Greatness Through Service
BY DR.. Frank Crane
x REATNESS Is only through service.
The idea of being "one's own mas

u REATNESS is only through service
IT The idea of being "ones own mas
teri and doing exactly as one pleases
is merely pettiness and disgusting selfshness.
We attain to liberty only when we have
renowned all low and unworthy masters and
have found the one who to us is the highest.
When one of the stern old generals OF Rome
was contending with a rival for the imperial
throne a certain soldier, thinking to do his
masters pleasure, cut off the rivals head
and brought it dripping with blood to mis-
lord, and the old general said to him: "Quis
iussit commilto?" (Who ordered that,
comrade?) AS if a Romans greatness lay
only in obedience.
You have doubtless wondered at the mar
velous rise and still more marvellous per-
manence OF the Mahometan faith. How
a horde of half-naked barbarians poured
out of the dry womb of Arabia, overturned
the immemorial dynasties Of the orient, and
almost extinguished the light of European
civilization.
The secret of their success is found in their
own name for their religion; for they do not
call it Mahometanism, as we call ours Chris
tianity. They call it Islam; and as nearly as
we can translate that untranslatable word 1t
means "It is the will of God!" For an
ignorant savage who has learned how to obey
will overthrow false and faithless knight,
though armed with "brass and triple steel"
Abraham was the founder OF that race
which has taught spirituality to the world,
and which persists and keeps it's blood true
to a greater degree than any other stock
Why, according to Hebrew legend, was this
man chosen? Among all the citizens of
earth, why was this man Of Ur picked out by
the eye of God as most worthy to be the
father Of the faithful" Read the account
of the sacrifice on Mount Moriah, and you
will see. Abraham raises his hand to Stay
his son; he knows not why, only that he has
been told by is friend and master, Jehovah.
Then Jehovah cries. "Stay thy hand! At
last l have found the one man who knows
how to obey! And in him according to the
prophecy, shall all the world be blessed.
The noblest battle in history was that at
Thermopylae, where handful Of Greeks
fought till they died against the swarming
hordes of Persians And the reason why it
ranks as the supreme instance of patriotism
is found in the inscription on the monument
their countrymen set up there: stranger,
go and tell our people that we died having
obeyed their words"

OUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

The head of the house had telephoned
that he would bring home guest to lunch
eon-a guest whom his wife realized he
would delight to honor.
Preparations were made accordingly with
results satisfactory to her hospitable and
housewifey heart.
Unfortunately six-year-old Gladys came in
trife late. Sweeping the table with an all
embracing glace, "Hum" she muttered, au-

said her mother, with repressive gesture.
But Gladys was not to be stayed.

North Wales railway station, and John Ev-

rocous bulldog.

the youthful assistant in the Texas hotel
came bouncing in on him without knocking,

"Of course I rang"

required for the crops maturity is generally
recognized as reasonable and just. Certainly
there cannot be due progress either in con-
serving or in renewing timber growth while
tax methods provoke rapid cutting and
penalize replacement.
A most seasonable section of the pending
bill is that directing the States forestry Of
ficials "'To assist and cooperate with, under
will best serve the public interest, any Fed
eral or State department, or institution,
county town, corporation or individual in
the preparation and execution of plans for
the protection, management, replacement, or
extension of the forest, woodland and
roadside or other tree growth in the
State" While this provision vii have
many uses, it is particularly apt in
woodland and roadside or other tree growth
in the State" While this provision will
have many uses, 1T is particularly apt in
view of the recent passage by Congress of
the McNary-Clarke forestry measure Great
ing an annual fund of two million seven
hundred thousand dollars to be employed in
reforesting barren acres through coop
GRAFTON between the Federal and the State
Governments. Without a duly empowered
and duly functioning forestry board Georgia
could not share In this aid which doubtless
will be made more liberal few years hence.
There are sundry other well-considered
provisions, but these are typical of the con-
structive intent and thorough soundness of
the Rountree bill. Its plan for raising the
relatively small appropriation needful to
maintain the proposed forestry service ap-
pears to be quite equitable and is approved,
we are told, by the rank and file of the in
terests to whom it pertains. If anyone has
a better system he should give the General
Assembly the benefit of his suggestion. 1t
is greatly to be hoped that the Legislature
will not adjourn without granting Georgia
an adequate forestry law she so urgently
needs.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. Il. FELTON,

THE KENNESAW MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL
TN HE determination of the U. D. c. wom-
en- to memorabilia the famous battle on
- Kennesaw mountain, which occurred in
June, 1864, and sixty years ago, has ma
terialized into a resolve to do this laudable
work in the near future. My home town is
nearly twenty-five miles, from Marietta, and
the mountain is a couple of miles nearer to
us, on one of the most interesting sections
in Dixie Land. Besides the battle of Kenne-
saw there was another engagement near Lost
mountain, and these two noted places de-
serve to be put on the map of the state, with
due regard to their manifest Importance. A
great many less noted military localities
have had conspicuous advertising. The Cobb
county people are now very jealous on this
proposition and their zeal will be properly
rewarded by success.
The Dixie highway from Chattanooga to
Atlanta passes along in the valley in full
view of the mountain. The Confedera tes
held the mountain on that fateful June day
in 1854 with troops and artillery. General
Sherman's troops were massed in the valley
on the line of the w. e A. r. r., and Gen
eral Joe Johnston was the Confederate gen.
eral in charge of this division of the South
ern armies.
Atlanta was the objective point Of Sher-
mans well-equipped army ard the railroad
was handy for army transportation, and the
line of march was selected through our beau
tiful Cherokee, Ga.
In the early spring of 1854 it was made
clear that the w. & A. r. r. would be
utilized to reach Atlanta, and it was decided
that we should find a refugee home some
where below Atlanta to secure a place OF
refuge, If we could not remain in the Bar
tow home (the county went by the name of
Cass in its early days). So we moved a
number of colored people to Jones county
near Macon, in January, and I went down
there in February to start crop on rented
farm.
1 was in the refugee home when General
Sherman and General Johnstons armies
faced each other in line of battle at Cass-
Vile. The Barlow plantation had hundred
acres in wheat, well grown; as much, or
more, in corn, and young tobacco crop in
preparation. eve were not permitted to
raise cotton) The corn had been plowed the
second time and the hands were in the field
when the retreat from Cassville began. The
overseer blowed the horn and the colored

population has ever been made as was az
forded by the draft, and we are not in a
position to compare the average adult man
or woman in regard to intelligence. Intellt-
gence tests given to boys and girls show
that in tests calling for quick, accurate
work, girls have on the average slightly sur
passed the boys Of the same age. This
may be due to the fact that girls mature
at ans earlier age than boys. According to
Binet tests, boys and girls a"-~age almost
the same year by year. The college wom-
en- on the Alpha test score on the average
a few points lower than college men, but
this may be due to the fact that the Alpha
test was framed for men and includes sub
jects that are outside women's inter- =. At
present there is little evidence of any sig
nificant difference between the sexes on this
point.

The GEORGIA Forestru Bin

=
TT is significant that the chief author of
the forestry bill introduced at the outset
OF the present session of the Georgia
Legislature Is so well-known lumberman,
farmer, naval stores factor and man Of af-
fairs as Representative Rountree, of Eman-
uel. Having interests in all those
realms of investment, he regards a wise
forestry law as essential to their security
and upbuilding. In this his opinion marches
with that of practical and enlightened men
throughout America. The National Lumber
Manufacturers Association itself has de-
clared: "The Iumbermen, both as owners
of forest lands and as citizens, both as man
this forestry problem settled while it
can be done easily and at comparatively
small expense; not years and years later
when forest conditions will perhaps invite,
whether or not they necessitate, more dras-
tic and certainly more expensive action to
achieve the same END that now can be
embarrassment to the forest Industries them
selves"
Such is the spirit and the purpose of Rep
resentative Rountree's bill. Safeguarding
every true interest of lumberman, land own
er, farmer and manufacturer, it opens the
way to a system Of forest protection and re-
II hat ha iruo Inc
entire commonwealth It's first provision is
for state board of forestry to be composed
Of the Governor, the Secretary of State, the
state Geologist, the Director of Extension at
the State College OF Agriculture, and five
citizens representing respectively the wom-
ems civic organizations of Georgia, the
bering the umber-manufacturing and naval
stores interests. One of the duties of the
board will be the appointment of State
Forester, 'who shall have been technically
trained and in addition shall have had at
least two years experience in the practical
and administrative work of that profession"
provide and maintain such organized means
as possible and may seem necessary to
prevent. control and extinguish forest fires,
including the enforcement of any and all
laws pertaining to the protection of forests
and woodlands" The merit of this pro-
vision is plain when we reflect that in the
country as a whole twice as many acres of
forest land are burned over each year as
are cut over in numbering operations, and
that Georgia has twice as many forest fires
as any other State. 1t will be the further
duty of the Board to encourage forest and
tree planting for the production of wood
crop, for the protection of water supply,
for windbreak and shade, or for other pur-
poses contributing to the general welfare,
public hygiene and comfort of the people.
Highly important too. is the provision for
research and investigation regarding forest
conditions, the culture and protection of
trees, the management of forests with refer
ence to their growth, their yield. their prod
ucts and by-products, along with the indus
tries dealing Herewith, and other pertinent
subjects including taxation. That there
should be an adjustment of taxation on tim
stands in accordance with the long period
