The result of the taholat.'on' by more than 120,000 persons, will re-: veal some interesting facts on thej country’.s growth and the variou.s' phases that are covered by.the list of important (piestions that are to bej asked.

WADE’S WORK The bill before the general assembly requiring the slate highway depart ment to take over fur /maintenance an<t reimburse towns for streets in those towpa used as a part of the .stale highway sy.stem, has met a stub born opposition in the upper house after parsing the lower body by a large maji.rity. .Authors and^idafend- e:’s of the bill are vigorously working for, its i)a.ssage but since it has the opjiosition of the all-powerful high way department, its adoption at this .ses.sion is now hardly expected. Ul timately, however, it will pass, for it 4s an-eniirely fair-and-reasonable re- que.st that the involved municipalities are asking in t.he way of sharing in some degree the cost incurred in pro viding and maintaining these city streets that are parts of important .state highways. This procedure is now impo.Hsible because the present law applic-s only to towns of 2,500 people and under, instead of to all towns. The stute-wide fight made in behalf of the affected towns has been lead by a useful Clinton citizen—R. W. V'*'ude, and the pr.igress thus far made ha-H been largely due lo l/ii intelli gent leadership ahd untiring efforts*.

He voted for a higher copper-atoin tax on copper-ations so’s the rich man would pay the taxes. - NATIONAL COFFEE WEEK ... • offers you this important opportunity! \ OUR ( HANChkS CO.ME AND GO A ntnn does not always know his chance when it comes to him, bi’t if he lets it pass, he will lean in time that it went by. Then, too late, he will overwhelm himself with re proaches for not seizing the golden eppt rtunity.

What is luck? .Most of tho time it means to be in the right place at the right moment. The one who is there if the winner over one who is else where. A sentinel may be at his post, but he is futile if he sleeps. Thus to recognize and to imprbve the opportunity one must be broad awake to it with the keen edge of the senses whetted. The worker who brings only part of his mind to his task is not wor^ the whole of the pay he draws. He will miss -chances not merely for himself — those that quickly seized may promote his own fortunes — but for' the concern that when it ^^ured his services supposed that* it was getting every bit jf,, the man be is. N<^-0Pe''has a right to ex- 'peet a worker’s pay unlesa he serves with all his'Xenses aware. * His po.st-holes were conceded iby him) to be the best post-noles ever sold. And he explained his po.siHon with regard to the tariff wall, claim ing that the big chain banks had put .such a high tariff on money that it was impossible to get any of it back into this country and that is why the farmer is in such a pli^rht. He had post-holes suitable for ^ences of all kinds, such as pastures dnd hog lots. He was elected to the legi.slalure on the Anti-League of Nations platform and said he headed the'licket, He was ;he only anti-leaguer m the whole .state of Georgia to head a ticket. He seemed right glad that the U. S. stayed out of the league. His gra\e- .yiird post-holes were square and about 15 inches det;p. He guaranteed that a fence built with his post-holes would keep ail of the dead folks inside and tho.so outside would naturally give no trouble to the fence-- /Fine Foodi dl Fri^ Fruit Salad 25e Now... discovur iof yotirtslf thot tho utmost in coffoo quolity coni bo hod ot monoy-toving prkot.

He voted to force France to pay her debt to Uncle Sam during his last term, but the mo tion was tabled. His 30-inch post- holes were in much demand for out side aerials, but he insisted that his post-holes were more or less adjust- .able both to the weather and the con dition of the farmer who used them. He introduced a bill while in the house making it a misdemeanor for a bull dog to run loose, but it was killed in the senate—as most of the senators had bull dogs.
