A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
Jesus, knowing that the Father
had given all things into his hands,
and that He was come from God,
and went to God . . . began to wash
the disciples' feet.—John 13:3-5.
Practice hurtrility. Be content to
the last of §il and least of all. Do
not be ill-tempered with yourself nor
with God because you seem to be
the last and least of the saints. If
we find that we have to take the
lowest place, let us take it quietly,
and thank God.—Bishop Wilkinson.

REGISTER TOR THE PRIMARY.
npilK state Democratic executive
* committee, in session in Atlanta,
has fixed Wednesday, September 13,
as the date for the statewide white
primary, re-adopting the rules here
tofore governing the primaries. This
virtually means that the state elec
tion will be held on September 13,
although the actual election does not
come until November, since nomina
tion in Georgia is usually equivalent
to election,
A few day? ago in this column it
was pointed out that if the women of
Sumter county are to have any con
siderable part in the fall election as
is contemplated by the law and as
they may later want to have, should
some issue that really interests them
arise, they must register' not later
than Saturday, May 6, with the coun
ty tax collector.
It costs nothing to register, other
than the payment of any 1921 taxes
by those few who may owe taxes in
their own name. Poll taxes are not
payable yet, and failure to register
will not exempt any woman from
paying poll taxes when due this fall,
since they are levied on all women
within the age limit, just as on the
men, whether they exercise privilege
of voting or not.
Women of Sumter county, if you
haven’t registered, do so at once. If
you have ever registered you need not
re-register unless you have changed
your place of residence as much as
from one militia district to another.
Registering does not carry with it
an obligation to vote if you do not
wish to vote. It merely qualifies you
to vote. And it is possible you may
desire to vote this fall. That cer
tainly will be true if some issues in
volving public morals or welfare aris
es. If you register you will be able
to vote if you care to. If you do not
yo ucannot possibly vote, however
bad’y yfeu may wish to or how vital to
you and your home or children the is
sue.
YOUR HOME.
A GREAT many unexpected things
** have happened in your life. Sup
pose that, unexpectedly, you were in
troduced to President Harding and
it were up to you to take him to
dinner. What then?
Well, your first impulse would be,
to take him to the finest hotel in
town.
However, if your wife happened
to be a maker of good waffles and'
you put the choice up to Warren G.,
he probably would prefer a waffle
dinner to anything the chef could
furnish at the leading local hotel. He
thinks Mrs. Harding is the best waf
fle-maker on earth.
President Harding is a great home
man. He loves his own home. He !
loves his home town. Anything con
nected with home, he is “ptrong lor.”
Detroit recently held a “Better
Home Week.” President Harding
heard about it and wrote to William
B. Wreford of the Detroit Board of
Commerce:
“It gives me especial pleasure to
record by endorsement and approval
of the Better Homes Week which you
are planning in Detroit. It may be
trite, but it is everlastingly true that
the home is the corner-stone of our
civilization. Better homes, more at
tractive homes, homes whose occu-’
pants will find true refreshment and .
real inspiration to increased efforts I
for education and culture—such ]
homes are the ones which assure
greatest stability to our institution.|
greatest security to our society. I
cannot but feel that the effort you
are making in Detroit is one which
deserves a wider protection, and
would be glad if your example might
presently be an inspiration to a na
tion-wide enterprise of the same
kind.”

lems.” But, in the last analysis the

You’ve been here a good while, my dears,” he said kindly.
JUST as the dove had promised,
** when the Twins had seen all of
the wonderful circus in the sixth val
ley, Flippety-Flap, a little fairy,
spoke to them.
‘You’ve been here a good while,
my dears,” he said kindly. "And
the Fairy Queen’s work is waiting.
So is the dove.”
Nancy and Nick seemed to wake
up as though from a dream. "Oh,”
said Nancy,” where are we?” And
then she remembered.
They hurried away then and
found the dove waiting for them as
he had promised, on a hawthorne
tree.
“Come,” said he kindly. “You’re
■late, but you couldn’t help it. Just
one more valley and we’re there, at
the end of our journey.
Away he flew and the Twins fol
lowed along the little green path
that led over the hill and into the
seventh valley, the last valley they
were to cross before reaching the
Kingdom of the Korsknotts. They
were to get the third peg from the
heel of King Verdo’s left boot, you
know.
Again the dove gave them some
advice. “1 shall wait for you as be-

THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY.
(From the Times-Recorder April
28, 1892.)
The seven young men who stood
the examination to enter the naval
military academy today are: Charles
F. Callaway, of Americus; H. W.
Frederick, of Marshallville; C. P.
Burt, of Americus; H. W. Bryant, of
Andersonville, I. P. Solomon, of
Americus; C. F. Harrell, of Lump
kin, and J. T. Hill, Jr., of Tippet
ville.
Mr. E. C. Speer has looked very
home is the greatest national prob
lem.
When our young folks seem to go
astray, the real trouble is in their
homes.
And, too, any "national problem”
ultimately resolves itself down into
a straight proposition of how it will
affect our homes.
Home is the fundamental thing. It
iis the core of life, the generator of
inspiration, our comfort during de
pression, our haven during storms.
Given a good home, it is a mighty
poor stick of a man or woman who
doesn’t come out on top.
Wherefore, home-life is the barom
eter of national conditions the
straw that shows the way the wind
is blowing.
The things men do are of second
ary importance. What counts most
is in the home—and that is up to
women, the real makers of America.

HURT ALL OVER
Texas Lady Couldn’t Sit, Stand or
Lie With Any Comfort. Says
“Cardui Did World
of Good.”
Bartlett, Texas.—Mrs. Nannie Mes
ser, of Route 3, this place, states:
"About three years ago I was in a
very critical condition. I had been
suffering for some time. To tell how
I hurt would be impossible.
"I just hurt all over. I couldn't sit,
stand or lay with any comfort, my
back, sides and head all gave me a
great 'deal of trouble.
"I was especially bothered with a
light swimming in my head. My
people were very uneasy about me and
sent me to my relatives to see if a
change would do me any good.
"I stopped at a sister-in-law’s and
she being a great believer in Cardui,
asked me why I didn’t use it. I de
cided to try It . . .
“I had only taken a few doses when
I felt it would do me good. This
gave hopes and I used it right along
and it did me just a world of good,
since which time I have never ceased
to praise Cardui.”
Cardui is for simple female com
plaints and womanly pains and has
been found to benefit in thousands of
sueb cases when not due to malfor
mation or that do not require surgical
treatment. Try it. NC-136a
