CAMBRIDGE MERCHANTS
FIND COOPERATIVE
BODY ADVANTAGEOUS

CAMBRIDGE, Ga, Dec. 23.-Bain-
bridge merchants are elated over the
large Christmas trade they have had
this holiday season. Without single
exception they attribute the banner
business to systematic campaign by
the. retail merchants association of
the city.
The retail merchants association is
operated as branch of the Balm
bridge Board of Trade. Twenty-seven
OF the leading merchants of that city
compose this organization. Their slo-
gan Make cambridge the Trade Cen
ter of Southwest Georgia" has caught
the ear of the people of several ad-
jacent counties. This coupled with ex-
traordinary values and excellent
stocks of goods is working miracles
for the merchants.
In addition to the transportation
bureau which refunds railroad fares
and automobile mileage, the associa-
ton operates a jam-up credit-rating
bureau. Every citizen of the county,
whose name appears on the books of
any merchant is rated as to his credit
standing. Any merchant, a member
of the association, has this informa-
ton in hand. Already numerous old
accounts have been settled and the
cambridge merchants are now in bet
ter financial condition than ever be-
fore.

ut affords me pleasure to heartily
welcome Messrs. Kalmon, Horton and

manic board for the incoming year. /
wish to say further that you all, l
am sure, understand in measure,
that our city has been running, for
quite long term of years, behind f.
nancially, or showing floating debt
far in excess of what it should be, and
I therefore wish to take this occas-
ion to emphasize to each of you alder
men the Importance of keeping this
well in mind in shaping up our finan-
cial budgets for the new year. I hope
you will, therefore, exercise all posi-
BILE skill in arranging our expenses for
the new year as low as consistent, or
a good judgment will permit.

other and work unitedly for the up
building and better interests of our

CLEAN UP AND START
OVER AGAIN IS JUDGE

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 23.-That the
state of Georgia should wipe all its
divorce laws off the statute books for
at least ten years and allow the pop
ulation to get a new start in life, is
declared by Judge ]. It. Pendleton of
the Superior court here.
"Our divorce record here in Atlanta
is nothing short of shocking" de-
clared the judge, land I see no pros
pect for betterment, except through a
complete abolition of the divorce laws
for term of years.
Perhaps by that time husbands and
wives would find out that it is not
such a difficult matter to live together
after all, and they might become con-
vinced Of the wisdom of settling
among themselves disputes of home
life, instead of rushing pell-mell into
the divorce court"
Judge Pendleton says that divorces
are becoming more numerous every
day all over Georgia and particularly
in Atlanta. He says that by the time
tie present year closes it will show
that more than 600 divorce cases have
gone through the local courts.

Washington. Feb. 26-Arguments before the supreme court on the right of Leo M Frank, convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan. an At 1anta, Ga,.s factory girl, to release from custody on a writ Of habeas cor pus Louis Marshall, of New Ydtslxs continued his argument for Frank, while Attorney General Grice and So1 ncitor General Dorsey, of Georgia $were ready to present reasons why the release should not be ordered.
 The contentious of the attorneys revolyed around whether the trial court had lost jurisdiction over the prisoner either by smob vdo1ences manifested throughout the trial. or by Franks absence from the court room when the jury returned its ver- dict. Other points concerned ques- tions as to whether the writ of ha,- beas corpus was the proper remedy in view of all that had taken place in the case.

AMERICAN WOMEN
 LOOK YOUNGER,

Our women are carrying their years better. Not only is the length of lives increasing but they are making their stronger children. There is an up- lift to the whole race Many explan- ations are offered. but the cause un- deriving the whole effect is the irA- provement of the home and the Tightening of its drudgery. There is now more time for improving the members of the family; more time for culture and travel; more time for civic and other public matters.
 Staying younger is largely matter of keeping interested in things, and. to keep interested, there must be va riety. So the current criticism that woman is flying from one thing to an other and undertaking too much and wearing out her nerves is not alto gether sound. Some of them do, doubtless, but they are the exceptions Woman's great trouble in the past has been routine. Doctors found that the reason so many eases of mental dis ease came from the farms was that farm women did not have enough in terests. Their loneliness was dis astrous. Now that the farm women have the telephone and the automo- bile and the social societies and other means of diversion and employment, conditions are improving.
 So,s the lessening of woman's work by system and the use of all labor saving devoices possible really mean. that beside the enjoyment of better

PHYSICAL CULTURE

A recent report from the medical advisor of Cornell University shows that only 21 students have fully de- ve1oped bodies, while 86S cases Of curvature of the spine is reported. Most Of the cases of curvature are of course slight, but no doubt there is a great deal of ma1fornation.
 An Impression prevails that if a child is turned loose out doors the active fresh air life can surely be depended upon to give a good pf1ysi- cal development, But unfortunately such is far from the case. A great many children early contract the stooping habit. Their lungs are poor Iy developed, and their shoulders seem to bend forward to fill the gap.
 4 town that can afford a physical director for its public schools finds the money we'll spent. Other places should realize that 1t does not cost much to have school children looked over by doctor occasionally. The average teacher ought to be able to give simple exercises in gymnastics that would have. much value. and which would brfighten the children up for their studies.
