AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION, Foreign Adv. Representative
MAKE TOURISTS WELCOME
The semi-annual migration of people from the North to Florida
seems to have reached its high stage for the Fall this week. Twelve
to fifteen automobiles full of tourists roll through each day. In
this daily surge of travellers Fitzgerald has one of its best national
advertising niediums and for a small cost to the city could use it to
splendid advantage.
Nearly fifty per cent’of the tourists travel with camping outfits,
If the City of Fizgerald would make he Blue and Gray Park more
attractive to campers and announce the fact on one large sign post
on Sultana Drive and one on Roanoke Drive, every one of these
campers would spend the night here going and coming. They would
buy their days supplies here—an immediate benefit—and they would
advertise I'itzgerald to the world as a good place to visit.
Two neat comfort stations, one for men and one for women,
several water faucets scattered over the park, and a little more elec
tric wiring would make the Blue and Gray Park an ideal overnight
camping spot. Police protection could be supplied without addi
tional cost to th ecity. If the fact became generally known to tour
its that litzgerald supplied free lights and water and police protec
tion, to tourists, hundreds of parties who now travel the National
Highway, would use the Dixie Highway from Jacksonville to Atlan
ta. The result would be felt within a period of six months. If the
improvements were made this month, before the last of the S(mth-i
ward bound motorists pass through, the number coming back
through here in the Spring would be much larger and the number
coming through next fall would be doubled. :
The Chamber of Commerce will place the sign boards at the
two entrances of the Dixic Highway into the city. Seccretary Ad
ams has already arranged for that. So far so good. Fitxg(-ruld‘
offers now an advantage over nearby’towns as an overnight camy
ing place. But to take fullest advantage of the opportunity, im
provements should be made. The Chamber of Commerce has not
suffcient funds. The city will benefit by the investment. Why
not make it and make it soon? |
THE RESTLESS SEX : |
They say “it takes all kinds of men to make a world.” R‘}ll].lt"lzl
say: it uas taken all kinds of women to make the world what it is. |
This fact is illustrated in the extraordinary interesting mm'm;'u,i
picture, “The Restless Sex,” producing in pictures the story by R, W .
Chambers now to be seen in Atlanta. L |
In his story Mr. Chambers shows what is seen real life every |
day, in every (';»untry, women restless, seeking, striving, im(-r(-sh:d‘
in what is new, trying everything, to find at last, peace and repose in
the oldest, most important of all occupations, the care of a baby.
When you see the “Restless Sex,” you realize the value of Srest
lessness,” which is another word for “dissatisfaction” and curiosity
One man says, “Women are so restless”, and imagines that wo
men have been satisfactorily and completely condemned. But the
restlessness of women has been a mainspring in the progress of the
world. Restless women have led religious movements “:unl great
migrations, and restless, discontented women, not satisfied to sece
their babies chewing the bones of wild bears or captured human en
emies, tamed the wild buffalo, developed the cow for her milk, :
Dissatisficd women, tired of nomadic life, n~.~tlc\",|.\' rebelling
against cternally dragging children from place to place in ‘.\('ill'('lll‘n!
new pastures, scttled down, planted seeds, raised crops, built houses
instead of tents and established civilization, : ;
Then when civilization got into the rut, as it always does, the
same restlessness of women pulled it out. :
‘ Men without knowing it have been led or driven by women, and
the direction of the driving has always, as (h»ct_h_c says, been u‘.r\\:mlA
Without woman's restlessness based on ambition for her children.
and a desire constantly to improve, the world .\\'uul«l have '."".““f“'(l
stagnant and civilization undeveloped, men quite content to kill and
eat each other and the bears through ages. e .
“Restless Women,” allowing men no rest, driving them to build
palaces instead of huts, r:ulrn:ul.,\‘ instead of oxcarts, have forced civ
ilization ahecad.—Atlanta Georgian.

SURRENDER
She gave herself, herself to me-
Oh, not too freely, willingly !
But at the last
In love’s abandon, secking not
For aught save passion’s kissés hot !
‘ Lomand Held her fdst:
Her spirit melted into mine,
' Heart throbbed with heart, and beat
Of pulse was chord complete,
Rhythm of sentient silence sweet-
Soft glowed the slumbrous fire ‘
In eyes where burned expectant, tense desire.
wo--A hight mysterious, divine!
~ Her soul flowed into mine, and' so, .
Made pure and sacred as infinity above |
My life’s sealed secret—her whole, unreserved love!
THE VICTOR :
Once Fear beset nie—
And Courage fai'ed me—
But love came in and cast out Fear.

A Sermon to Live By
: By Rev: Elam Franklin Dempsey, D. D. -~ =
W AT D oTTT ™ LORD REQUIRE OF THEE?”
Text: Micah 6:8. :
- Could yvou tell at once just what is God’s will in regard to you, my
friend ?
. What will God have me to do next? : ;
/ dany iimes, this becomes a very urgent question in an earnest
life.
This ancient prophet not only raises this very question. e
does more: He answers it.
; And his answer, which is said to be the most spiritual passage
in the Old Testament, is an answer for all time.
More, it is an answer for any soul, for anywhere, as well as for
any when. .
* “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good ; and what doth the
Lord require of thee, but to do jrstly, and to love mercy, and to walk
humbly before God.” ! :
4 Here is a pasage that is saturated with the sense of God, as our
lives must be. \
*_ Justice, mercy, humiliation—these traits embodied in a life filled
- with the sense of Ged, ones that He requires of everyone.
Meet this requirement and all blessedness will ultimately be
_yours; fail to meet it and remediless woe awaits you. ;
- The will of God js the weal of the soul.

churches for aid in relieving suffer

will come as a God-send to ragged,
freezing millions of people. That
section of FEurope has been a blood
soaked battleground for six years.

' MR. BRYAN SPEAKS |
; William Jennings Bryan has said‘
;'that, since President Wilson's :u'o\\'-g
| ed greatest interests for peace and a
' league of nations to maintain peace,
| the president should resign and h'tl
il'rc‘i(]«n—ch-ct Harding have a frvc!
: hand in negotiating pcace and a lcagucl
'of nations. It occurs to ‘us as lugi«'ull
| and full of high principle.
| President Wilson can do nothing to
secure peace and normalcy. His
hands are tied. It will speed things
three months faster toward Dbetter
times if Mr. Bryan's advice is follow
ed. The sacrifice will place Mr., Wil
son and the Democratic party in :I
better light before the people of Amer
ica.
Some of those who hate Mr. Bryan
because of his advocacy of bone-dry
prohibition and ‘others who are just|
too small to appreciate his size are
bitter in denungiation of him and his
idea. True, Mr. Bryan puts his prin
ciples before his party and would de
sert his party before his ideals; but we
can not damn him for that. Rather
thank God we have a few such men.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Realizing that the people need more
justice and protection than they do
legal advice I hereby announce my
self for the office of Justice of the
Peace for the 1537th Militia District.
If elected I promise to fulfili the du
ties of the office to the best of my
ability.
