ever, that invention which at one time
appeared to fling bold challenge to steam

by them, in numerous instances at least to

4 Matter Of Marketing

~ NE of our Alabama contemporaries, the
I sylacauga Advance, is sorely perplezed
to understand why when eggs were
ten cents dozen and "friers" fifteen cents
apiece every farmer had plenty of chickens
and eggs for sale The perplexity Of our
friend reminds us that today there are many
housewives who have forgotten, and others
who may doubt that such table "luxuries" as
eggs and chickens were so cheap. Eggs at
forty-fve and fifty cents a dozen are neither
new or novel. That price has obtained for
long time, and the same may be said of
chickens
The very fact that every farmer had
plenty Of chickens and eggs for sale" in the
days of yore probably accounts in part for
their cheapness Maybe there was an over
production. Then, too, in those days eggs
were marketed as they were laid. The
elaborate cold storage system had not been
perfected, and unless the eggs were con-
sumed Immediately they lost their value, if
not their strength.
AS matter of fact we rather incline to
the belief that the farmer who sold eggs at
Is cents in the long ago didn't fare much
worse as to the return he received than the
farmer who today engages extensively in the
production Of eggs. The storage plants
when eggs are plentiful, buy them up in
large quantities, and hold them until the
scarcity of production makes it possible to
market them at fancy prices.
The principal involved in the marketing of
eggs the year round underles the co-opera-
tive marketing idea. The men engaged in
the commercial end of the egg business do
not permit the market to become glutted
during the laying season. They buy up the
eggs and store them until such time as they
can be sold to advantage and at profit. If
the poultry men had cold storage warehouses
Of their own, they would reap the reward that
now goes to the interests that control and
handle their products. The secret of sue
cess is in orderly mark citing.

THE TAX PROBLEM

S everybody understands the situation,
~ the soil weeyil and the exodus of our
regular farm laborers have made farm
lands a liability rather than an asset in
Georgia. | have long been a farmer. The
cotton yield few years ago gave me COM
Portable living and left me a small surplus
after my taxes were paid and my living ex-
penses settled for. I might expect to put
aside little for "rainy day. by using care
and economy on my moderate farm Since
the boil Weeyi overlook us l have gone
doWn--losing more and more each year
finding 1t harder all the time to get reliable
tenants or to get anywhere like half of what
had been getting previously. I have had no
money to build new cabins or barns or fenc-
ing.
l get nothing from the farm but farm
produce, not even fuel for my own use. l
cannot help or avoid the fearful waste of
fireWood on my farm. / am too old to see
after these things. 1t is particularly and
painfully disheartening. Yesterday l asked
for statement for my taxes on this unsat-
sfactory property, and [ find they have gone
up to two dollars on every hundred dollars
assessed worth of land that l now own in
Barlow county, where I live. The land is
assessed as if it had it's former productive
capacity and there are but few acres in Gull
tivation as compared with ten years ago. I
am paying this enormous assessment on
more than half the Iand-whch does not
yield me a cent-in the twelve months, or
crop year.
I cannot afford to abandon cultivation,
for the taxes must come, and if the taxes
are not paid the sheriff can sell every acre
at public cutlery.
Our county has been piling up an unpaid
debt, said to be near (maybe mOre)
100000. The people who work for the
county are paid enormous wages, and the
taxpayer cannot sell his land because land
is liability rather than an asset under such
conditions There is no hope-not decent
prospect. The young people being raised on
such struggling property make a business of
getting away from the turmoil. They go
to teaching to other jobs that will COM
mand salary, and the land owner must
turn over twenty dollars for every thousand
he is accused of owning to pay state and
to get twenty dollars from several hundred
acres of the land I am wondering how long
can bear this strain with boil weeyil on
one side and thriftless labor on my other
side and cOnfisCating taxes There is no
regulation as to profit or loss. Whether l
make enough to pay taxes and pay my liv-
ing expenses is no consequence to the tax
gatherer. [ not allowed to pay a pro-
portionate part when I make a very small
income meet farming disasters.
The salary of all public officials always
go up-never are lowered-and unless there
is remedy that twill work. some cure for
this unprincipled taxation, there will come a
revolt that may break everybody that tries
to earn honest living by honest labor,
but these gangs that are all the time

leech's daughter, will be apt to go back

money necessary. Powder and bullets were
also used as money throughout the colonies

WIFE MURDER VERY COMMON


~ He story comes from Ohio, where it is
grayely stated that woman, preach
u er's wife, of culture and intelligence,
opened the furnace door, climbed in, with the
flames roaring up in front of her, turned
herself about and pulled in the furnace door
to make hot still hotter and thus killed
herself.
Do you believe she did it?
Was this thing possible, physically?
l have felt obliged to shut my eyes and
try to accept the three days which Jonah
spent in perfect safety, inside the whales
belly, but this modern story of the wife
pushing herself into a red hot furnace to get
rid of her home worries is more improbable
than Jonah's inside acquaintance with the ca
pacious stomach of the whale.
This woman would have been broiled with
the flames before she had placed foot and
leg on the inside of the furnace. We might
say we could airplane to the moon, spend the
day, and come back before night to our
sleeping quarters here in old Georgia, and
not expect anybody to believe it. Some things
not possible.
Somebody murdered that woman and stuck
her body in the furnace to get it out Of
sight, and it looks like an inside job to
say the least about it.
Away back in my girlhood time, a pro-
fessor of some sort in a great college near
and nobody could place him or hear of him"
Search unavailing until some ashes
and cinders were examined, carried out from
laboratory furnace, and few bones at
tracted attention. They were human bones,
as it was proved Another professor who
used the laboratory furnace was trailed To
make a long story short, the living professor
had killed the missing man, had chopped up
the body and cremated it in the furnace.
People in the vicinity recollected there had
been some bad smells, burnt SMELLS and the
whole story came out, by little details, until
the murderer confessed the killing
I remember my horror when I read about it
in our few weekly papers, may be Is years
ago. 1t seemed impossible that such a thing
could ever happen with educated professor
in a great college near Boston! But now
a-days it is Of frequent occurrence as muir
der plot.
l am of the opinion that mere education is
not protection to life and property even in
the United States of America. Some of our
shreWdest criminals are learned in books. The
Leopold and Loeb criminals in Chicago will
emphasize what I am trying to say, and while
the preachers wife might have been insane
as l believe all suicides are at the time she
did not put herself inside the furnace located
in her basement while the furnace was
redhot and would have scorched her hands
into torture while she was doing it.

THE GREAT SPECIFIC
BY H. Addington Bruce

M at its Command MANY remedie" help,
- IA full in time of illness. Every year, as
science extends it's knowledge Of bodily
mechanism and processes, medicine gains
new resources for it's warfare against dis
ease
But it never has had and never will have
any resource so universally potent as the
simple element Of faith. Without the slight
est exaggeration that may be set down as
a fundamental truism
Faith is the medicine of medicines, the
specific Of specifics
Which does not mean that all other cura-
tive agencies and measures may safely be
dispensed with The human organism being
constituted as it is, they are again and again
absolutely needful
But it does not mean that, making Of
these other aids, use should also and always
be made Of faith. And it means that, even
in the absence Of material medicines, faith
by itself has been known to accomplish mar
wells of healing.
Nay, there are occasions when faith cures
despite the use Of supposed remedies that
are not simply inert but intrinscally harm
full rather than helpful.
Thus, especially in the so-called Dark
Ages, yillainous semi-posonous concoctions
were customarily administered for this dis
ease or that. That they frequently proved
efficacous was due wholly to the faith, the
confident expectation, of the stricken that
they would surely them
SO, today, nostrums of all sorts medicinal
absurdities boast of cures so long as
faith in them is maintained. The moment
their value begins to be generally questioned,
that moment their potency begins to wane.
AS with medicines and pseudo-medicnes,
so with the practitioners who dispense them.
healer-OrthOdoX physician or self
Wanting miracle man-Who can by his per-
sOnality, his air. his manner, arouse a high
degree Of faith among his patients, is dis
tinctly at an advantage as compared with
one who has not the gift Of inspiring conf
dence. Many a really able doctor finds
himself with little to do merely because he
IS not Of faith-creating type.
This, Of course, is unfortunate. But it is
a fact that can never be left out of account
by physicians who sincerely desire to make
their expert knowledge of the greatest posi-
Bile usefulness to their fellow men. Always
they must make themselves developers OF
faith as well as dispensers of drugs.
And with regard to the sick themselves it
follows, bearing in mind the supreme i'm
portance Of faith, that having called in a
physician Of recognized competence they
should, in fairness to him and to themselves,
believe firmly in his ability to help them.
Doubling and mstrusting him, they set in
motion forces making not for health but for
greater ill-health. Faith, it cannot be too
en- phaticallv urged. must be present else all
the medical skill in the world may not avail.

Motor TRANSPORTATION,

w nlels. in the service Of commerce ssss and nd
industry, as well as for family and
individual convenience, has been frequently
noted, still more remarkable of recent years
has been their growth as adiuncts or sup
plements to other systems of transportation.
One amid many instances is that Of the mo-
tor truck units installed by the New York
Central Railroad. These, besides eliminat-
ing good deal of troublesome local freight
train traffic, arc operated in the metropoli-
tan area of New York to such advantage as
to save, 1t is said, from twenty-four to forty
eight hours time on western shipments of
certain freight. The Pennsylvania Railroad
reports upwards of three hundred miles of
motor truck units. Statistics compiled on
the first of this year showed that one hun
dred and fifty-seyen railroads were operat-
ing motor rail coaches Alert steam car,
riers, instead of fearing the motor vehicle
as competitor are using 1t as an ally.
More interesting still Is a statement from
the American Electric Railway Association
that lone hundred and fifteen street rail
way companies are operating buses as feed
ers, auxiliaries or co-ordinated branches of
their transportation systems" Thirteen bus
lines, it is added, "have replaced street rail-
way lines entirely while five electric rail
ways Operate trackless trolleys as auxiIi-
aries, feeders or co-ordinated branches Of
their transportation system" In one in
stance trackless trolley system has super
seeded the electric railway service, making
a total" according to the Associations state
ment, "of one hundred and thirty-four sepa-
rate bus or trackless trolley lines operated
in connection with or superseding street
railway lines" The States in which these
developments have taken place are Alabama,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky. Maryland,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minnesota, Missis-
sppi. Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New
York. Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylva-
MIA, and the District of Columbia. AS for
the mileage represented, the statement of
the American Electric Railway Association
says, THE one hundred and fifteen electric
railway companies operate one thousand
one hundred and ten buses over one thou
sand two hundred and eighty miles of route
in feeder. auxiliary, or co-ordinated service.
