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. Directors of the Dixie Highway Commission are raid to have adopted the Hartwell, Elberton, Wash ington and Thomson route from the middle west to' Florida.

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.
