EDIT O RIALS < < Indian Summer In Georgia— One may look forward to some thoroughly enjoyable weather for the next few weeks. There is no more delightful sea son than a properly staged Au tum in the South. Days full of pep and sunshine, and night just chilly enough to make the blan kets welcome. Some light falls of frost and then the crowning feature of the season lndian Summer. Indian Summer is sometimes called St. Martin s Summer, be cause it usually comes about the time of the St. Martin’s festival, which is November 11 • Just how the name originated is not entirely clear, but it is evidently connected with the practices or beliefs of the white man’s predecessors on this con tinent. One authority says that the Indians harvested their corn during this period and had a tra dition that there were, always just nine days of Summer just before winter. Another traces it to a story that the Pilgrims weie told by the Indians that immediately aft er the cold weather of Autumn, Summer would come again. And still another says that the early settlers of the country welcomed the winter, because it stopped the Indians from making incur cians against their settlements, and referred to the warm spell of November as Indian Sum mer," because it gave the In dians another chance to attack the pale faces before winter. Whatever the origin of the name, we have with us now the most delightful season of the year. ¥ ¥ ¥ Radio Is Far From Perfection "1 never thought 1 would live to coax a grand organ recital out of something about twice as large as a cigar box, says George Ade. That sentence well expresses the amazing development of ra dio in this country during the last few years. It is typical of the way American business de velops something the public wants- At first it was necessary to string wires on top of your house, fool around with three or four dials and have unsight ly batteries, wires and loud speakers in your home. But the newest sets have no aerial, no batteries, visible or invisible, one dial control and everything contained in one beautiful cabinet that makes an attractive piece of furniture. But radio development is far from perfection. It is almost certain that still more changes will be made. It may be only a short time until the music of the famous cathedrals of Europe or the sing song melodies of the orient will be heard by the Kansas farmer whenever he wishes to turn on the radio. ¥ ¥ ¥ Our Government Is Safe— This is the newest great na tion, and one of the oldest. Edwin C. Aldrich of Oakland. Calif., claims to be the only liv ing son of the Revolution. His father, Caleb Aldrich, en tered the Revolutionary army as a drummer boy, at 14, and was afterward a private. His son, born when the father was 76, is now 87. Yet, of all nations, we are the one with the oldest constitution and the only one whose form of government has not been radi cally changed. Our experiment of freedom, then the newest and rashest thing in the world, is now the oldest and most conservative. Don't worry about ‘radical ism" in America. A country whose conservatism has outlasted all the rest of the world is not going to try any rash experiments. A THOUGHT Let us not therefore judge one another any more; but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way..—Rom, 14;13. ForKcar to for we are sinners all.—Shakespeare. __. _ s Gems Don’t Bring Joy— . Mrs. Jessie Woo]worth Dona . hue, heiress to the Woolworth millions, is robbed of jewels worth $750,000 in a New York hotel. A thief walks calmly into her apartment and takes the jew els from a bureau drawer, while she is in another room. Are such costly jewels worth all the worry they cause? We 11 bet Mrs. Donahue isn't | as happy with gems worth a mil lion as any poor boy is with 10 cents worth of shiny new mar bles. ¥ ¥ ¥ Papers Make . People’s Heroes— It takes newspapers to make ' heroes, said Commander Rog- ; ers, on his arrival at San Fran cisco, after the return of him self and companion "from the dead." Heroes, in fact., must first make themselves. There has to be real achievement to adver tise. But the advertising is also es sential, to attract public atten- I tion. For a hero is one who has j done something noteworthy which has also interested the j public. p You can make a curiosity out j of a man by pure advertising. You can make more out of him by advertising something wor- I thy. Press agents for political can didates understand their art ex- I s pertly. Jhe people s heroes are made by the papers. d And there is no greater re- j 4 sponsibility on the press of 5 America, in the case of Rogers they did a good and worthy job. 1 But, as their heroes are, so will the people be. “Let me make a nation's he- ' roes, and 1 do not care who 1 preaches its sermons.’’ 1 ¥ ¥ ¥ Gas Cuts Cost of Autos — Absolute control of heat thru 1 the use of gas, in melting metals employed in the manufacture of automobiles, has brought about ' large economies in production. Thousands of spare parts, fro merly rough cast and then ma- 1 chined to size, are now turned out by automatic dies with a degree of accuracy' impossible i under the old process. This | averts the waste due to rejection of imperfect casting and saves the expense of machining to size. I ¥ ¥ ¥ Wage Earners . • < In Better Positions— With the exception of a very | few lines, weekly earnings of I industrial workers are now j greater than a year ago, says the i Boston News Bureau. The Department of Labor ’ gets information as to size oi payrolls of representative estab lishments in leading industrial lines. These figures show industry generally is prosperous, else it would not continue to offer em ployment at apparently increas ing wage scales. The figures also show the average worker has more money than a year ago, so that he is in a better position to fill his needs and still have a surplus for savings. ■* * * Tax-Exempt Bonds Beat Government— How tax-free bonds increase the burden of taxpayers is set forth in a striking way by Julius H. Barnes, former Federal Grain Administrator. He puts it thus: "A man worth over $50,000,- 000 died last year. It develop ed he had paid no federal in come taxes since 1916, and le gally so- Instead, he bought tax-exempt bonds of his state and city, yielding 4 1 -2 per cent. | But for this he would have con tributed over $850,000 toward : the expense of his Federal gov ernment. “Federal expenses were not I one dollar less because he did not pay. “Who did pay the $850,- | 000?” MUDD CENTER FOLKS Oown marshal mosby's first atte>apt to APPLY THE.

Tbe payroll has been made up and Supt. Moore will distribute the sl,- 'BOO payroll among the Sumter ped i agogues. Americus friends of Mrs. James W. Furlow will be interested in knowing that she is now in New York studying voice, where Major Furlow will join her shortly. They expect to spend the early winter season there. Misses Ellie McLeendon and Ruth Sanborn left yesterday for Atlanta, where they will spend several days. TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times-Recorder Oct. 7 1905) Mr. W. M. Castleberry and bride so Montgomery are upon a visit to relatives in Americus, the former . home pf the groom. The bottom dropped out of the< cotton market yesterday morning and the entire heard of buis was let down into an abyss dug for them by the claws of bruin. The ruling price yesterday here was 9 1-2 cents against 9 3-4 cents paid the day be fore.

What that will mean to Caillaux ithe event will show. But what it would have meant to Woodrow Wilson is history. It would have meant personal and national victory, and American leadership of the world. It would have saved years of the chaos of European readjustment, and more gain to America, at less cost to Europe, that anything that can now be hoped from the debt payments. It w r ould, in fact, have changed the history of the world. Teamwork ’ and the co-operation of the leaders of all parties, put through the ■ I Washington Conference. | It would have put through the. Wilson ideals. One man’s tempera mental lonehandedness lost the, world more than can ever be meas- i ured, after the same man’s idealism had shown the way. SAKLATVALA’S EXCLUSION A MISTAKE Unless the ban on the entry to this country of S'aklatvala, Com munist member of Parliament, was at the request of the British gov ernment—the soundest opinion will be that the exclusion was a mistake of judgment. But not for the reasons usually given. It is not a matter merely of ‘‘free speech." The right peacefully to agitate for a change in the form of govern ment belongs to Americans, but not to foreigners. We have not only the right, but AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER .was a distinct disappointment to a 1 great portion of feminine Amerisuc in that it prevented many from at- ? tending the annual opening of Chas, r L. Ansley’s handsome store which, , as usual, was a bower of beauty in ; the splendid display of the season’s j novelties. THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY (From The Times Recorder, Oct. 7, s 1895) , The millinery opening and hand some displays of dry goods brought P out ladies in countless numbers , yesterday, hundreds viewing the - feast of beauty spread before them at the several palaces of I trade.

And. as to Saklatvala’s attacking the British government, we have al ready let De Valera do that, and Britain has let Saklatvala do it in the British Parliament itself. So neither free speech no inter national comity is involved. The only thing that is involved is the absurdity of putting an Ameri can censorship on Inter-Parliament ary Union, which is not an Ameri can body,, and whose proceedings are its business and not ours. If it does not want Saklatvala, should do the excluding. WRTOM 13) SIMS This country could be worse. In Siberia the soil freezes 65 feet deep. Imagine digging 65 feet for 1 fishing worms.

ANCIENT ALEPPO IS U. S. RELIEF CENTER BERIT, Syria, Oct. 6. The city i jof Aleppo, capital of North Syria, • is the scene of widespread Ameri-1 , lean relief activities at the present 'time. Aleppo, ancient citadel of| the worship of the Assyrian Baal, is now in the center of a huge refugee problem. Although the entire city ; ‘was destroyed by earthquake less 1 than 100 years ago, it has now a' population of 300,000, being tho fifth largest city in the Near East I and the second center of Armenian !

Kis next ad-, vance was that of typist, which j taught him the numerous forms of , letter-writing and enabled him to. hold a stenographic position, giv-1 ing him complete knowledge of let- I ter-writin,g. He was then made sec- ] retary. bringing him into contact with all business details and quali fied him for the general manager’s office at ten thousand per year. The same opportunity awaits ev ery young man and woman. Educa tion or age have nothing to do with ' operating so simple a machine as| the type writer. We are informed f that a great piece of benevolent j work is being carried on by a large i Chicago mail order house in fur nishing typewriters to people wor thy of credit, by selling on small month 1 -; installments, so low as to average about eight cents per day and actually teaching their custom ers how to use and operate any tpe writer in about three weeks’ time.

BACKACHE IS A WARNING Americus Folks Are Learning How | To Heed It Are you miserable with an ach ing back? Do you get up lame and stiff; drag through the day feeling tired, weak and discouraged? Then you should help your kidneys. Backache is often the first sign of failing kidneys. Urinary troubles quickly follow. Neglected, there’s danger of gravel, dropsy or fatal Bright’s disease. Don’t wait for se rious kidney sickness! Use Doan’s Pills, a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys, before it is too late. This Americus resident tells an experi ence. Mrs. W. I. Crapps, 912 Elmo SV. says: “My back ached constantly and when I stooped I could hardly get up. My kidneys acted too of ten and my feet bloated. I was nervous, too. After using Doan’s Pills from Howell’s Pharmacy, the bloating went down and I was rid of the backache.” Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Pills—the same that Mrs. Crapps had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.
