OUR OLDEST ADVERTISER

While looking over some very old
local newspapers the other day, we
were struck with the fact that only
one of the advertisers of forty years
ago, is today represented in our col
umns.
This one is Phillips and Crew Piano
Company of Atlanta.
Many other firms have come and
gone in that time. Even the patent
medicines, like Browns Iron Bitters,
for example, are no more, but the
above firm is living example of
what judicious advertising and square
dealing will do, and we would COM
mend them to our present day read
ers.

ARE YOU A TREE-OR A BUSH

In an article in the August Ameri-
can Magazine, a writer says:
"The 'all-around' man is, suppose,
the highest type of human product
because he is able to meet all kinds
of people on terms of mutual inter
ests and understanding. But-well
guess it is the difference between a
tree and bush. A bush starts to
put out branches from the ground up.
But it never gets very far
1t is a pleasant object, nice bush is
But it never gets very far. A tree
has one central trunk, which stands
like pillar of steel against all the
buffets of storm and stress. And it
goes on, up and up; climbing, ever
climbing higher. The branches are
fine enough. But they are not the
tree! The thing that stands and gets
somewhere, and holds together the
whole growth, is the central trunk
That, to my mind, is Purpose.

WHAT DANGER CAN DO

There is an article in the August
American Magazine in which writer
says:
Danger is the best teacher in the
world. 1t can teach boy to swim.
1t can make man out of careless
youth in a day. 1t can transform a
timid woman into raging lion. 1t
is the test of human mettle. 1t is
the developer of human souls.
Danger has made the American
people thrifty overnight. We have
subscribed for Liberty Loans of stag
gering size Yet the amount of de-
posits in the sayings banks has not
decreased. What all our preaching
and warning could not do, Danger has
done"

EVERY WORD is TRUE
AND WE ENDORSE 1T

The Tribune-Herald is informed
that there is movement ON foot in
the Georgia legislature to cut off the
$4,000 appropriation heretofore
given to the "Woman's Economical"
department of the Georgia Normal
and Industrial College located at
Milledgeville. In fact such recon-
mendation appears to have already
been made by the House committee
on appropriations.
While we are not informed as to
the reason for this action, we do
most earnestly and sincerely urge
that this money which has been used
for the purpose of instructing the
young women of Georgia in the sci
ence of economics be cot taken away.
If there is anything that the wo-
men of the state should be taught
right now above everything else it
is Economics" ard that is mat
ter that a large proportion of them
know very little about.
The trustees of this school are
protesting against the recommended
action and we think rightfully so.
AS a matter of fact we don't think
that any of the usual appropriations
for the Georgia Normal and Indus
trial College should be cut off. This
is one of the most valuable educa-
tional institutions IN the state, and
every department should be operated
to the fulles advantage.
Cutting off this $4,000 would be
poor economy in our opinion, and
the Trrbune-Herald gladly joins in a
loud protest against such action.

MOTHERS IN WAR TIME

A beautiful preface by Maurice
Maeterlinck to series of powerful
French war pictures by S. Levy
Dhurmer, contains the following:
Their sons are taken from them at
life's fairest moment, when their own
lives are on the decline. And yet,
our mothers do not weep as have the
mothers of other wars. We know
not what sustains them and gives
them the strength to bear the remain
der of their life. Some among them
have other children, and we can I'M
derstand how they lavish upon them
the love and the future which death
has cut short. Many have never lost,
or else they try to recover their faith
in the eternal promises. But so many
others, whose dwelling is forever des-
olate, seem to entertain the same hope
as those in whom hope has always
been alive.-Red Cross Magazine.

Secretary Daniels had all the bet
ter of the argument with Edwin Hur-
ley and cambridge Colby. The lat
ter gentleman told the senate COM
mittee that enforcing prohibition a.
round the shipyards would result in
a greatly lessened efficiency because
of the i'll feeling it would rouse in the
breasts of the men. They admitted
that this was merely an opinion. Mr.
Daniels said that he had enforced
prohibition in the navy and at some
Of the shipyards in dry states, and it
had Increased the efficiency of the
men. Mr.. Hurley and Mr. Colby I'M
doubtedly meant well, but they had
been confirming their reading to ma
terial printed by the brewers.-The

OUR NAVY

The U. S. Navy has now above a
half million men, and they are equal
in efficiency to any other men who
have ever been in our navy, which
means that they are superior to the
personel of any other navy in the
world
And remember the much abused
and maligned Josephus Daniels is the
man who made it so. When he took
office he began at the bottom to in
vestigate the needs of the navy, and
one by one he has put into effect
reforms, that have gone to make 1T
an honor. instead of a reproach, to
belong to the navy.
Enlisted men are given chance
to study and fit themselves for ad-
vancement in the navy, or for the vo-
cations of civil life.
Prohibition in the navy applies to
officers as well as men, and this per-
haps had much to do with increasing
it's efficiency.
And it is not "milk and water"
navy either for even the most ram
pant whiskey papers have ceased to
point the finger of scorn or to argue
the wisdom of "dry" navy.
All honor to Secretary Daniels and
the Unites States Navy.

SOME RULES FOR SUCCESS

George Reynolds, well-known
Chicago banker, says in the August
American Magazine:
ITO sum up, therefore, these are
the essential rules, as | see them
"Choose your life work early.
make your own rules of conduct
early.
"Choose your friends carefully
EDO more than the routine work of
your job.
Decide quickly in all matters, and
act promptly.
eff right, ignore criticism; if
wrong, change without delay.
practice economy. Be neither ex-
travagant nor niggardly.
"Avoid depending upon your
friends. Give as much as you re-
ceive from them.
practice diplomacy-it smooths
the rough spots and gives you the
advantage on the next move.
Cultivate cheerfulness, TO enable
you to carry the necessary and throw
off the unnecessary burdens.
Indulge in sufficient play and re-
creation to keep the body strong and
the mind vigorous.
"Be square with yourself as with
those with whom you are associated"

Folks who come very near getting
our goat are those who want some
thing and won't ask for it, but by

Yes, and compared to the above
class we are sincere admirers of the
fellows who disagree with you and
fight you openly.
