COULDN'T STAND THE cAFF+

COULDN'T STAND THE GAIT
Secretary Edwin DENLY has
thrown up the sponge and quit
as secretary of the navy. Pres
ident Coolidge has accepted his
resignation and another chapter
is written in the disgraceful Tea
pot Dome oil scandal, says the
Athens Banner.
Denby's action in transferring
the naval oil reserve supply
from the navy to the interior
department and then okaying the
lease to the Doheny and, other
interests has been likened to the
reasonable act of Benedict Ar
mold when he negotiated to turn
over the fortress at West Point
to the British in the early strug-
giles of our country, Some
men high in the affairs of the
nation even pronounced the for
mer secretary a greater traitor to
our than Araold since Ahe aided
in deal that involved the future
defense of America in disposing
of the naval oil reserve and plac-
ing it in the hands of greedy and
private interests.
Believing that Denby's hands
were dirty from having signed
the transfer and approved the
leases, the senate demanded his
resignation. Backed by the sup
port of the president, who said
he would not request Denby's
resignation, the latter, who con-
tended he saw nothing wrong in
what he did and would do it
again, refused for several days,
following the senate action, to,
quit but evidently the pressure
became too strong for him as ne
tossed the towel to the president
and the surrender was accepted.

Poor Bill leads humdrum life,
He hardly gets bit of freedom.

They will not let him. ~

To home and family hes bound "a

$4.52 Net Per Hen

Out in Thayer county, Ne,
braska, a number of poultry
raisers formed a cooperative
society two years ago for the
purpose of increasing their egg
yields-and the profit derived
thereby. AT the end of the sec
ond year Ia of the farmers had
produced a net profit of $4.52
per hen.
Success on the farm, as in ev-
cry line of business, lies in in
creased production and decreas-
ed production costs: farming
carefully and intellgently, and
saving certain amount every
year for that inevitable rainy
day.
Those who fall below this
standard of business conduct
will make at best but a bare liv-
ing.
Regarding the success of the
Nebraska farmers, the Kansas
City Star says:
'In Thayer county, Nebraska.
q number of poultry raisers
formed cooperative society
two years ago for the purpose of
increasing the yields of their
"The first years results show
ed that the average return per
hen of these carefully managed
flocks was eighty-five eggs as
compared with fewer than seventy
eggs hen before the farmers be-
gan to take extra pains. All this
gain was from better feeding and
care.
THE results of the second sea-
son's efforts have just been an
nounced. Eighteen farmers who
had taken extra pains for two
years produced a net profit of
S4,62 a hen this year as COM
pared with a profit of S2.18 for
those farmers who had pursued
the plan of better breeding and
feeding but one year.
I'm. the second year the av-
erage yield per hen was 1874 eggs
as compared with 104 eggs from
those flocks that had been cuIled

THE REFEREE
PARASITES

Couuing Egyptians are turning
out tons of fake antiques, selling
them to tourists attracted to the
Nile country by King Tut's tomb in
the Valley of the Kings. A favorite
counterfeit is the scarab, repre-
senting ancient beetles.
Wherever you find the real thing,
you find limitations nearby. Whef-
ever producers toll, parasites hover
close at hand. In life are two
classes-producers and takers. 1t
seems to be part of natures sys-
tenn of checks and balances.

DISEASE

Nature keeps us constantly fight
ing for existence. The struggle to
survive develops our strength, par
ticularly of character. Our chief
opponent, next to the battle. fog
food and shelter, is disease, which
attacks US at evey turn, bobbing up
in the most unexpected places.
Latest malady is mild epidemic
of ''Mah Jongg disease" described
by skin specialists in medical maya
zines. Orientals use poison ivy in
making certain kinds of lacquer,
which may cause slight poisoning or
skin rash when handled even centu-
ries later. The lacquer is on some
cabinets, not on the tiles.
GAIN
Ever since the World War start
ed you've read article after article
about building up a chemical indus
ty in America. Summing up the
situation:
The industry is being built up,
all right. In 1928 we imported as
much chemicals as before the war,
despite the German. shutdown in the
Ruhr. However, our chemical, ex-
ports show healthy growth. We're
making and selling the colors and
drugs and fertilizers which our
natural resources fit us to make.
And we're buying from abroad the
chemicals whose production is the
natural function of other countries.
MILLION
Exports from America exceed i'm
ports by enough to make a new
millionaire every day. This has
been the tendency for over a year.
In the last 1874 years our exports
have exceeded imports by 30 billion
dollars. We live in the tabled land
of milk and honey, even if lot of
US do lose out in the division of
wealth,

"A County Slogan

Many Georgia counties have
adopted county slogans. Fol
lowing the lead Of the large
manufacturers of advertised
goods, the counties are trying to
find a sentence that will be re-
membered by those who have
once heard it. There is no dis
counting the value of a good
slogan when properly used.
A prominent Americas man
suggests to us that Sumter
should have slogan and he of
fers this:
SETTLE IN SUMTER"
His idea is to convey the
knowledge that here is a good
place to settle; that here is OPP
portunity; that there is room
here for the new conner and that
he will be welcome. If her
aided abroad. the slogan will
become an INVITATION.
What do you think of Settle
in Sumter?' Maybe you have
a better slogan to suggest. Ii
80. write us, giving your slogan.
If you desire. tell US WHY you
believe in your slogan.
The Pearson Tribune believes
in notices and gives the follow
ing slogans adopted by South
Georgia counties; ips'.gsa,
Several South Georgia conn
ties have adopted Slogans for
1924. 3uCandlera county says,
'iFlenty to eat at home and some

"There shall be no lazy bones in
Harris county," Irwin county
proposes, ''Food and feed first
and then some cotton" Col

inscription, Ga"More small fac

up to the high mark established.

travelling world that Albany is

PECANS, they would have you

Commerce and ask that it select
the best slogan submitted and
have it used ON all its literature.

HUSBANDS

In far-off Tibet, Chinese depen-
dency, Explorer McGovern finds a
paradise for women. In this para
disc, high up in the mountain pass
es, there are so men to every wo-
man. No woman is too homely to
have less than a dozen suitors, and
a woman usually has seven hus-
bands.
Nature strives to balance the pop
ulation. One generation of chil-
dren will restore the sex balance
in Tibet, unless the situation is due
to the, old Chinese custom of elimi-
mating most of the girl babies.
