Mental Telepathy

He shipped himself in an ex-
press box, la Texas. And Bill
Baker, l8, was nearly dead of
thirst when he was rescued by a
case of mental telepathy.
B. B. Medley, express messen-
ger who discovered Baker, tells
it this way:
while working at my desk in
the express car, my subconscious
mind told me there was some
one in the car besides myself So
along between Toyah and Pecos,
/ decided | would thoroughly ex-
anime a certain large box. /
had that queer feeling that some
one was looking at me, though |
was alone in the car and NOBODY
in sight"
He opened the box and found
young Baker, exhausted, his bot
ties of drinking water empty.
Baker, by the way, expressed
himself to an uncle as a "sur-
prise"
We doubt if any of our read
ers hasn't had a similar expert
ence verging on telepathy. How
many times have you turned in
a crowd, uncomfohtably cons
cious that some one was staring
at you9
If this doesn't demonstrate
radio thought how do you
explain it?
Maybe you've walked with
friend in silence for some min
utes. Then you started whistl-
ing-and, at the very same in
slant, your friend burst forth
with the same tune. Again we
have a demonstration of telepa-
thy or some other mysterious
force that links subconscious
minds and carries communica-
tons between them.
Or take the case Of two init
mate friends or a husband and
wife well mated" Frequently
they exclairn, bit bewildered-
ly: What you said was on the
tip of my tongue" These peo-
pie also are so GEOGRAPHICALLY in
tune with each other that they
carry on complicated CONVEX
sation in so few words than an
outsider wouldn't get the drift
at all.
Will the eventual language be
silence-thought transference?
1t doesn't seem as supernat-
ural" as before we had the
radio.

CLEVER

Complex problems have simple
solutions. Milton A. McRae, in his
autobiography, tells how ne built
up the st. Louis Chronicle in 1887.
1t was a penny paper, but handi-
capped because St. Louis did not
use pennies for change in those
days, a nickel being the smallest
coin.
McRae ordered $4,000 worth of
pep~ies from the mint and got
then, distributed by inducing local
merchants to price goods at AS and
90 cents instead of SO cents and
81. With pennies in their pockets,
people bought the penny paper. It's
circulation in one year jumped
from 1000 to $4,000.

To ycgng men WHO @.e vast

dren's health, we recommend the
following from Forty Years in
Newspaperdom," autobiography of
Milton A. McRae, the newspaper
publisher-geniu3.

Arbor Day and Child
Thrift

In teaching thrift to the
young. two things are necessa-
ny: First, the child must be
taught to save part of what it
has, and. second, to EARN or to
CREATE in order that it may
be able to save.
The annual observance of
Arbor Day, therefore, embodies
both of these principles-to
CREATE and to SAVE.
Because it is more difficult
to teach the adult than the child,
those most interested in observ-
ing on December 5th our annual
Arbor Day are centering much
of their efforts on the children.
For generations the adult has
ruthlessly cut and destroyed the
timberlands of the nations. The
adult has the habit. but not so
with the child. Our greatest
hope for conservation and re-
forestration lies in teaching the
children.
One of the biggest problems
before the nation-and what is
more vital to us, before the state
of Georgia-is the rapidly di-
minishing supply of timber" de-
clares the forestry committee of
D. A. RS. Statistics show
that Georgia timber supply is
being rapidly depleted and that
no definite steps are being taken
to preserve what is left"
According TO the Georgia
Forestry association, Georgia
lumber production has declined
80 per cent in the past ten years;
her rosin production 46 per
cent; her turpentine production
50 per cent. This association
declares that at present Geor-
gas timber resources are pro-
,ducing annually only $780,
OO08 but if properly handled,
this same area would produce
annually $20,00O,O00.
xlA500, $olynnlylua sh sh sh
Fires on Georgia's timber
lands have cost the state $4,-
100000.
Denuded forests have cost the
state, as we'll as the nation, i'm
mense sums from floods. When
heavy rains occur, on the lands
formerly covered with heavy
timber growth, the water washes
in torrents down the hills and
mountains and destroys the fer
tilityof our farm lands.
These few thoughts may be
explained to the young and
they will then realize the neces-
sity for reforestration-the alb
solute need Of PLANTING
MORE TREES. They will be
CREATING and SAVING for
another generation.
Arbor Day should be fittingly
observed in every school IN the
COUNTY. 1t means greater pros
iperity and more happiness for
Those who are to follow us.

and benefit of education is the
acquiring of information that
will be useful later in life.

MFRCENTHALER

A memorial tablet to Ottoman
Mergenthaler is placed on the house
where he was born, in a German
village. His name doesn't mean
much to a reader. But he invented
the linotype machine which took
the place of typesetting by hand
and made the large newspapers
possible.
If he had led an army that
butchered q few million people, ev-
eryone would know his career in
detail. The machine invented by
Mergenthaler will, along with
typewriter, paper mill and printing
press, put the military butchers out
of business eventually. It's large
ly matter of education, and about
as easy as teaching an elephant to
do fancy work"

way; TRAINED BRAINS. Or

The late Champ Clark, speak
esof the House Of Representa-
tiVes and one of the ablest of the
democrats of his day, in writing
on education, said:
M HWhether man has a college
education or not matters very lit
Atle. Information is the import
l9ant thing-indeed, the essential
s~thilg. He nay acquire it at col
ialege or he may acquire it some
where else. If the college pro-
fessors are good instructors, col
lege life ought to shorten the pro-
cess of acquiring information.
rThere is great deal of time
wasted at college by studying
Rthings which can be of very lit

Wei. The average college curric-
Fuh4m Of the United States needs
overhauling.
x There is much food for
thought in the above. and. re-
parks a writer of this subject,
the truth applies to public
schools as we'll as to college"
There is no doubt that much
time is lost in our schools with
Studies that are impracticable.
II should be remembered,
however, that the school is the
place where young minds are
trained-not merely taught.
