for seven years head of that great party yesterday
publicly rejoced in the election of republican
governor over democrat The massage was sent
to Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts,, whose
defeat of Richard H. Long was commented upon
in these columns yesterday.
The President has a way of doing and say
ing big things. In congratulating man of the OPP
posing party on a victory at the polls the Presi-
dent has done heretofore unheard-of thing, that
may shock the sensibilities of many of the old
school politicians. Buth is message rang true with
Americanism. And it voiced the sentiment Of
thousands of people, who saw in the triumph Of
Coolidge who had the courage to combat the Bos

the mass of the people speak.
Radicals of all varieties may take warning

THE MOTHER OF SUMTER COUNTY"

You read that expression the other day in a
front page statement by the Red Cross committee
Intended to inform the people of the community
of some of the plans Of the Red Cross for the flu
Eme.
The Red Cross went to war, and the Red
Cross has come home. 1t has come home to you
and to me-to all of U.S. 1t has come home to
Sumter county-to minister to the wants and
needs of the nearly 1000 of our boys who went
away to war and came back again and to their
families, many of whom are greatly in need of its
help.
1t is the plan of the Sumter county chapter
of the Red Cross to install resident nurse here
as soon as possible And it is planned that this
nurse shall be one who will be able to give real
help to those in need. Not only will she be a
graduate nurse and skilled in matters of health
and hygiene but she will be woman of wide
experience and sympathes with knowledge of
she art of healing broken hearts and hopes bring
ing back to life dead or dying ambitions, and
practiced in the wizardry of turning night into
light for those to whom darkness has come where
day should abound
That is one of the things for which your
money and my money, being collected this week
FOR the Red Cross will be spent. And can you
imagine a better destination for your dollar2fl
If you haven't become member of this great
humanitarian order, don't let the sun go down
upon your head until you have joined. The pleas
ant dreams your act will bring will be worth the
dollar

THE PLAYGROUND.

A soft spot in the hearts of the parents of
Americas was touched yesterday by the announce
ment of the movement for a public playground
being put under way by the various clubs of the
city. And the hearts Of his hearers at the play
ground conference yesterday morning were touch
ed by Superintendent Mathis when he told of the
death of the little boy playing the streets of
Americas because he had no other place to play,
and how neither he not the driver at fault but
fhe city was both morally and legally liable, he
said he believed.
The welfare of the children, and their proper
training is of first Importance to the welfare of the
race. We may provide the best of schools, and
ahe most thoroughly equipped teachers, but men
til and moral training will not supply the physical
needs And that is the purpose of the p layground.
1t is one of the chief purposes of the play
gzound to teach the individual how really TO play.
How many of US grown-ups know how to play?
If we have ever really known, we would not have
forgotten 50 completely by this time,

GERMANY INvADEs BRITAIN.

A recent investigation made in Great Britain
dscloses the fact that German-made goods of
many varieties are being sold but disguised
that the purchasers are unable to recognize their
origin 1t is said that without exception, these
shopkeepers pleaded that publicity would ruin
them, since the public is still nursing its hatred of
Germany and everything German and, if it were
known that German goods are on sale, the shops
would be stormed and wrecked by angry mobs.
Still temptey by the extremely low prices offered
by the Germans, these shopkeepers are purchasing
German toys cutlery and other goods in consid-
cradle quantities and selling them to the unsus-
pecting British public.
The report states that, in order to conceal
their origin the goods usually marked Made
in Britain.

inches in thickness and here in Gods country the
husky and health potato has little idea of stopping

FARM AND CITY.

THE. hours of night bring calm rePose upon the
quiet farm; the weary husbandman there
knows sweet slumber's fullest charm Re-
freshed in spirit, brain and Drawn, he rises
wearing bells when dippy roosters greet the
dawn with idiotic yells How different it is
in town. where weary people weep; in vain the
laborer lies down to have a slice of sleep. The
streets are full of strident noise that jars the
nightly shades, and giddy girls and buoyant
BOYS sing ragtime serenades. And batty speed
sters whiz along in whanging motor cars, and
greet with yells and rbald song the pale dis
gusted stars Belated plugs, with noisy hoofs, to
stables gallivant and vagrant cats on metal
roofs attempt bughouse chant. And so the
man who needs his sleep becomes a CHASTITY
wreck; and in the morn he cannot keep from
muttering BY heckl' A night of sleep would
soothe his soul, and heal lifes sores and stings,
but morning finds him in the hole, and he ex-

way. Nelson finished the first nine
with a margin Of two holes but Bar
nekov came back strongly and made
it all even for the eighteen. In play
ing the extra holes they halved the
nineteenth and on the twentieth
Nelson's hopes were high when he
got a fine long drive from the tee
Alas for John, the drive was too
long. for he did not succeed in find
