Several members Of the exclu-

The George Witherspoon Tun-

home last Wednesday evening
which was quite the cap sheaf Of
the social season. Several opera
stars contributed to the pro-
gramme on the photograph, and
although the entire neighborhood
was not invited and the list linn
tied TO an exclusive few, every
body In the block enjoyed 1t. An
infoemal dance took place after
the musicale and the neighbors
living below the George Wither-
spoon Thinkers suffered severely
from falling plaster.

When . prominent man died In

The other nine men each put

for SIS, payable to bearer. This
was the only great charitable

THE T. Langworthy Frinks,
Of Harlem and Coney
Island, have startled So
ciety and made their social posi-
ton secure for another year by
importing a gorilla for a house
hold pet. Mrs. Frink, formerly
Title Bumpus. of Schenectady,
has taken two or three drives
down the avenue with her 60
rilla and is the envy of all the
matrons, dowagers, debs, sub
debs, submarines and deep-sea
divers Of the social world. GO
rillas are popular here now be-
cause an English lady raises
them.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Bilgewater
Tope, prominent in New York
and Far Rockaway, have also or
dered a gorilla. 1t is believed
these gorillas will feel perfectly
at home in certain sections of our
set. Mr.. Tope will break his
gorilla into the bootlegging bust
ness, in which the Tope fortune
was started, away back in 1920.

Island, where she served six
months for shoplifting.
Society is all agog over the
identity of the distinguished
young Italian nobleman who has
been with Mrs. H. Delicatessen
Katz several evenings in the Katz
box at the (Harlem) Opera
House. The redoubtable Aggie
Katz is keeping society guessing.
Probably he will turn out to be
a barber from Oshkosh or Kala-
mazoo, but society is used to
that.
Among the distinguished visit
ors from abroad are Princess de
Cheese, recently Of Switzerland,
and her royal husband, the
Prince. 1t is not often our set
has a chance to entertain royalty.
Before she married into the royal
family Of Herzegovina the Primo
ess, who was Amazia Todd, whose
family made theirs in picked
feet and Amazia did not pack
much Of a wallop in society. In
fact, she was treated rather cold
ly. but society is now nuts over
her because she copied off a
prince, all of which goes to show
that we are free people and
that we care nothing for royalty,
the nobility, or their trappings.

Making Men
Beautiful
A Ii men are good, but few
n Of them are beautiful.

q a LII men are gOOus Ous 4c"
n Of them are beautiful.
However, this little mat
ter is being taken care of.
There seems to be a concerted
effort in this country to make
men handsome. That is all they
need. They have all the other
qualities.
Somebody, apparently has been
knocking US guys looks.
The manufacturer Of a corset
belt for men says: 81 will im-
prove your appearance so per
cent within five days"
But SO per cent isn't going to
do some men much good. If they
can't be improved about 500 per
cent, there is no use monkeying
with this belt at all.
The manufacturer continues:
ssYou are all wrong. Have some
respect for the rights of others
who have to look at you. Your
architecture is an awful flop.
You are all where you should not
be and where you should be, you
are not. Improve your figure
and you will improve your
salary"
Figure? Salary? Deep stuff
that. Clever advertiser.
A manufacturer of cold cream
says: Eve viii give you the fair
skin Of a Venus with ten applica-
tions Of our face lotion"
The only Venus we ever saw.
was standing in q museum. She
had very hard face. Her ex-
preston was stony. She had not
the kind of a skin you love to
touch.
One tailor advertises that,
with form-fitting clothes, such as
he makes, he could have made
John L. Sullivan look like cake
eater.
One feminine writer says:
stake a look at any crowd you
chance TO run across. Do you
zee one beautiful man in it,"
We hope not. What good IL a
beautiful man, anyhow? We
cant all be collar ads. Some of
rs have to work for living.
Furthermore, while It is true
there are no beautiful men now,
1t is also true that we can find
no beautiful men in history.
There may have been beautiful
men. but they never did anything
to get their names into the school
books. Mythology, of course,
hands US few laughs along this
line, including Apollinaris Belle
vue, but the only proof we have
Of his pulchritudinosity is a
statue and clever sculptor can
do just as many tricks with a
NEUROLOGICAL character as a
Broadway photographer can do
with a homely leading woman.
Sculptors never give their Gus
toners any the worst of It, so
We really cannot depend upon
them for historical veracity.
The great men or history
would never run off with any
loving cups in beauty contests.
They were all hard to look ut as
well as hard to beat.
Richard, the n-Hearted, was
really a coward but he won his
name by soaring them to death.
He did this by looking at them.
Richard, the Gorilla-Faced would
have described him from a stand
point Of pulchritude.
And SO these good folks who
have started the crusade for
beautiful men are playing a los
ing number.
Anyhow, IL q real man were
beautiful, he couldn't make any
body believe it, 50 what's the
use?

The reason j. that It 10 said TO

there il another reason.
Most Of the people who order
orange Juice there, do Il for the

This lays the place liable to being

cumulates the fine Ia advance. BY
making $40 on each glass Of
orange juice.

A strange thing happened thu
other day in . Long Island town
where there is q grocery man who
hasn't heard the European war is
over. he has been profteering
with increasing enthusiasm dur
Ing all the years that have fol-
lowed that sanguinary conflict.
The other night burglars looted
this grocery store and left moth
ing but the safe, the cash register,
the cheese case and throo or
four dill pickles.
Strangely, the people were not
incensed over this act Of lawless-
ness, but got up q big celebration,
including q brass band, bon fire
and speeches by well-known
victims Of the grocery and
delicatessen.
There was only one regret, and
that was that the burglars were
not present to receive the honors
Of the evening in person.
There is some talk Of put
ting an advertisement In the
papers asking them to return to
the town and visit the butcher
shop.

aiding each OF these cities in erecting suitable
High school building to include the city and
county High school pupils. In the last session of
the Legislature, such bill had passed the House
but failed to get attention in the Senate The bill
was backed by the County Board of Education
OF Dougherty county and the Board of Educa-
ton Of Albany. The purpose of the bill was to
authorize joint bond issue for school purposes
by the city and county, neither feeling themselves
able to put up the kind OF building needed for
High school purposes. Fitzgerald is very much in
the same fix and 50 is Ben Hill county and per-
haps there are other towns and counties similarly
situated. We would like to see such bill passed
this summer and have our local board Join the
county board of education in erecting building
in keeping with the Importance of this county
and ety. The@children OF the entire county aspir-
ing to higher education, should be given this op-
portunty, The civic organizations should take
this matter under consideration and secure the
necessary legislation.

clubs, all prominent in their lines
OF work, have been called to dis
cuss this new work of extension
Chief among these is Alvin M. Ows-
ley, commander of the American
Legion. The legion is reported as

erous instances have reported their
regret that similar service is not avail
able i'll their home communities.
NOTE. - This is the meeting

TRADE AT HOME-Communitie grow in

4
portion to the support given them by their resi-
dents You cannot boost Fitzgerald by trading
elsewhere placing business in other localities
that could be placed at home.
Folks who try to save pennies oftentimcs lose
dollars The home merchant is generally honest
and offers honest values for your money. He can't
afford to be otherwise. He depends for his living
from the community and must give the community
what it wants at fair price.
When you tempted to trade outside and
purchase lust as good merchandise at greatly
reduced prices" you should think twice before
buying. If you are "stung' by your home mer-
chant he will no doubt be glad to make an adjust
pent. The outof-town merchant is not personally
interested in you He is intent on selling YOU this
once and probably does ont expect to sell you
again He does not have to take great care in
preserving your good will
More than owing 1t to your community to
trade at home, thus keeping your money at home,
you should give the home merchant first oppor-
tun'ty to serve you, from a sound economic
standpoint.
