CARTERSVILLE
LIKES MANAGER
PLAN FOR CITY
FAITH

J. S. Calhoun, of Gainesville, is
perhaps the leading business man of
his community In addition to be-
ing president of the First National
Bank, he is interested in practically
every leading industry in his city
Mr.. Calhoun naturally has always
taken a deep interest in those af-
fairs which concern the welfare of
Gainesville, and is close student
of community problems. He took
a leading part in the successful cam
paign to have Gainesville adopt the
Commission-Manag form of city
government, and now after several
years of observation of the work
ings of the new plan here is what
he thinks of it, as expressed in a
very recent letter to an Americas
citizen:
"The results of our trial of the
Commission-Manag plan of city
government, as compared to the old
mayor-alderman plan, show undoubt-
much to be desired. A few of the
main points:
eliminates small town politics.
"Puts the management and re-
sponsibility on a few good business
men-men who are successful with
their own business.
"Conscript the best business men
for your commissioners and make
them serve.
Secure the best man-at good
salary-for the manager, and hold
him responsible for results.
''Puts your town affairs on a bust
ness basis. and good credit is the
result.
Eliminates ward politics, and will
result in more combined effort on
part of entire carbohydrates
them pull together better.
TThe results here have been so
satisfactory, that do not think any
one here-unless it is the small poll
tician-would be willing to go back
to the old form. Yours very
truly,

ADVENTURES
or THE TWINS
b. Olive Roberts Bsrtoo
NIcK's B usY DAY.

When everything was ready and it
was time for the Meadow Grove
folks to start to the picnic grounds
under the willow tree beside Lily
Pond, Mr.. Scribble Scratch, the fai-
ryman schoolmaster, sent Nick
around with Tug Turtle and his day
dy to collect baskets, and Nancy
went ahead to set tables and get
everything ready so-there wouldn't
be any time lost after they all got
there. There were to be games and
races and prizes, and everything
to make the day as happy as pos
sible.
Nick climbed trees in twinkling,
with his magical Green Shoes, and
got the baskets belonging to Mrs.
Chick Chicaree, Mrs. Owl, Mrs.
Squirrel, Mrs. Bill Blackbird (who
hadn't packed to go south yeti, Mrs.
Thousand Logger, and all the 9TH
ers.
He was a wonder at it. He'd get
basket, slide down the tree, set
it on Tugs broad back, and go up
after another After he'd got all
the baskets from Maple-tree Flats,
and Old Oak Apartments, and all the
other overhead dwellings, he knock
ed at Mrs. Woodchuck's door, and
Mrs. Bunny's, Mrs. Mink's and all
the others who lived underground.
Mr.. forty Turtle and his son, Tug,
said they thought they'd start in the

express business, they were so load
ed down with bundles and baskets
and things.
When everything was collected
Nick scampered on ahead to help
Nancy, and left the turtles to take
their own time, which was an un-
wise thing to do, because you know
how very unreliable turtles are. If
| wished to send my marketing home
for IL o'clock lunch, I'd never de-
pend upon a turtle, should you?
But anyway, Nick went on ahead,
because the Offers had told him they
had sliding board which the pick
nickers could use if they would put
some slippery mud on it. Nick knew
where there was a lot of perfect
ly lovely mud and off he skiddadled
to get some.

You cannot expect to forge ahead in life
with plenty of energy and power if your
blood is thin and watery any more than you
can hope to run an automobile on water
instead of gasOlene. II takes pure, red blood
rich in iron-to keep the human machine
working right. Without iron your every
action lacks power, your red blood cOrpuscles
die by millions, the strength goes from your
body and you drop among the weakIings
and failures.
But when such men and women supply
the right kind of iron to their blood, most
surprising change often takes place" says
DR.. John J. Van Horne, formerly Medical
Inspector and Clinical Physician on the Board
Of Health of New York City. The weak
cOlorless blood which has been moving slug
gishly in the veins becomes rich and red and
courses through the body, building healthy
tissue, giving renewed force and increased
strength. Without this rich, red blood with
plenty of iron in it, there can be no physical
perfection or force to carry on ones work.
Yet to take the wrong kind of iron may prove
worse than useless Just as the wrong sort of
food will often fail TO give the proper nour-
ishment. Organic iron-NuXated irop-by

Mccoy, chairman of the Illinois schools committee, and Olive M. Jones, president of the New York Principals association.
 There is fgreat and growing de- terioration in public education" caused by a tremendous loss of trained teachers and great lowering in the standards of quality of incoming teachers" the petition stated.
 "The basis of the cause of these con- ditions, which threaten the efficiency of education, Is the deficiency in edu- cational funds. The failure to pay teachers adequate wages is a national sin. long confessed. but unatoned for
 Tt will take years to man the schools even as they were in 1914 We cannot afford to wait for the public to become sufficiently alarmed to act" The average yearly salary of the teacher in 1919 was ss34, the petition said, and there had been only a 10 per cent. increase during that year More than 30,O00 rural schools are without teachers, 1t continued.

HOUSE WILL VOTE ON PEACE
 RESOLUTION THIS WEEK

Washington, April 4-The fight in congress over formal termination of the, war will be renewed this week.
 With the failure of the senate to rat fly the peace treaty, the house will vote--on a resolution, put forward by republicans, declaring the war ended. There were indications today, how ever, that this might result in further developments in connection with the treaty, possibly it's resubmMsion to the senate by the president as the admin istration'S counter move.
 The peace resolution is to be brought before the house Thursday with a rule calling for vote Friday. Republi- cans believe it's adoption is assurede, while democrats declare it certainly will be vetoed by President Wilson, without prospects of obtaining a two- thirds vote to override the veto.
 In many well informed quarters the impression is growing that either be- fore or more probably along with a veto message the president might re- turn the treaty to the senate with af- l flrnative expressions regarding reser- vations. Indeed, it would not surprise administration spokesmen in touch with the situation should the president return the treaty within few days. ] Although democrats plan a vigorous hght on the resolution they virtually are without hope of preventing it: adoption in both house and sena te This was indicated by Senator Hitch. cock of Nebraska, administration lead.

RAIN FAILED TO PREVENT
 NEW YoRK'S EASTER PARADE

New York, April 4-Cold, driz- zling rain and skies that threatened snow failed today to prevent New York's annual Easter parade in Fifth Avenue.
 Gorgeous bonnets and wonderful creations, examples of the French and American modiste's art, were seen, bravely defying the onslaughts of the clements. The ranks of the parade were bit thin, but the dauntless ones, in outfits more suited for Palm Beach than Fifth Avenue in the early and uncertain days of spring, stepped forth to admire and be admired.
 Probably never before has mere man loomed so large as contender for sartorial honors. Not only were the young men resplendant, they were "gaudy" According to quotations by New York colthiers, the very latest styles i'll "husiness'' suits come to $100, while evening clothes cost at
 least $20o.
