THE SATISFACTION OF SATISFYING.
The Grand Jury assembled at the regular July term of
the Baldwin Superior Court very sensibly took the stand
that the books of the county he audited by an expert au
ditor one time during each year, this body so recommend
ing to the court in their report. The /rank and lile of the,
people are prone to want to know just what disposition is
being made of public funds and how the financial condition
of their government stands.
Whether or not it is neeessaryp to go to an extra ex
pense in letting the people know just where they stand, so
1o speak, perhaps, is a small matter as compared with the
satisfaction cf satisfying (he public, after ali. If one be
comes satisfied after facts and figures are placed on the
table, it's a matter giving an opening to the universe to go
about their business in contentment with a determination
to better their own welfare, which, in the long run, results
in an advantage to everyone concerned in the public’s wel*
fare. The one thing that applies in the case of an indi
vidual very probably touches a great many when we speak
of matters pertaining to the interests of all the people while
while it is necessary to economize in some instances it Is
probably unwise to keep from the public those things of
vital interest, as it Is accepted.
As expressed by the majority of the men making vp the 1
Grand Jury above referred to, the reports cf the various'
committees from that body were merely "perfunctory and!
in many instances meaningless,” due to the lack of time to
properly look into matters with any particular amount oS
pains. This acknowledgement on the part of the Grand
Jury w u!d indicate but little satisfaction in cases where
the masses are concerned and the particular recommenda
tion for an annual audit of the county’s books could not,
therefore, ho accepted as being at ail out of the bounds of
riason, b. t instead a matter altogether worthy cf serious
consideration.
So Ii-.i* r.s The News is concerned, the disposition of the j
THE ADVERTISED TRADEMARK EN
ABLES YOU TO SELECT.
HEN you buy a pair of hosiery, or a cake of soap,
or a pail of lard which you like, you want to be
able to buy another like It.
On the other hand, if you buy an article that proves un
satisfactory, you want to he able to avoid it hereafter.
In short, you as a consumer, demand a, means of identi
fication upon the product you buy so that you may have is,
means of selection and of rejection.
This is the function of the trade-mark or brand name.
It enables you to recognize individuals, to distinguish be
tween friends and enemies.
The advertising of the trade-mark STANDARDIZES the
product. By creating a demand for the product, it m^kea
production possible on a large scale. This means that the
raw materials can be purchased in large quantities and the
preparation of the final product from the raw material can
ne done in a uniform manner.
This insures that goods bearing the same trade-mark or
brand name are of uniform quality. Every can or package
s the same.
But when you buy foed products, for example In the bulk,
you have no ass. ranee of uniformity or quality. One bar
rel or box or can may be exceptionally good while the next
may not be fit for use. You have no means of telling until
you try. Ycu are able to identify a product as standard
only when it is trademarked or branded.
In these days of high cost of living you can’t afford to
ake any chances. Always insist on the STANDARDIZED
BRANDS and he sure of quality and satisfaction. You can
make no mistake in buying standard, branded, advertised
;oods, for when the manufacturer puts the trade mark, thei
nark of identification, up n the package, he hacks the pro-
J.ct with his name and reputation. So you are guaranteed
gainst inferior quality.
GOOD quality and UNIFORMITY of quality are thus the
results of advertising, while the trade-mark on the pack
age enables you to select what you find to he good and tot
reject what has proved unsatisfactory. Your dealer will
tell y u why he, too, prefers STANDARD ADVERTISED
PRODUCTS.

long held that probably the surest
3 for the Southern farmer to increase his
profits is to increase per-acreage yields. There
is no profit—not even a living wage—in doing the sort or
farming that gets only sixteen to eighteen bushels of corn
and oats aud one-third If a bale of cotton per acre. Vet
these are our averages for the entire South.
It is as we' get above these yields, as we emerge from
the great “average” class, that profits begin. Over a period
o.f years, it may be safely assumed that average yields no
more than pay for the cost of production, leaving little or
nothing fc r profit. But on every pound or bushel per acre
over the average, unless costs of production are unduly in-
county's funds is of no particular comern, in view of th* I ceased there Ts usually a profit.

CONGRESSMAN VINSON’S ANNOUNCEMENT.
The News this week carries the formal announcement of
Congressman Carl Vinson as a candidate to succeed him-
seif, which will be read with a great deal of interest by the
people throughout this congrer.si: nal district and more es
pecially by the people of Milledgeville and Baldwin coun
ty, the home of the incumbent.
For instance, land rent, cost of working, cultivating, h e-
ing, e:c„ will not vary greatly, whether the yield he one-
third or two-thirds of a bale of cotton per acre, fifteen or
thirty bushels of corn. In other words, aside from the cost
cf harvesting and the extra plant food required to make the
larger yield's, there is no very great difference in the cost
per acre as between low and high yields.
We believe in every man, by the us of labor-saving ma
chinery and plenty of horse power, working as large an
acreage as possible; but at the same time it is highly im-

It is safe to say the county has never had a man in the
General Assembly who advertised his activities less and

of work he did in this connection, especially in tlie earlier

NATURE WILL PAY.
From the Dawson News.
Mr. Henry Wood, a stuff correspondent writing from
Paris, ays French statesmen and economists predict that
with the close of the war the world will witness one of the
utsst eras ; f colonial development it has ever seen. The
reason is as simple as it is inevitable. It will find all of
the belligerents, regardless of who is the victor, with their
national wealth greatly reduced, with their national re-
so nets practically exhausted, and with debts to pay that
will stagger the most ardent statistician.
Only one means of quick recuperation will he open to
them, and that will be the exploitation to their fullest ex
tent of the undeveloped resources and natural wealth that
still remain more or less intact.
In precisely the same manner In which the colonies of
Fnglond and to more limited extent those of France, have
saved their mother countries in the present military crisis
it is expected that they will again play a life-saving role in
the great economic and industrial struggle that must fol
low the war in the efforts of the various belligerents to
again get back on their feet.
THE COLONEL’S WARNINGS.
C'ol. Roosevelt tells the readers of the Kansas City Star
that the election of Henry Ford to tho Senate would he “a
calamity from the standpoint of far-sighted patriotic Amer
icanism.’’ lie warned the people that President Wilson’s
re-election would he a calamity even worse than that.—i
