THE GOSPEL OF GOOD ROADS

It is not so long ago that the Caterpiller
Tractor Company published most interesting
volume entitled, "Out of the Rut." This books
story began almost at the beginning of time
and showed the history to road building up
to the present.
It brought out forcibly the fact that in many
sections of the country the gospel Of good roads
is still at that stage characteristic of the mid
die 18th century, covering only the veriest be-
ginnings of modern roadway systems.
It is almost inconceivabe that any American
community could countenance indefinitely the
handicap of poor roads. The whole history
of the worlds advance is inseparable from rs
transportation facilities. The world has pros
pered with the development of transports tlon
rather than transportation with the develop
ment of the world.
Those who live on the great highways suf-
fer because there are places in this nation
where good roads do not abound. 1t Is fof
the general welfare that we should spread the
gospel of good roads until it taps and dev' lops
the hindermost regions, adding wealth and
greater prosperity to our unified nation.

The Dav of Dread

This term might be aptly applied
to Sunday as viewed from the stand
point of the railroad engineer, due to
the large and increasing number OF
horrible grade crossing accidents that
occur with greater frequency on Sun
day because of more people being out
in ears and larger proportion travel
ing strange roads in the interest of
novelty. Many engineers seek for
a lay-off on Sunday for the fear of
these tragic occurrences. The sem
sation of sitting so nearly helpless in
a cab of an engine that is plowing
into an automobile load of people is
such a terrifying experience that 1t
is about to ruin the nerve of locomo-
tive engineers, III the opinion of an
engineer of forty years experience.
Always the possibility of bad train
wreck with no more chance for the
engineer himself than for the JOY
riders and the possible death Of many
passengers is Sunday spectre to be
faced. In 1926, there were 27 such
derailments reported with the conse-
ouent death of SO trainmen and in
jury of 1873 passengers.

Fewer Hogs Seen
For Coming Year

There will be fewer hogs raised in
1927 than were raised last year in
America, according to statistics re-
ceived by the Georgia Department OF
Agriculture. This being true, the
officials point out, the farmer should
devote a good portion of his time to
raising hogs and growing corn.
"The salvation CT the western far
mer has been the hoG," says state
ment of the department. ut is true
that the western country is great
corn country and with the combina-
ton of hogs and corn that section
has prospered. The same can be
done in this section of the country by
our farmers"
The South has an all year round
open climate enabling the hog to
"root" for itself with very little feed
ing from its owner, department Off
cials show. In the West the climate
is severe, snow and sleet covering the
ground for several months il the year
which forces a greater expense for
upkeep on the raiser than it requires
in this section of the country.

meat for his own consumption and

OWN YOUR OWN HOME

The San Francisco Chronicle, in its cam
paign for home ownership, recently ran the
following editorial:
when a primeval woman first found a
drier and safer cave in which to keep her
young, and persuaded her savage mae 20 de-
fend it against intruders, there began the Own
Your Own Home Movement. There also was
laid the foundation OF stable human society,
of the arts sciences, and all that goes to make
up civilization.
"The principle is no less potent today than II
was in the beginning. In proportion to the
ownership of homes, society is stable The
more homes that are owned, the more persons
have a stake in the community and the greater
the number working for the common good.
''And the rule works both ways, for the ac-
cumulated benefits of civilized society are
shared first by the home owners. They have
permanent lein on the blessings of peace and
order and permanency.
Home ownership is stimulus to thrift, and
material assurance of security in old age.
1t is practical training in good business meth
DDS for the children of the family. 1t cannot
help but be an aid to the commandment, Hon

If tourists depend upon their cas-

NEVER SUCH A SPREAD OF WEALTH

The world has seen plenty of potentates
possessed of unlimited wealth, said Matthew
VOL, vice president of the American Ferera-
ton of Labor, in reviewing the present state
of labor in America but never such a spread
of wealth among the masses" They include
practically the entire population of workers,
estimated by Secretary Davis at more than A.
100000 If to these workers are added those
directly dependent upon them, they constitute
the vast proportion of the consumers in the
United States.
That there is an automobile on the average
for every family, with seasonal clothing for all,
radios, pianos, monographs, telephones, books
and periodicals. and hundred conveniences
never enjoyed even by the rich in earlier gen.
erations, the New York Times holds as signi-
ficant, both Of the higher physical standard
of living and Of the greater consuming ability
of those who are looked upon primarily as
producers.
What few industrial disturbances occurred
in 1926, are characterized by the Secretary of
Labor as hardly more than ripples' on the
great broad stream of good relations in indus
try.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH

Success in business depends much on person
al winsomeness For instance, in certain
store, the proprietor makes special effort to
speak to all of his customers. He has several
clerks, and if he is simply kept busy about
what he was doing and did not notice custo-
mers and let his clerks attend to the public,
his attitude would not seem cold in any way.
But he believes in the personal touch He
apparently has pretty good idea of everyone
who comes in, and if he can think of people s
names, and he has long memory for them,
he speaks UP with a cherry Good Morning,
MIR. or Mrs." and the people thus no
ticed are attracted by his cordiality. That
man is likely to build up bigger business and
do more than his share for the development of

rett for digging up the facts, and US Tor passing
along the news. News it is-brletly' truth
about our war loans, or, our League or Debt
ors." which Mr. Garrett explains fully IN the
Saturday Evening Post, issue OF February IL.
In substance he proves, ut has gone Tar
enough"
When the war ended we had bought goods
and services of the British Empire totaling $2,-
100000, ,OO0-for which we had paid in cash
Great Britain had required goods and services
of us to the amount of $3,750,000, ,O00-which
she had borrowed from us-and $500,OOO,O00
more after the Armistice.
In all, when the war ended, we had loaned
the lies $500 900 000-and had paid them
in cash. $4 500 900, ,O00-a small total of S13,-
100000, 900
Enpland now owes US $4250, 100000 and
France S3,000O00,00O.
The present cash value of all the settlements,
including the ore pending with France, IS
roughly one-half the amount the debtors bor-
rowed-and remember So, 100000 of these
loans were made after the Armistice was
signed.
All of this is in reply to another sentimental
wave of propaganda which is now sweeping
our land for a cancellation of Europe's war
debt to us. Don't you think we have loaned
with one hand and paid cash with the other
long enough? If you don't, you would, if you
will read Mr. Garrett's complete article. You

Fruit Festivals

Since Fort Valley decided not to
have peach festival this year, it IS
suggested that North Georgia stage
a similar event using the apple as the
centre of interest, since apple growing
in North Georgia is drawing like
nationwide attention with the peach
growing of middle Georgia.
The apple orchards in season may
not be as colorful as the peach. but
the fragrance is wonderful and view
of them in full bloom would be
sight to attract thousands. Fort VAL
ley may rally to have her festival
again next year but the hazard of raw
weather, as last year that cut off one
day of the festival, means losses IN
thousands of dollars. Add to this
backset the low prices that a bumper
crop entailed last summer and the
Fort Valley people are wise to rest
season on their laurels. A plan sug-
pested is that the sections might al
ternate in their fruit festivals. This
would serve the interests of the state
and give each section chance to re-
cover from the great demands made
on their time and finances, almost
too much as an annual event. Fort
Valley is live and plucky commu-
nifty to have staged such pageantry
as has been enjoyed by thousands OF
visitors in the past several years. The
free barbecue dinner was another eN-
pensive feature but helped of course
in swelling the gate fees, and which
ever of the apple marketing towns
takes up the festival plan can hardly
hone TO do more than follow the pace
set by lavish Fort Valley.

Careless people who think that insurance
covers all the loss in fires, do not count the

salve and palliative, the anaesthetic that mer-
cifully takes away some of the sting. But IN
surance, however admirable, cannot restore

The day is coming when a person guilty OF
fire carelessness will be held responsible fol
his damaging acts, just as an individual IS now
held responsible for carelessness which causes
