Commonwealth

Australia lets contracts for
$l7,00O,000 worth of vessels,
as part Of a hve-year program
for an Australian-not a British
navy.
In due time Australian minis
tiers, in Washington and Tokyo,
will doubtless negotiate treaties
regarding the use of that navy.
Meantime, there is an Irish min
lister in Washington now and
steps have already been taken
for the appointment of Ca
madam one. The very word
British Empge' is no longer
used. Colony" is forgotten,
and even Dominion" is going
out. Nations" these peoples
call themselves, and refer to their
community unity as Common
wealth of nations something
little more than a league, but
much less than an empire.
Who says the world does not
still move? There are other
Declarations of independence
than that adopted July 4. 1916.

WANTS TO ABOLISH
DEAD LETTER OFFICE

The government would like to get
rid Of the dead letter office-and
could if each of US would only write
his own name and address, for re-
turn, on the outside Of the enve-
lope.
1t is simple enough. But so are a
lot Of other things that involve moth
ing but all Of US using all our sense
all the time.
We would kill few or no people
on the highways if each of us would
always be alert, sober, careful and
skilled; we would have few acct
dents in industry if each of US
would use as much sense all the time
as all of us do most of the time; the
whole of life would run smoother
II each Of us would always DO each
little thing the best he kr1ows how.
But it can't be done. Human
nature is not built that way. There
will always be people who mail I'M
signed letters in blank ENVELOPES.
Whoever is careful enough always
to write his own address ION the
envelope for return is also careful
enough to write the sending address
correctly. But you can not run lift
on the assumption that everybody
will do even the simplest thing right
all the time.

Real Progress

Forty years ago there were
about 10000 college and uni
versity students in America.
Now there are nearly half a mil
lion.
While the total population
has increased 20 per cent, the
college population has increased
700. Probably nine-tenths of
the present students are the chill
dren of parents who did not
themselves go to college. Scarce
ly one in hundred of them had
college trained grandparents.
What was only little while ago
the rare privilege of the few is
now the opportunity of all and
the achievement of multitudes.
We are carrying on the most stu
pendous experiment in higher
education ever undertaken in the
world.
We are, in our way, at last
achieving the ideal of IAN edu-
Gated democracy"

Resurrection

Experiment has been tried of
reproducing on a small scale the
conditions of life on the world
as taken as whole.
A naquarium is stocked with
balanced population of small
water animals and plants, and
then sealed up, so that nothing,
not even air, can get in or out of
it.
Life goes on, generation after
generation; the animals eating
the plants and each other; the
animals breathing in oxygen and
breathing out carbon dioxide
and the plants breathing the
carbon dioxide restoring its oxy-
gen for the animals to breathe
and storing up its carbon for
animals to eau.
The earth is such a closed cir
Gle of life. The same food ma
terials are used over and over
again; the same breath exchang-
ed between animals and plants.
The resurrection of the body is
a continuous and universal pro-
cess.

JOBS FOR FARMERS
WHOM DROUTH HIT

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 14.-Of-
fering to give some of the drought
stricken farmers employment, two
South Georgians have written the
Georgia Department of Agriculture
at the State Capitol that they can
employ number of men in gather
inging crops. Farmers from
drought-affected areas who wish EN-
ployment will be put in touch with
the South Georgians if they will
write the commissioner of agricul-
ture, he told this correspondent to-
day.
Lon Dickey, of Fitzgerald, Ca,
wrote that he can use eight men TO
begin work now and continue until
Christmas, and possibly until spring,
at $3.50 a day. He has 400 acres

Price Fixing

There is one place in the
country where government price
fixing is practiced, and it's big
success. AT least, from the
viewpoint of the thousands who
visit Yellowstone National Park
every year.
The government fixes the
price of everything sold in the
park and with the exception of
gasoline, which must be trans
ported many miles over narrow
mountain roads, the prices are
no higher than in other parts of
the country.
1t would be a grand place for
profiteers were it not for the
watchful eye of the government.
Price-hxing there makes it pos
sible for thousands to see the
park who otherwise couldn't af-
ford it.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1925-09-15

Recent reports from southern
Indiana, country famed for
canteloupes, stated that the
growers were having difficulty in
selling their crop at fifty cents
a truck load.
At the same time report was
made these same southern Indi-
ana canteloupes were selling in
restaurants at IS cents for a
half, and at grocery stores for
10 cents each.
And this within 100 miles of
where the canteloupes. were
grown.
Marketing and transportation
are still two of the great prob
lens that must be solved before
the farmer gets a justifiable price
for his products and the consum-
ing public gets value received
for its money.

lean initiative.
Unless America can take this
simple and obvious step, it is useless
to plan any other.
The court, to be sure, can not
alone make a "warless world" But
it is the most elementary step to-
wards it.
Cooperation is the olpy way to
prevent war. There is no national.
istic way to do it.
Unless the nations can organize
for peace, there will be no peace.
And so long as the richest and
most powerful nation of all refuses
to join in any international organ
ization, the rest can do no more
than half the task.
These conferees may help convert
the millions. But until the dozen
are converted, the millions are inn
potent.
That can not bA done by argu-
ment. It has not yet been done by
the platforms of both parties, the
leadership of three presidents and
the martyrdom of two, and the COM
mon voice of the rest of the world.
/ Nothing is strong enough to affect
the present situation unless it is
strong enough to bulge these few
senators.

Happy findings

The people demand happy
ending" say the movie manu-
facturers. No doubt. But does
a happy" ending necessarily
mean a stupid one.
If kingdoms must be over
thrown, cities destroyed, whole
peoples martyred and multitudes
tortured and slaughtered, all
that the final closeup may show
the right man embracing the
right girl, that is happy" only
on the assumption that audiences
have no sense of proportion.
Yet this is an exact descrip-
ton of more than one famous
film. 1t is a strange sense OF
perspective.

A study conference on "the
churches and world peace" will be
called in Washington, the first week
in December. to consider ways to-
wards a "warless world"
1t is good purpose, and the con-
ference may do some good.
1t may help crystalize the opinion
of some millions of Americans.
But the immediate situation is
that the opinion of twenty millions.
or a hundred millions, does not
count, so long as the power of in
action rests in a small minority of
the present membership of the Unit
ed States Senate.
Less than a dozen irreconcilable
isolations, but these few intrenched
in the packed Foreign Relations
Committee; a few more timid and
violating; a few Republicans toe
reactionary to follow even Republi-
can leadership forward; few Dem.
ocrats too partisan to follow even
their own platform if Republicans
approve it too-these few skillfully
manipulated, have been able, and
may be able again, to prevent the
only concrete action now possible.
They may still keep America
alone of civilized nations, out of the

principles and established by Amer

movie. Native strikers were
preparing to go on rampage
and tear up the town of johann

aide set up a movie machine and
flashed an American two-reel
comedy on a hastily improvised
screen.
Result: the wouId-be rioters
broke into roars of laughter, and
the incipient trouble was avert

This is printed chiefly because
it's such a relief to hear a good
word for the movies once in a
while. With self-appointed
guardians of the public morals
at the movies door, it's rferesh-

side.

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY

The reception service at First
Baptist church last night, extending
a welcome to the new pastor, Rev.
o. P. Gilbert, was an occasion of in
terest long to be remembered. Hun
dreds of Americas people were
there assembled and the welcome
this extended Rev. Gilbert was both
cordial and sincere.
The Americas man possessing
such rare treasure as a good cook
or even poor one, will not indorse
the plan proposed by citizen of a
neighboring town to the end of
breaking up the basket and tin

French Simplicity

The simplicity of gre t
Frenchmen is always thing that
foreigners notice. A crowd of
travellers had a good example
of it the other day at the Care
de Lyon.
Marshal Petain, who headed
the French army in the closing
days of the war and won lasting
glory for himself, was at the sta
ton waiting for the train on
which his wife was coming to
Paris. When the train finally
arrived there was an unusual
dearth of porters and Madam
Petain made a gesture of de-
spair, as she had about six big
valises and hat boxes.
But Petain the soldier, the
strategist, was not easily daunt-
ed. He got hold of a porter's
truck. piled his wifes belongings
on it and wheeled them to taxi.
Il save a tip" said the great
soldier.
Next time you start to leave
your room in the hotel, for the
dining room, put the hat back on
the bed. You save a tip. Three I
dime tips a day is 80 cents or
$2.l0 a week-if you eat three
meals. The old straw isn't
worth but about 90 cents today,
anyway.
