A Thought
Come now, and let us reason
together, saith the Lord; though
your sins be as scarlet, they
shall be as white as snow; though
they be red like crimson, they
shall be as wool.—lsa. 1:18.
God’s way of forgiving is thor
ough and hearty—both to for
give aand forget; and if thine be
not so, thou hast no portion of
his.—Leighton.
WHAT’S YOUR
TIME WORTH?
When you go to buy a pair of
boots, a can of peas or a kitchen
cabinet, do you know exactly what
you want—or do ycu ‘‘shop around’
and take pot luck?
You can save many hour’s time
■—and many a good hard dollar—
by knowing beforehand what you
want, where to get it, and approxi
mately how much it will cost.
You can always know this much
before you enter a store.
If it’s clothing, you know how
well it should wear and what the
style should be, If it’s a musical in
strument, you know what to expect
in tone and workmanship. If it’s
a carpet sweeper, you know what
kind of service it should give.
Merchants with established repu
tations for honesty are the best
with whom to deal.
Merchandise with established
reputation is the best to buy.
The only way to be sure'of the
goods you buy is to read the adver
tisements in this paper regularly
As a practice it’s far better than
rummaging around.
It saves time. It saves money.
Read the advertisements.
GONE OUT
OF BUSINESS.
There is an old Latin adage
which says, “Caveat Emptor.’’
Translated, it means, “Let the
Buyer beware.’’
It put the burden of seeing
that one got his money’s worth
on the purchaser. It warned him
to enter a shop with his eyes
wide open, to have faith in no
one, to keep his fingers crossed
and then trust to Providence that
he didn’t lose his eye teeth in the
bargain.
Advertising hits put "Caveat
Emptor’’ out of business.
Today, merchants and manu
facturers can’t afford to risk
the disappointment and disap
approval of a dissatisfied cus
tomer. It is too easy for the cus
tomer to pick up a paper and find
plenty of other places where
real dollar value is given and
where they practice the modern
slogan "We stirve to please.”
The god will of the buying
public is the goal of the modern
seller. Without it, his business
cannot ucceed.
Every time he advertises he
puts his good name in your
hands. His products must make
good. They must be as adver
tised.
That's why it pays to read the
advertisements and to buy adver
tised goods. It’s a good business
policy.
THE POT CALLS
THE KETTLE BLACK.
Charles D. Hillis, Republican na
tional committeeman from New
York, says the election of Henry
Ford, to whom he refers as “a mere
bag of gold,” to the presidency
would be bowing down to mammon.
If that’s not the pot calling the
kettle black, what is? A Republican
national committeeman railing
about bowing down to mammon—
to money—to gold. It’s amusing.
The Republican party has had its
head so deep in the "pots of .gold”
it hasn’t stopped to look over the
top and see whether it is day or
night. There’s no eight hour shift
there.
“You scratch my back and I'll
scratch yours,” is their plea and
platform.
“Contribute to our campaign
funds and you can write the tariff
schedule, says the campaign treas
urer as he panhandles Wall Street.
They are “skeered” of Henrv,
for a fact. Henry won’t "put.”
A STORY THAT
BR‘NGS THE TEARS.
Following is a story that ap
peared in the Sunday papers
You’ll be none the less manly, be
cause it brings a tear to your
masculine lids.
The man who wrote it will al
ways be unknown to the publie.
He is just “a correspondent for
the Associated Press,” one of th“
thousands who are daily covering
| you with the news and happen
! ings of the day. But he possesses
the soul of a poet and the sym
i pathy of a woman.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June
I 30.—While his mother sat at the
i head'of the table weeping, with
her face buried in her hands. 30
men who bear lasting scars of
their services for the allies in
the world war last night silently
drank a toast to a man who went
down on a German U-bogt in
1918.
He was the son of Madame
Ernestine Schumann-Keink, in
whose honor, as "the most dis
tinguished delegate” to the con
vention of the disabled American
Veterans of the World War, a
dinner was given.
“I have two things to ask of
you.” Madame Schuman-Heink
said. “Will you promise me these
two things?”
“First, that you will never be
lieve any false stories you may
hear about me, stories that I was
a German spy, that I was untrue
to this, my country, and to you.
“The second promise I ask of
you is that, when I am dead, and
it won’t be many more years now,
you will see to it that I am bur
ier in America, in my country.
And, boys, maybe 1 could have in
away, the burial of a soldier.
Not any fuss.
"Have them play the ‘Taps’
over my grave, as I have sung it
to you. Will you promise?”
Every one of the 30 veterans
silently stood up as she finished,
raised his right hand and gave his
solemn pledge.
"I had a son in the German
navy. He was mistaken, but he
did what he believed was right.
I will not apologize for him. I
never have. Remember, boys, I
was his mother, the same as I
was the mother of four sons serv
ing with my country’s forces,”
said Madame Schutnann-Heink.
"And now,” Colonel George E.
Leach, mayor of Minneapolis,
said. “I promise a toast to that
man who went down on the Ger
man U-boat in 1918.
Silently the 30 men arose
and raised their glasses. Madame
Schumann-Heink sank into hei
chair and covered her face with
her hands. Ker sobs could be
heard by all.
And then those 30 men paid
her perhaps the finest tribute
she has ever received. Silently,
with bowed heads, they stood
and waited until she had left the
room.
Many years ago we knew a lit
tle man, with a broken voice,
who once sang on the Metropol
itan stage with Madame Schu
mann-Heing. K'e was perpetually
broke. Seldom did he have a dime.
Word came one day that the
great singer would pass through
the little Southern town where
our friend was living. Begging a
dime here, borrowin'- a nickle
there, he succeeded in accumulat
ing several dollars. Rushing to
the florist he demanded the best
in his shop.
When the train came to a mo
mentary halt, he sprang to the
platform and into the arms of
the great singer. She crushed him
to her breast and as they stood
there, the tears streaming from
their eyes, each wished the other
never-ending success and happi
ness. This little old broken man,
with frayed coat and soiled col
lar, was dearer to the woman’s
heart than the multitude which
hail gathered to welcome her.
EDITORIAL
COMMENT
HE BEAT JUDGE FISH
Judge "Dick” Russell will dis
cover some day that all of his op
ponents are not fish.—Brunswick
News.
RUSSELL FOR THE SENATE.
Speaking of Judge Russell’s
candidacy for the United States
Senate against Senator William
J. Harris, the Columbus Enquir
er-Sun says:
“Chief Justice Russell, of the
supreme court of Georgia, is in
the race for the United States
senate against Senator Harris,
according to news reports
ports. And it sems as if it were
the other day he was go
ing around soliciting votes for
the office he now holds. At
that time we gained the impres
sion that is was absolutely es
sential for the good of Geor
gia and to keep up the fine tra
ditions of our State supreme
court that Justice Russell should
be elected. If there is more hon
or in being a United States sena
tor than chief justice of the
supreme court of Georgia, some
thing is wrong with the calibre
of men we select for our State
supreme bench.”
"Judge Russell is a chronic of
fice seeker and seems never to
be satisfied. If he is as wise as
we think he is hd will “lay off”
of Karris and hold to what he
has already got.
A man who holds a public of
fice should stick to the. job t
which he was elected. There has
been entirely too much of this
thing of eternal politicing in the
state. No sooner are the ballots
counted, than some of our public
servants are out for another.
AVOIDING CRITICISM
Says the Waycross Journal;
‘There ’ s a sure w ay to avoid
criticism—do absoultely nothing
and be nothing. No man ever ac
complished anything worth while
without arousing the notice of
I the critics, so if you have no cri-
I tics it might be a good idea to

BASEBALL HISTORY
I ve seen Babe Ruth when he lined ’em out,
lor many and many a circuit clout,
I’ve seen Tris Speaker and Ty Cobb too
Performing wonders that thrilled me through-
But thd greatest kick that I ever got ’
Came from a game on the home-town lot
When we hung on our rivals the Indian sign
By a score of fifty to forty-ine.
hrom two till si x of a summer’s day
We battled on in a bitter fray,
Aand the crack of hits was a fusilade
As we played, and played, and played, and played
Except for the times when we had to wait
Till the crowd quit fighting around th’ -lU’-
For our sporting ethics werd none too ine ’
When we won by fifty to forty-ni mJ
I pitched till my arm was wrenched and sore
Allowing just seventy hits—no more;
While the other twirler, as I recall, ’
Was socked for a hundred and ten in all'
The errors? Get this into your nut—
The game was errors and nothing but’
Yet, oh the thrill of my life was mine
When we won by fifty to forty-nine.
