BUY UNITED STATES
PRODUCTS
Those persons who are responsi
ble for buying the supplies for the
family have not yet realized how
important it is to purchusc those
products that are made in this coun
try. E ven Georgians have not been
impressed with the great impetus
trade would receive if Georgia-made
products were always bought, and
this idea should extend to buying
those things produced in the Unit
sol States. Take the one instance
of sugar. Housewives throughout
the United States, and in the south
east in particular, are called on by
B. O. Sprague, president of the Sa
vannah Sugar Refining Corporation,
to help relieve the unemployment
Hituation by demanding goods made
in the United States. He declares
that the purchase of American refin-
ed sugar alone would be of tremend
ous value in dissipating the depres
sion, as he stated that the purchase
of refined sugar in the southeast
last year, brought in from foreign
countries, if it had been refined in
this country, would have given em
ployment to 1,000 men and women
for one year.
To this must he added the labor
ami matorals used in the growing
and manufacturing of cotton, used
for the millions of cotton bags in
which the sugar is distributed, all of
which is a southern product, and
would add at least another $2,000,-
t)l)0 distributed through the channels
of commerce to the storekeepers
and householders of the south, and
mean the employment and support
of hundreds of families.
Speaking further on this subject,
Mr. Sprague said, “Unfortunately
the housewife, unknown to her, al
low. about 30 per cent of the a
bove employment and money to be
lost to this section of our country
that is so sorely in need at this
time.’’
This is brought about by the pur
chase of foreign refined sugars that
have been and are being sold in in
creasing quantities throughout the
southern °tates. These foreign su
gars are not being sold to the retail
purchase at any concession in price,
and the housewife, at no saving to
her, is an innocent party in adding
to the unemployment situation by
these purchases."
SELLING GOODS BY AIRPLANE
Tjhe old-fashioned drummer who
<once traveled from town to town in
ji buggy has changed along with the
•other changes that have taken place
in the past twenty-five years. Not
many of these knights of the grip
now visit the small towns, and some
have “taken to the air” in their
e-alls upon customers.
An Atlanta traveling man be
lieves he holds some sort of record
for “commuting by air” during the
past year.
I. M. Weinstein has traveled
more than 50,000 miles by plane on
his regular trips through his terri
tory.
Weinstein’s company has branch
es in 20 cities and he spends regu
larly now about four days a week on
board transport planes going to and
from these cities.
The time-saving element is the
one that appeals most to the busy
executive, for he now makes his
rounds in half the time consumed
when he did not fly.
On and after July 6 letter writers
are going to have to dig a little
deeper, for the little stickers pur
chased at Uncle Sam’s postoffices,
known the country over as postage
stamps, and which take “letters for
a ride,” are going to cost more in
about a week. This is one of
the methods Uncle Sam is using to
meet a deficit that would not exist
if he had followed a balanced bud
get under the pay-as-you-go policy.
On the above date the two-cent
stamp will not take a letter “for a
ride.” All letters must bear a
three-cent stamp for the first ounce,
and for each additional ounce or
fraction thereof there must be an
other three-cent stamp. The in
structions read that in the event the
sender fails to place sufficient post
age on the letter it will be returned
to the sender, if known. If not the
letter will he forwarded to the ad
dressee, who will have to pay addi
tional postage due.
COMMUNE WITH NATURE
Mrs. Corra Harris, one of Geor
gia's most brilliant novelists and
newspaper writers, makes her home
in an out-of-the way place in Bar
tow county, where she enjoys tho
quietude of the forests and the rest
ful surroundings of nature. Re
cently in her column in the Atlanta
Journal, she wrote:
“If you are tired out, don’t get
drunk and don't go to see a doctor.
Go to the country and stay there
until you are morally and physically
fit to attend to your own case. By
such a time you will he sober, that
Is to say, the poison and depression
we get from living and working in
a crowded world of thinking,
hating, suffering and contending will
have been eliminated. Your facul
ties will have been cleared. You
will have slackened your gait, re
lieved from this imperative thing
which we call progress, but which
leads so swiftly to riches and ex
travagance, and no less swiftly back
again to poverty, exhaustion and de
pression. You will realize that the
world is never quite the same, only
hurried, enterprising and dissatis
fied. You will discover that this
quietness and orderliness of nature
is truth, safety and sanity.”
HOLDER IS OUR CHOICE
(From Lanier County News)
We stated last week that we
would probably express our prefer
ence for Governor in this issue.
John N. Holder is the man whom
we have decided to endorse and sup
port after giving careful consider
ation to all the ten candidates in
the field.
Mr. Holder is well and aptly call
ed*“Honest John.” You can DE
PEND on what he tells you, he has
ample ABILITY for the high office
to which he aspires and we really
believe that he will be Georgia’s
next Governor.
Mr. Holder stands for an unin
terrupted highway program and
will see that every highway in the
State is paved if you give him the
opportunity, and THAT is a program
that is advocated by practically ALL
private citizens.
We have nothing whatever to say
of a detrimental character of the
other nine candidates in the race
for Governor. We take it for grant
ed that they are clean, conscienti
ous men, but we believe that John
N. Holder is the PROPER man for
the office and we are FOR him.
JOHN N. HOLDER FOR
GOVERNOR
John Holder got a lot of “cussin”
a few years ago when he, as head of
the state highway board, held this
old state true to the pay-as-you-go
plan. Numbers of good, honest peo
ple were almost standing on their
heads at the slothfulness and dis
grace of the poor roads. They would
have plunged this old Empire State
hopelessly into debt with a big
bond issue for quick road building.
They mentioned North Carolina as
a shining example of what could be
done with bond money.
Today North Carolina has anew
bond policy. Pay day has come,
and she finds herself heavily involv
ed. They have so well learned the
lesson of going into debt that they
have anew law now restricting the
sale of bonds in that state. —Ellijay
Times-Courier.
One newspaper correspondent
says, “The Savannah League of Wo
men Voters at a meeting held a few
days ago had a very delightful fea
ture. It was a short sketch of the
life of each of the 10 candidates
for governor of Georgia. Mrs.
Frank Melntire presented it and the
job was capitally done. It is doubt
ful if some of the candidates would
have recognized the pen pictures
this gifted woman drew.” With the
thermometer hovering around a
hundred, we don’t believe this fea
ture of the meeting could have been
"delightful.” Anyway, it opens up
anew avenue of programs for wo
men's meetings. The lives of ten
living candidates might be more in
teresting than the lives of some
men that are sometimes studied by
these organizations.
Messrs. Whitworth, Sadler and
Henry have been organizing a credit
guide in Commerce, and have invit
ed all business firms in Jefferson,
Hoschton and Maysville to co-oper
ate in the movement. The system
to be installed will give proper
credit to those who can pay and are
doing so, and will show those who
are slow, but good, and those who do
not pay at all. We are not inform
ed whether or not Jefferson mer
chants are joining the credit bu
reau.
MARRIED WOMEN AND THEIR
JOBS
There is much being said about
the employment of married women
in the business world at the present
time, and many married women are
being displaced by men during this
depression, for the reason that it
enables another family to have meat
and bread. The idea is being car
ried to its largest extent in the em
ployment of school teachers. The
argument is that a woman with a
husband has a means of support, and
her place in the school room should
I be supplied by an unmarried per
-1 son. This is being done in our own
1 local school. We agree with Jane
Ad dams, 8n internationally famous
woman leader, who defends the
wife’s right to work, and contends
that because a woman is married is
no reason that she should give up
her job, or that she should be bar
red from employment in the busi
ness world.
“Married women should not neces
sarily give up their jobs simply be
cause they are married,” said Miss
Addams. “They have a right to
participate in the business world.
Of course, if a woman knew that by
surrendering her job her place
would be taken by someone who was
actually worthy of it, and needed
it, that would be a noble thing to
do.”
JOHN HOLDER’S PAY AS YOU
GO PLAN
(From Ilazelhurst News)
John Holder got a lot of “cussin”
a few years ago when he, as head of
the state highway board, held this
old state true to the pay-as-you-go
plan. Numbers of good, honest peo
ple were almost standing on their
heads at the slothfulness and dis
grace of the poor roads. They would
have plunged this old Empire State
hopelessly into debt with a big bond
issue for quick road building. They
mentioned North Carolina as a
shining example of what could be
done with bond money.
Today North Carolina has a new
bond policy. Pay day has come and
she finds herself heavily involved.
They have so well learned the lesson
of going into debt that they have a
new law now restricting the sale of
bonds in that state.
This state owes John Holder a
great deal for sticking to the time
proven policy of pay as you go.
Any state or individual adhering to
this policy will always come out or.
top.
A farmer who has the same prob
lems to work out that other farm
ers have, remai'ked the other day: “I
do not know how much money I am
going to have when the harvest is
over and the money crops are sold,
but one thing is certain: I am go
ing to have plenty to eat. So will
my folks: So will my live stock.
There will be plenty of ‘hog. homny
and hay’ on my place. My wife
will put up enough vegetables and
fruits to carry us through the win
ter and early spring. I will have
my own meat. We won’t go hun
gry.” And that’s saying a good
deal, more than the head of many a
family living in town can say,
though the truth is that this year
the South probably will come near
er producing all the food and feed
crops it will require than has been
true in a long, long time.—Albany
Herald.
Seventy thousand high-spirited
Americans, including Governors of
states, Mayors of great cities,
charming ladies, watched the Shark
ey-Schmeling prize fight in Chicago
last week, paying from $2.30 to $23
for their seats. Four hundred and
twenty-nine thousand dollars was
the total amount paid for the pleas
ure of watching two men fight
through 15 rounds of three minutes
each. And yet, Chicago is unable
to pay its city employees, including
the school teachers. There is no de
pression along some lines.
The Augusta Chronicle pays an
elaborate and deserved tribute to
Hon. William M. Howard, who is
now in bad health in that city. He
is one of the most distinguished
lawyers Augusta has had, and was
frequently selected by the people as
their representative on occasions
when it was necessary to put the
best foot forward in the community.

Can all the surplus beans, beets
and other vegetables for home use.
Following is a recipe for canning
beans: Use only young tender
beans. When the beans within the
pods have grown to any size, can
ning is more difficult, and the pro
duct of poorer quality. String the
beans and cut in two inch lengths.
Pre cook three to eight minutes.
Pack into well sterilized jars very
quickly. Add one teaspoon of salt
to each quart, and cover with boil
ing water. Process intermittently,
or if very young tender beans are
used, process for two consecutive
hours.
Canned Beets. Only young, ten
der beets should be used. Sort, put
ting uniform sizes together. Boil
until three-fourths done, peel, pack
in layers of three or four, fitting
the second layer into the spaces left
by the first layer, and repeat. Cover
with clear, hot water. One teaspoon
of salt may be added to each quart,
if desired. Process quart jars one
|to two hours. Do not allow cold
! water to touch the beets after they
have been cooked.

Prepare fruit juices for winter
use now. These juices may be used
for fruit drinks, or may be made in
to jelly in the winter.
* * *
Berry Juices. The fruit should
be washed, and carefully drained.
Water is added at the rate of 1 cup
for each five pounds of prepared
fruit. The fruit is put on the stove,
brought almost to the boiling point,
and heated until the berries become
soft. The vessel is removed from
the fire, and allowed to stand five
minutes. The juice is carefully
strained through a sieve.
One cup of sugar is added to each
gallon of juice. The juice is then
put into bottles, or jars, placed in
a water bath, and heated until the
juice has reached a temperature
just below boiling, holding quart
jars at this temperature for 25
minutes. Seal and store in a cool,
dark place.
Blackberries, himalaya berries,
raspberries, dew berries, or straw
berries, may be used in this recipe.

Daily Charges By First
National Bank On Checks
The First National Bank is hand
ling the new federal tax on checks,
which went into effect on Tuesday of
last week, by making daily charges,
adding the two cents tax to the a
mount of each check, and deducting
the total amount from the deposit
ors balance.
The national government made
no mention of how the tax is to be
handled, but merely saying that it
is to be imposed and remitted peri
odically to the collector of internal
revenue. Some banks are trying
several methods in an attempt to
see which is the more satisfactory.
It has suggested that some action
may be taken by the federal govern
ment concerning the matter after a
short period.
The Winder News says the tax
payers of Barrow county are con
siderably stirred up because of the
assessments the tax equalizers are
placing on the property. The prop
erty of hundreds of tax payers was
raised by the equalizers, in view of
the fact that all property values
have declined. The News adds,
“One thing we can rest assured a
bout, and that is the people are in
dead earnest about tax reduction in
this county. There is one thing our
public officials have not yet realized,
from congress down, and that is
that all salaries and expenses must
come down in line with the ability
of the people to pay.”
In some sections of the city mos
quitoes have been quite annoying
for the past weeks, and sitting on
the front porch at night kept a per
son busy fighting the pests. Hence
we warn those who are experiencing
this trouble to be careful, and not
have the same tragedy that occurred
in Hazlehurst. “A citizen was on
his front porch one evening recent
ly,” reports The Hazlehurst News.
“The mosquitoes were unusually
bad, and he fought them with both
hands. His neighbor’s wife, on the
porch across the street, thought he
was waving at her, and now the
families don’t speak.”
MR. C. A. WADDELL DIES IN
FLORIDA
Death summoned from life to
Eternity on Saturday a. m. in the
early hours of the morning on June
the 11th, the soul of Curtis A. Wad
dell. He passed away in a calm,
gentle manner, at a hospital at Tam
pa, Fla., where he had suffered for
the past two months. All that
could be done for him was done.
His death was not unexpected to
relatives and friends here, for he
had been in failing health almost
three years.
Mr. Waddell was 45 years of age.
He was the older son of the late
Mr. James F. Waddell and Mrs.
Mary Johnson Waddell, both of
whom preceded him to the grave.
Mr. Waddell spent most of his life
in Jackson county, where he had
hundreds of friends, who are griev
ed over his passing. He had been
in Florida for the past eight years,
and by his clean dealings and manly
manners, he had gained hundreds of
friends there. He will be greatly
missed in his community. He was
a useful man, an honest, truthful,
good citizen.
He was a member of the Baptis.„
church, and had been since young
manhood. He always attended
church services.
Mr. Waddell w-as married twice.
His first marriage was to Miss Ber
tie McDonald, of Jackson county,
who preceded him to the grave. His
second marriage was to Miss Lenora
Newbourn, of Tampa, Fla. Eight
children blessed his marriages, two
of whom preceded him to the grave,
and six daughters survive him.
He was a very devoted husband
and father, and always cheerful.
He will be sadly missed in the
home.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Baptist church at Sulphur
Springs, Fla., Monday afternoon,
June 13, and interment was in the
cemetery there. The pastor of the
church conducted services. The
flowers were many and beautiful.
Mr. Waddell leaves to mourn
his death, his widow, and the
following children: Mrs. Reba
Cone, Mrs. Nena Calhoun, Misses
Frances, Mary Curtis, Grace and
Deloris Waddell, ail of Tampa; a
step-mother, and five brothers and
three sisters here: Mrs. Helen
Waddell, Messrs. Summie, Allen,
Guy, Willie, Paul, Misses Mary Lee
and Oma Waddell, and Mrs. La
trelle Holland; a host of relatives
and friends here, and also in Flori
da, who will be grieved to learn of
his passing.
Mrs. B. R. Vaughn
Mrs. B. R. Vaughn, a native of
Franklin county, who made her
home in Commerce while Mr.
Vaughn served as chief of police of
that city for a number of years,
passed away last week. Prior to
her marriage, she was Miss Mamie
Alexander.
The funeral was held from Bold
Spring church Friday morning at
10 o’clock, with Rev. W. E. Purcell,
assisted by Rev. H. R. Foster and
Rev. Mr. Webb, of Lavonia, officiat
ing.
The deceased is survived by the
following children: Mrs. Jesse Farr
of Augusta; Messrs. Keith and Reed
Vaughn of Commerce; Ben, Robin
and Joe Vaughn of Bold Spring.
If Editor Lon Burton, of the La
nier County News, did not have a
male cognomen, we certainly would
give him credit for belonging to the
“female of the species,” for he per
mitted the following to get into his
editorial column last week: The
average man kills about eight hours
a day doing practically NOTHING r
while his WIFE puts in about six
teen hours WORKING. And still
he wants to be petted when he gets
home and sympathized with on hav
ing to work so hard.”
We extend our deepest sympathy
to Editor J. P. Davidson of the
Cleveland Courier, on account of
the death of his father, who passed
away Friday. Mr. Davidson was a
native of Scotland, coming to this
country when he was thirteen years
of age. He had been postmaster of
Cleveland for thirty-four years, and
was one of the most prominent citi
zens of that section of Georgia.
Hon. John N. Holder has announc
ed as a candidate for Governor. To
him is due the honor more than to
any one individual that this state
did not bond for a huge sum for
highways. He towers like a moun
tain peak above some who seek this
office. He is a good man.—Adel

AS A MEMORIAL TO A BELOVED
VETERAN, MR. N. G. TROUTT,
OF PENDERGRASS
Once again our hearts are saddened.
For a friend has passed away,
And another place is vacant
In the thinning ranks of gray.
When the South he loved so dearly,
Startled, heard war’s dread alarms.
He was quick to answer Ready,
To the stirring call “To Arms!
Many years of storm and sunshine
He has answered duty’s call;
Faithful still to friend and comrade,
He was honored, loved by all.
Now the tired feet are resting,
For the weary march is done;
And, the last hard battle over,
Peace is his, the victory won.
Never once his courage faltered,
Soldier like he stood the test,
Till he crossed the silent river,
There beneath the trees to rest.
Few are left who stood beside h’.m
In those thrilling days of yore;
Soon the army all will answer
Roll call on the other shore.
Now we weave a garland of memo
ries,
Memories twined with flowers ' are '
Place it over our fearless hero,
Bid its perfume linger there.
