Christmas Is Coming

You may have overlooked the fact, but
Christmas is just around the corner. Uncle
Sam, through his postoffice department. is al
ready making his preparations for the holi-
day. The Christmas rush is always real
problem for the postoffice department. Even
though he shops early-and he usually doesn't
the average citizen always puts off his
Christmas mailing until the last minute.
The postoffice department is already pre-
pairing and sending out propaganda urging
early shopping and early mailing. There is
no departmental selfishness in this move; it
is made in the interest of every parton of the
postoffice. Early shopping means selection
from complete stocks of merchandise; early
mailing the certain delivery, on time, of the
gift upon which both the gver and the recip-
lent place much store.
1t is only a month until Christmas and that
short time will pass by in hurry. It is NOT
too early to begin your Christmas shopping.

Heard About Georgia

Mr.. Ralph T. Jones, well known
newspaper writer in the state and
country, has recently made visit
to England, the land of his birth. He
states that over there the four things
that people generally know of Geor-
gia, are about the Georgia peaches,
about Stone Mountain, and Frank
Stanton's Mighty LAX Rose" and
Joel Chandler Harris "Uncle Remus"
stories. These are all things to be
justly proud of, and its our good luck
that moving pictures have not been
made here to give the usual erro-
neous ideas of our people as the
country in general suffers in the for
eign viewpoint from the absolutely
false presentations made of Amer
lean life.

There is milk shortage in Florida, there is
also a poultry and egg shortage IN FLORIDA.
The people in Florida are too busy chasing
the prospective big profits to pay much at
tention to the steady little reasonable returns
from honest hard work-month after month
and wear after year. South Georgia offers the
great opportunity to the man who IS willing to
work for steady reasonable profits-and be
content to rest assured that as long as his
working ability hold out as long as common
sense and fairly good judgment is at hand
he can make a good living for himself, surely
and certainly, and stack away neat profit in
the margins he is sure to be receiving every
week in the year. It is the better policy to
keep the cows in Georgia and send the milk
and butter to Florida-for fancy prices. South
Georgia offers better advantages for the dairy
man than any other section; the area is tick
free after a long fight and hard one and a
fence built across the state to separate the
Florida tick-infested territory from the Geor-
eia cleaned-up region; land is better in South
Georgia-for pasturage or for feed crops of
a larger range of variety than can be cheaply
produced anywhere else; and the seasons in
South Georgia are better than the climate in
the regions to the north or the west or the
south of this great mild territory-where cat
tie can range on pastures all the year round.
Keep the cows in Georgia-ship the milk from
poultry farms in South Georgia--and get the
fancy prices for eggs from the tourists who are
ready to pay for fresh articles of food

No Nobel Prizes
This Year

For the first time since the Nobel
prize fund was instituted twenty-four
years ago, there will be no one of
all the five prizes awarded this year.
This decision was announced last
week by the board of directors, but
no reason was given to the public.
During the World War and at other
times not every one of the five were
given, also the peace prize has been
awarded three times to societies
rather than individuals, including the
International Red Cross, and Theo-
dore Roosevelt rather than Woodrow
Wilson remains the outstanding per-
sonal winner of the Peace prize in
America, probably because Wilson
was not able to get the cooperation
of the United States in the League of
Nations.

Milk for Florida

Under the above caption the Savannah
Morning News has a strong appeal to South
Georgia farmers to enter on larger scale the
business of furnishing milk and butter, eggs
and poultry products to the rapidly increasing
Florida populations. The advise is sound and
we take pleasure in reproducing the editorial
for the benefit of our farmers who are not
likely to read the original. The News said:
South Georgia ought to be the dairy farm
for Florida. Milk cows are being shipped in
small numbers this month from some South
and Middle Georgia sections-to Florida.

Highway Safety Slogans

The State Highway Department of Ohio is
using a number of safety first slogans at safety
exhibitions in an effort to reduce motor acct
dents. Several of these were originated by
the department and have found wide vogue.
Here are some of them:
l. Don't try TO scare locomotives with your
horn.
2 A road hog roots up macadam with his
nose.
3. Our roads are wide and smooth, don't
burn them up.
4. Death is so permanent-take minute or
two at those dangerous railroad crossings.
5. Tragedy in seven words: Speed In
creases; Breath Ceases; Rest in Pieces.
g. Horse sense as we'll as horsepower should
enter into the operation of motor vehicles.
T. Live to ride another day by obeying all
warning signs.
8. Believe in highway warning signs-they
mean what they say.
9. Drive with care--you may meet fool.
10. A reckless driver is criminal
IL. Keep your hands on the wheel-let your
girl hug herself.
IL. The three ''H's'-"Hooch, Hugging,
Haste"-cause rs per cent of the motor acct

Facts and Fancies

dCIS anu u d1CtcS
Taking exceptions to the charge
against religious influences of col
lege made by Rev. RAIDER, an evan
gelist in Atlanta last month, Profess
sor ]. S. Stewart, of the University
of Georgia, set about compiling fig
nres to show the exact religious
status of college students in Georgia.
Comparing Freshman statistics with
Senior statistics, of church member
ship and of belief in God, it is shown
that 80 per cent and not five per cent
as asserted by the evangelist leave
college as church members and be-
levers. This is, however, census
of Georgia students, and differs, no
doubt, by large percentage in re-
suits that would be shown by sur
vey of many other states and of some
very we'll known institutions so that
the complaint of the evangelist is not
without definite provocation, sad to
say.

Loue of "Bush" Strong
in Average Australian

All true Australians refer to the
country districts of their land as the
bush. They prefer it to the more
sophisticated expression "the country"
The dictionary definition is "a thick
shrub" and that is all the word con
veys to most people. To an Austria
Ian it means more than almost any
word in his vocabulary, writer in the
Youths Companion asserts.
1t will conjure up for him a vision
Of a wide tract of land covered with
brushwood-s andalwood, star bush
cleaning with white blossoms, SAT
from waffle and feathery may-stretch-
ing away unevenly till it meets the
edge of the dome of the sky. The sky
always seems so much more vast in
Australia than in other lands, and the
stars so much bigger!
If he comes from the scrub country,
the bush will mean to him forests of
thin brittle-branched mulga or tangled
three, the whole trunk of a giant
eucalyptus standing strongly among
1t here and there and the gay eol0red
cOckalO0S c3tIlHg Slffllly oNeFuedt. IL
the plains of New South Wales are his
home, he will recall a day when he
rode alone for many hours across the
red plain, only checking lis horse
while he opened the gates in the
barbed wire fences with his boot. till
the low roofs of the homestead came
into sight and he sow the green fringe
of the willows by the deep-banked
river
The QueenSlander will think of a
night that he spent camping among
colossal red gum trees, when he slept
on a bed of understanding branches
and heard the howl of the dngo, his
horse hobbled near by, and the last
| flames of the fire li%hting up the tree
trunks and making the leaves far over
head CULVER.
To each one it will stand for some
thing different, for the area Of Aus
tralia is nearly 100000 miles, and the
bush stretches from the orchard and
dairy lands around the coast to the
unsparched deserts of the CENTER
