bowed heads of our people showing honor, in the
churches, civic organizations, municipalities and state
legislative bodies over the sudden and untimely death
of our President, Warren G. Harding; Calvin Cool-
idge, our new president, has set about formulating
plans and policies for the administration of the af
fairs of the greatest nation in the world. President
Coolidge is an able man; conservative in thought
and policies he is thoroughly capable of taking up the
responsibilities laid down by President Harding and
carrying on the policies of the republican party with
out interruption. , ,
President Calvin Coolidge sprang into prominence
while governor of Massachusetts. The police of Bos
ton organized a union and went on a strike. The city
became demoralized and lawlessness and crime ran
riot He declared the city under martial law and
caused the entire force to he removed andRhe elec
tion of an entirely new police force. The action re
quired backbone and manliness, but it was for the
good of the city and state, and his firmness brought
' to him the commendation of both republicans and
democrats. His course rave the City of Boston from
it: rioting, lawlessness and crock rule and when his
■ - name was suggested for the nomination for vice-
.president, it was received in accord by all factions
, and made unamious.
While he is succeeding to the presidency, he will
find great problems confronting him and it is gratify
ing that there is ready for service a man _ who has
; proved his ability to grasp situations quickly and
- make decisions that arc based on fundamentals.

By Berton Bra ley
just a silly little song
That rippled happily along,
A song whore “true” and “eye
blue”
Were obviously rhymed with
“You;” x
A song in which “the skies abov
Were made to chime with “dove”
and “love/’
And herein, with ingenuous art.
The singer sang his simple heart.

’Twas just a silly little song,
But here and there amid
throng
Youth looked at youth with warm
ing eyes,
And found a new beauty in the
skies
And sensed in music and in words
The joyousness of mating birds;
And old men, tenderly beguiled,
Remembered, sighed—and gently
niled.
OUR NEW PRESIDENT
While the nntion is shrouded in sorrow and the
l ’Twas just a silly little song,
And yet it bound men with a
thong
Of pure enchantment, for it beat
With melody and rhythm sweet.
The sort of “simple little thing/’
That anyone at all could sing.
And people hummed the silly air
And found life brighter and more
fair!
UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL ORGANIZATION
The woolen of Romo have organized a “University
Women’s Club”; its purpose to be for the accommoda
tion of a group of community demonstration club
girls who desire to attend high school. Under the
pian the girls will reside together under the chapron-
age'of the county home demonstration agent, making
a home for themselves while attending school and in
addition they will receive practical training in homo
.economics, even to the extent of household financ
ing and management.
The plan is most appealing and contains a purpose
"which will bring to the girls of that communty a ben
efit they would hot otherwise be able to receive un-
, der ordinary conditions. The women of that city
have blazed the way for the women in this state to
follow aiid organize in every county in the state a
similar club for the benefit of the girls in the respec
tive sections.
There is an unusual opportunity here for greater
work by our women. Athens is the fountain head of
learning for the state; here girls from every county
in Georgia attend our schools and colleges. Such n
cub. could enter an unoccupied field as an auxiliary
to the educational institutions in aiding to create a
home life and atmosphere for the girls who are seek
ing an education and spending practically the entire
year in our midst. •
It is hoped that the members of the woman s club
or some civic organization here will interest them
selves in the formation of a “University Club” or a
club with the purpose of organizing the girls of this
state into groups with some capable woman as chape
rone who can not only help them and aid in bring
ing them together socially, but teach them.the sub
stantial things of life'from ah economic standpoint.
The silly words, the simple tune.
Wore, true enough, forgotten
soon,
For that’s the fate of little lays
Whose charm upon our fancy
plays. r
A song like that, must quiqkly
flit,
But oh, I wish I’d written it,
And heard some voices in the
throng
Singing my silly little song!

THE PAVING OF BROAD STREET
;• One of the greatest needs confronting the city at
this time is the paving of Broad street from Lumpkin
’to Milledge Ave. Traffic over Milledge avenue and
Hill street has grown beyond the capacity of these
streets and the congestion is both inconvenient and
.dangerous to the public.
Athens has a progressive citienship who believes
in progress and growth of the community. They are
willing to vote bends for any improvement for the
good of Athens and they will vote for a $50,000 bond
issue for this purpose. It would not be just to the tax
payers to undertake such an expensive improvement
to be paid for from the city treasury out of advalorem
taxes. Permanent improvements of this character
should always be paid through bond issues handed
down to posterity. A bond issue would not work a
hardship on the present nor the future generations,
but all would be served and benefited from the im
provement v
It is to be hoped that the mayor and council will
give serious thought and consideration to the mat
ter and authorize an election which will submit the
propositoin to the people for them to accept or reject.
That is the fair way of bringing about such improve
ments and a majority of the people are then given an
oppeyrtuntiy to express their wishes and desires.
The increased traffic from Green, Morgan, Oconee
and a part of Walton counties traverses this high
way down Milledge to Hill street and to the heart of
the business district The:? two main highways or
street* have become crowded and dangerous to life
ami property. It is a duty the city officials owe to
the public to provide for the paving of Broad street ,'
in order that this congestion may be relieved.
We urge the mayor and council to call a bond eloc-
.lion for this purpose thereby giving the people of
Athens an opportunity to express themselves either in

Lee J. Langley, represent**
tive of Floyd county, has
proven himself to be worthy of
leadership and his position on
many matters of importance before
the legislature has stamped him
as the equal of statesmen of tho
“old school” who have made his
tory for this state. Floyd county
is indeed fortunate In having him
as its representative and through
his efforts, thnt county has been
put on the map and the people of
the state have recognized that thoy
have In Mr. Langley a man of
ability, resourcefulness and the
firmness of character to accom

The suggestion of making
Dougherty .street a one-way
street. Has met with the gen
eral approval of the pub
lic. A lady writes to roe and
urges that the agitation be kept
up until the mayor and council
passes an ordinance designating
this street as such. She writes: “It
will he too late to act after some
one hns paid the toll of “dead

house after It is burned and it
does no good to lock the stable

One-way streets, where congestion
of traffic occurs, is highly Impor

protection of the public. It is ob

to order that Dougherty .street be
