Money That Leaves the State.
From the Sandersville Progress.

Ii all OF the money which is sent out Of
Georgia for the purchase of western supplies
could be kept at home there would be an
abundance for the transaction OF business
without the borrowing from the government
or the big loan companies OF the north If
we had no railroads for hauling western
products our people would either have to
produce what they eat, or do without A
hundred years ago, when railroads were un-
known, every large plantation was an em-
pire to itself. Bread and meat and provender
had to be provided on the farm, and on many
OF the farms the clothing, shoes and artificial
lights in the shape OF candles were produc-
ed in sufficient quantities to meet all re-
quirements. Each plantation was a manu-
featuring establishment and when properly
managed they proved to be profitable All
OF the money that was needed was for the
purchase OF sugar, coffee and fancy articles.
such as could not be produced on the farm.
Some OF them had workshops for the man
ufacture OF furniture such bedsteads,
tables, chairs. etc, and few manufactured
the wagons that were used on the plantation.
The people lived in more primitive style than
we do today but they did not accumulate
debts that they could not pay
We now have many comforts and luxuries
Of which they knew nothing. But they made
their own living and that is what should be
done TODAY.

Sticks to Article X.
From the Macon News.

The British premier has made it plain to
the League OF Nations, at Geneva, that he
regards article \ as absolutely binding.
1t will be remembered that this article
commits every member OF the league to the
proposition that all are subject to military
duty to preserve the existing political insti-
tutions and territorial integrity of any other
member from external aggression.
AT the present time there are at least half
a dozen danger zones in the world, where it
is conceivable that force might have to be
employed to protect the political status or
the territory of some nation which is now, or
cOnceivably might become member of the
league.
Some OF the more ardent advocates OF the
league, during the presidency OF Mr.. Wilson,
urged him to accept a mandate on the part
OF the United States for Armenia. HI had
survey made OF the situation and it was
found that this would require an enormous
outlay OF money, and the maintenance of a
large standing army for at least ten years.
The project was not carried into execution.
1t is sometimes said that article X is not
to be taken literally, but it is there. just the
same, and its meaning is clear. The British
premier has no doubt or misgivings as to
what it means.
day, is making certain that ogr citizen sol
diers are in a position to defend thmselves
in case OF external aggression. We will ac-
complish much if we do that
1t is not in the spirit OF our traditions or
our institutions to defend the status OF all
the other nations OF the world

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
The Rude Rural Rooster.

We have a flock OF backyard hens; we
keep the same for profit altho' it's true that
on the whole we get darn little OF it The
slogan Swat the rooster" is often seen and
heard, but still | keep among the flock that
ornamental bird. They tell me that infertile
eggs would sell and keep much better, that
| should rise and execute that useless old go
getter They say he never earned his keep;
though | admit he hasn't, | love to see him
play the part I'd like to play but dasn t.
Would | might be another such emancipated
sire, and never roll the ash cans out nor stoke
the furnace fire. Before the dawn he bats his
eyes; he crows both long and deep to tell
the hens it's time to rise while he goes back
to sleep. He dsciplines the growing chicks,
his children and the neighbors They never
sass him when he speaks the way Jim does,
by Jabers If | should try to boss my wife
most sadly | would rue it, but he can keep
a dozen meek-my gosh, how does he do it?
I'll tell you why keep the bird, you must
admit I'm foxy, for when | see him crow
and strut | rule the roost by proxy.

Georgia First in Use of Fertilizers.
From the Newman Herald and Adyertiser

FROM the newman f1erdlQ anu AuVeItlSe1'
Recent figures issued by the United States
Department OF Agriculture give Georgia first
place in the use of commercial fertilizer for
1924 with 4S3,000 tons. North Carolina is a
close second with 100000 tons. The costs OF
Georgia's fertilizer to the farmers OF the
state is over twelve million dollars. Coweta
county's share of this bill is no doubt close
to 100000 Just so long as our soils are
permitted to remain bare all winter, to be
washed and leached by every rain that falls,
Just so long will we continue to be taxed to
the extent OF 100000 each year. II every
acre could be covered with carpet of clover
or vetch during the winter, in place Of hav
ing the costly fertilizng constituents leached
out and the cream of the land carried off
down the river, how much better it would
be- Then our land would be getting richer
instead of poorer; our fertilizer bill would
get less and our crops bigger.
This county has made start in the right
direction More crimson clover is grown in
Coweta than in any other county in Gcor-
gia. A carload OF vetch seed has been
bought for planting this fall. Yet, with all
this, less than one per cent OF the land in
the county will be planted to a winter legume
this fall One acre out of each hundred will
be improved, while ninety-nine are allowed
to wash away.
How long, O Lord. how long,"

SOME MORE PRoGREssIvIsM.

From the Northeast Georgian
Among the many things southern boys and
girls will learn at school this year in some
colleges IS that sir" and "maam" are used
only by servants in addressing their superiors
1t will be hard for many OF them to keep
from saying yes, sir" and no ma am" af-
ter having been taught from their infancy
that it was the proper way to address peo-
pie Many boy has gotten a "ickn'" for
answering his parent yes" when if he had
only said yes UNI or 'yes'er" he would have
been respectful

Our political jazz artists want to take the
government to pieces and rearrange the parts
in imitation OF the Russian model. They
want to do away with the supreme court
buy or confscate the railroads, and put the
proletariat. as they call the common people,

gram but too jazzy for most Of us who
would Ike an opportunity to get Our debts

1t is not the very rich nor the abject poor
in whom the hope OF the nation lies, but in
what Booth Harrington has pictured the re-
spectacle middle class. Too many million
aires on one hand and too many paupers on

the great middle class OF average citizens and
average families, with their average faults
and average virtues most surely constitute
an impregnabe safeguard OF virile national

The Bobbed Hair Craze.

A few years ago when women and girls
first had their hair bobbed there was little or
10 concern. for bobbed hair was regarded as
passing fad Today there is deepest concern,
for the fad has proven craze" sixty per
cent of the women and girls in cities and
larger towns having bobbed hair. There is
concern to them and every one else for sew
era1 reasons.
In the larger cities the BARRIERS demand
for the initial bob from 81 to S., because it
takes twice or three times as long to bob a
woman's hair that it does to cut a mans
hair For the second bob they are charging
from Is cents to s. so. Such prices the wo-
men declare are Outrageous" and perhaps
they are. But the BARRIERS say the prices must
stand or the shops will lose, for besides the
time element the women are driving the men
out OF the shops. The BARRIERS say that men
in larger numbers are shaving themselves
because they cannot wait till the fair patrons
who are monopolizing the shops are served

In this political year we are having many
nostrums and suggestions for the betterment
OF the people. But the fact remains that the
main trouble is with the human nature, and
no law is going to be made to change it. The
only line OF reform that is possible is for
every person to undertake the job OF reform
ing himself, but mighty few seem to be i'm
bued with a spirit OF self reform. We are
still wanting laws to reform the other fellow,
OF course. That is a common human trait.
