Entered-at Cairo, Ga., Postoffice
as Second Class Mail Matter.
Put your ear to the ground
and hear the political rumblings
in Grady county. There’s some
thing doing.
Ambassador Wilson is evident
ly afraid of the Huerta govern
ment. Either that, or there are
“strings tied to him.”
If we are not mistaken in the
temper of the people, there are
quite a number ,of men serving
in the Legislature now who will
never get back on the same job.
Take Care of Your Body or
You Will Lose Your Job.
By HERBERT KAUFMAN
Copy right: Herbert Kaufman: 1913.
According to our way of think
ing, the Administration is tak
ing too much time to pass on that
Mexican situation. The investi
gation should have been made
long ago. It is now time to act,i
Bet you a '‘dope” that Meigs
is sorry she dreamed that new
county dream. Good people, you
are already in the best county in
this state. Taking everything
into consideration, there is r.o
other county in Georgia even in
speaking distance of our dear
old mother, the county of Thom

Grand Jury On The Saloon
This is how a grand jury sit
ting in Minneapolis, Minn., char
acterized the saloon:
“This grand jury is greatly
impressed with the fact that the
saloon remains, as it always has
been, a deadly corrupting influ
ence on pur youth; a mighty hin
drance to happy development of
the industrial classes; a blight on
the prospects of the youth of
the leisures classes; a cen'erof
vice and corrupting influence in
politics; and produces a paralyz
ing effect upon the administra
tion of law.”

Science is nowadays occupying a desk in the office of
trade. One by one the competent plants of America are
being reconstructed by the efficiency expert.
Guesswork, the great "wasting disease of business,”
is gradually disappearing from industial systems. Mar
velous devices, with minds of steel, not only stop leakage,
prevent mistakes and obviate accident, but even insure
the choice of sound and uniform raw materials.
These cog-bragged geniuses are “from Missouri.”
They are confirmed skeptics. They take nothing for
granted. They. prod and pull and bend and twist and
hammer until they establish to infinitesimal fractions the
durability, tensility and breaking point of every sample.
My, how we are loping along. It’s hard to estimate
how many millions of dollars we are saving annually—in
time and merchandise—BUT—the very men who have
found it so expedient to constantly overhaul boiler and en
gine and' pulley and wheel and belt—to give a timely
twist of the screwdriver and a needed turn of the wrench
--haven’t sense enough to apply the same methods to
protect their physicial condition and thereby indefinitely
postpone deterioration of their faculties.
Employers who never purchase equipment until they
have made comparisions of all the different models on the
market, continue to engage men in the same haphazard
way that prevailed in the medieval ages.
Ability and reliability are regarded as the very im
portant essentials in measuring fit,ness. The only refer
ences demanded are those which attest to knowledge and
honesty—stability is seldom thought of—mental and mo
ral flaws are guarded against, but no search is made for
organic warps and fissures and croks and rot-spots.
A hundred years ago merchants did not even oother
with the private habits of their help. The slowly trade
awake to the truth that loose living definitely and direct
ly affected energy and capacity. Drunkeness and vi
ciousness became handicaps. i
But the Twentieth Century calls for still higher ideals
in the measurement of men—ideals more sympathetic
with the pace of progress. The same logic that argues
the shortsightedness of second rate machinery advises
that sturdiness as well as character and deftness be con
stituted a cardinal requirement in the applicant for work.
No man should be given a post of responsibility unless he
is endowed by health as well as reason to lulfill the obli
gation.
A star salesman with bad teeth is likely to pass an
agonizing night and meet an important customer the fol
lowing morning distracted, enervated and unable to con
centrate his attention upon his duties.
A gluttonous factory foreman, addicted to indiges
tion, frequently thinks with his spoilt stomach and in
volves his firm in unnecessary labor disputes.
A dyspeptic attorney, however well grounded in the
law, may be so irratable and nervous that a better poised
but inferior counsel can salivate him before the jury.
Without ready cominand of faculties and control of
vital f crces, success is improbable. W,e prophesy a near
fnture in which a mere record of past performances will
not be a sufficient qualification for promotion.
Before intrusting men with heavier loads we will sub
ject them to series of scientific tests. We will “prod and
pull and bend and twist and hammer” until we establish
the “durability, tensility and, breaking point” of the can
didate. We will look at his teeth, sound his lungs, and
.iiivestigate his blood, his stomach, his liver, his kidneys
and his heart.
Men who won’t keep their bodies in first-class shape
will go to the junk heap.

incorpore sauo—EFFICIENCY IS CONTROLLED BY
HFATH.
