Last week the weather man, through some
misunder tanding. didn't give Santa Claus Y
the weather he had ordered The weather,
in fact being very rainy was not good travelling
weather for the sleigh and rendeers. 50 bonner
and Bitten and Santa talked it and it was
decided that old St. Nick would come on to keep
his appointment with the little boys and girls OF
Washngton-and the reindeers would follow as
soon as possible. That was week ago, and now,
with some fair weather, they have been able to
keep their promise and are here, too So all of you
who came in last week will want to come again
to see the new things-and those of you who, like
the rendeers, couldn't get here on account of rain
will surely not want to miss 1t.

Waycross Herald Sounds Note of

Waycross, as Fitzgerald, is vitality affected
by the laudable efforts being made by our
neighbor counties on the National Highway,
in paving the entire route fro mMacon to
Jacksonville Such perfected road Will at
tract all of the tourists going south and Will
leave the communities on the partially paved
Dixie Highway high and dry, so far as tour
list travel is concerned.
The only counties on the entire route, thus
far, who have voted bonds to cooperate with
the State Highway department, are Ware and
Charlton Partial cooperation has been CIV
en- by Ben Hill, whose only unpaved part OF
the highway is now being prepared for hard
surfacing Irwin joined the State department
some years ago in paving five miles north OF
Ocilla, but we are still awaiting action on the
part of Coffee Bacon on the south OF us, and
Wilcox Pulaski and Houston on the north OF
us to present the State Highway department
plan by which federal aid could be given to
the completion of the Dixie Highway through
these counties. Waycross is awakening to the
danger of delay. In an editorial in the Way
cross Herald, this excellent journal calls for a.
meeting of the road authorities in the several
counties along the Dixie Highwayto make CO.
ordinating plans for the completion of the
paved highway through this section. The
Leader called such meeting eleven years ago
and secured the naming of the Central Dixie
Highway through our territory. Now let us
not lose this advantage by sleeping over our
opportunities and staying in the mud.

The Truth About Georgia.

The ChristianScience Monitor said to have
the largest circulation of any daily newspaper
in New England, will publish a supplement
about Georgia in their edition OF November
21. Numerous noted Georgians will contrib
ute special articles in this issue of the Monitor,
which circulates all over the world Georgia

casted about it's internal affairs that it is time
w. that such an independent journal as the
Christians Science Monitor is known to be, to
tell the facts about our state, educatlonaAy,
morally. financially and industrially. Mrs.
Emma T. Martin, prominent Atlanta woman
who has visited Fitzgerald on several occa-

"The object of the Georgia supplement OF
the Monitor is to tell the truth about Georgia
to the world. Already the Monitor has car
ried extended stories about the State Unlver-
sity, Wesleyan College and the mountains OF
North Georgia, each article being widely CON-
mented upon and copied by the press Ihese
articles were written by Horace Bowman,
editor of the Monitor.
Recently the Monitor has issued special
supplements for the states OF California, Coi-
orado. Ohio and Florida. One for Texas IS
on the press and Florida is working on her
second.

of the South, will be graphically presented TO
to the world through this Monitor supplement,
and every one proud to be a Georgian should
do his part to make this the most attractive
state edition ever issued by the Monitor. Eve

The Albany Herald Leads Them

An edition of 1874 pages is an achievement,
if brought out by paper in the largest OF
cities, but when a journal in city the
size of Albany, about $4,000, succeeds in pub
fishing an edition of that size, it becomes su-
per-achievement, credit to the publishers no
less than to the community spirit which made
it possible. The Albany Herald published a
Kiwanis edition, in honor of the state con-
vention of that organization, which convenes
in Albany next week. containing 164 pages Of
reading matter, valuable information about
the territory comprised in Southwest Georgia
and the many opportunities which await the
intelligent application of capital and brains to
make profitable for the investors. The entire
edition breathes an optimism which is whole

and money to that section.

home-that it has clothed them and fed them
and cared for them in sickness and in health
and has furnished them friends who have been
steadfast and true. They magnify It's lmper-
fections and spread clouds wherever they go.
They often make life miserable for others and
invariably make it reproach to themselves
But there is a brighter side to the story.
The abuse these short-sighted people heap up
on their place of abode generally falls upon
unsympathetic ears Their nelghbors and
friends areas people who might have been
valuable citizens, capable of constructive work
but whose dispositions have been warped IN
younger days, possibly through no particular
fault of their own. Their criticisms are listen
ed to with good natured patience, but are for
gotten about as soon uttered.
The views of the chronic knocker and fault
finder have less weight than those of any other
adult element of the human race. When he
thinks he is knocking his town he generally
finds that he is kicking himself instead.

immigration Discussed.

Truly every one believes there is
still something to learn, something
to do about immigration. A book
that promises unusual interest and
perhaps the most practical solutions
for this complicated problem is one
that Secretary of Labor Davis has
Just published. His position is one to
nut him in close touch with every
phase of the immigration question.
Briefly his recommendations are for
selective system on the other side,
through the consuls with preference
given to near relatives, especially the
dependents of those alien citizens
who have already declared their in
tentions to become citizens. This
would eliminate that element of
cruelty that separates families I'M
able to pay for passage for all at one
time. Mr.. Davis advocates system
of registration also on this side
sort of "Uncle Sam fraternity" in
which some oversight of aliens should
be retained for their own and for the
country's good. He also suggests
a vesting of administrative authority
to suspend immigration during Pc
riods of unemployment in the United
States.

Swing Back. o, Pendulum!

Just before the almost certain in
crease of population and business in
Georgia is fairly under way glimpse
ct the farm records just completed
by the department of agriculture
shows there was decrease of farms
in Georgia between January Of 1920
and January of 1925 of 61,634, or a
drop of 1913 per cent. The reasons
were the boil weevils ravages; the
migration of negro farm hands; dry
seasons; consolidation of farms; and
a general recession from wartime
expansion of agriculture which was
equally felt in other sections. Farm
ing prospects for this section grow
brighter every day as we feel the
tide settling back from Florida devel
opments, and there is little doubt
that the statistics of 1880 will tell
a vastly different story of Georgia
farming.

Ladybugs Are Used
To Save Fruit Crop

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 28.-Catching
ladybugs in the high mountains of
the west to save fruit crops in the
valleys below was developed with a
profitable though decidedly unusual
occupation, according to report re-
ceived here by the Georgia Depart
ment Entomology. One bug hunter,
it was stated, supplied more than
100000 of the insects to the fruit
growers the past season. it was
stated.
The ladybugs are transported in
cages to the fruit growers and
planted" in quantitiesof 1000 to
the acre. They thrive and multiply
rapidly and attack the fruit pests
that would otherwise harm the fruit
and diminish the crop.
