Probably no country in the world is as thoroughly
disillusoned and cynical about It's politicians as

The establishments has been long in coming, but
it is here. ss.
1t wasn't such terribly long time ago that any
man In public Office was looked up to as an oracle
Of wisdom by 80 per cent OF his constituents. His
words were accepted pearls OF great Thought
people felt that almost any congressman, almost
any city councilman, almost any mayor was u man
Of ability and vision greater than those OF the com
mon herd.
But during the last decade or two there has been
q revulsion. The American people, as the saying u.s.
began to get wise to their public servants. AM
now, instead of revering the politician as grea,
man, the average man speaks Of him az that dumb
bcn'--h he doesn't laarsher word.
This IS no ones fault hut the politicians. Their
actions have given them away

What DO You Say About This War;


Some evening when you have friends In and con-
versation lags. talk about the war that Is being
wsged all around us. What war? The war that
has on side the radio and prohibition, and on
the other the movies and automobiles with Mr..
Evcrymans purse az the PRICE Here a couple
Of thoughts on the matter:
man from a fairly good sized middle western
town visited big city and came home with the
impression that the big city OF today ie entertain
ing It's friends at home much or more than the
smaller city. This was sort Of q. revelation to
the visitor. he remembered the big city he visited
before tho war where few people entertained In
their homes, cafes and theatres were filed
Why? He asked himself sa
10 radio bringing back the great American home
But against that probability he notes that the auto
mobile today is as much part Of the average fam
lily as a kitchen. Everybody has one. Then. every.
body must be going out in automobiles But they
can't go out and be homefo,k at the same time
seemingly.
But that is just what they ARE doing, he CON
ciuded. f.a. sas. $500 b.. @..
/ b And the man considered the movies. too. He
waits In line almoet every time he goes to movie
and that tells simple story that people today are
crowding into theaters every notwithstanding Their
homes az s..
Well, thought the perplexed man. the people are
going to the movies, they go out in their automo-
biles and they stay home to hear the raido-and
that's met all! He counted numerous little parties
he had attended in the past few weeks at homes Of
his friends !
Every one Of them had round or two Of cock
tails to enliven the evening. Maybe that's an
swer to my question, he thought. Before the war,
or before prohibition, there restaurants where
people often had their parties-Or at least had their
Sunday dinners-to give the wife rest from the
kitchen. But today the Sunday restaurant is almost
IA thing of the past
Still the man hadn't settled his problem. Still he
was ready to agree that people stay at home more
today than they did ten years ago; and at the same
time 60 out more in their autos and to the movies
And II live that sort Of a routine have spent
all of my money, he unused, without having bought
books. music. or bettered myself very much What
is 1t all going to lead to? Can VIC keep up the pace?
Yes. I suppose we can. long our purse holds
on-and that depends on prosperity.
! Well, then, what happens when we have slump
Something will have to be given up-thc auto, the
| radio. the movies or costly prohibition.
That was one mans conclusion. What is yours
It's darned interesting debate.

MORE GENERAL use OF
COTTON WOULD CnEATE
A GREATER DEMAND

A return to the general use of cot
ton for dresses, undergarments, hos
iery and other things belonging tC
Milady's wardrobe is urged as one
remedy for the prevailing low price
of cotton. By getting back to the
use of cotton, it is urged, greater
demand for the staple would be ere
ated and the price necessarily would
rise in response to the demand.
Some years ago during cotton
slump, a movement was inaugurated
among Southern women to wear only
cotton garments Few of them joined
the movement They had taken up
he silk habit so strongly that they
would not forsake it.
"If the people of the country, and
especially the women, would put aside
the expensive silg for the more dura-
bic and much more practical cotton
garments, the use of cotton would
Jump to sue han extent that soon the
farmer would be repoicing, and then
the farmers family probably would
put aside cotton hosiery and cotton
undergarments to wear the more ex-
pensive silk" said an Atlanta cotton
man. at is human nature. Even
the farmer, in affluence, might be
tempted to try silk socks"
Local haberdashers here point to
he fact that it was wartime and af-
ter-war prosperity that contributed
most to the popularity of silk shirts
and socks for men, silk hosiery and
silk undergarments for women, and
the obolition in many homes of the
cotton house-dresses so familiar in
the old days. Once formed, the habit
of wearing expensive clothes is not
easily put off, 1t was shown.
Aside from the fact that return,
especially in the South, Of the gen.
eral use of cotton for wearing ap-
parel, would help boost the price of
cotton through increasing the sale of
the staple, it would be a measure of
practical economy for people gener-
ally to get back to the more modest
and less expensive materials for wear
ing apparel, according to officials Of
the Georgia Department Of Agricul-
ture.

FRICIDAIRE CORPORATION
SPENDING LARGE SUMS in
CONSTRUCTING PLANTS

Dayton, Ohio-The worlds largest
one-story factory building will be
completed December l, E. G. Biech-
Ter, president and geenral manager
of Frigidaire Corporation, has an
nounced. 1t is 500 by 24OO feet in
dimensions and will be devoted ex-
clusively to manufacturing ice cream
and household electric refrigerator
cabinets. Two hundred and fifty car
loads of wood block were required to
floor it.
This building will house the long
est straight line conveyor used in
manufacturing and the largest porce-
lain enameling plant in the world
The conveyor is 1900 feet long and
is paralleled by five other assembly
lines, each leading in straight line
from raw materials to finished pro-
ducts. Fifteen enameling furnaces
have been installed in the porcelain
department.
Approximately $20,000,000 is be
ing spent by the corporation in con
struction and equipment of new
plants. Machinery needed for ex
pansion of. compressor and cooling
coil production alone will cost SIS,
100000. Material requirements TO:

County school superintendent and
boards of education were urged by
Superintendent Land to provide au-
tomobiles where possible and escort
committees of citizens to the various
schools, especially the unsatisfactory
schools where inadequacies may be
pointed out, and to at least one con-
solidated school, where improvements
may be viewed.
The current issue of Georgia State
School Items, sent to all the school
officials and teachers in the state, is
almost entirely given over to plans
for the observance of American Edu-
cation week. The issue contains a
letter from Superintendent Land,
proclamation issued by Governor

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. rights and
patriotism day.
Tuesday-Rural school day.
Wednesday - Equal opportunity
day.
Thursday-Armistice day.
Friday-Know your school day.
Saturday-Community day.

appeal to civic patriotic clubs and
organizations to set aside their week.
ly luncheons or meetings for the dis
cussion of educational advancement,

tive support than superintendent OF
public instruction. Your state will
reflect it's spirit as its recognized edu'
4 cation; leader.
THE American Legion has nc
: greater mission than to render ser
vice to American educators and edu
cational institutions. We look upor

Americas future. 1t is our sincere
wish that you will afford US ever!
