AN IMPORTANT DECISION The decision .handed down by the United States circuit court of appeals affirming a decision of Jufige Samuel H. Sibley in favor of the Marine Bank and Trust Co., of New Orleans against the Bank of Pal metto is far-reaching and will, no doubt, upset many opinion as to the authority a bank has in withdraw ing or stopping the payment of a check given by the cashier. An official of the Palmetto bank had given the New Orleans bank a cashier’s check for the settle ment of a draft drawn on him for losses sustained in speculation on the cotton exchange. Later this offi cial undertook to stop the payment of the cashier's check and caused the payment to be held up. The New Orleans bank carried the case before Judge Sibley who decided ii. their favor; the case was* car ried up and now after three years in court this higher tribunal has affirmed the decision of tho low er court- The decision will set at rest any doubt in the future as to the value of a Cashier’s check, Men once issued, and, that no bank will have tl}e power to stop the'payment on a cashier’s check. UNDERNOURISHED CHILDREN An important movement has been inaugurated throughout the country by charitable organizations, Rod Cross and civic orders, to supply milk to the un dernourished children in school. In many places thero are found large numbers of children whose parents are unable to purchase the iriilk—that is a sufficient amount to give to the children the amount needed for their health and strength. It has been found in many places where milk was furnished the children at the lunch hour they havo grown to be healthy and strong and- increased rapidly in weight, and many who were under weight attained the av erage for their years and even went beyond it in many instances. We do not know that such a condition exists in the public schools of Athens, but there is, no doubt, .a percentage here which would warrant such a move ment and we believe that our charitably inclined cit izens would readily respond to a call for funds for free milk in our schools. There are severeal thousand dollars donated to charity by our citizens each year. Some of it, no doubt, is misplaced, but even at that it is practically impossible not to have some irregularities to occur in the handling of such contributions, but it ip an agency which .is necessary in ail communities, and even though the undeserving sometimes benefit, the great good which is wrought from such donations more than offset the misplaced and misguided char ity. The matter of undernourished children in the schools and the creation of a free milk fund for all such is worthy of the attention of the board of edu cation. WILKES COUNTY FARMERS ORGANIZE . Representative farmers of Wilkes county have or ganized a board of trade and plans for marketing their products will be one of the first mpvcments to be entered into by these farmers. It is the purpose of the organization to co-operatc with the Washington board of trade and show a co-operative spirit between town and county. Such an organization is bound to result profitably to not only the farmer, but to tho merchant and banker. It has for its purpose to de velop a closer relation between the merchants and bankers with the farmers and create a business Bystem through which conditions can be improved and a bet ter understanding brought about between the forces which make up the communities and on which all are dependent. The movement is bound to work much good for that town and county and if such a program was adopted in every town and county in the state! it would prove a blessing. A closer relation between the banker, merchant and farmer is of all-importance. These agencies are working towards one end and that end is for building and developing the country and producing more and at a less cost. A co-operative spirit and an under standing of the needs of each other and restoring con fidence will work wonders and bring about a normal state of affairs which have been shattered from the inflated times brought on by the war and other agencies of “make believe” prosperity. The boom was not stable and consequently it \va3 not lasting and when the break came every line of business suf fered. We are recovering from the disaster, but it will require a restoration of confidence and a spirit of co-operation If w» ever hone to return to that normalcy which placed this country at the height of prosperity, safe and sound commercially and' other wise. The Valdosta Times on the same date gives to its Vote for bonds for the paving of Broad street from Lumpkin street to Milledge avenue. ✓' The Athens merchants are enjoying an unusually good business due to “Trade Month.’’ The Macon News says: “The price of hogs has dropped but pork comes from packers.” "Senator Sorghum” says the farmer sells a hog for fifty dol lars and buys it back from the packers for fifteen hundred, which of course isn’t quite true. If Geor gia farmers raise their meat for home consumption they’ll play safe. DID rr EVER OCCUR TO YOU? A'Llttla of Ivorythlng And Not Muoh of Anything. ■y HJJOH ROWE. w# wart juat one touchdown ■nd one field goal off on oof prediction of tho reeult of tho Georgio score against Auburn, but that was due to the weather. If the weather had been favorable. Georgia could hgv* eaaily scored the 1? polnta against the ‘Tialnr- m«n.“ The man who la not satls- fled with tha ecore. however, in wrong in the upper etory and he It not a football “bug" nor a good sport. We ere satisfied with the reeult and, now if Georgia can turf tho trick with Alabama, I am in favor of giving the boya an extra number of. “cuta.” It waa an interested- crowd at the Colonial Saturday after noon for tho returns of the game, but the first half tent by the Western Union operate.* wot “rotten” and if the crowd here could havo gotten to h!m r he would havo been lynched and justly so. I have never heard o gome of any kind as badly raized up as the op erator on the Columbus end of the line who called .the Georgia-Au burn plays. “A forward pass by Prewett; the ball is in the alr.“ No one hne ever learned what became of the ball. Juat such, unreason able reporta ware jolted out to the audience during the first half of play. It was some better during the second half, but it Is hoped that the Western Union reporting the next games will have an op erator or some ono present to send the games in n halfway intelligent manner. •, / *. 1 Your children f s ... «T <* _ f food w The foods your childred " eat today, determine their strength and health in later years. . V Remember this; they must , have well balanced meals. Their food should contain the right amout of mineral • salts. These sal ts act as bone building material. They fur nish the differentfluida and juices that help keep the tissues young—-the rody strong and active. Bakings that are made of good plain white-flour and , baking powder contain a large amount of mineral salts.* Allow your children together with fruits and dairy products. This forms an ideal food balance. When making-quick rising breads and pastries such as: biscuits, muffins, cakes, waffles, etc., don't fail to use Calumet—the economy Baking Powder. It contains more than the ordinary leavening strength—its the purest and surest leavener made. That’s why it helps make your flour foods light and easily digated. Millions of mothers use Calumet daily because they are interested in their child ren’s welfare—their present and future health., PACKED IN UN - -KEEPS STRENGTH Ilf William Jtnrt«fig« Bryan hae announced hit candidacy far delegate to th# democratic convention frbm Florida.

However, speaking of the orlglnnl proposition as to what we think of ourselves, here is an analysis which might be worth reading and con xldering.

Larry Gantt 'creator of “The Four Horsemen,' aays: “I consider it superior to an; picture I have ever seen.” As this week Is the opening of the Trade Month for Athens and our city will be packed with, visitors, the management of the Palace and Strand will place at both theatres fine productions. All those who have seen “The Four Horsemen” will doubtless now witness what the author declares a still greater production. “The Enemies of Wo men.” To show the wonderful climate we have In this section and the vast possibilities of our land, only last week our curt market was stocked with beans, pets, toma toes, cucumbers, peppers, plmen- toes, Irish and swen potatoes, cabbage, apples, greth com, and all manner of fall vegetables, be* sides golden Jersey butter, milk, pork sausage, home made cakes, honey, 'syrup, sugar cane, peanuts, chickens, eggs, lovely flowers, grwon by the wives of farmers; pigs, wild game and many other good and beautiful things too num erous tp mention. Mrs. Bob Thrasher, of Oconee, and Mrs. Cook of Comer, both brought to our curb market some grand chrysanthemums, that v they had mto • *n U.;lr gar. never saw liner specimen# ot this flower from any green house. Mrs. Cook'Is a daughter of <wr friend Jim Powers, of Smittamfo. She says she reads the Banner- Herald every day and keeps pasted about q'ty ©rents, and especially tb© curb market, In which institu tion our country friends from tho towns and country are greatly In terested. / Mess re. Camak, of Athens, who own largo bodies of land 1 in War ren, McDuffie and other counties below Athens, and which was idle this year for lack of labor, say with other land-owners in that section they will cut these plants* tions into small farms of fifty to one hundred acres and make nn effort to sell them to good whlto men from the Middle West As many of our cozens as can spare the time should meet the tourists that are now passing through the city. Some camp on the city bail lot and others regis ter at the Georgian hotel These strangers always appreciate any little attention shown them, and it helps Athens to have a good word spoken about our city. We bave lately met a number of these tour ists from many states In the mid* die west and every one was de lighted with Athens and the beau tiful country tributary to the place. Two cars of these people from New Jersey and one from New York told us that they intended to go home and make* arrangements to move south amf they saw no place they liked better than thfs section. Tho head of one of these cars was a dairyman, one a trucker and the other wanted to establish head quarters hero for a patent ho has to economize and increase water power development. v We have cectainly a wonderful country. Last week Mrk Will Scott had ripe raspberries, as the vines are ever-bearing. If our farmers would grow out-of-season fruits and vegetables they always sell for a high price. We can growin In this section anything except a tropical product. Wo saw at the curb market as fine lemons as are grown In Florida that were raised by a lady in Oconee.-' Be sure and come to Athens frequently til's month and take ad vantage of the bargains our mer chant are offering. And you .have a chance to win an automobile or cash prize. Bring all your family and tell your neighbors about the Trade Month in Athens. All’of our older citizens remem ber Hahvfck Jennings, who mar ried a daughter of the late Mr. Dedirlck Beussce. He was also a professional rope walker and most daring one, too. Ho walked a rope stretched across Broad street carrying a mon on his back. Bill Beusse tells us that Halwick is living la Brunswick, Ga., where he lias met with great'financial suc cess, but is Critically ill In a hos pital in that city and not expected to I've. He owns a number of resi dences and business houses in Brunswick. Halwick, after his mar riage, was elected coroner Clarke county. Mr. Delay, a farmer near Hull, says many farmers in that section will make a half bale of cotton per acre, and the crop Is turning out much better than expected. Some fields that the owners lought cleaned out are again hlte. Mr. Delay says he thinks the •name of every good citizens bf the county should be placed i*n the jury ’boxes, and let all do their duty in serving as jurors. S. H. Griffith who has a ftno farm on the Monroe rnnd in Oconee county, says he has gathered seven bales of cotter, from ten acres and has the finest corn crop he -baa. ever producer. Also a quantity of fine peavine hay and a pen of fat hogs ready for slaughter. He snys Torn Dickens had a largo crop for his force but managed to work<it and has a fine crop. Does not know how his cotton is turning out. -MONDAY, XOVKMREr ; Our citizens all,remember the success of “The Four Horsemen,” which kept the Palace theatre packed for two days.
