not have the liberty to walk safely where
they are obliged to go.
The automobiles which are driven or
guided carefully can make a safe journey
on suitable roads and streets, but the fact
remains that the desire to get in front and
pass the people ahead becomes uncontroll-
able and maniaCal.
The steam cars are subject also to the
acraze-to go faster. few weeks ago there
were two serious wrecks on the Western and
Atlantic railroad, both Dixie Flyer" trains
(made up with the finest of steel cars and
modern engines of up-tO-date quality, in
side of two days. These trains usually carry
an immense number of COMMISSIONING to
and from Florida in the winter travel.
Those wrecked passenger cars were first
class. And as my slower local train crawled
alongside the wreck it was horrible to I'M
derstand that Death had such opportunity
to work destruction in single moment of
time.
Horse racing in Georgia, ninety years
ago, drew people from various states to see
the trained horses run fOur-mile heats (and
full sixteen miles) to win race.
When my husband, long since deceased,
was boy of ten, such horse racing was car
ried on in Lexington, Ca, and he was fond
of telling what he remembered of those rae
ing horses and the wild excitement which he
witnessed.
1t looks as if the human mind becomes
obsessed to go faster and still faster,

horses or autos. Ocean liners run races
across the Atlantic Ocean, 5000 mile trip.
Airplanes are already wild, rab1d on speed,
The air pilots get speed crazy, and the risk
to human life seems to be of small conse-
quence compared to the craving to fly, and
go faster and higher in the sky like frenzied
birds of passage.
In very advanced age I am afraid to
own an automobile with a hired chauffeur.
The temptation to go is great when one is
too inf1rm to walk. AS long as it was toler-
ably safe, l owned a pony and buggy phae-
ton for myself. Once l narrowly escaped
with my life when the first automobiles
visited our town and the gentle pony was so
frightened that she went perfectly crazy for
the time being-and dangerous.
If I dared to risk buggy ride with a
slow nag in the hurdy-gurdy rush of the au-
tomobles and the delivery carts in our little
city, I should feel l was inviting the in
evitable So endeth that chapter! Moth
ing doing!" AS | ruminate on the risks and
the dangers, I see what l must do, either
stay at home or walk little ways, or risk
the railroad as the safest venture for one of
my age-and never to attempt to cross a
crowded street without a strong and willing
protector at my side.
But the young are run down and killed
by auto cars more than the aged. Some
how, that atrocity must be prevented. In
some way punishment must be inflicted on
the reckless and Indifferent speed maniacs.
The humblest citizen in Georgia has a right
to walk in peace and safety from death-deal-
ing machines that invade the streets and
highways Little children cannot play on
the sidewalks, and strong men are helpless
in the middle of any city street in Georgia.

Co-oberation and CROP Values
A PARTICULARLY interesting field OF
~ cooperative farm marketing is touch
- ed upon by the Albany Herald, when
it says: "That Georgia can produce peanuts
in large quantities has been demonstrated;
marketing is the only problem with which
growers need concern themselves neces-
sary part of the solution of the marketing
problem is the question of acreage, for great
overproduction would depress prices in spite
of anything the cooperative association could

Using of the many money crops of this sec
ton. Cooperation in the apportionment Of
acreage is as important as cooperation in
selling the crop when 1t natures"
The significance of this comment is in. the
fact that ten years ago it would hardly have
been forthcoming from even so alert an OBJ
server as the Albany Herald. That co-opera-
tive selling afforded certain general advan-
tages to the farmer was recognized long ago,
but not until recently have the manifold and
extensive possibilities of the system become
apparent. Where farmers once were with
out guidance or safeguard against market
uncertainties, now, thanks to their co-opera-
tive associations, they can anticipate the
trend Of events. They can avail themselves
of a vast deal of information bearing upon
known supply and probable demand, and also
Of expert counsel. Planting in accordance
with such knowledge, they are far less likely
to depress prices by oYerproduction than in
proceeding every man for himself without

THE USE OF BEAUTY
By DR.. Frank Crane

~NN@NNN
~ F what use is beauty?
Why develop an appreciation of it?
~ When old man Hicks sees his son
wanting to study the violin he is disgusted
Why be one of chem fiddlin' fellers?"
There are great many who secretly share
the Hicks point of view. They have no use
for classical concert. They prefer to go to
a ball game.
The Ninth Symphony of Beethoven is to
them .lot Of caterwaulng, and Christian
und Isolde is a two-inch bore. The pic
ture gallery gives them disgust They see no
sense in spending money to make the city
hall thing of beauty, and prefer to have it
look like stone barn. And why parks,
statues, and landscape gardening?
instead of pooh-poohing those who feel
thus, I will try to show them what their
mistake it, for they are honest people.
Their error is that they do not see how
training man to see and understand the
beautiful really promotes his happiness and
makes him more of man every way.
Perfect happiness and perfect greatness
come by perfect self-eXpressiOn.
The art of life is to develop all the forces
that are in you.
Now the world of music, for instance, is
wide, wide world full of a thousand pleas
ant sensations, subtle stimulations and feel
ings that expand and deepen ones scope of
life. Take a person young enough and teach
him how to enjoy music; and how to under
stand those kinds of music which are lasting,
and you have simply added a great room to
his house of life.
Teach him what pictures mean and how
to love them, and how a good statue or a
noble building should appeal to the soul,
and you have put on another wing to his
house of life
Train his capacity to enjoy poetry, show
him the difference between real and imita-
ton literature open up to him the delights
of literature, and you have spread around
his house of life a noble park.
may be mean and evil In spite OF
everything, but in proportion as his interests
and tastes are widened his chances of be-
coming so are decreased.
We are put in this world to enjoy it,
Whatever opens your eyes and unstops your
ears to enjoy more of it, in ways that do
not debase you, is worth while.
Making money is only worth while it
enables you to increase your appreciation Of
beauty. If you do nothing but make money
you are like a boy who goes to make run
and Jump, and runs so far he can't jump.
/ The enemy of life is pettiness, narrowness,
and selfshness. To develop the moral sense
| is not sufficient to cure these diseases. One
must develop ones whole nature. 1t is not
morality, it is life, including morality, we
need.

THE CROP OUTLOOK

~ begin with, the year 1924, so far,
has been a record year for cold
n weather, heavy rains-and May is
more like March than the usual balmy
spring month, adorned with flowers.
There is a whole lot of vacant land, not
cultivated in anything The landlords cam
not hire day labor because the labor crowd
has gone to public works. Unless the farmer
has a stout force at home he cannot work
this land at all to profit The cotton crop
in Georgia. in the northern sections, is
obliged to be very late. This is May IA
today May is half gone.
There are only two months in which to
plant and cultivate the cotton crop to a
finish. AS L see it, 1924 will bring no
bumper cotton crop. No need to caution
farmers as to planting too much cotton. The
season is difficult, and the result is obliged
to be uncertain, and the high price will re-
main. But l take comfort in the remem-
brance that Providence will take care of us.
If we are doing out best, and can keep out
of debt, there will be no disaster to the in
dustrious farmer Everything that will feed
man or beast should be given a chance.
Corn and peas are easy to cultivate and will
grow, if anything grows, in it's season.
Nothing pays better than potatoes, and
nobody will regret the labor expended on a
good garden. 1t is "half the BATTLE" My
mind goes back to the year 1854, seventy
years ago, when a killing frost on May 1
killed every green thing in upper Georgia.
Corn had been plowed over and cotton was
ready to chop out.
There was no wheat raised and l saw but
two peaches that year.
The crops were so late after replanting
that drouth in June nearly finished them.
1t was the very worst crop year L ever saw.
But we survived it-made out on what we
saved, and started over again, without much
complaint
1t goes without saying, that food crops

THE SPEED MANIA

a FTER reading of the tragic death of
"A Mr.. Hugh Mckee, long resident of
= n Atlanta, and the beloved nephew of
dear friend of mine (also a connection by
marriage), began to wonder if the world is
any better or any happier by the craze for
speed travel in the present era. Automo-
biles could be made very enjoyable pleas
ure vehicles if all the people who drive
them were cautious and courteous to one an
other; but the fast going gets beyond cour-
tesy and caution too often, and foot travel
ers are in deadly peril when the streets are
swarming with chauffeurs who determine to
get in front,of every moving thing that ap-
pears on the highways and the byways and
thus ''let the ID care for the hindmost"
The time is surely coming when these mo-
tor cars must be confined to restricted linn
its or boundaries, and the killings must be
dealt with in the courts of the country, with
out fear or favor. 1t is bad enough to be
obliged to walk and attend to daily bust
ness, but it is horrible that foot walkers un-
able to own or hire a car or truck, shall
