been placed upon the carefully set
table. I'm going to a lecture on the
English poets. BY the way, I've Joined
an afternoon class at the university"
Doug said nothing. The woman he
knew always presided at the dinner
table when the man of the house re-
turned from his business. And they
did not go to evening lectures without
asking their husbands to go along.
And they, being married, did not
start to school again. His world had
fallen to pieces.
When Gwen returned late In the
evening, rosy-cheeked and starry-eyed,
Doug, with a something wistful in his
blue eyes and a pathetic sag to his
jolly mouth. held out the envelope
with $50 to Gwen.

Gwen stifled a yawn.

were moments when Gwen craved
with every fiber of her being to be
"just a woman" doing all the delight
full, sometimes foolish things that she
had done before the reformation. Yet
surely this course must change Doug 8

his respect--and Doug's respect was
worth something.
She came from the cabaret one
evening sick of soul. Two men had
usually appraised her. and she wanted
her good, devoted, honest Doug as she
had never wanted him before. Just to
be his wife seemed enough pay for
this world and the world to come.
She paused on the porch for a
moment and looked into the living
room. a charming room that was a
reflection of her best home-loving self.
But her thoughts were instantly
diverted from the beauty of the room,

head resting on the table. She had
never before seen her outstanding

The automobile, making quick runs
to the city after supper for movies
and other entertainment possible, has
given the young people of the farm
ing communities a taste of city life
in its brightest aspect.
They see the city relaxed. They
see it in the role of play-boy. And
they like it.
The movies, shown in every cross
roads village, picture life in the big
city as one of adventure, fine clothes
and quick wealth.
There is no hay to pitch, no mules
to curry and meadow larks to listen
to before dawn.
However, the dust filled, sardine
can subways and the high cost of liv-
ing in the city are left out of the
picture.
1.-The farm Is where they work;
the city is where they play"
This idea abetted by the auto and
movie has its effect in leading young
people on the farms to choose the
city when they grow up.
1t has played large part in the
trend toward urban life which has
been noted in recent years.

$50 far as we know, no other farm
section or country in the world has
ever been able to stand such an enor-
nous and steady drain of It's money
Hfe-b blood for food and grain as has
the South. without complete farm
bankruptcy and collapse for the last
fifty or sixty years.
Our farm pockets have had just as
big holes at the bottom as they have
had at the top, so to speak. AS fast
as our money for cotton, or other
cash crop, went in at the top of the
pecket, Just so fast did it slip through
that hole at the bottom for bread and
meat and grain.
A lot of our good folks are looking
to Washington for government help,
which probably won't come. No use
to look that far away. The source Of
most of our trouble is right at home.
It's the empty corn crib and oat bin,
the empty hog pen and smoke house,
the lack Of hay and forage in barn or
stack, milking tin cans of condensed
milk instead of good COW; few eggs,
few chickens, and eating New Jersey,
Michigan or California grown vegeta-
bles and fruits via the tin can route
instead Of from the home orchard and
gardens.
Some food items we necessarily
must buy, coffee, salt, sugar, etc, but
there is absolutely no sense in the
way we do on this food question. It's
so foolish and unnecessary, this pa
per bag farming" as someone called
it. Some of our farm folks are more
guilty than Others on this particular
brand of poverty producing foolish
ness, but every one of us is guilty in
greater or less degree.
Diversified farm operations, at least
to the full extent of home needs from
home acres, is the first step away from
present bad farm conditions to per-
manent farm prosperity. Reverse the
present way of taking the wagon or
truck or automobile to town empty
and bringing it back full. Town is
the place for you to sell food items
instead of the place to buy most of
them.
Grain meat, hay and forage from
home acres, fresh vegetables and fruit
from your garden and orchard or In
cans on closet shelves pay no long
line of wholesale and retail profits
and railroad freight rates. Every
farmer in the South has his and his
family's salvation in his own hands
this spring. Sew up that hole in the
farm pocket beginning now.

.DrFra1lk Crane Says
CITY LIFE NOT so ROSY

During the past year, according to a
report made by the Department of
Agriculture, there has been de-
crease in the farm population of the
United States of nearly half a mil
lion.
The year before that it decreased
$4,000.
The population of the country as
whole is increasing, that of the ru-
raj districts is decreasing.
The definite trend is away from
the farm to the city.
A cable from Paris tells the same
story.
The population of the country dis
tricts of France continues to flow to
the large cities in spite of all efforts
of the government to stem it.
The general census, just taken
shows a declining population in all
rural areas there except those ada
cent to large industrial centers.
In America the automobile and the
movie have been the two big elements
in accelerating this movement from
the farm to the city.
In olden times entertainment was
found in country affairs; now trips
to the city are substituted.

ALBANY BUILDING GOES
OVER MILLION MARX

Albany, Ga.-Building in Albany
during 1926 was active practically
every month of the year, and as re-
suit Albany had more than one mil
lion dollars in permits for the third
successive year. The nearly $1,200,-
900 in building started in 1926 was
enough to send the total for 1924
1925 and 1926 to the $4,000, 100000
mark.
While there were no large struc-
lures, such as the hotels built here in
1924 and 1925, to swell the 1926 per
mits, the general distribution OF
building was greater than in either
of the preceding years, and the total
permits of $1,198,814 for 1926 was
regarded in many ways a better
showing than the record of either pre-.
ceding year. More homes were built
and more business houses were start
ed than in either of the preceding
years.
Probably the largest single item
in Albany's 1926 building total was
the permit for the Albany theater
While the figures for this Individual
permit were not made public, it is
expected that they were in excess OF
5000, 900, for it is understood that the
L,,;Il;ao will acct oIOco to 0OS0 000
when it is finished. The structure is
to be of steel framework and rein
forced concrete. The steel work is
about complete.
While Albany proper did nearly
S1,2OO,OOO worth of building that
went into the permits, nearly that
much more was done close outside
the city limits that did not get into
the permits. More than 100 homes
ranging in cost from $500 to $15,
900 each, were erected in the various
subdivisions around Albany that prac
tically constitute part of the city
to say nothing of the scores of cheap
er structures in the suburbs. At Sky
water Park, where Barron G. Collier
New York capitalist, and Thad Huck
abee, Albany business man, are devel
oping an extensive amusement resort
more than S10O,O0O.in actual build
ing has been done, to say nothing Of
more than 100000 in grading, land
scaping and other preparatory meas
ures. 1t is expected that 1927 viii
show even more activity in Albany
