Masterpieces Lost to
World THROUGH Flames

The world is very much poorer today
because so much classical literature
Of the early centuries has been lost.
Aeschylus is said to have written
from 20 to 90 dramas, but only seven.
In Il complete state, have been handed
down to us. Only seven, too, of the
12O tragedies written by Sophocles are
known, with, perhaps, 100 fragments
of the others. OF the dramatic works
of Euripides, which are said to have
totaled 90, only II tragedies and
play, dealing with satyrs, also few
fragments of the other compositions,
now remain. These losses, also of
Greek lyrical works, are due to the de-
struction by fire of the two great Ii.
braries of Alexandria in Al B. c..
when the city was besiged by Julius
Caesar. In this fire 100000 volumes
were destroyed.

The Wall of a Suffering Soul
By lRUlN 5. cobB

Once upon time there was pre-
scented in a New York theater a his
torical drama by new dramatist-a
play so bad that even the critics
didn't have the heart the next morn
ing to tell the whole truth about 1t.
At the end Of the third act, when the
suffering audience were writhing In
their seats, a stout man who had
been patronizing bootlegger began
to utter loud cries. A number Of
kindly disposed persons took up the
chorus and in another minute the mis-
guided playwright had responded to
what he thought was curtain call
and was standing before the foot
lights bowling his appreciation and
mumbling inarticulate words Of
thanks.
When the author had withdrawn
himself the stout mans companion
turned upon him angrily.

How well they succeeded Is
easily seen in the excellent layout
of the rooms and the sturdy con-

In choosing construction mate
rails that they believed were

selected concrete masonry walls
with an exterior covering OF port

ton assures the owner a fire
safe home and one that will not
deteriorate with the passing of
years. Maintenance, also, is at a
minimum; an occasional painting
of exterior woodwork is all the

Ford Sees Coming Change

"The modern city, has done it's work
and change Is coming" Henry Ford
said, in recent interview. 1.-THE city
has taught US much, but the over.
head expense Of living In such places
Is becoming unbearable The cost of
maintaining interest on debts, Of
keeping up water supply, sewage and
sanitary systems, the cost of traffic
control and Of Y ,'icing great masses
of people is so great as to Offset the
benefits Of the city. Industry of the
future will be organized on a big
scale, but competition will force It
to move to parts Of the country where
labor Is steady and overhead costs
are low. Instead of making the man
come to the city, we will take the
work to him in the country"

Bran Valuable Food

a Bran, the dark, tibrous portion of
wheat, is less completely digested than
the rest of the kernel. AS bran is
sold commercially 1t has some food
value from the starch as we'll as from
the minerals and vitamins associated
with the fibrous parts, but it is used
chiefly for its laxative properties. In
moderate quantities, and especially as
1t comes ground up in graham -four
it is usually considered to be a de-
sirabe addition to the diet.

The only practical plan under
which human beings can expect to
live together in peace is the Golden
Rule.
We must love one another and do
as we would be done by.
This is not an ideal Sunday School
precept, but it is a rule that has
teeth and claws in it. Unless we
obey it we shall suffer. And not one
party, but all parties suffer.
War has been demonstrated to be
about as disastrous 20 the victor as
to the vanquished. The successful
allies in the recent great World War,
such as Great Britain, Italy and
France, are now almost as bad off as
the unsuccessful group, consisting of
Germany, Austria and so forth.
War is not only cruel and inef-
fectual, but it does not pay.
It pays human beings in the long
run to cooperate and not to con-
tend. AS General Grant said, it is
doubtful if any waw was ever fought
about an isue that could not have
been better settled in some other
way.

land OWNERS COOPERATION NEEDED FOR \
live AT HOME" PLAN FOR FARMERS ASE
FOSTERED BY PUBLIC UTILITIES 1OF GA
By EDWIN CAMP
Editor, Tri-Weekly Atlanta Jonrpaf

/ do not see how any leader of
thought can fail to endorse heartily
and give his active support to the
movement so intelligently fostered by
the Public Utilities of Georgia for q
Live at Home" plan of agriculture.
| The wisdom of it is self-evident at
all times, but how pertinent it is at
this time when the cotton market has
suffered disaster.
The average farmer who owns his
farm does '1ive at home" / believe,
and has always lived at home I be-
lieve careful survey of the state,
or of selected portions, would prove
that there are few farmers cultivat-
/ ing their own acres, who buy any
considerable amount of foodstuffs for
themselves or their stock.
But it is something else again with
the renters and the choppers and if
were asked what believe to be the
most serious problem regarding Geor-
gia agriculture, should say, without
hesitation: Tenantry.
=, Tenants are those who cultivate
land belonging to others, and they
are bound by the terms Of their rem
tai contract. Some crop on shares,
the owner to get part, the tenant to
get part. Some pay a fixed rental,
in cash or in product. But all of
them are forced by contract to grow
only what the landlord says, to cult
vate as he says, and to sell it as and
when he says;
There you have the root of the
evil. <A.%
The landlord wants nothing save
his rental. He can see nothing as a
product certain-of immediate sale ex-
cept cotton. He therefore demands
that his tenant grow cotton; he speci-
fies the acreage to be planted and he
watches the cultivation with jealous
and unrelenting eyes.
He will not let the tenant Give at
home"
You can not appeal to his patriot
ism with any effectiveness; nor is he
colder and more heartless man than
his city brother. He wants his rent,
just as the apartment house owner
does.
But you can appeal to his intelli-
gence, if you go at it in the right
way.
Once convince him that happy
and prosperous tenantry will be to
his advantage as landowner; once
convince him that this can be brought
about by permitting his renters to
utilize a sufficient amount of land
and of their labor to produce the
things they need for thier tables and
