THE YOUNG MAN WORTH
FINDING.
There never was a time in the
history of the world when there
was such demand for young men
for positions of business trust and
management.
The world has great need of
. young men, but no greater need
:
■'■P than the young men have of It.
In this day of the auto and jazz
II the young man must remember
that the world is older than he
is by several years; that for thou
sands of years it has been so full
of smarter and better young men
than yourself that their feet
stuck out of dormer wondows;
that when they died the old globe
went‘whirling on, and not one in
10 million went to the funeral or
even heard of the death.
Be as smart as you can, of
course.
Know as much as you can with
fe out blowing the packing out of
I, your cylinder head; shed the light
Of your wisdom abroad in the
world, but don't dazzle people
With it, and don't imagine a thing
is so simply because you say it
is,
Don’t be too sorry for your
father because he knows so much
less than you do; remember the
m reply of professor to the stu
a
dent of Brown University who
said it was easy enough to make
proverbs such as Solomon wrote.
“Make a few,” tersely replied
the old man.
We never heard that the young
man made any.
Not more than two or three,
anyhow.
Your clothes fit you better than
your father’s fit him; they cost
more money, they are more sty
lish, your mustache is neater, the
cuMI your hair is better and you
prettier, O, far prettier than
“Dad.”
But young man, the old gentle
man gets the bigger salary and
his homely, scrambling signature
on the business end of a check will
bring more money out of the
bank in five minutes than you
could get out with a ream of pa
'f per and copperplate signature in
i* ~ aix months.
Don’t be so modest as to shut
yourself clear out; but don’t be so
fresh that you will have to be
put away in the cool to keep from
spoiling.
Don’t be afraid that your merits
will not be discovered.
People all over the world are
hunting you, and if you are worth
finding they will find you.
A diamond isn’t so easily found
aa a quartz pebble, but people
search for it all the more intent
ly.
THE FARMER’S WIFE.
One generation has worked a
marvelous change in the life of
the farmer’s wife.
It is not so long since she
did more than a man’s work, start
ing before daylight and ending
with the candle.
A trip to town was a rare
event, usually enjoyed by the men
folks, and entertainment consisted
t
lurch social at rare ini
vals.
Today machinery does much of
the work once done my manual
labor.
The telephone makes next door
neighbors of friends 'miles away;
the automobile takes her to town
once or twice a week; and the ra
dio supplies her with the best en
tertainment the cities have to of
fer.
But it may be there comes to
her, and perhaps to other mem
bers of the household as well, a
memory of evenings in the win
ters of long ago when the home
was the center and circumference
of family interest and ambition.
In memory may be seen the
glowing fire from maple logs, the
scrupulously clean lamp, the board
table with children and parents
about it reading, some knitting,
some braiding strips for rugs,
with possibly the older boy of the
family popping corn under anx
ious supervision of younger eyes
glancing up from book or slate.
Great changes have come to al
ter this picture of American life,
but remembrance remains with the
boy and girl, now in homes of
their own to whom its sweetness
ami simplicity appeal, idealizing
it, hallowing it and keeping the
memory green.
HIGHWAYS OF THE AIR *
Out of the nation wide voyaging
of the Shenandoah, and the trans
Atlantic trip of the newly chris
tened Los Angeles, has sprung a
new interest in the dirigible bal
loon.
Hitherto development has been
along the line of the heavier than
t
air machine, the airplane, kept
aloft by its powerful engines,
driving its planes against the re
sistant air.
Col. Henderson, second assistant
postmaster general, declares that
the air mail across the continent
is succeeding, and will presently
be extended by the establishment
of collateral connections, running
north and south and acting - as
feeders with lower rates.
’ The
announcement that a com
pany at Akron, Ohio, is about to
undertake on a large scale the
manufacture of dirigible aircraft,
for commercial purposes, promises
to bring all large cities into closer
touch with each other and make
the air, like the ocean, a highway
of peace and prosperity.

“LEAGUE PROTOCOL AN IDLE
BOAST OF PEACE," SAYS
INTERNATIONAL LAW
PROFESSOR.
Philip Marshall Brown, profes
sor of International law at Prince
ton University, recently denounced
the protocol of the amendments to
the covenant adopted by the As-*
sembly of the League of Nations
at the recent Geneva conference
as being nothing but petty politics.
“It proves,” he said, “how alarmed
the league is for its prestige and
how jealous it is of American lead
ership. *>
Dr. Brown, former charge d’af
fairs at Constantinople and lec
turer at the Institute of Interna
tiona] Law at Vienna, said the
league had been greatly weakened
by the failure of Lord Robert Ce
cil's plan for disarmament, and
that it feared President Coolidge
might take the initiative in calling
a world conference while the
league accomplished nothing.
Forced Through for Boast.
'The protocol was forced through
to enable the league to say that it
had outlawed war for all time,”
Dr. Brown added. << Arbitration is
to be compulsory ahd coercion is
to be applied to any nation that
refuses to accept the jurisdiction
of the league. Japan was able to
pledge the league to consider even

'Put me down, n answered
George. “I’l pay ye tomorrow.
Next day the two met again.
“Well, said George, “who won
the prize? >»
“I won the first prize,” said the
farmer. Wasn’t I lucky?
“Who won the second ? ft
“My wife won the second;
wasn’t she lucky?”

queried George patiently.
“My darter; wasn’t she lucky?”

Europe in Shaky Condition.
« Europe is now on the most
shaky foundations laid by the
peace conference at Paris. Dis

proclamations and threats of co
ercion is evidence of insincere and
dangerous statesmanship. It can
only result in damage to the pres
tige of the league. ft
Dr. Brown went on to say that
in his opinion the chances of the
protocol being ratified by the most
influential members of the league
were very slight, naming England
as one of the obstacles.
“In the meantime the protocol
precludes any action by the United
States for a disarmament confer

practical purposes disarmament is

CHIEF POWDL
/\
To the citizens of Griffin:
Safe guard your home from fire.
Remove all dangerous fire haz
ards.
Protect your homes from spon
taneous fires.
Oily rags and waste should be
burned and not allowed in the
house.
Oily mops should be kept in
metal cases or out of doors,
for they are dangerous.
What makes these things catch
fire? It may be heat from the
furnace; a spark from a cigarette
or cigars. Some time they just
catch from^what is called spon
taneous combustion.
Spontaneous combustion is a
fire that starts itself.
It has been discovered that oily
rags, mops, cotton waste, moist
hay, dead leaves and certain other
things, * if left
to themselves, will
grow hotter and hotter and finally
burst into flames.
In handling oil or wax, use only
small quantities at a time, wiping
a
thoroughly the surfaces you have
rubbed with rags and then burn
the rags.
Use as your motto it Safety
First.
Respectfully,
J. J. POWELL,
Chief Fire Department.
