two. While more money is spent in
some other states, it is through local
support which safeguards the eco
nonical expenditure and adapts it to
local conditions and the state supple
ments the sum where needed"
The former governor called atten-
ton to the fact that the highway COM
mission, with, as he states, more
knowledge upon the subject than any
Georgia tribunal, showed that the
state now has approximately ten mill
lions of dollars year with which to
build roads, and this sum is increasing
every year, and this Is as much as the
state can economically spend.
Progress consists in getting out of
debt. and not into debt, in Tightening
and not increasing the burden of the
people" declared Governor Slaton.
The former governor referred to
the fact that when Toombs and his
contemporaries wrote the Georgia
constitution they did so with the his
tory before hem of states which had
gone to ruin under the hysteria OF
ond-issuing to make internal i'm
provements. Georgia, herself, Gov
ernor Slaton said, has been stern
warning to them. Pennsylvania
Maryland, Indiana, California, Mis-
souri,, Minnesota and every southern
state from Virginia to Texas has de-
faulted on their public debts, he
showed. He quoted Democratic at
toriey general of the United States
Jeremiah S.,Black as saying that
"bonds were the long bony fingers
that reach into the pockets of poster
ity to impoverish it."

Farm Inventory Is Very
Simple Form of Record

AN inventory can be taken on the
average farm in less than half day,
and for the time spent Il shows the
farmer the most about his business or
any records lie can keep This state
mrnt is made by Prof V. r. Hart of
The fnrm management department at
the New York State College Of Agri-
culture.
N farm inventory Is the simplest
form of farm financial record that
can be kept" he says. "The inventory
shows the farmer his net worth above
debts. and comparison of two sue
ceSsive annual Inventories will show
him whether he got ahead during the
year This is the first step to take in
putting farm on a good business
basis, and from such AN inventory a
credit statement can be made To be
filed with the bank where the farmer
does business.
"Any farmer borrowing money from
bank should flle 81 credit statement
with his bank once a year. The bank
er is custodian Of the funds of his
deroSitors and should not make loans
to any but responsible persons. He
is entitled to and should have the in
formation which credit statement
gives and this statement also generally
gives Il farmer better credit stand
ing at the bank"
The state college at ithaca has
copies of form for taking an inven-
tory. with spaces provided for all
the items 1t also contains complete
directions for taking the inventory
and for making credit statement,
with blanks for two such statements.
This can he had free from the college

Inventory Is Big Aid

The farm Inventory is M aid Ia
keeping record Of property that has
been lent or misplaced, This is often
sufficient justification fer taking the
inventory. although the information IL
furnishes concerning the progress
made in accommodating farm property
is Of far greater Importance Many
farmers who are keeping close record
Of their farm business never fail to
take their farm inventory.

You knew, in your wisdom, that time is healer
and that month year, or ten years from now this
boy would have wondered just why he had conferred
his life upon that particular girl
He adds but to long list of those who
carry out the tradition of dying for love- act
which eulogized in the romantic age of civiiza
ton.
The psychologist would explain that it pro-
ceeded from desire to hurt the object of love- not
from any real belief that his life ruined and
hopeless Hurting those we love is not unusual
But If you believe that he very, very fool
ish figure out the actress whose fance had dashed
her with a dog whip soaring her flesh until she
cringed like animal at his feet
She rushed into the police court to rescue him
from the penalty for his brutality and announced
that she intended to marry him at once.
Against the unanswerabe logic all her own, Of
81 love him." the judge had no defense and so they
left, the man with the dog whip and the girl with
her love, to hasten to the altar.
You would write her down, too, a very fool
ish person or very courageous one.
If you are wise, you will simply come to the
conclusion that love- in all it's expressions is the
greatest force in the world
Before 1t reason and logic disappear. Those who
approach it with cold calculation never find It,
They who respond to it's appeal may find wreck
age and disaster but it brings its moments that are
worth all the price.
Fortunate for civilization that this great
force influences most lives that it finds its ex
preston in homes and fresdes, where it is cher
ished and guarded, and inspires life into pleasant
paths of usefulness.
These erratic episodes, infrequent and occasion
al, only emphasize It's overwhelming influence on

The Better Method

Tine courts VIII determine the LEGALITY OF the
steps taken by the school board to change the To-
cation for the new Shortrdge High School. If any
legal rights have been invaded they will be pro-
tected
1t is unfortunate that this question and all such
questions can not be settled by the better method OF
translating public sentiment into action without re-
course to technical laws or bitterness that comes
from such conflicts.
The Times first voiced the opposition of the
parents of pupils who will attend that school to the
change Of location.
The Times was first to protest that the change
took the school too far away from the pupils
It's protest was made because it believes that 1t
is most important that every boy and girl OF this
citv receive the benefits of the entire educational
system offered by the city.
It's hope is that the day is not distant when
every boy and girl will have high school education
The Times is interested because it believes that
education is the to every problem OF our CIV
ization and that mankind progresses only as edu-
cation becomes more general
The location of schools has a very direct infu-
ence upon this purpose.
The item of carfare may be the of keep
ing many boys and girls from continuing their
school days after passing through the grammar
grades.
The location of a school might easily prevent
the son or daughter Of many families from obtain
inc an education for which the father is taxed
1t was for this reason that The Times urged that
a mistake in judgment had caused the majority OF
the school board to change the site Its survey OF
conditions substantiated that belief. The vigorous
protests of parents supported that position
The Times had hoped and still hopes that the
majority of the board will reconsider their verdict
will listen to the people of that section of the city,
will take the advice of the public-sprited bodies
which have appealed to them to reverse their posi-
ton.
A decision based upon the wishes and desires
of the people is much better than one that the board
had complied with failed to preserve all the tech
meal laws governing their action.
A perfectly legal action might still be wrong
from the standpoint of public interest. One which
jumbed some of the legal safeguards might be still
designed for the public interest.
Let it be hoped that while lawyers are settling
the legality Of the record, the fathers and mothers
who are interested will continue to appeal to the
members of the board to give them what they be-
eve is for the best interests Of the youth of that
portion Of the city That is the better method of set
Ting disputed questions.
