the part of the business places here :s
to meet or even beat prices of outside
competitoion whereever possible. And
in most every case the careful buyer
has found that by buying at home, he
is not only getting things for the same
money or less, but is getting the per

ville possesses every requirement to
fill the wants of all the people in this

will merit the careful consideration of
those who live within this trading
radius.

F. W. Holt Jr. The
Buick Dealer in This Vicir.ty
That same law of returns which
ma](es it ultimately cheaper for a
goverment to prov de the most efficient
equipment for it’s soldiers holds true in
the equipment which a citizen may
provide for himself. If such equipment
happens to be a motor car, the pur
pose for which it was chosen may very
well he thwarted by an undue frugal
ity exercised in the purchase.
Many Buick cars, sold In this section
by Mr. F. W Holt. Jr. are going to far
sighted men today who view their in
vestment in the light of it’s possible
returns to them over a long period
They perfer the Buick to a cheaper car
of less merit, simply because they know
that in the final accounting it will
have served them better at a lower cost.
The Buick is a good looking car that
is also internally good In every line
and curve, in all details of upholstery,
finish and equipment the Buick Is ‘‘A
la mode.” Up to the minute in design
while the quality is th e best the world
affords. Buicks are built just as well
as Bu ck experience. Buick engineer
ing actuated by Buick good intent, can
make them. In a word, the Buick you
buy is made just as you would have it
were you to write the specifications
yoiurself test eveby part 1 and then
watch every operation.
Mr. Holt is one of the p'oneer auto
mobile dealers in Bartow county and is
responsible for a big number of good
cars now running in Cartersville. He
gi.ves real service on all the cars he
sells and it is a pleasure to deal with
him. Se ect your next car from Mr.
Holt. You can depend upon his word
and good judgement.

FRATERNAL SPIRIT MANIFESTED
AT CHAMBER COMMERCE DINNER
Interesting Addresses
Delivered by Various
Speakers—Next Meet
ing at Noon Tuesday.
President J. W. Vaughan,
of the Chamber of Commerce
announced Thursday that the
most profitable program for
the good of Bartow county is
being arranged for the meet
ing next Tuesday.
At that time, Mr. Robert
McCormick, one of thq coun
ty’s most progressive and for
ward-looking farmers, will
preside. As is well known,
h e is a “doer” instead of a
“talker,” but realizing the
great possibilities now facing
the people of Bartow county,
especially the farmers, has
consented to take charge of
next Tuesday’s program.
He has secured the co-op
eration of a number of other
good farmers and business
men, all of which assures for
next Tuesday’s program an
event that will be ‘different,”
and really outstanding.
FRATERNAL NIGHT
WAS BIG SUCCESS
The spirit of fraternity was mani
fested in a very happy way at the
Chamber of Commerce dinner, held at
the Park hotel last Tuesday evening,
when Mr. Charles F. Fain presided as
toastmaster.
A large number assembled for the oc
casion, and upon marching into the
dining room were greeted by an or
chestra, playing an engagement at one
of the local theaters. This was a fea

DISABLED BOYS
NOT GETTING ALL
THEY SHOULD
Veterans’ Bureau Works
Behind Lot of Red
Tape Tht’s Hard to
Unravel.
By BELL BAYLESS
Staff Representative
Disabled ex-service men may now
hope for speedy and favorable action
on their applications for hospital treat
ment, vocational training, or compen
sation, because a change has been made
in the head of the Veterans’ Bureau.
The present incumbent has been or
dered to Europe, and one of the men
under considertion to fill the position
was formerly a high officer in the
American Legion. With real soldiers in
charge, instead of swivel-chair warriors
who never got nearer the front than
Washington, nor faced anything more
dangerous than a typewriter, the poor
sick boys may hope for justice.
A general shaking-up all down the
line is promised, with eliminat'on of
'hard-boiled ’ methods, "red tape," and
substitution of disabled veterans for
civilians for all positions In the bureau
This should also mean the hundreds of
"bobbed-headed, painted-faced young
girl stenographers,” to quite a dumber
of the boys, and they are quite right.
This bureau is no place for women, with
crippled sold ers hunting work. One
rehabilitated man in Rome is offering
to work free for a time just to be given
a chance to show what he can do as
bookkeeper.
It is a burning shame, a disgrace, the
way some of our men hive been treat
ed; not by the people, who, through
their representatives in congress, ap
propriated liberally for the relief of the
boys. According to President Harding.
“In the current fiscal year we are
spending $150,000,000 on hospitalization
and care of sick and wounded on com
pensation and vocational training for
the disabled, and for insurance. The
figures do not include the more than
$35,000,000 in process of expenditure on
hospital construction. Th e estimate for
the year to follow are approximotely
$170,000,.00, and to discharge in full our
liability to those who have a right to
the government s care will probably
reach $25,000,000 ”
This money has been spent, no doubt
but too little of it for the actual relief
of the soldiers. Too many extravagant
bills have been O. K. and Suppose an ex

AN EDITORIAL
SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND FOR
FUTURE THOUGHT AND ACTION
City Commissioner W. S. Peebles made an
important announcement at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting Tuesday evening.
He is a man who can always be listed as a
conservative; one who thinks a thing out, gets
all the facts, before he makes a statement.
For that reason, ins utterances about school
conditions, in the City of Cartersville, deserve
more than passing thought'from our citizens.
There are more than thirteen hundred pupils
registered in the Cartersville public schools.
At both the East and West Side buildings the
rooms, many of them, are so crowded with chil
dren that two are being seated in desks made
for one.
In one room, at least, pupils are sitting in
windows, some of the time.
These are FACTS of so great importance that
every citizen, especially parents, should consider
them well, and then let the school board and city
fathers know what you want done about it.
Just remember this, citizens: ..These officials are
your public servants—they are ready and anxious to
do what a majority of citizens want done about the
congested conditions. Let your voice be heard, and
maybe you have the solution for this vexing problem
in some suggestion you might offer!
During the past rainy season, how many
times have you wished for paved side-walks in
Cartersville?
Your answer would be: “Countless.”
Cartersville ought to begin right away some
sort of sidewalk-paving program.
Other towns of far less wealth and resources
than Cartersville possesses, have already laid
down miles and miles of side-walk paving.
Most of this paving has been put down as a
result of the property owners getting together,
and agreeing to bear the nominal cost of the pav
ing, in front of their own homes.
Some side-walk paving has already been
done in Cartersville; ask the property owners
living on these side-walks if they consider money
thus spent, thrown away.
They will tell you: “No,” and many of them
will add, “I would be glad to pay twice as much
as I did, if that were necessary!”
In all seriousness, Citizens of Cartersville:
Let’s start something definite along the line
of side-walk paving; we can sit down and wish
for it a thousand years—if we don’t “up and do
it ourselves,” it will never be done!
What block—what set of citizens living on
that block—will be the first to “Start some
thing”?
A mighty good citizen of the county—a man who .
has the best interest of all at heart—recently asked
the editor of The Tribune-News if it is not possible
seme of our people, town-folk as well as country,
have not an erroneous opinion about road matters.
He then said: “Would it not be be3t for our peo
ple to be a little more patient, give our county com
missioners a little more time to get over our roads,
and urge them to work them a little bit better, than is
possible, if all sections of the county are clamoring
for the road gangs; no one section is able to secure
the proper amount of work necessary to do any last
ing good. Asa result, what is done is little more than
wasted effort.’*
These statements were uttered by one of
the county’s best citizens, and a man whose
every heart-beat is for Bartow county’s good.
The County Commissioners have very lim
ited funds, when the county’s road mileage is
taken into consideration. They want to serve
the whole county; make every dollar go just as
far as possible, and make its effect be felt just as
long. We believe if citizens generally would be
a little more patient; and let our officials know
they wanted quality first, rather than quantity
that would not stand the test of the long rainy
spells, it would mean so much for the county,and
in the end, our people would get more for their
money, even though it might be longer getting
around.
Think about these things, citizens; if you
agree with us, all well and good; if you do not,
suppose you offer some suggestions; they will be
published in The Tribune-New right cheerfully.
