.CHAUTAUQUA COMES
70 CLOS TUESDAY
Local Talent Assists Royal
Holland Bell Ringers
IN Staging

With the splendid entertainment Of
the Six Royal Holland Bell Ringers
the local chautanqua came TO a close
on Tuesday evening. That the chau-
tauqua was a success has been agreed
by all who were In attendance. or.
course there were some programsg
which by no means were as good as,
others, but this is only natural In
any entertainment course of this
type. sss Isl
T The lecturers were all very good
and each brought message before,
the people which was of vital and
up-to-the- minute interest to every
one. a
Paul B. Naylor Of the Agricultural
Extension Division of the University
of Missouri. gave his listeners a.
splendid message regarding the vital
part the farmer is playing in the
economic and political life and show
ed what great responsibility lay be-
fore him. He stated that the farmer
was not well enough educated and
that their one hope of keeping the
young people on the farm was to give
them as good an education and as at
tractive life as that of the city
young folk. He explained how it was
through organization that the farmer
could continue to compete with or
ganized capital and labor and made
J a plea for every farmer to join the.
Farm Bureau and thereby, through
organization, regain the rights which
he has lost.
DR.. l. G. Herbert, who has studied
national and world affairs, gave the
best lecture of the course. His theme
was What Next?" In developing it
he lead his listeners through past his
tory Of Europe and America, then into
the present and to some extent out
lined a course for the future. He at
tackled congress for not doing it's
duty and severely opposed the immi-
grafton of undesirable foreigners into

mon people who are not having a
voice in political operations.
OF the musical numbers there is no
doubt but that the Royal Holland Bell
Ringers led all the others. Their
program was unique, full of humor,
as well as good music and all that
goes to comprise a good, interesting
entertainment.
The Holland Bell Ringers were as
sisted in two numbers by the famous
Parkston Male Glee Club, hardly
known over the world yet but max
ing strides in that direction.
",Ths Runaway Match" was GER
tainly hilarious comedy and al

good play of its type.

DON'T BE FAMILIAR
BY H. Addington Bruce
TINE adage, Familiarity breeds con-

TIME adage, Familiarity breeds con-
tempt" should be taken to heart by
everybody. Particularly should it be
taken to heart by those who have goods to
sell.
For familiarity on their part may breed
such contempt in the minds of prospective
customers that their goods are rejected even
before they have offered them. Again and
again, simply because of an obnoxious famil-
iarity, statesmen as cuttingly rebuffed as
was the representative of a certain publish
ing house when calling for the first time on
the buyer for large department store
In the elevator going up to the buyer S
office this salesman confided to another, also
on his way to see the book buyer
I'm told that this old rooster is a tough
bird to handle But that doesn't worry me
bit. They're all tough if you let them think
you fear them. Isn't that right?'
81 guess it isl cautiously assented the
other salesman. "Only l happen to know
Smith we'll. And he really is tough. Don't
try to rush him; let me give you that tip
"Just watch me-"
The other salesman did watch him. He
saw him hasten, unannounced, to the desk
where the buyer sat frownina at his morning
mail. And he heard him give the buyer the
breezy salutation:
Good morning. My names Brown You're
busy and I'm busy, and we'll both be buster
in minute, just soon as | begin passing
over to you some of the speediest flyers that
ever trotted across book counter. Sounds
pretty good, eh, old top? 1t is good.''
The buyer looked up him with cold ap-
praisal. Then the buyer looked back at his
mail. All he said was:
"You had it right when you called me busy.
I'm far too busy to become any buster with
YOU Good day.
But" began the astonished salesman
'T said 'Good day You're not carrying
any books you can sell me. I know that"
Crestfallen, the other turned away. AS he
passed the man he had met in the elevator,
he whispered:
"He was tough"
Yet only moment later the buyer beck
oned the second salesman to him.
"Do you happen to know that fellow who
just went out?" he demanded. HE hasn't
thing except gall. But he oozes that.
show me?"
Nothing just now. I'll come back when
you're not quite so busy
I'm not so busy that I can't give you a
few minutes. What have you got?"
The one man lost because he had no re-
spect for a fellow-beings personality. The
other won because he knew better than to
conflict with the universal impulse to self
esteem.
Familiarity does thus conflict 1t is dan
gerOus mannerlsm to assume even in inter-
course with a friend of long standing. In
business relationships it is always harmful
often disastrous in its consequences.

sible for him to purchase provisions for the
family of three, and that buying clothing
altogether out of the question. Old
shoes, patched up with wooden soles fash
toned roughly with knife, have to take
the place of proper footgear. Outworn and
threadbare clothes must be made to suffice.
Here are some of the current prices for
necessities in Vienna, according to this
letter: A kilogram of fat, equal to 2 Is
pounds, cost 800 crowns, normarlly worth
about $50; a single egg is valued at 20
crowns; the price of klogram of meat
ranges from 200 to $50 crowns. Clothing
prices are far out of reach that only
one is quoted shirt, the letter said,
may not be purchased for less than from
$40 to $50 crowns.
America Comparatively Well Off
America came out of the World War
with few bruises in comparison with many
Of the other belligerent nations. The
death toll of American boys is loss which
nothing can replace, and nothing can ever
square the accounts for the hundreds of
manned and blinded youths who gave the
best of life to halt the Hun.
But today, though American business is
not booming as it was at the high tide
of war activity, though there is necessarily
a tax burden to pay the cost of the war,
the United States is far better off econom-
icaIly than any one OF the principal bellig-
erents in the struggle. Japans part in the
war did not entail sufficient effort to class
it with America, England, France Italy Or
the enemy group of nations.
England, having a tremendous foreign
debt in addition to it's internal obligations
on war bonds held by it's subjects, is in
such financial condition that appeals have
come from London to Washington asking
that the British debt to the United States
be forgiven. British statesmen, with the
Irish crisis on their hands and deep in the
whirlpool Of after-the-war European poll
tics, only few weeks ago announced plans
for great increases in the English navy,
a further addition to Britain's debt.
France is in worse shape than England,
still maintaining a great standing arm to
throw into any adjacent territory in order
that the peace terms shall be enforced.
Italy is suffering tremendous financial de-
preston caused by it's great expenditures of
wealth during the colossal struggle.

Fulton County as Ta*bayer
THE vigor of Fulton countys growth

and something of it's significance to
the treasury of the State are wit
| messed in the new tax digest, with it's total
of one hundred and ninety million four hun
dred and eighty-three thousand five hundred
| and thirty-five dollars of values assessed.
This represents an increase over 1920 of ap-
proximately twenty-five million eight hun
dred and thirty-seven thousand dollars and
virtually doubling of values, within the last
ten years. Of all the taxes collected this year
by the Commonwealth of Georgia, Fulton
county will pay One-fifth.
Analysis of the returns shows, among
many interesting facts, that there are three
thousand one hundred and ninety-eight more
taxpayers this year than last the total num-
bering forty thousand three hundred and
eight. Improved farm lands and buildings
are returned at $7,699,553, gain of $572,-
1875. City and town property is given a tax
able value of $119, 446,505, a gain of $1O,-
757,4O5. An increase in something more
than two million fourteen thousand dollars
is reported in bank stocks, capital and real
estate, which are returned for 1921 at $1O,-
465,90O. Automobile values, according to
The Journals news summary of the digest,
have increased $4,000, while the values of
diamonds have dropped 1000 in the city.
In the city an increase of $2,014,485 is shown
in stocks and real estate, an increase of ST.
$4,000 in the market value of stocks of
goods, merchandise and fertilizers and gain
of practically 100000 in furniture and
household goods. The live stock values in
the city show an increase of $77,840, while
the value of carriages, buggies and wagons
shows a drop of $7,625.
"a small improvement is noted in the mar
ket value of stocks and bonds which were
returned last year at $1,402,290, this year at
$1,519 ,225-a gain of $21O,935. Money on
deposit showed an improvement of $48,765,
the returns being $14,924,120 in 1920 and
$14,972,945 in 1921"
Herodotus tells us that there was inscribed
upon one of the greater Pyramids a careful
reckoning of the amounts spent on the rad
ishes, onions and leeks consumed by it's army
of builders. A historian of centuries hence
will be able to tell much of our lives and
fortunes by looking into these tax records.
He will see at glance that in the year of
grace 1921 the county of Fulton was pros
pering despite divers Universities, that her
people were busted in manifold industries
and realms Of trade, and that they were
cheerfully bearing one-fifth of the States
tax burden.

Dorothy Dix TalkS-HOW to Win MOther-in-LaW


1t is a matter of common knowledge that
when a woman really gives her mind to
being business woman, and takes the same
heart interest in her job that she does in
her hair or her complexion, that she is a
crackerjack at it.
All of us know saleswomen who lay a
spell upon us that causes us to buy things
we don't want and can't afford. We know
women buyers who can wiring the last cent
out of a seller in the way of discounts and
terms We know private secretaries around
whom a whole office functions as absolutely
| and dependently as home does around moth
err, and, this being the case, the wonder has
always been that so few of the many thou
sands of girls who go into business make a
success of it.
Most of them are just also-rans. They
fill small places incompetently. They have
no interest in their work, no ambition to
attain to more responsible position, no de-
| sire to learn anything about the thing they
| are trying to do, no pride of craftsmanship.
Business to them means doing as little
labor as they can to draw a pay envelope
while they wait for some man to come along
and take them out of the store or office
and put them in a kitchen or a parlor, as
Lady Luck ordains.
have always maintained that the curious
phenomena of the business girl, who gave
one brain cell to her job and the balance of
such gray matter as she possessed to trying
to look and act like a Society Debutante
was to be explained by her clothes Further
more, l have contended that women would
never be worth their salt, even to themselves,
in the commercial world until they quit 60
ing to work in fluffy ruffles and learn to
dress the part, as theatrical people say, of
the business woman.
So it is with great interest that I learn
that the big business men in a number of
Northern and Eastern cities have put the
ban on the baby doll in stores and offices,
and have given instructions to their employ
ment bureaus to take on none but plainly
and suitably attired women, with clean, I'M
painted faces.
II do not trust any made-up woman" said
one of these large employers of female labor,
"and no girl decked out in transparent
waist, and with fancy shoes, and knee length
skirts and socks on need apply for work
here. I want none but business women, and
women who look like business women
If this Is true, and employers are going
to force women to give up their frivolity in
ton in womens whole position in business,
to amount to something worth while in the
Ecommercial field.
For one of the reasons that women have
| achieved so little is because they have not
been suitably clothed You can't climb the
ladder of success in a beaded Georgette
blouse any more than you could fire ladder.
Nor can you run race in spool-heeled shoes.
Common prudence counsels you not to over
exert yourself when you have got on a
handmade complexion that is liable to run

CENTRIPETAL FORCES IN THE
BRITISH EMPIRE
By DR.. Frank Crane


The British Empire is not falling to pieces.
1t is consolidating.
We are likely to imagine that the spirit of
the times, which runs to independence and
self-determination, is slowly disintegrating
the vast territory governed by Great Britain.
To such conclusion we are the more prone
because a very intense propaganda has been
carried on by the Germans, whose wish has
been father to the thought, that the English
speaking world is falling apart. In this prop
uganda the Irish have co-operated. Both
these groups having great solidarity in Amer
lean politics, they have had pronounced in
fluence upon public opinion.
Besides this there have been persistent
rumors of revolution in India and in Egypt.
Yet any one who cares to look at the facts
must realize that the centripetal are more
powerful than the centrifugal forces in Great
Britain
For at bottom it is question of self-in-
terest. And Australia, Canada, New Zealand
and South Africa, we'll as the Asiatic colo
MES, know that their existence is safer and
their prosperity. more assured by maintaining
union with the rest of the English world than
in isolation.
Great Britain may have conquered her
possessions by force, for she got them in the
days when force was omnipotent but she
does not keep them by force.
She has been shrewd enough to change her
policy So that whereas the colonies of
Great Britain are more closely bound now
than ever.
1t is not the mother country's army, and
navy that keeps Canada, for instance; it is
that Canada finds it in every way more ad-
vantageous to be linked with the rest of the
English world than to go it alone.
In other words, for the old tie of conquest,
such as Rome's or Spain's, there has been
substituted the new tie of mutual benefit,
such as creates an American trust.
The Great War emphasized this That test
showed that in a crisis the empire flowed to-
gether, and did not spring apart.
But the British Empire, plus the United
States Of America, is a homogeneous mass,
the like of which never existed before; it is
a unity formed by blood, history, tradition
and religion. 1t is the most powerful unit
! extant. For it to fall asunder or be torn by
war would be the greatest calamity to the
human race conceivable. .
The British statesmen of today deserve
great credit for their intelligent handling of
colonial problems, especially for realizing
that it is not military force but the profitable
ness of unity which is the cohesive power of
the empire.
And in the most friendly cooperation with
Great Britain and her colonies the United
States of America has everything to gain and
not thing'to fear.
