"Tried preparations that kill
rats, but RAT-SNAP is the only
one that prevents disagreeable

RUNS BANK WITHOUT CASH

The Clearwater Valley State
bank operated nearly all day
yesterday without any cash sup
ply, except that which came in
through the cashier windows.
At the usual time for it to per-
form the function, the time lock
on the bank safe refused to func-
ton and continued to do so UNI
til near closing time. For several
hours its action Tor non-action)
was a puzzle to the Messrs.
Robertson, when it suddenly
came to Geo. NJ, the cashier,
that he had made a mistake in
setting it the day previous. 1t
is customary to set the lock at 9
in the morning, so that it will
open within "a hours, or at 9 the
next morning. Tuesday, Mr..
Robertson forgot to set it, but
did so at 8 p. M, when the bank
closed. He gave it the custom
airy turn for the "a hour period
not counting the lateness of the
hour of setting, so quite natur-
ally, all the clock could do was to
wait out its allotted time before
working. In the forenoon the
banks available cash was below
the SIS figure, but no one was in
convenienced, since it was q
light business day all over town
and no one was making very
heavy demands. -Kamiah Pro

There is a wide variance as to
who should be the choice of the
South for president The Column
bus Ledger and the Douglas En-
terprise both seem to favor Oscar
Underwood. Seems to be rather
early yet. No telling what may
turn up later The Douglas En-
terprise thinks Underwood can
turn the trick. 1t says:
There is a whole lot being said
at this time about who the Demo-
cratic nominee will be next year.
Several names figure prominently,
viz: McAdoo, Cox, Davis, Ford,
al Smith, and from that list we
believe Oscar Underwood would
make the most available candidate.
He is one big man that has made
no serious mistake in politics, and
he has been mixed in it for over
twenty years. He represents the
best traditions of the Old South,
and it looks to US like the best OPP
portunity the South has ever had
to place a man in the Presidents
chair"

the Brunswick News offers this
fine suggestion as to what Geor-
gia needs for developing the state.
1t needs to be pondered over:
While North Carolina pos
seses no superior, if equal advan-
tages to Georgia, and yet that
state is making more progress in
many directions than the Empire
State. The only solution is that
lawlessness is retarding Georgia's
advancement, her growing worse
instead Of better, according to the
records. This unfortunate state
of affairs should not be permit
ted to continue and the sooner
this great state awakens to the
fact that her crime record is a ma

capital be attracted here and the

Be it said to their credit, the aver
age Americas girl is not aking stock
in the crinoline craze to any great
extent, though occasionally one thus
attired is to be seen on the streets.
Women must have been superlative-
| ly modest when crinoline was most
popular. That style of dress is ad-
mitably adapted to hiding, not dis
playing, the beauty of the figure. Ire
Americas girls are too pretty to long
adhere to a style which makes them
like so many peas in a pod.
An alarm of fire sent in last
night carried the depaRtment out
that way at lively pace. The fire
was in the kitchen on the premises
of j. N. Garter, Taylor street, and
was caused by the explosion of a
kerosene lamp.
Cashier NJ. B. Campbell, of the
Bank of Americas, received a magni-
ficient St. Bernard dog by express

POSSESSIONS
By Berton BraIey

Much time and toll I've given for .,.....
The things that l have striven for,
My car my Clothes the little cash own;
Possessions imperial
But sold and material,
Which give to life a certain dulcet tone.
I like to have and them all
And yet if l should lose them all,
Still | could smile and watch my wealth DEPART .E
Let worldly chattels stray from me-
But Fate, don't take away from
The little dreams deep hidden in my heart!
Oh poverty's joke at all,
l don't like being broke at all,
I'm very fond of comfort and of ease;
/ dread their loss most fearfully
Yet could bear it cheerfuly
And start again them by degrees;
Lies pretty bleak and bare withal
To one who lacls the whcrewithal,
know, because I've often made the test
But not wall you'll catch from
If fortune doesn't snatch from me
The little dreams deeps hidden in my breast.

Zone has heard a great deal Of

But tell US about this man

EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS
NOBODY'S BUSINESS.

The scandalous assault upon
American sovereignty by rum
smugglers seem to be nobody's
business.
The matter is not officially be-
fore the State Department.
1t has not been officially brought
to the attention of the British
Government.
So far as we know, nothing is
being done about it and nothing
is in prospect in regard to it.
Months ago the United States
Government proposed to the Bri-
fish Government that police juris-
diction be extended to twelve miles
from shore. The British Govern
ment did not find assent to this
proposal advisable but voluntarily
assured the United States Govern
ment of cordial cooperation in cur
bing rum smuggling
There has been no cooperation.
So far as we know, no coopera-
ton has been asked.
Why?
Should not the British Govern
ment be taken at its word and be
given the opportunity to do the
decent thing? Is there any reason
to belive that would not immed-
lately, if properly approached,
formulate with the United States
Government, a program which
would wipe out this irritating and
dangerous international abuse?
There is no justification for
blaming the British Government
for state Of affairs which it has
not been asked to correct or to as
sist in correcting.

lieve that if the United States
were to deal in drastic fashion

MUCH NUTRIMENT
IN HUMBLE TURNIPS.

C. c. Brantley, editor of the
Valdosta Times has decided to take
a hand in the "saner eating" cam
paign and he says there is as
much nutriment in Georgia tur-
nip as there is in Minnesota whole
wheat and is time the humble tur-
nip, root and branch came into its
own.
Mr.. Brantley says the Georgia
turnip "has IRON, strychnine, Wit
amines and the caloric qualities
that the human system Aeeds to
make it strong and healthy"
Royal Daniel, editor of the Quit
man Free Press, in discussing the
subject says;
"Turnips by all means; corn
bread with the bran siftings put
back in; Georgia peanuts instead
of western meats; Georgia figs in
stead of California figs; Georgia
has all her folks need to keep
them healthy and Georgia can
raise all the whole wheat" she
needs, too, instead of shipping it
from Minnesota. There are many
of the older farmers in Brooks
and Lowndes counties now who
remember when these countries
raised all the wheat they needed"
