NASHVILLE EDITOR DIES

Nashville, Ga.,-The body of Foy
A. Vause, editor of the Nashville Her
aid, was sent to Mount Olive, N. c.,
Monday morning for burial. Mr..
Vause was operated on at. a local
hospital several days ago following
an acute attack of appendicitis. 1t

ness was so serious that there was
little hope for beneficial results.
During his last illness he was at

Abbie Vause, and besides these is
survived by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Vause and two brothers, all resid-
ing in North Carolina.
Mr.. Vause has been editor of the
Nashville Herald little more than
a year, going to the Berrien county
capital from Wilson, N. c. He was
widely known and very popular in
Berien county and South Georgia.
and his death is deeply deplored.
Mr.. Vause was recognized as one of
the most progressive men in his Sec
ton and his, paper was doing Won
derful work, in Berrien county.

EIGHT YEARS AFTER

Eight years ago mad world celebrated it's
temporary reason in mad manner.
November 11th, 1918 will be hard to forget
for anyone who spent it either in front trench
grown all of sudden oppressively quiet or on
Main Street in an American town grown all OF
sudden oppressively noisy.
But the lessons of November Ii, 1918 should
have taught, seem easy enough to forget.
Looked at impassionately, the world seems but
little nearer lasting peace now than it was
then. Universal brotherhood is yet only
dream.
When the Armistice was signed to end the
Greatest war the world had ever known, all
nations looked to the United States with what
amounted almost to reverence. Today this at
titude has changed. Europe has gone so far
as to nickname Uncle Same the "Shylock" OF
nations Our attitude toward European ma
tons has also undergone a change.
Throughout the world, Armsitice Day will
be observed for those who gave their lives in
the World War. These demonstrations and
these tributes are fitting But they are only
at public demonstrations where tributes will
be paid to slight return for the sacrifice these
men made.
On this November IL, we should renew our
obligation to the cause for which they died
the cause of universal and lasting peace.

SIMPLICITY OF A GOOD TOWN

Put peg of prosperity into your communl-
ty by staying with it.
Always greet your neghbors with a grasp
of confidence.
Criticize in a spirit of Godspeed.
Say good word if it hurts. Remember that
those who insist on hanging themselves will
do it if given enough rope.
Give your neighbor a right to an opinion as
long as he keeps it to himself.
Discuss questions involving your better wei
fare instead of arguing with them.
Apply the Golden Rule regardless of conse-
quences.
Back up your churches and relative affilia-
tions. You will feel better and besides are
setting good example for the young people.
Give the young people plenty of pleasure,
but see that you know what they are doing.
Failures reflect on the entire town. See
what you can do to keep your neighbor on top
of the water Don't let him drown.
Let's have more handshake and arm in arm
conferences with good will parting. 1t adds
to that days events
Let's break the shell and step out. The
world is wondering what we are going to do
next. Let's show 'em.

EGGS-AND MORE EGGS

Remember the good old days when there
were only two kinds of eggs-good and bad?
There were no shades, no variations, no par
ticular desire on the part of anyone to estab-
lish grades"
That's all changed now. chain grocery
store in New York has just added this sign to
its collection relating to eggs: "Eggs-fresh-
laid by young chicks!" The exclamation
point seems to indicate that the last word has
been said Other distinctions familiar to New
Workers are "New-laid upstate Eggs,
"Frcsh barn yard eggs Strictly fresh Wes-
tern eggs' white eggs for nvalids," and a
dozen others.
Old timers and folks who aren's so finicky
will wonder just why it is necessary to adver-
tise the age of the egg producers. A good
old hen who has led respectable life should
be able to produce as delicately favored
breakfast egg as any flapper pullet.
One sighs for the good old days when
good egg was to be eaten and bad one to be
taken out and buried.

Home Gamers

Ore of the largest developments
in an educational way in Georgia in
the ,;ast decade is the home canning
industry fostered by the vocational
department of the state university.
In fourteen years the club canning
girls of Georgia have created wealth
of S3.000,000. Each club girl did
some planting of fruit trees and
shrubs and one Sumter County girl
within four years sold vegetables,
fresh and canned, to the amount of
s796.77. A Clarke County girl par
this record with $763 receipts
for her products. These same girls
develop taste and pride in flower
gardens also and add much to the
beauty of their community and state.
If all the citizens of Georgia had
done as much for the cultivation of
natural resources with the same in
dustry and zeal that these young
school girls have done in the past
five years, the whole state would be
like a rose and cotton
slumps and hard times would not hap
pen.

The Women's Clubs Of Chicago,
which number 1870, have started a
campaign to discover and develop
moneyless genius. This will be a
philanthropic enterprise. First seek
ing out hidden talent, the second step
will be an assembling of the discover
ed geniuses for a tryout in their par
ticular lines, before committees cual-
flied to pass on their merits, eliai-
mating those of doubtful genius P,i
engagements for a demonstration Of
their talent before the 1870 clubs par
ticipating will follow as a sort O
first financial aid. After this com
mittees will decide upon entering tins
aspirants into schools for training
whether it be in art, music or drama
Also plays by unknown but ambitious
playwrights who show talent will be
produced for them as test or in
PRODUCTION. Some plays which have
merit but have not been popular will
also be produced to spread the artis-
tic idea. A memorial theater and
club is an ultimate aim of the spon-
sors of this array of genius, and an
endowment for scholarships that will
make the enterprise permanent.

Rural Women

When we remember that 80 per-
cent of Georgia's population is rural,
we see what an important thing that
efficiency of our rural women means
in the states progress. We all feel
the shame of the rank our state holds
in illiteracy. Household illiteracy is
the worst of it's ills. Fortunately, the
poorest homes are being touched now
by vocational education or home eco
nornics which is an entering wedge
arousing the family interest in an
education that makes the boy and girl
in the home able to make money by
their knowledge and skill. The child
is leading. Educating the girl in
time we educate the family. Georgia
girls are hte missionaries in the fight
on illiteracy. When we raise the ed
ucation and efficiency of our country
women we will have stronger and
greater Georgia.

LONG LIVE THE IRISH POTATO

Statistics from the federal bureau of agricul-
tura economics indicate that the taste of the
American potato eater seems to be veering
from the Irish variety to the sweet. Last sea-
son, says the report, one bushel of sweet pota-
toestoes was grown for every five and two
tenths bushels of Irish. This year the ratio
is given as one bushel of sweets to every four
and four-sevenths bushels of the Irish.
These figures might cause one to believe
that it won't be many years until the sweet
potato becomes absolute master of the table.
Sweet potatoes are mighty palatable, but
Americans will never give up the Irish hashed

First Aid to Cooks

Among the biggest time-savers and
work-savers that have come to women
since the invention of the sewing ma
chine are the products of the canning
industry and others similar that bring
the prepared food into the kitchen
in compact and sanitary way that
requires a minimum, Of time and
work to be ready fo!- tilc table. These
products being avs ilat;e ct al seasons
of the year also give the menu that
balanced variety that is 81 urgently
advised by dieticians these days. By
being fore-handed in the purchase of
her goods, no housewife need be en-
barrassed by the unexpected visitor
at mealtime. An emergency shelf
should nicely provide a full meal if
necessary. Canned goods are cheaper
bought by two or three cans or a case
at time and prove very convenient
in any stress when meals must be pre-
pared quickly. The vitamine quail
ties are hardly less in canned goods
than in fresh products and are in ex-
cess of those poorly prepared by poor
cooks in the home. This is Canned
Food Week and the women who buy
these foods are as interested in the
sales or demonstrations as are the
manufacturers and retailers. for it
means much in economy of their time
and money that such products are
available.

corporation who has just observed his 80th
birthday remarks that he is convinced that
there is no need for any business slumps al
any time Many of us here in Fitzgerald will
agree with him, and will ask why we need to
have every few years these distressing periods
of depression?
But, to avoid them, the business man must
be enterprising and advertise his goods, for
business will lag unless people have push and
60 ahead spirit.

The Worlds Big Buyers

Big Business has been until very
recently the sole domain of man,
yet it is seen by the figures that wom-
en- are now and have long been the
worlds largest buyers, and from this
proposition we will soon get the de-
duction that after all homemaking
may be the biggest business. Notice
the figures. Women buy 50 percent
of all the food products. 81 percent
of all the dry goods and clothing,
48 percent Of all the household fur
nishings. and 48 percent of all the
drugs. We knew before that the
foundations of the home rest on
woman but we seem about to discover
that she is a fairly strong prop to
business as well.

Radio Influences Occupation


Five years ago more than half the
farmer boys attending college were
planning to remain in the city when
they would finish their course. Ac-
cording to an eminent educator radio
has changed this situation. Not only
has the requirement of the radio as
a home entertainer and educator
made country life more attractive but
the remuneration for selling and in
stalling radio sets - Interested
thousands of the cou".:'i -. Also
those studying electrical construction
and engineering see great field for
their work in the rural districts Sc
that now fully half of the country
bred boys are expecting to return to
the country and attempt to modernize
the farms with electric equipment Of
which labor-saving devices has form
ed so large a part of the more recent
inventions. The boys are actually
helping their families to milk, thresh,
husk corn, sew, wash dishes, separate
cream and churn with the equipment
they have learned to install and easi-
ly pick up $50 to $75 week as cleo
trical experts in their communities.

removed boys are not so anxious to

meant isolation, lack of entertain
ment, and no end of toilsome tasks

country home of the future will be
the ideal one possessing all the ad
vantages of the city home without
