"Other societies in this country
maintain their ofi1claI magazines
through the dues received, sending
the magazines to all members with
out further charge. A notable eX-
ample of this practice is the National
Geogra phic Society. Its members
consider the magazine a very great
asset. The magazine now published
by the Daughters OF the American
Revolution is distinct asset, as sub
scribers have often borne testimony.

Our plan is TO Increase the dues

magazine to all. The idea is not to
thrust the magazine upon unwilling
members. but to make the magazine
a very real part of the returns from
membership in the society. In a
measure, since the society has re
peatedly declared there should be a
national organ. it is unfair to ask
70. 900 of the members to continue to
support 1t. while the great majority
have practically no part in it's sup
mort.

been in the state for some time.
That friends have approached him
on the subject is known but Just what
the reaction has been is not known.

went to the Twin Cities to confer
with him.
At Minot and other places he re-
ncwed old acquaintance. IT. Is re-
ported that his health is better than
in years.
a leading citizen Of the state who
met Sen. McCumber in Minneapolis
brought word back that before re-
turning to Washington, he might come
to Bismarck to confer with some Re-
publicans. Mr.. McCumber has inter-
ests at Bowbells where he was due
to spend sometime before going east.
1t is also urged that he may be
feeling the political pulse of the
Northwest for national leaders and
that there is little or no significance
to his visit as far as the senatorial
fight goes.
Some friends. however, among the
federal office hold ers who want him
TO enter the race have been doing
considerable scouting about the state.
Gov. Sorlie seems to b holding a
pat hand as far as the senatorial
matter is concerned. He is following
his own counsel largely.

The entire situation revolves
around the attitude of Gov. Sorlie
Will he leave the seat vacant I'M
til an election rolls around in the

He has announced definitely that
he will not put the state to the eN'

Exit the FIapper.

The style in girls is changing, according
to F1orenz Ziegfeld, who has been response
bic for various types becoming popular in
the years past. This connisseur of feminine
beauty who has picked lovely faces and fig
ures from thousands for his FolHes has turn
ed his back once more on type and opened
his arms, hguratiyey speaking, to the new
that has won his favor She is the successor
to the happer, and in Mr.. Ziegfelds opinion,
she is very wonderful girl indeed
Mr. Ziegfeld insists that the happer us
through" Also that she has taken her arti-
fetal complexion with her He suggests that
bobbed hair has had its day but it remains
10 be seen whether he is right in that. The
creator OF the Follies might awaken TO the
realization that even he has not the power
10 say when the multitude OF American girls
shall bob or cease to bob.
A most interesting thing has been proms-
ed by Mr. Ziegfeld, which if supported by
developments, will record him as a prophet
bringing great and good tidings Mr. Zieg
field declares that neither beauty OF face nor
beauty OF figure will be the requirement in
the attraction in the new American girl, but
that both will give way TO personality. The
new type girl must have that neffable charm
magnetism and individuality that is found il
herself not in her raiInent nor her paints nor
her affections.
This new type girl promises much. II she
will only keep those promises the world will
owe Mr. Ziegfeld more than he probably can
collect, however attractive he may make the
Follies in the future

Costly Railroad Control.
From the Macon News.

Six years and two months after the arms
ice we still have director general OF rail
roads. He has been busy since August 1920
trying to liquidate the unfortunate adventure
into government operation OF railroads. He
cheerfully announces that the work is about
finished up, and we can get some idea as to
what this costly experience in paternaiism
has cost us
Without leaving it further to the imagi-
nation OF the reader. we will say at once
that it cost the American people $780,
600
OF this amount SLIPS, 100000 represents the
losses growing out OF federal operation and
S536000000 the loss during the six months
guaranty period following the restoration OF
the railroads to private control.
1t will be remembered that under the terms
OF the contract the United States govern
ment guaranteed to the railroads a net in
come based on the three-year period previous
10 the war. and an unqualified guaranty
that the properties would be maintained
throughout the period OF federal control i'll
as good repair and as complete equipment a
at present"
Ii was when the roads were turned back
TO their owners that the government made
its guaranty OF a certain income ior period
OF six months.
The entire loss to the United States. as
indicated above, IS officially placed at ST.
o. 100000.
This is a tremendous indictment against the
fantastic theory OF government ownership
and operation OF the railroads. and while a
few misguided men still demand il the facts
and figures officially sat forth should forever
any such step
Whatever may be the albi the facts are
there. and as the New York Sun expresses
it, il we cannot charge it to the war debt
it is to be hoped we may at least charge it
TO experience.

Continue the Work.

The county commissioners are to be COM

partially, at least, relieve the taxpayers OF the
burdensome expense OF government; but III

things that cannot be wisely dispensed with.
One OF these is the home economies demon
strator. Through this agency much helpful
work, some OF which is brought to the atten-
ton OF the public in local news article
printed elsewhere, is being done in the
county The women, who are the home
makers and are in position to know bet
ter than any others OF its value, are prac-
tically unanimous in their desire that the
work be continued. Should the commission
ers decide to contribute toward the employ
ment OF home demonstrator this year The
News believes their action would be generally

Those February Bills.

Some OF the folks who have February lst
bills do not see why their cerditors should
throw away all this good paper stock. OF
course they mean to pay sometime" a
date which is some distance away in many
cases.
Meanwhile their waste baskets are handy
and capacious. Modern psychology says that
anxiety is harmful and even sinful, so a GER
tain proportion OF debtors decide to let their
creditors do the worrying.
AS long as many people take that point OF
view business men will have to add charges
to their goods sufficient to cover bad debts
and interest on slow accounts. Many people
who complain OF high prices do something
themselves to make prices high by their slow
pay habits.
When people pay the grocer he can pay
the bill he owes to the farmer. who can set
tie up with the dry goods man, etc By the
time those dollars have gone the rounds a
number Of different concerns have thereby
been enabled to order more merchandise or
employ more help and business has brighten
I'D up all around.

A Strong Program.

At a recent meeting in Athens OF repre-
sentative farmers, bankers and business men
we'll rounded farm program for this year
was adopted 1t includes the following:
Self-sustainng farms, and better financing
for farmers.
Cooperative marketing for all farm prod
ucts
More advanced and higher educational OPP
portunities Tor rural boys and girls.
Organization OF agricultural interests into
county units.
The program is big and broad enough to
merit the support and cooperation OF every
citizen OF the state, and if generally adopted
and put into practice will push Georgia
forward wonderfully i'll the months and years
to come.
AS the Jackson Progress-Argus says,
Georgia has long needed a definite farm
program or policy. There has been entirely
too much hit and miss activity. We need to
center our interest and attention on few
well defined projects and carry them to a
successful conclusion" The program as
adopted can be applied in any part OF the
state as we'll as in another.
Hon. Eugene R. Black, ore of Georgia 5
foremost citizens who has made a success OF
his own affairs, will address the people OF
Terrell county on the farm program February
2lst and The News urges large attendance.
Mr. Black has a message which it will be
worth while TO hear.

Solving the Fertilizer Problem.
From the Moultrie Observer.

While the fertilizer manufacturers are hold
ing aloof is a good time for the homeioks
TO take over the fertilizer business and re
form it,
One reform that is necessary is to produce
more compost at home, and buy less OF the
commercial fertilizer.
Another reform needed is a system OF
cropping that will put the land in condi-
ton where it will produce without fertilizer.
Still another advantage to be gained IS a
cooperative buying and mixing OF fertilizers
BY farmers. The farmers can buy better
grade OF fertilizers by buying the contents
separately and doing their own mixing
They can save a large part OF their fertili-
ger bill ii they will unite and buy together
paying cash
The fertilizer bill in Colquitt county has
come to be an enormous sum. 1t drains off
a large portion OF the cash income from cot
ton and tobacco. The worst OF it is that us
ing commercial fertilizer is like taking a
drug. 1t requires a larger dose from year
to year.
Ii the farmers OF Coquitt county will put
in more pastures, live stock, beans, vetch,
etc, they will soon find their lands improv
ing and producing abundant crops without
commercial fertilizer.
There will be very little profit in farming
in this section as long as there are big fer
tilizer bills big seed bills, big feed bills, and
big labor bills to pay. 1t makes little differ
ence whether the crops are good or bad
whether the prices are high or low. Profit
will not come where production cost is too
high
