RANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIFAL CITIES
Now that the races for offices are
cettled and Georgia’s political sca
is calm, let everybodg go to work
and look after the material interests
of the state. Whether we did or
whether we didn’t get our choice for
the different offices, ore is as well off
as another and it’s 1™ time Lo
grouch,
e b
These cool September mornings
remind us of sausage for breakfast,
spare-ribs and back-bone for dinner
and chitterlines for supper,
There’s entirely too much shoot
ing in the swamp for all hands to
be obeying the game Jaws, These
Jaws should. be held as sacred as
any other that are written upon the
statutes and the violators thereof
should be as vigorously prosecuted.
Unless we conserve our game better
it will be but a very few years until
squirrels will be as scarce as deer or
bear, which in the time of our
grand-parents were almost ae pk'nti-‘
ful as squirrels are now.

To our way of thinking president
Harding has done one good thing—
he vetoed the Soldiers’ Bonus
Measure. His reasons for returning
the measure to the House without
his approval were: i
Failure of Congress to provide a
means of financing. j
That inevitably the bonus would
mean inereased taxation. |
That the legislation would \\‘i[)u.‘
out everything thuas far accnmplish-l
ed toreduce Government expendi
{ures wherever possible.
Our idea of the compensation for
the soldiers is to alleviate in full, all
those who were disabled, in any wm’l
during their service, whether in‘
American barracks orin the fighting
line, and to allow the others to RO
to work and make an honest living
thereby helping to lift the country
from its state of unrest and tur
moil. }

THE GOOD LIVES ON FOREVER
The works of man are often lost
into oblivion, as was the cabin
built near Decatur, Tlinois, by
Abraham Lineoln, and which for
years was earvied about the conntry
nd exhibited at such gatherings as
the Centennizl Expositicn in Phila
delphia.
After its exhibit in Philadelphia
it disappeared and a historical
ociely 14 now trying ta loeate it,
though the only clew to it is that it
way bought by an Inglish showman
who started it to Liverpool on =«
deamer which went to the bottein
of the Atlantic,
Such fates are typical of all the
material accomplisliments of man.
The farmer raiges his erop and it
vanishes like frost before a Septem
hor sun. Great cities of the past
had great walls and parapets that
seemed indestiuctible at the time of
building, yet they now lie erumbled
an the soil or buried under the des
ert sands, alor.g with the civilization
that created them.
Bat—
While the, cabin of Lineoln’s
handieraft may l.ie at the bottom of
the sea with the roliing and tossing
wayes murmuring aboveit, Lincoln’s
character and his loyalty t) his
country and his people live on.: No
Jdesert sands can cover them, no
ocean can engulf them or mar their
menory for they are spiritual.
Our material aceomplishments
inevitably end in oblivion and we
can realize this as we look at pic
tures af the erumbling Sphynx or
the Chinese Wall. Yet our spiritual
accomplishments live on. They
were born of Divinity implanted
within our hearts and cannot die.
Only in our spiritual and mental
accomplishments can we build for
Eternity. Time cannot erase a good
deed. It becomes contagious and
growms nightier with the passing of
the years. Remember this and ask
yourself the question, what good
influence am I building for Eterni
ty?
I More than 75% of the people of
Georgia drink water of questionable
lpurity and much of it is not fit for
|l|unmn consumption, Dysentery,
|l]illl'l‘h(‘a and typhoid fever are in
l’mamy cases traceable directly to the
water eupply, Autharities say that
|SO per cent of the human body is
water and the amount must be kept
up to this percentageif an individual
is o l;u\'e good health. The water
that is used for drinkingistherefore
of prime importance in preservinga
lpersons health and in the prevention
of Jisease. Less than 25 percent of
the people of this state drink water
'lhat is tested for impurities and the
other 75 percent are snbjected to
the dangers of polluted drinking!
water. All public water supplses
should be tested at frequent intervals
for pollution and the ecity or the
water company s responsible if pol
lution occurs.

Making 20 Years of Racing

IN the mlg days of automobile
contests, Barney Oldfield—out
to win every race—studied tires.
His coneistent success led other
drivers to ask for tires constructed
to his specifications.
Twenty years of road and track
vlctorloo—w;th a steady and Increas
ing demand for tires as he buflt them
~—tonvinced Bamey Oldfield that
these speed t;uts pointed the way to
a better tire for everyday use.
The enthusiastic recefifion of Old
field Cords by the public proved he
was right. Scores of the most
prominent dealers {n the country—
and many thousands of cat owners,
experienced in the use of tires—bear
witness by their decided preference
that Oldfield is doing a bigger and
better job of tire making.
