When you shop early and mail early
you are helping the clerks in the post
office toEeat their dinners home and
you are greatly beneftting yourselves.
You have greater chance to secure
better selection of gifts from the
stores; you have more time to wrap
them securely and you are sure that
they will arrive at their destination in
time to be opened Christmas morning.
You are also relieving the burdens
on the clerks behind the counters in
the stores, and you are giving prac-
teal demonstration of the good will
that Christmas time signifies. Post
master Al Kleindienst requests that
you refrain from using small en-
velopes in sending your Christmas
cards as this very greatly retards
the sorting and distribution of the
mails. Let all of us pull together
this year, do our shopping early and
do our mailing early, let's make it
genuine old-fashioned Christmas
celebration.

EDUCATION IN BUSINESS

ESTABLISHING man on a higher
plane of efficiency thus enabling
him to carve out a place in the busy,
throbbing business world where SER
vice and competence will earn their
just reward, is having more and more
attention from the large mercantile
and industrial organizations through
out the country.
The old way of measuring a mans
qualification by the extent of his ply
steal endurance, has passed out of
use in the big, progressive institu-
tions of today. A notable illustra-
ton of the eXpediency of man train
ing is found in the selling organiza
ton of the local J. C. Penney COM
pany store.
This nationwide institution of de-
partment stores with it's 81 cooper
ating member stores, not only looks
carefully to its man power but in
very definite way, trains men and
women in all the requisites of sue
cessful merchants and salespeople.
The company has long maintained
an educational department and bust
ness training course which are in
strumental in creating a desire in the
minds of it's associates for advance
ment in the higher ideals of service
to one another and to the public at
large. 1t materially helps them to
attain that desire.
Therefore, it is quite natural that
the o-partner-manager of this great
organization should assemble at At
lantic City next month for a four-day
inspirational convention when man
building, self-building and the man
power in business will be discussed
by some of the most able speakers
in the country.
Our fellow townspeople, Manager
and Mrs. R. L. Champion, of the local
j. C. Penney company store, will at
tend the convention, leaving with
others of the company from this state,
aboard special Pullmans about Janu-
airy 18th.

Is strangled by old Wrong.-Russell.
0Ne of the worlds greatest leaders
" of men is gone. Samuel Gompers,
that stalwart champion of the weak
has passed to his reward. To him
midnight-that strange mistic hour
when the veil between the frail pres
ent and the eternal future divides,
has come. But his spirit will live on,
to inspire others in the noble work
so ably begun and carried on, for
almost a half century by him.
Few men have held the hearts and
minds of their followers as has Sam
uel Gompers. To him belongs the
title of the truly great.
Only such fearless souls as his can
command and hold the confidence of
such a large and loyal following as
was his for a half hundred years.
Samuel Gompers was born seventy
four years ago in England, and mi
grated, with his parents, to the United
States at the age of 10. He finished
his apprenticeship to the cigar makers
trade at the age of fourteen, and was
one of the organizers of the Cigar
makers International Union in this
country and it's first registered mem
Der.
His national career began with his
election to the presidency of the
American Federation of Labor, in
1881, and continued to his death with
the exception of one year, when the
late John Mcbride, who was resi-
dent of this state for many years, was
elected as president Samuel Com
pers was a foe to the enemies of
good government and was ever found
in the front, leading his men on to-
ward success in trade unionism, with
out regard to politics or social inter
lopers.
His unwillingness to compromise
when he thought he was right, his
aggressiveness in the cause of labor
and his rare conservatism, were the
three strong features of his stormy
career. He was a fighter of the mo
quarter asked or given" type. And
his fighting was not directed alto
gether against the employing class.
He stood with drawn sword at the
door of union labor and opposed the
enemies of trade unionism with I'M
daunted zeal. He was a worthy foe
to those who would destroy the es-
tablished order of government or So
ciety.
His opportunities in early life were
limited and his life is an extraor-

DON 7 PUT ALL YOUR.
EGGS IN ONE BASKET
Civic Leaders Urge Program Of
Community Diversificstion In
Order to Secure Prosperity

ATLANTA, May 22,-Real Di-
versificaton in agriculture and in
dustry is not merely sort of fire
escape from an unfavorabIe situa-
ton, but IS a sound economic policy
that should be adopted and carried
out permanently as a means of
maintaining what might be called a
constant level of prosperity.
This IS the opinion of the experts
of the Georgia Department Of
Agriculture as expressed today in
discussing the farm outlook.
The old saying Don't put all
your eggs n one basket is accept
ed as pretty sound advice, and al
though some wiseacre is said to
have replied that he did not put all
his eggs in one basket, but watched
that basket, it is a good rule never
the less that several varieties of re-
sources contribute to more constant
prosperity" said j. ]. Brown, COM
missioner of agriculture.
Commissioner Brown pointed to
the fact that if the people produce
principally only one crop, or operate
principally only one industry, lean
years that are bound to come in
those particular lines will hit hard.
But if we have several varieties
Of industries or several principal
agricultural crops" said the COM
missioner, at is hardly likely that
all of them will suffer at the same
time"
Atlanta business men, manufac-
turers and civic leaders here take
the position that the entire state
should lock and work to a really
constructive program of greates,
diversifieation in agriculture and
industry alike. The opinion was ex-
pressed that the state should strive
Systematically to develop major re-
sources along a number of lines.

been much talk of diversification.

Clean Kidneys
By Drinking
Lots of Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if
Bladder Bothers or
Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may pro-
duce kidney trouble in some form, says
a well-known authority, because the
acids created excite the kidneys. Then
they become overworked, get sluggish,
clog up and cause all sorts of distress,
particularly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches. acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots of good
water and also get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for few days and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for years to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity; also to neutralize the
acids in the system SO that they no
longer itritate, thus often relieving blad-
der disorders.
lad Salts can not, injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and'then to help keep
the kidneys and urinary organs clean,.
thus often avoiding serious kidney dist
orders. By all means have your physaa
clan examine your kidneys at least twice
a year. ~

SCHOOL BOARD SEEKS
POWER TO LEVY TAXES

ATLANTA, May 22.-Plans to
carry to the voters the fight for
an independent board of education
for Atlanta, with the power to levy
taxes, were announced Wednesday
night by School Commissioner w.
w. Gaines, after the scnOol board
resolution for a charter amend
ment had been rejected by the
counil harter revision ommittee on
the ground that it proposed an il
legal thing"
Under the city attorneys rui-
ing, the school board would have
to submit its proposal in the form
of constitutional amendment,
first to the general assembly and
get two-thirds vote of each house,
and then submit it to the people Of
the entire state and obtain a ma
jority of all votes cast.
The ruling of Chairman w. F.
Saunders, of the committee, reject
ing the board resolution, was made
after City Attorney James L. May
son, on request of Alderman Claude
E. Buchanan handed down an
opinion that the independent tax
levying school board plan was in

Gen. Ferrera Stands Out AS One

Army There
STEALING DISGUSTS HIM
Refuses to Abide BY Methods

Power Illegally
BY BOB DoRMAN

SAN LORENZO, Honduras MAY
22.-One figure stands out from the
welter of generals that seems to
comprise the revolutionary army Of
Honduras.
The figure is not imposing in it
self, with its rather squat figure,
its high cheek bones its flat face,
slanted eyes, and coppery skin, but
it is imposing in that from it there
radiates a sense of power, of fear
lessness, and above all, of honesty
and sincerity.
General Gregorio Ferrera has
aised himself by sheer personality
10 the leadership of the revolution.
He is a -blooded Indian, Of
the Itibuca tribe, that Mongol-ap-
pearing race that inhabts the south
western part of Honduras, and
whose history is one of the puzzles
of antiquity.
He has fought his way upward
from the state of drudgery that is
the lot Of the Indians in those Span
ish conquered countries that lie
south of the United States, until
today he is not only the first lead
er Of his country, but is known as
the finest mathematician in it, is
an expert accountant, and owns a
prosperous business in Esperanto,
one of the few large cities of Hon
duras.
The Indians of his tribe follow
him with blind devotion, and mas
much as they are the most fearless
fighters of the Honduras, he is a
power to be reckoned with.
He is known throughout Hon
duras for his honesty Even his
enemies admit his qualities-even
the reds saying Gel tiene suspualid
AIDES" Che has his qualities.)
He was one of the leaders of the
revolution in 1919 which brought
into power the government that mas
just fallen.
He took up arms because of dis
gust with the stealing of the govern
ment officials under the former ad-
ministration.
AS a reward he was made collec-
tor of the port of Ceiba, one of the
most important in the republic.
There he was known for his rig
orous honesty. Personally he check
ed the imports and exports, because

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur 1t Darkens
So Naturally Nobody
Can Tell

The old-time mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv-
ing i'll an age when youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition Of other
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" 1t is very popu-
lar because nobody can discover it has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or a soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few applica-
tons, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance of abundance which IS
