A BUSINESS PROPOSITION
Now that women are on an equality with men in
the employment of political; rights, they should lay
aside th'e conventional excuse “because” and get
right down to brass tacks. Business is business, and
hogs’ love corn, as Daisy Price, Mayor of Macon, used
to say on festive occasions. The idea is this, what is
busines for women. It was not the case in former
times when “because” was in vogue.
The thing we wish to call especial attention to at
this time is the iarge and varied stocks carried by the
Athens merchants, selected with good judgement and
offered ot reasonable prices. We have heard women
who lived*near New York and traveled all over the
world, express themselves in a highly complimentary
manner of the well asserted stocks and methods of
doing business wnlch prevails in Athens...
We have also met women that'come here from
quite a distance at stated intervals on account of the
‘ fact that Athens stores are replete wih fresh goods all
the time, and Athens folks are the best that they want
to do business with. They cm make their purchases
quickly, and then have time to spare in sight-seeing
and taking the kiddies to the movies.
Now to. the point, what is to, be gained in sending
away Athens money to buy goods elsewhere? Every
dollar that you send away is gone forever. It goes to
build up other places when it should be kept at home
in Athens, in order to help the merchant, help the
clerks, help the banks and swell the volume of trade.
If.everybody sent away to buy everything they need,
there would be no stores required in Athens at all.
The women who have recently had greatness thrust
upon them, need not think that they can avoid the
., business responsibility. Every dollarthat is sent away. -
so much drain upon the resources of the city.

. A CHECK ON SMART-ALECKS
- Out in Minnesota the Legislature has paused a bill
making it a misdemeanor to give false information to
the newspapers. Wc would recommendauch a law in
in Georgia. •
Now that April 1st is in sight, the newspapers will
be deluded with the usual run of false tips from so-
tailed practical jokers. - One way of amusing them
selves • they do not amute other folks—has been for
the practical joker to telephone newspapers tof.a mar
riage of a well-known young couple. This Is their
i-i i. idea of having’the laugh on these young folks, over
looking the attendant embarrassments and dikepnifit-
tures that snch a practice oftimes causes. There is
pi r «othing original about it. In fact, the joke—if there
U *ih i hPIt joke—has- been'on the newspapers, because the
H V leporters, having in mind ell the time that somebody
S*—— might be trying to “put something over,” are com-
“' ■"Vd to .make several telephone calls to verify a
rt of a marriage, a birth, .or other news, although
it’ihay come frojn a. source that would ordinarily be
* : accepted da authentic.
-Tha- Minnesota bill was sponsored, by Theodore
Christianson, editor of. The Dawson-Sentinel, and R.
.JHtqhuock, editor of the Hihbing, Daily Tribune,
-who are members of the Legislature-in that state.
Probably they have been having the trouble we have
experienced in. Athens, and, with their sense of fair
ness outraged,, went to ..the Legislature , with the de
termination to correct this evil.

About 2400 years ago Herodotus; the Greek histori
an, wrote this about the Egyptians: “The art of
medicine among them is distributed thus: Each phy
sician is a physician of one disease and of no more.
And the whole-country is full of physicians, for some
profess themselves to be physicians of the eyes, others
of the bead, others of the teeth, .others of the affec
tions the stomach, and others of the more obscure
ailments.” And here we’ve been going along imagin
ing that we have something new when we say that
we are living in an age of specialists. Every age is
an age of specialists, and always has been—even in
cave-man days when each clan had its champion
spear thrower. The key to wealth and fame is
specialisation, doing some one thing better than
others can.
The opera, “Flying Dutchman,” recently was
broadcasted by Manhattan Opera Co. Thousands of
raido fans who “listened in” were so interested that
they, wanted to see the real thing. The opera com
pany began playing to packed houses. Shrewd man
agers in the show business will recognize, in- this
conversions of radio fans into opera-goers, an in
expensive form of publicity. The star who advertises
his or her ability by raido demonstrations is creating
paid-admission business for the box office. When
.- .this is generally realized, there’ll be.no dearth of tal-

The prices of wives in Tibet has slumped to seven

wWt/JwThito is the standard price asked in this mysterious
