Vfj ARE W)U'INSURED AGAINST ACCIDENTS?
•* -a ^
‘AwF About a yt J arago The Banner-Herald began to
St, offer Free.'IVBvetrAccjdent Insurance Policien in the
* sunt of $l,f)O0 eacn to all its subscribers, who would
sign th'e notbarary application blanks, and comply
— with the simple terms of the offer. There ia no red
■*" tape, no delay no medical examination accompanying
1 this offer of The Bannqr-Hcrald. And perhaps best
r - . of all it is absolutely fres to Banner-Herald readers. •
t No added coit, just an extra service on the part of
' £5*5 The Banner-Herald for the protection of its subscrib
ers.
As an indication of the popularity of this service
I - to Banner-Herald readers, there are in force approx-
w imately ,3,000 Travel Accident Policies giving pro
tection to that number of Banner-Herald readers.
With the increasing use of the automobile and
the rapidly mounting number of accidents, undoubt
edly the coming year will see a large increase in the
number of accidents and possibly a large increase
in the number of claims paid under The Banner-
Herald policies. It is stated that the Atlanta Con
stitution has paid to its readers during the past year
something over $8,000 for accident claims.
Attention of holders of these Banner-Herald Travel
Accident Policies is called to the fact that the Poli
cies are written only for the period of one year and
at the expiration of the year policy they must be re
newed and rewritten. Look up the date of your
. Banner-Herald Policy and if same has expired or is
neariiig expiration see the Circulation Department or
send in application for renewal. Do not neglect this
Free' protection during the coming year.
A NEW IDEA FOR THE BOARD OF "COMMERCE
Every now and then Athens, along with other
cities, makes, a drive for new members and adequate
• support for a three-year period for its Board of
Commerce. 'Why not adopt the idea of a Texas
town and ma,ke everybody join the Board of Com
merce? The work of such an institution is for the
public and community good, then why not give it full,
and gener 'us, and whole-hearted community sup
port?
Here is the.way they do it in Amarillo, Texas,
where everybody in/town, literally everybody, man
and woman alike, are members of the Board of Com
merce, for in that thriving city, the Board of Com
merce is a department of the city government and ts
supported out of the city taxes. In dealing with
business groups throughout the country it is called the
Board of Commerce, but in dealing with the town it
self it is called the Board of City Development.
Thdre is food for thought in this idea—it puts the
entire community directly behind properly organized
effort for the community good, whether it is directed
to bringing new enterprises to the town, or whether
it is directed to improvement and expansion of city
cbtorpiifes-Uready established in the town. Often
we 'have thought Boards of Commerce in their zeal to
bring new enterprises to town have overlooked the
best opportunity for helpfulness and progress by the
improvement and expansion of industries already es
tablished in a town. Many a struggling local enter
prise if prop’riy backed by whole-hearted communi
ty and financial support could be made to pay larger
dividends to. the community than rainbow chasing
for the pot of gold in distant foreign fields.
THE PASSING OF DEPRESSION
The whple country'’has awakened to the dawning
of a new era for better times and the passing of the
depression brought on by the world wide-war. Pres
ident Harding has declared that hard -times are
gone and in making the statement he gives as a reason
the pawing of the agricultural credit bill at the last
session of congress. This measure has, no doubt, re
lieved the condition in a great measure as it pro
vides for the relief of the former as much so as has
been provided for the relief of commerce and indus
try. The farmer,; enabled to secure a working capi
tal, can recover from his losses and build up the re
action ill commercial lines. Agriculture is the back
bone of the nation and when that interest is crippled
all interests will suffer alike. Restore fair prices
for farm products, which will lift the debt from the
. farmer incurred during the depression and an early
f return of prosperity will be felt over the entire
‘ country.
The increase of the lives/ «k industry is another
indication of.a safe and sound return of prosperity.
During the.wat H was impossible to over prddiv-e
grain and cotton as the deman/ abroad was so great
every bushel of wheat and every pound of cotton was
hi demand. The condition in, foreign countries
brought on by the war, leaving the people m those
nations, principally naked, the demand for cotton'for
the next few years will be greater than ever and a
reasonable price will be the rj&ult. Cotton cannot
be grown on a profitable basis if fifteen and twenty
cents per pound to the producer. With boll weevil
conditions and the scarcity of labor it cannot be ex
pected that this product will ever sell on the market
again at former prices, that is fifteen and twenty
cents per pound.
In this section, our farmers are working with a
determination to raise cotton and ample foodstuff to
rupply home consumption for both man and stock.
With this condition once fixed and carried out from
year to year, the south can bi made self sustaining
uinj independent of the rest ot the nation.

The naming of the various
school buildings in the city by
the members of the board of
| education in honor of individ
ual members and those, compected
witn tha-achools. is a departure or
rather an innovation for the public
school systems in Georgia. It may
be highly proper and tho»e for
whom tiie buildings have been
named are numWXPd among the
most substantial and worthy citi
zens of the community, but* it pc-
curs to us that it would hate'bfeh
more appropriate if the frame of
the buildings, to which the; public
is accustomed, had been robfineu.
Of course we will spon become ac
quainted with the buildings as re
cently named and we do not antici
pate any great convenien e to the
public in locating' the various
schools- since by action of the
board, has been ordered to place
the name of the buildings where
they can be easily ‘een from the
streets.
