An Advertising Jingle
There was an old geezer,
And he had a let of sense.
He started up business
On dollar eighty cents.
The dollar was for stock
And eighty for an az.
Brought him three lovely dollars
In day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods
And little more space,
And he played that system
With smile on his face.
The customers fiocked
To has two by four
And soon he had to hustle
For a regular store.
Up on the square
Where the people pass,
He gobbled up corner
That was all plate glass.
He fixed up the windows
With the best he had
And told them all about it
In a half-page ad.
He soon had 'em coming
And never, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down
On his ads one bit.
And he's kept things humming
In the town ever since
And everybody calls him
The Merchant Prince.
Some say it's luck
But that's all bunk
Why, he was doing business
When the times were punk!
People have to purchase
And the geezer was wise
For he knew the way to get 'em
Was to advertise. Adapted.

The Grace of God.


written especially for the Ban
ner-News by Robert HAZEL, Phi. d.
To my mind, Motherhood is the
most perfect symbol Of divine love.
If . child were to ask Of a Mo
ther, Why are you so kind to me?
Why do you love me so constantly and
tenderly and out of all proportion to
anything that deserve? What
makes you 30 patient when am 80
obstinate, 30 persistently loving when
| am so thoughtless and apparently
so thankless, so gracious when / am
30 rude? the answer would be very
simple one:
Because you are my child and love
is my prerogativaS The sadred
element in mother-love is its mag.
naminity. Through long years it
never tires. Waywardness cannot
discourage it; forgetfulness cannot
quench it; insult does not lessen it;
misfortune only strengthens it. 1t
tolls, it suffers, it forgives, it fights,
it Nconquers, it is defeated, it tri-
umphs.
Through all changes and vicissi-
tudes it remains the same constant,
loyal, magnanimous, victorious love.
No Mother doles out her affection,
exacts measure for measure or love
automatically. "And now abideth
Faith, Hope, Love, these three and
the greatest of these il Love-" This
must surely be 90, for Love il the
very soul Of Goodness, Faith, Hope
and every attribute and idea that
could be named. Love 10 the great
White Light Of Life, holding in its
wondrous rays all shades, tones and
colors.
1t il one great joy to know that
man aspires. Man il destined to be
saved and ID doomed to want to be
saved IN a noble and glorious way.
Man il ever aspiring for something
better.

Bachache is usually kidney ney-ache and makes you dull, nervous and tired. Use Doan's Kidney Pills for weak kidneys the remedy recommended by your friends and neighbors.
 Mrs. P. w. Terrence, says: "The first symptom of kidney trouble in my case was back ache. I had a terrible dull pain in my kidneys constantly. 1 had awful dizzy spells and black specks appeared before my eyes. My head ached terribly at times and my kidneys dis tressed me by the way they acted. Two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills cured my back and regulated my kidneys. I think the world of DOan's."

THE SENATE AND SUFFRAGE

1t is old adage that you always trust the
legislature to commit rash act during exery session
and the Georgia appears to have made good the
adage for this year when yesterday voted against
ification of the federal suffrage amendment by sub
stantal majority.
Not that failing to vote for ratification was the un
wise act-although in opinion it would have been
the correct and just thing dobu it would have been
such easy, such a simple matter to have postponed
action for another year, without Haunting the red
shawl in front of the wildly acting bull of sectional
publicansm as this action does. AS Chairman Homer
Cummings, of the national democratic committee point
ed out to the Legislative joint committee through the
Georgia member Of the committe Clark Howell ratfi-
cation by the states possibly become effective
before the fall of 1920 after the next session of the
Georgia legislature meets and it is possible solu
ton of the matter might be arrived before that time
other than the chosen by the Georgia senate It
could do possible harm to wait, but may do the
national party incacuabe harm not to wait
Whether Georgia and the south want it or not ma
tional suffrage is coming; enough states will
ratfy it, and they'll not all be northern either,
to make it accomplished fact And it it would
be the part of wisdom and self interest say nothing
of being right in the matter, for Georgia to vote with
the rest of the progressive states Let's forget the color
question The Anthony amendment contains provs-
ion not embodied in the 18th amendment.
And why all this buster about the invasion of
states rghts To be the democratic party has been
the party of states rights. But Georgia of the
first states to ratfy the national prohibition amend
ment, in which the states right bogy forgotten
The Georgia legislature, instead of shouting to the
world that this state is less progressive in thought and
action than of the other states of the unon should
at least "soft peda' for the present, and give next
years legislature opportunity to interpret the thought
of Georgia it may be then, this question: when the
trend of the thought of the nation will have become
apparent here.

THE PRESIDENTS RETURN

The return of President Wilson yesterday, and that
typical Wilson heart-toheart talA--it hardly a
speech-made in New York. brings to mind wonder
full tribute to the presidents powers appearing in the
last number of Golfers Weekly Although often un-
kind to the South which it understands SO ttle al
though it tries hard enough this publication is usually
refreshing in its editorial pages and the following gives
a glimpse of the president from different angle:
Zone of the fine satisfactons of life is the recoec-
ton of great artist his prime 1t makes little diff
ference whether the performer statesman an
actor, military hero a singer. In the days of our
childhood the old people kndled the joy of living
with the memory of public performances of which they
