(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Jan. 25.-Germans have be
come nation of cake-eaters as a re-
suit of the habits formed during the
war. Cake-eating is now a Saturday
afternoon community affair In all
the smaller cities and in every section
of Berlin the housewives carry the
cake dough to the community bakery
every week end and lay in supply
for the following week
The community bakery was known
before 1914, but it's use generally was
restricted TO baking the cakes for hol
idays. Every Saturday is a holiday
now.
With the increase in the cake eating
habit the majority of families have
dispensed with butter and marmalade
and white or brown bread is no longer

EDITORIAL
OUR OPPORTUNITY

on the first page of this edition
will be found news item Of
great Importance to the citizens of
this community. 1t concerns the
plans of the government to dispose
at public sale at an early date of
the immense air service warehouse
at Souther Field and the ground upon
which it stands.
Many citizens who have inspected
this large structure say that it offers
a splendid home for a factory of
considerable size, all that would be
required being the installation Of the
machinery and the turning on of the
power. The building is constructed
on the unit plan, with large compart-
ments separated by thick fire wallsfor
safety, with automatic fire doors, yet
constitutin symtrical whole.
There are two main wings, with dou-
BILE railroad trackage the whole dis
lance between them, and loading
platforms already constructed and in
use.
Americas has long felt the need of
industries which would provide pay
rolls as stabilizers of business the
year around, providing work for
those desiring it and furnishing a To-
cal consuming point for our raw pro-
ducts. Many have held that a cotton
mill would be desirable from many
standpoints, one of these being that
1t would furnish a market at our
doors for a good portion of our cot
ton crop at better prices than could
be obtained were it necessary to pay
for the transporting of that cotton
thousands of miles across the ocean
or to other sections of the country.
The depot plant at Souther Field APP
pears to offer a splendid opportunity
for embarkation on such an enter
prise, inasmuch as it can probably
be bought for almost junk price, and
will be worth great deal more utiliz-
ed as it stands, if that should be pos
sible, rather than dismantled.
A vital factor is the obtaining of
hydro-electric power. The Georgia
Alabama Power company insists it
will eventually have power in Ameri-
Gus, and we believe it is the honest
tention of the contern to make
good on this promise, inasmuch as it
has plenty Of surplus power to sell
at this time which is bringing in no
revenue and will continue to bring
none until it is sold.
The coming sale of the depot, with
four acres of ground, appears to of
fer the people of the community, if
It can be found possible to organize
and coordinate forces, opportunity
TO obtain a real start industrially.
Big business men advise that the time
to start new industries is in periods
of depression, when labor is plenti-
fgl and prices comparatively cheap,
at when the revival comes prof
Ebay be reaped. That favorable
e is here, and revival is just be-
3lnning.

THE next morning Ben Wheeler
= sent for Molly. A glowering look
was on his face. ,Biliy's plans were
spread on the table, and Billy himself
sat stiffly beside them, his jaw SCI
rigidly, a pencil in nervous fingers.
Molly greeted him warmly, but with d
look of anxiety,
81 don't see anything in these
bIueprints," said Ben Wheeler,
glancing sharply at Molly.
"This waiting-room with the panel
ing-and this here rail, l can't see
why"
He went on monotonously with his
destructive criticism of the details
Billy and Molly had planned so joy
ously the evening before.
1t was the point of view of the
man who cuts away every touch of
grace in behalf of rigid economy and
utility, shearing the cost, but max
ing the whole stark product.
Dashed and astonished, Molly
finally, in pause, ventured a small
remark.
"But it will all be $3.50 bare.
That paneling-"
This is business Office" inter
rupted Ben, mot beauty parlor.'
A stiff, self-conscious silence fell.
Molly knew Ben was to some degree
voicing his own taste, but largely
a disparagement of Barton, feeling
in him a new, if vague, rivalry.
Enthusiastically Ben brought
things to a head.
"And let me tip you off, Barton.
You've submitted plans for the
Chamber of Commerce building in
the competition, haven't you?"
81 have, yes. But how do you
know it? Plans were submitted
anonymously"
Because l am chairman of the
awards committee. Old Simmons
resigned, and Pm in his place. You've
got the same flossy style in your
plans there, too. l noticed it right
away"
A tense silence followed. Billy and
Molly knew Ben was serving notice
of his antagOnism to Billy's Chamber
of Commerce plans. 1t was certain
he would vote against them-and
Billy had staked everything on their
acceptance.
WELL" said Billy crisply, rising,
''here's hoping the others of the COM
mittee-four of them-aren't as
hard to please as you, Wheeler"
afraid they are, Bill. At least
I'm doing what l can to convert
them to a plain, serviceable building
with no gingerbread about it. Moth
ing personal, you understand. But
l believe in keeping business and
friendship-unmixed.
Barton flushed. Molly thought she
sensed what was passing through
his mind.
81 wonder" he said with a trace
of bitterness, glancing at Ben.
Well, you needn't" Ben's voice
was icy, but the fighting blaze was in
his eyes.
"In fact, old friend as you are,
Bill, I've just decided to cancel my
agreement to have you do the plans
for my works"
Molly caught her breath. But with

THE CoUls177os STATEMENT.

NANY government or private bust
ness that can improve its con-
dition in a period of depression de-
serves great deal of commentator.
The statement oil the financial con-
dition of the county, as developed by
the biennial audit just completed
shows that the county has more cash
on hand by some $4,000 than it had
two years ago and has no debts 9TH
er than the rural paving bond debt,
despite the fact that last year the
county received some $4,000 less in
general tax money than the year pre-
viously.
We believe the people generally
put great trust in the present coun-
ty board. This statement shows
that trust has not been abused.
