Blakely, Ga., May 22, 1919. A saving people makes a safe gov ernment. o Put your money where it will do double duty for you—in War Savings Stamps. o The Salvation Army Home Service Fund Campaign is on in full swing this week. o “Beware of small expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship,” said Franklin. He knew. o The Republicans have a majority In the House and Senate, but not a sufficient majority to override the President’s veto. o Thrift helped to win the war. It will enable us to enjoy the fruits of victory, also. Invest your money in War Savings Stamps. o To an American will probably fall the honor of being the first to fly across the Atlantic. Having made a successful flight to Azores, it is be lieved the big seaplane NC-4 piloted by Commander Read will successful -1 finish the voyage. 0 Congress convened Monday. The House and Senate are again under Republican control, and there promis es to l>e no eqd to the “probes” and "investigations” which they propose to make of the work of the Demo cratic administration, 0 Os interest to Blakely friends of Prof. R. H Powell, of Valdosta, will he the announcement that Governor Dorsey on Thursday of last week named Prof. Powell as one of the members of the board of visitors of the University of Georgia. 0 We have yet to learn of an instance where the voters of any county fail ed to endorse a bond issue for permanent roadways when given an opportunity to do so. The good roads advocates of Early county should express themselves strongly to the Board of County Commissioners. o Hawker, the British aviator who attempted a non-stop flight from New foundland to Ireland, has likely gone to a watery grave in the Atlantic ocean. Thus the first attempt at a continuous transoceanic flight has •ended disastrously. This will not deter others wlio are now making plans for ai like effort. o The News is consigning two news letters to the waste basket this week because of the failure of the writer to make known his identity. This pa per has dozens of times in the past called attention to the fact that no responsible newspaper will print anonymous communications, but in spite of this a week rarely ever rolls around that one or more such letters do uot reach the News office. MAKE THRIFT A HAPPY HABIT. The Victory Liberty Loan, the last great popular subscription issue of Government, securities, being closed, Secretary Glass announces that defi nite plans are being worked out for continuing the sale of War Savings Stamps or some other form of small security for a period of years. One of the permanent benefits America will receive from the war is the lesson of thrift and economy. Its value to the economic life of the nation is too great to be cast aside now’ that the war emergency has passed. It Is to be hoped that thj War Savings Stamps, or some other variation of them, can be made a permanent institution. The 1919 Thrift idea does not con template putting into practice the doctrines of the miser. The ma.i who hoards his money is narrowing his life, restricting his liberty and shutting himself away from true happiness. The government’s object Is to make thrift a happy habit. The thrifty man buys liberally and in telligently. He makes sure that the shoes he buys contain good material and workmanship: that the meat he carries home at night goes on the table, not in the garbage can. He conserves his wealth, his time and his energies. In this period of flux and change, of unrest and intrigue and revolution, America can only perform her whole duty to her people and to the people of the world if she holds steady. And she can only hold steady through the industry and foresight of her citizenry. American thrift will go far to save the life of the world, to bring liberty and make the pursuit of happiness possible to oppressed hu manity. The thrift plan is & progressive step. It is constructive w r ork and should have the sympathy and sup port of our people in every walk of life. o EYE GLASSES TAXED BY U. S. AS A LUXURY. Eye glasses and spectacles are a luxury —not a necessity—according to a ruling of Daniel C. Roper, com missioner of internal revenue, re cently announced. All who wear eye glasses or spectacles that have gold or gold-filled frames are subject to a luxury tax on the lenses as well as on the frame. Under regulations just announced by the internal revenue bureau con sumers are also required to pay a tax of one cent for every 25 cents in the purchase of practically all toilet articles and all patented or advertis ed medicinal articles. Stamps to cover the tax which be came effective May 1 will be issued, it was announced, in the denomina tions of from one cent to forty cents, to be affixed to the article by the dealer after the selling price has been determined. The tax is made applicable to all medicinal preparations sold under patent or trade mark, or produced by a manufacturer having or claiming to have exclusive right or title to make such prepaartions. “Medicine” is defined in the regu lations as a remedy for disease “of human or animal body.” “Recom mended or advertised” is construed as meaning “representation by any means, whether by personal canvass, or statement on labels, in pamphlets or in advertisements.” Many substances not used solely for medicinal purposes such as boric acid or licorice, if advertised or sold under a trade mark as medicinal preparations, are also subject to the tax.
