WOMAN'S MISSIONARY SO.
CIETY WEEK OF PRAYER

be the gist of the programs of study
in the Mondays Circle meetings and
on Tuesday and Wednesday after
moons at the church for the women
of the First Baptist church.
This week of prayer for world
wide missions has been changed from
January for several reasons. First,
because our Foreign Board is in des-
perate need of $300,000.00 before
the year closes. This gives our wom-
en- an opportunity to make a Christ
mas gift and Thank offering in one
to the Lords work. Too, it comes
before Christmas shopping has left
us with nothing to give.

INCLUDE OUR COLLEGES
in THE MUSIC SURVEY

| Musical training in colleges is 100
percent more popular today than it
was ten years ago.
approximately one half of all col
lege student leaders, class presidents
and outstanding students play some
sort of a musical instrument.
Band and orchestra work is now
included in the curriculum of two
fifths of the American colleges and
universities.
These are some of the high lights
of survey on college music just
completed by the Conn Music Center,
Elkhart, Ind. The University of
Georgia; Atlanta university; Paine
College, at Augusta; the Georgia
School of Technology, and Wesleyan
college, are the five Georgia institu-
tions of higher learning who con-
tributed to the survey. Close to 200
colleges furnished the information up
on which the results of this survey
are based.
Music has become an indispensable
part of college life in the opinion of
presidents and heads of music de-
partments in the institutions who an
swered the survey. It is not only Of
inestimable value to the college itself,
but is also of great material and
spiritual benefit to the student who
takes an active part in it.
Great stress is laid by college heads
on the benefits of musical training
in character building, the survey re-
veals. Fully one-fifth of the college
executives who contributed to the
survey considered this the best argu-
ment for music in their college or
university. Others mentioned the
social and cultural advantage accru-
ing to the music student, music as
an aid toward developing clear think
ing, music on the campus as an out
let for surplus energy and as help
in getting many youths through
school. All but three of the colleges
find their musically trained students
more efficient in their studies than
those in not so trained.
"Horning ones way through col
lege" compares very favorably with
other methods of self-support through
the college years, according to the
college executives. Despite the COM
paratively limited opportunities Of

Acreage Cut Seems
Certain Next Year

Atlanta, Calf the south es-
capes the effect of bumper cotton
crop this year, it will be tribute to
the faithful work and the public
spirit of bankers and business men,
as well as to the good sense and
prompt decision of the farmers to
unite in a movement to prevent the
crop being sold at loss, according
ment of Agriculture.
to officials of the Georgia Depart
"This years crop and the exper-
ience of the growers during the past
month doubtless will prove lesson
to growers in the planning for next
years CROP" says a statement of the
agricultural department. "The rule
being enforced by associations and
bankers and merchants to withhold
credit from planters who will not
agree to cut acreage twenty-five per
cent should result in marked de-
crease in the acreage, but it should
not be necessary for any rule to be
enforced to induce cotton growers
to act in their own behalf and for
their own protection.
"The movement for reduced cot
ton acreage next year should be a
general one and should be prompted
by the knowledge that another bum
per crop will mean ruin to the cot
ton growing industry"

DR.. FRANK CRANE SAYS.

Elinor Glyn speaks in recent ar
ticle of those who are riding for a
fall.
She says that the term is well un-
derstood by all hunting men, and she
applies it to many cases of domestic
life.
There is no doubt that there are
many people persisting in a course of
conduct which anyone with common
sense can see must end in disaster.
Everybody sees this except the per-
sons concerned.
The nagging wife ought to know
that her actions are constantly alien
ating the affections of her husband
and in time will destroy them.
Strange that she goes on creating her
own calamity!
The boy who is drinking knows
that he is undermining his health,
running his business prospects, and
bringing grief to his parents. The
fall is inevitable, and he rides gaily
toward it. No advice nor guidance
seems to help him.
The girl who persists in imprudent
of happiness. For the sake, however,
conduct is running her own chances
of some contrary idea about her own
independence, she goes headstrong
forward.
Many man in business pursues a
policy which in the end will ruin him,
but he seems to keep it up in spite of
all that anyone can say.
There is many a husband who
treats his family in way that even
tually will destroy their respect for
him and ALLEVIATE them from him.
Nothing, however, prevents him from
continuing his course of conduct.
1t would seem that there is no
remedy for these determined mis-
creants except the golden ak.
There is a certain cumulative mo-
mentum in wrong headedness that
drives people forward to their de-
struction, and how to stop this is a
serious question. /,

"WEENIES" SOCIAL STANDING
ESTABLISHED

The news went out last week that
"Weenies" social standing had been
established. That meant abroad to
a large extent for it is sad, but true,
that things produced at home, like
people, are often more appreciated
abroad than home. All throughout
this territory the Ashburn Weiner
and sausages, made by the Ashburn
Distributing Co., are being called for
and it is hard to supply the demand.
Home folks were so busy, they let the
other fellow at a distance, realize
how good these products were before
they approved them. Since last Fri
day noon when a demonstration of
these sausages were given at the Ash
burn Woman's Club rooms, these pro-
ducts social standing has been approv-
ed and established at home and been
accorded special place on the tables
of Ashburn's discriminating house
keepers. At this demonstration the
weiners, frankforts, bologna, souse
and the breakfast sausage, "Our Pet" /"
were cooked in the presence of the
ladies, the process of making them
out, of only the best meats and under
the most sanitary conditions and 9TH
er interesting facts were explained.
"Our Pet" the breakfast sausage, was
given especial approval by the ladies
present. Ashburn is becoming noted
for her high grade sausage made by
the Ashburn Distributing Company.

HUSBANDS AND WIVES EARLY
MORNING TROUBLES SOLVED

This old world struggled and fumed
along for a mighty long time without
an honest-to-goodness, efficient piece
of kindling wood.
We have it now.
And they make it at Douglas, Geor-
gia. It's tn esnappiest thing in the
way of kindling that ever persuaded
piece of wet wood or coal to burn.
About six inches long, about as
thick as a package of Camels and as
easy to handle as hundred dollar
bill.
Why comebody didn't think of it
before remains a mystery. 1t looks
so extremely simple. Rosin and fat
lightwood chips moulded into a bri-
quett and you have a convenience,
necessity and blessing.
A child can operate it. All in the
world one has to do is place one kind
ler in the fireplace, stove, furnace or
what have you? Arrange the coal or
wood. Strike a match and il, it does
not burn it's because you forgot to
pupt the kinder in.
The kinder doesn't flare up to die
sudden death. 1t burns steadily
and sincerely for twenty or thirty
minutes, which is a most important
feature in the business of starting a
fire.
This little invention promises to
revolutionize the home life of Amer
ican families. 1t has absolutely re-
moved one of the greatest rooms for
early morning argument the country
knows.
It has eliminated the ''hatchet fin
GER" which is finger, unattached to
the hand, but which (before the
hatchet struck it below the second
knuckle while you were endeavoring
to split lighter knott was attached
to the hand.
It has eliminated the necessity of
gathering, saving and scraping to-
gether all the lightwood boxes in the
world.
1t has eliminated work.
The kinder comes packed as neat
ly and as nicely and much the same
manner as shredded wheat. Twelve
briquetts to a carton. Thirty-hve
cents the carton.
The fire-building public has seized
upon them with something close on
to ferocity. There seems to be a
fear prevalent htat there aren't
enough to last or it's too good to be
true. Any way, the demand has al
ready exceeded the supply.
Mrs. Chas. Isler is the local agent
and is placing the kinder on sale at
all grocers and druggists.

STATE TAX DIGEST SHOWS
VERY LARGE INCREASE
Reflects Unusual Period of
Prosperity For State
of Georgia

Reflecting an unusual period of
prosperity for the State of Georgia,
the tax digest of the State for 1926,
as compiled by Comptroller General
William A. Wright Monday, showed
total taxable values of 81, 1,067, ,542,484
or net increase of $13,O68,864 for
the year.
These values pay into the state
treasury total of $5,759, ,494.39.
The figures are considered remark
able because they represent the val
ues for a year in which an unprece-
dented drough struck the state, caus-
ing much damage to the farming in
terests of the northern section. In
spite of that, the increase was great
er than it has been for several years.
Much Of the increase was made
in Fulton county, which made an in
crease of more than $6,00o,000. De-
Kalk county and other of the larger
counties showed increases. South
Georgia showed a uniform, steady
development, Dougherty county be-
ing typical with growth OF more
than a million doliars.
City Property
City and town property showed
the greatest increase, jumping from
s424, ,18S, ,124 in 1925 to $4S4,933,93e
| in 1925. This increase naturally
showed in the returns of counties
which contained the larger cities
Fulton county's values jumped from
$246, ,493, 900 in 1925 to s252,567,'
255. DeKalk county showed a pro.
portionate increase, leaping from
S26, ,43s, ,s45 to 27,690,6s0.
In other large counties the proper
tv values were: Bibb, $47,422,130
Chatham, s5s.252,616; Muscogee
$40, 20, and Richmond, $S9,357,-
O4.
The digest, as announced, does not
include Screven county, whose re-
turns were not complete, but the fig
ures fo rthat county are estimated.
Practically every class of taxable
property showed an increase, accord
ing to the tabulated report of the
comptroller general. The report
shows that for the year taxes were

DEAR COUSIN:
So much has happened since /

jacques returned, and we spent a
heavenly evening together.
! was so glad to see him, that
when he had gone. after being per-
fectlv enchanted with my new frock,

After all, he has been marvellous to
me, and SO very good natured about
everything.
It, was going to spoil his fun, |
knew. when jacques returned, and
dreaded TO tell him his rival was
again on the scene. All the following
day ! wondered just how ] could
break the news to him most tactfully.
But heard nothing from him.
For three days, there was no sotc,
no flower, nor even u telephone call
from him. Then Aunt Louise showed
me q clipping from the English edi-
tion of paper telling Of frightful
accident in which two American mo-
tor cars had collidcd and all the oc-
cupants had bccn injured and taken
to the American hospital in Paris
Imagine what a shock to sec Jim

he was in a very serious condition,
but they were hopeful of his recov-
cry.
Just think, the very evening
was 50 happy-and go unmindful Of
Jimmy-was the evening he crashed
into another car, and all but lost his
life. II is quite too tragic.
There was. Of course. nothing we
could do at the hospital, and we
could not have seen Jimmy had we
wished ito. but Aunt Louise, seeing
that was. very.s much upset.

told me hew ser ka~his condition
