Thursday, October 26, 1922. THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING. There is aparenlly no more firm believer in advertising than lion. J.'K. (“Bunk”; Cooper of Macon. Restrained by th clawyers’ rule of ethics from open advertising, he is compelled to resort to other tactics to keep himself in the limelight; but he keeps himself there with rather consistent regu larity anr apparent satisfaction to himself. Having just passed through his second or third race for the United States Senate, he may very properly console himself that he has not lost any ground since his last race. He seems to be the one man who can run from time to time and count with certainty upon no debection from the ranks of his supporters. What he loses in one county, he can easily make up in another, and all things consid ered, he is satisfied to see his name printed among the also rans. The lesson Mr. Cooper teaches to others is •worthy to be remembered. With persistent regu larity he announces for the Senate, pays his assess ment fee and waits for results. Besides that, he bpends good money in advertising through the daily papers and plays himself up as 100 per cent for the people and “in favor of light wines and beers.’” When the votes arc all in and Hon. “Bunk” finds that he has received some votes in most of the counties of Georgia, he reasons that his race has not been without real results. Besides getting himself talked about, he r.r.s saved some other can didate the humiliation of tailing the procession in the race. This time lie saved that humiliation to Hon. Scab Wright, than whom there is no more brilliant and worthy citizen in Georgia. “Bunk” Cooper evidently holds to the theory that it is bet ter to have “wooed and lost than not to have wooed at all.”—Bulloch Times. ' i x ‘ t CONGRESSIONAL INDIFFERENCE TO BOLL WEEVIL SCOURGE MENACES ENTIRE COTTON INDUSTRY. Senator Williams is right. The attempts made to control the boll weevil have up to this time been pathetic. The insect has been a national scourge for more than a generation. It has consumed hun dreds of billions of wealth. It threatens the entire cotton textile industry of the world. It has taken a toll of billions in decreased land values. But con gress has never seriously attacked the problem. The Department of Agriculture has given it little more than routine attention. It even announced a year or two ago that it had solved the trouble and •till half-heartedly takes that view. The present method of control by poisoning, however, is hardly ot more than casual importance. It works some times and sometimes it does not. In some sections it never worked at all. The sea island cotton in dustry has been entirely destroyed. The Government might have offered a prize of a million dollars for a specific for the boll weevil. It might have appropriated five million and have appointed a committee of scientists to make special experiments in the control of the insect. Then we should probably have gotten some results. The answer is not as Senator Smith has proposed, the elimination of cotton production, but the extermi nation of the boll weevil.—Manufacturers Record. || Condensed Statement as of Sept. 25, 1922 ;j —===— jj ;; o ~ RESOURCES: LIABILITIES: !: <> ], Loans and discounts $435,421.69 Capital stork $ 35,000.00 * ‘ ' | Overdrafts 391.03 Surplus fund 22,500.00 « > U.

After a four-months vacation from the exacting toil of newspaper work, during which time he seri ously considered quitting the fourth estate, Editor • H. B. Folsom, of the Monitor, has reconsdiered his original plan and beginning next week will again l>e actively in charge of the Montgomery Monitor, , the Monitor being issued from its own plant in Mt. i Vernon. It has been a pleasure for us to take care ot ■ the Monitor, as best we could, during these four months past. The people of Vidalia have enjoyed reading the news that we have carried about the ’ splendid old county of Montgomery and her excel lent people; and we hope on the other hnad that tl le i people of Montgomery have enjoyed the news ! of Vidalia and her citizens and the record of Toombs county happenings which the columns of the Moni -1 tor have contained during these “partnership” days. Along with other newspaper men in the state, we welcome Bro. Folsom back to the newspaper calling—a calling rich in opportunities of service if not in monetary reward—a calling to which he has already given thirty years of his life, and during which time he has rendered signal and distinguished service to the people of his home county. Ihe newspaper craft is richer by his decision to get hack in harness and the people of Montgomery county are to be congratulated indeed. x AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK. The educators and people of Georgia are asked to observe American Education Week, December 3rd to 9th inclusive, co-operating with the United States Bureau of Education, the American Legion, and the National Educational Association.

The program for the week follows: Sunday, December 3rd, God and Country Day. Monday, Dec. 4th, American Citizenship Day. Tuesday, Dec. sth, Patriot’s Day. Wednesday, Dec. 6th, School and Teacher Day. Thursday, Dec. 7th, Illiteracy Day. Friday, Dec. Bth, Equality of Opportunity and Education for American Boys and Girls Day. Saturday, Dec. 9th, Physical Education Day. ( State Superintendent of Schools M. M. Parks requests the active co-operation of all school offi cials and of all friends of education to make this program a success and to join with the United States Commissioner of Education in making the program the biggest appeal for education that has ever been made to the American people. x A GREAT WORK. The special Tri-State Exposition number of the Savannah Morning News issued October 19th was an interesting review of South Georgia progress, a wonderful epitome of South Georgia possibilities. This special number, broader than the local name given it, is but “carrying on” the great work for South Georgia which the Morning News began years ago. Chronicling from day to day the “infi nite variety” of South Georgia products and annu ally with these special editions reviewing the pro gress of the wide-awake counties in the empire of South Georgia, marshalling the facts of sure and steady development,envisioning the plans and pur poses which will make this section even greater and richer in future years, the Morning News is doing a great work which all South Georgians appreciate and applaud.

(AU Inquiries promptly answered) In our le.ter of October 14th we stated that most of fie rotten crop had been picked' and that something unforeseen would have tr. occur to prevent an advance to higher levels. Since that letter was written the mar ket has advanced apprjxijuately one cent per pound, which is not bad for a period of seven days. The National Ginners’ Association published their estimate of ginnings to October 18th yesterday as 96,900, 000 bales, or one thousand bales more than the estimate contained In our Circular letter of October 19th. The Government’s ginning rlgures will be given out Wednesday, October 25th, and are expected to show a total of about seven million bales. We should like to have the readers of this paper write us where another three million bales will come from in order to reach the Government’s October 3rd esti mate of 10,135,000 bales. We do not believe thef inal total will be much if any, above nine million bales. Exports and American mill takings this month have been on a liberal scalle, the demand is better, offerings arel ighter, cloth markets stronegr and general conditions continue to improve. We see no reason why cot ton should not advance to 25 cents per pound very shortly, and to much high er figures later in the season.

Because of its germ destroying prop erties, this sulphur preparation in stantly brings ease from skin irrita tion, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve tor ment without delay. Sufferers from skin trouble should obtain a small jar of Mentho-Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like cold cream.
