COMMUNITY SUICIDE

One of the strangest phenomena witnessed
in most towns and small cities is the apparent
eagerness with which many otherwise good
citizens contribute to the tendency to commit
community suicide.
These citizens will often show uncommon
zeal in boosting any movement to obtain civic
improvements to promote the location of new
industries, to secure better educational facili-
ties, and 50 on Yet many of these same proud
boosters will deliberately engage in practice
which nullifes their otherwise laudable
efforts and wonder why their town doesn't go
ahead.
We refer to the suicidal habit of buying
away from home.
The enormous growth of the mail order hab-
it in recent years is largely responsible for the
failure of many communities to make the pro-
gress which their actual advantages should
make possible. The money that ought to be
kept at home for the expansion OF local trade
and industry is sent away to distant cities,
never to return. This lifeblood of prosperity
is permitted to ebb away, through the indiffer-
ent or thoughtlessness of the very persons who
should set an eample of local pride and loyalty.
A trifling saving here and there, usually
more imaginary than real is sufficient to cause
the average citizen to forget his duty to his
community and to himself which if performed
would mean more in the direction of local
prosperity than all his other boosting efforts
put together.
Why boost in one direction, while COM
hitting community suicide in another?

Thrift

There is another element in thrift
besides the art of saving money. 1t
is also the art of making the most of
everything in ones self and in ones
environment, or it may be the art of
correlating ones desire and effort in
such a way that satisfaction may be
obtained under the conditions of life
in which one finds himself. Money
was not the only thing to be conserv-
ed with wisdom~in Frcai i;r'a opinion.
Time is even more prec-Jul than ma
terial things and many are the axioms
he expressed regarding its proper use.
"Dost thou love life? Then do not
squander time for that is the stuff
life is made Of" Zone today is worth
two tomorrows." "Be ashamed al
ways to catch myself idle" "All
things are easy to industry; all things
difficult to sloth." Industry and pa
thence and the surest means of plen-
ty." Something to possess A true
friend ~. '4 s me best possession" Some
thing to owe: "To God we owe fear
and love; to our neighbors, justice
and character; to ourselves, prudence
and sobriety."

Thrift Week
. ~ By M

Though not lacking other memo:-
ials, Benjamin Franklin is honored
most greatly by the observance of
Thrift Week which includes his birth
day anniversary and perpetuates his
special principle held as necessary to
make good citizens and happy homes
and prosperous communities. Frank
lin was not the only one of our great
men who advocated thrift. Many
others who stand for success in the
greatest sense of the term have put
themselves on record in answer to
the question as saving necessary"
In acknowledgement of this principle
we have a national movement foster
ed by the Y. M. C. A. and endorsed
by AT organizations of America to
teach thrift to every man, woman and
child in the United States. An edu-
cational campaign of a week each
year is an American plan of reaching
the masses. The schools and news
papers carry the message farthest
though all kinds of methods are en-
ployed by organizations to interest
all people in the subject.

SON OF BISHOP
SEEKS DIVORCE

Atlanta. Ga.-John C. Gambler, son
of Bishop Warren A. Gambler, senior
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, has filed suit in De-
Kalb county against his estranged
wife, Mrs. Henrietta Hammond Can
der, seeking a divorce. He alleges
in his petition that she is believer
in what is commonly known as free
love" and that she possesses an I'M
comfortable temper.
Thes nit alleges that the defend
ant professed to be a Deliver in what
is commonly known as free love, and
that in furtherance of this alleged be-
lief, she disregarded all social ameni-
ties or standards of decency and per-
sisted in carrying on flirtations with
other men to such an extent as to
cause petitioner great humiliation
and when he undertook to remon-
strate She would become enraged and
tell him it was her purpose and in
tent to do anything she saw fit"
Mr.. Gambler asks for the custody
of their two children, Adelaide Mar
tin, 16, and Florrie George, Is. The
couple was married in April 1910. at
Baltimore and separated in Novem-
Der. 1925. the suit states Mrs. Cand-
Ter and the children are now resid-
ing in Baltimore, her former home
The case is set for the March term

Children Enlisted

The Stone Mountain Memorial is
not the only one to establish roll
for children. The Edward Mcdowell
Memorial being preserved at the
Arts Colony at Peterboro, N. H., in
cludes the original log cabin work
shop of Mcdowell and for the preser-
walton of this particular part the help
of the children over the country has
been sought in small contributions of
nickles or multiples thereof. Per-
haps tens of thousands of donors will
have been found to have taken a
small part in this subscription through
the junior music clubs of the national
federation of music. In April will
be held the biennial convention OF
this body, meeting in Chicago and
here will be displayed the names OF
the children who have had even the
smallest part in the memorial. Funds
sufficient for the need are expected
to be in hand at that time.

Pleasures OF Farm
Aided by the Radie

Atlanta, Ga.-Farm pleasures are
being revolutionized it has been
pointed out by officials of the Geor-
gia Department of Agriculture.
The United States, reports received
by the department show, is fairly
blanketed with radio service so that
the farmer, anywhere and everywhere
merely has to choose and tune in on
what he likes best. With super-power
stations and with connections with
other big broadcasting stations of the
country, such as the Atlanta Journal
has provided, this will be increasingly
true.
After the days work, when the sup
per dishes are cleared away, the agrl-
cultural department officials show,
the farmer and his family can gather
around the open fire, as is being done
now, and listen to the music of grand
opera, conscious the while that the
voice of the prima donna reaches
them by radio before it is heard in
the diamond horseshoe, or in the back
row of the orchestra circle, for such
is the speed of the radio as compar-
ed with the speed of sound waves.
Radio experts in Atlanta take the
position that the radio has greater
application to the farm and farm life
than perhaps to any other phase of
national life

Use More Cotton

What a pity that our southern
states did not concentrate on a drive
for the greater consumption of cotton
as their observance of Thrift Week.
We are all so constituted that a
drive, interesting numbers of people
at the same time, can put things over,
that individuals are too timld to car
nv out alone, no matter how good the
object or easy the plan may be. And
in the matter of dress, women are
ONLY to be moved in the masses or by
leaders of unquestioned social au-
thority. Suppose some OF these So
ciety arbiters of the capital cities OF
the south would start fad wearing
only cotton hose with sport clothes,
and it would be sensible and much
prettier for most people than sheer
white silk hose, they would soon start
a fashion, that would serve two good
purposes-economy and conserva'
ton of cotton. These leaders could
soon have southern women wearing
sheer cotton and lace trimmed lin
gerie again if they would set about II
and that would mean something toe
for the cotton trade. Bed and table
cotton" might for time be a pa
triotic substitute for linen and pretty
cotton spreads and draperies displace
synthetic silk. Women could helr
use worlds of cotton if sentiments OF
conservation could outweigh notions
of present extravagant daintiness
The market is now flooded with ar
ticles made of cheap silk or synthetic
silk that does appear very attractive
but has no wearing qualities at all
All of us deplore the situation, bu'
would be so beneficial to many prac
teal interests. Who will make the
Just few can make change tina
first move?

Autos Strike Trains
Safety Experts Say

Atlanta, Ga.-Railway safety ex-
perts in Atlanta, in statements made
public here, hold that the increase
in the number of accidents at grade
crossings is due to automobiles strik-
ing trains, not trains striking autos.
This, they claim, is clearly shown in
the Investigations made by many such
disasters. In a majority of cases, it
was, they say, the automobile, reck-
lessly or carelessly driven, that ran
into the train on the crossing.
A campaign has been inaugurated
in some sections of the country
which will soon reach here, it was
statedo, to educate motorists not to
run into trains. The campaigns are
under the auspices of the railways
and safety organizations.

What Will 1t Do?

One Canadian boy of II will be en-
riched $4,000 of the Wrigley prize
for swimming the San Pedro channel
at Catalina Island, terrible strain
of nearly sixteen hours in very cold
water. How severe was the test, and
how extereme was the effort is shown
by the failure of 1902 other expert
swimmers from all parts of the world
to make the crossing. We wonder If
the prize is all gain to the winner
himself. If his excessive strain has
injured his body in any way he is the
loser after all. Undoubtedly some of
those who persisted until nineteen
hours will suffer permanently from
the strain. Two women who battled
the longest were given $4,000 each in
lieu of the $4,000 they had hoped
to win by being even second to a
man winner.

MAY BE DIFFERENT, BUT MORE
RELIGION

The notion held by certain group OF people
that the churches have been losing ground OF
late should have suffered severe jolt when
the results of the recent national religious poll
taken by the newspapers were printed.
constant increase in church afflliatlon IS
indicated by the poll. Just after the close
of the Revolutionary War, less than seven per
cent Of the people belonged to church. Now
the poll shows that more than forty three per
cent of the people now subscribe to some faith
or other.
There seems to even by a rising tide OF NOR
ality sweeping over the land although some
among us believe none of the heather courts
were more irreligious than we are in the
United States.
Perhaps there has been falling off in fer
vor among many of the church members but
there are grounds for believing the decline
has been chiefly in the old-time fanatlclsm
and sectarian intolerance. No cause exists for
weeping over the total loss Of either of these
enemies of true religion.
The polls served as an answer to the clam
by agnostics that organized religion is on the
decline. The results were generally the same
in all the cities in which the poll was taken
Even in New York, commonly termed God
less City, the believers outnumbered the non
believers.
