There is, of course, a slackening in the reckless spending such as we have witnessed everywhere in the past two years, but little, if any reduction of real business,'' he says. Through out the South there is evidence that the lethargy which marked business from the Civil war until only few years ago has now been thrown off for good and all and in its place is business of tho most aggressive kind, built on firm foundation, though without ostentatious show. They are a conservative people-in a country of unlimited possibilities-not carried by the fact that they have accumulated more money than they ever expected into an orgy of spending it upon luxuries.
 ''However, they are ready to buy and are buying those things which will make them more money and they are willing to spend money or anything which helps them to build their busi- ness. Many new fortunes have re- gently been made in cotton, tobacco and other products of the South and Southeast Prosperity is general and modern farm equipment that would have been unbelievable decade ago is the rule rather than the exception today.
 Motor trucks are being bought to- day by people who a few years ago never dreamed of buying trucks; auto mobiles, all of the medium and higR priced models are being generally bought Cotton, lumber and tobacco has been doing for the different sec tions of the South today what oil has done for Oklahoma and Texas, though, perhaps not on quite so large a scale.

sfied to eke out a doubtful living, to the landed Southern aristocrat. all are buying motor trucks and automobiles. They are coming into their own and now that the way has been pointed out to them, they are eager to possess mechanical equipment that will enable them to produce more than they ever dreamed possible. The same condi- tions exist throughout the live, bust ling Southern cities which one finds every few miles along the way. The modern buildings, big manufacturing enterprises and up to date retail stores which now characterize these towns would be a revelation to one who knew Cnly the old South.
 "There is a new awakening south of Mason and Dixon's line. Improved transportation is one of the greatest recognized needs. Increased produc- tion on farms has made the motor truck necessary and the motor truck, in turn, has further increased produc- tion. Now much attention is being given to good roads to take the place of mere trails that were once veritable quagmires. The man who left the South ten years ago and thinks he knows it should go back today. Like wise, those who go today and think they know it should go back a few years hence. for I believe the next decade will bring even greater achieve ments than the past ten years have done"

TELLS INTERESTING
 STORY IF FRANKLIN
 PURCHASED IN 1878

C. E. Baze of Globe is one of the most ardent supporters of the Frank lin car and considers it the most eco- nomical car on the market. He has owned and driven several different makes. costing more money than the Franklin, but claims that the Franklin cannot be equalled and is now start ing on a trip to Oregon and Washing ton. on which he expects to cover about 6,00O miles before he returns in October. MT. Baze has just pur- chased a new 1920 Franklin with which he will make this trip and thinks he will make far better records with than he did with his old Franklin which he purchased in 1916.
 In a letter to Chilson Bros local distributors for the Franklin car, he tells some interesting facts in connec- tion with the first Franklin purchased by him in 1916. He says: "In 1916 I purchased my first Franklin car which is still running today and is in fine shape. At the present time it has been driven 93,0OO miles and I have kept close tabs on the expenses in the last four years and have had excel lent service as shown in the follow ing figures:
 Tn four years I have expended for parts, S61.20. The valves were ground three times. each time costing me $11 for the grinding. I get from 1000 to 1200 miles to the gallon of oil and from p to 30 miles to the gallon of gasoline. I have averaged from 15,000 to 5000 miles per set of tires. As far as heating is concerned, I have driven my car through Arizona and New Mexico for the last four years, through deep sand and hard pulling and it has never heated with me. Most of the stories told about heating in a Franklin are absolutely untrue"

DEAR ELIZABETH LATrIMEl

Here are several "msde-over' ideas
. which came as inspirations TO me and
i have proven their worth by the amount
:. they saved me.
My boy OF two needed a dark coat
or general use. his only coat being OF
cream serge was not practical for every

nd was more than enough for straight,
e double breasted coat Looking through
. the ragbag ] found a tan silk messallne
lining from a spring coat OF six years
ago. After washing II Il was rather
light in color, so I dipped II in strong
rca, thus making Ii darker and more
Z serviceable shade, also found piece
OF canton flannel large enough to inter-
line the coat to the waistline. In the
button bag were brown horn buttons TO
! add a smart touch. This coat cost me
nothing but the time, and ! consider 1t
-Four winters ago I had a suit with

T o wear under the narrow frocks
and suits OF the winter one
. finds the new silk pettibock-
er most comfortable. Pettibockers,
10 matter how scant they are
fashioned, have an annoying way OF
punching up in the front, and for
this reason bloomers have taken
their place. The new pettibockers
are. really ankle-length bloomers,
but when worn they resemble a
petticoat.
when you don that black velvet
clinging gown try wearing black
silk pettibockers. A stunning pair
for this purpose may be purchased
for 81 in the shops. The Jersey
silk extends to the ankles and is
met there by frill of satin closely
pleated. Very warm, toos are these.
This model is also shown in taupe,
navy. brown. wine, and purple.
Among the materials one finds
satin, crepe de chine, jersey, crepe
de meteor, and taffeta.
II you want to make pcttibockers
at home, you can buy small satin
frills already pleated and just ready
TO use. Perhaps you have an old
satin gown from last year that you
can re-cut into the long bloomers
For sports wear there are smart
petticoats fashioned from wooden

~ Y DEAR YOUTHFUL FRIEND
lVI What is your thing of
rarest beauty, the finest
piece of natural or creative art
that might be placed before your
attention? Is is a choice painting?
Well. suppose some one. while you
stand admiring, should mar its
beauty with a blotch of ink. Is IL
Il classic musical creation? Sup
pose its harmonies were abruptly
shattered by the loud humping Of
q jazz band. Is 1t gorgeous
mountain scene, beheld from your
window? Suppose its view were
blurred or suddenly obscured by the
erection of an ugly building. Would
not your very soul cry out against
this disturbance of it's ecstasy?
Well, my Young Friend, you are
my thing of rarest beauty. 1 see

all the fipeness of the painters art
all the rhapsodies of the musical
symphony, all the magical tracings
Of the mountain landscape. But

genius ! want to rebuke you; and
when you throw away your oppor-
tunity to become a superb personal
ity. l feel like shouting my disap-

why do you disappoint? why do
you fail to appreciate your own in
herent beauty? Why do you not
understand that Heaven fashioned
You out of piece of divinity and
go coursgeously forward to the
III - hat -
destiny for which you were thus
consecrated? Why have anything
to do with meanness or selfishness?
Why waste your precious time and
talents in dissipation? Why de-
bauch your powerful brain with
drink or drugs? why content your
self with being pigmy when you
are potentially a giant?
Whether you are a carpenter or q
cartoonist- a plumber or a pianist,
a bricklayer or a banker--1 have
tried on other occasions to tell you
how to realize the fneness in your
nature. l have urged you to strive
to be superb among your class and

To study hard: to work diligent-
ly; to read good books: to advance
by inches; to quickly arise IL you
fall: to pray fervently for divine
guidance; to seek advice from the
wisest in your profession; to learn
to be content with little until you
get more; to find the hidden beauty
beneath the ugly surface of things;
TO learn to praise and admire every
struggling comrsde about you; to
love little children and tenderly re-
gard every mother; to give praise
for your greatest earthly blessing,
good health: to thank God for the
light which he continues to shed
upon your path
Thus you may keep unsullied the
charm in your life. Wherefore, my
youthful friend, quit robbing the
owner of It's beauty, which Is you IN
process OF normal and happy un-
foldment.
