AN ADVERTISEMENT
BV DR.. Frank Crane

The United States of America is the big
gest business concern that is, or ever was, on
the face of the earth.
1t is composed of over hundred million
partners, among whom the average of bust
ness ability and respect for law is higher
than In any other group of people in the
world.
It is not we'll managed, because it is ma.
ton, and no nation is managed well, on ac-
count of the traditional nonsense inherited
from the days of monarchies. Some day ma
lions may be run as business concerns; at
present they are run like college fratern1-
ties women's lcubs.
Butt the United States is better off than
any other nation. It's government is the
most secure because it is the most easily
changed, and the people in it have the final
say so.
More people have little extra money now
than ever before They are buying many
things they don't want. They are investing
millions in wildcat concerns.
If you have any money, it is the purpose
of this advertisement to tell you the best
possible place to invest it.
But the Liberty bonds, Victory bonds or
War Savings stamps of the U. S. A. Some
of you bought them during the war and are
chagrined now to see they have fallen in
market value.
Many are selling them to spend in luxu-
ries Or to invest in private concerns
But r0m6mD THAT Lu6S0 government ST.
curities, though their market value is less
have as much real value as ever.
All that was said during the war about
their absolute security is true today, and al
ways will be true
Their market value is off bit simply be-
cause so many foolish people are selling
them.
A Wall street correspondent says: "The
security back of the Liberty bonds has not
been impaired in the slightest degree, and
if held to maturity there is no question they
will be redeemed at par. Buyers at present
prices are assured of an exceedingly attrac-
tive interest yield. The idea underlying the
issue of all the Liberty bonds was that the
people should purchase them invest
ment rather than as a speculation, and an
investment they are as good today as they
were on the day they were put out"
You can buy these bonds now to net you
a yield of per cent.
If you do not know just what to do with
your money; if you are confused and in
doubt, buy the. U. S. A. securities.
Keep what you have. Do not sell. They
are bound to go up
If we have a panic, these bonds are the
securities that will never be injured
They are the safest securities known
Buy U. S. A securities. Don't sell. Keep
what you have. Some day you will be glad
of it.

The DRAINAGE C0ngresS.

The eighth annual meeting Of the GeOrA
gia Drainage Association will be held in
Macon on June %, at which reports will
be received from practically every county
in the State that has completed drainage
projects during the past year. In Walton
and Newton counties the progressive farm
ers have participated literally in a coop
erative movement to reclaim vast areas of
swamp lands that have been serving no
useful purpose, with the result that hun
dreds of acres that only a few months since
were uncultivatable are now beautiful with
growing grain.
Farmers and others interested in drain
age should visit the Jacks creek drainage
district in Walton some other immense
project that has been prosecuted to com
pletion at a cost less than the profit OF
the crop produced thereon the first year
In every part of Georgia, there are thou
sands of acres of swamp lands in every
county that could be reclaimed and rem
dered arabic, thereby increasing the pro
ductiveness and agricultural Importance of
the State
The principal object Of the Macon meet
ing is to arouse interest in the work OF
drainage and promote the cultivation of
lands that are not being utilized for pas
turage any other profitable purpose.

that this element of American interests, so

inadequacies may prove to be, is at least a
stride in the right direction.

people to appreciate the American joke An
English girl was present when this conundrum
was asked: Glow do you make a Maltese

Finally she said: "Well, of course it's because
I'm English and all that, but really can't see
any similarity between at Maltest cross and a
pullet's tail"

of the United States forbidding man to

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK ON

DOROTHY

various illnesses, and the trouble she
had raising her children, and her
husbands lack of appreciation of her.
and the worries she has had with
servants.
You may never have. thought of
it before, but consider how few and
far between are the jolly, alert, and
alive, middle aged women you know,
how few are interesting and inter-
ested, and good to talk and listen
Now considering that Heaven
doesn't turn out many women who
are understudies to the Venus de
Milo, or her present rival in female
puchritude, the Living skeleton, isn't
it about time that the fair sex real
lied that it is more important to
KEEP their mental figures than their
physical ones?
For the one can be done, and the
other can't. No woman can keep
perpetually young and beautiful, but
any woman can keep herself inter-
esting and an agreeable companion,
And that's what counts after forty.
-. If women would spend as much
time and labor massaging. the kinks
out of their tempers as they do the
wrinkles out of their faces they
would get more results. Nobody
and assuredly no husband-cares
sweet and amiable, and reasonable
has crows feet at the corners of her
eyes or not. Nobody ever knows, be-
cause all they see is the beautiful
soul of her.
Nor does it matter whether a
middle aged woman is a perfect
thirty-siX or an imperfect fifty-six,
if her gown covers heart that is
full of sympathy and love, for all
humanity, and of understanding and
always palled with her husband, who
has known how to make excuses,
when things went wrong, and has
cheered him on in times of discour-
agement, doesn't need to worry over
her belt measure. After all, you
can't really measure life with a
corset string.
Women can keep themselves in
teresting. They can keep out OF
ruts. They can keep cheerful. and
stories. They can read, and travel,
and cultivate an interest in other
people, and when they do, il. does not
make any difference whether they
are fat or thin.
A middle aged woman should be at
the most fascinating time of life
because she is old enough to have
acquired poise; she is old enough to
have a wealth of experience behind
learned to take a humorous instead
of tragic view of most things,
and she is still young enough to
look with interest at the closed door
of the future.
But she is only an agreeable COM
panion if she has kept her mental
figure. The woman who has grown
fat witted is q bore from whom we
all pray heaven to deliver us.

The Folly Of an Embargo on
Highqgay Building.
r N it's cogent and timely protest against

NJ it's cogent and timely protest against
the idea of an embargo on the freight
movement of bodybuilding materials
md machinery, the State Highway Board
If Georgia rightly argues that such step
would aggravate the very trouble 1t pro-
poses to relieve. The more inadequate rail-
road facilities are for the ever-increasing de-
mands of traffic, the more encouragement
here should be to the construction OF high
ways and other adjuvants Of transportation.
The more probable it appears that the car
ciers will be unable to handle the oncoming
crops and at the same time meet other re-
sponsiblites, the more speed there should
be in improving and extending the roads
along which trucks and wagons can roll.
This is the positive remedy for freight con-
gestion and it's consequent ills, whereas the
proposed embargo is at best but negative and
as applied to highway materials actually
destructive.
The problem of distribution is in many
respects now the capital problem in our
economic affairs. Burdensome prices are
attributable in large measure to lack OF
efficient means and methods in getting COM
modities from the producer to the consumer.
The handicaps under which industries
have 1abored in recent years and the embar-
easements with which so many lines of mer-
chandising have had to contend are marked
ly traceable to delays and shortcomings in
distribution. OF late years these deficiencies
have grown until now they are not only
tribulation to business but a menace to
production itself.
The remedy will consist largely, of course,
in improved and amplified means of trans
portation. The railroads should be aided by
every rightful expedient to build up and
build out to the demands of the time. But
they must also be supplemented, especially
at this critical juncture, by increased high
way service It is greatly to be hoped, there
fore, that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will give no countenance to the
petition for embargo bodybuilding
materials and machinery, embargo which
if granted would stop vast amount of
urgently needed construction and injure the
country's vital interests.

1t is that which takes the bloom off

No wonder, then, that women hate

and there is a reason. His attack ISM sur
prising in the circumstances. IL lenos' lor
one thing, the necessary color to the pre-
convention settings. The Democratic Ma
tional convention wouldn't be regular IL
Mr.. Bryan were not storm center.
Mr. Wick INDUCED in a lot OF uncom-
plimentary language concerning MI. Bryan
saying among other things:-'Wlll1am Jen-
nings Bryan in 1920 is the same destruc-
tive force, with much lessened accent on
the word force that he has always been.
No party has ever been cursed with
self-seeker of his peculiar and ingenious
fanaticisms. That personal profit and
aggrandizement are always paramount
should be obvious to the most uninitiated
To those of us who really know him, that
he has any legitimate following is sad
commentary upon human intelligence"
The Washington Star cautions Mr.. Wick
about the intemperateness of his language
and reminds him that certain other Gov
ernor of New Jersey, on a memorable and
momentus occasion at Baltimore, found the
services of Mr.. Bryan anything but ode
structive." The Star remarks, also, that Mr..
Wick has underestimate the strength Of
Mr.. Bryan's following, and assures him
that it is both considerable and remark
able" considering that it has never been
fed or nourished by federal patronage.
Mr.. Wick is a fine gentleman and loyal
friend, but in his attack on Mr.. Bryan his
partisan zeal got the better of his political
judgment. In this connection, the Star we'll
remarks:
eff Mr. Vicks line is the line of attack

stroy the Democratic party in 1896. When
he took it over it was a wreck. 60.
MT. Bryan built the party up again, but was
never able under his own name to land it
a winner"
The Star is correct concerning the cam
paign of 1896. Mr.. Bryan did not wreck
the Democratic party, and the persons who
today are loudest in their condemnation of
him for his failure to win in 1896 and sub
sequently are the ones who did their utmost
to prevent his success.

the Democratic convention at San Francis
