There Are Two Sides to
This Question

From time to time we have
stressed the economic necessity
of trading at home, placing as
much trade in the hands of our
local merchants as possible,
But there are two sides to this
trade-at-home question. No
merchant need expect home pat
ronage unless he deserves it. He
must have the goods in suffi-
cient variety Of styles, sizes and
values; he must be capable of
showing them TO advantage and
selling his customer when she
calls; he must price them fair
ly-realizing a fair profit for
himself and giving the buyer her
moneys worth. Nor is that
all.
We trade through the news
papers these days. The mer-
chant who has all else and fails
to convey these facts to his Gus
toners two or three times a
week, need not be surprised if
be fails to secure his share of the
home trade.
He should remember that his
customers are daily reading the
advertisements from Atlanta,
Macon, Columbus, Albany, for
all Of these papers come into
Americus and Sumter county
Special inducements are offered
and sales made right there.
Americus merchants are pur-
chasing fall and winter stocks
now They will be in position
to meet every demand.
Watch the advertising col
umns for their announcements.
Shop through them. Patronize
the home merchant who keeps
you in touch with his stock. If
the stock is worth buying, it's
worth advertising.

FLORIDA HAD ANCIENT

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, August 3.
The far-sightedness of Florida's
legislators of the nineteenth century

Cur Teachers

1t would be exceedingly dif-
hcult to over-estimate the inn
portant part that teachers take
in the development of the life
of the nation. They exercise
their art not on materials of this
world, which pass away, but
upon the human soul, where it
will remain through eternity.
1t is the teacher who makes
the school, who sets its stand
ards and determines its success
or failure.
1t is not too much to say that
the need of civilization is the
need of teachers. The contribu-
ton they make to human wei
fare is beyond estimation.
No, the words you have just
read are not ours. They were
recently spoken by Calvin Cool
idge, President Of the United
States.
The greatest need Of civiliza-
ton is teachers-more teachers
and better teachers. Neither is
possible so long as we fail to pay
our teachers living wage-a
salary sufficiently high to attract
and hold good men and women
in that profession.
That we are not doing in
Georgia-or Americus-today.
We may be saving a few dollars,
but it is costing our children
many hundreds Of dollars.

BUSINESS REVIVAL

A business revival IN the lat

forecastcd by an unusually large
number of industrial leaders,
bankers and economists.
They dc not regard the pres
