The Stockholders Meeting.

The next thing Of which Winton
was aware was that the moonlight had
given place to the light of day. 1t was
intolerable, in spite of the strip Of
heavy material that had been pinned
before the window. Winton raised his
head, and groaned at the stabbing pain
in his temples. He saw the stretcher
bed and a quantity of dried blood on
the blankets, and he did not remember
what had happened to him or know
where he was.
CHANGING about him in bewilderment,
he saw the bare brick walls Of the
interior Of the house. The floor was
strip Of cheap carpet led into the room
from another room behind the door.
Between two Of the loosened planks
was a little pyramid of earth, the
nights labors of the white ants that
swarmed everywhere.
The room contained, besides the
stretcher bed, a chair, a little mirror,
and a cheap bureau. In a corner were
some shelves with crockery and cook
ing utensils.
Then Winton remembered, and he
groaned again and made a brave effort
to rise. At the sound Sheila came
through the doorway. Her eyes were
red and heavy, and she did not look
at him, but set down a tray beside
him. with a cup of tea and some strips
of toast scorched over ar open fire.
"How do you feel now?" she asked
a~nxiously.
I'm better" muttered Winton, try
ing to rise once more. But she put him
gently back upon the pillow.
"You are not well enough to get up"
she said. "You must rest till night.

CAPTIVE Animals Fretful.

Some wild animals are so fretful In
captivity that their lives are shortened
materially. This is true of foxes n
monkeys. Elephants and snakes do
not seem TO suffer much from captiv-
ity, but are strongly inclined to long
lives in any environment. The NOR
tally among animals in geological
parks Is very high.

Fight WeeviIs With Prayer.

Editor Dawson News Read carefully and
prayerfully Exodus Esd chapter and consider
Malachi: Bring all my share of your gains
into my house, and see if | will not pour out
a blessing upon you. | will rebuke the de-
vourer for your sake, and he shall no more de-
stroy the fruit OF your ground saith Jehovah
OF Hosts" And pray this prayer OF Hab:
"In the beginning of the years make known,
in wrath remember mercy" And Pauls
comment: Whatsoever things were written
before were written for our learning"
We have tried patent nostrums, arsenate Of
lead and every device we could think OF to de-
stoy the boil weeyils, and every spray to de-
stroy the scale and other diseases OF our fruit
trees, and painting for rot among melons,
and insecticides for weevils in our grain.
Suppose the Christian people of our state
sticking to all known preventves, try ap-
pealing to God for help. And let's have as
much faith as the heather widow who first
baked cake to still the hunger OF Elijah, and
prove God by cur payment OF debts due HIM
(not gifts, but debts) for our Christian
birth for over each of US He prepared and
prospered our bringing into being as much as
He did the first man made; for Christian
government, for our common law is Moses

protected by this same law for our property
guaranteed by this law; for our health, which
is based or Moses hygieniC laws OOok up his

Christ predcated upon the need OF a sacri-
fee for sin and resurrection, prehguring our
own death to flthiness of the flesh and spirit
and our resurrection into the new life that
makes our civilization. We pirate OF our love
OF law our hatred of crime, and make new res
olutions to do better. Let's quit resolving and
begin to do by being Gods children, so that
His light shining through us may constrain
Others to do His will" Now unto Him who

To Your Health"

Under this caption the Spectator, a New
York insurance publication, makes an ap-
peal 10 the people of this country in the in
terest of their safety, which it considers is
menanced by the various illicit connections
forbidden by the prohibition laws. The
chances are more frequently in favor of i'll
health when one takes drink of liquor these
DAYS, says the Spectator, than otherwise, due
to the poisons contained in the substitutes
obtained from various sources
Careful chemical analysis of more than rs
coo samples of liquor obtained in the leading
cities of the United States from the Atlantic
seaboard to the Pacific coast, including cen
trail and southern points, has proved the
Spectators statement to be correct. The point
IS that whatever may be consumed III the
way of liquor containing more than the pre-
scribed legal amount of alcohol there always
is greater danger than safety. Therefore,
more than one-half the persons who consume
illicit liquors are inviting results dangerous to
their lives and health.
The Spectator declares that this applies to
liquors obtained from illicit distillation, from
smuggling from home brew and from bonded
stocks illegally withdrawn. That just about
covers all the sources from which illegal liz
uors come Labels and stamps are not
guarantees of safety. The use OF fraudulent
labels and stamps makes it impossible for the
average person to differentiate between genu-
inc whiskey and limitations. So when one
buys what purports to be genuine whiskey
one really does not know what one is getting.
Aoonshine also has its perils. Toxins ex-
treme1y dangerous are now found in liquor.
Death may Turk in any bottle.

man was he, for a fellow had brought col
umn of stuff and wanted it printed free col
umn OF stuff that advertised and boosted his
private game; but he hadn't the heart to loosen
up good greenbacks for the same. And the
patient editor said at last although he seldom
swore, he'd be double DANCED if he'd be stung
as often times before. You make me sad, you
make me mad, you make me good and weary.
I'll print you nothing free, by CAD, but nice
obituary" The editor sat in his sanctum at
the end of perfect day, for six subscribers
had brought hard cash their honest dues to
pay. And a man stopped to praise The News
and say with pleasant smile: 1T ranks with
the library, school and church in making the
town worth while From day to day in every
way it grows better and better; the way
you've worked for a playground park has
made my boy your debtor" The editor sat

head was bald and his bunions CALLED, but he
felt appreciated BOB ADAMS

Tables Turned.

The bare announcement that three Ameri-
cans will investigate German finances for the
purpose of rehabilitating Germany caused no
unusual thrill in the financial circles OF this
country. When the announcement is more
fully considered, especially in the light OF the
f2ct that for generations German finance very
largely influenced the whole financial world,
il produces deeper impression, for the fact is
the tables are completely turned. America, not
Europe, dominates the world finance. New
York, not London or Berlin, dictates rates of
exchange If Secretary Melons prediction
comes true that 1924 will be Americas most
prosperous year its control Of world finance
viii be extended for years to come.

The Demand for Economy.

The Dalton Citizen, after announcing that
it has no official connection with the tax
PAYERS league OF Georgia and stating it IS
most certainly in accord with the work the or
gsnization has done during the past year,
says:
Its line of work has been along poll
CIV mapped out by The Citizen, namely
state auditing system, better system
of collecting taxes and economy IN state
affairs, The Citizen has consistently op-
posed increased appropriations, repeal OF
the tax equalization law and a state IN
come tax measure. This is identically
the program carried out by the tax
PAYERS league and to see how well IT
did this is only necessary to know what
has happened in the last year in regard
to tax legislation
The league has rendered another service
that might have been mentioned by cur Dial
ton contemporary, and that is the informa-
ton it has given the people OF the state as to
the amount OF taxes they are paying and
the tremendous increase in the cost OF gov
eminent the past few years. This is matter
on which the people knew very little.
In all parts of the country the demand for
economy and efficiency in government is be
ing emphasized Following the lead Of the
national government many executives are voic-
ing similar demand for their states, for
everywhere the burden of taxation is heavy
and the need of more efficient government is
urgent Governor Kendall, of Iowa. Governor
Davis, Of Kansas; Governor Bryan, OF Ne
braska; Governor Trinkle, OF Virginia; Gov
ernor Richie, of Maryland; Governor McMas-
ter. Of South Dakota Governor Richardson,
of California, and Governor Silzer OF New
Jersey, are all urging the enforcement Of econ
omy in public expenditures.
1t is the unnecessary cost of government
more than anything else that is giving rise
to the demand for more economical govern
ment Public expenditures are mounting at
an amazing rate. There is no indication that
the upward tendency has yet reached its peak.
This being the situation it is imperative that
all waste in public expenditure shall be elimi-
mated; that every expenditure shall be care
fully scrutnized; that correct business prac-
tice shall be enforced in government.
In accomplishing these results a good deal
depends upon the form OF government, but
more depends upon the men who are i'll the
offices Primarily, the people must depend
upon the men in government rather than
upon the form of government, but with men
dedicated to good public service much can
be done, and with an improved plan still
more.
The need of the moment is to improve the
plan, and following that to be vigiant in Sc
lecting men of the right type to administer it,

Not Most Profitable Crop.
From the Jackson Progress-Argus

Figures compiled by the United States de
partment of agriculture show that cotton
lacks a lot of being the most profitable crop
grown in Georgia.
The per acre return from cotton in 1928 was
given at $26.24.
Compare this with some other crops:
Irish potatoes show a per acre return OF
$1,000; sweet potatoes, $63.84; tobacco, $l93.-
80; sorghum. $57.27; sugar cane, $500; pea
nuts, $35,33; watermelons, $40.57; cantaloupes,
S87 90; cucumbers $4,000.
Yet there are plenty of farmers and plenty
of business men too, and more's the pity-who
will tell you that if they cannot grow cotton
they are ruined. 1t is time to bare the facts.
Let the figures quoted above speak for them
selves. They are Uncle Sans figures not
ours.
If ever state needed vision Georgia needs
il now. The farmers need it and the business
men need it. The man who goes along in the
old rut is lost, lost beyond recall We need
more food and feed in Georgia, and above all
we need more good dairy cows and chickens
to keep the cash rolling in. 1t is these things
we need infinitely more than we need bump
er cotton corps.

The Four-Foot Poilus.

The honor roles played in the world war by
the four-footed poilus, the real dogs of war
are forever to be commerated by the republic
o. France. A monument to the memory of
the service performed is to be erected under
the auspices of the Societe des Cheens de
Guere The French people, much given to
sentiment, naturally have applauded the move
ment and the government is both aiding and
encouraging the proposal.
The military kennels of France have been
il existence for many years. 1t was from
these kennels that the sudden demand for the
four-footed poilus was supplied. NJ. Leipel-
Cointet former director of the kennels, put
at the disposal of his country during the world
war not less than 1921 trained dogs. The
courage and service of these animals in the
trying times of the great conflict now are to
be fttingly commemorate
The files of the French war office show
numerous citations of the four-footed poilus,
which invariably conducted themselves with
courage under fire. One citation that pays
tribute to a dog, Carpathe, assigned to the one
hundred and sixty eighth artillery, says: HAS
performed marvelously during the attacks on
the Somme; has never returned without find
ing wounded. No longer possible to count
those he has saved.
Thus mans most devoted friend in all the
animal kingdom, his comrade in arms well
as IN peace, is to be honored as a brave soldier
and patriot.

CUPID ON BARGAIN COUNTER.

From the cambridge Post Searchght.
Much ado has been raised about the SO

old boy because she had lot OF money and
bought him. What the thunder is the diff
ference in that from a millionaire 80 years old
marrying a 20 year old girl? There is not
one bit of difference that we can see. If the
rich old sis wanted to buy her a pet poodle
how to play with she had just as much right
as the rich old man who buys baby doll
to play with. Many, many girls have sold
themselves to old roues for their money

1t has been figured out that the aver
age production of lint cotton per acre
in Georgia this year was 81 pounds,

ent high price it seems to us almost any
other farm product would have brought
better returns" dawson News.
This is what all Georgia has done in cotton
pounds to the acre in lint cot
ton 1t tells this story very plainly-that we
cannot depend wholly on cotton under pres
ent conditions We hope that will not be the
case any more in this section. Too much
more is promised in the other crops for us
to have to let our lands go for eighty-one
pounds of lint cotton per year.

them at home that answered every purpose.
They were worn for years, until lady
bursted hers at church, scattering the bran
from her seat all along the sidewalk on her
way home till the supply OF bran was ex-
huusted. The accident got into the papers

anything wrong with the so-called Box plan.
1t is mainly a brief Of the American idea,
which is to be neighborly, useful and willingly
