

Just Among Ourselves

~ URING the past four months we have re-
ceived many thousands of subscrip-
tions Nearly all of these have been
not only for The Tri-Weekly Journal but also
for the others papers or the fruit collections
we offered in our combinations
In view of the great number of names we
lave handled, the percentage of complaints
has been small. But at that, it has been very
much too large to suit us. The Tri-Weekly
Journal wants to give 100 per cent service to
its patrons. They are entitled to it, and if it
is humanity possible we intend to give it,
The number of complaints of failure to re-
celve The Tri-Weekly Journal itself has been
extremely small.
Most of them have been because of failure
combinations.
Now, bear this in mind, please: We pub
ish only The Tri-Weekly Journal. The 9TH
n papers offered in our combination are pub
ished by other people and, except for the
jouthern Ruralist and the Southern Cultiva-
,or, in other cities.
When we receive your order for a combint-
ion we put your name on our own mailing
ist, and Immediately send your order to the
lgent of the other publishers, and pay to them
he part of your remittance that covers the
other papers. He then sends your order to
The publishers of those papers.
II you receive your Tri-Weekly Journal
promptly after RENTING (HpromptIy'' means
about one week after you mail your order)
you can be sure that your order has been
properly handled by US. The fact that you
get our paper proves that, for when we enter
other papers.
> Now the other papers are published either
weekly or twice a month or once a month.
And without any desire to reflect on them,
we tell you that you cannot expect the%sam
prompt service from all of them that you get
from u.s.
Suppose you mailed to us on February %
an order for our Combination 19-A. This in
cludes The Tri-Weekly Journal, the Alabama
Times Ga weekly, and three monthly publ
cations, Gentlewoman Magazine, Parks Flora
Magazine and Home Circle MAGAZINE.
Your order would not reach us till Febru
airy rs, maybe 26. By February 27 your name
would be entered on The Tri-Weekly Journal
list and you would receive the next issue pub
lished after that date. And also on the 28th
the agent here would receive our order tc
send you the other four publications. In the
case of the Alabama Times, which is publish
ed at Montgomery you should get their paper
dated about the 10th of March. In the case
of the three monthly magazines, your order
would reach them too late for you to get the
March issues, but your subscription would
start with the April issue and you should get
4 full year from that date.
That's the way it would go if no errors
were made, or if all of the publishers were
up with their work Of course, we all make
some errors, and some of us get behind with
our work at times.

over him that he had broken his word to her,

so, he might have forfeited her love and trust.

Sanskrit emigration and the Graeco-Persian
period All readings show that the peach has
been cultivated in China from time immemo-
rial; it has entered into the literature and
folk lore of the people; and it is designated
by a distinct name "to'' or tao" word
found in the writings of Confucius five CEN
turtles before Christ, and even in other writ
| ings dating from the tenth century before the
Christian era.
Three Hundred Varieties i'm America
Whether the peach originated in China or
Persia, one fact stands out clear and indispu-
table, the fruit has been cultivated ever since
prehistoric times All naturalists agree to
this. 1t is interesting to note that more than
three hundred varieties are cultivated in the
United States. Botanists further say that the
peach has been nowhere recognized in the
wild state. In the few instances where it is
said to have been found wild the probabilities
are the tree was an escape from civilization.
1T should be the cause of great pride and
pleasure to Georgians that neither China nor
Persia nor the whole of Europe has peach
the equal of Georgia's own alberta. No other
variety approaches it in commercial impor-
lance. The magnificent alberta was brought
to ideal perfection near the scene of the late
Peach Blossom Festival, and today it is grown
in rich productiveness in every section of the
United States congenial to the growth of
peaches. But it was not very many years
ago when it could have been said of this
Queen of the Orchard, now renowned in all
the civilized countries of the globe:
"a little peach in an orchard grew
little peach of emerald hue;
Warmed by the sun and wet by the dew
It grew"
1t is the little things of earth that make the
beauty, joy and success of life. Born a little
thing in the soil of Macon county, the Ell
berta has gone forth TO reanimate the world
with her revivifying presence. The Elbertas,
year by year, are as countless as the sands
of the seashore.
And now, hear the conclusion of the whole
matter: "The ripest peach is highest on the
tree"
