Planning the Boss

The greatest International
sport is the popular pastime,
panning the boss" You find it
in all occupations-trades, pro-
LESSONS, politics, the army =
wherever people carry on any
sort of activity involving leader
ship and its accompanying au-
thority.
'Panning the boss begins
with the toddling child, pouting
its resentment at must do thisI'
and must not do thatl' 1t con-
tinues all through life, right up
to the door of the graveyard,
with the old man grumbling at
the passing of old-time forms of
authority and then. replacement
by the changed boss system of
the new generation.
Go where you will, you can
not escape hearing people pan
their bosses. Forever there is
grumbling at existing authority
on the farm, in factory, in Of
fee, in the home, all the way
from the complicated organiza-
ton of metropolitan life to the
Eskimo mumbling about the
Hudson Bay agent who buys his
furs, or the tropical jungle ma
tive grumbling because he does
not get more glass beads from
his boss, the trading post buyer.
People have such an instinc-
tive hatred of authority, it's a
wonder they are able to coop
crate in any form of govern
ment, even democracy. Man
at heart is philosophical an
archist, hating leaders. Occas-
ionally men are hypnotized by
a leader like Napoleon into
flinging their personal freedom
to the winds and ralIying in emo
tlonal ecstasy to the leader.
that's as rare as it's brief.
The only reason people stand
tor a boss at all is because they
are jealous of the boss-have a
secret hope that, if they support
the boss system, they have a
chance of becoming boss them
selves. The grumbling and the
panning continue, nevertheless.
Forever there is boss. The
foreman has his boss, The shop
superintendent. He, in turn,
answers to the general manager
whose boss is the board of direc-
tors. The board has its boss,
the bankers and stockholders
and tax collectors. So on and
on, an endless chain, always a
Higher Power.

George Carswell, of Wilkin-
son, is the only candidate SO far
to announce for the chief execu-
tive's place.
Clifford Walker, while not
yet having actually announced
as an aspirant to succeed him
self, is generally considered as
an active candidate.
One of the late so-called
booms to get under way is that
of Judge Render Terrell, of
Meriwether county, a high-class
and thoroughly loyal Georgian
with a host of friends in the
state.
The name of w. T. Anderson,
editor of the Macon Telegraph,
has been and continues to be
mentioned by many, though Mr..
has stated that he will
not be a candidate.
John w. Bennett, of Way
cross, and Herschel Elders, of
Tattnall, are among others who
are talked of.

NEED GOOD FARMING

1t is mistaken notion that
when prices are low because of
overproduction that the remedy
is to take less pains and let the
animals run down. Such practice
leads to but one end-bankrupt~
cy. Whatever the price, it isl the
man that makes the highest re-
turns on his acres who is most
prosperous. The truth is the
lower the price of the product
the greater the need for high eff
ficiency in producing it. When
prices are high even mediocre
yields are profitable but such
= yields are always Improbable
when the prices are low. There
fore the more discouraging the
price of farm products, the
greater the necessity for good
farming.-Kansas City Star.

BANKER SPEAKS ON FARM
PROBLEMS.

Speaking on problems of the
farm, Walter w. Head, president
of the American Bankers As
ISOLATION in an address entitled
Lets Make 1t a Partnership"
said:
agriculture today is just
emerging from a period of SER
ious depression. If we will apply
to agriculture the lessons gained
by the experience of general bust
ness, we will achieve still great
ter prosperity for the farmer,
The problem today is to use re-
sources effectively-to produce
economically and to market eco
nomically. The problem of
marketing cannot be left for the
solution of the farmer alone; it
must be considered by all bust
ness men, inasmuch, as the pros
perity of all s affected by that
of agriculture"
Comment in detail upon what
Mr.. Head has said would be use
less. 1t is only necessary that
the banker, the merchant and the
business man generally should
make it a partnership with the
farmer. If they will do this they
will be giving the farmer a bet
ter chance, than he has hereto
fore had. And as a rule he cec-
tainly needs all the help he can
get" Columbus Enquirer

American women are the lone
Hest women in the world although
they are charming, intelligent,
dress fautlessly and never are
too fat or too thin declares Ma
dame Marie Johnson, sister-in-
law of the former premier of
Rumania and art emissary of
Queen Marie.
She concludes that American
women are loneliest because they
have not learned that happiness
comes first; their husbands, wear
ing themselves out to provide
luxuries for their women, con-
sequently die young.
"In my country" she said,
women are satisfied with a dress
or two and with a modest little
house and a simple menu. in
America you wear many jewels

wardrobe of a great lady. "-EX-

TONGUE OR A PROPHET

No human power can prevent
the planting of huge acreage
of cotton this year. The high
price that has prevailed will cause
stampede back to cotton
throughout the South. But that
will not mean a big cotton crop.
With the boil wevil present
the larger the acreage the small
qr the crop will be. It has been
demonstrated that cotton can be
grown proftably under boil
weevil conditions; but it requires
more work, more time and more
money to do it. So those who
are wise enough to confine their
planting to an acreage that they
can handle under the new condi-
lions will make the money this
year.-Rome- Tribune Herald
