DON'T KILL THE BIRDS

Department of Agriculture estimates give
seventy five billion as the probable number of
birds in the world, about forty times the num-
Der of people. They estimate five billion
birds in the United States alone.
Birds are mankind's best friends Practic-
ally every bird is a costless automatic, self
prepetuating bug-and-worm-ki killer, without
whose aid the country would soon swarm with
insect plaques like those of Egypt in the times
of Pharaoh.
1t is perhaps good business for the nation
that gun and ammunition prices are so high
that comparatively few people can buy them
for bird killing. There was time when the
household shotgun was desirable, even neces-
sary to fill the family larder; now the kitchen
table is supplied best, by the absence of the
means to kill the birds that save the crops.

BEWARE-MAY TRY HIS
SCHEME HERE

A slick artist pretending to be a represen-
tative of the water department of Albany,
fleeced number of people to whom he sold a
filtration appliance to the water hydrants
His scheme was to inspect the water, advise
the lady of the house that something was
wrong with it and sold her a filter, purposing
to free it from it's impurities. When the city
officials were notified of the mans operations
it was discovered that he was an itinerant
peddler of the filter and had no connection
with the city. The water was analysed and
found 100 per cent pure and the fellow had
simply lied to make sale of his contraption.
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1926-02-25
THEY WON'T HAND 1T TO YOU ON A
SILVER WAITER

1t might just as well be repeated here that
the community will grow only in proportion
to the efforts put out by our leading citizens,
those who have most to gain by increase of
population in city or rural sections. Nothing
will be handed us on "silver waiter" 1t will
take Individual and collective efforts to get
anywhere. The Chamber Of Commerce is the
proper organization to function for the entire
community and every property owner has an
equal interest in its activities From every man
according to his means is good slogan for
us to adopt in the membership drive for the
organization. Let no man or institution be
found Stacking. Everybody's help is needed to
make Fitzgerald and Ben Hill county the kind
of place that you want it to bethe kind OF
place to which desirable settlers may be at
tracted Put your shoulder to the wheel Join
the Chamber of Commerce.

EQUALIZATION FUND HELPS TEXAS
SCHOOLS

In 1924. 4.1O9 rural and small town schools
in Texas were able to maintain term OF from
one to two months longer than formerly be-
cause the state appropriated one and one-halt
million dollars special aid; $50 schools re-
ceived $3.50 each for instruction IN the practi-
cal arts; 438 children living in one-teacner
school districts had high school training; and
10 consultations were tracable to the bonus
provided for consolidating small and contlgu-
Gus districts.
The "rural aid law of Texas helps county
children in four ways. 1t makes a longer
school term possible in certain districts by pro-
viding not to exceed $50 per teacher en-
Moved to substitute salaries. 1t encourages
the addition of practical arts subjects to the
curriculum by granting not to exceed $3.50 to
each school of two or more teachers which Of
fers instruction in these subjects. 1t aids in
extending high school instruction to boys and
girls who live in districts which do not main
tain high schools by providing for the payment
of their tuition in neighboring districts not ex-
ceeding $40 per month per pupil. 1t induces
districts to consolidate by offering $1,000 for
each consolidation resulting in a school of not
less than four teachers. The law further slim
ulates local initiative, for in order to receive a
share of this million and one-half dollars of
state aid school districts must meet certain
courses of study, and local tax.
The rural aid" law has been on the statutes
of Texas since 1915. That it is popular is
evinced by the substantial increase in it's ap-
from half million a year in 1915
to one and one-half million in 1925.

RAPID CHANGES

The headline writer of the Georgian drew
largely on his imagination when he wrote a
streamer over an Albany (Ga.) story, announc-
ing that the Seaboard Air Line would proba-
bly, include the A. B. & A. in it's expansion pro-
gram AS much as the citizens of Fitzgerald
would like to see this happen, the indications
thus far do not hold out much hope along this
line What worries US now is the prospect OF
having the A. B. & A. bottled up by the Coast
Line and s. A. l.. by their proposed program
of extending their lines both north and SOUTH
cutting off much of the present business OF the
A. B. & A.
The above editorial was written Monday and
it is re-assuring in the light of later develop
ments, that the "bottling up process, brought
the bondholders to a realization of the pre-
carious situation the road and the communities
along the route were drifting to- Fitzgerald,
above every other town along the line, will
reap great advantages, larger pay rolls, in
crease in population, calling for new homes
being built, increased business for our mer
chants and inducement for new merchants to
locate here. Get on the ground floor, buy
yourself little property, build home and
reap large profits when the roads plans are
finally matured and become realized.

USELESS WORRYING

Some people grow wrinkles worrying over
troubles that don't exist, and spend miserable
hours contemplating misfortunes that can
never possibly happen. 1t would be much bet
ter going to the other extreme. as did the col
ored boy who peddled hot-dog sandwiches.
This colored boy toted his basket of barbecued
pups into lawyers office. BOSS, does you
want hot-dog?" he asked NO" replied
the lawyer. Does your brudder want err hot
dog the colored boy asked hopefully. Il
have no brother replied the lawyer. The col
ored boy scratched his head a minute, then
asked, We'll, boss if you had er brudder, do
you reckon he'd want er hot-dog?"

Natures Gift
I Z: MaudsIt .!:s1defs

The ovation given Marian Talley,
the Kansas City songbird, demon
strates how appreciative is the world
of real talent. Daughter of tele-
graph operator, her social status was
as lowly as were her chances meagre
for development of her early indi-
Gated talent. A beautiful voice car
ries such universal appeal she literal
ly sang herself into the hearts OF her
people, and as one person they threw
themselves heartily into the plan to
give her the best opportunity possible
to tell the world that hers was voice
of unusual power and sweetness. Two
benefit performances in Kansas City,
with $4,000 receipts for each was
the first big boost after her addition
given by Gatti-Cassazi, of the Metro
politan and other proficient judges,
and this before she was sixteen years
old. Since then, though the world
has moved fast around her, Marian
Talley has lived in small sphere OF
her own, one of intense application to
study, no public singing, no showing
off, but working and waiting for her
big hour which came last Friday night
when as the youngest star to make
her debut in the Metropolitan Opera
House she fulfilled to the highest de-
gree the fond hopes of friends and
patrons and has reached the very pin
nacle of fame at the first bound.
Wonderful gift, happy girl! Her joy
in singing will be one shared by all so
fortunate to hear her, which makes
this gift the most generous one that
Nature bestows.

ARE YOU A GOOD CITIZEN?

"The obligations of citizenship do not rest
solely or chiefly in the exercise of The privilege
of voting, or in conducting campaigns or in
holding offices. Important as are all these
duties their performance will amount to moth
ing unless our citizens are imbued with the
spirit OF our institutions, which means respect
Tor government of law, sincere desire to
better in every practical way the conditions of
human life, loyalty in all relations of life and
the disposition to be kindly and fair in all
dealings with ones fellow men. "-Charles E.

DOUGLAS WOMEN LEAD THE WAY

In the membership drive for the Coffee
County and Douglas Chamber of Commerce,
sixty-one of the progressive women Of that
town entered their membership, just like the
men and put their names on the dotted line"
for a years dues to their local organization.
Where such spirit prevails among the women
of town, nothing can keep it from growing
The spirit of cooperation permeates the COM
munity and the stranger within their gates
wont be a stranger long.

PUBLIC ASSET

newspaper worthy of the name is public
asset 1t chronicles the news of its section and
town. 1t tells more briefly of the doings of the
world. 1t boosts worthy public movements and
sometimes worthy private objects. 1t gives
space to club news, to church news to business
news. During a time of public stress, like the
late war, it gives without stint of its space to
further the objects of the government and pro-
mote patriotism

ARE YOU SOUR ON THE WORLD?

Take an inventory of your own feelings oc-
casionally. If you find that you are in a habit
of trying to entertain your friends whom you
meet by airing YOUR real or fancied grievances
against the persons whom you do not like, you
are convincing them Of nothing more than that
you are slipping. ANY person who is soured
on the world has lost his efficiency.

SOUND LOGIC

What our government spends, how it spends
and who does the spending are all recognized
as Of public interest. That single vote could
be secured in Congress to keep these things
secret is doubtful. Certainly senator who
should seriously advocate a policy of secrecy
for them would fare i'll at the next election.
Yet it is not more logical to deny publicity
to income tax returns.

Fitzgerald might take time off again this
year and have big Fourth of July. Let the
town people and the country folks get to-
gether and have an old-time Fourth. Might

day, general reminder that both town and
country are still alive.

Indian Takes Charge
The removal of four magnificent
magnolia trees from other places TO
the Biltmore gardens in Atlanta last
week was under the charge OF an
Apache Indian named Longfeather
He is a graduate from the Carlisle
Indian School and was considered an
expert in this line. 1t was work re-.
curing great care as the roots OF
these enormous trees could not drag
the ground without damage. Hardly
a leaf was lost, This addition OF
splendid trees to the terraced area OF
the Biltmore Hotel is of the more IN
terest when it is remembered how
much care was taken in the outset OF
the building operations to preserve
the large trees that were already on
the site. Later the purpose to raise
the surface of the garden proved ILL
advised with reference to the preser-
walton of those trees, as an expert
pronounced it fatal to tree to have
so much of the trunk cut off from the
surface even though wells for light
and circulation of air had been
planned. Truly beautiful tree in
spires veneration and in all plans for
city beautiful we note the increas-
ing care given not only to the plant
ing but to the preserving of trees
even to the most expert surgery and
treatment designed to prolong their
life or their beauty. Prices as high
as $500 have been quoted as the cost
of such work in a number of Georgia
towns

Original Schemes
For Coin Sale

Pensacola people thought of some
original schemes to sell Stone Noun
tain coins. The city recorder for one
day required every fine to be paid in
the memorial half dollars, giving each
a full credit Of ST., the premiums go
ing to the memorial association. This
sale applied $3.50 to the quota. The
recorders name, by the way, was
Fabisinski, which might interest our
100 per cent Americans. A young
Pensacola girl by the foreign sound
ing name of Rosasco, used another
odd device to stimulate the sale of
coins. At central place in the city
she mounted fire ladder round by
round as the sales progressed. After
reaching the top of the S0-foot lad
der she declined to come down until
more sales were made so that anxiety
for her safe descent was provocative
of larger and more rapid sale by the
spectators and several hundred coins
were sold by the time she again
reached the ground.
