The Oceans Depth.

One of the strangest things in physical
geography is the irregularity OF the ocean
bed Depths vary from a fathom or two to
many miles Shadows may be found in all
the seas, while reefs are familiar to all nav-
gators because one of the most particular eff
forts made by governments is the chartng
OF such dangers.
There are many places where the oceans
depth is known to be miles in extent. In
mid Atlantic waters the depth is so great
that soundings never are taken. 1t has been
found that the depth there is anywhere from
one to five miles. This also applies to the
noted for its great depth. In Bering sea there
are numerous shadows. Frequently the pro-
peller of a steamer in Boring sea waters will
muddy Them stirring up the alluvial deposit
on the ocean floor.
The irregularity OF the sea bottom is all
the more remarkable because of the known
fact that for ages deposits have been swept
into the ocean by the process of erosion. The
impression would be that this would tend to
remove the irregularities OF the ocean floor
by filling the low places. Yet the irregularl-
ties are found after millions OF years OF ero-
sion 1t is said that if all the land were cut
down to sea level with the surplus thrown
into the ocean and distributed in the deep
est places it still would be from one-half to
mile in depth everywhere.
Mt Everest is 10000 feet high, about five
and one-haf miles. At point about AS
miles from Toxic in a southeastery direction
Mt Everest could be completely submerged,
with the summit more than one-half mile be-
low the surface. The Japanese naval survey
ship Manshu recently determined that the
sea at that point was 32636 feet in depth,
more than six miles This is the lowest
known place on the earth's crust. The next
lowest known depth was discovered by the
United States naval ship Nero off the east
coast of the island of Mindanao in the Philip
pines The Nero found a depth there o.. 81

air Enough.

American citizens may not enter Russia
for any purpose whatsoever until the Unit
ed States recognizes the soviet regime. This
is the decision arrived at by Moscow officials
who have ordered visas of passports refused.
In consequence, citizens OF the United States
have started homeward from European points
whence they expected to enter Russia.
This ought to impress Americans, native
or naturalized citizens, as fair enough. Rus
sia's present government is viewed in Wash
ington as impossible. Recognition has been
withheld for reasons that have been explain
ed many times by the state department The
status of relations between the two coun-
tries, therefore, is simply that no relations
exist 1t practically amounts to official Amer
lea ignoring the soviet governments exist
ence, for despite Washington's cognizance
of the Moscow propaganda disseminated here
and its encouragement of the third interna-
tiona1e in its efforts to incte revolution in the
United States, no recognition OF any kind is
permitted.
Yet at this time the source of the world S
greatest capital is cut off from Russia in a
degree that is bound to delay that country S
progress. Russia has been attempting for
months to float European loans and with in
different success. Sooner or later, if the light
of reason ever is to permeate the Russian ma
tional life and illuminate its outlook, Ameri-
can capital courage and initiative will have
to notwithstanding first, OF course, per-
mission for such operations.
Thus it may be seen that the high-handed
policies of Moscow injure Russia more than
they hurt this country. Russian consulates
at ports of entry may continue to refuse vi
sas of Americans passports, and the out
standing fact is that the soviets injure most
themselves their country and their people.
In time this will come to be known by the
Russian people. Sooner or later Russia will
ask help of America and will meet the re-
qurements this country will exact

More Small Farms.
From the Savannah News.

According to survey embracing more
than thirty states, including the southern
states, made by financial organization, there
have been 220 per cent more farms-ln num-
ber-so1d in the south this year than last
wear. Not only was the number OF sales OF
farms more than doubled in the south, but
the south led the whole country in this mat
ter OF farmland activity With an unprece-
IDENTIFY large increase in the sale OF the mum
Der OF farms" the acreage sold is only seven
per cent over the year past. This spells only,
one thing-as plainly as two and two:
There are many more small farms in the
south than last year. Small farms increasing
means that there are more farmers acquiring
land for their own personal use. Small farms
mean that there will be diversihcation OF
farming over greater area OF the south than
formerly-for the big plantations universally
run to the one-crop system. Small farms
mean that there will be more intensive cult
walton. Small farms mean that there will be
more intelligent farming. Small tarms-as
strange as it may appear-always indicate
healthy sign: That the farmer is to make a
living on the place first The small farmer
more often is independent OF the rest OF the
producing world than the big planter All
round the figures are most encouraging and
significant OF another good safe, long step
forward in the agricultural progress OF the
south.

A New Lesson in Thrift.

More than a half billion dollars, it is esti-
mated, is paid out by banks at this season OF
the year to christmas club" depositors.
These payments represent the growth OF a
system which in the short space of ten years
has come to be one of the greatest thrift
schemes in the country. 1t was instituted and
has been fostered by the banks, and it
forms one of the greatest contributions
to economic independence ever advanced in
this country. 1t is the greatest teacher OF
systematic saving the country has expert
enced.
If the hundreds of millions of dollars saw
ed by hundreds of thousands of people week
ly were dsspated in one wild wave of reck-
less holiday spending this weekly money saw
ing scheme would be nothing more than
wasting at the bunghole what was saved at
the spigot But bank officials all over the
country give the information that each year
has seen an increasingly large per centage OF
these yearly deposits turned into permanent
savings. The people have not only been taught
to save, but they have been taught the real
principles of thrift The banks have done an
other real service

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
READING.

call to mind that ancient one, that
wise old rooster Solomon. With sad, bored
looks he said "Gadzooks, the world has got
too many books" The centuries have passed
since then, but still the author jerks his pen
to write the annals of his times, the novels
and the rural rhymes. We ought to buy
some weighty tones and keep them IN our
rural homes We ought to snatch some time
TO read before our brains have run to seed.
We ought to pull our boots at night and
spread ourselves beneath the light to ponder
words of bards and seers, the wisdom OF the
ancient years. not failing oft to make eXcur-
sion within the good King James, his version.
"Oi making books there is no end'-When
Solomon that maxim penned printing
press had ever run, the food of books had
Just begun Though Sol to reading was IN
clned some other things were on his mind.
He had to be nations warder and keep
eight hundred wives in order. Our wives now
hold a different station, with much more
self-determination. In his day men were still
the bosses, but husbands are total loss
es. Then, too, by every Christian creed one
wife apiece is all we need, which gives us
lots more time to read. BOB ADAMS.

The Day of DAYS.

Thursday will come the best and gladdest
day of all the year. The whole year has
labored to bring forth this one blessed day
consecrated to a child and to making chill
dren happy. Why should not the children be
eager and overlooking with enthusiasm? Who
would deny them. or restrain them? Does II
not make older hearts young again to wit
ness the children's eagerness and share with
them their enthusiasm on the day OF Joyful
anticipation? What are we all but children
grown tall? Do we not all of us, remember
those golden hours OF childhood when we
awaited with like impotence the dawn OF
Christmas day?
These are the supreme joys of childhood
the Joys of the marvellous Christmas time.
This is the most wonderful time in life--the
enchanted Christmas season, when children
are transported to faryland, borne on the
wings of love- What delight and blessing
it is to he able to make child hearts beat
faster with happiness and child eyes shine
with the light OF JOY
The News hopes that all the children, big
and little, are keyed up to the proper pitch
this Christmas eve. 1t hopes that no child
anywhere will be overlooked by Saint Nick;
that would be dreadful if any one is forgot
ten. And it hopes that every grown-up some
how will contrive to be thoroughly inoculated
with the Christmas fever, if not his own
children from his friends children, and that
he is taking precauton that no child in his
reach will lack in happiness on this blessed
day by reason of negligence.

What's the Matter With the HeIs?'
From the Moultrie Observer.

From all parts OF the country come reports
that the hens are not ION their job" that
they are tagging behind in the way of be-
ginning their fall egg-laying usually near
ing the peak about this season.
Recently chicken raiser got in communica-
ton with relatives in other sections, brother
in California, veterinary surgeon; sister
in New York with a flock of about 400
leghorns The first replied that 'Whe Cali
fornia is shipping all manner of fruit she is
not able to produce enough hen fruit for
local consumption" And added that poultry
rasers were at loss to give a reason.
The New York party stated that the flock
is turning out about three and half dozen
eggs day now, l don't knoY why my hens
are not laying this fall it's mystery to me,
as they are in fine condition. It's shame, too,
for eggs are 90 cents dozen at the yard
fence"
Several large locks in Colquitt county are
not laying to any extent. The hens have
been we'll cared for, the season has been just
right since August, and poultry raisers are
at a loss to account for it.
In the meantime the farmer who can bring
we1l-hled basket of eggs to town with him
finds no difficulty in disposing OF them at
good prices.

Obedience to Law.

foundation stone of character, and should

Commenting upon recent address OF Judge
Hill the Madisonian says:
Judge H. Warner Hill, of the state supreme
court, in an address upon obedience to the
law and loyalty to the constitution before the
Atlanta Lawyers club said some things that
should command attention He wildly por-
traved the failure of previous civilizations and
attributed their failure to the same destroying
clements that would tear down the institu-
tons of our own government. Judge Hill
said:
"A deliberate violator OF the law is an enc
nv OF the republic and is not worthy OF citi-
zenship in it. When law has been enacted
by legal authority it should be obeyed and
respected If constitutional democracy is to
be maintained established authority must be
respected and upheld and ii this is so it must
begin at the hearthstone and end in the court
house The only safety for the citizen in his
life, liberty, reputation property is i'll the
enforcement of just and constituted laws. Ii
the law is bad repeal it. The best and surest
way to have bad law repealed is to enforce
it. Any other course means an obhteratlon
OF property and individual rights and lber-
ties"

The Sin Of Wastefulness.
From the Winder News.

Wastefulness is sin. 1t is a crime against
God and against the human race. Our prog
ress along all lines is retarded because OF
this sinful habit that has become fixed in hu-
man nature Wastefuness should be frowned
upon in the home in the churches and in the
schools The poverty and suffering is appall-
ing.
We waste our time. We spend months and
years in idleness that should be used for our
personal growth and our financial prosperity.
Old age is made wretched, and life becomes
a pitiful thing because of the wastefulness OF
our time and OF the product OF our labor dur
ing our years OF young manhood and of mid
die age. -"
When a man wastes the product OF his
labor he despises himself and is called upon
at some time in his life to pay the price of
his foolishness.
Economy of our time and of the product
of our toll should be proclaimed upon the
housetops and heralded upon every highway.
As the spirit of Wastefulness drops out OF
our characters and as the spirt OF economy
takes its place our personalities are enlarged
our temporal needs and comforts are the
better supplied, and much OF the poverty and
wretchedness that afflict the human race will
disappear

The Elusive Pot of Gold.

All that glitters is not gold is old and
true saying A late illustration of it is given
by the Oclla Star, which says: "The return
from Florida is now to be expected. Many
who went to find the pot OF gold at the end
OF the rainbow are waiting to get enough
money together to come back to good old
Georgia, where living is normal and there is
a steady job. This country is not going to
boom, but it is going to prosper. Better stick
with it." The News hears similar reports.
Many have already come back and others
are coming every day. And all bring the
same report-that Florida is a paradise for
millionaires, but is no place for a poor man
who has to hustle for living. There is no
better section than South Georgia, and most
OF those who drift away return as soon as
they can.

About Tobacco.

Commenting on recent statement in The
News that considerable tobacco will be
planted in Terrell county next year" the Fit
Gaines Georgian says: Farmers in Clay coun-
ty have displayed but little interest in the
possibilities OF tobacco growing And it is
not probable that much of the weed will be
planted in this county" A number of farm
ers in the Fl. Gaines region, says the Geor-
gian, 'lost heavily tobacco some four sea-
sons ago Doubtless that fact serves locally
to dampen enthusiasm for Lady Nicotine as
profit fletcher" The crop produced in other
sections of the state this year brought the
growers handsome returns and the farmers
of Terrell believe they do as we'll They
will go about it the right way to insure sue
cess by planting a small acreage and Gull
tivatng it under the direction of an experience
ed tobacco grower.

Your Rabbit Foot.
From the Macon County Citizen.

In the minds OF many the superstition re-
garding the luck of a rabbit foot is connect
ed with the American negro, but it appears
that the idea is of ancient origin.
AS far back as 1908 medical book advised
the carrying of a rabbit foot as preventive
of rheumatism 1t also recommended that to
avoid toothache the gums should be scraped
with an iron nail until they bleed, after which
the nail should be driven into wood up to
its head. Nothing is suggested as to the
remedy for blood poisoning or lockjaw which
might result from the treatment.
There is no end to old fallacies and super
stitions, such as those quoted above, and to
this day many equally ridiculous ideas per-
sist among otherwise sensible people.
