CARD OF THANKS

81 wish to express through the
columns of the Times-Recorder my
sincere appreciation of the loyal sup
port given me by those who voted
for me in the recent election for
mayor.
Many factors entered into the
four-cornered race, and the results
prove the Importance of organiza-
ton, and will say further the COM
bination of this election could not be
defeated.
Wishing Mr.. Poole unbounded
success and that he may be able to
accomplish things that have not been
done heretofore, and with best wish
cs to all and without a spark of i'll
feeling toward any, let us all pull
together for the good of Americas.
&C. J. CLARK"

HATS ARE OFF
TO THE LEGION

From the Ranking Buck Pri-
vate to the austere major, our
mats are off to every member Of
John d. Mathis Post, American
Legion. With unselfish devotion
they planned and successfully
carried through one of the most
delightful celebrations today in
all the history of Sumter county.
For weeks our Legionnaires
have worked increasingly, every
man jack of them, expanding of
their time, money and brain, in
an effort to make Armistice Day
in Sumter county, day long to
be remembered.
And just how successful they
were, was demonstrated in every
event of the day. The parade
was all and more than was ex-
pected, skillfully planned and eff
ficiently carried out. The bar
becue, like the loaves and fishes,
was more than enough, there be-
ing sufficient for all-including
even the numberless school boys,
who never before in their lives
had enough to eat Every event
Of the day was a success, and
Americas and Sumter county is
again proud of her Buddies.
-Four years ago today the peo-
pie in Americas were hilarious
with JOY when it was announced
that an armistice had been sign
ed, and that the last gun in the
world war had been fired.
Each successive year since
then there has been an increas-
ing observance of the day as
mingled memorial and celebra-
ton among both the veterans
and the townsfolk.
In the celebration which was
conceived and planned this year
by the Legion it is believed that
a precedent has been establish
ed which will mean that Novem-
Der 18th will ever be a day of
special significance to the COM
munity.
1t is the day the veterans
claim as their own, and yet they
share it and share it willingly
with all, for all came in contact
with the war and felt its sorrows
alike.
Our hats are off to every men,
Der of the local post and its aux
iliary of women.

hol never did any good and never
will"
Ford gets public attention
easily because he usually says
the opposite of what the public
is used to being told, He is not
strong on platitudes and bunk"
Ford is quoted as saying re-
Gently in Boston: Spend your
money. Don't try to save money
and be a miser. Spend it. Spend
it on yourself-you'n have the
experience, anyway, and you'll
learn how to earn more"
If Ford ever does go into poll
tics, and if he makes speeches as
startling and interesting as this
discourse on thrift, the country
would at least have the unprece-
dented experience of hearing
political speeches without anes-
thetic powers.

CANCER WEEK TO BE
OBSERVED, NOV. 1918.

One woman in eight and one
man in IA Goes of cancer. SO
the public should gladly give
deep thought to the medical
warnings and advice circulated
during Cancer Week, Nov.
1918.
Here are the important facts
you should know about this dread
disease:
First-Cancer usually is caus-
ed by chronic irritation, particu-
larlv of the stomach. Thirty per
cent Of cancers in men and 2l
per cent in women are in the
stomach.
Second-Cancer is not contag-
ious. 1t is not a germ disease.
Third-Cancer is not heredi-
tary, though a person may in
herit a tendency" or physical
weakness which not safeguarded,
may enable cancer to develop
easily.
Fourth-Cancer, taken in the
early stages, often is durable in
the hands of medical experts.
Radium is working wonders in
this line. So is surgery.

AIR PLANE DEVELOPMENT
BRINGS NEW PROBLEMS.

An airplane with a speed Of
500 miles an hour will be devel-
oped within a comparatively
short time" So predicts Brig.
Gen. William Mitchell, assistant
chief of the army air service.
Then, says Mitchell, business
man will be able to leave New
York City early in the morning,
fly to England, have lunch,
transact business, and return
home before dark.
If so, what would happen to
prohibition? A picture rises,
of rum-hound flying over to
London for a spree, back tno
same day.
In flying at terrific speed, such
as 500 miles an hour, the chief
problem would be supplying air
to passengers and crew.
Mitchell tells of experiments,
being conducted by the army,
using oxygen tanks to furnish air
for the people in an alright
cabin of the flying craft.
Fast planes in another genera
ton or two will be as common as
autos are today. Devices such as
oxygen machines will be needed
then. And they will be monopo-
lized by patents.
About 30 years ago writer
in the old Argosy magazine
wrote story, "A Round Trip
to the Year 2OO0," in which he
pictured the earth's inhabitants
going about with meters attach
cd to their noses. A trust had
monopolized the air and was
making people pay for the privi-
lege Of breathing. Maybe this
writer was more of a prophet
than a "romancer."
Interesting problems will rise
when airplanes making 500 or
1000 miles an hour, or more,
come into general use.
The frontiers of countries then
will virtually disappear. The
flying machine, conquering time
and geography, will literally
place the far corners of the earth
at Mr.. Average Mans door.
Prohibition or most other at
tempt5 to regulate individuals
conduct will be futile then, UNI
less the laws apply all over the
world. What will be the good of
a drastice law, applying only in
one country, when men will be
able to evade it by flying to an

FORD'S FUTURE, AN
INTERESTING STUDY

Henry Ford for President
clubs are springing up in many
cities. The one recently organ
lied in New York is preparing
literature for an extensive cam
paign'
The campaign will be wisely
managed, bank on that, for level
headed business men are back
ing it.
1t is not impossible that Ford
will run for president at the next
election. Nor is it impossible
that he may walk into the White
House when Harding moves out.
Strange things happen in poll
tics. Four years ago today War
rem Harding had no idea that
he had been selected by the Fates
to lead the nation.
eve never dreamed of it,"
Mrs. Harding said at Marion DUR
ing the campaign.
When Ford gets an idea in his
head, he usually finds a way to
carry it out, no matter how
visionary"
Recently he took trip three
miles underground in a coal
mine, and decided that mining is
not a fit job for a human being.
It's not a coincidence that,
shortly after, Ford bought
! property containing 100000
tons of coal, near Steubenville,
o., of the ''strip-mine" sort
coal exposed on the surface,
where it can be mined in day
light by dredges, no one under
ground.
What would Ford, as a presi-
dental candidate, do about
liquor?" Here's the answer, as
he put it the other day:
There won't be any prohibit
ton problem within years. BY
that time the old drinkers will
have died off and we won't have
any trouble about enforcing the
law. That viii take care of the
maonshine and bootlegging prob
iems, toe. The moonshine takes
care for its own problem you see,
