Paris gowns are said to be more

If the seed of discontent sown in the
labor unions of this country was Ger
man made and planted, Germany could
find no more delight in its fruits,
when workers here demand a six hour
dpy, while German workers are put
ting in a full twelve and rejoicing at
the. opportunity to do bo.—Marietta
Journal.
If everybody would quit using sugar for about 30 days there
would be plenty of it and at right prices. Then some other food
problem can be disposed of the same way.
Was the election wet or dry in Ohio? It seems to be a mooted
question and the records of more votes in some precincts for ratifi

' About the middle of December we will issue a splendid Christ
mas edition of the Scnlined, with an attractive cover, and suggest
that our advertisers begin to think now so they can have copy ready.
Next week we will carry a two-pAge advertisement for an out-
of-town merchant. This should be food for thought for local busi
ness men. If it is profitable for a merchant from another town to
advertise extensively in the Sentinel, how much more so would it be
for a home merchant? *
Work on the Bankhead Highway is progressing nicely with
two. crews now on the job. The niw one is working between here
and Lithia Springs.
A six hour day is a fine .thing, but
only if one can afford it. It’s a cer
tainty that this or any other nation
is not going to produce enough to
keep things running on a day Of that
length. Neither is an individual go
ing to make a success by loafing
three times as much as he works.—
Dawson News.
The merchant who adventises reg
ularly and persistently and uses judg
ment in the preparation of his print
ed message has little to fear from
the mail order houses. It is the non-
advertiser who usually raises the
loudest howl about th inroads of the
mail order houses.—Jackson Prog-
ress-Argus.
In large cities scrub women are re
reiving $-‘l and $1 a day. Ministers
and college professors receive nearly
as much.—Carroll Free Press.
Would \% not be a serious thing if
all farmers should "strike” in 1020?
—Madison Madisonian.
Some efforts are being made by the city fathers to determine
the cost of water power for the light plant. It is only a matter of
time till something must be done and we will believe the sooner the
better. ‘ '
It is generally conceded that last Saturday was the biggest day

If the wage increase continues,
business will soon be throwing up' the
