To begin with, women love laceS, and
lace makers stimulate their devotion
by constantly turning out new and al

all else, the general usefulness of lace
gowns is a factor in their favOr-they

them, and are at home either in after
noon or evening affairs.
Black, brown and ecru laces are in
demand just now, at the beginning of
a season that may see the list of col

silks or satins, usually in the same
color, but with contrasting color notes
in girdles and sashes, or In trimmings,
which are sparingly used with lace.

BE A BOOSTER.

1t is always gratifying to hear anyone
speak good word for Dawson.
Why should we not on all occasions speak
of the goodness the advantages and the many
desirable surroundings Of Dawson' Why
should we leave it to the Chamber OF Com
merce and like organizations to do all the
boosting for the home town? The organiza-
tons, being devoted to the expansion OF fhe
citv's business and material growth, speak
with somewhat selfish purpose, but it is pos
sible for the rest of us, as individuals to speak
.unsehshly from more disinterested view
point We are all aware that Dawson could
be improved in many ways. We also know,
or we should know, that constant effort is
being directed toward Improvement
Anyone who will speak evil Of his town be
trays questionable taste to say nothing more.
Everyone of us can help to push Dawson for
ward by making it our business to speak a
good word for the home town at every ia
vorable opportunity, and we can help by each
exerting individual effort to make the town
grow and prosper. 1t is not too much to say
that everyone has duty to perform in these
directions.
In short, why should we not be boosters
for the town in which we live?

The Relative Graft.

A dispatch from Washington dscloses that
there are ia congressman who carry 133
wives, daughters sons, brothers and other
relatives on the capitol pay roll as clerks
There's nothing new about the facility OF
congressman in taking care of their kin in
this manner, Keeping the clerk hire allow
ance in the family might even be considered
commendable, provided the relatives actually
earn the salaries paid them.
In some instances the relatives actually
perform the work assigned to them, but in
many others clerk is hired for $1,000, more
or less, and the remainder of the $500 clerk
hire allowance is paid to the relative who
does no work. Frequently, a canvass OF the
situation shows the $40 bonus paid to en-
ployes receiving $500 or less goes to the
clerk. And by the way OF parenthesis it may
be remarked that what is true of members OF
congress is also true of some officials in ev-
cry state OF the union, in which there are
many glaring instances OF nepotsm.
In view of the necessity of economy in
governmental affairs at this time this is a
matter that should bear investigation. \ con-
gresham gets a salary OF 81 500 gear and
in addition the $500 clerk hire fund. If clerks
cost that much and earn their money the
transaction leaves no ground for complaint.
But if a congressman gets a clerk for $1,000
year and slips his relative $4,000 easy mon
ey for which no labor is performed the tax
payers Of the country ought to have a word
to say about the matter.
1t would seem the first step should be to
determine the actual value OF clerks. If any
congressman have shown they can get them
for 1920 a year and save $1,000 a year for
a non-workng relative, then a reduction in
the clerk hire appropriation would be one
means of stopping this species of graft. That
this course would strike at the heart of the
situation is indicated by another phase OF the
subject which shows that out of the congress
mans combined salary and clerk allowance
which totals $1,000 a year, he often gets
a clerk or puts a relative to work for around
81 200 and keeps the rest for himself, thereby
actually drawing $500 to $4,000 more salary
for himself than is appropriated for his in
come as congressman
If a congressman's legal salary is $500 a
year he is not entitled to more. If an allow
ance of $500 is granted for clerk hire ii
should be expended for that purpose. and not
divided as graft for non-working relatives or
himself. A little light on this subject Should
result in saving some badly needed money
to taxpayers.

Cutting the Army Cost.

A blow at "high living in the army" as a
congressman calls it. was delivered by the
house subcommittee which reported the
army appropriation bill the other day. A
hopeful trend in the direction OF national
economy is evidenced by the committee
work on the measure, which calls for $685.
100000. This figure is a reduction OF SoZ,OOO'-
600 from the appropriation for this year, and
represents cut Of more than half in>the war
departments estimates of $690,0000O0.
The war department exhibits a singular
lack OF the sense OF proportion in placing its
estimate at so high a figure. Reduced to the
figures fixed by the subcommittee, S238,0OO,-
600, the amount appropriated by the bill IS sui
fcientlv large enough to be startling
Among the cuts made by the committee
in the bill was the reduction by one-hah OF
the number Of civilian employees About 80
600 of these will be dispensed with il the
measure is adopted in its present form. Nearly
all the construction plans also were dropped,
which will make it necessary for the war de
partment to dispose of number of now
Useless army camps during the coming
wear. The salaries Of civilian employees
in vocational training were reduced from
81. 100000 last year to $4,000. The bill
also provides that the war department shall
sell surplus stocks, trucks and horses which
cost the government 100000 year.
Following out the suggestion OF President
elect Harding provision is made for peace
time army of 100000.

POOR BUSINESS.
From the Macon Telegraph.

Generally speaking, the farmers OF Georgia
have only one source of revenue. 1t is really
unnecessary to say this is cotton. The great
need OF Georgia farmers today is tor every
farm to establish several sources OF revenue
instead OF one.
A single crop, with the sustenance OF the
farmer and his household depending upon
the money obtained from the sale OF that
crop, is the cause OF the greater part OF the
woe experienced today in the rural districts.
No business can live and prosper on the basis
by which the average farm is conducted in
this state with money coming in during only
one period of the year
Each farm should have two good milk
COWS, fifty laying hens, two breed sows, a
garden large enough to supply the needs OF
home consumption and produce a surplus OF
truck for sale, live stock enough to keep the
farmers smoke house filled to supply his own
needs and have a surplus for. sale, and a sui
hcient acreage OF corn, COW peas, velvet beans
and peanuts to feed his stock without having
to purchase. and have surplus.
\ farm in Georgia that cannot produce
several sources OF revenue instead OF one is
not a good business proposition 1t is very
well for the ocCulist and the criminal lawyer
to specialize, but merchants and farmers
should be heavily capitalized in their bust
ness before they attempt such For them it
is always an experiment and more difficult to
finance and successfully manage than a bus
mess which diversihes and has a number OF
sources from which money comes into the
treasury.

Paving the Penalty.

The picture Of Wilhelm, former mighty
war lord of imperial Germany, heart-broken
in exile as each hour brings nearer the death
of his wife, the queen who shared the triumph
of the days OF his regal power and the woman
who has been his sole companion in the lone
" months at Doom, would indicate that the
ex-emperor has tasted the cup OF bitterness.
With the announcement from The Hague,
however. that preparations have been COM
pleted for the former kaiserin's funeral and
that Wilhelm will not be permitted to &C
company the body of his mate to its final rest
ing place at Charlottenburg the former war
lord becomes the center of what probably is
one of the greatest tragedies of history.
Is not the climax for the man who set off
a powder barrel under Europe and sought to
crush the world under the iron heel OF mill
tarism equal to if not worse than the last days
of Napoleon? The French emperor had soil
tude in his exile, but Wilhelm has had to
watch the weakening heart beats OF his life
companion. And now cold, stern law steps
in and tells him as her life GIBBS that her body
must go back to Germany unaccompanied
by him.
The Dutch government in taking its pres
ent position is not actuated by any desire 10
punish the former kaiser. More than likely
it wishes only to prevent him from leaving
the country and engaging in any plots to re-
store the monarchy in Germany. The effect
of its action, however, is tragic as far as Will
helm is concerned. II those who sought the
ex-kaiser's life at the conclusion of the war
can feel any enjoyment at the sufferings OF
others they will at least have the satisfaction
now of knowing that the former German war
lord has learned that the way OF the trans
gressor is hard"

A Bic Blunder.

Secretary Baker, OF the war department, is
in hot water. 1t has been discovered that
France is selling goods knit and supplied by
the women OF this country during the war I'M
der the Red Cross plan for the comfort OF the
soldiers. These Red Cross goods were sold to
France by the war department and France is
now reselling them to the people at trlfiing
price The discovery OF these sales OF goods
created storm OF protest
The secretary OF war explains that it was a
mistake on the part OF the department. Mr..
Baker says the Red Cross supplies were stor-
ed in the same warehouse with government
supplies, and that when the contents of the
warehouse were sold to France the Red Cross
goods were inadvertently included, and that
having made the mistake the department was
rot disposed to make any protest against the
French contention that the goods belonged to
that government. But when the women who
knit their souls into those garments learned
of the blunder they became convinced that
aNore efficiency was needed in this department.

The Negroes Real Friends.
From the Macon News

Dispatches from Chicago tell us that on
Friday morning three men drove up to an
apartment house in that city, occupied by ne
proes. and hurled bomb at the front door,
causing considerable damage. 1t was the sec
ond bomb to be exploded in front OF the same
building within a year, and the fourth within
the same block, which in general is negro
quarter. According to the dispatches, he
police say race feeling is responsible Tor the
explosion"
This news item comes to US while it is
still fresh in mind that a short time ago the
directors OF the Savannah Cotton Exchange
placed the flag on that institution at half
mast out Of respect for the faithful negro por-
ter of that exchange who had just died
This tribute, unusual in itself and entirely
at variance with what the people of the north
regard as our normal attitude towards the
negro, has attracted a great deal of attention
and has called forth Illuminating comment
from the press of the state and perhaps else
where.
We seriously doubt if there is any other
section of the country where such tribute
as that of the Savannah Cotton Exchange
would have been paid to a negro 1t is prob
able that for political and selfish purposes
he might be temporarily fattered and cajoled
and fanatics who are the spiritual heirs of
the New England abolitioniSts, occasionally
do the negro great harm by gnorantly en-
cOuraging him to aspire to social equality.
But to have had the heartfelt regard for his
sterling virtues the sincere appreciation of his
fidelity, and the Willingness to protect him
against any injuries such as the members OF
the Savannah Cotton Exchange who have
known the negro all their lives undoubtedly
had, is something that would have been ut
terly impossible anywhere outside of the
south.

A Marketing System.
From the Atlanta Journal.

Georgia's need OF a marketing system is
generally recognized and it is probable that
material results will be achieved along this
line during 1921. The governor-elect has eX-
pressed himself i'll favor of plan that it is
thought will advance agricultural interests in
this state, commenting upon which the Rome
News says:
"Governor-elect Hardwick has given his
approval to a farm advancement program OF
the state college OF agriculture which will
put Georgia forward more than she has
progressed in a decade"
The Dawson News, published in one of the
most prolific agricultural counties OF south
west Georgia. readily analyses the situation
and replies as follows:
"What really is needed is a system for
marketing the products OF the farm. The
country has spent millions Of dollars and
fifty years of Investigation to popularize
scientific farming. The result has been
greatly to increase production. But much
of this gain is lost by inefficient marketing.
If equal enterprise is manifested in con
structing new systems of marketing an even
greater benefit can be secured"
Governor-elect Hardwick and the two
newspapers have sized up the situation cor
rectly. Georgia's soil is capable of producing
almost every known vegetable, fruit and agri-
cultural product. But there should be mark
ct system enabling the producer to derive
reasonable profit from his endeavors.
