A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
Beloved, let us love one another,
for love is of Gcd; and every one that
loveth is born of God, and knoweth
God. He liiat loveth not, knoweth not
God; for God is Jove. —I John 4:7-8.
We deck our heaven with images of
earth,
And give to angel hosts a human
form.
Our dearest dreams are built on tast
ed joys.
Our evils are our Own —— our own
the po#er.
To make them naught, and so to con
summate
The beauty of the fairest world jve
know.
—Charlotte Murray.

* THE MOSSBACK DANGER.
WESTINGHOUSE wireless opera
tors estimate that several hun
dred thousand persons heard a ser
mon sent out by radiophone. The
preacher was Rev. Dr. Charles Lee
Reynolds, pastor of the Park Presby
terian church. Newark, N. J.
After preaching 20 minutes, Rev.
Mr. Reynolds said to his invisible au
dience: “At this point in a»y serv
ice 1 would take up a collection. But
1 don’t see how 1 can ask my radio
collection vo give an offering. Ami
1 can’t ask you to join in singing a
hymn.”
In a short time, wireless sending
outfits will be as common as wireless
receiving stations.
Before Rev. Mr. Reynolds is many
years old, he may hear an invisible
congregation of wireless telephone
operators answer him with a hymn
sung by several million’voices.
Trains on Henry Ford’s railroad,
tine D., T. & 1., soon will be “dis
patched” by wireless. No teleg/aph
wires tp blow down, during a blizzard,
balling up the service and imperiling
life.
Tens of thousands of farmers art*
getting, every night, the weather
forecasts, crop reports and market
quotations sent; out by wireless tele
phone by Department of Agriculture.
Twice a month, Uncle Sam’s pub
lic health service broadcasts a wire
less telephone health lecture.•
The amateiSr wireless’operator reg-*
ular hears grandopera, instrumental
ecwcerts and college glee chibs.
Andreas Dippel, veteran opera con
ductor. arranges to take grand opera
stars to &very part of America by
vaudeville circuit system. He’d bet
i ter move fast, for at least seven out
of 10 Americans soon 'will be hear
ing the best opera singers in the
world by wireless phone. Who’ll pay
them? New arrangements must be
piade.
A startling feature of the sudden
ly-arrived wireless telephone is that
the majority of its followers are boys
in knee pants.
Go into a store selling-wirelgss out
fits arid you’ll finyi six boys to every
adult among the customers.
The youngsters caught the idea in
a flash- and are “going to it.”
/ Meantime, the grown-ups are snor
ing away, with no definite idea what
this “wireless business” is all about.
Adult America will shortly be a
mossback, if it doesn’t weaken. The
youngsters are experimenting with
wireless wizardy while the rest of
ns 'ide in stage coaches.
ft A NATIONAL DISGRACE
ANY who read this Would have
ve/ ” n ~ l le battlefields of
y p ce, or been permanently crip
out had it not been for the Ameri
e v e‘r,h)iers now known as “diasbled
veterans.” ’ K
They stopped the enemy and his
bullets. That shortened the war
ended it before more of the folks
back home were drawn into the cas
ualty lists..
The lucky ones who came through
the war uninjured are enjoying peace.
But the war goes on forever for the
disabled soldier.
In most cases, his battle will last
until bis death.
And it is a battle that he is fight
ing largely alone.
More than three years have passed
nice the Armistice. The disabled
war. veterans, far from enjoying the
comforts that are rightly theirs by all
laws of decency, again are compelled
fight for fair, square treatment
by the national government .
. The situation discloses gross neg-
lect and an almost criminal stupidity I
in niishandling the disabled soldiers. ;
It is becoming an old story. And '
it is shadowed by talk of “national
ingratitude.”
There, is, however, no- ingratitude, i
The American people are fully aware
of the tremendous debt they owe j
their crippled and maimed war he- I
I
roes.
The American people stand ready ;
to foot the bill for whatever is neces- I
Isary to give these men a square deal.
Respnsibitity for this national dis
grace Is somewhere in Washington.
Pot will call the kettle black. t'Ae
buck will be passed freely between j
congress and the Veterans’ Bureau. •
The unscrupulous will coin politi- I
cal capitaljout of the situation.
1 After all is said a-,’d done! the real j
trouble is .nothing but red tape and j
stupidity. It is unbelievable that
any American official or representa
tive is voluntarily throwing ohstruc- ,
tions in the disabled veterans’ path. ,
What is needed in. Washington is >
a little common sense.
In all the history of our republic
there never haS been as black a dis- j
grace as the neglect of disabled vet-1
erans. The public, refusing to be- i
lieve that Uncle Sam’s efficiency has ‘
fallen to zero, demands action, fast I
and thorough.
Harding is having his old shoes
half-soled; but all of us can’t be
president.
Will Hays has quit work and gone ‘

LETTERS FROM
j THE PEOPLE
| Editor Times-Recorder: I noticed
1 in your paper some time ago an arti
cle written by a prominent citizen
agitating a reduction' in rates on fire
insurance in the city of Americus,
which 1 think was a good move and
appreciated by every man who owns
property and has insurance on same
—and I think the time is ripe for an
other movement toward making liv
ing in Americus “possible.”
I have reference to the man who
owns property and is renting it soat
| to the salaried man at an exhorbitant
price of rent. In order to make
Americus more attractive' to the in
dividual there must be a reduction in
rents and that atjonce. Nearly every
other line of the necessarits- of life
have been reduced but rents—and it i
still hangs on the same, notwith-I
standing the fact that men are being j
cut off without work every day—-
wnile the remainder are having their
salaries cut to such an extent that it
renders them unable to pay their bills
.that tire necessary, and meet the
price of rents that landlords are
charging.
This is the next step that should be
taken up for the welfare of Ameri
cus’ salaried men who are trying to
rear a family, buy clothing, pay light
bills, coal bills, water bills, insurance
ami a' number oi other incidental fl
ponses and then pay their grocery
bills and pay $25.00 for a house that
should rent for $15.00 and $40.00 for
one that should rent for $25.00. ;
Yours truly, CITIZEN.
