THE EATHING BEAUTIES
The parades of our young wom
en in bathing suits to get free
publicity and all such stuff as”
that being staged by our duily'
papers is the most demoralizing
thing possible to the young girls
of the state. A ganga of gals will
enter a bathing contest and their
pictures in bathing suits that are
less than nothing are published
in, the papers and all modesty
lost. lU's time that some protest
was going up against this cheap
and common method of getting
‘ publicity.—lixchange.
Some of these fellows who keep
harping on young women in Dathing
suits ought to have to take a' con
centrated lye bath in the corroding,
cankering corners of their evil minds.
We would suggest anything to stop
them from dwelling on this subject.
The picture of a bathing beauty in
’lhle paper, the stride of such a pretty
creature on the beach, is not half so
sinful as the practice of thinking
and writing and writing and thinking
about it in the papers where some
hody is trying to be ultra gocd.
These cverlasting tirades about the
young women are nothing in the wide
world but the out-cropping of an evil
thought in somebody who is not half
as innocent in aim as the bathing
heauty, picture or no picture.
To be very plain about it, we he
lieve the fellow who dwells contin
ually on the immodesty of the young
woman in the bathing suit is but con
fessing that he has an appalling weak
ness. It isn't so with all humanity.
The world has accepted the 'lm(hing;
beauty as womanhood's rightful con-.
tribution to the summer resorts. |
Those who are evil minded cer-.
tainly are not fair-minded when they
single out the bathing ‘lmauly for
their long dissertations on immodes
ty. That Kkind of man cannot afford
(o look at a woman got into or aligh:
frcin o street car or auwtomobile. The
pink knce of a flapper above a rolled
sock might give him heart failure.
For him the wax models in the win
dows of the department stores are
awflul—sinful.
I the family physician would come
along and preseribe plain, honest
work for that pititully nervou; prodi
£y, at leact the bathing beauty might
have a rest. With his mind engaged
at something legitimate in the form
of praiseworthy toil, we are quite
sure the world would bhe hetter for
the chango.
“Tho fault is not in our stars, Dear
rlh'mus!" You know the rest of it.
| THURSDAY CLOSING
The Thursday closing habit in a
‘cmmtry town is pure buncombe. We
do not mind writing this now that
the thing is over for the season in
Cordele. We had some enthusiasts
;'.\hn hurried this plan over in the
ispring time and barreq us from a six
o'clock hour for closing in the after
lnunn. The champions of the Thurs
~day afternoon closing hour did not
‘\l‘i,umn\ that they lost more than they
Tguinvd in such a summer program-—
il\ui they did. They have worked more
‘hours already as a result than if they
had gone steadily on and closed the
1::(1\1'0.\'» at six o'clock in the afternoon.
Please figure this out and sce for your
self,
1 And in addition the community lost
its regular baseball league games in
j\\'hich the husiness men of the com
‘munity found great opportunity for
summer exercise. It is not too late
[yvt to have two months of it. We
ought (o have an August and Septem
her schedule with six o'clock hours
?fur closing. That would change things
:\vnmlm'fnlly —and take on a lot of pep
por with which we might go ont after
'the fall business. How about an eight
'week league scheduls with games for
all but Saturday? :

} ETARTLING NEWS!
| There are quite a few folks
| who still insist that dairy cows
and the diversified crops that go
| along with them do not pay. Any
how, we have noticzd during the
summer monthe that these fel
lows have the cash money to pay
for what they need. Saw one of
these birds driving a brand new
flivver the other day, and we’ll
bet a Jersey heifer that he paid
cash for it.—Sylvester Local,
What startling news—a dairyman
can pay for a flivver in cash in the
dead of summer, If there is a doubt
ing Thomas among us—andq we think
there is—he shonuld go dean (o the
flivver dealer and find oul how many
of the farmers in this section pay
cash for their cars. They do these
very thing—and yet what startling
NEWB, M.t [y
The flivver is, generally speaking,
when used for pleasure in moderation
and for business needs, is no more
cost to the owner than the horse
and huggy. It will g2o on less money
for some people. The man with the
good dairy herq is usually a progres
sive and need¢ his flivver to see what
other good farmers are doing—and to
save time in his work. s
IMPROVING SEED

This action was taken at a re
cent meeting of the Association held
at Athens, anq furthermore, all secd
coffered by members of the organiza

| WOULD COPY UNCLE SAM
- Dr. Otto Arendt, the noteq miretal
}lisl. would have Germany copy the
United States government, rather
than west-l European democracies, in
her parliamentary aims. In an analy
tical summary of the present status
|m‘ the German republic, published in
the ultra-conservative Taegliche Rund
schav, Dr. Awendt points out Ger
many’: ereatest need of a nom-parti
gan cabinet, having the support of
the l.ver majority of the populace.
Queh o desirable state of affairs he
ccon ensured by the American form
of government,
That Hindenburg, a monarchist,
took the oath as president under 2
pepublican constitution is character
\,i;:cd by Dr. Arendt as an historical
episode and a guarantee for a lasting
repubcan form of government in
'‘Germany,
“A roturn to monarchism is an im
possibility in Germany today,” he
aays, “and any attempt at @ monarch
:ic:ll restoration could only culminate
lin civil war and a consequent decay
‘n!‘ the Reich.” He states emphatical
'l.\' that the constitutional foundation
‘nr the present government must not
ilw tampered with, but on the contrary
(should be continually strengthened.
THE CORDELE DISPA'TCH
l,'[‘herefore, any attempt, be it from the
right or left, to alter the constitution
i])r. Arendt calls “a crime against the
‘German people, which is to be nippad
in the bud.” - :
After this declaration of allegiance
to the Weimar Constitution, the writ
er feels justified in passing ‘well
meant and constructive eriticism,
“What is wrorg with the Constitu
tion?” he asks and comes to the con
clusion that it suffers from the sur
feit of abstract democratic doctrines
,With utter disregard for the salient
‘,fv.':!llr('s of Germ.:m national develop
ment. Changing the national colors
lie thinks was a fatal error which now
calls for at least some “half-way”
corrective measure,
\
\ The present elective system, elim
:imzling individual clectoral districts,
‘p;u.u'rnnml after parliamentary dis
tricte of othe: European democracies,
the writer also considers detrimental
to Germany. THe strongly opposes
all criticism of the parliamentary sys
tem as such, but advocates raising
the age of electoral firanchise. Ti]e
listing of votes he condemns as a
|"‘purely" mathematical measure tend
ing to harm the desirable formation
of parliament, claiming that thereby
| “the elector votes for a party and
never for the individual.”
Dr. Arendt summarizes that three
essential reforms are necessary if the
Republic is to be maintained and the
reconstruction of Germany ensured:
The elimination of the national col
lor.v, conflict, the renunciation of vot
ling lists and the discontinuance of
| parliamentary cabinets.
TWO GIANTS DISCOVERED
Two prehistoric skeletons, mor2
than 80 feet in length, recently were
uncovered in the state of Washing
ton by workmen in a railroad cut.
Rev. J. Herbert Geoglnegan‘, who ex
aminad the find pronounced the bones
those of dinosaurs, ichthosaurs or
ptercdactyls.
The skeletons were imbedded in
40 to 60 feet of limestone deposit,
and were partly petrified. The rail
road excavation cut through the ani
mal's ribs, wiich could he seen ex
tending for a distance of several feet
in parallel lines. i
No skull was found, but a long tear
ing tooth discovered’ among the deb
ris was taken as indicating that the
‘;rnimuln were carnivorous. The ribs
ivux_v from three to 12 inches in thick
ino.‘:‘,s. wihle a portion of shoulder
hlade is four feet long and five inches
thick. Knee joints and other bones
discovereq vary in size from several
feet to only a few inches in cirenm
ference,
“Phe characler of the rock indi
cates that it was once sea or river
bottom, which through a fault has
been overturned,” said Rev. Mr.
Geoghegan. “The layers of strata
'!m\'\ heen upturned, leaving the ani
mals lying in an unnatural position.
“The upheaval which placed the
bones on the top of a high+hill, prob
ably took place at the time the Cas
cade range wag formed.
“Phe animal was a vertebrate, and
probably stood 40 feet high, counting
the long expanse of neck found. The
classification of the bones could be
,'dotorminod more exactly if we could
locate the skull of one of the beasts.
“This entire country appe\'s to
have been tropical or subtropical in
character, and the absence of rocks
and gravel proves that the glacier
which covered the northern part of
the continent at one time, neve:s
touched this section.
From the lcharacter of the soil,
either river or ocean bottom, I am
inclined to believe the animals were
inchthosaurs, or mavitime reptiles,
yather than the dinosaur, land reptile.
or pterodactyl, flying reptile.”
“ A GOOD EXAMPLE
Savannah Press:
Ap interesting story has been pub
lished about Willjam . Ireland,
once sent to the Ceorgia Training
School for Boys for some misde
meanor, ol
It was not a crime involving mor
':ll turpitude, it is said, and he proved
L himsell to be a good- inmate of the
institution and to have earned the
respect and confidence of - those
around him. In fact the recital of his
record during that time said that
“Bill Ireland scemed to stand head
and shoulders above the crowd.’’ He
became a ‘‘trusty.’’ He was popular
with the boys and with the Board
of Trustees. Later he was grut in
‘charge of the farm and was later an
assistant in the institution, the
training school. § " { %
‘L A parole was ohtained for Ireland
ishort]y after the present hoard took
charge and follewing this a com
"plete pardon was granted him by
Governor Dorsey, but he refused to
’leave and stated that he preferred
rto remain there with the work, (
} So Ireland has been appointed
’superintendent of that jinstitution. He
has already conducted such of its af
fairs as have been entrusted to him,
with tact and good sense. He has
used parsuasian and good example,
where force and obsolete methods
might not have availed, :

TO BEAT BILLS!
You have often heard the old expression that it is cheaper to :
move than to pay rent. In this community there are some people
who find it cheaper to change doctors than to pay the old one,
Swapping doctors is an old trick. It has been resorted to by un
scrupolous persons for years. Doctors recognize such tacties al
most instantly. :
To “dismiss’ one doctor and ““engage’’ another is your inalien
able right. You may have good reasons for so doing. But don’t
camouflage. Don’t try to hide vour “bill heating’’ intentions.
Pay when you fire!
Your old doctor took care of you when vou needed him. You
neglected to pay him, and when sickness came again you called
m another because you didn¥t have the moral courage to admit
vour wrong, »
Don’t swap to beat your bill. Both the “dismissed’” doctor and
the newly ‘““engaged” one know what vou are doing. They have
seen your kind operate hefore. :
If you are honest you will pay hoth, Tf yvou are dishonest and the
indications are that you are; vou will beat hot h, and both of them
know it. : By e % vyl
Your doctor tries to give you the kind of scrvice vou demand. He
is ready to come to yvou whonovbl'-'.\:o‘ll call. " His knowledge, his
experience and his skill are at your command, :
He deserves his pay. And vou know that he deserves it or vou
would be manly enough to face him. Illlsh';l(l of that you call in
another in a sneaking sort of way, only to *‘gouge’ him too, if
you can. | |
Both your ‘‘dismissed” doctor and your newly ‘““engaged’’ one
are reading this article. If you want them to think you are hon
est you will pay up; if'you don’t pay up, both will recognize you
for what you are. : : E
