Big Conference over —deals nnd
dickers.
And now the Scnute politickers
Can get right busy and yip their
yaps
About the far-off, slant-eyed Japs,
And at the gallant French can rail,
And twist the British lion's tail.
Farmers now say, “All aboard!"
For Mussel Shouls nnd Henry Ford
They'll get there, too, if they can
bust
The mighty 'Hucnco of the Trust,
irishmen don’t feel Just right
Unless they're mixed up in a fight,
So North and South of the Emerald
Isle
Are like to come to blows a while.
Now, people, heed this jazzy rhyme:
There’s more than merely “a good
time”
That counts in this old world of ours.
It's nice to sit in Pleasure's bowers
Or frolic 'ncath the white lights’
glare,
But that don’t get you anywhere.
Wc take that back—it does not fall
To get a lot of folks In jail.
The thing that counts you must not
shirk—
It benrs the good old nnmo of Work.
“Make It snappy!" That’s the way
Things now are ordered day by dHy.
As we've found out, that is the plan
Pursued this week by the Weather
Man.
If the address label on your Stand
ard foads “ljun22,” It moans that
you arc paid to Jan 1st, 1922, and It
is time for you to sond in your re

Fatty Arbucklc’s second trial for
causing the death of Virginia Rnppc
again resulted in n mistrial out in
SanFrancisco. If he is ever tried a-
gain, he may plead self-defence and
be acquitted.
H. H. Tifti- for whom Tift coun
ty was named, died Saturday. He
was born In Connccticutt but came to
Goorgia In his young manhood, and
has been one of her most prominent
nnd useful citizens.
... I began using Cardul,"
continues Mrs. Burnett
“After my first bottle, I slept
better and ate better. I took
four bottles. Now I'm well,
feel just flno, eat and sleep,
my skin Is clear aad I have
gained and aura feel that
Cardul la the best tonic ever
made.”
Thousands of other women
have found Cardul Just as
Mrs. Buruett did. it should
blip you.
At all druggists.

It Is indeed gratifying that Berri
en, the Atlanta banker who embez
zled 440,000 of Georgia's public
funds, was enught last week in New
York. Thero was some grave care
lessness somewhere or such a theft
could not hnvo happened.
Polk county raised practically the
same amount of cotton in 1921 as in
1920, and at far less expense. Fur
thermore, we were pnid for most of it
about twice what we feared for a
time wo would get. ^lost of our far
mers raised their own food and feed
stuffs, nnd are therefore nearer In
dependent than they ever were be
fore. The worst enemy the country
has is the grouch who. can sec noth
ing good, nnd who goes about "talk
ing blue” all the while. Smile, dura
ye, smile!
There is no necessity for the far
mers and business men of Polk to go
through the hurrowing experiences
thnt other sections have suffered
from the boll weevil. Invariably the
history of the pest has been that peo
ple ,would not believe it was coming
until they were ruined by it. Every
man with a thimble-full of sense
knows that the weevil will in all prob
ability be far worse in Polk this year
thnn last, nnd if they don’t propose
to fight him they had better let their
land rest than to put it in cotton.
Whatever is done, every farmer
worthy of the name will raise at least
* an abundance of food and feed stuff
for his own use.
President Harding is opposed to
the “agricultural bloc” in the Sen
ate. It is a non-partisan organiza
tion holding the balance of power,and
it is becoming increasingly difficult
for him to control the Senate
through his usual Republican party
management. Finding that his ex
pressed disapproval “cut no ice," he
is now taking an apparently surer
way of breaking it up and has ap
pointed its lender, Senator Kenyon,
to a Federal Judgeship. The plan
may not work, however, ns Kenyon’s
successor as Senator from Iowa is
likely to be a farmer. It is to be re-
petted that Mr. Kenyon was not wil
ling to sacrifice his personal ambition
and “stay by his guns” in the Senate.
Should Act Promptly.
The Disarmament or Peace Con
ference —which turned out to be
neither the one nor the other —came
to a formal end Monday, and its
work now goes to the United States
Senate for ratification or rejection.
There is enough about its work with
which fault could be found to give an
apparent reason for Democrats to
“even up” with President Harding,
Senator Lodge and his brother Re
publican world-wreckers for their
treatment of the treaty which Pres
ident Wilson brought home from
Paris. There was so much good n-
bout that treaty, however, that his
tory will finnliy damn them for what
they did, nnd the same thing would
be true if the Democratic Senators
would follow a very natural impulse
to “get even” now.
Just ns President Wilsbn could not
get all he wanted In tile Treaty of
Versailles, so President Harding nnd
Secretary of State Hughes could not
get everything they wanted in Wash
ington. Their League of Nations,
Ltd., is a long stop in the right di
rection, however, and wc believe that
tntcsmnnship —and, in the long run,
good politics —demands a prompt ac
ceptance of the various treaties n:
far as Democratic votes arc concern
cd.
It is said that President Harding is
today depending more on Senator
Underwood, of Alnbnmn, to secure
ratification of the treaties than upon
Senntor Lodge, the Republican leader
from Massachusetts,who has put him
self In an embarrassing position by
opposing Article X in the League of
Nations and yet working for Article
IV of the Pacific League.
Democratic Senators can well point
out the inconsistencies of their Re
publican colleagues, but they should
not “play politics” by making any
unnecessary delays.
The Republican Senate in rejecting
the plan for world peace has brought
untold disaster, from which we hove
all been suffering ever since, nnd wc
do not want to see our Democratic
Senators a' party to the name cnla-
mitoilh mistake.
Obituaries.
The Standard has never made any
charge—as most pnpors do—for pub
lishing obituaries and cards of
thanks. All pnpors naturally feel
that any such courtesies should be
moro freely extended to the families
of pntrons—men nnd women who
show their appreciation of their
homo paper by paying for it. Wc
do not refer, of course, to those who
are not able to do so—if there is
really anyone who cannot afford to
pay 3 cents a week for it,—for The
Standard has always tried to treat
all alike.
With all our desire to be accom
modating, however, we arc forced to
nnnouncc a limit on these tributes,
nnd shall hereafter publish only one
"obituary” for a death, nnd this
should be confined to the 100-word
limit This does not apply to church
nnd lodge resolutions.
We often are forced by our limita
tions of time and spnee to cut down
these tributes to a reasonable length,
and our readers can readily under
stand the necessity which compels us
to mnkc the announcement, as most
obituaries of nny person arc neces
sarily a repetition of the same matter
A Fair Proposition.
If this paper isn’t worth to you at
least 3 cents a week—half the price
of cheap cigars,—we do not want to
send it to you a minute longer thnn
it takes to scratch your name off our
lists.—Cedartown Standard.
Fair enough! Anybody who does
not know thnt The Standard is worth
more than 3 cents a week has n dis
torted conception of values.—Jack
Patterson in Atlanta Journal.
And Brer Patterson is one of the
best judges of such matters in Geor
gia.
The principle of the local resident
for the local job is further carried
out by n ruling of the Civil Sen-ice
Commission. Hereafter, the Com
mission states, only persons who have
their residence within the delivery of
the office in which the vacancy exists
will be certified for mrnl carrier ap
pointment. Heretofore certification
has been made of eligibles residing
within the delivery of any office in
the the entire county in which the va-
the entire county in which the va
cancy office is situated. The new
procedure places applicants for rural
carrier appointments on the same ba
sis as applicants for postmaster ap
pointments, so far as the matter of
residence is concerned. The Civil
Service Commission states that this
change hns been made after due con
sideration, nnd meets with the appro
val of the Post Office Department.

If the pessimist hurt no one but
himself, v;e wouldn’t care— even a
little bit. The trouble is that he
needlessly hurts an entire community
The Woodrow WiUon
Foundation Fund.
Dear Mr.Russoll:—You have kind
ly called attention to the campaign
which is now on all over the United
States, to raise a fund to perpetuate
the ideals of universal love and world
wide peace between all nations,
preached by thnt great American,
Woodrow Wilson.
As I have before stated, the Wood-
row Wilson Foundation is an agency
to encourage the application of gen
ius to the public service by the pe
riodical award of a prize, somewhat
similar to the Nobel Peace Prize,and
nt the same time it is in the nature of
a permanent useful memorial to
Woodrow Wilson.
Every man and woman who stands
for the high ideals advocated by our
former President, regardless of poli
tical creed, ought to enlist as a mem
ber of the “Wilson Foundation.'
Only a small contribution is expected
from any one individual, and surely
among the loyal, patriotic, peace-lov
ing people of old Polk there are two
or three hundred who only need their
attention called to the matter, to en
list a hearty response.
I am anxious to wind up the cam-
nalgn and mnkc a final report to the
State Committee by March 1st, and
am making this appeal to my fellow
citizens to help me make a creditable
howing or the good old county of
Polk. Sincerely yours,
L. S. LEDBETTER, Chmn.
Since the last report the following

Previously reported $35, making n
total to date, $42.
With $1 of American money worth
throe times as much as French and
fifty times as much as German, it
makes trade with those countries de
cidedly difficult. England.is stabiliz
ing her money, but other European
currency is in a bad way and this fact
has its inevitable effect on conditions
in this country. To be sure —and of
course, —we just can’t have any
thing to do with affairs on the other
side of • the Atlantic, but our own
prosperity is largely dependent on
normal conditions there.
Senator Harris is rendering the
country as a whole, and particularly
the agricultural interests of the
South, a fine service in his efforts to
get Mr. Ford to clarify and improve
his offer to purchase nnd operate
MuBcle Shoals in the interest not
primarily of Mr. Ford but of agri
culture as well. While it seems that
it would be far better to accept the
original Ford proposal than not to ac
cept It nt all, it was a fine stroke of
diplomacy on Mr. Harris’ part in the
Interest of getting Congress to ac
cept the offer to induce Mr. Ford to
make it plainer and more definitely
binding.—Macon Tolegraph.
Alabama is to be congratulated on
putting over her $25,000,000 good
roads bond issue last week. It is a
great forward step .for our sister
state, and wc hope Georgia will soon
take such a step—but three times as
long.
