People Who Never See or Think.
From the Dalton Citizen.

1t is not the cost of living that is so high;
it is extravaganza and waste, and this eX-
travagance and waste is due largely to ig-
norance of the most primary economic laws.
This is why so many thinking people are
impressed with the idea that domestic science
and home economics should be taught in the
public schools. Since so many parents will
teach their children nothing OF these essen
tials in the home it seems that it must be
done in the schools.
The most elementary student OF economies
can point out youngsters who come from
.extravagant and wasteful homes. They are
careless, they are Indifferent, they are
thoughtless in the performance of their daily
tasks.
They do nothing at home except receive
the homage OF over-indulgent parents, who
can't, or don't or won't the great wrong
they are doing their children in teaching
them by precept and example that idleness
and carelessness and thoughtlessness are
commendable virtues.
People who are idle and careless are waste
full and extravagant. They can't be otherwise,
because they don't care. They haven't any
thought of the rainy day that is sure to come.
They figure that the Lord will provide, for
getting that the Lord only helps those who
help themselves.
Salvation through work is the only saliva
ton worth while. Faith without work is
dead" says the Bible

The Red Cross Roll Call.

The Red Cross roll call is now under way,
and appeal for support of the organization
has gone out with the hope that ready re-
spouse will be made The condition of the
times ought to be sufficient to justify the as
sumption that membership at 81 per year
will not be hard to sell
Everyone knows what the Red Cross is
and has BEEN what service it has given and
is now giving. It's record during the world
war is not even approached by another or
ganizaton. Now, after the conflict, when the
effects of the wars cruelty are to be seen in
the pitifui condition of disabled service men
and the dependents the Red Cross is still
carrying on, giving service in the alienation
OF humanity's sufferings. The Red Cross has
come to mean in the life OF this country an
establishment and an institution for service,
mercy, sympathy and understanding of hui
man needs.
The call for membership is being made at
an opportune time. Ahead are the holidays.
First there is Thanksgiving, and remem-
brance OF the presidents proclamation in
which he reminded the people that they had
been blessed with a returned prosperity. So
the people can join the Red Cross if they
will. Then Christmas is not far distant, that
time Of peace on earth and good will to
men If the holiday spirit is given free sway
by the people themselves the Red Cross roll
call ought to succeed this year as never be-
fore

Wis Bloodworth's mother is now before the
bar OF justice to answer to the charge of
bootlegging," according to the Butler Her
aid. In reproducing this statement the Cor
dele Dispatch says AT time when the life
of her son hangs by a thread it would seem
strange that mother should be hailed before
a court for violation of the law in any form,
and that she should be accused of bootlegg-
ing is strange reading If that be the mother,
then is there anything to wonder at in the
fact that son is under sentence of death
for murder" No. there is nothing to won
der at With such mother it would have
been wonderful indeed had the boy amounted
to anything.

TWAS NEATLY DONE.

From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
The editor of The Dawson News is a
diplomatic writer, especially when it comes
to discussing agricultural matters. For in
stance, in late issue of his paper he says:
The News is not telling the farmer
how, to run his business, but neverthe-
less, it is our opinion that he will miss an
opportunity to better his condition if he
does not sow grain this fall for feed next
spring and summer and sow vetch to i'm
prove his soil.
If any other editor in Georgia or any
where else can do it more neatly than that,
let him prove it.

Putting a Brother Right.

Noting that several country banks in South
Georgia have a million dollars on deposit and
owe nothing the Madisonian remarks:
mo matter what they say about the
marshes and malaria and mosquitoes and
bad water, you've got to hand it to South
Georgia when it comes to being wide
awake and progressive"
That somehow reminds one of sour
grapes. But be that as it may, our brother
at Madison knows very little of South Geor-
ga-this section of it at least. AS to bad"
water, there is no purer or more whole
some water in the world than that supplied
by the deep wells to be found throughout
South Georgia. From the standpoint OF
health there can be no comparison between
it and water from the surface wells of middle
Georgia. AS to malaria, there is very little
of it. 1t is under control and by proper by
giene has practically been stamped out The
mosquito also has been conquered, and will
soon be a curiosity in many communities. The
writer did not see nor was he serenaded by a
mosquito in Dawson the past summer-an eX-
perience, no doubt, which our Madison friend
cannot claim. There are no marshes in much
the greater part OF South Georgia, and while
Morgan is one of the best of many good
counties in that section of Georgia we venture
to say ft has as many swamps and low areas
and more waste land than are. to be found
in Terrell county,
Our Madison friend has the same mistaken
idea about South Georgia that obtains among
many in middle and north Georgia. He should
take day off and come down and see for
himself the best section of the world in eli
mate, productive soil, health and conditions
generally. We would be delighted to have
him and to show him.

Pointed Paragraphs.

When a married man turns out bad his
mother says that his wife didn't understand
him and his wife says that his mother spoiled
him.
Women have a peculiar knack of picking
out the goods that will wash, but they us
ually get children that won't.
No wise man ever questions child in
public unless he is sure of the answer.
AS rule the man who is unable to trust
himself displays pretty sound judgment
The average man is apt to blame his lack
of wealth to his lberality.

HONEY FROM COTTON BLOOMS.

From the Americas Times Recorder
There is nothing like doing an old thing
in new country to find out new things
about it.
Central California, depressed by low prices
for dried fruits, has begun to raise cotton
And now it is discovered that the cotton
blossom makes very good white honey So
we shall have not merely cotton cloth. cotton
oil and butter substitute, and cotton cattle
feed. but cotton honey. Stalk, root fiber seed
and blossom, all are useful if we have but
the enterprise to use them.

Any man who has ever run out Of gas at
the crucial moment has wished that filling
stations might be as numerous as barrooms
in the old days, says the Macon Telegraph.
The Telegraph man evidently hasn't travelled
about much, else he would have seen that
there already are filling stations on almost ev-
cry corner in the cities and towns, at every
crossroads and some in between. The mod
ern filling station is as numerous as that OF
former days.

1t is, of course, true that the courts are
not wholly responsible for the wave of crime.
Home training or the lack of it, schools and
churches must share the responsibility. But
back of the courts the homes, the schools
and the churches is the huge, antiquated,
machine of the law itself, fur
nishing thousand loop-holes of escape and
technicalities made use of by shrewd
attorneys to defeat the ends OF justice. The
whole system of criminal Jurisprudence needs
to be revised and modernized

Some Terrell county farmer can win the
$1,000 prize offered by the Citizens and
Southern bank for the best yield OF corn on
five acres. Numerous yields OF more than

some have gone we'll above 100 bushels. That,

needs to be done is for some of our good
farmers to make the proper effort.

According to the report OF the federal bu-
reau of public roads Georgia has 1916 miles
Of surfaced state and county highways, and
is exceeded by only two other states-Ind-
ana and Ohio North Carolina, which has so
often been held up as shining example i'll
way detrimental to Georgia, has 1910
miles OF surfaced roads, which is more than
l 1000 miles less than Georgia has. The News
still contends that, taken as a whole, the
roads OF Georgia are the best to be found in
any state of the union.

Coolidge surpasses all presidents within the
memory of the oldest inhabitants in appeal
to popular sentiment Grant was as silent
and reticent toward others. But Coolidge is
something more than silent-he is picturesque,
wizardlke, mysterious. So when he does
speak his words are appealing, pervading.
