WHO’S YOUR CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT? ’ Collier’s is conducting a nation wide, face to face, straw ballot for nomination for president of the Unit ed States. The result summarized in last week’s is sue of that periodical follows: “With 164,514 ballots counted, In Collier’s facc-to-face straw vote, Henry Ford receives 54,-. 257, while President Harding, his nearest com petitor, receives onfy 32,924. Together they have considerably more than half the total vote. Otherwise the line-up is practically unchanged, Mr. McAdoo being followed closely by Mr. Cox among the strictly democratic aspirants, with “Al” Smith a good third, while Johnson, Hughes aftd Hoover string along a respectful distance be hind the president. "Ohio and Pennsylvania seem to furnish the sensation of the week. Mr. Harding musters only 3,163 votes in his own state against 4,950 for Ford, while rock-ribbed republican Penn sylvania returns a, 4 to 3 plurality for the most non-partisan and utterly nonpolitical candidate who ever made Up American politics.” An interesting sidelight on the situation is shown by the vote in Georgia and other southern states, as the following figues show: Ford McAdoo Underwood, DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU? A Little of Everything And Not Much of Anything. By HUGH ROWE. Athens has as her guest this evening two of Georgia’s most prominent oitisens and offi cials Chief Justice Richard B.

Alabama . 948 254 636 Georgia 1,636 450 267 North Carolina .. 293 653 48 South Carolina .. 306 152 62 Texas 1,247 1,005 122 Virginia . 827 334 - 95 Whether these figures mean anything or not is a question that is now puzzling the politicians of both ‘the major parties. Our guess is that they do not mean anything, save advertising and publicity for Henry Ford, and apparently he does not need that. At any rate this stunt of Collier’s is helping to arouse interest in the next election, and you just as well be gin to ask yourself, “Who’s your choice for presi dent?” GOOD OLD SUMMER What is the best season of the year? Summer, to most people—though the other seasons, especially spring, have their charms. And the older you get, the more you will like summer, the more you will dread winter. For summer, with its luxurious growth is symbolic of life at its best.. , Spring corresponds to our babyhood. It is the sprouting season, full of hope, dreams, uncertainty, danger of frost ' Autumn is like the waning years of life, when we harvest as we have sown, when we suffer for our negligence and mistakes and arc rewarded for our effort Most of us, when we look backward in the autumn of life, say: "If I only had my life to live over again. . Winter, of course, corresponds to human death, the hibernating of old growth until new growth is ready to spout and bud. All threo of these sessions arc preparatory to, or the aftermath of summer. And Bummer is the period of LIFE—of accomplishment—symbolic of the lives we arc living. Lucky are you who have survived the frosts of life’s springtime. Your crop of success is started. Toil and weed, for autumn of life will be upon you before you arc aware. For results, it’s now or never. SHOULD BE! SUPPORTED The Banncr-IIcrald pointed out some time ago the combination of the county and city health board would not only bring about greater health protection for both, but save money. The Bannor-Hcrald’s position in this matter has' been sustained by no less a personage than Dr. J. C. McKinney, chairman of the Athens Board of Health who not oiily favors uniting the two hoards but has drawn up a plan for doing so and will call a special meeting of ail concerned.this week to ' discuss tho project Without, going into the details of Dr. McKinney’s plan it js pointed out that the city will save $1260 an- ' nually and the county $300, in addition to giving both better health protection than is now possible. Not only that, the Sanitary department will be sepa rate and the chief of that department can devote all instead of part of his time to that work thereby giving the city better service by that corps. All this • can be done without reducing the salary of any of . tho officers, Dr. McKinney states. The county commissioners, countyi health board, ' city health board and city council meet in special joint session this week to consider Dr. McKinney’s plan in order to advertise a bill, if it is approved, and have it introduced and passed at this session of the legislature. : T , It is hoped the McKinney plan will be adopted as it is a very sane program for the protection of the wel fare of Clarke county and Athens citizens and has been thoroughly studied out Macon and Bibb coun ty are taking this step. There is every reason why we should do the same. Sheriff Merritt Dixon, of Sa vannah, is receiving the com mendation of tho New York preee in controlling the mob In that city a few days since And preventing a lynching which nr doubt would have occurred in an* other aection of the country, bul for the determined stand taken by the nherlf and his deputies. Whll* It Is true one life was lost in the melee, yet the sheriff demonstrated to the crowd that ho meAnt busi ness and If an effort was made to free the Jail of the prisoner, othei lives would pay the toil of the violence of the mob. Tho sheriff did his full duty 'and he deserve* the praise of alt law Abiding dtl sons. Such demonstration of bravery and determination will have tC good moral effect on th whole country and aid Jn a great measure to prevent hasty action by mobs In holding lynching bees. Dr. W. H.

A news Item a few days sine# stated that there were two young girls confined in tho Clark# county Jail, affected with a contagious discard, am! that ail efforts to havo thorn roturnod to their native state, South Caro lina, had failed. Such is a deplor able state^ of affairs: here are two girls of tender nge without friend? or relatives who arc willing ; tc help them turn to the right wa> and lead a llfo — of reaped! and happiness. Every temptation sur rounds thorn and the avenue of forgotten days, home and mother. Is closed. Hero is an opportunity for some one who is Interested !r blazing tho way* for the saving of souls and restoring to decency 1 these two poor unfortunate and helpless girls. There is little that they can do on their own motion but to mako up their minds to lead a life of right and morality, but even when they have done thal much, unless some protection thrown around thorn, evory evil conceivable will rise In their walk and restoration to a pure life will be a bulwark to overcome. Thes» girls were once little tots nnc around their mother's knee knell In prayer and listened to her lul labies until their eyes were closed In sleep. They were ns pure at any children, but In after yeafs Just In their "teens," evil ns^o- dates were formed and soon the teeth of a dragon, pierced their hearts and soul and destroyed theb characters and made them unfit fo* good society nnd home. But. Is If right to damn them?

Lumpkls Why One Advertising ' . ■> x * - Appropriation ^Increase T WO partners were debaling their advertising policy—plan ning the campaigns for the next six months. . Theirs is a retail store which spent in one year, $12,000 omits advertising which was 5% of their yearly volume, a fair expenditure in their line of business. In growth of sales they could easily point out the homecoming of the $12,000 with a fair and reasonable, profit in its train. For these two partners that expenditure was’a profitable short-term investment. *, One of the partners spoke up: !‘John,” he said, “we have a cadh profit in the bank from that $12,000, but we have a greater intangible profit by far—it is piled up for ug’in the minds of every man and woman in the city. “It is reflected in the attitude of our bankers. r v “It is present in the minds of the manufacturers who sell us. “It is working on the minds and purses of every one of our customesr.” “Why,” he continued, "this business, because of the advertising we have done, is worth $12,000 more’ than it was before we began.” . The two partners increased their appropriation, modestly, it is true. That was five years ago. • Today, for it is in a ldrge city, their appropriation is eight times their original amount. Their standing, with bankers, manufacturers and-customers is A-l- Their business has grown and grown in a healthy way. And still as one of them put it— “In the last five years advertising has made money for us. Every cent we’ve spent has come back to us, and brought an other with it But, our real profit—our big profit from that advertising is banked in the minds of the people. Ours is the best known business of its kind in town. Ahd that is worth a lot of money to us.” Published by The Banner-Herald in co-operation with The American Association of Advertising Agencies. if
