Prof. E- M. Goldsmith’s
Simplified Method of Time
and Music
187 East Fair Street
Atlanta, Ga.
Have you read or heard of E. M.
Goldsmith’s wonderful discovery of
counting time. This method is com
piled in book form, and is made so
clear and understandable that a per
son without any musical knowledge
whatever can learn to count time
with this method.
For instance this book starts with
a measure without a note and ex
plains what a measure is, after which
illustrations in the various times are
thoroughly explained, and counted in
the original form of counting. Three
measure illustrations are given
throughout the book. The purpose
of the three measures is to make
sure thepupil understands.
After the original has been ex
plained and counted, sixteen rules
are laid down in simple form to simp
lify the more difficult passages. ll
ustartions have been selected from
classic which if were counted in the
original . would be very . difficult
These illustrations are explained
and counted the simplified way, and
should the performer miss a note
in an effort to get the time and no
tation, he or she would know it by
the sayings in the count.
Good for a beginner, better for
one who has already studied. The
purpose of this method, is to make
sight reading in playing or singing
easier.
This is a simplified method of time,
therefore simple words are used in
the count to convey the idea. One
hundred and thirty different illustrat
ions with three measures to each il
lustration, besides sixteen rules are
given in this book.

It is of vital importance that the quality and quantity of the cotton of our
section should be kept at the highest standard. A county with a reputation
for growing fine cotton always has plenty of buyers—competition brings top
prices. After thoroughly investigating -SALSBURY Cotton and the high
standing of the firm that produces it, we believe its introduction would be a
great benefit to our community and have undertaken its distribution in this
vicinity.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR #
Looking Ahead
LAST Spring a total of 350,000 people were disappointed in
4 n ot being able to obtain deliveries of Ford Cars and Trucks,
as orders were placed faster than cars could be produced.
The demand for Ford Cars and Trucks this Spring will, accord
ing to all indications, be far greater than last Spring.
Winter buying has been increasing at a greater rate than ever
before.
Actual retail deliveries the past 60 days
totaled 308,170 Ford Cars and Trucks, an
increase of 1,961 a day over a year ago.
Over 200,000 people have already ordered Ford products on
our purchase plan, the majority of whom will take delivery in
the Spring.
The above facts are given with the suggestion that you list your
order promptly with a Ford dealer if you contemplate the pur
chase of a Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or Summer and
wish to avoid delay in delivery.

00 PEACE PLAN PRIZE AW
Advocates Entering World Court and Cooperation With League
Without Full Membership at Present—Suggests League Mem
bership Be Opened to All Nations and Provides for
Development of International Law,
The American Peace Award brought forth 22,165 plans
and many thousands of letters. Since many of the plans were
the composite work of organizations, universities, etc., a single
plan often represented the views of hundreds or thousands of
individuals. The content of these plans is therefore an index
of the true feeling and judgment of hundreds of thousands of
American citizens.
These plans come from every group
in American life. Somo are obviously
from lifelong students of history and
international law. Some are from per
sons who have studied little, but who
have themselves seen and felt the
horror of .war —or who are even now
living out its tragedy.
But among them all are these dom
inant currents: that. If war is hon
estly to be prevented, there must be
a face-about on the part of the nations
in their attitude toward it; that by
some progressive agreement the man
ufacture and purchase of the muni
tions of war must be llHited or stop
ped; that while no political mechan
ism alone will insure cooperation
among the nations, there must be
some machinery of cooperation if the
will to cooperate is to be made effec
tive; that mutual counsel among the
nations is the real hope for bringing
about the disavowal of war by the
open avowal of its rest! causes and
open discussion of them; and finally
that there must be some means of
defining, recording, Interpreting and
developing the law of nations.
Statement of Jury of Award
The Jury of Award realizes that
there Is no one approach to world
peace, and that It Is necessary to rec
ognize not merely political but also
psychological and economic factors.
I. ENTER THE PERMANENT COURT
That the United States adhere to the Permanent Court of Interna
tional Justice for the reasons and under the conditions stated by Secre
tary Hughes and President Harding In February, 1923.
11. COOPERATE WITH THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, WITHOUT
FULL MEMBERSHIP AT PRESENT
That without becoming a member of the League of Nations as at
present constituted, the United States Government should extend Its
present cooperation with the League and propose participation In the
work of Its Assembly and Council under the following conditions and
reservations: , . .
Safeguarding of Monroe Doctrine
1. The United States accepts the League of Nations as an Instrument
of mutual counsel, but it will assume no obligation to interfere
with political questions of policy or internal administration of any
foreign state. \
In uniting Its efforts with those of other States for the preser
vation of peace and the promotion of the common welfare, the
TJuited States insists ypon the safeguarding of the Monroe Doc
trine and does not abandon it* traditional attjtude cohcernjM
American independence of the Old World and does not consent to
submit its long established policy concerning questions regarded
by It as purely American to the recommendation or decision of
other Powers. A ,. 1 .r vy
, No Military or Economic Force . «
2. That the only kind of compulsion which nations can freely engage
to apply to each other in the name of Peace Is that which arises
from conference, from moral judgment, from full publicity, and
from the power of public opinion.
The United States would assume no obligations under Article X
in its present form, or under Article XVI in its present form in the
Covenant, or in its amended form as now proposed, unless in any
particular case Congress has authorized such action.
The United States proposes that Articles X and XVI be either
dropped altogether or so amended and changed as to eliminate
any suggestion of a general agreement to use coercion for obtain
ing conformity to the pledges of the'Covenant.
No Obligations Under Versailles Treaty
3. That the United States will accept no responsibilities under tha
Treaty of Versailles unless in any particular case Congress has
authorized such action.
League Open to All Nations
4. The United States Government proposes that Article lof the Cove
nant be oonetrued and applied, or, if necessary, redrafted, so that
admission to the League shall be assured to any self-governing
State that wishes to join and that receives the favorable vote of
two-thlrda of the Assembly.
Development of International Law
6. As a condition of Its participation In the work and counsels of the
League, the United States asks that the Assembly and Connell eon
•eot —or obtain authority—Ho begin collaboration for the revision
and development of International law, employing for this purpose
the aid of a commission of jurists. This Commission would be
directed to formulate anew existing rules of the law of nations, to
reconcile divergent opinions, to consider points hitherto inade
quately provided for but vital to the maintenance of international
justice, and in general to define the social rights .and duties of
States. The recommendations of the Commission would be pre
sented from time to time, in proper form for consideration, to the
Assembly as to a recommending If not a law making body.
Author's Name Not to Be Revealed
Until After Referendum
In order that the vote may be taken
solely upon the merits of the plan,
the Policy Committee, with the ac
quiescence of Mr. Bok, has decided
not to disclose the authorship of the
plan until after the referendum. The
Identity Is unkno'wn to the members
of the Jury of Award and the Policy
Committee, except one delegated
member.

The only possible pathway to inter
national agreement with reference to
these complicated and difficult fac
tors is through mutual counsel and
cooperation which the plan selected
contemplates. It Is therefore the
unanimous opinion of the Jury that
of tho 22,165 plans submitted, Plan
Number 1469 is “the best practicable
plan by which the United States may
co-operate with other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace of the
world.”
It is the unanimous hope of the Jury
that the first fruit of the m.utual coun
sel and cooperation among the nations
which will result from the adoption of
the plan selected will be a general
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of all materials of war.

TWO DEAD AND THREE JAILED
IN FIGHT OVER LIQUOR
Villa Rica, Ga., January 10.—Three
farmers, well known in this section,
are in jail in Carrollton, and two
others, brothers, are dead as the re
sult of a fight six miles north of
here in Paulding county, just after
dark last night. *" A dispute over
stolen whiskey was given as tho
cause of -the tragedy. It was an
nounced that n-T inquest was neces
sary,
John Norton, forty-seven years
old, and hi 3 son, a young man of
twenty-one, together with Clyde
Hancock, were taken to the Carroll
county jail by Sheriff Braswell Boyd.
It is understood that Hancock is held
as a material witness, he having
seen the fight. Homer Brown, twen
ty-two, and his brother, Ernest,
twenty-one, were buried today near
New Georgia church, six miles
of here, rear the Browns’ home.
John Norton already was under
bond on a whisky charge.
WORK AS A REJUVENATOR.
Thomas A. Edison, who will be
seventy-seven years old on the 11th
of next month, was seen the other
day by a reporter, who handed him a
questionnaire containing this query:
“Are you still a two-shift man, work
ing sixteen hours and sleeping about
four when you get a chance?” The
inventor, pictured as "a leonine fig
ure of a man, as virile as an athlete
in his forties,” answered: “I still
work two shifts to prese”ve my
health and entice my subconscious
mind to be interested in this world
with no desire to quit.”
There is a lesson in Edison’s ex
perience and in his manner which, it
would be well for all adults to con
sider. It is work, he indicates, that
keeps him healthful of bod/ and
youthful of spirit. Idleness, it is in
ferred, would in Edison’s opinion
have the contrary effect. That this
is true in many cases can be vouched
for by those who have seen men, on
retii’ing from business, age rapidly,
wither away and die. It was lack of
occupation as much as anything else
that caused their decadence. Life
lost its interest for them when they
gave up their work, and lacking the
will to live, they gave Up the ghost.
The old men who are most youth
ful in their ways are constantly at
work on something—they are inter
ested in a thousand and one things.
Georges Clemenceau who, though six
years older than Edison, is about to
make a trip to Japan, is another dis
tinguished example of the truth of
this.
The influence of one’s mental con
dition on one’s bodily health is not
clearly understood, but there un
doubtedly is some connection be
tween the two. The man who is
cheerful has, other things being
equal, a better chance of attaining a
ripe old age than the discontented
one. And work, if it has to do with
something interesting, is great pro
moter of cheerfulness. If one’s work
is drudgery it is incumbent to find
some other kind. The main point to
be considered is that one should at
all times have an agreeable occupa
tion, so that the mind may have no
leisure to brood over unpleasant
things. It is for this reason that
hobbies are to be recommended.
[ Normal human beings ought to
have no difficulty in finding interest
ing things to keep them busy. Com
pared with what yet remains to be
learned, only the surface of the vast
field of science has been scratched.
Edison knows considerably more
about scientific subjects than most
of us, but finds sixteen hours a day
none too many for the continuance
of his studies and experiments.
It Is not necessary to travel to
see and learn new things. Immanuel
Kant, one of the wisest of men, was
never during his eighty years of life
farther than forty miles from his
birthplace. He craved universal
knowledge and read nearly every
thing he his hands on; and
through intense interest in life and
all of its manifestations he retained
youthfulness of spirit just as Edison
is doing.
A man,of many years whose mind
is occupied with interesting pursuits
is not much concerned over his age
and, after all, as someone has said,
one is no older than one feels.
