The Home Merchant

The home merchant. Who is he? He is the
chap who gives you credit when you are finan-
cially broke, and carries your account until
you are able to pay
He is the chap who gives you back your
money or makes exchanges when you are not
satisfied with what you have, bought.
He is the chap who meets you at the door
with handshake, and lets you out with mes
sage to the kids" and real ''come again,
goodbye
He is the chap whose clerks live in the home
town and spend their money with you and
other local people.
He is the chap who helps support our
churches and charitable organizations and
talks for the home town and boosts for it every
day in the year.
He is the chap who visits you when you are
sick, sends flowers to your family when you
die, and follows your body out among the trees
as far as human feet may travel.
He is the home merchant-your nelghbor-
your friend-your helper in time of need.
Don't you think you ought to trade with
him. and be his friend and his helper in time
of need?
Don't you know that the growth and pros
perity of this town depend very largely upon
the success and prosperity of the home mer-
chant Out of town people judge our city by
the appearance of our stores and the degree
of enterprise shown by our merchants. And
our home merchants succeed when home folks
give them loyal support.

will no doubt meet the approval of large
section of the we'll informed men and women

and made a good showing in North Georgia.

Since those years DIR. Hardeman has become
more widely known throughout Georgia and
wherever he is known the people will flock
to his banner He is not~much of politician
but his success as a physician, banker, mill
operator and farmer on large scale, makes
him an ideal administrator for the States

especially strong to the women voters of the
state, who will find in him an able advocate
for the improvement of conditions relating to
the home and family, in health, education and

Divorce Brokers

Getting divorced in Paris is such
a frequent mission abroad nowadays
by the corrupt rich class of Ameri-
cans that professional divorce brok-
ers, more commonly French them
selves, are doing a flourishing bust
ness now beginning negotiations on
steamers going over from New York.
These shrewd brokers soon discover
prospects among the unhappy or else
the flirtatious divorce seekers, and
frequently enroll them as clients be-
fore they reach the other side. Again
they seek them out at dinner dances
at fashionabl hotels soon after arri-
val, and by ingratiating manners,
sympathy and exchange of conf
dence, they speed them on to the di-
vorce trial. Other brokers work by
advertising methods, plying Ameri-
can arrivals with offers of quiet and
satisfactory settlements of martial
differences, on the order of painless
dentistry.

Better First Look Around You

What can possess a man that he pulls up
stakes in this choice region and takes out for
the end of the Florida rainbow? We do not
inveigh against that sunny states seductive
charms; and, anyway, this is free country in
which man can go where he pleases. But
how anybody can be blind to the opportunity
lying all about him here in Georgia while he
visions in perfect clarity faraway land APP
parently bedight in milk and honey-and gold,
is beyond our humble comprehension.
Go on to Florida if you will but remember
this: The prosperity in Florida is being
TAKEN there from the outside; it is not COM
ing from within. And only that wealth which
can and does come out Of the state will regu-
late it's commercial prosperity, once the con-
dition of initiation dies out.

Crossings More Numerous

Railroad grade crossings are becoming
more numerous every year instead of being re-
duced, according to railroad man in an adj
dress last week He said that in an average
year while 7O5 old grade crossings are being
eliminated 4 ,437 are being built the volume
of increases being several times greater than
the reduction. The grade crossing is one of
the greatest problems before the American
public today, and the man who can find a So
luton of it will render a great service to
humanity. The tremendous cost makes it al
most impossible to eliminate all of them.

Children Aid Community Chest

School children were enlisted in
Community Chest work in Toledo,
Ohio, in novel way and with marked
results. Pupils of the grammar
grades were invited to visit some of
the institutions maintained by the
community budget and to write their
observations as a regular part of
their English work and WA co. ed
it's. Thirty-five children responded
and from their reports a booklet of
forty pages was compiled and Illus
trated and then used as textbook in
reading for a week. This served so
we'll as an advertising medium that
the school apportionment was passed
by 40 per cent in the general budget
and the homes, too, were stimulated
by this form of appeal to donate
more than formerly.

When Paderewski failed to include
Washington among the cities of his
American concert tour this season,
some rumors were circulated that he
held resentment against the present
administration for their attitude re-
garding the League of Nations. To
refute this idea, Paderewski has
given gracious consent to appear in
Washington in benefit performance
for the American Legion endowment
fund for disabled soldiers, and ex-
plains his refusal to appear in a mer-
cenary role, that is for his own per-
sonal gain, before the diplomats and
statesmen with whom he has had only
diplomatic relations on the grounds
Of his own sense of propriety. So it
is seen that refinement of feeling
rather than resentment was shown in
Paderewski's action.

Pirate and Pioneer

Pirate and Pioneer
The dope evil in the form of hash
eesh adulteration of cigarettes has
assumed the proportions of piracy in
the good state Of Kansas, the first
state to ban cigarettes along with Ii
quor. The dreadful thing about it is
the appalling use by school children
of the dope that is the worst known.
as its effects are often violent insan-
ity. Hundreds of acres of hasheesh
are found growing as weed all over
the state, SO that the 20~acre farm
of it discovered in New York City is
but a patch by comparison. The
weed has several common names such
as "cook's weed" "loco weed" and is
also termed "dream drug" Even on
the state penitentiary grounds it was
discovered growing and in use by the
prisoners.
