j. S. OFFERS 900
Jobs TO YANKS

For the guidance of disabled SOL
dlers. sailors, and marines, who on
leaving the service do not know
where to go fer a job, the Federal
Board for Vocational Education has
had a paper prepared setting forth
what the Government has done in
enacting legislation 30 make civil
service employment for the disabled
man easy.
This Booklet, prepared by Herbert
e. Morgan, OF the Civil Service Com
mission, lists more than 900 occupa-
lions under the civil service, giving
the rate Of salary Of each. It may
be obtained at any army or naval
camp or station, at any army or naval
hospital, or any district office OF the
civil service.
1t emphasizes the fact that many
OFFICES under the Government are
doing special work in the interest of
the discharged soldier or sailor
whether he be disabled or not, and
tells just what has been done, and
how the man may receive the benefit
of the opportunities offered.
The commission states that MANY
men, not being familiar with the OBJ
portunities presented to ex-service
men. do not avail themselves of
these, when a knowledge of the nos
sibilities offered would change the
whole course OF their lives.

StNdying FOREIGN Trade.

The. foreign trade study class spon-
sOred by the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce and assured Of liberal aid from the
national department of commerce, af-
fOrds q rarely valuable opportunity for
Young men having an aptitude for bus
mess diplomacy. These courses of study,
dealing with the fundamentals and tech
nique of foreign trade will bear particu-
larly upon that rich field for ambitious
and rightly trained effOrt--Latin Amer
lea. Mr.. Robert S. Barrett. the skilled and
experienced commercial attache of the
United States embassy at BuenOs Aires,
pointed out in recent address which
prompted the organization Of the study
class that last year this country exported
to Latln America six hundred million
dollars worth Of goods. And he asked his
audience the practical question:: "Will
Atlanta take some part in this golden
trade t... .. .".... III
Certain it is that cities which do not
see this gOOdly chance and do not be-
STIR themselves to graSping it will lose
grlevously in future wealth and prestige
Facilities for developing Pan-American
trade are increasing at a rate and with an
efficiency which forecast unexampled
growth in that sphere of commerce. 1t
will not be long, thanks to our war-pro-
dduced merchant marine, before ample
bLr IT. sa "a ana mail steamship service will
be established between the United States
and Latin American ports. Shortly, too
the branches which our leading banking
houses have been instituting in South
America and the financial accommodate
tons which they are preparing more and
more freely, to extend will constitute a
we'll rounded and exceedingly helpful sys-
tenn. Thus two of the great essentials
which we heretofore have lacked in for
elgn business endeavOrs will be supplied
In the trade quickening and expansion
which are certain to ensue, southern
merchants and manufacturers will have
peculiarly fertile opportunities, owing to
ad1Vantageousness of their geographic po-
Ethey can supply. To make the most of
such opportunities requires, however, as
MI. Barrett emphasized, knowledge of
the principles of foreign trade in general
and of Latin American trade in particu-
lar. Hence the time lines and value of the
study class to be organized in Atlanta.

Tidewatey for SqOitserland.

1t is gratifying to note that the American
delegates to the peace conference are SUD-
porting the claims Of Switzerland for access
to the sea via the Rhine. It is to be honed
that the treaty makers will recognize the JUS
t1ce OF these claims and that the convention
will make adequate provision to insure water
transportation to the seaboard of the noun
tain republic.
Switzerland already enjoys free transit to
the Mediterranean, by rail-a concession
granted by France. But the railroad facili-
ties or Europe are none too good at best and
just now they are badly crippled as a result of
the war and Switzerland requests in all fair
ness that she be given a waterway to the sea-
The river Rhine is navigabIe to Basel. and
affords an excellent means of transportation
to tideWater.. The Swiss urge the estab-
lshment and maintenance of free navigation
on the waters of this river. They oppose the
construction of locks or dams on the water
way, since they would interfere with unre-
stricted navigation, and on the same princi-
pie they object to the establishment of mill
tary works along the stream.
The case of Switzerland as presented to
the peace delegates recites, in part
European railways, most of which
ere burdened by an enormous debt, will
not be able to transport the heavy mer-
chandise, raw materials, food products
and all the rest which are indispensable
to the life of inland countries and to
their international commerce, unless they
raise their rates. The consequence of
this will be that the inferiority of inland
countries to countries with access to the
will be aggravated-in spite of the
right of free international transit by rail
which we ask to have recognized. 1t
has become Indispensable to future peace
that legal rights should be given to in
ternational navigable ways-under the
control of the League of Nations
The justice of the Swiss claims are under
stood to have IMPRESSED the American dele
gates at Paris and they are advocating
strongly the recognition of the inland repub-
lies rights in this connection. There seems
to be good reason why the Swiss should
be denied participation in the navigation of
this great waterway of central Europe.

his vacation at home. ,,, -.-.

"Self Determination y
In Georgia.

There are great many people in Mont
gomery and ToOmbs counties who favor the
merging of the two counties into one," &C,
cording to the Vidalia Advance, which re
marks further that this is by no means {
bad idea. Commenting upon the report il
the Vidalia paper, the Montgomery Monitor
says amen, and adds that there is no reason
why the general assembly Of Georgia should
not give the people of this section anything
they may ask of a constructive nature"
1t would seem from the opinion of the Vi
dalia paper that the Lew county business has
been somewhat overdCne in Georgia, and tina
some of the people who were so eager fol
new counties have about decided they were
mistaken.
The Montgomery Monitor evidently be
lieves in the right of self determination fol
the people of Georgia, and, discussing the re-
port of the possible ~eurion of Toombs and
Montgomery counties remarks with en-
phasis:
Former assemblies have divided up
this territory and parceIed it out.
Whether future assemblies will operate
thus, we cannot surmise, and just what
the people of Montgomery and Toombs
counties want we may not conjecture;
but after preaching construction to these
people for sixteen years, we cannot at
this late day renounce any measure of
a constructive or progressive trend.
at is possible that the people Of this
section may yet find territorial adjust
ment to their satisfaction, and should
they so find, then The same authority
which has torn them asunder should
certainly be ready Ind willing to reunite
them. In order to maintain oui we'll
known position, Notwithstanding the will
of many to the contrary, we again submit
the idea that large counties are more
progressive, therefore, if it takes two
counties to make up four fiv~ then
make them up, accol ding to the demands
and the will Of the people. We
had hoped to see Montgomery alb
sorb several Of the adjoining little
counties, and again come into her own,
but if the suction Oh the other end of
the line suits the people, then put on
the steam and open the foot valves
So far as The Journal is informed there
is no crying demand at this time for the
creation of any additional new counties in
Georgia. We regard this as distinctly en-
and leads us to hope that the ap-
preaching session of the legislature may de-
vote its attention to more pressing matters
of the State.

Thrift is simply the application of intel
igence to expenditure.
1t does not mean only saving 1t does
not cOnnote skimping and penny pnching,
niggardliness and miserliness. This is often
the most foolish kind of waste, waste of
health, of spirits and of the joy of life.
Thrift means intelligent spending
To spend dollar now may save you two
dollars next month.
Thrift implies a budget If you have no
wise plan, it makes little difference how
much you make. What is the use of forg-
ing ahead when you don't know your des-
tinatiOn?
Some busy money-makers might sing,
with Mr.. Dooley, eve don't know where
we're going, but we're on our way"
Thrift implies foresight. 1t means we
can see tomorrow as well as today.
1t is the opposite of childishness. The
child can grasp only what is before him.
He cannot realize the future, He wants
what he wants when he wants it," If he
had no older heads to think for him he
would, like the grasshopper, dance all sum-
mer and starve all winter.
The savage eats when he finds meat. He
gorges and sleeps, and between times
starves The civilized man lays up. In
abundance he prepares against famine. He
builds barns and warehouses.
Thrift implies self-control. We mas
Thrift implies self-respect. We do not
wish to become burden upon others. Hence
we lay up something for our lean days.
Thrift means decency. The decent pOr-
ton of the race accept their due RESPONSE
bilities, carry their share of the burdens,
justify their existence by cheerfully doing
their part of the worlds work. The indecent
are content to let others work for them.
They are parasites, vermin. They are like
the chatf which the wind bloweth away And
when they are gone they hardly missed.
1t is thrift that creates capital. And cap
ital represents the difference between civli-
zation and barbarism. Where there is no
capital there is no progress. The intelligent
and industrious laborer does not despise cap
ital; he becomes a capitalist.
Is not that what labor is contending for?
Enough wages to lay by something?
Capital itself is dissipated without thrift.
1t wears out like moth-eaten garment No
fortune, however great, can endure unless
it is continually passing through the hands
of thrift.
The wealth of nation is not of gold
and silver. nor fertile soil. 1t consists in
blossom, while the lazy and idle would
starve in the midst of plenty
Thrift means patriotism.
Thrift means love of family.
Thrift means you are not a bOunder, a
sponge Or nuisance.
Thrift means using your strength to pro-
tect your weakness, your health to take care
of your sickness, your fortune to provide
against your misfortune.
Thrift means you are not ashamed Of
your past; you are content with your
present; and you are unafraid Of your flu
ture

well-Worn but ever-important truth is
telingly stated by the Savannah Morning
News when it says OF the roads leading to
town or city:
eff they are sand beds or mud pud-
dies, everybody is 'l-ected, even if he
cannot realize it. The merchant is af-
fected because such roads cut down the
number of his possible customers; and
reduced number Of customers means re-
duced EMPLOYMENT Factories feel the
influence because the number Of persons
and the number of opportunities to sell
their goods is reduced by bad rO2ds, as
compared with good ores. And reduced
opportunities to sell mean less employ
ment, less investment, less opportunity
to expand"
Likewise the broadly abdul influence Of
good roads is certain to touch every province
of the community's life The interests of
home, church and school, no less than of fac
strengthened by well built and we'll kept
highways. Georgians have reason indeed to
feel encouraged, therefore, as they see coun-
ty after county in their State voting sub

the best roads which ample means and en-
cheering skill produce. 1t is wonder
fully cheering omen Or the Commonwealth,
because from these Improvements all fields
of economic and social interest will derive
