Georgia s Great Loss

In the death of w. A. Win
burn, Georgia not only sustains
the loss of really outstanding
figure, but in his passing there is
taken from the stage OF life one
of the master builders and de
velopers of generation. A
young man, in the very prime of
life, equipped for and engaged
in one of the greatest tasks ever
undertaken by any Georgian, W.
A. Winburn was a man whose
attainments had already attract
ed more than passing attention
among big business men of
America, by whom he was
esteemed a man worthy of car
rying any undertaking however
large, to a successful conclusion.
In Georgia, where Mr.. Winburn
was personally known to SO
many, and here in Americas,
where his genial personality and
high ideals had endeared him to
scores of friends. his death is
felt even more keenly than in
that broader field in which his
genius as a builder had made
him a prominent figure. In rail
road and business circles
throuqhout the South and in the
councils of the nations busin ess
men the death of w A. WIN
burn has created void that will
be difficult to fill; in his passino
a man is gone whose work will
remain ALWAYS with Georpians
as monument to his ability.

THE WORLD BELONGS TO A
FIGHTING FEW

When you lose faith in your
self your handspring has run
down-the rest of the works are
useless. You are letting time
pass without making a record
you are all wrong inside and a
glance at your face shows every
body that you are out OF order.
You are just occupying the
space Of a man--tit only to be
directed and fitted merely for
the little posts of life where
hands and feet are paid for only
by the time per hour. You have
judged yourself and passed adj
verse sentence-tha world won't
reverse the decision. You can
no longer direct yourself, SO you
must be driven.
The rest Of US are not cheat
ing our hour Of opportunity and,
since YOU don't care, we haven't
the time TO care for you. You
can come as fast as we 90, but
we won't carry you on. You
have the same right of way, but
not the right to weigh on our
backs
The thng-the only thing
that can save you is a rewinding
of the handspring -dotermina-

In the meantime, by the grad

lesson of growing many profitable
crops that have now become as
staple as cotton.
The creation of many success

small dairy herd profitable and
this in turn makes the pasture
profitable.
Hog and poultry raising have

In some sections melons. canta-
loupes, vegetables-particularly
peppers--have become extreme

White and sweet potatoes
the latter gradually becoming a

The fact that Georgia's farm

A Beauty Parlor Now

There was a time when dad
was the only customer in the
family for the barber shops.
Shaving became too expensive
and dad bought safety razor.
But nowadays the whole fam
lily visits the barber shop every
week or so, Little Mary and Tiny
Ann must have their necks clip
ped and hair bobbed; Bill and
John and Henry have heads
clipped every four or five weeks.
Now Big Sis and Mother ac-
company Little Sis, for it, a hair
bob ana shoe shine and a
shampoo about as often as dad
used to shave.
The plain oId-fashioend, an
Gent and honorable shave is
the only thing the barber has
to sell that does not appeal
to his lady customers, says the
Albany Herald, and adds-
hair cuts, singes, messages,
tonic rubs, shines-all of these
now belong as much to the wo-
men patrons of the tonsorial
shops as they do to the men"
The Atlanta Georgian de-
clares that the old-time barber
shop now is known as a beau
ty parlor, that isn't neglected
by any one in the family, unless
it is father. Says the Georgian:
Father used to think his bar
Der bill really amounted to an
item worth considering every 30
days; now he buys himself
safety razor and economies as
much as possible on his own ton
serial expense, while mother, sis
ter, cousins and aunts see to it
that the erstwhile little barber
shop bill doesn't lack for 'atten-
tIon-only they call the barber
shops beauty parlors," and no
man ever would have had the
nerve to do that!
Now who's to blame for this
added family expense? Was it
the good locking mancurist who
held dads hands once or twice
a yeek3 Maybe mother and the
girls got the habit of visiting the
barber shop through watching
dad through the glass front.

We won't talk glibly, dismally, Of

But still it has some sunny smiles

Are you satisfied with movies as
they are. or do you want better
stuff? In New York state, various
prominent organizations band TO-
gether, urging ''non-theatrical
movies" BY this they apparently
mean educational movies.
That will come by evolution, cant
be rushed. Day may come when edU-
cational movies will be more popular
than ficional movies-but not in our
generation. The moving picture is
destined to be second-greatest edu-

Often you wonder why men Of
superior brains and ability lose out
while men Of inferior brains and
talents rise TO success and gain the
whip-hand. Professor Bingham, Of
Carnegie Institute of Technology,
finds that superiority in intelligence
contributes less to business success
than does superiority i'll such things
as personality.
In other words, there are so
many Grouches and crabs in the
world, that people are glad to pay d
premium to the genial. That prem
ium is success.
