Sure enuf! There was the black
bread, but there is also white bread
and plenty Of both. And here comes
the soup-black? Yes, and after a
while the eggs and big chunk of
meat. Fair enuf thot! Many a day
have lived on less than this. / will

The Newspapers Only Advertise
Them

at takes newspapers to make heroes, SAID
Commander Rogers, on his arrival at San
Francisco, after the return of himself and his
companions from the dead.
The truth is, however, heroes must first
make themselves. There has to be real
achievement to advertise. The advertising is
necessary but only incidentally so. hero IS
merely someone who has done something note
worthy which has also interested the public.
You can make curiosity out of man by
pure advertising You can make more out OF
him by advertising something worthy Press
agents for movie stars realize this. They know
the peoples heroes become known only
through the newspapers,
And there is no greater responsibility on
the press of America. In the case of Rogers
they did good and worthy job.

This is the terrible characterize
ton of A merican colleges as spok-
en- by an eminent educator. himself
a Harvard graduate, with degree
also from Edinburgh, and a. former
professor at the University of Cali
fornia. His denunciation is not so
much of the institutions or the char
acter of the youths who seek uni
versity career to avoid work or to
defer it as long as possible at their
father's expense.
Denounced as mollyeoddles are the
boys who at graduation are unable
to speak and write the English cor
rectly, and who are said to get their
degrees because their parents have
enough money to keep them in col
lege till the professors are tired of
looking at them. This professor fur
the declares that our American ma
ton will be saved few years prob
ably by the men who could not go
to college. This argument seems at
variance with that oft quoted record
of college bred men showing large
percentage of success in the business
world, either by more numerous ex-
ecutive positions or by larger sala-
ries alone. However, our spokesman
is talking of the worlds work, the
fundamental grit, push and initiative
motive power of industry, not of
plums, pulL and prestige that fam
inly connections as much as college
training often affords in getting easy
berths. Not to do away with col
leges, but to weed out the present
weak product is the bone of the con-
tention.

Growing; Not Booming

The most encouraging feature of the pres
ent prosperity of Fitzgerald is the continuing
growth-without the Objectionable features OF
booming
No boom ever left town better off; the re-
verse is usually the result.
A good location, firm foundation, careful
building, brick by brick, stone by stone :
these are the essentials if permanent struc-
ture is to be the result of the builders efforts.
Fitzgerald has the location; it has the firm
foundation, already laid by the substantial pi-
oneers who constructed for permanence;. and
it now has the careful layers of brick and
stone-rapid workmen, but careful.
Bv this sort alone are real towns builded.

Thursday morning the State clos

Belle Mars and Lloyd Mars, daughter

to frequent threats on the part of
their father to kill their mother and
the frequent family quarrels. Ona
Belle Mars testified of a difficulty

mother having her hair bobbed and
the subsequent displeasure of their
father of the act, who attempted to
stab their mother with pair of
scissors, which she said her brother,
Lloyd, took away from the infuriat-

The State closed its case with Mr..
Cobb's evidence and the attorney for
the defense, after a brief consulta-

his statement to the jury. Mars was
on the stand nearly three hours, re-
lating his and his wife's history from
early childhood, both being raised
near Edison, Ga. Mars severely crit
icised some of his neighbors at the
mill, whom he charged with meddling
with his family affairs and bringing
on the separation of his wife and
himself. While the man made a long
review of his life, very little was said
by him which had any bearing on
the killing and he neither admitted
nor denied that he shot his wife, but
stated that he knew nothing Of what
took place after he entered the car.

Senate Stationery

1t seems there can be ethics as well
as etiquette considered in the use OF
stationery, at the least in the case
of Senator Copeland, who has arous-
ed some criticism in using Senate
stationery when writing to friends
urging them to invest in stocks OF a
company that he is personally IN
terested in.
The senator defends his use OF the
senate letter heads as quite proper
but unwittingly it may be another
straw to that growing load of oppo-
sition against the too promiscuous
competition set up through govern
ment printing to the legitimate IN
dustry of the publishers throughout
