A BOON TO BUSINESS

The cooperative sales have
been a boon to the big business.
It has eliminated the hog specu-
later. The man was too far
from a packing house to carry
his hogs for direct sale, of who
did not have enough hogs to ship
in CARROTS, was at the mercy of
the hog buyers going over the
country and picking them up for
under their value. The sale has
put the top price in reach of the
man with only one hog to sell.
1t has done more than that. 1t
has stimulated hog production.
It has brought the hog raisers
together. They have seen the
hogs in bulk and the money in
bulk and it is a more inspiring
sight than selling two or three
hogs at q time.-Moultrie OBJ

FINEs COR sPEEDERs

It is evident that the NUM-
cipal courts cannot afford to be
lenient with speedcrs. Life is
worth much more to the. commun-
ity than a suspended sentence to
some violator.
The safety of the public is
more to be considered than the
pocketbook of some reckless au-
tomobile driver.
Every city recorder should see
to it that his court decisions do
not tend to condone speeding
and to increase the danger of
traffic to the lives of the commun
ity.-Waycross Journal.

"As TO MANUAL TRAINING j,

There should be somthing
more to an education than merely
training the mind to think and
the tongue to speak. The hands
are a very useful part Of the hui
man body, when trained along
the right lines, and the training
of the hands Of the average boy
or girl should receive some at
tention while the mind and
tongue are being schooled.
1t won't hurt any boy or girl
to know how to use his OF her
hands. In fact, it might help
to keep a good many Oh them out
of mischief if their hands were
trained and accustomed TO
some worth while occupation. We
may be old-fashioned, but our
idea is that a girls hands Were
made for some other purpose
than to hold a mirror and apply
rouge and other facial adorn-
ments, while it's not difficult to
see that the lads hands could be
trained to a more useful occupa-
tion than embracing a soda fount
glass and his feet could be put
to more remunerative occupations
than stepping on the accelerator.
This is an agricultural COM
munity and the future success
and prosperity of the section de-
ponds upon the proper develop
ment of our agricultural re-
sources. How else is this great
natural wealth to be developed,
except in the proper training of
the boys and girls along agricul-
tural lines? Along with their
reading, writing and arithmetic,
our girls should be taught not
only domestic science and domes-
tic art, but poultry raising, but
ter making, canning, preserving
and the like, while the import
ance of training the boys in ag-
ricultural pursuits animal hus-
banlry and the care of trees
and orchards should not be over
looked. Dividing Gaul into three
parts may be sufficient exercise
for the idle rich, but the average
youth of this section needs to
know something about making
three ears of corn grow where
only one grew before and putting
cows and hens on the farm that
will triple the production of the
old timers.-Tifton Gazette.

A Texas professor figures out
that materials in a human body
could be bought at the drugstore
for SO cents. The body, he esti-
mates, contains enough iron to
make a nail. enough water to wash
pair of blankets, and sufficient
lime TO whitewash a small building,
These materials, however, are
not the real person. The body is to
the spirit or soul what the auto is
to its driver.
There is, by the way. nothing
new in the professors discovery.
The same story appears every three

 Spain and Portugal, according to officials of the Russian government, are the only nations in Europe that have not taken steps, official or other wise, to bring about closer relations with Russia. Canada and the United States, the Soviet officials declare are also endeavoring to enter into closer trade relations with Russia.
 At the present time official negotia- tions are in progress between Russia and eleven other countries are seeking to establish trade relations.
