Sometimes all is bright and serene
and other times it is darby anc
cloudy.
Sometimes it is clear weather and
sometimes stormy.
As in the case Of the winds, of
which we know not whence they come
nor whittier they go, but take. their
blowing as an act of God beyond our
control, so our moods and tempers
seem to arise we know not how.
The best we can do is to maintain
our poise as much as possible and
turn toward our ideals when the
winds of pessimism and doubt are
upon us, and remain as equable as.
we can.
We speak of getting out of bed
in the morning with the wrong foot
foremost. 1t is another way of say
ing that we are in the grip of mood
that is beyond our control.
How many acts of our fellows that
seem to us malicious are simply due
to the prevalence of some uncon-
trollable mood in them?
There are some people, thanks be,

DrErank Crane Says
The Soul Has It's Weathers

that are always bright and cherry
One who has this sunny disposition
is to be congratulated, and ever
more to be felicitated are those about
him.
If one can be a point of sunshine
in this storm tossed world he has Ger
tainly added much to human we'll be-
ing.
The alienation of moods, how
ever, is common to all of us. We
should all expect some dark days and
resist their influence as much as pos
sible. We can do very much with
our will.
Our judgment Should tell US the
danger of letting ourselves go when
"the wind is from the east" We
should wait until the times change
and not give way to dark humors.
1t can be accomplished if we are but
fixed in our determination to encour-
age cheerful moods and discourage
untoward feelings.
We cannot control our feelings, it
is true, but by set purpose we can
make them strengthen us.

in the Southern states. Georgia, Ala
hama and North Carolina have Wed IN
a sort of three-cornered race for the
honors as the chief sweet potato pro-
Queer.
MANY millions of bushels of the po'
tatoes are produced in the South II
is true, but the output is far below
what it should be, in the opinion OF
the officials of the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture.
'If the value of the sweet potato
as a food product was appreciated
by the world at large, the South
would have an opportunity for pro
ducing a crop that would be fan
greater in value than cotton and quite
as useful to humanity" said an Of
ficial of the agricultural department
"The Georgia Yam should be sta
pie food product an every market
in this country and in the senters OF
Europe. It has no equal as food
or delicacy."
The value of an acre OF sweet po'
tatoes is greater than the value of an
acre of cotton, officials of the agri'
cultural department said, for it Is
shown that the past twenty-five years
the yield of sweet potatoes has aver
aged 90 bushels an acre, at an aver
age price Of 83 cents a bushel, OF
$76.36 an acre.

of course can tell, the dealers say, but
strange things happen and it may be
that the child of the future will re-
ceive instruction through listening

may have to say.
At any rate, the radio receiving
outfit is already fixture in a num-
be rof school houses, and the radio

ATLANTA PLANS HOME
FOR FRIENDLESS TOTS

Atlanta, Ga.-Announcement has
been made here of plans for a new
location and adequate buildings for
the Home for the Friendless which
has for many years afforded help and
care and shelter to "any child IN
trouble"
The proposed new plant embraces
a tract of acres of wooded land east
of the electric power station on Narth
Boulevard, which is regarded as a
peculiarly attractive and convenient
site. It is stated that new and
modern home, with an administration
building and two dormitories, is
planned by G. Lloyd Preacher and
company, Atlanta architects, to meet
the ideas of those now in charge of
the institution on Highland avenue.
"a real industrial school is an i'm
portant feature of the new design"
said Mrs. w. L. Champion, president
of the home, "for it is the aim of the
home to fit the child to take care OF
himself, as well as to help and care
for him when he is in trouble. >"

WAYCROSS EDITOR STRONG
FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING

The slogan, LESS Cotton; More
Diversified Crops" is now being
sounded throughout Georgia and 9th
er Southern states, according to Geor-
gia agricultural leaders.
1t is planned to bring into the
movement as allies of the enemies of
all-cotton, the more humble members
of the agricultural nobility, Corn,
Wheat, Mich Cows, Poultry, Hogs
and perhaps Sheep, though the latter
has been seriously reduced in num-
Der in some Southern states, it was
pointed out by officials of the Geor-
gia Department of Agriculture.
One of the instruments of warfare
to be used in fighting Cotton-for it
has assumed the proportions of bat
tle-is the pigs snout, an effective
weapon, it is claimed, but one that
is not as extensively used in Georgia
or any other Southern state as it
should be. Leaders of the fray say
they hope to witness the unseating
of the white-haired king, Cotton, by
the active use of pigs shouts in root
ing him out of his regal seat.
Diversification, state agricultural
department officials say, means first
of all to pla nthe crops so as to pay
the expenses of the farm, leaving one
or two crops as net profit.
Concretely this means to raise the
feed at home, buying as little as pos
sible, says Jack Williams, editor of
the Waycross Journal-Herald, whose
editorials on Investigation from time
to time have attracted statewide at
tention. The Waycross editor points
out that it means to plan to have
something to market each week in
the year, thus enabling the farmer
to pay the cash price for what he
buys instead of the credit price.
at MEANS" continued Editor Will
liams, ''to have all the bills paid be-
fore the tobacco crop or the cotton
crop is placed on the MARKHAM in
surance that all the money paid for
the tobacco or the cotton crop will
be net profit"

GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT IS SEEKING
new MARKETS FOR CROP

Atlanta, Ga-Special emphasis will
be placed on marketing facilities fol
farm products during the remaining
months of j. j. Browns administers
ton of the state department of ag'
riculture, according to statement u.s.
sued by Commissioner Brown, outlin-
ing a tentative program which ne in
tends to carry out as far as possible
before his retirement from office in
June.
at is our purpose" Mr.. Browns
statement says, "during the coming
season to do everything within our
power to form an alliance with our
sister states of the agricultural Sec
lions of our nation, both south and
west, looking toward national legis-
lation beneficial to the marketing of
farm products as we'll as cooperation
in the distribution of farm products. ="
Mr.. Brown points out that for sew
erai years the department advocated
diversified farming in Georgia, and
that diversification has been devel-
oped to marked degree. Market
ing of these diversified crops has
now become the vital problem with
which the agricultural interests must
contend, and which must be solved
before financial and economic relief
can be attained by the farmer, Mr..
Brown said.
Solution of the marketing problem
depends largely upon complete
change in the system of distribution
of farm products, in Mr.. Browns
opinion.
There is no reproduction, but
woeful lack of coordination in distrib-
uting farm products, Mr.. Brown de-
clares, and the application of sound
business principles to the marketing
situation will bring necessary relief.

BRUNSWICK DOCKS ARE
REBUILT BY RAILROAD

Rehabilitation of it's Waterfront
terminals at Brunswick have beer
completed at a cost Of several hun
bred thousand dollars, according tt
announcement made by the officials
of the Atlanta, Birmingham & Coast
railroad, formerly the A. B. & A.
which is now a part of the Atlantic
Coast Line system.
These improvements called for the
deepening Of the immense docking
basin so that ships drawing as much
as thirty-two feet coula be loaded
and unloaded at the docks.
All four of the big warehouses
have been put into perfect repair and
one of them has been moved to the
far side of the docking basin. The
cotton sheds, the power plant, the
platforms, and in fact all port facil-
tiles have been restored and improved
and in addition railroad tracks which
will park ITS freight cars have been
constructed, the officials said.
The floor space in the four ware
houses totals 10000 square feet, and
there are 10000 square feet in the
platforms.
Eight big ships with combined car
go capacity of $4,000 tons can be
simultaneously loaded or unloaded in
the big concrete walled basis. Two
of these could each draw thirtw-two
feet and the other six could each
draw twenty four feet. These ships
would be large enough to handle car
goes which would load 1000 freight
cars.
Just a few days ago ship loaded
with $500 tons of German potash
for fertilizer was unloaded at the ba-
sin docks at Brunswick, and although
no announcement has been made it
is understood that steady procession
of ships bringing potash from Ger
many and nitrates from South Amer
lea will unload their cargoes at the
basin docks and after unloading take
on new cargoes of cotton, naval
stores, lumber, crossties and other

dug all these shrubs out and moved
them. They We're growing so large
they were crowding out the later
paintings"
Usually the new memories crowd
out the old" commented Miss Lane,
almost bitterly. They had approach
ed a round bed filled with many diff
ferent varieties of flowers planned in
way that could never be, in any
stretch CT imagination, called artistic,
but the earth was free from weeds
and freshly cultivated.
"AlI these shrubs along the side
fence were started here. / brought
that bridal wreath from my sister s
home in Ohio five years ago. The
Towering ounce my brother sent
me from Iowa, and so on all along
the fence, but here are my newest
memories See these sweet yiolets-
My niece sent them to me from Ala
hama. Pa and I are going to move
them to cold frame and I'll sell
punches in the Spring and give the
money to missions"
'I1l be a steady customer" said
Miss Lane, as she searched among
the dark green leaves for a stray
blossom.
THESE geraniums Mrs. Thomas
gave me for Winter boomers. They
are ali ready TO lift into pots. Mrs.
Bronson brought me the lemon ver-
bena from her daughters over at the
county seat. The periwinkle was
given me by an old lady who never
had anything else in her garden. All
these glads will blossom next year"
What is this vine?" and Miss Lane
lifted runner heavy with thick, rich
leaves.

I'm cultivating it because I want
some planted on pas and my graves
when we are gone. Isn't this portu-
lacca pretty? A park policeman gath~'

remark while Miss Lane. who had

where she had left them, murmured
that she must go.

professional air.
Whatever her answer was no one
ever knew, she least of all, but he
interpreted it to his own satisfac-

each other like two happy kittens

her finger, as she watched her guest
out of the corner of her eye.
"The rose?" Miss Lane asked.
"Where did you get it? Each plant
seems to have story and it revives
a pleasant memory for me. Certainly
it has one"
A sly little smile crossed the old
lady's face. I'm not surprised that
1t looks friendly to you. Don't you
remember you called on me when /
was i'll last Valentines day and you
had a box Of roses? You gave me
one, with a pretty little speech about

Miss Lane stared at the rose. while
the tears stood in her eyes. She well
remembered how happy she had been
that day with her box of red roses.
