That is to say, the need ! fora Curb Market was stressed and made so evident "by'the committee in charge of the movement that City j Council was induced to designate Broad street be- * tween College and Lumpkin for the Market one day Our agricultural agents have informed The Ban- 1 ner-Herald that the men and women of the rural com- B munities will be here with produce for sale to the Athens consumer. The enterprising citizens of the city have subscribed to a fund for employing a Mar ket Master to mediate producer and buyer. In facl, j the machinery is all ready for operation. It is now 1 Up to the women of Athens to do the rest. I If the Curb Market is a success the Athens women ; will make it so. There is no doubt but that Clarke \ county farmers and those adjoining Clarke are ( anxious to find an outlet for surplus food crops. | There is no doubt but that a Market of the kind I planned' here will aid in marketing that surplus food, —II*’ THE WOMEN OE ATHENS PATRONIZE IT. If they DO, our market will be a success from the the jump. If they don’t, it’s ail off. In the latter event Athens might as well stop talking about "help- • I ing the farmer.” They’ll have lost confidence in us and rightly so.* No one believes, that the Curb Market wlil prove the salvation of the farmer and business man. It cannot do it. It will help. Neither does the most ardent booster of the Curb Market dream that it will be a big thing from the beginning. However, much depends on the beginning. W.hether or not that be ginning Saturday morning will prove heartening to the farmer depends on the support given.by the Ath ens women. ' Women.of Athens, it’s up to you! -"I MACON’S CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION ,; All Georgia should join with Mafcon in helping to • makd the Centennial celebration, which is" to be ob served in that city May 9, 10 and H a great rucccss. An elaborate program has been arranged for the oc- -Casion and the whole city will be dressed in its best. tV Macon will be one hundred years old on May 9, and its wonderful growtli during the past century has ’ been most remarknWo. • No city in the country can boast of more beautiful streets, homes and progress- , ive business houses. It is an ideal place in which.to live and one of the best business cities in the country. Possessing a rich section tributary to its trade area the morchantiand business men have enjoyed a most prosperous rareer... Jllacon is tne home of some of the citizens who have helped to make history for their state and country. The late Senator Bacon was u resident of that city. ’ He enjoyCd the distinction of being a leader in the United States senate, and his record in the highest councils of the nation ctands out prominently and will continue to do so for generations to come. It was, also, the home of the late C. R. Pendleton, editor of the Macoft Telegraph, the xloan of journalism in the south. He was an able writer and a man with un usually strong convictions. His work for his home city and his state haa proven one of their greatest as sets. Of thoro living, Harry Stilwcll Edwards, author and lecturer, is one of the first citizens of the coun try. Our sincere interest and best wishes for the success of the celebration of Macon's first Centennial is ex tended with'the hopes, that the next one hundred 1 years will bring to that progressive city every desire its most ardent admirer may have for its future wel fare. Isi Do you remember Dan Goldsmith? He established the endurance piano-playing record by pounding out ragtime for 48 hours straight. On the other hand, consider Paderewski. Since last November his fin gers, by artistically manipulating piano keys, have earned him nearly half a.million dollars—an average of $7000 for each of hisTconccrts. Not what we do, but the skill with which wc do it, is what brings the fame and big money. Struggle until you can do one thing, no matter what it is, better than anyone else. That’s the road to success. We live in an age of specialization—expert jobs requiring expert men and women. ^^Have you nearly twice as much mondy in the bank you had in 19147 The average American has. ■■vings deposits in 19V! totaled 700 million dollars. ^wo,w the figure is close to 14,000 millions. Some of tnat war-boom money was salted away by the plain people. How much? Apparently, at least 7000 mil- Uons. However, the buying power of the dollar has been practically cut in,two, so in effect we’re no bet ter off than we were before the wAr—except for the wise who will keep their savings until low prices again bring the dollar’s buying power to par—$1 •n&W will equal $2 later, in buying power. 2$}£ingland has been celebrating the 800th anniversary of the printing of the First Folio of Shakespeare in IjBSp.'. The author had been dead seven years when BHppf hi* friends, Condelland Hemipgs, collected • and printed-20 of his plays. Their reason, they ex plained, was "without ambition either of self-profit or fame, only to Jteep the memory of so worthy a “fiaepd and fellow alive, as was our Shakespeare.’’ Critics, who; doubt that the Immortal Bard wrote the plays attributed ft him, v.ilFnotiwttat the- first : printing was not frl—Uastf, Bdann ^toy warc on., the job ar.d knew, three centuries ahead of jis. DiD IT EVER OCCUR TO YO&?

GIANT LYE Rabbi Stern, of Athens, will have the sympathy of a host of friends over the death of his father which occurred in Chi cago this week.

To Rabbi Stern, we ex tend our deepest appreciation of his sorrow' during this time of sad- itli him and. the members of his family. The curb market will be opened Saturday morning. It is to be hoped that the undertak ing will prove a success and tine which will be profitable t< the farmers and those who havo engaged in raising produce of all kinds for food consumption. For many the curb market wilil be quite a convenience and, no doubt, advantage will be taken of the mobilization of all country produce by the citizens of Athens. Those in charge of the movement have worked unceasingly for its suc cess and now that the market has been made a reality, it is for our people to give their support if it is to succeed. A well known merchant was talking to me yesterday and remarked: “It is interesting to note that whenever a fellow is 'fired’ from a position, the home paper writes it up as If ho had! re signed or was to secure a better position from some other firm.” That is true in most instances for the reason that Hie newspaper man does not want to cause the follow to fool badly or to make It harder Im to secure another position. However, newspapers are 'called upon to do many things which would hot be expected of any other line of business and, many of them their columns to help boost tb(? public and enterprises from •which they never receive returns. The conversation with tJho Athens merchant reminded me of an an ecdote which we read in the Kan sas City Star. It said “the homo town i>aper has the following to say of i.Mr. Jones, who lost his posi tion:” “Sir. Jones has resigned ,hls place with Smith Company to tako a more lucrative position, which will he announced later.” His old boss says; ‘Mr. Jones was dis charged for Incompetency.” Mr. Jonts himself says; "I got tho gate ’cause the general manager seen I was a comer and got jealous.” $t There is no Just As Good j Don’t accept substitutles—don’t ; buy baking powder that is sup posed to be just as good as Calumet—don’t think that a 99 big can at a low price mean§ Thejiontest *is rot^ limited to 11.
