Key to Ne7e, Bloc
Found i'm Recent
Political Contest

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.&What
does the new political movement
mean? Does it mean a third party
in 1924? Have the producers Of the
Nation really combined for political
action? Can the farmers and indus
trial workers find common ground on
which to cooperate politically? VIII
liberals who are neither farmers nor
laborers fit in and go along with the
movement? Is it radical conservative
or merely progressive?
Whoever would catch the signifi-
canoe of this new progressive move
ment will have to look deeper than
ordinary politics. The key may be
found in the message put over at the
Washington conference by four
United States Senators elected at the
last e+ection-for Brookhart and Fra
zier .Republicans) Wheeler Demo
craft and Shipstead (Farmer-Labor),
each same with a message-and it
was the same message. There was
no partisan politics in it.
1t was presentation OF grievance
Of the American farmer, the food-prO-
Queer OF the Nation. 1t was a de-
mand for relief. And it was backed
up by representatives of several mil
lion trades unionists headed by the
railroad workers.
There is just this in it politically
a very large body of farmers and in
d1strfaI workers have found them
selves. They have come to under
stand that they are farmers and
workers first-and human beings-and
only afterward and incidentally
Democrats and Republicans.

Dealers Differ Over Benefits
From BYOadCaSting Sbeeche.

Many people of the United States
are living in dread Of radios fu-
ture.
Yet others have high hopes and
expectations.
The reason is rumors about the
national capitol at Washington state
Congress may adopt radio as a
means of bringing its members into
closer touch with their constituent

Indianapolis radio dealers are di-

greater interest in radio, though
arousing eagerness in citizens to
hear their representatives at Wash

They are afraid congressional pala-

The argument in favor Of this step
is, people will be able to keep in
closer touch with their representa-
tives. Knowing exactly what these
men were doing in Washington, the
voters could act more intelligently
at the elections.
And it would be radio that would,

TRAPS AND
TRIGGER
BY J. A. PINKsToN, JR.

The Americas Gun club which like
many other amusement features, sus-
pended during the late war, has been
re-organized and is a pleasing ad-
dition to the Golf club.
Occupying the site in the rear of
the club house, near the 9th hole,
with a perfect sky line for a back
ground, it has been pronounced by
professional trap shooters, who have
visited us, to be one of the best in
the United States, at O'Clock, an
hour set apart for its exclusive use.
Several of the old members, among
whom are shots of statewide fame,
are enrolled and the rockies are
manifesting keen interest. Arthur
Mize is so intent upon beating Lewis
Ellis, who has a record of having
broken three of the elusive clays out
of a possible twenty-five, that he
has the Marlin company working on
a special model, with which they
claim, even Arthur can break five.
Joe hightower, Walter Rylander,
Dusty Burke, Harris Council and
L. l.. McCleskey are the high guns
at present but the younger shooters
are doing well and with more prac-
tlce and experience, will rival the
best. Americas is known as a town
of good shots and the Gun club will
do more than anything else to in
crease this number. There is no
more pleasing nor healthful sport
than trap shooting and it may be
followed for an entire season, for a
very modest sum.
All members of the Golf club are
eligible for membership and will be
cordially welcomed.
The personnel of the club is at
present:
j. w. Hightower, j. w. Hightow-
er, Jr., c. M. Council, C. M. Council,
Jr., D. R. Andrews, Edward Andrews,

THE DISTRICT CLUE
MEETING AT VIENNA.

1t became the club duty of the
writer to attend most interesting
meeting of the district clubs held
in Vienna in April. The reports
were good, some were most excellent,
others exceptional in value. Mrs.
Peterson gave splendid address on
Citizenship" in which she, through
her charming persuasive manner
urged every lady to do her full duty
by her state and country in register
ing before it is too late; to be ready
to vote when the time comes, so as
to make our votes for good laws and
good office-holders over-balance the
bad, thus insuring US of Christian
country, God-loving people and bet
ter laws to protect our homes.
The most forcible of all subjects
brought to our attention. and one
which should command the interest
of every Georgia man, woman and
child wishing our state to progress
with others, was the knowledge pre-
sented to US of what Georgia does
and can produce. Think of ratine
Of a good grade being woven, dyed
and sold in one of our little Georgia
towns at twenty to fifty cents yard;
and then consider the money to be
saved when Griffin, Georgia, offers US
superior quality of silk hose of
beautiful texture at the attractive
prices of from seventy-five cents to
two dollars a pair. This does not
mean merely plain hose Of good
quality, but beautifully embroidered
and clicked stockings.
The shoes exhibited from an At
lanta manufacturer are sold for
three and five dollars, look comfort
able, durable and well-made; also
stylish and pretty.
Think, too, of what our Georgia
farmers can raise the year round
This fertile soil and equitable eli
mate, combined with the proper man
agement, enables us to produce
practically every vegetable, fruit,
meat and breadatuff used on the
family table, with the possible excep-
ton of sugar and coffee. Is not this
an asset to any state? Let US all en-
ergize ourselves to ratronize these
home industries and put Georgia on
the map as a rival to California,
Texas, Florida and other great states
where home products and home in
dustries pay off the far mmortgages
and enable the youth to secure the
higher education necessary to great
achievements.

I And hearts rejoice at thy dear name.
Thy loyal children e'er shall raise
Their voices clear. to sing thy praise,
In word and deed to honor thee
Thou mother of the brave and free.
A contest for music for these
words is now announced under the
following rules:
| l. The composer must be native
born Georgian, or have lived ana.
been identified as such for at least
10 years.
2. Correct harmony (soul-stirr-
ingD
3. Melody must be good style,
tuneful, striking, pathetic, express
i've, and forceful. Simple, that is,
without technical difficulties.)
A. Rhythm, martial, regular and
clearly defined.
5. The music should be in strict
sympathy with the poem for which
| it is written.
6. The range should not exceed
the interval of tenth. (From first
line C to fourth space in treble staff
is good range for most voices, es-
pecially adults.)
7. Form-Simple, so that it is
easily learned and remembered by
audiences. Poetic, rather than
Ipopular)
8. All presidents of clubs and
publicity committees will please as
sist in every way possible toward Civ
ing this information to all Georgians.
9. Five copies of the completed
lsong must be sent to Miss Ella M.
Polk, 1927 Jackson St., Americas,
Ca, by August Is, 1922, for the
use of the judges. (Note change of
date.)
10. Five competent judges from
different parts Of tile state will
select the three best songs from
those submitted.
II. All manuscripts must be in
ink, and should the sender wish
them returned, sufficient postage
must be enclosed.
1t is very necessary inconducting
this contest fairly that no name or
address of any kind appear on the
manuscripts entered. This rule was
embodied in the regular rules for
the poem contest, but having been
| overlooked by so many of the con-
testants, | thought best to give an
additional information, thereby
! making it clearer and more forceful
that the name and address should not
appear on any manuscript, but in
sealed envelope accompanying it.
The judges in the poem contest
were Mrs. Oscar Mckenzie, of Mon
tezuma, state chairman of institu-
tions, Georgia Federation; Miss
Rosa Woodberry, of Atlanta, parlia-
mentarian for the Georgia Fedora
ton, and Mr.. Harry Stillwen Ed
wards, of Macon, a noted writer.
