ARMY FLYERS SAY The
INVISIBLE AEROPLANE''
Will Soon be Available to
the War Department

Washington, DC, January 29.-In-
visible aeroplanes with great stability
because of a slight change in the adj
justment of the biplanes, soon win
be available to the war department as
the result of discoveries made by Of
ficers of the signal corps. The in
visible" material is liquid and s
moulded into shape, but it is said to
be lighter and stronger than canvass
and to be adaptable to any description
of frame. The war department ex-
poets soon to make public the discov-
cry.
The invisible aeroplane in time of
war is regarded by army officers as of
incalculable value With the new
material they believe that heavier
than air machine would be virtually
indistinguishable at 500 feet, a much
nearer fight to an enemy's position
than any aviator probably would es
say under present conditions. This
invisibility and the use of a muffler of
the aeroplane's motor, in the belief of
officers, would render the heavier than
air machine one of the most silent and
deadly engines of destruction, besides
making it invaluable for scouting pur-
poses.

.BY HER CURTAINS
YOU MAY KNOW HEX
Read Your Neighbours Soul
by Window DfapGry

In her window curtains woman's
little characteristics vii be as OBJ
viously displayed as in her hat or cos
tune.
For instance, the woman whose cur
tains are all little bits of frills and
flounces, rather ragged and none too
clean, is she who usually has plenty
of frayed edge visible at the hem OF
her skirt, and her gloves present sew
eral peeping finger tips.
She is gay and frivolous, careless
and slovenly, but rather lovable foe
all that She manages to look on the
bright side of life, and although she
meets her husband in the evening
with bright smile and informs him
that she has quite forgotten his din
ner," he finds it impossible to be
annoyed with her for many minutes
together.
Then the straight closely-drawn
curtains, decorated with a neat, small
pattern, are typical of the convention
al woman.
She is a slave to propriety, and her
acquaintances are the "snobocratic'
women who discuss little else but
their clothes, their cooks and their
dressmakers. This type of woman
seldom opens her windows for fear
the dust should soil her curtains.
The soft dainty, cream curtains be-
long to the artistic woman Her home
is quiet but charmingly furnished, and
her very presence found to be
soothing and restful.
Occasionally one sees extraordinary
window curtains, which differ in col
or pattern and shape from most other
peoples Sometimes they are pink or
yellow, at other times white and per-
fectly plain, save for a strip of en-
broidery down the center
Now these curtains are naturally
the handiwork of the bold, audacious
and eccentric woman, whose bump of
originality is very highly developed.
The inside of her house is in keeping
with her windows, and odd color
schemes-such as a black drawing
room-are much in vogue.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.

l hereby announce myself candi-
date for Sheriff of Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of W. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ga, will be my
deputy.
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested us to add
a third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the Jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration, we have decided that Sum-
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the Jail and prisoners i'm
portant enough for some one to be on
duty !here all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr. ],
B. Nicholson will be jailer and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.

was some delay in the matter of the
gates, but the contractors have as

COMMUNITY VISION
No Great BettermCRt Ever
Came Until Dreamed of
Baton Rouge State-Times.)

Baton Rouge State-IlmeS.l
There is a remarkable similarity be-
tween the careers of communities and
the careers of people-iust as the ca
reer of a community is the average ca
reer of all its inhabitants; just as its
community vision of possibilities is the
average of the power of imaginative
perception of its citizens.
Have you in mind city that has APP
pealed to you as perfect?
1t never became perfect until it pic
tured perfection to itself in advance of
realization.
The Louisiana State Fair never be-
gan to manufacture trade and wealth
and prosperity for Shreveport until q
little group pictured to themselves and
then to the public what that fair could
lie and mean.
New Orleans never had the public
belt and the public wharf system until
a little group that scoffers termed
dreamers and Missionaries had built up
mind-picture of what those aids to
commerce would do for the business
world of the Crescent City.
No great material betterment ever
came until somebody first dreamed It
and preached the verify of the dream
to the multitude of those who, if thev
dreamed at all, dreamed of something
else
There are men who dream-but can
not do
There are men who can debut can
not dream.
There are men with power to sense
the practical in the dreams of others,
and with those others to work out the
actually
And now and then in the work there
are the blessed individuals who can
both dream and do.
So there are communities, where the
men with the vision and the men with
the means, work in harmony and with
understanding, the one checking the
extravaganza of the other, the other
stimulating the imagination Of the
first-and it is such communities, Los
Angeles, Pasadena, San Diego, Hous-
ton, San Antonio, Shreveport, MinneaD-
oils Detroit, Duluth, where the dreams
come true.
That community is unhappy where
the average vision canont picture tho
community as it might be when best
developed and its people cannot work
toward that ideal. This is true be-
cause realized ideals, for communities
as for men, never come without cons
cious and directed effort.
