FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
LOUISVILLE GEORGIA.
ONLY NATIONAL BANK
IN JEFFERSON COUNTY.
In Soviet Russia, there are no such restrictions
as the National Banking Law places upon the
operation of National Banks, the making of loans,
and similar matters. The Soviet government
lends money to those who need, without security.
All is free.
Did you happen to own any Russian Bonds? If
so, you know they are valueless. Soviet Russia is
bankrupt. Civil war reigns in every province.
People starve. There is no sanctity of the home
or marital status. All is free. Yet, all is pov
erty, degradation, anarchy and at the same time,
despotism, ruin, privation and destruction.
Would you care for your government to lend
each man in the country SIOOO.OO this year, with
out security, and he bankrupt next year? No.
Then, do you want your banking business done
on such principles? Would pou care to have
your money deposited in a bank which lent each
of its customers a certain amount of money with
out security, as called for? Is that sound hank
ing?
Would you want to do business with a bank who
lent other people’s money, not its own, to some
fellow no better than you, without security, and
require you to give security? On the other hand,
would it be fair for it to lend you and not the
other fellow, equally as good, without security?
We leave you to answer these questions. This
bank does not lend your money, without security.
Its officers might, perhaps, be moved to lend a
friend their own money, without security, but
never yours. This bank never speculates at your
risk.

BARGAINS IN USED CARS
I have a number of used cars just out of the
paint shop, in good mechanical condition, looks like
new and runs like anew one. So why pay big
prices for anew car when you can buy a used car
for about one-fourth or one-third the price of a
new one. This week I have a corking good 6-
cylinder 5 passenger car, two Overland Nineties
and a few other popular cars. Will accept your old
car as part payment, accept liberty bonds, war
saving stamps or the cold cash. No matter what
kind of car you want to buy, see me before you
close the trade.

The Green Mystery
Of Life and Death
(Rome News)
If you have the Sherlock Holmes de
tective instinct and want to study a
! mystery more baffling than the most
complicated crime, go out to your back
; yard garden.
1 Tf you haven’t a garden, just look at
! the various vegetables on the table next
j time you sit down to dinner.
This is the mystery—
ou can take a load of soil, plant a
seed in it and by mysterious alchemy
, that seed will gradually change part of
i thu into a cabbage. But use a dif-
I tcrent seed and the same soil will
; evolve into an onion, a radish, or a elus
! ter of lettuce.
W hat is it that can produce so many
different forms of vegetable life out
j el the same substance— earth?
At the state experiment farm, Woost
er. Ohio, scientists took a tract of 50
; acres.
| The soil was the same everywhere on
that tract, yet this year it will produce
j over 2,000 different varieties of fruits
| and vegetables.
Pick up a handful of dirt anywhere
on that fifty acres and you have those
two thousand different crops in a con
centrated form in the palm of your
hand.
, l p in Portage Lake, Ontario, Cana
' on island burned over. Nothing was
lett but ashes. Six years went by and
a naturalist visited the island and
counted 1420 different kinds of trees
and shrubbery. All of which are just a
different form of the same substance—
eart h.
Roger Williams, founder of Rhode
Island, died in 1083. In 1800 pig grave
was opened.
The coffin had disappeared—gone
back to dust.
So had Roger Williams—even to his
skeleton.
Someone had dropped an apple seed
overhead. It sprouted into a tree and
the roots had crept down and spread
out in the form of a skeleton, and in the
exact position once occupied by Roger
William , s bones.
41 That apple tree.” commented one
of the diggers, “is Roger Williams. At
least, it \s the same substance in differ
ent form.”
Your body is made of earth—dust.
Look at your hand. The dust of
which it is composed has at various
times in the centuries past been part
of millions of growing things.
Concentrated in you is the identical
substance or dust that once formed the
tusk of a charging mammoth, the wing
of a giant, prehistoric bird, or the leaf
of a monster fern.
Some day, again, the dust that makes
up your body will move in other forms
of life. It may be a tree, an insect, or
a stalk of corn.
The change goes on forever—out of
the dust, back to the dust.
In the puzzle of what can make the
dust become animated in millions of dif
ferent forms, you have that greatest of
all mysteries—the riddle of life.

A TRUE PHILOSOPHER
The county agent of Le Flore county,
Okla., tells in his report about one
farmer in his county who has found out 1
a way to stop worrying. They have j
had tremendous rains down in that sec-:
t ion of the county *and there' was 100
much mud for plowing. The agent met
this man and said “1 don’t understand
why you are looking so much happier
than you did the last time I saw you:;
what’s the matter?” He replied:
“Nothing is the matter. I gave up
worrying because T got nothing left to
worry over-crops all gone, money all
gone, credit all gone, food's about
played out, can’t get work, got noth
ing, so I '\e got nothing to worry about
and have stopped w orrying. ”
COLORS IN COTTON
It has frequently been suggested
that the reason that cotton fabrics have
recently come to the fore as materials
for the choicest of frocks is that cot
tons are no longer as inexpensive as
they wore. During the months when
cottons were most high priced the vogue
for cotton fabrics seemed to receive
special boost. This might have had
something to do with it.
But something that has hud even
more to do with it is the fact that
the manufacturers of cotton goods have
managed to get more attractive colors
in their cotton fabrics than ever before'
and have had the good sense to employ
high grade* designers in making-patterns
for their materials. Once these interest
ing and attractive designs were almost
entirely confined to silks. Moreover
you seldom could find the tempting
areav of colors in cotton fabrics bus
you could in silk.
Hardwick Pleased
With State Guard
After Inspection
Brunswick, (In., July 17. —(Special)
This was governor’s day nt Camp
Connoy, on St. Simons Island, where
the Georgia militia is holding its state
encampment. Governor Hardwick and
members of his staff were the guests of
the militia throughout tin? day. The
governor arrived in Brunswick early
this morning and was met by a dele
gation of his friends and escorted to
his hotel where an informal breakfast
was held at S:3O o’clock.
Ho went to the island and was met
; by a committee of officers and escorted
| to headquarters, where he was welcom-
I ed bv the soldiers. During the day the
governor and his party inspected tin*
camp and this afternoon he viewed a
dress parade.
He took luncheon with a number of
1 the officers, the party returning to this
city this afternoon, and left at I*
I o’clock for Atlanta. The governor ex
l pressed himself as being well pleased
I with the camp on the island.
Hush money is generally paid on the

Tho Progressive Women’s Home Dem
onstration Club of Wrens gave a charm
ing reception and kitchen shower in the
spacious basement room of the new
school building Tuesday evening from
5 to 8 o’clock, that from now on will
serve both as a demonstration and
domestic science kitchen. Because of
inclement weather .the attendance was
not so good. However, the numerous
gifts in money and cooking utensils
swelled the appearance and made us
realize that a real domestic science kit
chen is in process of completion.
The donors were: Mrs. W. J. Wren,
Mr. and Mrs. Lamar Wren, Mr. A. A.
Wren, Mrs. ,T. A. Stone, Mrs. H. D.

contributed are: Avera Hardware Cos.,
W. A. Logue & Cos., and the Wrens
Bank. A thorough canvass of other
firms could not be made because of the
stormy weather, but they will be giv
en an opportunity to contribute at an
early date. Through the generosity of
the president, Mrs. R. L. Patrick, the
entire kitchen will be screened. Her
deep interest in the development of
this work is greatly appreciated by the
organization. The good spirit shown
by Mrs. Patrick and the other members
of the Advisory Committee should be
an inspiration to others to put their
shoulder to the wheel, and by so doing
make possible the existence of a per
fectly equipped domestic science kitch
en.
From time to time meetings and
demonstration will be announced, to
which the women and girls of the
community are cordially invited.
An attractive entertainment will be
presented by the club members in the
near future.
The Louisville Home Demonstration
Club formally opened the new demon
stration kitchen in the Academy on
Friday with a complimentary luncheon
and demonstration to the Parent Teach

STARTING BOLL WEEVIL POISON
ING WITH HEAVY INFESTATION
(By B. R. Coad)
Each year we find a considerable
number of farmers who do not realize
the severity of their weevil injury until
they have an exceedingly heavy infes
tation. They then decide to attempt
weevil control by poisoning with cal
cium arsenate and make a violent ef
fort to secure dusting machines and
poison in a hurry. This practice has
led to many disappointments and
should be avoided. In the first place,
it is exceedingly difficult to control a
weevil infestation by poisoning after it
has become very severe. It is true that
under some conditions profitable con
trol can bo secured but it requires very
intensive work and favorable conditions
for operation to off-set the disadvan
tage of the late start. Furthermore,
such a late start tremendously increases
the expense of the operation by requir
ing more poison and a larger number
of applications than tho early start.
There are so many weevil stages present
in the squares and bolls which continue
emerging daily that it requires the con
stant presence of poison on the plants
to produce anything like a profitable
degree of control, and under such con
ditions a short spell of rainy weather is
often fatal to the success of the work.
In addition, the majority of farmers
will find that Uiore is more or less de
lay in securing machinery and poison
and the infestation is likely to develop
absolutely beyond control between the
time they order their material and the
time they receive it. Consequently, we
w ish to urge everyone to be exceedingly
hesitant about starting such late season
poisoning, and to make absolutely sure*
that they can secure their equipment
in time to bo of benefit before plan
ning to conduct the operation.
YANKEES SHOW SPEED
Beat World in Launching Mer
chant Ships in 1920.
Total World Launchings Show De.
crease of Almost 1,300,000 From
the 1919 Figure.
New York.—The United States led ;
the world in the total gross tons of
merchant vessels launched in 1920,
according to figures made public by
Lloyd's itegister of Shipping.
The total launchings in shipyards of
the world amounted to 5,861,000 gross
tons, a decrease of almost 1,300,000
’ from the 1919 figure, but an increase
of more than 400,000 over 1918. The
total for the United States was 2,470,-
000 tons, while Great Britain was sec
ond with 2,055.000 tons. Japan i
launched 456,000 tons last year, a de-
crease from 611,000 tons In 1919.
Lloyd's points out that at the be
ginning of 19110 the United States and
Great Britain had on hand practical
ly the same amount of construction
to be completed and credits American
yards with greater speed than those
in Great Britain, in that this coun
try exceeded England's total by 20
per cent.
The decline in the total world ton
nage launched was attributed to the
decline in the American shipbuilding
program, America’s launchings being
1,600,000 tons less than in the previous
year.
British production showed a gain
of more than 400,000 tons. Other coun
tries launched a total of about 1,330,-
000 tons during 1920, or about 20,000
tons less than in 1919.
In comparison with pre-war figures
the launchings in the United States
were nine times as great as in 1913,
and throughout the world there was a
gain of about 7,1 per cent. For the
first time since the beginning of the
war Great Britain last year exceeded
its 1913 figure, the gain being about
7 per cent.
Considerable gains over 1919 were
shown by France, which increased
the total of its launchings from 32,000
tons to 93,000 tons last year; Holland,
from 137.000 tons to 183,000 tons, and
Italy, from 82,000 tons to 133,000 tons.
Comparative figures were compiled
by the registry showing the yearly
outputs of Great Britain and Amer
ica since 1913. Until 1918 Great
Britain was in the lead in ship con
struction, when the United States
jumped ahead with 3,033.000 gross
tons, against 1,348.01X1 for Great Brit
ain. Again in 1919 the United States
produced 4,075,1MX1 gross tons, against
1.620,000 for England.

Huge Sum Slashed
Off National Debt
Washington, July 9.—More than
$2,000,000,000 has been slashed from
the total of the gross national debt in
the two years since August 31, 1919, an
official statement of the treasury de
partment showed today. The gross
debt reached its highest peak in 1919,
a year following the armistice.
The total reduction in the debt for
the period has been S per cent show
ing that despite pessimistic talk of gov
ernment extravagance and inefficiency
tho debt is being taken away at the
rate contemplated when it was acquired.
The gross national debt on June 30
the last day of the government’s fiscal
year, stood at $23,427,772,447, according
to a treasury statement now available.
Two years ago at the peak the nation
owed a total of $25,478,592,113.
Reduction shown by these figures is
$2,050,869,666.
At a reduction of 8 per cent each
two years, the entire debt will be re
tired in far less than twenty-five years
the period of retirement contemplated
under the sinking fund arrangement.
Quick reduction of the debt tends to
ward lower annual interest charges for
tho government and for the citizen,
lower taxes.
The government now is paying in
terest on the debt at a rate of more
than $900,000,000 a year. This is near
ly $9 a year, for every person in the
United States.
