Seldom a day passes that the atten- tion of the Daily Times is not called to the fact that Cordova harbors more than it's share of worthless dogs who nightly disturb the slumbers of our residents. In fact, this nuisance has grown to be almost intolerable, and unless the city council sees fit to abate it some of our citizens threaten to take the law into their own hands and start wholesale extermination of these canines.

THAT RAINY DAY
By H. Addington Bruce

BY h. AdQ1nStOn Bruce
T~RULY we have yet to learn as people
the lesson of thrift. The war has
- taught not few of us to be thrifty
but by no means all.
Of this I was strongly reminded by con-
versation with a business man of my &C
quaintance, the manager of large store.
Meeting him for the first time in months, I
CHANGED to ask him ere we parted:
"Hows business?"
At once his smile died away and his face
sobered int serious lines as he made answer
From one point of view business has never
been better in the history of our store. From
another point of view it is not so good.
I'VE are selling more than we ever did be-
fore, and at higher prices. But we are SELL
ing largely to people who, frankly, should not
be buying the things they are buying.
men who used to buy twenty-dollar suits
of clothes think nothing now of paying forty
or fifty dollars. These same men pay more
than they need to pay, or ought to pay, for
their neckties, shoes, and other clothing sun
dries And they buy more extensively than
formerly
"Jewelry and luxuries of all sorts are in
uncommon demand Articles that used to in
terest only the few are now sought eagerly by
the many.
81 know, of course, that people have more
money to spend than they had before the war
If prices have gone up, wages have gone up
also.
"But the fact is that thousands are spend
ing out of all proportion to their increased
wages. They seem to forget that there are
such things as rainy days. When the rainy
days do come I wonder what will happen to
them-and to business in general
Rainy days, we all need to remember are
sure to come.
They do not always come in the same way.
To some people they come as sickness, to
others as loss of employment, and, again, to
others in the form of unexpected losses
through fire, unsound investments, and what
not else.
If, then, the sunny days are days of I'M
wise spending, with never a thought to
stresses OF the future, the rainy days will Of
truth be gloomy ones-perhaps days of dire
catastrophe.
The savings bank, the window in the post
office where War Savings Stamps are sold
these are places which ought to be visited in
the heyday Of prosperity with as much regu-
Iarity as the stores where money may be
spent. Wise are they that follow the example
of the Workingman who declared:
"Nickels and dimes and quarters have a
queer way of losing themselves. They scam
per out of your pocket before you know it,
and you cannot tell where they have gone.
| $50 I lock up my spare change in Thrift
really need it,"
| Put something aside, if it be only dollar
week, for the rainy day that is one of the
most certain of all certainties. This is the
cry of common sense, the appeal of wisdom.

Guard Against Typhoid,

In urging the people of it's community to
take typhoid vaccination the Walker County
Messenger sounds a note that should be
trumpeted throughout the State. ''In this
age of enlightenment" says our contempt
rary, when science shows us how to prevent
disease, everyone should take the precau-
tionary steps to safeguard his own health
and that of his family and community
Particularly is this true after the warning
which physicians have given of the extraor-
binary perils of typhoid at this time The
wave of influenza which overswept the coun-
try last winer left thousands of people in
a weakened health, and hence peculiarly sus-
ceptible to other maiadies. 1t is more than
ever important therefore that every possible
preventive be mustered into service during
the summer which is upon u.s.
Chief amongst these is sanitation. The
| household and the community that value
their health will see to it that no fly-breed-
ing nook or corner is left unpurged. Refuse
of every kind should be destroyed or remov-
ed, drastically as though it's every atom
were the habitat Of legion of devils. That
| is really the nature of every piece of matter
| on which fly lodges and feeds. Careless
ness in this respect is intellectually danger
Gus.
But sanitation alone is not enough The
safest plan is to make assurance doubly
sure" by incubation against this terrible
typhoid germ The State Department of
Health, reinforced by the cooperation of To-
cal health authorities and physicians, is max
ing an earnest effort to have this safeguard
taken in every Georgia community. AS a
matter of self-protection, the public should
give wholehearted response.
The Republicans should remember that
they can do lot of foolish things between
now and the next election.
If Lodge and Knox are not careful they'll
increase President Wilson's popularity.
Some men provide for the rainy days by
borrowings somebody's umbrella.

THE NEW RELIGIOUS RIVALRY
BY DR.. Frank Crane =

The sects are competing. And everybody
is pleased.
They always have competed, and the
rivalry was not always edlfylng. In time
past they, have contended with the sword.
Catholics slew Protestants in Spain, and
Protestants slew Catholics in Ireland. The
ancient Jews were not tolerant with Gen
tiles and the modern Gentiles have perse-
cuted Jews. Less bloody but quite as acrl-
monious contentious ragged among the re-
ligious denominations in the last century
Baptists and Anabaptists disputed over
water: Universalists and Evangel1cals over
fire. From the corner grocery, where Eph-
rain Tut was known as the best long-ols-
lance debater in the settlement, to the pie
nary councils where high dignitaries hurled
anathemas at heretics, the war went merrlly
on.
Then it stopped, seemed to die down with
the end of the century. Nothing was settled,
neither side whipped, they just appeared 10
run out of breath.
Now it's on again. The War brought it on.
They are vying again.
But it is a wholesome welcome, construc-
tive and altogether God-blessed rivalry now.
Because it is not a clash of arguments
and invectives, but rivalry of good works.
The evangelical bodies, through the Y. M.
G.. A. followed the soldiers with coffee, cigar
ettes and chewing gum. The Salvation Army
came also with doughnuts The Roman Cath
OlicS enter the field OF helpfulneSS Win VlgOT,
as the Knights of Columbus. And the Jews
were not to be outdone.
In this strife there is no bitterness. Each
group cheers on the other. Ancient animos1-
ties are forgotten.
For each is working, not for the selfish
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of their own organization
but for Humanity.
They serve not some tribal Deity, not a God
of the Chosen People, not some narrow and
territorial Divinity, but the God Of All the
Earth.
This points the way to that religious Unity
of which past ages have dreamed. For it
will be Unity of the Spirit which is the
bond of peace" and not for the ignis fatuus
of Unity Of Opinion, which is the bond of con-
tention
Of all by~products of the war, this, next 10
the League Of Nations, is the most important
in its bearings on human progress. For it
promises the unification of men in their spiri-
tual impulses.
We shall no longer strive to reach Heaven
by building separate Towers of Babel, but by
creating one grand Temple of Humanity, the
foundation stones Of which shall be Of un-
selhshness, its soft-shining windows of love,
| its golden towers Of that One God who hath
made us all of one blood
/ Here shall come the Hebrew with hi. ancient
moralities, the Romanist with his stately
| ritual, the Salvation Army 1assie with her
| burning zeal, and whoever else will Justify
| his faith in God by doing good to men.

QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES

John Blevins was the most bashful lad in q
Wessex village. For three years he had been
keeping company with Salie james, but he
could not bring his courage to the popping
point. One Sunday night as he was leaving
the garden gate of his inamorata he encoun-
tered the old man, who had begun to chafe
under the diffdence of his daughters sweet
heart.
"Look-ee here, john" exclaimed pater-
familias, "you have been coming to see my
daughter for several years now and I want to
know what your intentions are"

TROM Cincinnatus to Sergeant York there
r has been, time and again, a curiously
interesting union of the great soldier
and the hearty farmer Washington himself
furnishes an engaging example. How highly
the Father of His Country regarded the ploW-
mans career may be gathered from his cor
respondence around the year 1888. From
these letters, one of which--an original, of
course-sold in England few months ago for
approximately six hundred dollars, the Lon
don Telegraph quotes these quaint observa-
tons:
agriculture has ever been among the
most favored Of my amusements, though
1 never possessed much skill in the art,
and nine years dereliction has added
nothing to knowledge which is only to
be perfected by practice" (By nine
years dereliction,'' the General meant, it
would seem, the little matter of winning
American independence "The more 1
am acquainted with agricultural affairs
the better am pleased with them. Inso-
much that l can nowhere find so great
satisfaction as in those innocent and USE
full pursuits In indulging these feelings
l am led to reflect how much more de-
Iightful to an undebauched mind is the
task of making improvements on the
earth than all the vainglory which can
be acquired from ravaging it by the most
uninterrupted career of conquests.''
There is certainly very little of the bucolic
in those solemnly labored sentences, and little
that your farmer of today would take to SAVIOR
of the SOIL But whilst Washington wrote in
the periwigged fashion of his time he prob
ably titled as he fought, with the clean,
swift, sweeping strokes of genius. And we
doubt not that he clinks his astral spurs with
delight as he learns of the plan to provide the
returning American soldiers with farms
where they prove to their own content
and to the nations prosperity how goodly a
thing it is to beat swords into plowshares.
