MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin 5. Co

Maybe it is because his name so definite
y is associated with the poem Casey at
the Bat" but anyhow, DeWolf Hopper spe-
cializes in baseball stories Here is one he
told at banquet not SO very long ago:
He said that two semi-professional teams
were playing for county championship.
This was to be the deciding game of the
match. Naturally rivalry ran high and so
did excitement, and large crowd gather
ed. But the individual agreed upon as inn
pire failed to appear at the hour appointed
for beginning. In this emergency the two
managers conferred. 1t was difficult to find
an agreeable substitute because practically
every able-bodied male present was violent
partisan of one club or the other. But
there CHANGED to be one stranger on hand;
presumably he would be unbiased
The managers approached him. They APP
pealed to his sportsmanlike instincts to help
them out of the predican1ent At once he
volunteered his services. So delighted was
everybody that nobody thought to inquire
whether the obliging gentleman had
thorough knowledge Of the rules Of the
game. He squatted behind the catcher In
the approved posture and gave the signal to
start.
Almost Immediately the side at the bat
began to hammer at the offerings of the
opposing pitcher. The first man up beat out
infeld bunt. The second man advanced
him with neat bunt. The third player was
safe at first on tumble by the shortstop-
With the bases full and with a renowned
slugger of the opposition team coming up,
the pitcher lost control altogether. He tried
to curve EN- over the plate but one after
another they went so wild that the catcher
barely could slap them down
'One BALI" chanted the umpire.
1.-TWO balIs'
"Three balls!"
-Four balls-you're Quit"
What! shouted the outraged batsman.
What's the reason I'm out?"
The umpire waved his arm toward the
three sacks, each marked by a lowering
runner:
"You just naturally have to be out" he
explained. Don't you see l amt got no
place to put you"

not get a pound of butter. We lived and
lived well without it. We can keep on liv-
ing and living we'll without it, We refer
to it in connection with the above advertise
ment for the reason that we do believe that
our people are suffering financially because
they do not grow more cattle and produce
more milk and butter. That COrdeie farmer
who received six hundred dollars for cream
shipped during the month Of December
shows what can be done and what is being
done We do not know what it cost to pro-
duce the cream shipped during that month.
We take it for granted that farmer is maxi
ing money or he would not continue in the
business. Cordele and that section may
have some advantages over conditions in
this section, but we in like manner have adj
vantages over that section. But it should be
remembered that it is stipulated in the ad-
vertsement that Cows pay on the farm
when you grow your own feed and let the
dairy cow turn this feed into ready cash to
operate the farm" That's the milk in the
cocoanut Well can we grow feed for cat
tie in this section? Can we? Can we grow
hay and peas and oats? Can grow
grasses? Can we grow carpet grass and
Lespedeza? Can we grow velvet beans?
Can we grow bermuda grass? Can We keep
bermuda from growing? Is it possible that
an acre of land will craze one cow eight
months i'll the year? And if we had these
conditions would it be possible for the hun
cry editor of the News to search the town
from one end to the other and not find a
pound Of butter?

Not a Pound of Butter

one might think, than.a Georgia town
without butter. Yet, even so up-and-doing a
community as Commerce. with its more than
two thousand five hundred inhabitants, is

and loyal News TO have been, some days ago,
without as much as one purchasable pound
OF that which has we'll been called the gold
head to the staff of life. 1--WE are not

quest therefor; but we do believe that our

raise more cattle and produce more milk
and butter"

Too Much Government

-HE self-seekers who procured the no.
torious oil leases, as we'll as the pup
lie officials who abetted them, found
their devious ways the easier to follow be-
cause of the vast complexities that have
grown up within our governmental system.
Government, the ideal of which was once
simplicity, has ramified in so many direc-
tions, undertaken so many tasks, projected
itself into so many fields of private inter
est, and thus has so multiplied its machn-
cry that neither the people nor their serv-
ants are able to tell just what is going on
throughout the huge ENHANCEMENT. High
officials, whose word and good motive there
officials whose word and good motive there
is no reason to doubt have. recently testf-
fled that they signed approval to transac.
tons of which they knew next to nothing.
This is a penalty of over-developed gov
eminent When we seek to solve our every
problem byl legislation and to cast our ev-
cry responsibility upon a department or
bureau or commission, we not only lose
the virtues of true sef~government, but also
create opportunity for all manner Of mis-
government. Thus special groups in quest
; OF privileges can master the art OF secur-
ing. them far better than the rank and file
can safeguard it's own rights or press its
own demands. Every cause today, from
the most praiseworthy to the most ques-
tionahle, must have its special pleaders, it's
propagandsts, its lobbyists. One observer
writes that private interests have become
so powerful, so bold, so cynical in their
use of government through politics and poll
ticians, that this great institution, sup
posedly and in theory public in character
threatens to become itself a private enter
prise direcedt to private ends" E1aggera-
ton this may be, but it is more than halt
true.
Without falling into the old error that
the least government is necessarily the best
government. we certainly shall do we'll to
demand less of federal and more of state
and local authority; less of avs and more
of men; less of political machinery, and
more of moral forces

The dairy COW is thing of charm,
She lifts the mortgage from the farm!


Georgias basic need is for more factories,
especially the sort that browse on four legs
and turn grass into cream. The Journal
doesn't profess to know what farmers ought
to do; but it does know that the country
sides and towns where crop Investigation
and dairying are practiced enjoy evident ad
vantages over those where such enterprise
is not yet astir. 1t is a matter of common
knowledge that communities which were
weIl-night bankrupt by the cotton boil wee
vii and the wars economic reactions, have
gained stability and strength, and are now
going famously forward, all in consequence
of having taken the hen, the hog and the
COW as their allies. There is no magic in
their new plan of farming; but there is COM
mon sense in it, and tested principle, and
