Douglasville and Austell are the
.only two towns we know of in Geor
gia that allow cars to park on the
business side of the street. Let’s try
parking on the other side and see how
much better it is.

Business was never better in Doug-
lasville than now. There is a good
market for produce and the best town
in which to buy goods. It is true
there are some merchants in town
that don’t inform the public of what
they have to sell, but if you will con
sult the advertising columns of the
Sentinel you’ll find there are several
live ones here, and it will always pay
you to deal with a live one.

Every town needs an authorized
fool killer and he could put in all his
time with that dangerous fool who
thinks it smart to drive an automobile
recklessly. He is a menace that
should be obolished.

DeKalb county voted overwhelming

and Haralson defeated it for the sec

* Have you ever noticed that the
merchant who advertises Tegularly
and persistantly is the one that’s al
ways busy, and also that the one who
ftuie pr “(Jries up” is the one who
never advertises. ’ •

it is an infalable rule that you can
judge a town's business prestige by the
advertisements of its business men in
the local paper. Judging from this
rule most Georgia towns are prosper
ing this year, for the weekly papers
are crowded to the guard with adver
tising.

AFTER HI8 GOAT.
Business was always suspended
promptly at one o’clock on Saturdays
In the law offices of Spencer and Boyd,
Notebooks were tucked away, and type
writer desks were hastily closed. Even
Mr. Spencer, the senior partner, usual
ly hurried away to the country club for
lunch nnd an afternoon of golf.
But today he lingered at his desk, al
though Miss Carroll, his secretary, was
preparing to leave. Jimmie, the office
hoy. was bustling about, attending to
the closing of the office with his cus
tomary Saturday alacrity. For Satur
day was the day when Jimmie and his
best girl, as he called Helen Carroll,
had their weekly party—the lady finan
cing the affair, for Jimmie’s present
remuneration did not permit of such
lavish expenditures for luxuries. Hel
en CarroIJ’s kindness was one of the
pleasant topics of conversation In the
office.
“Where Is It today, Jimmie?’’ asked
Mr. Spencer, with «n Indulgent smile,
ns the boy stood In the doorway wait
ing impatiently for Helen.
Jimmie grinned and answered with
his after-buslness-hours familiarity.
“Oh. our car Is waiting to take us to
the hotel for a little five-course lunch,
and then to the matinee."
“Which means," Helen Interposed,
with n pretty blush, “a lunch-counter
nnd the movies. I’m all ready, Jimmie.
Come along. Good afternoon, Mr.
Spencer."
The senior partner sat. in thoughtful
silence after their departure. If only
his son had fallen In love with a girl
like Miss Carroll, Instead of with Ju
dith Spalding!
Meanwhile, Helen and Jimmie were
hurrying up the street merrily dis
cussing what they would have for
lunch.
A passing soldier diverted Helen’s at
tention. She stopped abruptly to gaze
after him.
“Doesn’t he look lonely, Jimmie?’’
she said, with pity In her voice and
eyes. “And hungry, too. Perhaps he
hasn’t any money for his lunch. Oh.
•Jirrtmie, do you suppose we ought to in
vite him to go with ns? I’ve just got
paid and I have plenty of money with
me.”
Jimmie was all enthusiasm at the
Idea. Without waiting for another
word from Helen, he ran after the sol
dier and tapped his arm.
"Me and my lady friend want to
know If you’ll eat with us. She says
you look hungry,” he spluttered excit
edly. “And maybe she’ll take you to
the movies, too.”
Jimmie introduced his new friend
without much ceremony.
mH tfiUtte’s Jimmie, too. and he’*
got three service stripes, nnd he says
he's hungry, and he’d love to go to the
movies.”
Tlmt was the beginning of a most
wonderful afternoon for Sergeant Jim.
As charming a girl as he had met In his
travels, with golden hair and laughing
gray eyes and a complexion like apple
blossoms—and an irrepressible young
ster—helped him to a precarious perch
on a stool at a lunch-counter. The
young lady, with tender solicitude. In
sisted that he have something substan
tial to eat. but he explained that he
wasn’t really starving. So lie shared
their regular Saturday luncheon and
enjoyed the apple pie and Ice cream
fully ns much as Jimmie. Afterwards
they had gayly purchased a box of
caramels. Then they had hurried to
the movies. There, while Jimmie gave
all his attention to the candy and the
screen, Helen and Sergeant Jim con
versed In low tones, for the most part
oblivions of the silent drama being
enacted before tlielr eyea. He told her
something of his experiences abroad,
and of the battle In which he had re
ceived hla wounds, from which he was
almost recovered. And Helen told him
softly of Jimmie, the oldest of four
children, and how the lad manfully
trudged to and from werk every day
to save carfare, and carried unappetiz
ing and meager lunches in order to
turn over hla pay untouched te his
mother.
At five o’clock they said a regretful
"good-by” In front of the theater, but
until after Sergeant Jim had man
aged te draw Jimmie aside for a mo
ment and persuaded him te reveal the
young lady’s name.
, The next Monday morning there was
an air of subdued excitement in the
office. Mr. Spencer’s son, recently
home from overseas, was starting fn
his career as Junior partner In the firm.
‘When the young man In uniform, walk
ing with crutches, was Introduced to
his father’s secretary, she was so* ob
viously startled that explanations were
In order.
Jimmie was too excited by the tnrn
o? events to do much work that day
and It Is doubtful if Helen or the new
Junior partner accomplished their
share. Shortly before five that after
noon, after announcing to Helen his In
tention of taking her and Jimmie home
in his anto, Sergeant Jim told his fath
er what he was doing.
At first Mr. Spencer was indignant.
"I’ll have none of that, Jim,” he said
sternly. “Miss Carroll is too fine a
girl to he trifled with. And what would
your friend Judith say? Aren’t you
practically engaged to her?’
“When a nirl tells you to go away
because you can’t take her to a dance
your liking for her ends then and there,
dad,” young Spencer explained. "And,
.dad” (his eyes met his father’s hon
estly), ‘‘I think Miss Carroll is the nic
est girl I ever met.”

As far back as the first winter of
the war, the Red Cross sent to Serbia
g sanitary commission that effective
ly checked the scourge of typhus, but
after the United States entered the
conflict, the Red Cross was able, In
August, 1817, to send a full commis
sion that carried on extensive relief
operations among the suffering ref
ugees of the tortured nation. Hospi
tals were established, the refugees fed,
clothed and given medical attention,
the army supplied with much needed
dental treatment, farm machinery, and
seeds provided to help the Serbs re
deem their land to productivity, and,
not least, measures undertaken for the
succor of the children. The terrible
condition into which these helpless vic
tims of the war bad fallen ta well
pertrayed by this photograph ef a
little Serbian girl wearing the rags
and expression of hopeless dismay
that were all she possessed when the
Red Cross came.

Saving men not only have capital for their efforts.
In saving, they establish a reputation which will make
it easy to secure additional capital when necessary.
A farmer has frequent need for capital if he is
striving continually to improve his property. How
