WHY NOT A KNOCKOUT?

McAdoo's speech at Toledo, wherein he
took up the dry banner against the Smith vets,
and started general rough house in Demo-
cratic ranks, could easily be the end toward
final settlement of whether we are to re-
main dry or go back to the refreshmenr stand.
Senator Walsh, wet from Massachusetts,
made very wise comment on the NcAdoo
speech He said: 1T is serving an excellent
purpose in preparing the way for definite
determination by the Democratic Party as to
whether it will line up with Prohibition OF
against it, 1t is an irrepressable conflict that
cannot be escaped. By throwing down the
gage of battle in behalf of the drys, the Nc
Adoo speech serves useful purpose"
There are thinking men everywhere who
ar of tn opinion that the heathiest thing that
could now happen would be for the Republi-
can party to bring the same thing to pass in
its ranks If someone like Senator Wads-
worth, New York wet Republican-or Nicholas
Murray Butler, a party factor, would force
the party to decide the issue-in presenting
a wet candidate-and insisting upon wet
plank-as Governor Smith is doing in the Dem
ocratic ranks, then we would be getting some
where It is conceded by many that there will
never be a decisive referendum in pre-con-
vention or convention decision by the Demo-

Old Folks Clubs
M ~ By M

Battle Creek, Michigan, boasts of a
ee-quarters-of- club. As
might be surmised the conditions of
membership are chiefly that of reach
ing the rs year mark There is
another similar club in Oak Park, llli-
nois, where the entrance age is 80
years. Theirs is called the Borrowed
Time Club. An eminent physician
commenting on the benefits of at
tanning long life and being proud of
it, suggests another club composed of
20 year old members who could boast
of being in active work. He asserts
it is more important to carry the
average working span of life to 20
years than to carry the average death
age to 80. He predicts that this will
be increasingly easier. First of all
birth registration will have to be
more carefully recorded, some states
like Georgia being woefully lax in
this regard. Old age ailments will
need to be better understood and
remedied, if working efficiency is to
be maintained by old people. 1t is
the prevailing notion now that we lay
the old folk on the shelf too soon and
that they rust out rather than wear
out.

Rubber Restriction

When the British began to be too
arrogant and arbitrary about the
price of crude rubber of which they
have the worlds monopoly the only
way this country had to meet the de-
mands was to curtail as far as posi-
BILE the purchase of the new product
by making the old last as long as
possible. 1t is proven within a short
time, less than year, that cam
paign along this line of rubber con-
servation has been quite effective,
The financial journals of England
are sounding warning to their coun-
trymen listing the decreasing sales by
months in which December was the
lowest of the entire year. In the
meantime American growers are get
ting busy, especially Firestone with
his immense Liberia development and
as soon as the rubber forests begin
to bear, the British will have to find
substitute market for the one they
have so long and SO oppressively held
in America. 1t was Herbert Hoover,
the great conservationist of the war
period who led off in the campaign
for restricting rubber consumption,
in his official position of secretary OF
commerce.

Americanization Films

The United States department of
agriculture has new method to teach
immigrants about the rural life OF
the country The Film Producers or
ganization has been preparing PIC
lures as a part of their Americaniza-
ton service recently instituted. Co.

many never have glimpse when once
they are caught in the wheels of IN
dustrial activities of the cities on or
near the Atlantic seaboard or else
herded droves by the train loads to
other distant cities for treadmill work
of one kind or another. Many OF
these foreigners were farmers in their
own countries and if they were al
lowed to scatter over the farm lands
of the west and the south they would
do far better for themselves and make
better citizens for the United States
than by the present method which Is
hardly less than trapping one by
industrial mills and mines and rail-
road construction work where they
are always needed.

GIVE THEM INTELLECTUAL
LIBERTY

Radicals opposed to the rights of school
teachers to intellectual liberty and free speech
received bloody nose when they went to lis
ten to President S. S. Menken of the National
Security League. He said mo man is good
enough to do another mans thinking, and
teachers, who are in the main Woodworking,
self-sacrificng, grossly underpaid public SER
wants, should not be Inundated by being de-
MED the rights of free thought and free
speech"
Isn't there a world of truth in those few
words? If any class of people should be able
to stand on their own feet, hold their heads
high, do their own thinking and have the right
to express their opinions, it is the teacher HUI
initiation such as some of our teachers through
out the nation are subjected to is bad for So

The announcement is made that
Will Hayes, whose name is nationally
known as arbiter of moving pictures,
has had his wealth appraised with the
purpose of contributing one-tenth of
the total to a fund being raised by
the Presbyterian church for minis
ters. Mr.. Hayes is an elder in the
church and if not the originator of
the movement is in hearty accord
with placing the ministry of the
church, particularly the old and worn
out preachers, upon better financial
remuneration. After the initial en-
dowment the fund will be kept up
through a nominal premium plan like
insurance, the payments however to
be made by congregations and not by
the ministers as their salaries are not
usually any too liberal.

Mercer on the Map.

Linked with the name of the pro-
fessor, Palmer H. Craig, whose recent
invention of radio contrivance that
will simplify it's construction and thus
lower its cost ultimately, Mercer Uni
versity will also be heard about over
the country where it might never be
named before. True, DR.. Craig has
been associated with the college only
year, but it has been momentous
year for him and his place of activity.
He will leave to form business part
nership with radio concern in New
York at the expiration of his cholas-
tic work with Mercer in June. His
inventive genius is said to have won
a monetary return that will approx
innate a quarter of million besides
the royalties that will be determined
by the popular use of the invention.

DAYS OF TOLL

Henry Ford, like the rest of us, wants to tell
the farmer something. Henry is little dlffer-
ent in that he proposes to show the farmer
Evidently he hopes to reach the Missouri 1ar-
mer, also. 1t is Mr.. Ford's contention that
crop and just little more harvest the crop.
He will buy a farm and demonstrate that
certain number of days will prepare the land
a certain number will plant and cultivate the
crop can be made in fifteen or twenty days.
He will do it all in fifteen or twenty days. We
believe that he can do it in less time than that
if he would SOW all his land in oats. We would
feel uneasy about him if he planted cotton or
tobacco 1t might stretch out his days of toll
quite little.
Very little will be proved by Mr.. Ford. Ma
chinery, we already know, will speed up the
work Big. pows and tractors will turn the
land But it is not shorter hours that consti-
tutes the big farm problem; it is more profits
and better living. Henry ought to be an eX-
pert in giving program for profits. We doubt
his being able to do it. If Henry Ford owned
as large a per cent of the farm lands as he
holds of the automobile industry, and if he
had fifteen years start on all the rest of u.s.
as he got in building a practical light car, he
would probably clean up He could fix the
price and make his dealers take his products
as fast as they came from the field. sys-
tenn of that kind, receiving payment on de-
livery, would be independent of Wall Street
and he would be happy, independent and rap
idly growing rich But-farming will never
be one as automobile manufacturing is done.
1t is too old game. There are too many at IT,
There are too many who can do it. If farm
ers only put in twenty days year on staple
crops, it would pay them for year, but the
next year everybody would work $50 days and
where would they be?-Moultrie Observer.

WE ARE NOT A SPENDTHRIFT
NATION

During 1926, American savings banks gain
ed almost $1,000, 900 depositors, and $780,
100000 deposits. There are now 46,762,0oO
depositors, with $24, 500, 10000 deposits.
New England has the largest percentage OF
depositors, with the highest per capita de-
posits, almost $500 per depositor. In contrast
New Mexico has but $40 per nhabitant and
Texas only 81
Some of the apparent difference in saving
is merely difference in investment habits,
and does not represent actual conditions OF
prosperity. But everywhere the savings-bank
habit grows; the vast volume of such funds
shows that the country is amazingly prosper
ous and that it has formed the savings habit
and found it good.

Latest Fashions Indeed.

With the new art of television and
transatlantic telephone, 1T is possl-
BILE for American women of fashion
to have gown made from Paris mod
els the day they are given out by the
designer. This is not such an unlm-
portant thing as might be imagined
by the world at large. All manner OF
swift conveyances of both fashions
and fabrics have been employed such
as airplane dispatch to departing I'm
ers of the latest things out. Abso-
lutely the biggest thrill that worlds
of people get, especially women, Is IN
being the first to have the latest,
whatever that may be. For them the
large dress concerns spare no money
or effort to furnish the most up to
date creations. Women in New York
will be wearing a Paris model gown
even before the Partisan woman mas
seen it. so keen are American buyers
to keep in the lead.

One Thing Lacking

In the midst of luxurious surround
ings, seven hundred passengers of the
palatial steamship, The President
Harding. suffered for three days with
out heat at sea last week. A leak in
the oil tank caused the trouble. Being
near enough the coast of Nova Scotia
that tugs could be sent as aid, the
steamer was slowly conveyed to Hall
fax where repairs could be made and
fresh supply of fuel was obtained.
The crew had to burn hatch doors to
do the cooking. So that is about oil
burning ships. Doubtless the shiver-
ing passengers had something to say
about future risks with boasted late
improvements.

IN ALL PROBABILITY NOTHING

If the good women who flock around hos
pita or a doctors office with their funny ideas
about being sick were to quit, there would
not be enough work to support more than one
or two doctors in population of some 10000
people, whereas, there are at present like 15O,-
600 doctors (regular) in the United States,
or one to every 1000 of population, including
the thousands of practitioners of various cults
and sects which purport to heal An appalling

The Wedding Ring.

Women are supposed to be senti-
mental creatures. A conspicuous
lack of sentiment is seen in the large
number who, putting style above
any other consideration, are having
their wedding rings of a former date
washed in white gold or engraved
with orange blossoms, if they do not
discard them altogether for rings OF
later models, such as the platinum
band of recent favor, sometimes
studded with diamonds as befits their
present circumstances. 1t is said
that women have so anachronlzed
their marriage symbol that 1t puts
their sons and daughters in an eX-
planatory attitude as to their paren-
tage.

Still on Shift.

Assuming that even entombed min
ers are sleeping eight hours out of
twenty-four, the Lehigh Valley COM
pany settled things amicably to them
selves by allowing the victims OF
their flooded mines who were buried
eight days, a two-shift compensation
in wages during their entombment.
The Mine Workers union contended
for three shifts pay. 1t would seem
an easier concession than a trial or
damage suits, but likely miners can
not prosecute for damages as their
life is one of such hazard that they
are required to take their own risk,
unless it could be plainly shown thta
the mining company had been culpa-
BILE in the matter of usual protection.

THE HOME TOWN STANDARD

One of the greatest forces for community
development is the feeling that ones home
town must come up to certain standard. In
place which has had good traditions the peo-
pie say that they have never done things in
stingy or cheap manner, and they object
when anything appears to be below their old
record.
When you get that feeling in city, and we
have very much of it in Fitzgerald, it oper-
ates against any conditions that is below par.
People say it is consistent with their ideals and
habits, and they will give their money and
time to improve such conditions.
