AN ISSUE IN THE 1924 CAMPAIGN
Apparently both the Democratic and Republican
• * parties are sparring on the proposition of injecting
the prohibition question in the campaign next year
for the presidency. President Coolidge stated to the
• conference of governors that prohibition cannot be
made a political question. In that matter the presi-
dent is mistaken. The Volstead act is bound to be
dent is mistaken. The Volstead act is bound to be in-
upon to declare in their platforms where they stand
on this all-important question before the people will
be willing to commit ^themselves-
The prohibition advocates will not support
either party unless a prohibition plank is in
serted in the platform. That much is certain and
unless some recognition is given the question by the
- opporing parties, it may be expected that the prohibi
tionists of the country will bring out a candidate of
their own. While we do not believe that the prohi
bition question is strong enough in America for any
candidate to ride into office on, yet the advocates are
strong enough to cast the deciding vote for either
party, Democratic or Republican.
However, be that as it may, the people of this na
tion are not satisfied with the present drastic mea
sure and in many instances the unreasonable en
forcement of the Volstead act. Such enforcement has
brought on decided opposition to the act and while
many who are favorable to prohibition—enforced
in a sane manner—they will not vote to support the
present law. Some modifications of the law must be
made or else there is serious danger of it being re,
pealed-
The question must be faced and the two leading
parties of the nation will be forced to declare in their
platforms either for or against prohibition; to say the
least, some modification must be agreed upon. It is
a live issue and neither party can sidestep the great
clamor of the people on this all-important matter.
for that day and to see to it that none of them are
slighted or deprived of every attention which is due
such organizations and on such occasions.
Remember the Boy Scouts and help to see to it
that a hearty welcome and entertainment is showp
to them while here.

GEORGIA STATE DENTAL SOCIETY
The approaching meeting of the 'Georgia State
Dental Society in this city is of more than ordinary
importance. It* membership is made up of men who
are devoting their talents to research and studies,
and their lives to the work of bettering conditions
and increasing the length of life of mankind.
Dr. Newton A. Teague is president of the associa
tion. He ranks as a leader in the dental profession
-and one who has contributed much towards the
advancement of this all-important health protection.
In the announcement of the program Dr. Teague says:
Believing that dental education for the laity is
a public necessity, and that such education can
best be disseminated by the individual dentist to
- his patients, the Georgia State Dental Society is
stressing this year n Health Program, defining
the importance of Mouth Hygiene as a defense
against life’s opposing forces of bacteria and
toxins.
Recent health statistics indicate that the
original margin of safety against these forces in
nature is being too rapidly exhausted, notwith-
withstanding the wonders of modern surgery.
All Athens will extend a most cordial welcome to
the dentists of this state during their stay in this
city. The occasion-will be one in which every in
terest in the city will co-operate and participate and
show to the visitors that attention and appreciation
ns only the Athens people can.
Denistry has grown to be a profession which ef
fects tho human race from early childhood on
through life, advancing year by year in its useful
ness and through its application increases longevity
and preserves health. Attention should be paid to
the children in all schoolg and their teeth examined
and treated before they reach the stage of decay and
disease of the mouth and gums.
To the dentists of Georgia, we extend a .warm
welcome.
SCOUT RALLY DAY
The Northeast Georgia Council of the Boy Scouts
will be held in this city on November 10. This or
ganization is pne of the greatest builders and mould
ers of characters of the young boys in existence. It
opens a way for the boys of the country to do some
thing worth while and be of service to their com
munities while they are young and it enables them to
become substantial and reliable citizens in after
life. Those interested in this section in this work
have accomplished much for'the betterment of the,
boys and through their efforts the boys have been
given a training which will remain with them through
life. It is a work of love and interest in the improve-
— ■ meat of the coming generations which prompts
these gentlemen to devote their time, energies and
money to the cause of boy scout work. It has grown
to be a big school of education in outdoor and indoor
life for the boys, many of whom have had little op
portunity for improvement other then that which has
been gained from the work of this organization.
The coming of the meeting of the council should
be looked forward to with much interest on the part
of citizens and,every effort put forward to make the
^ occasion one long remembered in Athens. While it
■ is scheduled to take place on "Home Coming Day,”
at the University of Georgia, yet we should not lose
' \ sight of its importance- Thousands of visitors will
__ _ be here.for the Georgia-Virginia football game and
other attractions, but we must remember that the
i Boy Scouts—men of tomorrow—are here and that
they deserve such recognition as it is in our power to
show. Athens is big enough and our citizens are
liberal enough to care for ail the activities planned
of- them become well to do In
worldly goods. Such characters
should be dealt wit® and before
contributions of any kind are made
to the unknown beggar, a thorough
Investigation should be made to
determine whether such persons
are deserving. A large percentage
of these itinerant beggars are un
deserving and should be dealt with
by the authorities. An anecdote

told of an/ occurrence In another
city, is typical of the average beg
gar soliciting aid from the general
public. It says:

provident fellow. One day he aa(d

"All right, Jake,*‘ said the grocer.

With Col. T. Larry Gantt
On 8unday afternoon we took
£ pln out to Neevc to view‘the land
nape o’er and shake hands with
our, farmer friends. Neese is one of
the flourishing rural settlements in
the Free State s on the Athens-Hurt
well highway. It has about a dozen
splendid white families, a fine
rchool with three teachers, one be

a neat church building, several
stores, a cotton ginnery and other
easenttats of a village.” It Is set
tled by progressive farmers some
with dairy herds and truck gar
dens. Mqdlson has several of these
rural settlements and thty are all
prosperous.
Of course we looked over
crops and etopped and talked with
fanners. They complain of poor
stands of cotton that reduced the
yield, but will make from one.third
to one-half bale per acre. And tbit
Is no guess work for the cotton bar

exceed thia yield. We never saw
finer corn crops. Some fields with
two large ears to the stalk. Every
farmer we tnlked with nays he will
make one of the best crops of corn
he ever raised. Besides they have
five pea and hay crops, and
elae to support their families next
year.
Every time you eat . food that
does not properly digest you
do not get the full nutritional
value-you are over-taxing
your stomach. Nourishing and
perfect bakings are what good
health demands. The one sure
way is—use pure flour and

But what most Impressed us was
the great stacks of peavlne hay in
the fields. That section will have
hay to sell Instead of Importina
grogs from tho Wfcst.: And this
also means Improved fertility of
their lands. Every farmer has a
pen of fine hogs to slaughter, n
yard full of poultry, and all kinds
of farm stock. We saw also some
peanuts stacked. Next year Madl-
aon farmers will not have to buy
a bushel of corn, a bale of hay or
