Birds Fight Foreign Insects.

A form of japanese immigration for which
no one on either side of the Pacific has a
word of encouragement is that OF the insect
pest known as the Japanese beetle, which, in
troduced only few years ago, is spreading
with disquieting rapidity and threatens to
add one more woe to the troubles of the
American farmer.
But the forces OF America are savagely re-
pelling the Oriental invader, and the air de
Tense is the one that counts. The patriotic
birds of America have literally flown to her
defense and are devouring the noXious i'm
migrants by tens of thousands. Government
scientists have found no less than 10 kinds
of birds preying upon the japanese beetle, and
it is probable that further investigation will
reveal many more.
Even naturalizcd feathered American, the
sometimes despised starting, found to
be among the foremost Of her defenders,
making the japanese beetles about half OF its
diet Purple grackles ate twice as much bee
tie as all the rest Of their food, while birds
usually considered more OF pest than bene-
fit such as the English sparrow, the crow
and the red-wing blackbird, were found to
be active in the defense OF the farms. Song
birds also did their part.

Refuses to Grow Old.

Niddle-aged persons who have deceived
themselves into thinking that their youth and
ability Tor service in the world are behind
them ought to consider the life and expert
ence OF Mrs Catherine Sophia Stevens Of
Bell Fourche, S d. Then they ought to de-
termine to make new start with a quicken
ed interest in life and more vigorous ambi-
tons than they cherished hitherto. Mrs. Ste
vens better known in her state as "Gtand-
ma" Stevens, was 100 years old a few days
ago, but not yet has she lost interest in life
and the worlds progress
Mrs Stevens went west AZ years ago when
She had reached an age at which many men
and women OF today are ready to quit and
let others take up the duties they relinquish
She was OF when she crossed the country
to western South Dakota, and that was in
the days when travel was by stage coach
and the western states were infested with
hostile Indians. Women OF today OF that age
consider themselves old. Men, too. But

Mrs. Stevens has seen such development
as only may come in the life of the centena-
RAN In her time have come steamships, rail
roads the telegraph, the sewing machine, the
laying of the Atlantic cable, and, in later years,
modern inventions and discoveries too numer-
Gus to recall These memories, however, are
not as remarkable as this pioneer woman
herself She has witnessed growth, develop
ment and discovery in her time, and is look
ing forward even now to what will come
next "Grandma" Stevens is one who refuses
to retire in the sense that she is content to
lose interest in the world as long as life lasts.

Sapping the Smaller Towns.

1T is already evident" says the Commerce
News, that automobiles and good roads are
sapping the life blood OF the country towns.
Ii it ever comes to pass that this country is
beted by hard surfaced roads the average
country town will find itself seriously hand-
capped Is there any remedy? If so, what
is it. We have one in mind that we may
suggest one OF these days"
We do not OF course, know what our Com
merce contemporary has in mind but if it
has remedy for the situation to which it
calls attention it should let it be known at
once. 1t could have with equal truth men
toned one other thing which is badly hurt
ing the smaller townsville cheap parcel post
rates. which extend the market OF the great
mail order houses of the big cities to every
town and hamlet in the country. Between the
two the merchants of the country towns have
lost very large part of their trade, and
many OF them are being forced out Of bust
ness. In truth the merchant of the smaller
or so-called country town has fallen on hard
lines When his neighbors have cash to
spend they go or send elsewhere, and when
they buy on credit they patronize him.
There must be change if there is to be
any general progress and prosperity in what
were once centers of trade and leaders in all
things for the material, religious and educa-
tional advancement of their sections.

From the, Atlanta Journal.

Bigger and sweeter corn IS Luther Bur
banks promise to the gardeners OF America.
If it can be grown to maturity at an early
date, so as to meet on even terms other early
corn, this will mean much to the truck gar
deners of the south.
From his, home at Santa Rosa, Burbank
SAYS that his experiments have assured him
that his new corn will be more productive
and sweeter than any now grown; that is it
will contain more kernels to the cob and
prove more pleasing to the palate
1t has been many years since Golden Ban
tam corn made it's appearance making big
forward advance. 1t was little, but very at
tractive so attractive nded, that its praises
were sung in prose and verse.
Golden Bantam stood in a class by itself
for years, until experiments demonstrated by
crossing it with a vigorous variety OF white
corn resulting in a pleasing union, with the
Bantam characteristics predominating. 1t was
yellow and sweet averaging twelve rows OF
kernels to the cob That big gain.
Since that time many cross varieties OF
corn have been produced, but authorities say
no epochal advance has been made, unless
Burbank's discovery proves all OF the advant
ages claimed for it.

Radical Tax Laws.
From the Macon News.

The tide OF public opinion is running
strongly against an income or an inheritance
tax and the leaders cannot fall in line too
SOON In a recent address before an assO-
citation banded together for wholesome tax
reform President Coolidge declared that the
federal government should gradually get
away from these two forms OF taxation.
Commenting on the inheritance tax the
president used strong language but it was
not a bit stronger than the situation demands
He pointed out that the inheritance tax now
runs up as high as forty per cent i'll the last
brackets, and then he declared that if this
country was going in for socialism IT would
be a great deal better to say so iii plain
terms instead OF trying to do it under dis
gulSe.
A form OF taxation that would take away
forty per cent OF an inheritance is not, in
TACT tax but a form OF conhsCation and
has no place outside OF socialist politics.
Governor Walker has appointed a commits
sion to study the needs OF the state govern
ment for the next five years and to frame
"a system of taxation that will raise the re-
CURED revenue The movement is perhaps
we'll enough in principle. but it is hoped that
it may be made clear in the beginning that
the people OF Georgia are not to be deviled
with an income tax, and that the present in
heritance tax law will be repealed.
Many features OF our present tax system
would be intoIerable il they were really en-
forced, and it is fact that the inheritance
tax does not actually bring much money in
to the state treasury But conniving at eva
sions of the law is not a sound system OF
government We must put the laws out III
the open and enforce those that are allowed
to remain on the statute books.
Whatever may be the theoretical merits
of an income tax the people OF this country
have become so disguised with its linguistic
rial features, often requiring individual or
an incorporation to bark back for period
Of FIVE years or more and going over returns
that have been made conscientiously and
faithfully in the first place.

The Pullman Surtax.

The pullman surtax charge, which the SEN
ate wants to abolish, was allowed the rail
roads some years ago by the Interstate Com
merce Commission as an offset to increased
passenger operating costs. When the govern
ment was running the roads at an enormous
loss it increased wages more than 100 per
cent. but held freight rates down. 1t strongly
favored passenger fare increases, however, as
a revenue concession to the carriers The In
terstate Commerce Commission in recent
years has been much more tender to freight
shippers than to passengers.
A year or more ago the Georgia Public
Service Commission passed order forbid
ding the collection OF the surcharge in this
state, but the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion nullihed their action and forced the
travelling public OF Georgia to continue the
payment of this iniquitous tax. Congress has
now taken the matter up. and there is reason
to hope that the public will soon get the long
desired relief.

Bribery Of the States.
From the Industrial News.

President Coolidge in discussing the budget
attacked the system of congress federal aid
to states conditioned upon the state legisla-
money for the project
He pointed out that estimates called for
more than $1090000O0 for highways, boats,
naval and harbor improvements, naval bases
and even Notifications, providing the states
raised as much more money.
AS a matter of fact no more pernclous
system OF doubling up appropriations and
burdening the people with high taxes and
bond issues has ever been invented.
1t is employed extensively in framing So
called uplift legislation, agricultural college
and state university extension work, giving so
much to each state or county if the state or
county will raise as MUCH more.
1t is a system that once naugurated, leaves
against the pressure and demands OF paternal-
istic oficiasm that wants to spend the
money.
President Coolidge spoke OF this system
as federal subsidies, while other authorities
use stronger terms as bribery" and political
hijacking."
Under one of these laws the federal gov
eminent sent the governor of Maine $4,000
to spend on maternity care in one city, and
he promptly returned the check with a letter
that is classic.
Massachusetts, refused similar appropria-
tons from the federal government, showing
that for every dollar received it took $500
addition taxes out OF the people.

Parents and Schools.

Parents who desire their children to make
more rapid progress in the schools might ask
themselves the following questions
l. Have we become personally acquainted
with our children's teachers? A few kindly
attentions give quite lift to a teacher who
is struggling with a roomful OF restless
youngsters Sometimes she can tell the home
folks things they need to know about their
angelic offspring.
2 Are we cooperating with school dis
cipline? Do we frequently let the children
stay up late at night, thus depicting their
energy? Do we encourage the children to
think they are severely or unfairly treated
and thus incite thep to an attitude OF resist
ance?
Many other questions could be asked. Re
member that you can't turn children over to
the schools to have their heads filled with
knowledge as you turn them over to the
dentist to have their teeth filled with gold
Education calls for ambition on the part OF
pupils. and the homes have to help create
that sentiment

FooIishness From the Bench.
From the Macon County Citizen.

The next time you hear discussion on
the causes Of lawessness in this country and
the talk centers around the failure OF jurors
to do their duty it won't do any harm for
you to put in a few words about foolshness
from the bench.
You might cite a number OF instances, as
they appear in the newspapers with aston
ishing regularity. Just lately in New York
Federal Judge Francis Winslow said, accord
ing to press dispatches, the scandalous pay
of postal clerks compels them to be dishon-
est Ii you can find an utterance with more
foolishness in it we would like to hear about
it

pleaded guilty to transferring cancelled
stamps at a profit OF $500 to each The men

Easy to Tell, Hard to Do.
From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.

The AEadisonian notes that the Geor-
gia newspapers are full of advice to the
farmers of the state, and adds that some
of it is not bad" The farmer is getting
almost as much advice as the newspaper
editors did once upon a time The won
der is that these gentlemen who know
so well just what the farmers should do
are content to sit in small 10x12 rooms
and issue advice at hundred or two per
month instead of going out and becom-
ing prosperous and independent on the
farm!-Dawson News.
Which reminds US of the words put into
the mouth of Benedick, if our memory be no

From the Griffin News and Sun.

This will be unwelcome news for fat per
sons. DIR. Lula Hunt Peters OF New York,
feminist author and authority on dietetics,
proposes tax on those who tote excess
poundage
Newspapers quote her as declaring fat per
sons a social liability
She says that they take up more room
than the law allows in street cars and thea
ters that they eat more than their share OF
the worlds supply and do less work. She
would remove them or have their tat remov-
ed. as means of identifying any city,
Most OF those inclined to emboupont will
say. Very good; then show us how to get
thin"
Man doesn't deliberately court bay win
dow" SO why penalize the fat Tor a condi-
ton even more annoying to them than to
others

thirty-sixes' for the complacency they enjoy?

How to Meet Fertilizer Problem.

as Senator Harris charged in the senate the

Men can do that and meet the bills, There
is no other effective method Fertilizer IS too
high for ordinary use. Trusts control all the
