0, ORGANIZED EFFORT
For the average citizen who
wishes to aid his own city the
best opportunity is organized ef
fort, says the Waycross Journal
Hen aid.
The average citizen is not able
to contribute a large sum.
But if he puts the small sum
he is able to contribute into an
organization where it is united
with similar sums from others
the sum total of all these con
tributions makes an amount that
can be used very profitably for
the development of the city.
No city is is going to grow
very rapidly until it has sold the
idea of organized effort to its
own citizens.
So long as the organizations of
the city have a small membership
with a resultant limited treasury,
most of the movements that are
started will fare badly for lack
of money.
What cuts down the member-
1 ship is the desire of the individ
ual for an immediate direct re
turn.
|! Belonging to a public organiza
tion is not like buying a pair of
shoes, where the return is direct
and visible.
P§~ A man joins a civic organiza
tion with the idea of helping his
city.
He gets the return for his
membership fee from the benefits
accruing from a larger and more
prosperous city and not directly
from Hie organization.
If you are sincere in saying
that you wish to help your city
you will become and remain a
member of its civic organizations.
' And sometimes a man who sows
wild oats gets a grass widow as
his reward.
Some men do not profit by their
own experience, but even buy that
of others.
If the other fellow’s opinion
doesn’t agree with yours it’s pro
paganda.

passion, and will not to
state what the justice of God may
or may not require of himself or
of any of his creatures. This .will
be one of the great differences
between the future religion and
past religions. Institutional Chris
tianity as a rule condemned the
mass of mankind to eternal tor
ment, partly because the leaders
of the church thought they under
stood completely the justice of
Gad, and partly because the ex
Iusive possession of deliverance
gave the churches some restrain
ing influence over even the bold
est sinners, and much over the
timid. The new religion will
make no such horrible pretentions
and will teach no such horrible
and perverse doctrines. 1

WILLIAM E. KNOX
Close to three score years ago
a family of plain, simple folk
came to New York from Strabane
County Tyrone, Ireland, that they
might give their children the op
portunities held out to them in
word from America.
One of these children, a small
eager lad then, was William E.
Knox.
Immigrant Boy.
That same immigrant boy has
just been elected president of
the American Bankers Associa
tion.
When his parents found a home
in New York young Knox was
sent to school as long as funds
would permit. Then he got a job.
His first one was with a publish
ing house. He felt the future
held little for him financially
there and, a few years later be
came a junior clerk with the Bow
ery Savings Bank. That was 39
years ago. He worked his way
up, step by step to the presidency.
No High Ideals.
Knox admits that no high ideals
caused him to seek the job at the
Bowery Bank. “I found I could
get two or three} dollars more a
week there “so applied for the
job. I had 10 times as much
fun when I was outside, at a win
dow, waiting directly on people,
as I have now,” he said recently.

Of course it won’t do to give
names, until the official announce
ment in the society columns has
been made, but one young chap
has just won himself a charm
ing little heiress and all because
of a ready wit. Or, more strictly
speaking, he has won the heir
ess' father.
It happened at one of the din
ner dances, when stern papa
dragged the young man onto the
porch and demanded fiercely:
“Is it my daughter you want, or
is it her money?”
“You know very well that I
am an amateur athlete,” was the
prompt reply.
“What in tarnation has that got
to do with it?” demanded stern
parent in amazement.
“A great deal, sir. It debars
me from taking part in any event
for money.”
This is a story told against
himself by Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle. Arriving in Paris, he hail
ed a cabman to drive him to a
hotel.
<4 Dr. Doyle,” said that worthy,
“I perceive from your appearance
that you have recently been in
Constantinople, I have reason
to think also that you have been
at Buda, and I perceive some in
dication that you were not far
from Milan.”
“Wonderful,” answered the cre
ator of Sherlock Holmes. Five
francs for the secret of how you
did it. **
“I looked at the labels pasted
on your trunk,” said the cabby.
NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL

ways at the bottom of your class?

SAYS DR. ELIOT.
That the religion of the future
will be based on loVe of truth
and a spirit of co-operation a mom,
men and that worship of ;.ie dei
ties of the past will give way to
reverence for beauty and goodness
whs p.op'.iesied by President Em
etuus Charles W. Eliot, of Har
vard, in a i ..cent address given at
the University.
Dr. Eliot said in part:
“! believe that the modem
youth rejects almost all the ten
ets, dogmas and creeds of the
past; that he comes to the ques
tion of religion with a mind free
from the terrible obstacles which
the common Christian dogmas and
creeds have imposed upon past
generations. The modem youth
does not believe in the least the
Genesis story of creation, or of
God, Adam and Eve in the Garden
of Eden. He does not believe in
the total depravity of mankind
as taught in the ordinary evange
Heal creeds and manuals. He has
rejected those things, his mind is
free from them, and therefore
the problem what to believe is all
the more interesting and stirring.
Old Conflict To End.
“We are indeed coming to a
state of the world when the old
conflict between science and re
ligion will disappear, partly be
cause scientific methods approach
those of theology and those of
theology approach those of
science, but also because we real
ize in all sections or areas of
human thinking that progress de
pends on the free play of the hu
man imagination.

Twice-Told Tales j
Calvin Coolidge is either a man
of great strength and ability, and
is revealed to the people as such
a man or he has, at least, sur
passed all the seasoned politicians
of the two opposing parties in po
litical sagacity. If he has put
himself over with a “myth” it is
the cleverest myth ever created
by a candidate and set up in the
political arena. For the things
the politicians rejected became the
cornerstone of the Coolidge struc
ture.—LaGrange Reporter.
We are cutting timber in the
United States five times as fast
as it can be grown. How long do
you suppose the present supply
will last at that rate? Wouldn’t
it be a good idea to let the cut
over and waste lands be doing
something useful by growing trees
for the future generations? Keep
fires out of the woods so the trees
can keep growing.—Tifton Gazette.
“If the game laws are enforced
properly, it is not likely that the
state's game will be reduced to a
point where one breeding season
will not replace those killed.
Game laws are designed solely
as a protection against wholesale
destruction of game, and this is
why the real sportsman will obey
them of his own accord.”—Cai

SOL
WILL BATTLE FOR
Washington, Nov. 15.—The afte
of the American home brewer
who is dragged into court for
manufacturing cider or grape
jui$g with a kick depends, hence
forth, partly upon-where he lives
and partly upon how his neigh
bors feel about prohibition.
If he lives in a state whose en
forcement code is similar to the
Volstead act or less stringent, as
regards cider and grape juice, his
fate, if caught, will depend on
whether the jury which tries him
is “wet” or “dry.”
If bis home is in a state whose
enforcement code prevents the
home manufacture of cider or
grape juice of greater alcoholic
content than one-half of one per
cent, by direct specification, he
will have no recourse for inter
pretation of the hazy portion of
the Volstead act.
Government Cannot Appeal
This is the situation which
arises opt of the decision of
Judge Soper in the Hill case in
Baltimore, and the acquittal
Thursday by a jury of the Mary
land congressman on every count
against him.
The government will proceed as
heretofore—the decision in the
Hill case will alter its course not
one whit.
No appeal can be made by the
government, and the regulations
of the prohibition unit will not
he changed in any particular.
It will continue to take cases such
as that against Hill into the
courts and seek conviction.
Thereafter the case will be in
the hands of the jury to deter
mine whether the liquor made by
the offender is intoxicating or
not, except in states where the
state enforcement code clearly
sets out that brew containing
more than one-half of one per
cent alcohol violates the law.
Many States More Strict.
This applies always, of course,
only to liquor made from cider
and juices for which there is no
alcoholic content set in the Vol
stead act, but only the provision
that such must he “non-intoxicat
ing. n X
The Volstead act very specific
ally prohibits any other liquor
containing greater kick than one
half of one per cent.
In a great number of states,
enforcement codes are stricter
even than the Volstead act, and
some specifically prohibit manu
facture of cider, grape juice or
anything else with more than
“one-half of one. 91
In such states the court must
follow the law.
PLEA OF HENRY FORD
SAVES BOY FROM JAIL
Detroit, Nov. 15.—A request to
the court from Henry Ford sav
ed young John McGammon from
a probable jail sentence in court
here yesterday. The youth ad
mitted that he had set fire to
seven barns on the Ford estate
last April.
Judger Adolph F. Marschne
placed the youth on probation
when Mr. Ford assured the court
that the youth would attend the
Ford trade school.
PRACTICAL
The professor of mathematics
and his fiancee were roaming in
the fields when she plucked a
daisy and, looking roguishly at
him, began to pull off the petals,
saying:
“He loves me, he loves me
not—”
“You are giving yourself a lot
of unnecessary trouble,” said the
scholar. ‘You should count up
the petals, and if the total is
an even number the answer will
be in the negative; if an uneven
number, in the affirmative."
Efforts are being made in Eng
land to develop monoplanes fitted
with 12 engines each and air
ships carrying 120 passengers at
a time.

ELECTION BET
IN TOE OF SHOE
New York, Nov. 15.—When Jo
seph A. Caporale is made stake
holder for an election wager he
believes in keeping the money
where he can put his foot on it.
Therefore, Joseph put $130 so
intrusted to him in the toe of
his shoe.
Oddly enough the shoe didn’t
seem to fit so well after that, so
Joseph took the pair to Paul De
Matteo, who cobbles, to have
them stretched.
Cobbler is Wise.
Paul, who for years was Gov.
Smith’s shoemaker, has had lots
of experience in stretching shoes
the week following the first Tues
day after the first Monday in No
vember.
And he has learned to look in
the toes for election bets.
But Joseph, ignorant of the
ways of shoe stretchers, visioned
his trust betrayed when the man
who didn’t bet on Roosevelt called
around for his winnings.
Until he recalled the tight foot
gear, Mr. Caporale had a had half
hour.
Then, with the winning wager
er close on his stockinged heels,
the stakeholder flew to Mr. De
Matteo’s establishment.
“Sure,” reported^Jbe cobbler,
