His home city is wondering what
Harding will do in the white house.
They may well wonder what he will
try to do,
Tampa is waging war against mud‘
dogs—and up here we are waging |
war against mad men, There is :1]
reason. |
The republicans are seeking a per
manent tariff with which to combal
the exchange evils. This is a
strange method—fighting fire with
fire.
Another ministry has fallen in
France. The old Tiger might have
made a better era of it in that ¢oun
try, but they would not hear his
praises longer,
Besides having to make over the
peace treaty, the new president will
have some real problems arising out
of the clashes between capital and
labor.
Washington got a jolt in the decis
fon of the new president not to per
mit the lavish expenditures for =a
great show. Harding has started on
the way to the kind of popularity
Wilson enjoyg in the national capital.
- We dre imrpressed with the sound
ness of facts as presented by Gen.
Tasker H. Bliss before the house na

arm and quit wars for all time. This
il a good day to try that schedulc

PULL FOR BUSINESS. I
The business men of Cordele have
entered the new year with a grenl'
deal of zest and enthusiasm. They,
are already pulling for business :nnll
before long somebody will be -.nlmh'-'
ing the step of this town.
“That ig what it takes. We will ge! |
much of that we go after. If you en-l
joy a business volume worth while in 1
1921, you will have to work a little
harder for it. Much of it came to usl
during the era of great prosperity anl ]
weé got so used to it that the shrink-‘
age has nettled lots of people. What
wa go after this year will largely de
termine what we get.
The business houses in this com
munity and in our trade ten'itoryi
promise life enough to be felt in the
competition of the new year, and we
are indeed proud of the pace alveady
being set. We are going to work
with much more enthusiasm than
other communities enjoy. It is easy
to verify this statement, Compari
song are possible.
3 What do you care if you dp have to
"wyork a litile harder for it? Get the
~buginess. Taht is the word all down
the line. Get the business. Adopt
and hold high ethics in your business
methods, but get the business, Do
and dare. If your business depends
‘ MERCY! THE DANCE!
Through an innocently thoughtless
news head over a Community Service
item announcing folk games by th;:
children of the schools the Dispatceh
came near precipitating unmention
able things last night. The folk
game feature did not appear in the
heading, but it was sulficiently ex
plained in the body of the news item.
People who spend their good money
advertising in this paper ought to
be placed where they could know
how many people read this item.
We do not believe in idle boasts.
It is sinful to boast. But Cordele has
as wholesome an atmosphere for its
children and young people as Iherei
is in any small city on the American:
continent, And the Dbeautiful
thought will not down that there are}
plenty of good people who are stnl‘
devoting a great deal of time to mak
ing conditions even better. Among
these agencies is Community Service,
We are sure there was nothlugl
wrong or even suggestive of wrong in
our purpose or the plans of anybody‘
else. Innocent past time was bein,:‘
sought. Nobody ought to try for al
moment to think anything else.
If we could impress on you the rap
id growth of the right attitude of peo
ple in thig community towards sensi
ble, wholesome recreation for all
people f all ages, you would be griev
ed that you had ever entertained an
idea that we were in danger of the
encroachment of the modern dance.
We have too many innocent amuse
ments which are serving in a very
fine way to keep the minds and
hearts of everybody on the up grade.
Forget the fact that we said
“dance” at the head of a news item.
Appreciate the finer feeling asong
your friends and neighbors—learn
there is ag much of it in Cordele peo- |
ple as can be found anywhere,
On with the very fine spirit and the
spread of usefulness of every one of
the various Community Service move
ments. If we should make a poor
play of it, be sure we are heart and
soul with every good purpose that
vou or anybody undertakes. Tt will
not be hard for you to find the truth
of all this .claim. {
We know that there are folks
among us who should be brought upi
to less harmful means of recreatlonl
than the modern dance. We also‘
know that Community Service hus‘
no further purpose to permit even the
Virginia Reel or other plays akln{
during their play hours. This should
alloy any fear and put everybody in
the right humor, l
GETTING BUSINESS. 1
Speaking of traveling salesmen, a
businesg man remarked the other day
that some of them didn't seem to be
making any effort to sell their goods.
They would roll into town, smiling
all over, shaking hands with every
body. You would think they were
capitalists going back to visit the
homes of their boyhood. But in
spite of apparent lack of effort, they
would always get out ‘of town with
a good fat sheaft of orders.
“I asked one of these fellows the
other day how he did it,” said the
merchrant who was speaking,
on selling, sell, and keep on selling.
It it depends on collecting, be sure
to collect. Make each day count in‘
the vital business purpose you have
Cordele is going out into the new
year with as fine a spirit as oxists
anywhere. There is a fine fellowship
real business fellowship which asy
community might appreciate. Ev(‘ry-}
body works and smiles and really en-l
joys hearing the other fellow te't of
some success he has enjoyed in the
day’s business,
Out on the farmsg the weather has
been fine and the work has been put
under way in good form. 1t is
obliged to mean wonders in crop in
crease. There is plenty of labor at
a reasonable cost. There are many
of them with plenty of food and feed
supplies for stock and labor and zhe.\:
will go through to the gathering time
with less expense than heretofore.
We will meet the rest of the world
in the fall better able to take care
of ourselves than we have been in
many a season,
“Thought it would help me in my
business.”
“‘Well, T tell you how I did it’
was the reply I got. ‘I gtarted out in
this game ten years ago with the idea
or knowing everybody along my
route, I'd shake hands with the er
rand boy with just as much enthusi
asm as with the hoss. I took pains
to know them all by name,’
‘l'd gtop and talk business with
the greenest clerk in the store. Not
jollies and bull, but business talk and
telling him how they could sell stuff.
Now a lot of these fellows are store
managers and some of them own
stores, and all of 'em throw business
my way.' ¢
This little story of one man’s sue
cess, may have suggestiong for busi
ness men and ambitious young fel
lows here in Cordele,
The success of a business depends
upon the number of personal friends
it can make. Time spent in cultiva
ting friendship with people who come
into Cordele from outside, is very
well invested. Every new face and
name you can remember, every stran
ger who is made to feel that his in
terests are carefully considered when
he buys stuff in this city, means one
more permanent customer for the
store, and one more family which
looks to this community as its trad-
ing center. |
The people who buy in distant cit}
jes, and send away to mail order
houses, forget the value of these per-‘
sonal relations. When they buy in
their home towns or natural trading‘
centers, they form iciationg with a
group of men who value them as reg
ular customers, and take special
pains to please them. Such business
friendships prove valuable in uncs
pected ways, and are often the mean;
of opening up new paths to success. l
SECRETARY COLBY’'S SUCCESS.
I'rom New York Herald (Rep) ‘
Secretary Colby of the Departmentl
of State is returning from his visit
to South America, having conipletea
ais round of calls on the east c:):r;l'l
of that continent in a manner whch
entities him to the utmost satisias
tion and justifies his fellow country
men in applauding his tact and felic
ity of phraseology.
As the pfficial representative of a
President of the United States about
to relinquish office Mr. Colby was not
in a position to project upon the in
tenational horizon elaborate schemes
of hemispherical cooperation. He
could not speak for the program of
the administration which will come
into power on March 4. His contri
butions to international amity were
necessarily limited to utterances re:
flecting the natjonal good will, the
disinterested admiration and the fer
vent hopes for progress and pros
perity entertained by the people of
this country for their neighbors south
of the equator as well as for all other
nations in the world.
There have been misunderstand
ings and misrepresentations of the
attitude of the United States toward
the other republics of the three
Americas, and skilful propaganda has
been directed in the South toward
the creation of suspicion as to our
motives. Because of the patent ab
surdity of the purposes attributed to
us in these outgivings their edect has
not been important. Yet it is pro
bable that some persons have been
affected by them, and it is well that
these should be disabused of miscon
ceptions,
To accomplish this desirable clari
fication nothing could be more effec
tive that the lucid and graceful elo
quence of Bainbridge Colb" under
the authorfty of the Secretary of
State. The franknesg of his address
was based on the simplicity and
straightforwardness of the good will
toward the Scuth American countrics
which fills the: minds of all citizens
of the United States. For them we
wish domestic quiet, repose in their
foreign relatioms and prosperity in
all things. This Mr. Colby has made
clear, we are sure, to those he has
visited.

YOUR NEIGHBOR
| A SUBSCRIBER |
The Dispateh has a splendid circulation among the more
progressive people in its territory. They take it and do us the
kindness to say sometimes that they cannot get along without it.
We want it to be an even better paper and then— .
We want everybody to subseribe because we want all our
people to be up-to-the-minute and progressive. One of the sure
things a progressive persons does is to take a daily news paper
and keep up with what is going on in the world. The Dispatch
tries to present news of substantial progress wherever we find it
—we do not present the dark side of life of the women vampires
who steal cach other’s hushbands, who live in divorce scandal and
sex problems. To us that is not legitimate news. You may
have a different view.
We want the Dispateh to deliver a wholesome story of
what the world has done during the day. We want you to take
and read it to be able to measure your problems by what others
have done and are doing—we want you to read.
Do your neighbor a real service by making him subseribe
for his home daily. The money is the best spent money he will
enjoy spending during the whole year. If you cannot make it
any other way, ride out seven dollars less in gas in your automo
bile—save that many miles in joy riding and apply it to improv
ing your noodle for handling your problems.
Don’t argue with us about the price. We pay $7.50 per
vear still for the white paper alone that goes into your subserip
tion and we only ask you $7.00 for it. We have the bills and faets
with which we can convinee you that this is the truth if you care
to find out whether we are honest in these statements.
You are a subscriber. Make your neighbor one and let’s
have every citizen of Crisp county reading the home daily before
the end of 1921. Your neighbor will be a better neighbor, He
will want to help you put over some community needs before he
has gone very far. It’s the truth. Take him on now and let us
be sending him a paper. et g e e R
