Buying Out the Boss Would things run smoothly if employes by purchase became their own employers? Not un less they united in an organiza tion with almost military discip line to handle the management. Petty jealousies and rivalries would be fatal. Every business, to be efficient, must have a Real Boss at its head, the same as an army must have a staff pre sided over by a general with the power of decision. One of the six oldest firms in the United States is Devoe & Reynolds, Co., Inc., manufac turers of paints and painters’ materials. It has been active for I 70 years. Sixteen of this company’s em ployes have recently taken over the business. They bought a controlling interest. It required a lot of money from each of the 16, it’s a big business. Such stories are becoming common —a small group of leading employes purchasing the interests of their boss. Later you will frequently read that thousands of employes have, by pooling their savings, bought out their employer. This may be the eventual so lution of the labor-capital prob lem. It certainly would go a long way toward making every man more or less his own boss. The income of the American people for six years is just about equivalent to the entire national wealth. It is more than enough to buy all the business organiza tions in the country, including sources of raw materials, rail roads and marketing organiza tions. Os course, all this income isn't available for any such purpose, -iving expenses have to be met first. Only savings could be de voted to buying ownership of industry. But it all illustrates the gi gantic power of the people s savings. By organization and sufficient time, employes could buy out all employers. Our original American set tlers discarded the monarchy idea in government. But they Brought over and clung to the monarchical system in business “-the employer the ruler, em ploys his subjects. We are grad rally m business getting a semb ance of the democracy we have m government., Final attain ment of the gasNsimay be through , pooled Buying power of em •loyes. The Enemies of Good Health If the average person got torn his auto as few miles per [allon of gasoline, as much en ;ine trouble or as irregular ser !ce as most of us are content ° get from our bodies, he would aake changes. Dr. Frances 'cott of Smith College, says this 1 a lecture. flow many people taltfe as ood care of their bodies as iey do of their autos or radios? And yet the human body, a lousand times more delicate 1,111 the auto, radio or any oth r machine, is given very little tention. Its f ue l (f ood ) is f e d > 't haphazardly, with little of lG f are L We bestow in buying "\ s or the auto or batteries or ■bes for the radio. ■ he owner, careful not to put ■° much juice on the filaments ■ f ra dio tubes or too heavy task on his auto, repeatedly ows too much strain on his y --especially its nerves, and heart. note d surgeon, Dr. Chas. Mayo, probably had all this mmd when he said recently 't civilization can end "mass eases (such as yellow fever) individual ailments (such as cer and nervous indigestion) gaining. jiet and proper exercise —• lect of these are the big mies of health, Dr. Mayo ihasizes. Continuous over-eating is the bane of modern existence/* Not only oVer-eating, but eat ing the wrong combinations of food . , . Putting molasses in the gasoline tank and sand in the gears. One trouble with most peo ple is that they want to buy,, good health and long life in pill or botled form. That's why the monkey gland experimenters r P°P u l ar fancy. They held forth the promise of health and longevity without individual effort in the matter of food and exercise. This bottle-and-pill fetish is further illustrated in the annual '"'ll® our country—soo million dollars, 300 millions of which are spent on so-called patent medicines. Thirty years ago only 2699 drug items were on the market. Today the figure is over 45,000. BOOM ‘ So goes the steel industry, so goe s general business. This coun try s production of steel ingots in September was a half more than in July, the very dull month. One more climb like that and the steel mills will be operating at top speed, capacity, advertising for help. ’ American industry certainly must be in good health when its recuper ative power is so great. To crawl halfway out of hard times in 60 days is quite a feat. Old-time panics used to drag along for years. PERISHED It’s the iron age. For every 100 tons of steel manufactured in a year, 41 tons wear out by use and by rust. The rest is more durable —such as rails, bridges and ma chinery that last for years. But the wearing out of such a large amount, and the need of new steel to replace it, insures the mills of a good “blacklog” of orders. So with other industries. The necessity . of replacing the old and worn-cat with the new to take its place would bring business booms if nothing else did. * * » LOW For a country facing enormous reparations payments, Germany cer tainly isn’t taxing her people heavily. The German government’s gross public revenues, from taxes and all other sources, are averaging less than two billion American dollars a year. While that’s a respectable sum, and far beyond the grasp of most imaginations, it isn’t amiss to point out that victorious Americans are paying about twice as muph taxes as vanquished Germans. Os course, our population is nearly ' twice as big. We can wish you noth ing better than that you may live until Germany pays in full. .* * » INJUNS Indians in the U. S. total about 347,000 now, Uncle Sam reports. Nearly half of them live in Okla homa. Our red population has gained over 16,000 in 11 years. There are more Indians on this continent now than when Columbus discovered America. It’s a myth that they are a vanishing race. In time, though, they will disappear, min gling with the general population by marriage. * » * COUSIN Clhmpionship is claimed by A. M. Buote of East Taunton, Mass., who has 94 first cousins. His-moth er had 43 nephews and nieces his father 51. Some one has figured out that you had several thousand great grandfathers, if you go back a few centuries. In your veins figura tively flows the blood of all of them. Many of the strangers you pass on the street are distanly re lated to you—hundreds of them A pretty good argument for practicing the Brotherhood of >Man. ♦ « » SPENDING Yes, times have been dull. The American people spent only 37.060 million dollars during September As usual, 95 per cent of this grand total was in the form of bank checks that passed through the clearing houses. TWENTY-FIVE KILLED IN THEATER STAMPEDE ATHENS, Greece, Oct. 21. Twenty-five persons were killed and 18 injured in a stampede in a moving picture house at Athens Sunday evening, caused by a false alarm of fire. Most of the victims ■ were children. It is believed the alarm was raised by pickpockets. 200,000 AUTO TOURISTS EXPECTED THRU SPARTA SPARTA, Ga., Oct. 21.—(Spe cial.) It is estimated by authorities here that at least 150,000 people passed through this city over the Dixie highway last year en route from northern and eastern states, to Florida and south Georgia cities to spend the winter. The travel this year is heavier than last, and it is estimated that the number this year will run over 200,000. These travelers are from the north and east, and some of them come from the west as far as Washington, J Remants Out in the yard there’s a garden, once fair, but it’s withered and fad ed away. Only a trace of what used to be there is the sight that will greet you today. During the summer it echoed of toil through the blossoms that shone in the sun. Somebody played with and planted the soil, but the growth thus created is done. Stems that were once in their greenest of green and stood proud ly high in the air, now droop in Old Days In Amerieus TEN YEARS AGO TODAY Monday, no paper published. twenty years ago today (From The Times Recorder. Oct. 21, 1904.) Messrs. Thad and Sam Wise left Tuesday for St. Louis and from there will go to’ New Orleans, Thad to pursue his studies in medicine and Sam to begin the study of med icine. The announcement this morning of the marriage of Miss Ethel Bais den and Mr. Samuel Heys will be a genuine and pleasurable surprise to their host of friends, although the fact of their engagement has for some time been known and the wedding was expected at an early date. Repairing to the parlors of the Hotel Lanier with several Am ericus friends they took upon them selves the vows that bind for life. The bride is one of Amerieus’ most engaging and charming young wo men, a social favorite since her debut two seasons ago and is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Baisden. Mr. Heys is ex tremely popular in social and busi ness circles, and is to be congratu lated upon his bearing off such a prize at the fair. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Weeks on Jackson street was the scene of an interesting wedding last evening when their niece, Miss Zettis Elizabeth Peel, became the bride of Mr. W. C. Kent. The hand some couple were the recipients of many beautiful wedding gifts. Many families have removed to Americus this fall and others are happy on the way. Our population is far over the 10,000 mark now. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times Recorder. Oct. 21, 1894.) It may be a little late for snake stories, but here is one worth men tioning. At Barlows mill tyoawiks from town, Jack Tinsley and Gus Harris, Jr., killed an immense rat tler yesterday. His snakeship was six feet in length, nine inches around the middle x mid sported eighteen rattles. The boys will stuff the beautiful skin. Yesterday was another red let ter day with Americus warehouses, receipts by wagons alone amounting to 823 bales. Besides this several carloads came in by rail, running the total receipts considerably over 1,000. Americus is the best in terior cotton market in Southwest Georgia, drawing the staple from distant points as well as the coun try round about. Such a big rush of trade as Messrs. Wheatley and Ansley had yesterday is seldom seen in Octo ber even with cotton at ten cents, and the way goods went off was a surprise to other houses whose clerks stood in the front doors and took a census of the streams of people who went into’the mammoth concern. Yesterday looked like circus day in Americus, though the crowds of people were in better humor than on that occasion recently. All day long the side walks were jammed Truth is stranger than fiction, and, among our present books a stranger to fiction. The soil of Siberia is sometimes frozen to a depth of 63 feet, so it is very difficult to dig fishing worms. The Dead Sea is fishless, compar ing in this way favorably with all streams, lakes and seas. The lengths of a mile vary in dif ferent countries, and with different people you ask. The visiting card is of Chinese origin, and so, evidently, is the habit of signing letters. While yellow is the favorite color of Chinese officials they are busy <jow seeing red. They held a parade of girls with long hair in Hull, England, which was very nice and quaint arid old fashioned. A man in Washington has devel oped a stingless bee, which should be shipped in large quantities for picnics. Germany plans to lead the world in aircraft building. She once mis led in aiveastle building. THE AMERICUS TfMES-RECORDER V sadnesS, just making a scene that is totally wretched despair. The warm summer sun has neg lected® the spot while the chill winds have taken its place. Beautiful blos soms have shriveled to rot and of beauty there’s hardly a trace. Just one little rose in this garden still grows, but ’twill fade ere much time can elapse. ’Tis, surround el by death, maybe gasping for breath. I ’s the last rose of summer, per haps. with a moving mass of humanity t nd trade was above the hig water mark. , , LjfSIITTTSr WHFELER WILL MUKE TPO ÜBLEIIM Hunt Thinks 69th Session of ■ Upper House Will Be Sideshow WASHINGTON, Oet. 2 # '.—Fcr the humorously inclined, there is a vast range of possibilities in the si tuations that will inevitably arise as the result of the approaching ele ction. No matter who is elected—Coo lidge arid Dawes, Davis and Bryan, or La Follette and Wheeler —the United States Senate is certain to be the' setting of some situations that for sheer humor will out reach the wildest imaginigs of the burles que librettist or the comic suppie men artist. For those who do not take their politics and their congressmen and senators too seriously, Washington during the next Congress wi : ’ be better than a sideshow. * * • Consider the situation in the Sc n; te should the Coolidge-Dawes ticket come through a winner. Jawes becomes vice president. Hi.- sole duty is to preside over the Senate; to decide points of oilier in accordance with the rules and prccendts and to be an impar tial arbiter in the matter of pro cedure. He has no vote, except in case of a tie, and no voice in debate Down on the floor, on the Repub j li an side of the aisle, will sit Sen-1 r.tor Brookhart of lowa, who fougatj r wes as the‘candidate of his own ; Tty and demanded that he be re moved from the G. O. P. ticket. Will Dawes recognize Brookhart len the lowa senator arises to r ike some remarks? If he does, < if he doesn’t, interesting and ex- I isive things may happen. Match ai d powder keg will be in juxtapo se (ion. The possibility of a blc.wup v ill be ever present. » * ♦ Consider, too, the dramatic poss ibilities underlying an average speech of Caraway of Arkansas, Ca i way is the Democrats expert inner, and he speciliazes in tak ing the hide of the G. O. P. ele phant. Students of the effect of mind er matter will crowd the Senate "l‘ tileries to watch the physical and emotional reaction on Dawes as Ca raway slips his knife through the iiepublican cuticle and proceeds to lay bare the carcass beneath. Ca away carws with a careless •nnd which has pricked the risibilitie > of iuch more repressed men than Dawes. Can “Hell-an* Maria” Dawes, in Mich a situation, be expected to fol low the traditions of vice presiden- No stage drama will have any thing on the tneseness of that time, trnl ethics? ■pplexy. Unleashed emotion would bring real fireworks. Repressed emotion might bring - on » » » On the other hand, should the, Davis-Bryan band wagon bring the* Democratic candidates to Washing tio*, consider for a moment the agony of soul and spirit that would tear at the very vitals of Henry Cabot Lodge when he arose in his chair and” sought the privilege of . ecognition from “Brother Charley” Next to having to appeal on ben ded knee to the Council of the Lea gue of Nations for permission to run for re-election, one can think of no pill quite so complete, as for this blue-blooded dean of the Senate aristocracy, long the sage and intellectual leader in the upper house, to be compelled to ad iress his newcomer from Nebraska: ”11 tlie president please.” There, indeed, would be a real drama of soul. Or melodrama. • « • In either case, whether Brian r Dawes presides in the Sixty-nhith lenate, there will be on the floor a thorn in the side of either or both ; arties as the situation may decree, La Follette and Wheeler. They will be there as senators unless one of them is there as the presiding officer while the other sits at the White House, Suspense? Human interest? Drama? That’s what Washington is go ing to be full of nothing else but - , as Tom Heflin would say. OUR BOARDING HOUSE , ; t By Ahern THCTS-TH" Y EGAD, DUGAN MY A PIE HOUSE OH OUP, CIRCUIT, ; MAN —I.
