AGENTS WORK sHoUD BE CONTINUED

A neculiar condition confronted the Uraho
Jurv Monday when the matter OF recoilliiie'o-

Hard Surface Roads

This is the season that motorists
feel the advantage of good roads or
else the lack with particj9lar stress.
Our winter rains stay VA rs for
several days on sire. XXI what
they can do to a dirt road is subject
for invectives by all those who
founder through. A Florida man,
past editor and secretary for several
chambers of commerce, has written
the clever parody below:
"Hordes of autos now remind us,
We should build our roads to stay,
And, departing, leave behind us,
Roads that rains won't wash away.
And when our children pay the mort
gage
Father made to haul their loads,
They'll not have to ask the question,
Here's the bonds, but where's the

Twixt the Cup and the Lip

One of those irritating slips hap
pened to Joseph T. Mcpherson, Of
Nashville, Tenn, who was just at the
point of making his appearance in
Grand Opera at the Metropolitan. He
suddenly developed cold and hoarse-
ness that put him out of commission
an addition with Mr.. Otto Kahn last
though a coach load of Nashville
friends arrived to share in his expect
ed triumph, which made it all the
harder to have the debut deferred.
This young man came to Atlanta for
April and had the surprising success
of contract a month later which in
dicates his great apparent talent. His
Metropolitan friends are enthusiastic
over his voice and his prospects and
he will soon again have his chance.
His voice is basso. He was to have
appeared in Aida.

Jewish National Fund

There is now fund of $4,000, 900
for the purchase of land in Palestine
for Jewish refugees from those coun-
tries where they are being prosecuted
and which has been raised in small
amounts of nickels and dimes and
even pennies from school children in
tn eUnited States, during the past
thirteen years. Augmenting the fund
has been the annual sale of the jew
ish National Flag or Flag of Pales-
tine in miniature. It is computed
that the last flag day celebration in
Atlanta yielded sufficient fund to
buy three and one-half acres of land
in Palestine which will support one
entire family of refugees. The land
is being bought from the Arabs and
10000 acres is the amount punches
ed thus far.

WHY THE FAFRMERS COMPLAIN

Since the world war murmurlngs OF dlscon
tent have been heard from time to time among
the farmers. They contend that the prices OF
farm products have not risen fast enough tc
keep pace with their cost of living
Some figures recently made public by the
National Industrial Conference Board indicate
the farmers are correct in their contention
These figures show the owner-operators
taken as group by itself, and allowing them
out of their farm income return OF five and
one-half percent on their nvestment-whlch
is the lowest rate their money would earn II
invested in farm rtgages-realized by $44O
per farm owner-operator as the return on Ia
Dor and management during the crop year
1925-1926.
This is less than half the tenant farmers
average income and less than third of the
average annual earnings of other occupation
al groups for the same period
In the following table are given the index
numbers of the average return to farm opera
tors owners and tenants combined, on their
labor expended on the farm, compared with
the average earnings of workers in other oc-
cupational groups, including industrial wage
earners, railroad workers, clerical help, pub
lie employees clergymen and school teachers,
and the effect Of the cost Of living in city and
country as affecting the purchasing power of
their respective earnings:

Ex-Slave Celebration

There is an association of ex-slaves
in Fulton county who will celebrate
its twentieth anniversary on Decem-

Holmes Institute and students will
take part in the program along with
the former slaves. There will be
negro folk songs, spirituals and plan
tation melodies also some speeches of
tribute to their former masters by
many who recall the devotion that
was sometimes a mutual feeling, and
continuous after the war. The OBJ
ject of the association is to keep from

Women Could Clean Politics


Governor Nellie Taylor Ross OF
Wyoming, has addressed the League
of Women Voters in convention IN
Syracuse, New York. Her theme was
the power of women to thwart cor
rupt control of political affairs if
I.they would not shirk their response
bility.
When women fail to exert their
privilege to vote they also fail to re-
pudiate corrupt methods and fail to
rebuke them by the ballot. Mrs. Ross
deplores the fact that many women,
like too many men, allow principles
to be obscured in their factional pre-
judices and keenness for party
triumph.
As a rule, we find women more
conscientious than men in the exer-
else of their opportunities to do pub
lie service, but not all women have
accepted their personal obligation as
voters yet. Almost any other phase
of public welfare appeals stronger.
Still they should recognize the fact
that evasion is now wrong, and that
their slackness puts them in the class
of irresponsible citizens and with the
same slogan as moderate drinkers
who also "use it (the ballot) or leave
it alone"
