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. DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?

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 Modem Version of a Boyhood Sport told of an/ occurrence In another city, is typical of the average beg gar soliciting aid from the general public. It says: Jake was a worthless and Im provident fellow. One day he aa(d to the local grocer: *T gotta have a sack of flour; I’m all out, an* my family Is starvln,.” "All right, Jake,*‘ said the grocer. "If you need a sack of flour and have no money to buy It with, we’U Rive you a sack. But, see here, Jake, there’s a circus coming to town In a few days, and If I give you a sack of flour are you sure you won’t sell it and take your family to the circus?” ‘Oh, no,” said Jake. ”1 got the circus money saved pp already.” Unlest you i«t tho name “Bay er on package or on tablets you Johnny Spencer, of the Ma con Telegraph, conducts one of the beat columns we have read.

(Prof. Collier Cobb, of the Uni versify of North Carolina lectured at the Uni vers’ty of Georgia. Around Athens 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 Ing Miss Ida Callaway of Athens, 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 been picked and ginned. Some wlil 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 If you want to find what thou sands of housewives have learned—make some biscuits with self-rising flour —then make some with good plain der—notice thcgrcatdifference. Onetnai will satisfy you. Your health demands that you make the experiment Those who know—millions of housewives, domestic science teachers,bighotels,restaurants, bakeries and railroads will not use anything but Calumet, the Economy Baking Powder. 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 a pound of bacon. If any farmer runs short of such supplies he can find them at some neighbor’s for ■ale.

A wonderful Improvement has been made in the road via Barber- vllles From the River street bridge to three miles beyond, the city lim its on of the finest concrete roads in the country has been built and rplendld grades made. This is one of the most important high ways that enters Athens, and over It comes a fine trade for our city from Mudlion, Franklin, Hart, El bert and tho mountain section of Northeast Georgia. The highway Is kept In splendid condition until the Jin fork is reached when you strike a rough and rugged road, that badly needs Ironing out. Tho Danlelsville branch is in beter condition. This Is a pnrt of the Bankhead High way, and If we mistake not. It Is the duty of the state to keep It In repair.
