FRANK C. BELL

In the death of Frank G. Bell, president and
manager of the Savannah Morning News
Georgia has lost one of it's foremost publishers
and South Georgia one of its best friends IN
the promotion of its material and cultural de-
velopment. Wherever the Morning News cir
culates, in the home of the banker, merchant
farmer or industrialists, the work of the la
mented publisher has been appreciated fol-
more than generation.
Frank c. Bell has made of the Morning
News journal recognized for it's fair news
columns it's strong editorials in the upbuilding
of Georgia's resources and the betterment OF
the condition of the people living within its
sphere of influence. No man has done more
along these lines in the field of journalism in
the South.

Monuments or Markers

There is great diversity of opin-
ion on the proper marking of grave.
Too often the massive monument
placed on the last resting place of a
loved one is all out of proportion to
the means of the bereaved family,
and inspires almost the opposite sem
timent than intended to friends and
acquaintances. Sometimes the too
ostentatious display of sculptured
marble seems but the expression Of
primitive minds. By contrast we re-
member the criticism offered on the
headstone of the first Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson's grave and note that the
Coolidges have planned for their SON,
Calvin, Jr.'s grave a simple marker
in keeping with those on the others
in the family lot, stone about
eighteen inches high, foot wide and
five inches thick with rolled top and
raised letters.

DIPPING WILL CURE
HORSES WITH NANCE

Atlanta, Ga.-Mange, one of the
most injurious diseases affecting
horses, may be cured by dipping the
animals in lime-sulphur dip or in a
nicotine solution, it has been learned
here from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Efficacious
dips for horse lice are the arsenical,
coal-tar creosote, and nicotine dips,
it was said.
The most frequent means of infes-
tation with lice, the department said,
is direct contact with lousy animals.
The parasites are carried from one
animal to another on curry combs,
brushes, harness, saddles and other
equipment. Lice on horses increase
very rapidly during cold weather
when the hair on the animals is long,
but when the horses shed their hair
in the spring the parasites seem to
disappear. None of the dips for
treating horses can be depended upon
to kill all the lice at one dipping, the
| department said.
The "nits" or eggs which survive
the first dipping produce new gen.
Grafton of lice. This new generation
should be destroyed by a second dip
ping as soon as Matching is completed
and before the young lice become ma
ture and begin depositing eggs, it was
advised. Two dippings with an in
terval of from fourteen to sixteen
days can usually be relied upon to
eradicate both sucking and biting
| lice. 1t is advisable to dip the ami
mails in the fall before the coming of
cold weather. Biting lice can be
eradicated with sodium fiuoride ap-
! piled in the form of a powder or
mixed with water in the proportion
of about one ounce to one gallon, it
was said.

Attorney Boatright
Moves Headquarters

Savannah, Ga.-This city will be
future headquarters for F. w. Boat
right, United States attorney for the
Southern District of Georgia, and he
will move here on October 1, accord
ing to information received here
Monday. Instructions to move his
headquarters follow creation of the
new Middle district of Georgia, for
which Macon will be headquarters.
Headquarters for George M. Nc
Leod, United States marshal, for the
Southern district, were established
here Monday. Mr.. Mcleod was ac-
companied to his new headquarters
by Thomas Prince, chief deputy, and
Carl Mcleod. PC. Cornell, another
deputy, under Mr.. Mcleod, is expect
ed to reach Savannah soon.

CIVIC NEATNESS

If you go to some places where public
event is occurring in the open air you see no
sign of disorder. At band concert in park
or open space in such towns for instance, you
will note that few if any of the people have
dropped loose paper or refuse around on the
grass.
And yet in many places after such an event
it would take cleaners several hours to pick up
the litter the people have heedlessly thrown
around.
Such contrast shows how much more spirit
of neatness some people have, and how there
are many who seem to have no idea of their
obligation to help care for their public places.
After seeing the rubbish that people will
leave around in many places it does seem as if
the human animal was good deal of pig in
many cases.

A QUIET PIG PEN

When the trough is full of pig food you
hear little squealing in the pen-the pigs are
busy and contented. When wages are high
and jobs plentiful you hear little discontented,
radical talk that organized capital calls Dol
shevism." Motormen and switchmen on a
New York subway wanted more money and
should have had it. They were forced to work
seven days week to earn $38, not enough to
pay rent and feed family at New York prices
They struck, were thoroughly and promptly
beaten by the corporation, and few were
beaten by the police. Now they march hum
bly, back to their jobs, glad to get back. They
struck at the wrong time. Men can't win a
strike unless other men sympathize with them
Wages are high, the crowd is in a hurry to get
home and start the radio. This is not good
time for strike.

The "Tears of St. Lawrence"

A shower of meteors makes reg
ular appearance for three nights
around August 10 and because this
approximates the death by martyr
dom of the Catholic Saint Lawrence
they were in past ages dubbed "the
tears of St. Lawrence" Astronomers
at the different observatories in the
country saw the display which is
brightest at the early morning hours
when most people are asleep. A sup
position is held that the meteors are
pieces of broken-up comet which
seems to be dissolved at a certain
point in its path. 1t is always a mys-
terry where the particles fall or on
the other hand when meteoric ore is
found where it came from. Though
of terrible weight and often of con-
siderable size there seems to have
been no accidental death recorded
from the falling of these masses large
or small Their character is well
known and reveals by the charred
condition the fierce heat they have
passed through.

BURY THE STALKS

Now it is urged that tobacco stalks-as we'll
as the cotton stalks-be turned under; to re-
plenish the soil and to head off insect pests.
Cotton stalks are to be turned under to save
the next crop from the weevil, for that pest,
though in spots not as destructive in South
Georgia as in former years, is still the big men
ace. Along with this pest is the cotton flea
and other new enemies-and turning in the
cotton stalks early will heao of new crop of
the new menaces. The agricultural truth is,
according to those who know best, that all
vegetable matter that can be turned back to
the soil is not only beneficial, but distinctly
protective against insect damage for the next
year-Savannah Morning News.

GET YOUR CHILDREN READY FOR
SCHOOL.

School days are just around the corner for
the hundreds of youngsters in Fitzgerald.
Are they physically fit to meet the work
which the fall school program has outlined for
them? This is a question the parents must an
swer. Give it serious thought.
Have the family physician examine each
child and determine whether he or she is ca
pable of meeting the daily grind of the school
room.
Fitzgerald parents must meet this important
issue now as neglect may retard growth, ply
sical suffering and probably the loss of time in
school.

YOUTH

Today is dedicated to youth. He stands at
the foot of HILL eager to begin the ascent.
And instead of turning the spotlight on the
bumps, which he knows are there, let us give
him glimpse of the sunlit places that lay be-
yond. 1t is no occasion for presenting a
gloomy prospect intended to subdue his ego.
1t is time for cheers and perhaps even lit
tie stimulant for that egotism which, after all
is force, when not abused, to reckon with.
We suppose the time will never come when
the average woman won't get mad is she has
to stop reading to thread needle for her hus-

Summer Diversion

With large crowd of visitors in
the city Thomasville has arranged
for dancing every Thursday night,
using old time square dancing and
old time fiddling and calling. The
dancing takes place on prominent
business street, which is roped off for
the dancers. The entertainment
proves very attractive to the country
people who come from miles around
to watch or to participate. This kind
of dancing even though performed on
the street is of much higher moral
tone than the hugging, necking kind
that is more up to date.

Convention Without Talking

A convention of the deaf and

ever, in Washington. 2. 6 last week
1000 deaf mutes h;.l "c- : success
full meeting, with speeches, songs and
business all carried out by signs.
Even a dance was enjoyed as side
attraction, the music being felt by
the dancers in the vibrations of the
ballroom floor. The rhythm was said
to have been faultless. Committee
work with state legislatures was re-
ported on the subject of eugenic laws
which forbid marriage of deaf mutes
and laws which forbid operation Of
automobiles by the deaf. These laws
are held by the deaf to be discrim-
inatory without sufficient grounds.
They claim that 80 per cent of chill
dren born of deaf mutes are normal
in speech and hearing. They claim
that the usually sharp eyes and other
alert senses of the deaf compensate
for failure of hearing in driving.
Some progress in these appeals was
reported from several states.

.EDDE'I'I'ES
ON
\ THINGS
Woman and Citizenship
. - By M;

A woman's magazine has been con-
ducting a survey of women's political
activities throughout the country to
learn if women are using the fran
chise or lying down on the job as
voters. In the older suffrage states
it is found that women vote in larger
proportion than in those where their
vote has been more recently acquired,
often in rural districts outnumbering
the men. And in these states, too,
the women are more Independent in
casting their vote as to criticism or
suggestion. They are usually for
prohibition. The women are not as
regularly lined up with parties as the
men and will not for party reasons
support flagrantly unfit candidate.
They set higher standard for pub
hc service and party leaders are be-
ginning to feel this influence and too
often fear it. The aspiration of wo-
men to public office is most often to-
ward those places which control COM
munity benefits and those of special
value in the minds of women such as
membership on school boards, city
councils and departments of public
welfare particularly those of child
welfare and labor commissions and
dealing with moral and health condi-
tions of the community.
They have no apparent ambition to
displace capable men but rather to
cooperate in making strong tickets
with the best men and women of the
community to direct public affairs.

Day Of Days
When Labor
Celebrates
Power of the TOiler Is Made
Manifest to the
World

Its observance has been a duty or
which the representatives of organized
labor at least have entered earnestly
and devotedly. They maintain the
honor of their cause when they re-
fuse to allow the demands of their
several callings to interfere with the
celebration Of the day. With the
grand example which they have set
to the mass of the unorganized, and
with the spirit of hberality which
they have forced into operation as be-.
tween employer and employe, we may
look forward to some day in the fu-
ture when all the people will be
found celebrating the event and en-
joying the opportunity for rest and
recreation which it affords.
The demands of the industrial toll
ers are not made on their own be-
half. Christianity itself has set its
seal of approval on them. Church
and State alike agree that under the
prevailing order the rewards which
come to them as the result of their
labors bear no true, human relation
ship toward the gain in all the ma
terial essentials to happiness which
COIH0S, dS TIE fVSulC OIL IIOSe ldDOTS,
to those who hire them.
Labor Day of all days is the one on
which the world should realize the
injustice of which the toilers have
been made the victims at every stage
of society's progress toward better
things. 1t is the day, too, when the
power of the toilers shall be made
manifest to the world.
The process is slow; the hearts of
the toilers weaken; their spirits fail
under the burdens of want, of toll
and of sorrow which are placed upon
them. But by the inspiration we de-
rive from Labor Day and by the sub
lime spirit of human cooperation and
love which our cause calls into being,
future generations may hope to see
in operation even the Millennium it
self-the day when the Brotherhood
of Man and the Fatherhood of God
will be something more than mere
catch words, and the Christian max
i'm "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself"
will be universal in its application

HISTORICAL FLAGS OF
SPECIAL INTEREST

In the office of the secretary Of
war at Washington are three Amer
lean flags that are of great histori-
cal interest. They are the garrison
flag, which floated over Fort Sumter,
South Carolina, during the lombard
ment of April 1913, 1861; the flag
which enveloped the body of President
Lincoln on the journey from Wash
ington to Springfield, in April, 1866,
and the garrison flag flown over
Fortress Ehrenbreitstein, Germany,
which was lowered with appropriate
ceremonies at noon, January "a, 1923,
marking the end of the operations of
American military forces in Europe
after the World War.

Centuries before the railways,
the automobile, the trolley car and
the airplane, and all sorts of high
wavs of earth and air, the Great
Lakes were the highways and
canoes the vehicles for the explora-
ton and conquest Of what is now
the interior of the United States.
Leaving Quebec and Montreal-or
from other places-the great La
Sale. Pere Marquette, Radisson,
Etienne Brule, Hennepin and
Mackenzie, a gallant crew of ex-
plorers and adventurers, passed
through the Great Lakes on their
way to found Illinois, Indiana and
other states of the middle west.
La Sale who went from Quebec to
the mouth of the Mississippi and
padded his way back, made the
Great Lakes and the Mississippi
his highways. He, and his daunt-
less friend found, and lost, an en-
pire.

early explorers are done away
