STONE MOUNTAIN
A move is reported to be afoot
in congress to repeal last session’s
unanimous legislation, approved by
the president, authorizing the coin
age of half a million 60-cent pieces
CO mmemorating the great Confed
erate memorial wrought by Gutzon
Borglum on the face of Stone
Mountain.
The repeal should not be passed.
It ia ungracious, wasteful and
wrong, says the New York World.
The government has accepted
the designs for the coin; all ar
rangements for its mining have
been made, and the Stone Moun
tain Memorial Association has
made a number of plans growing
out of the legislation.
The cost of the minting is not
great, and the cause of economy
will not be well served by action
which will dishearten those in the
South who made sculptor’s clay of
a mountain to honor the valiant
armies of the Confederacy.

DOES THE PUNISHMENT FIT?
i
Reference is frequently made to
the brutal old days when men
f •' hanged for sheep-stealing
were
and it is well that such things are
no longer done; *t least by us.
Yet here is a report of a man
In Texas sent. to prison for ten
yeara for robbing a bank of the
sum of 60 cents.
Perhaps he deserved it.
Perhaps he “shot up” the bank,
. or dynamited its vaults, or burned
the building, to get the money.
But as the item stands, a writer
I in a far country, or in some fu
' ture age, might base upon it an
elaborate arraignment of our sys
tem of justice, which thus makes
ten years’ imprisonment the pen
alty for very petty larceny.
Incidentally, too, it is recorded
that the iame man was sentenced
to another ten years for stealing
an automobile.
Are we to understand that the
fiiwer and the 60 cents were of
approximately equal value?
WHY NOT?___
The congress that enacted the
pubHdty provision IST the income
tax law which is puzzling courts,
litigants and lawyers is now in
session.
Why not do the country a good
• turn by clearing up the uncer
tainty that surrounds the statute?
Some of those who drew the bill
and some of those who voted Tor
its passage ought to know what
they had in mind.
They should let the public in on
the secret.
At the same time, now that
there has been demonstration of
the futility of the provision and
of the widespread objection to it,
congress could well go further and
by the simple process of adopting
the bill of Representative Fair
child, of New York—which elim
inates the conflicting section alto
gether—carry out the wishes of
the country and save the tax
.
payers, the courts and itself much
unnecessary bother.
A man never knows how annoy
ing a conscience can be until‘ he
takes up golf.
But how did they serve refresh
ments before lettuce leaves were
invented?
Nobody would enjoy equality,
anyway. There would be none left
to snub.
Well, well; let them step on ’er.
That’s what cemeteries were made
for.
You can say one thing for static.
It drowns part of the jazz.

St SERVICE ABOVE SELF”
(Published Weekly by the Rotary
Club of Griffin.)
ROTARY AND BUSINESS
Rotary will live, and must live,
for its principles are founded on
truth and justice.
But Rotary cannot be just mere
words or beautiful phrases—it
must be brought into practical
daily use, into our home life, our
social life, our community life and
most of all, our business life.
Rotary believes in no double
standard for social and commer
cial life, but one standard of the
Golden Rule should suffice for
both.
It is the duty of a Rotarian to
so clearly blaze the trail of truth,
integrity and lair dealing as to
inspire others to follow this trail
and to accept his leadership
through chaos of doubt, ignorance
and falsehood—what greater ser
vice can we offer the world than
to be the trail blazers of truth
and honest business dealings.?—
Everett W. Hill, president Rotary
International.
» A MAN’S JOB.
A man’s job is his best friend.
It clothes and feeds his wife
and children, pays the rent, and
supplies them with the wherewith
al to develope and become culti
vated.
The least a man can do in re
turn is to ^>ve his job.
A man’s job is grateful.
It is like a little garden that
thrives on love.
It will one day flower into fruit
worthwhile for him and his to en
joy.
If you ask any successful man
the reason for his making good,
he will tell you that first and
foremost it is because he likes his
work; indeed he loves it.
His whole heart and soul are
wrapped up in it.
His whole physical and mental
energies are focused on it.
He walks his work, he talks his
work, he is entirely inseparable
from his work, and that is the
way every man worth his salt
ought to be if he wants to make
of his work what it should be and
make himself what he wants to
be.—Senator Arthur Capper.
SERVICE.
Who profits most? Is it the one
Who’s on the square in all that’s
done;
Who trusts and helps the other
man
And who gives a boost wherever
he can;
Who puts his task above mere
self,
And values friends and counts
them wealth.
Who profits most? Is that your
quest?
It is the one who serves the
* best.
When a man is wrapped up in
himself he makes a pretty small
package.
When we think we can make
both ends meet—someone moves
the ends.

Ten Year Bad Case Completely
Healed in a Short Time
Writes Florida Woman.
Faced with the loss of her
teeth after 10 years suffering.
Mrs. M. J. Travis, an esteemed
resident of Jacksonville, declares
she finally saved her teeth by a
simple home treatment “worth its
weight in gold,” using her own
words: “After having pyorrhea
for 10 years my mouth is now
healed. Before I found but dif
ferently, I was told there was
no relief and had yielded to the
loss of six of my solid teeth.
Then I discovered Moore’s pyor
rhea treatment. Three days af
ter starting its use the soreness
left my gums; my teeth began
to tighten. Now my teeth are
clean, my breath sweet and my
mouth completely healed. »»
The experience of Mrs. Travis
is duplicated in hundreds of other
cases. If you have pyorrhea—or
threatened with pyorrhea, your
teeth are in danger. Quick and
effective treatment is necessary.
You can test, without money risk,
the treatment used by Mrs. Tra
vis. Simply write the Moreham
Co., 410 Gateway station, Kansas
City, Mo. Under their guaran
tee of refund send two dollars,
or, pay postman the $2 with a
few cents postage. Use the treat
ment 3 days. Then if you are
not wholly satisfied, write to that
effect and your $2 will be re
turned at once.—(adv.)
Apply Sulphur As Told When
Your Skin Breaks Out.
Any breaking out of the skin,
even fiery itching eczema, can be
quickly overcome by applying a
little Mentho-Sulphur, declares a
noted skin specialist. Because of
its germ destroying properties,
this sulphur preparation begins at
once to soothe the irritated skin
and heal eruptions such as rash,
pimples and ring worm.
It seldom fails to remove the
torment, and disfigurement, and
you do not have to wait for re
lief from embarrassment, Im
provement quickly shows. Suffer
ers from skin trouble should ob
tain a small jar of Rowles Men
tho-Sulphur from any good drug
gist and use it like cold cream.—
