Georgia's Shipments Abroad.

Georgia,s advance to fifteenth place among
the states in the value of merchandise exports
bears witness to the wealth of her resources
With little less than $S5,00O000 worth OF
foreign shipments to her credit in the year
1924 Georgia is nearly $14000,000 ahead OF
Maryland and is not far behind Wisconsin,
which ranks fourteenth Chief among the
items is cotton, but large contributions were
made by rosin, turpentine, cotton cloth and
apparel, and leaf tobacco. This last, it will
be observed, is a relatively new factor in
augmenting the states foreign trade.
Gratifying as is Georgia's record of exports
overseas the people of the state will do well
to remember that the net value of what they
sell is dete. mined by the net cost of what
they buy. No matter how much the state
ships abroad the profits therefrom will dc
the producer and the commonwealth little
good if consumed in purchasing from afar
things which could easily be raised or manu-
featured at home.
AS well-known manufacturer of the state
said, ''the most significant and most cheering
of our economic omens is not so much in the
millions which we are selling abroad import
ant though they are, as in the millions which
we are making and saving at home"

Has Il Come to This?

A Michigan woman has given halt million
dollars to Vassar college to establish course
in home-making Half million is a large
sum of money. 1t would build 10000 homes
in each Of which in time there could be con-
Quoted a school of home making. The home
used to be the very best school OF domestic
art From it our mothers and grandmothers
were graduated But it is not the best school
now, especially in the cities. In the last gen
Grafton the American home has been radically
changed.
Yet, however great the change, it is sur
prsing to know that it is necessary to send
girls to college to learn domestic art Neither
did we suspect colleges must present course
in home making We are curious to know
whether there will be instruction that viii
result in the establishment of the old-fashion-
ed typical American home, or in the develop
ment of the present un-American so-called
home There's a vast difference between the
two, especially since mothers have come to
devote 50 much time to matters outside the
homeland their daughters, too.
Possibly this Michigan woman foresees the
present trend and designs to provide way
whereby some girls may again obtain the
correct perspective. Let us hope that this IS
the case, and that eventually there will be
created pride in home that will make it the
one place of all to all members of the family.

From the Memphis commercial-Appeal.

He is lonely man on fast train. Maybe
he and his fireman do not exchange words
on run of so miles. On some engines he
does not see the fireman when he is in his
seat.
During the night, when passengers are
sleeping and when only head and tail lights
are burning, when lights in villages and
towns are low, when the countryside is silent,
no one is farther away from touch with his
fellow human beings than the engineer in his
cab. Constantly he is plungng into space as
one goes into another world Every mile of
track ahead of him is an adventure. How
much better for his own peace of mind on
these nights and long days would it be if the
automobiles, the carriage and wagon drivers
and the pedestrians would keep away from
the crossings when the fast train, in charge
of the anxious engineer, approaches.
We know of no class of men who have
greater responsibility day in and day out
than the locomotive engineer 1t is up to all
Of us, then, insofar as we are able, to keep
his burden light, and we can do this by stop
ping looking and listening.

Bird Life Fast Disappearing.

1t is said that one out OF every sixteen
persons in the United States goes hunting at
least once each season, or at the rate OF 6,000,-
600 hunters year With this enormous army
Of gunners securing the woods and fields and
watching the water courses it is small wonder
that wild game has not diminished faster
than it has.
Both the federal and state governments
are doing what they to regulate hunting
so that the wild life OF the woods will not
be decimated, and many states have no open
seasons at all In those states which allow
hunting it is estimated that an average Of
IS 900 deer alone are killed annually togeth-
er with hundreds OF thousands OF other wild
animals and millions of ducks and other birds.
The Rocky mountain and Pacific coast
states are the localities where big game is
most usually found In the densely forested
sections of these western states can still be
found nearly all varieties of wild animals
known to the United States.
Rabbits constitute the largest and most
generally available supply of game in the
United States. So numerous are they in GER
tain parts of the west that rabbit drives"
are organized as community affairs, and tens
Of thousands of the jack rabbits are slaugh-
tered in a day to protect growing crops
from their ravages.
Quail is another variety of wild life that is
hunted throughout nearly every state of the
union. To prevent their undue slaughter most
states have restrictions against their sale, but
millions of them are hunted each year. Here
in Georgia the annual slaughter OF these birds
reaches huge proportions
Enormous numbers of ducks and wild
geese are killed by hunters every year during
autumn and winter. Along the many water
courses furnishing feeding grounds for wild
ducks have been established hundreds Of
hunting clubs, the members of which main
tain households or shooting lodges where
they come for weekend trips during the open
season An estimate made by the game COM
mission of Minnesota one year showed that
over 100000 ducks were shot by the hunters
OF that state, and along the favorite feeding
grounds of wild birds in California more than
100000 ducks are shot each season.
Birds are among the best friends of the
farmer and the orchardist and it will be a
calamity when they become extinct as they
will unless they are given better protection.

Praises News Editorial.

Editor Dawson News l saw in an issue
of your paper the other day one OF the sanest
and most intelligent editorials | have seen
in newspaper for long time. Marifest1y
its author had kept in touch with events All
this praise of other states to the diScredit of
Georgia simply results from an ignorance OF
conditions
Georgia stands easily at the head of all the
southern states in the performance of its
state functions, with the possible exception
in quantity of Texas which is an empire in
itself and has tremendous amounts of state
lands which it can for educational pur-
poses.
Goethe said that enthusiasm moved the
world, but it was a pity we could never be-
lieve enthusiasts" 1t is we'll to apply this ex-
preston to those who are distributing propa-
ganda to effectuate their wishes l am very
truly yours, JOHN NJ SLATON.

You Can't Beat South Georgia.
From the Valdosta Times.

When it comes to a continuous round OF
crops that are always bringing in the money
you can't beat this section of south Georgia.
The annual watermelon crop is just now
beginning to move. 1t isn't going to cause any
flood streams of gold to pour into this section,
but it will bring in a good many thousands OF
dollars. Indications are that the price will
be good this year. The melons not over
abundant, which will tend to keep up the
price, and they are of fine flavor. Prospects
are that the farmers who have melons to
ship will get good money for their crops
this year.
By the time the melon crop is cleaned up
tobacco will be ready to sell, and before the
tobacco crop is sold out cotton will be COM
ing on the market Indications point to the
largest tobacco crop this section has ever
sold The acreage yield is not going to be as
heavy as in some years, but there more
acres and the total will be large.
Prospects for a cotton crop were never bet
ter A large acreage has been planted, the
seasons have been right so far, the stand is
good and the plants putting heavy
fruit. II the weather only continues right and
the boil weev can be held under control
this section will market one Of its largest cot
ton crops.
Corn is mighty fine. Much was plant
ed and it is looking good. Some farmers say
they don't know what will do with all
the corn.

A Nation of Milk Tipplers.
From the New Orleans Picayune.

If you had your share OF milk last year
you had 219 quarts, you" meaning every
man, woman and child in the United States.
That was seventeen quarts better than you
did in 1928 and proves that as tipplers our
milk addiction is growing. These figures ap-
ply to milk actually drunk in the homes or
used in household cooking. Manufacturers
consumed the stupendous total of 1881, 415,-
600 pounds of milk, and that toothsome dam
ty, milk chocolate, used up very nearly $780,
100000 pounds of milk. Cheese took more
than four billion pounds, just a little more
than went into our annual output of ice cream.
The latter product, however, was one of the
few that showed decrease for the year as
compared with 1923. -Four billion pounds and
a little more went into condensed milk, that,
too, being somewhat less than for the pre-
vious year. Powdered milk and cream took
their toll of 82,518000 pounds. The one sta
tistic lacking is how many glass milk bottles
were broken on the public highways, and how
many tires were punctured the result.

Terrell Must Pave.

Terrell county has good roads-as good
and as much as any county in the state. While
that is true, we are not keeping step with the
march of progress in highway building. To
keep abreast with other counties the time has
come when it is necessary to consider paw
ing the principal thoroughfares. Paved roads
from Dawson to Parrot, Brentwood, Sasser
and Shellman would give practically every
section of the county a hard surfaced road
and place Terrell in the very forefront of
counties as to permanent highways. as she
is in other respects. OF course this improve
ment cannot be undertaken this year. The
News brings it to the attention of the people
and the authorities at this time that they may
begin thinking about it, and be prepared to
adopt a well defined paving program at the
beginning of the new year. No more import
ant matter confronts US. and the prestige Of
the county demands it.

Housewives and Exercise.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

A physician asserverates that the present
day housewife is suffering from lack of exer-
else 1t is all because of vacuum cleaners,
electric washing machines and such labor saw
ing devices. She ought to take walks, he says,
or do a daily dozen. In the next breath he
recommends the vicarious exercises the man
of the house gets out of watching a base
ball game with proper enthusiasm Now the
question arises why the housewife also cannot
get vicarious exercise by watching a washing
machine do its stuff, providing of course, that
she enters with the proper ecstacy into the
spirit of the thing? If playing baseball and
washing clothes are parallel cases why are
not watching baseball played and watching
clothes washed also parallel? Yet he calls one
healthful exercise and the other unhealthful
lazness. The answer probably is that the
doctor likes baseball game.
