LOVELY WOMAN SOON TO APPEAR
in BEAUTIFUL COAT OF VARNISH

London, Dec, 1S.-Women may
soon, with perfect composure and
propriety, dress themselves entirely
in varnish, from the crown of the hat
to the sole of the shoe. The varnish is
Opaque, but it is varnish none the less
and as clear as glass if rolled into a
thin film.
In its liquid days this dress materi-
al was called dope" and was used
to protect aeroplane wings from fire
and water. Now it is being spun and
woven for ladies' dresses.
The only difference between a film
of dope, sheet of cellulose and a
skein of "silk" is that the first in laid
on with a brush, the second pressed
out on a plate and the third forced
through a tiny hole.
Among hundreds Of other things

BANK PROVIDES
PENSION MONEY

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Willis
Pope, cashier of the National Bank
of Commerce, his bank is handling
the pension warrants for the old con-
federate Veterans of the county, who
have had to do without their pension
allowance for more than a month on
account Of the depletion of the State
treasury.
These warrants were issued Nov
ember /, and as no funds were avail
able for their payment the Veterans
have had to go along without their
money.
The National Bank Of Commerce
has agreed to cash the warrants and
hold them until State funds are avail
able.
The pension fund in Lowndes coun-
ty amounts to around $1,000 and this
money is now available for the use
Of the beneficiaries through the
courtesy Of the National Bank OF
Commerce.
Official notice of the arrangement
has been given by Chaneery Clerk
John J. Richards.

X Anti Poverty Gardens =


During the recent world war, in
whose throes We are still struggling,
there went out from Governmental
headquarters at Washington, propa-
ganda followed by a request, the APP
peal reaching our citizolns almost to
a man. This request, appeal, man
date, or what ever you choose to
call it, was, that each and every citi-
zen plant a war Garden" The same
economic condition that stared US in
the face at that time again obtains,
"Food for the Masses" why not meet
it with "Anti Poverty Gardens?"
The results of this propaganda
were indeed beneficial, and further
more it was remunerative to each in
dividual responding, and make bold
at this time when the same spirit of
unrest and doubt as to the future con-
fronts US, to suggest that those in
authority, once more call upon the
citizens of our sorely perturbed Ma
tion, to begin "now' evul before the
Christmas holidays to once again don
the overalls, grab the spade and hoe
and sally forth with the coming of
Spring to do battle with foe equally
as deadly and far reaching in it's
baneful effects-"Oid Hard Times"
Unless the handwriting ca the wall
is being misread by our ablest minds
and brightest financiers, the year
nineteen hundred and twenty one,
will demand reckoning from each
individual resident Of our country
that has reached the age of accounta-
biity. With such prognosis, with
whom even the casual thinker can but
agree, we will be no better than the
bolshevic, the red, the anarchist, and
all other Of like ilk, if We sit supinely
by and let the avalanche come upon
us.
ForeWarned is forearmed, and
while it may be regarded as trite
and hackneyed saying, it nevertheless
applies, and applies pertinently to
the American people at this time, for
a full larder" and a satisfied bread
basket is great stabilizer regardless
of conditions.
There is no use to enlarge en- our
deplorable condition here in the
Southland, where, despite efforts to
the contrary, Cotton is still King
nor is it wise to wait for corn and po-
tatoes and peas, when, with our
splendid climate, we can be realizing
from our fertile soil, IN garden pro-
ducts, almost enough to satisfy the
cravings of the inner man.
This will be the policy and plan

CHRISTMAS BRINGS
THOUGHTS OF HOME
To COlumbians Who Have Gone Out
Into The World And Who Are
Away This Christmas.

AT the Christmas time thoughts of
nearly everybody in the world turn to
home, and for people who have no
home the Yuletide is sad occasion.
All over this great country of ours
Columbians are thinking of home at
this season of the year; their
thoughts are turning to the loved
ones and friends back IN the home
town, and as Christmas approaches
they are thinking more and more of
home. vs~.
This little story will be read by
hundreds of Columbians out in the
world, away from home and the
friends of the days that are gone.
The Dispatch is a welcome visitor in
the homes of these former Column
bians. We often get letters of APP
probation, telling us how much the
paper is valued with its town news
and the news of the country.
In the new year we are going to
publish lot of these letters and we
shall be glad to receive them from
Columbians who have moved to other
sections of the country. News from
them through the columns of the
Dispatch will be appreciated by the
people back home who are always
interested in the careers and ambi-
ticns of homefolks where ever they
may be.
So, soon after the New Year the
Dispatch will begin publishing letters
from former Columbians, and it will
be an interesting feature. 1t will
have to be maintained, however, by
the folks away from home.
They are all over this great country
Of ours; from California to Maine ard
from the Great Lakes to the Panama
Canal, and there are scores and
scores of them abroad, some with the
Army of Occupation in Germany, 9TH
ers in France and England and in the
Island possessions and there are still
others in even more remote foreign
lands. News from all of them will
be welcomed
Those who are away from home
this Christmas, in the Year of Our
Lord Nineteen Hundred and Twenty,
We extend Christmas greetings and
well wishes from the folks back home.
