Governor Cox s Great Speech IN Governor Cox’s speech accepting the Democratic nomination sturdy common sense and statesmanly ideals march side by side. It is the utterance of a man at once high-visioned and keenly practical. Can ny with insight into problems of business and politics, it is also warm with human sympa thy. A plain speech, a frank speech, and elo quent with heart notes, it oompasses the questions of the day as only a true Liberal could and reveals a personality that will take stronger and stronger hold on the country’s interest and affection. “We are in a time,” the Governor says, “which calls for straight thinking, straight talking and straight acting.” Such is the character of his address. His mind moves directly and voices itself in terms unequivo cal. Unlike his opponent, who talks with the confusion and skittishness inevitable in the Republican position, he drives right to the heart of issues. It is curiously signifi cant that Senator Harding’s discussion of the League of Nations pleased so bitter an enemy of the covenant as Hiram Johnson and so avowed a friend of it as William Howard Taft. The Senator, it would seem, is rarely gifted in the art of concealing his ideas. That, however, is not the kind of talent America needs or wishes. The issues of this time are not to be evaded, nor its responsi bilities shunned. “Straight thinking, straight talking, straight acting,”—these only will do; and it is these that Governor Cox brings to bear. Touching the uppermost question of our foreign policy,, he declares emphatically against a separate peace with Germany, in volving as that would a desertion of our soundest interests as well as our broadest obligations. “It would be,” he says, “the most disheartening event in civilization since the Russians made their separate peace with Ger many, and infinitely more unworthy on our part.” The Republican proposal, boiled to its essence, is that we should stay out of the great league of peace, along with Russia, Ger many, Mexico and Turkey. What says Gov srnor Cox? “As the Democratic candidate, I favor going in.” This, of course, is but a restatement of his party’s platform, which declares: “We advocate immediate ratifica tion of the treaty without reservations which would impair its essential integrity, but do not oppose the acceptance of any reservation making clearer or more specific the obliga tions of the United States to the League as sociates.” No one professing allegiance to the declared principles of the Democratic party and its Presidential nominee can consistently hold any other view. The Governor does not rest, however, with simply stating that he is for League mem bership with safeguarding reservations. He gives a clear concept of what he means by “safeguarding;” and in this connection he shows thorough and sympathetic understand ing of the idea of the Democratic Senators who stood for clarifying provisions. “First,” he points out, “they wanted to make sure hat its basic purpose was peace and not con troversy; second, they wanted the other Powers signing the instrument to understand our constitutional limitations beyond which the treaty-making power cannot go.” Fur ther; “We hear it said that interpretations are unnecessary. That may be true, but they will at least be reassuring to many of our citizens, who feel that in signing the' treaty there should be no mental reservations that are not expressed in plain words, as a matter of good faith to our associates. Such interpretations pos sess the further virtue of supplying a base upon which agreement can be reached, and agreement, without injury to the covenant, is now of pressing im portance.” Equally straightforward and constructive are Governor Cox’s pronouncements on mat ters of domestic moment, such as the repeal of war taxes, the cutting away of conditions that make for profiteering, the utmost pro tection of the rights of free speech and free issembly, the introduction of a budget sys :em into Federal finance with a view to elim nating every dollar of needless expense, the working out of equitable and friendly re ations between employers and employees in .he great fields of labor and capital, the mcouragement of all legitimate business in toth internal and foreign trade, the discour igement of crooked or oppressive dealing vherever found, the upbuilding of the coun ry’s educational system, the development of igricultural interests and the enrichment of ’ural life, the making of a prosperous, free, ligh-minded nation. On these and related mbjects the Governor speaks with the defi liteness of long executive experience as well is with the earnestness of one whose heart s with America’s rank and file. He pleads 'or “a change from the old world of yester iay where international intrigue made the people mere pawns on the chessboard of war,” and for “a change from the old indus trial world where the man who toiled was assured of a ‘full dinner pail’ as his only lot and portion.” A true Democrat, a true American, has spoken in this acceptance speech, in words that cannot fail to quicken the nation’s thought and stir its heart. Mrs. Catt probably regrets that she has only nine lives to give for the suffrage cause. —Nashville Banner. “We must not abridge the freedom of speech,” said Mr. Harding.

THE Senatorial race in Georgia presents the voter a choice between fruitful statesmanship and barren agitation, be tween forces that construct for the common good and those that recklessly tear down for selfish ambition. On the one side is a pub lic servant of proved efficiency, a builder by nature and by training, a man who has made every interest of the Commonwealth the richer for his work at Washington. On the other, is a political adventurer —brilliant, cunning, erratic, destructive. Between these two lies the contest; between them the peo ple must choose. It will be Senator Hoke Smith, or it will be Thomas E. Watson. Which of these do the State’s welfare and honor require? That is the question. There are efforts, we know, to inject ex traneous matters and becloud the situation with factional feuds; efforts to divide the thoughtful, loyal Democracy, whose support trends naturally to Senator Smith, and to divert a section of it to a third candidate, mistakenly put forward against the interests of party concord and public welfare. This, however, is merely incidental to the main i ßaue — a flank movement which, if persisted in, will draw away certain elements that otherwise would stand united, and to that extent will aid the cause of one conceded to be the party’s foe. But the frontal contest, the decisive battle remains between that rec ognized foe of Democracy, that always de structive figure, and the Senator who stands for re-election on a record of incomparable service and capacity for continued useful ness to the State. Which of these shall it be —the builder or the destroyer, the statesman or the agi tator? Senator Smith has been an unswerv ing Democrat from the grim days of Recon struction, w-hen he asserted the party’s faith and the integrity of the ballot, even in the teeth of Federal bayonets. Mr. Watson has professed to be a Democrat when caprice or ambition so disposed him, but for the most part he has been by his own acknowledge ment the party’s enemy. Senator fimith is the author of legislation from which every farmer, every business man, every laboring man, every child and every household in Georgia is prospering—constructive legisla tion written large and luminous in the na tion’s history. What single service of this nature has Mr. Watson rendered? Senator Smith supported every war measure, placing his utmost influence and loyalty behind our soldiers at the front. Mr. Watson opposed them with all the bitterness he could muster, urging a course which, had it been followed, would have lost the war to Prussianism and have stained our flag with everlasting dis • honor. It is between these two that Georgians are called upon to choose. Who that knows the traditions and character of this Com monwealth can doubt what the answer will be? A City Man Bows to the Farmer The dominant place in American life oc cupied by the American farmer is tellingly designated in an address delivered recently before the Commercial Club of Chicago. At this meeting of business men, the speaker was discussing "The Essentials of Commu nity Building.” He summed up the question in this fashion: “The good community today has good schools, because the people must be intelli gent before they can be good citizens. It has good churches, because the community must have good morals, or it will never progress. “It has good merchants and good lawyers, who will treat their customers intelligently, and who will keep their clients out of trou blq. That it must have good shipping facili ties goes without saying. “And it must have good farmers. “The farmers are the bulwark upon which all industry must rest. “We city folks must realize that the farm er looms up as among the biggest and best customer today. With the advent of the mo tor car, every day is market day for the farm er. And he is no longer satisfied with what is cheap and shoddy. The farmer today wants and demands the best. The buying power of the average farmer has irfcreased from $1,600 to $3,400 a year in the last four years. The average buying power of the city man is S9OO a year. Fifty two per cent of the population of the coun try is engaged in farming. “Nearly seventy billion dollars are invested m agriculture. That is more than any three other industries. And, yet we sometimes ig nore the farmer. “Some people today accuse the farmer of being a profiteer. Yet the farmer gets only what he can for his merchandise; and sells it for less than one-half of what it appears on the general market for. It is he who should ask, who is the profiteer. ‘‘The good community today is the one that recognizes these facts, and makes it pos sible for the farmers to trade there. It has good roads so that farmers can easily get , ha ® good merc hants who are offer ?. g the farme . rs their best in both merchan dise and service.” U. S. Pofiulat ion Now 105 Millions. Who is Mr. J. A. Hill? Why, he’s the chief statistician of the cen sus bureau. And what has he done now? ybu ask. He’s the fellow who put the fig in figures —and to prove it he tells us that there are 105,000,000 persons in continental United States. He bases his calculations on the com bined population of 1,406 cities and towns. The increase since 1900 is placed at about 13,000,000, showing the growth of the coun try has not kept pace with the previous dec ade. Almost complete cessation of immigra tion during the war, the influenza epidemics, the return of aliens to their native lands and deaths of soldiers abroad are reasons for the .low growth.

She faces the world fearlessly, looks it squarely in the eye, and if it doesn’t behave exactly to suit her she tells it things. Her mamma had gone away the other day and left Gertrude in the care of her grandma, and, after a clash of wills, Gertrude had been put into a room to remain for a specified length of time. “If you stir out of that room before I tell you you may,” cautioned her grandma severely, “I am going to spank you.” Ger trude stood with arms akimbo for a moment, and then retorted in a tone of finality: “Well! When you spank me you will find that business is certainly beginning to pick up in this neighborhood.” LAZINESS AS A HABIT, By H. Addington Bruce HERE are two brothers. Both go to bed about 11 o’clock at night. Both are in good health. The workaday activities of both are closely similar. But one brother rises at the stroke of six every morning. He shaves and dresses briskly. He takes a short walk outdoor. And he has ample time to look through the morning paper before breakfast at 7:30. The other brother, likewise waking at six, turns over in bed, and falls asleep again. It is after seven before he crawls grumblingly out of bed, and usually it is nearly eight when he puts in his appearance at the break fast table. A doting mother excuses him on the ground that “James really needs more sleep than John does.” Perhaps she is right. But the likelihood is that the difference between the energy of John and the laziness of James is chiefly a matter of habit. John rises at six, not so much because his constitution impels him to do so, as be cause he has consciously or unconsciously trained himself to get out of bed as soon as he wakes. , Habit determines likewise the briskness with which he shaves and dresses. Habit sends him outdoors to benefit from the fresh morning air. If James could only be persuaded to fol low his example for a while, if every morning he would force himself to arise at six and adopt John’s before-breakfast routine, it is safe to predict that soon he would not have to force himself to do so. Whereas, on the opposite, if John were to resolve to stay abed until seven for a few mornings, he would presently find himself developing a habit of late rising singularly akin to that now so deplorably evident in James. So with energy and laziness in other hu man activities. Again and again habit is the determining factor. Men may work eight, ten or twelve hours a, day because they are so interested in their Work that they want to work eight, ten or twelve hours. But often it is habit rather than desire that keeps them hard at work. And, even if desire to work be present as a result of intense interest in the work, it is entirely possible to undermine this by establishing a habit of stopping work early. It needs only a few days or shorter work ing activity to make it more “natural” to stop work at three or four than to continue working until five or six as formerly. Whereas, on the contrary, the man accus tomed to stop work at three or four, may find it just as “natural” to work longer, if for a period he force himself to work longer. ■Little by little his voluntary increased devotion to work will, through habit, become involuntary. Then he will automatically persist in the longer working day, without effort, without giving the matter a second thought. Just as the energetic John rises at six be cause it is his habit to rise at six, so will the whilom work-dodger acquire a work habit that makes continuance at work easy for him. I commend these facts to the considera tion of all who have to confesss themselves lazy. They can unfailingly cure their lazi ness—unless, perchance, it is rooted in ill health—if only they will for a time force themselves to the effort necessary to estab lish the salutary habit of greater activity.

NATURE AND TIME, THE HEALERS By Dr. Frank Crane In a play advertised the other day ap peared a line by the author, who thought he had said something clever, but really had said something shallow, “Why didn’t God make health catching instead of yellow fever?” The only answer to which is: He did. All diseases by and by run out, else the race would long ago have been exterminated. Even under the worst conditions cholera, typhoid and the hookworm cease. Health never ceases. Babies are born just as bouncing and lusty today as in Noah’s time. Give the old earth time enough and she will spin a web of ivy over every ruined wall, heal all scars, and knit and spin and smooth away until the last wound is healed, the last repulsive object is made beautiful. Nature runs the original Beauty Parlor. These reflections are caused by reading the report brought back from France by Hugh Fullerton, of the Long Island Agricul tural Experiment Station, on behalf of the American Committee for Devastated France, of which Miss Anne Morgan is the head. “The French agriculturists believed that the devastated areas would never again be productive,” he said. “I went over two months ago convinced that this was not true, because I had had experience in tearing up Long Island soil with dynamite ind had found the subsoil fertile. It is an old axiom of agriculture that the subsoil cannot be productive, and the French gov ernment, acting on this premise, had con demned large portions of what used to be the most productive areas of France. “In company with Miss Morgan and repre sentatives of the French government I visited one of the worst bits of the Aisne war zone. It was ‘Red Monkey Plateau,’ which was taken and retaken eighteen times. Not a trace of cellar wall remains to tell of its vil lages, and the soil was overturned to the depth of two to five feet. At the foot of the hill the French ex perts were still maintaining that nothing could grow there. When we reached the top we found ourselves wading knee deep through the richest red clover I have ever seen. The leaves were as big as silver dol lars. Alfalfa covered the deepest holes. “I will say this for the French- They were prompt to admit their error. Within two days the order condemning this territory was revoked. Four thousand people re turned to their old homes in one day. . J? appears that the Plowing done by the 3hel 13 brought to the surface the deep soil which contains valuable materials of which the top soil, used for generations, had been depleted. Riding through France, one can trace the lines of the trenches, now filled in and planted, by the richer, darker green of the wheat growing in the deep-plowed soil.” (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.)

HASKIN CHICAGO, 111., Aug. 4.—The ex tension department of the Chicago Art Institute is about to give the Back to the Farm Movement more substantial support than all the famine alarm ists put together. And how? Simply by making the farmers’ daughters so chic that the hired man will never yearn for Broadway. Mr. Ross Crane, head of the ex tension department of the institute, is about to start upon his yearly pil grimage of spreading art and cul ture in the rural districts, and this time, in addition to his demonstra tions of the home beautiful, he will give the rural ladies a few pointers on woman beautiful. That is, he and Miss Evelyn Hansen, dress demon strator at the Wisconsin State Nor mal School, will give a series of talks illustrated by dress exhibitions on living models, in which they will endeavor to teach their fair au diences how to bring out their often only too latent charms. The extension department of the art Institute is really a very serious ahd most praiseworthy organization. Three years ago Mr. Crane evolved an idea which was so big and so obvious that one wonders why no one ever thought of it before. It was simply that since a great part of the population of the country was unable to visit the few big art mu seums in the cities, art should be taken to the people. The result of this happy thought was the exten sion department of the institute, the only thing of its kind in the country. TAKES ART ON THE ROAD Every year Mr. Crane with three or four assistants and about a ton of material, sallies forth to the hin terlands of culture and there pro ceeds to make life more beautiful for the natives. It is a fact worthy of note that these people who have been geographically deprived of beauty are more appreciative of good art when it is brought to them than is many a superior-feeling metropol itan. They are so enthusiastic about Mr. Crane that many towns have sent for him two or three times. He has lectured all the way from Texas. to Winnipeg, leaving a trail of beauty in his wake. Little Rock, Ark., and Fort Wayne, Tex., Indiana, have alike been brightened by his presence. His work has become so popular that he has had to send out a second group of evangelists with. Hunt Cook as the leader and a duplicate ton of material. This ton of material is probably the reason for Mr. Crane’s great suc cess. With it he dramatizes his talks on be utlfying the home, and thus makes a much greater impres sion upon his audience than if he merely lectured. His equipment con sists .of about twenty good modern paintings, the three walls, flreplace, doors and windows of a model room. He puts this room up on the plat form of the auditorium where he is lecturing, and proceeds to show the expectant townsfolk and neighboring farmers how to furnish it pleasingly and inexpensively. When the curtaoin goes up the room has nothing in it but a fireplace and one picture. Using the picture as a keynote for his color scheme and the fireplace as his center of in terest, Mr. Crane creates an artis tic and homelike room with ma terials and furniture borrowed from the town’s merchants. Needless to say the merchants are glad to lend. A BOOM FOR LOCAL TRADE Man-- an eager home-maker rushes to their shops the next day to buy rugs of a less flamboyant' design, hangings that have some remote re lation to the color of the walls, and chairs that seem to have been made to sit upon rather than to torture the eye. Thus we see how beauty and commerce can be made to go hand in hand, certain lofty souls to the contrary. In fact it is one or Mr. Crane’s objects to bring trade and beauty into harmony. He wants to influ ence manufacturers and merchants to make and sell beautiful things no less than he wants people to choose beautiful things for their homes. Ac cording to Mr. Crane art isn’t some thing that you hang up on the wall in a frame, or seek out in a museum with the aid of a guide book. “Art is not an abstraction," says Mr. Crane. “Unless you show peo ple how art makes itself useful in their lives they are not going to ac cept it as anything more than a luxury. Art is really a necessity, you know, and the surest way to make the world realize it is to show people how their homes are more comfortable when they are beautiful, and how their businesses are more profitable when they make useful, beautiful things.” America is just beginning to real ize the value of beauty as a vital part of life. The first years of our life as a nation w’ere too much oc cupied with the building up of our country, the mere cultivating of the •wilderness, to give us much time to concentrate upon the finder but none the less necessary side of living. As a result, our sense of beauty seems to have suffered. The weird Italian villas, the frenzied scroll work on our furniture, the gilded pine cones and hand-painted roll ing pins in the whatnot, all testify to the vague yearning for beauty which the last generation felt and was sc helpless to express. And some of us are just as helpless, if not so unrestrained. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR GIRL BY HELEN ROWLAND (Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) CALL no man wise until he has made a fool of himself over at least one woman—nor hope essly foolish until he has made a fool of himself over two women. Os course, a bachelor- apartment lacks all those little home comforts of which a man dreams —but then, again, it lacks so many of those lit tle Discomforts, of which he never dreamed I A man begs a woman for “the plain, unvarnished truth;” when in reality he wants it sugar-coated, scented, and spiced to suit his van ity—and even then he can only swal low half of it at a time without chok ing. In the social swim there is many a fish who started out in life as a porgie, and is breaking its heart in the effort to finish as “filet-of-sole.” To a woman who is watching her first baseball game it looks, some how, as though both sides were playing against the umpire. Woman may be free, but we are not yet equal. A girl may have al most as many pockets as a man, nowadays, but she hasn’t half the vocabulary with which to express herself, when she has to go through every blessed one of them in order to find something. Men have been classified as “what women marry.” They have two feet, two hands, and sometimes two wives ■—but never more than one collar but ton or one idea at a time. Men will be boys! And the man who marries nowadays is looking, not for a soul-mate but for a play mate, not for a guide to heaven, but for a guide to amusement.

CURRENT EVENTS BERLlN.—Greater Berlin, with its latest additions, claims to be the largest metropolis on earth. Its area is officialy given as 877.66 square kilometers (337.77 square miles), compared with greater New York, 840 square kilometers (307.8 square miles), Paris’ 480, London’s 303 and Vienna’s 275 square kilo meters. Greater Berlin now em braces eight townships, fifty-nine villages and twenty-seven rural es tates. According to figures made public by the department of statistics, 1.- 015,883 immigrants entered Brazil during the twelve years ending De cember 31, 1919. Os this number only 2,062 were North Americans, while there were 34,246 Germans and 28,293 Japanese. Portuguese led with 386,686; Spanish second. 212,- 7323; Italians third. 65,709 and Rus sions fourth with 50,632. Babe Ruth, the mighty slugger of the New York American league base ball club, pounded out his fortieth and forty-first home-runs last week in a game with Detroit. The “Bambino" hag set his heart on clouting fifty circuit smashes this season and if he does it, which seems likely now, he will set up a record probably destined to stand forever, unless he breaks it him self. Ruth hit twenty-nine home runs last year. Public interest in his sensational work rivals that of the presidential campaign and Geor gia’s own baseball marvel, Ty Cobb, is practically in total eclipse. Packing unruly prisoners in ice so as to cool their refractory spirits was a practice in vogue at the state reformatory for women, Bedford, N. Y., according to disclosures brought out at the recent investigation held in New York in connection with prolonged riots at the institution. The first Spanish warship to visit i Cuba since the war of the ’nineties was given a cordial welcome in Ha vana recently. The vessel was the Alphonso XIII and it steamed into the harbor almost twenty-two years to a day after American "Jackies” blew Cevera’s fleet out of the wa ier. Official statistics just issued show that 1,362872 men of France gave their lives to halt the Hun. If these fallen fighters were to form in single file with less than a stride separating each, a ghostly column more than 800 miles long, stretch ing further than from Atlanta to New York, would pas s in review. If they were to encarrfp, twenty-seven bivouacs of the dead” as big as Camp Gord would be needed. To match this roll of death America would have to lose 400 regiments at full war strength. Cubans of all ages and classes of life have contributed SIOO,OOO to the Roosevelt Memorial fund and a check for that amount was turned over to the sponsors recently. Four specific laws have been passed by the Cuban government in honor of America’s former president. A petrified fish, about fifty feet long, has been discovered incased in the rocks in Garfield county, Utah, ' ab ° u t seventy miles east of Pan guitch, by Sheriff James Goulding, of Garfield county, and T. W. Smith, of Salt Lake, who have been prospect ing in that section. Four years ago near the same spot the fossil remains of a giant lizard were found. Gbuld ing and Smith have offered their find to the University of Utah. Mme. Bella Hartmann, young wid ow of an Austrian officer, has been sentenced at Lindau to pay a fine of 50,000 marks and serve one month in jail, for smuggling. It is said she defrauded the Berlin and Vienna au thorities out of more than $3,000,000 by means of a small army of em ployes at Lake Constance who used six automobiles, three motor boats and other paraphernalia in their illicit business. High cost of living has never hit Madagascar, Kendall K. Kay, former California newspaper man, reports. Best prime beef sells for 3 1-2 cents and rice for 1 1-2 cents, he said. Pineapples can be had for 1-2 cent each and big lobsters for 2 cents. Like his cousin of opposite politi cal faith who preceded him as as sistant secretary of the navy and as candidate for vice president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, running mate with Jimmy Cox on the Democratic national ticket, is not a believer in race suicide. T. R. was the father of five chil dren—one girl and four boys—and strenuously advojy.ted idrge fami lies for others. Franklin D. is likewise the father of five—also one girl and four boys. Whether the parallel in political preferment is to continue, remains with the voters in November to de cide. But on the standards of good citizenship and patriotism laid down by Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt meets the ffiSjor specifi cations of his distinguished relative, the late president. Paris has 40,000 sabres for sale. The clanking swords that the city’s jaunty policemen have worn for cenraries have been banned by government decree. In their stead, American magazine pistols, or “au tomatics,” will now be the style. The Parisian constabulary are loath to sheathe their trusty blades, re port has it, and are surrendering thei rside arms reluctantly, even though it is admitted that the sub stitute weapon gives the gendarmes a better chance in the event of a tussle with their ancient enemies, th® Apaches. A monument to Magellan, the ex plorer who discovered the straits that now bear his name, will be un veiled in Punta, Arenas, Chile, next November, justifour hundred years since the valiant voyager earned his place in history. Punta Arenas, at the extreme lower tip of the South American continent, is the southern most city in the world. Aerial mail service between Lon don and Paris has proved so suc cessful that schedules have been ex tended to include two trips a day each way. Practically every day now, Presi dent Wilson may be seen riding in an open auto in Rock Park, or on the Virginia highway leading' to Mt. Vernon. The latter is his, favorite ride. The president wears a little stiff-brimmed straw hat which he holds tighly with his right hand. He looks much older than a year ago; the lines in his face have greatly deepened. He still does only about 10 per cent of a normal day’s work. The cost of living, and particu larly the cost of food, continues to mount. Figures gathered by the department of labor show that on June 15 last the average family ex penditure was 2 per cent higher than on May 15; in May the expenditure was 2 per cent higher than in April; and in April the expenditure was 5 per cent higher than in March. Since January of this year the fam ily expenses have increased 9 per cent. The cost of food since 1913 has gone up on an average of more than 10 J per cent. Under authority established by law the state of North Dakota has engaged in the creamery business by leasing a plant at Werner, which will be operated on a co-operative basis under direction of the Com missioner of Agriculture and La bor. Dairy Commissioner J. J. Oster haus is establishing three stations for the collection of cream for the plant in Mercer and Dunn counties. Farmers will be paid the market price for their cream, and at the end of each season the profits will be pro rated back to them on the basis of the cream supplied. Field workers have already 'been sent out to interest farmers in the keeping of fine dairy cattle and to encourage them to form organiza tions which may obtain state aid under the provisions of the cow bill, which provides for loans to purchase pure breds. Italy’s wheat crop has proven a disappointment and the nation faces the prospect of going hungry unless heavy importations of the cereal are received, according to a statement made by the Italian food commis sioner recently. t It is feared that embargoes at Ar gentina and Inqia would make it difficult for Italy to secure the 30,- 000,000 quintals of wheat needed to give the people bread. A conference of allied powers has been called to consider the emergency. 1’ 10, DOROTHY iDIX TALKS PARTNERS BY DOROTHY DIX The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer (Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) WE have long recognized that marriage is a partnership in which a njan and woman en ter into a life contract to pool their money, their labor, their intelligence and good will and strive together for the common good of the firm. Heretofore woman has been a si lent partner in the concern. Her work was all done on the outside of the store or office, or factory. All that she had was invested in the busi ness, but she had no voice in its management. Generally she was kept in complete ignorance of what it was doing. Nature might have endowed her with extraordinary fi nancial ability and executive effi ciency, but she never had a chance to use her talents. And she shared In only such of the profits of the firm as the senior partner chose to give her if it succeeded, while she went down into bankruptcy if it failed. The entrance of so many clever and capable women into the business world, and especially the marriage of so many men to these aforesaid clever and capable women is begin ning to change this left-handed mat rimonial partnership into a real part nership in which a woman is not only a man’s wife, but his business partner as well. Formerly when a man married a highly-trained business woman he dumped her down into a kitchen where, she was miserable, and where he ascertained that being a cracker jack stenographer does not neces sarily make one a good free-hand cook, nor does a lightning calculator enable one to always have meals on time. Now, when he espouses the effi cient secretary who leaves her em ployer tearing his hair when she gets married, or when he leads to the altar a prize buyer, or a head saleswoman, Mr. Wiseman, instead of wishing the gas range and sta tionary washtubs on her, invites her into his office, or sets up a little busi ness with her. The result is the woman is happy and interested in doing the work she has fitfed herself for and likes, and the man prospers, and matrimony becomes a grand sweet song, with two people work ing shoulder to shoulder for the same end. So universally successful have teen these firms of husband and wife that they seem to offer a solution of many of the social problems of our day. They provide an outlet for the energies of women, for one thing. It is having nothing worth while to do that makes women peevish and naggy and discontented, for the time has gone by whan a woman with brains in her head can find sufficient occupation for a life time in punch ir g holes in cloth and filling them up again, and going to pink teas and bridges, and realizes her highest am bition in winning the blue ribbon at WITH THE GEORGIA PRESS Close the Door, Please "The Republican party has had one streak of good luck, anyway,” says the Houston Post. “La Follette has repudiated it.” But which way is he now headed?

Why not?— Savannah Morning News. Agriculture in Grady Grady county is strictly an agri cultural county and whatever serves to increase the production of the farm products is going to add to the potential wealth of the country. Therefore, it follows that any agen cy that is effective in bringing about better farm methods, thus increasing the production per man power, is just truly adding to the growth of the county as the agency that brings in more population. Particular ef fort needs to be directed to clearing our farms of stumps and the in creased use of implements that will result in greater production from the efforts of the individual worker.— Grady County Progress. The Progress has sounded the “keynote” of the campaign for im proved farms. The dead trees and stumps should be eliminated, so that corn and peanuts may have more space.

Many a ma- who has a wife who is hard to endure as a domestic part ner would find that she was an In valuable asset as a business partner, if he took he.- Into his office, or store and gave her the big constructive work that her body and mind cry aloud for. Also the organizing of the firm of Benedict & Co. will enable thousands of young people to marry who other wise would be compelled to remain x J single. It is all very well to say . that a man should be able to support the woman he marries. Under pres ent economic conditions the average man cannot afford the luxury of a>- idle wife before he is middleag~, and by that time he is so 38c Sir his ways, and case-hardened in selfish ness that he is not fit to marry. But there Is no reason why any capable, industrious young couple, who are willing to work together, should not organize a business and matrimdnlal partnership while they are young enough to have the blood running red in their veins, and the wings of romance hovering over them. Moreover, the business partnership will come nearer to solving ths divorce question than anything else. The reason so many couples drift apart is because they have no com mon interest to hold them together. The man Is absorbed in his business, of which the woman knows nothing. The woman’s days are filled with dress, with society, with clubs of . which the husband knows nothing. -• They are so little ip touch they haven’t even anything to talk abSut, • and they are so bored at home they V seek affinities abroad. But the married couple who are business partners have the strongest of all bonds tying them to’gether. They have a vital, mutual interest. . 1 They speak the same language. They 1 have something they can endlessly discuss together, and you will find no husbands and wives such chums, i or so united, as those who work to gether. The business partnership of a hus band and wife also eliminates strife over money from the matrimonial partnership. There. Is no fight over every penny with a tightwad hus band, nor any ruining of a generods man by extravagance when the wife shares equally with the man in the profits of the firm, and knows exact ly what they can afford to spend, and just why they can’t buy a car or do over the house this year. They used to say that whenever a man lived over his store he always got rich. They say now that when ever a wife works with her husband they become rich. The idea of the domestic business partnership is only new to us in this country. They have practiced it for centuries in France, and it is what has made the French bouregois the most generally prosperous people in the world. So here’s wishing all the firms of Benedict & Co. luck. ) THAT’S A FACT BY ALBERT P.
