Thinking Georgians Unite On Smith to Beat Watson AS the Senatorial contest develops it be comes increasingly evident that the race is between Hoke Smith and Thomas E. Watson. This is but natural in view of the striking antithesis which these « two present in purpose, in policy, in tempera ment and in record. The one is interested in ‘ things useful and constructive, in the security of business, the progress of agriculture, the upbuilding of industry, the advancement of education, in the substantial rights and wel fare of the rank and file. The other is in ’ terested primarily in political adventure, in arraying class against class and section against section, in tearing down where others seek to construct, in invoking hatred and strife where others plead for good will and co-working. Senator Smith has been fight ing Democracy’s battles from the perilous depths of Reconstruction up to this high hour, never failing, never tiring. Mr. Watsop has been hating the Democratic party for the last forty years. Senator Smith supported every war measure put forward in the coun try’s struggle with German militarism, and V through wise counsel and zealous labor has- • tened the dawn of victory. Mr. Watson pe rsisted those measures, turned a hostile hand against the cause for which the nation was pouring out her dearest blood, and urged a course that would have made America’s name a byword and a hissing for the ages. £ It is natural, we say, that with two such fundamentally opposite characters, two such radically different records in the field, the contest should lie between those two, regard less of the effort to inject irrelevant issues and minor candidates. It is natural, more over, indeed inevitable, that open-minded -Georgians who prefer substance to sensa tionalism and think the wisdom of their Re public’s fathers to be better than Bolshe vism’s rage should turn to the support of that candidate who stands out as the strong cham pion of their interests, the candidate who can WIN for the prosperity and the honor of the State. There are scores of good Democrats, be it granted, who in point of patriotism and native ability might well bear the standard of Georgia’s loyal hosts in this momentous campaign. There are educators, jurists and ministers, there are business men and big brained artisans, there are captains of indus try and captains of agriculture who would be well worthy, in point of character and thought power, to lead. But need it be said that those qualities alone do not suffice in a contest so crucial as this, nor for problems such as a United States Senator, especially if he is from Georgia and the South, has await ing him. It is not a simple question of who is worthy, but also a question of who can win against the adroit and dangerous Mr. Watson, and of who best can serve the Com monwealth. These are the considerations that give de cisive weight to Senator Smith’s appeal for the support of all who wish to see this bat tle won for Georgia’s material interests and good name. His is the experience, his the lorcefulness, his the strategic position re quired for the great task in hand. It is easy to see why advocates of Mr. Watson would favor the thrusting of other candidates into the race and smile complacently at a sunder ing of the true Democratic vote. But it well nigh passes understanding why any who wish for Mr. Watson’s defeat should ever have counseled such division, should ever have forced a third candidate who obviously can not be elected and who can only sap strength from the party’s critical battlefront. One motive and one alone explains that blunder, the motive of blind malice which certain po litical feudists ever have, and doubtless ever will, hold against Hoke Smith. All that he has done for Georgia weighs nothing against their petty grudge. All his services to agri culture and business and education, all his talent in originating useful laws and his skill in pressing them to enactment, all his labors of patriotism in season of war and his work for disabled soldiers since the armistice, his strength and integrity of character, his val uable friendships and influence at Washing ton, his high worth to the party and the Com monwealth, all count for nothing in the eyes of them who cannot see for petty hate. So It is that they go on abusing Senator Smithy doing their utmost, even though un wittingly, to weaken the sinew and split the vote of the State’s true Democracy. Judged by their tactics, they are not trying to defeat Thomas E. Watson; they are interested solely in defeating Senator Smith. They would hazard the State’s birthright of honor to feed upon pottage of factional revenge. Happily, however, the rank and file of Georgia’s citizenry have hearts less bitter than this, and better balanced heads. Many of them have differed with the senior Senator on issues gone by, but they are not therefore incapable of thinking now in terms of a vital present instead of a dead past, and in the broad interest of their State instead of nar row factionism. They see the contest as it really is, that it lies altogether between Sen ator Smith and Mr. Watson, and that the common welfare imperatively demands a union of loyal forces behind the cause for which the senior Senator stands. This is the view of unprejudiced, practical patriotism, and the view that must prevail for Georgia’s sake.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. Pay for Disa bled Soldiers FURTHER assurance that disabled war veterans taking Vocational training in Atlanta, and possibly all in Georgia and the south, will get an increase of S2O a month in their allotment from the gov ernment, is contained in the current issue of the American Legion Weekly. Hope that the increase would be granted was expressed to ex-service men in At lanta recently by Senator Hoke Smith, who was instrumental in framing the vocation al educational bill who fought hard against the amendment of Senator War ren limiting the full compensation to vo cational students “residing in congested centers of population where maintenance and support is above the average and com paratively high.’’ Within the past few weeks Senator Smith was informed that the vocational board, in interpreting the amendment, had de cided to give twenty dollars a month in crease to students in communities where the cost of board and lodging was forty five dolars a month or over, ten dollars a month increase where the average cost was between forty and forty-five dollars a month, and not to give any increase to students living where the cost of living was less than forty dollars a month. The Senator’s prediction that Atlanta and many other southern communities will fall in the “forty-five dollars a month” class is borne out by the article in the American Legion Weekly, -which states that the vo cational board, getting its information in tele grams from the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the American Legion and other authoritative sources in all parts of the nation, has begun to classify the different communities with a view to giving tbe extra allowance on the August pay check. “As this is being written,” states the Le gion’s correspondent, “telegrams are pouring into the board from its division a. offices, recommending this city and that, one training center and another, for the full twenty dollars monthly increase. To be ex act, on July 26, just five days before August Ist pay day,, 13,842 vocational students in twenty-three vocational training centers had been designated as entitled to the monthly increase of twenty dollars in their allow ance, and such progress was being made that the auditor of the board stated that, in all probability, 25,000 students of the 38,662 disabled men drawing compensation, in all but the most isolated places of training, would get the twenty dollars increase on the August Ist payroll.” Atlanta, states the Legion Weekly, in nam ing over a list of cities, is certain to fall in the class where the high cost of living de mands the full increase. The designation of a city in a certain class also takes in all towns, cities and institutions within com muting distance of the place named. The Legion Weekly predicts that so many training centers will fall into the “forty-five dollars a month class” and that men living in those not included will raise suhc protests if they are not given the full increase, the board eventually will issue a blanket order giving the increase to every man, no matter where he lives. It is to be hoped that the Legion Weekly is right, for The Journal agrees with Senator Smith that no man who was disabled in the war and is now seeking to rehabilitate Glim self should be excluded from any sum the government can afford to allot him while he is studying to put himself again on his feet, independent and self-supporting. ,/ “Slogans are born (> not made,” says a Chi cago booster.

Light Effects on Plant Life DISCOVERIES recently made by the na tional Bureau of Plant Industry show that light exerts a more peculiarly in teresting and decisive influence on plant de velopment than hitherto has been supposed. Too many hours of sunshine, it appears, may prove as unfavorable as too few, not neces sarily as a matter of temperature but through the effect of the light itself. On the principle thus worked out it is said that the flowering and fruiting of divers plants can be hastened or retarded, and brought to pass in any season if the light is properly reg ulated. Thus violets can be made to bloom in midsummer by keeping them in the dark ex cept for the number of hours of daylight to which they are accustomed in early spring; and in the same way flowers and vegetables which ordinarily must bide autumn’s com ing can be Induced to much speedier matur ity. That it is light, not temperature, which controls in these cases is proved by experi ments in which special care was taken to keep the temperature for the plants in the dark enclosures as high as for those outside. Dr. W. W. Garner and *Dr. W. A. Allard, to whom the country is indebted for these interesting and potentially valuable findings, point out that “spring flowers and spring crops happen to be spring flowers and spring crops because the days at the season of their flowering and fruiting have the proper num ber of hours of light.” Likewise the flow ers and crops of summer require a longer light period, and those of autumn a shorter one. It appears, moreover, that “a length of day which is unfavorable to reproduction may be favorable to growth,” under which condition the plant will vegetate luxuriant ly but bring forth no fruit. Where the length of day is favorable both to vegetative growth and to reproduction we have the “ever bearing” types. An experiment with soy beans is thus reported: “For the test plants the day was shortened by several hours; that is, they were exposed to the light only from ten o’clock in the morning to three o’clock in the afternoon. They were first placed in the dark house on May 20. Control plants, otherwise treated exactly like the test plants were, were left exposed to the light from dawn till dark. The first blossoms appeared on the dark-house plants on June 16. No blossoms have as yet ap peared on the plants that were left in the light all day. These plants require a short day and a long night for flowering and seed bearing. In tests with other plants just the opposite was found to be true. The plants that were left in the light all day did not grow luxuriantly, but produced flowers and seed, while those that were kept in the dark a part of the day made abundant growth, but made no seed, or else were greatly retard ed in producing seed.” Here again the scien tists observed that, except for extremes of heat or cold, temperature seemed to exert relatively little influence. “Plants kept in the dark for a part of the day underwent, in midsummer, the changes that in nature com 6 in the fall and that always have been attributed to lower temperatures”—this be ing the case even when the temperature for the darkened plants was higher than that out of doorr. Delvings and discoveries like these seem to fix tha mind of man as a sovereign over nature, youngest of her children though he is. He rises superior to her seasons’ man dates, lengthening or shortening the lite cycle of her plants and bringing them by a thousand wondrous ways to the will of his royal art. Yet, after all, it is as the old king said to Shakespeare’s Perdita when they talked of grafting flowers: “This is an art Which does mend nature, —change it rather; But the art itself is nature’s.” STAR GAZING By H. Addington Bruce IT was an exceptional night for stars — no clouds, no moon, an air briskly crisp. High overhead hung Vega, with Altair to the south, Arcturus sinking in the west, Capella rising low on the horizon in the northeast. Two young people, standing in the open meadow, feasted their minds and their souls in a study of the constellations. You could hardly see them from the road, their pocket-light ocacsionally flashing in firefly semblance as they turned it on their sky map. Along passed two farmers, homeward bound. One voiced his puzzlement at the figures in the meadow, questioning his com panion as to what they might be doing. “Doing?” came the contemptuous response. “They’re staring at the stars. That’s all they’re doing. Foolishness!” The young people, hearing, smiled to them selves. They could afford to smile. Foolish ness their star gazing might seem to the farmer. To them it was a source of joy, of inspiration for finer thinking and nobler do ing. , As in truth, star gazing will prove to all who undertake it, not as a mere watching of twinkling pinpoints, but as a means of gaining a clearer understanding of the world wherein we live, a broader vision of the uni verse of which our world is but a tiny frag- “If you doubt God, go look at the stars,” is a bit of advice that any religious-minded thinker might well give. Also go look at the stars if burdened with worries and cares. For, as one star lover has exclaimed from the heart: “When earthly troubles oppress us there Is nothing like astronomy for belittling moun tains to their original molehills.” Conceit is put in its proper place by a course of star study. The petty achievements of which men often are unduly proud are seen in truer perspective through contempla tion of the wondrous firmament God has wrought. How wondrous it is! How incredibly lofty and profound. How eloquent, despite its eter nal silences. You gaze at the single star Capella. That is, you thing you are gazing at a single star. Actually, astronomers inform you, you are beholding two stars, millions and millions of miles apart, yet so far from you that their light seems to come as from one star only! Then you let your eyes roam to all quarters of the compass. Everywhere stars shine down upon you, vast spaces betwen each star, however thickly they may seem to be clus tered. And beyond them all are other spaces —spacer unimaginable, unknowable. Your soul grows as you look. Your heart reaches out and upward. Life and the uni verse and the supreme Director of life an£ Maker of the universe acquire an ever more significant meaning to you. You are gaining an education you need—an education every one needs. So, let none of us sneer with the farmer, “Foolishness!” Let all become star gazers, looking up, up, studying the lessons written in hieroglyphs of gold—lessons that will help the learner to pass happily through his span of earthly ex istence and to prepare worthily for the phase of which the heavens in their majesty give assurance.

The Bolshevists have the largest army in the world. They are actuated by an emotional force, a fanaticism that is stronger than any pa triotism opposed to it. 1920 is alarmingly like 1914. Then it was the Central Empires motivized by insane race-pride and imperialism; now it is a mad horde who are not opposed to any nation but to all nations. It is impossible not to sympathize with the Russian masses. They have been for genera tions subjected to the most cruel tyranny of history. That the people at last arose and overturned can but somehow gratify our sense of poetic justice. But the revolt has got out of hand. It has been taken advantage of cleverly by a group of mad Mullahs astride the wild horse of theory. Seizing the reins of power, the Bol sheviki, a small minority, marshal the hordes of Russia to overthrow the civilization of the world How shall we combat it? Two or three truths of common sense are apparent amid the general confusion. 1. If the Bolshevik! are wrong the most effective way to prove it is to give them a chance to work out their theories in Russia. If wrong they will collapse; if right they will succeed, and if they should happen to be right we have no desire to oppose them. 2. Force should not be used. Russia should not be attacked; at least no more than is necessary to prevent aggressive con quests by her. Bolshevism is an idea. No body but a fool thinks force can stop an idea 3. We should set our own house in order. The thing that directly and constantly favors Bolshevism is Class. All efforts to stiffen Class consciousness, to wage Class war and to appeal to Class hate should be combated. 4. A combination of Employers and Capi talists to “fight” Labor, or an organization of Laborers to “fight” Capitalists is plough ing the soil and sowing the seed of Bolshe vism, whose very life blood is Class fury. 5. The essence of Democracy, the soul of Americanism, is that all men are numan. Our salvation consists in getting Capitalist and Laborer to realize that, to get together, to emphasize co-operation, to drop the fool notion that violence ever gets any man or class of men what they want. 6. More attention should be paid to re organizing industry on a co-operative basis, to realizing the primacy of the human factor in business, to the cultivation of mutual un derstanding, and to a proper detestation of strife. 7. The summary use of courts, the reli ance upon laws prohibiting strikes or profi teering, the transfer of great industries to government control, the dependence of labor upon its power to stop industry or destroy property, and the hostile repression of la bor’s efforts by guns and militia are all of a piece of folly. There is but one way out. It is to Get To gether. If we don’t we shall certainly “get ours.” (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.)

CURRENT EVENTS Gasoline is so scarce In America that the Standard Oil company has contracted to buy 50,000 barrels daily from a Mexican company for a pe riod of two and one-half years. Farmers in the neighborhood of Atlanta sold more than SIO,OOO worth of vegetables, chickens, eggs, butter, hams and other country products one day last week at the curb market established as a municipal .enterprise not long ago. An aerial railroad, forty-five miles long, is. under construction in the Northern Andes, South America, for the purpose of connecting two towns in Colombia that are now almost in accessible because of the steep and dangerous mountain trails. If you are planning a trip to Japan, 'it would be well to get started in the next week or two. After Sep tember 15, the steamer fare from the Pacific coast to the Isle of Nip pon will be boosted 20 per cent, mak ing the trip cost S3OO. It cost Great Britain $267,300,000 to pay for its military operations in Russia from the date of the armi stice to last March, according to a recent announcement of Lloyd George. Now that the Bolshevik! are trying to gobble Poland, how ever, England has stopped sending troops there. Thirty-five vessels, aggregating 272,150 deadweight tons, were com pleted for United States Shipping Board account in July. Thirty-three of the vessels were of steel and two of wood. For the first two weeks of August eleven vessels aggregating 60,775 deadweight tons were com pleted. Raynaud’s diseace, a rare ailment that affects the extremities, brought death to a dentist of Yonkers, N. Y., last week. He was the sixth victim to succumb to the strange malady in the history of the country, doctors say. The hands and feet of a suffer er from Raynaud’s disease become white and cold, then congested, and finally, gangrenous. Jean Parmentier, leading figure in financial affairs of the government of France, arrived in this country last week. He told prominent New Yorkers that his country was on a sound money basis and that every dollar of money loaned by America would be repaid. He may arrange another loan of $125,000,000 or so before leaving. Out at Longview, Texas, cotton farmers recently adopted the plan of paying 25 cents a gallon for squares infected by the boll weevil. When 2,000 gallons had been brought in, however, it was found that only about 30 per cent of them had been attacked by the weevil. After they were burned the offer was with drawn. The United States army is today scattered over the face of the earth. Out of a total strength of 203,870, units in continental United States comprise 153,000; in the Philippines, roughly 20,000; Ger many, 15,690 Hawaii, 4,600; ;ana ma, 4,350«; Porto Rico, 1,500; China, 1,500; Alaska, 890; France, 138, and England, 13. Nearly 100,000 American farmers have purchased approximately 3,000,- 000 acres of land in Western Can ada since the beginning of the year, according to a Winnipeg dispatch to to the Calgary Daily Herald, which goes on to say that thousands more are expected during the harvest sea son to inspect the famous wheat belt and purchase land on which to settle next year. Up to date 3,667 returned men, out of a total of 18,257 for the whole of Canada, have been placed on the land as settlers in the Winnipeg district by the soldiers’ settlement board. The loans approved in the Winnipeg dis trict have been represented at $12,- 247,732, the total loan for the Do minion amounting to $72,236,142. A new branch of the soldiers’ settle ment work is in helping the settlers’ classes of domestic science. Sir James Eric Drummond, secre tary general of the League of Na tions, has purchased the National hotel, one of the largest in Geneva, for the League of Nations. The staffs of the member nations will be housed in the hotel. The site of the league's head quarters has not yet been chosen. Several international bureaus are meeting difficulties in finding quar ters, as the city is overcrowded and rents and living costs are mounting. People of the United States are spending more than $1,000,(100 a day for coffee. The import valuation of coffee entering the country in the last fiscal year was more than $300,- 000,000, and when it is considered that this import valuation is the price in the country from which ifnported, it is quite evident that the added cost of freight, roasting and distribution to the consumer will bring the total above $365,000,000, compared with two-thirds that sum two years ago. More than half the vessels enter ing and leaving American ports to trade with other nations are under the American flag, it was announced yesterday by the United States ship ping board in making public a sur vey for the first six months of 1920. The restoration of the American flag on the seven seas has proceeded rapidly the last year. This is shown by the fact that in 1919 only 42 per cent of the net tonnage clearing in export trade was American and only 51 per cent entering in import trade. A bit in advance of its figures on business conditions throughout the country, the United States Chamber of Commerce has let out information that the demand for baby carriages has fallen off just one-half in the last six months. A number of reasons are suggest ed for this stagnation in the baby buggy business. Housing conditions are poor nearly everywhere. Domes tic servants, to act as chauffeurs for the infant riders, are few and far between. The cost of baby car riages has gone skyward along with everything else. More cattle are being dipped in Texas at the present time than ever before in the history of the state, according to W. A. Wallace, chair man of the live stock sanitary com mission. "We are breaking all previous records each month," he says. "The people become educated to the neces sity of dipping their cattle and the benefits that are to be derived from tick eradication, instead of escaping in every way possible through some loophole left when the tick eradica tion law was recently amended, as some officials were of the opinion they would, they are co-operating with the commission in every way possible." The story of the U-58 ends with a touch which is characteristically German. It was one of the sub marines which were surrendered to the allies at the signing of the armi stice. Its first visitors, on this oc casion, were the Americans; they were eager to read its logbook, and to find out just what happened on this final voyage. The book was on board, and it contained a record of the U-53’s voyages, from the day that it was commissioned, up to the day that it was surrendered. Two or three pages only were missing; the Germans had ripped out that part which described the encounter with the American subchasers! They were evidently determined that we should never have the satisfaction of know ing to just what extent we had dam aged the boat; this was the only revenge they could take on us. Among candidates for places in the ranks of new millionaires are the city marshals in Queens and Brooklyn, whose incomes from the disposses sion of families and piling their furniture in the streets have been ranging from SIOO to SSOO a day, according to the best estimates avail able. ’ These earnings have been reaching the maximum figures in the last few days, as evictions have been more numerous than in any similar period since the tide in the war between landlords and tenants began to turn in favor of the landlords. The marshals receive $7 for each dispossess warrant they serve. The only work the marshal has to do is to see that the furniture of the evicted one is not hurled out of a window, but is carried downstairs with more or less care and placed on a sidewalk. Some of the mar shals now travel in automobiles and sit fanning themselves while the “smashers” make the proper clean up of the furniture. PICTURESQUE PUEBLO By FREDERIC J. HASKIN PUEBLO, Col., Aug. 20.—Many cities, like people, seem to ac quire sudden prosperity only at the expense of :heir dispo sitions, but not Pueblo. Although an important industrial metropolis, bur dened with the responsibility of sup plying a tremendous variety of man ufactured articles to the rest of the world, Pueblo is as informal, as un pretentious and as friendly as in the days when it was but a tiny trading post—and almost as pictur esque. , , Pueblo’s main street is the only one we have encountered in our west ern travels which can anywhere near ly compare with the stirring brand of western thoroughfares occurring in the movies and in some of our most popular fiction.. Even it is rapidly succumbing to the modern influence of five-and-ten-cent stores, Victrola shops, movie palaces, inter ior decorating parlors and soda founatin lunch rooms, but a few traces of the bold, bad west of old still suivive. Among the most thrill ing of these are dozens of funny, little pawnshops, whose windows contain not the usual assortment of discarded jewelry, but a formidable collection of high-class revolvers, daggers, bowie knives and “jimmies.” Apparently it is as easy to buy a dangerous weapon in Pueblo as it is to be attacked with one in New York, and yet Pueblo has never yet had to be quieted down by visits from the state militia. These stores cater chiefly to the Mexican popula tion we are told, the Mexicans being particularly fond of carrying val uable weapons, although they are generally quite peaceful. Thus, while the stock is largely ornamental, it gives Pueblo a father reckless air, especially since a few of the shops are in direct and sinister line with impressive undertaking establish ments. The appearance of a large num ber of men in khaki shirts, breeches, and boots, some of them on horse back, suggests a mining atmosphere, but in reality many of them are foremen and superintendents of plants producing nothing more start ling than bricks or saddles. And' many of the Mexican Don Juans w r ho stroll gracefully up the main street on Saturday nights, wearing broad brimmed, black felt sombreros re calling Spain of the sixteenth cen tury, are laborers in the local steel Plant. ... . A Western Pittsburg For Pueblo, in spite of its exotic touches, is a typical American in dustrial city, containing over 190 factories and proud of its recent name, “The Pittsburg of the West. This is usually an amazing piece ot news to easterners whose idea of Pueblo’s industrial or geographical status is distinctly visionary. Gee, whiz! This is a regular town, ex claimed a New Jersey manufacturer who happened to change trains here about year ago. “And I always tnougt it was an Indian village.” As P n make up for this Injustice, this manufacturer has now opened n . c tory here and become a confirmed Puebloite. , . , Pueblo owes its spectacular indus trial rise to its admirable location, which is in a basin on the eastern foothills of the Rockies and on both sides of the Arkansas river. It is not only surrounded by the richest agricultural country in the state of Colorado, but it is also in the vicin ity of large coal and oil fields, and provides the nearest, cheapest downward haul from the gold, cop per and iron mines. As a strategic railroad point, with five trunk lines stopping at its back door, it has be-> come the greatest receiving and dis tributing center west of the Mis sissippi. In other words, it is the logical point for receiving raw ma terals, reducing them to the smallest bulk in the form of manufactured articles, and shipping them out again. Most of the city’s growth has oc curred durin gthe past ten years, in which period the population has in creased 57.8 per cent, while scores of new factories have been added. Pu eblo now has the largest steel plant west of Chicago. It is a great smelt ing center. It has a giant flour mill, with a storage capacity of 500,000 bushels of wheat, which ships flour to every part of the globe, a large shipment recently going forward to Egypt. • / Where Saddles Are Made Two large saddle houses are lo cated here, which specialize in the western saddle, and distribute It not only throughout the west, but in South America, Mexico and Canada. Pueblo tents and awnings are shipped over an equally wide territory, while one tent and awning firm manufacture a patented waterbag, known as the Desert Waterbag, which is famous in all parts of the world where there is a scarcity of water, being greatly in demand in some parts of South America and Africa. Pueblo Is also the greatest bread distributing center in the west —a prestige which it acquired during the warr~when many bakeries within the radius of hundreds of miles were compelled to drop out of existence because they could not keep pace with the government regulations. Evidently the bakeries of Pueblo could, for they are now supplying the surrounding territory, including parts of Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Kansas and Wyoming with bread, rolls and doughnuts. In fact, so conspicuous is the bakery atmos phere in Pueblo that the smell of hot raisin bread and doughnuts will be associated with a visit here. Yet with all its industrial responsi bilities, and we have mentioned but a few of them, Pueblo Is extremely good-natured and easy-going, with a great capacity for enjoying life. It seems to be filled with a boundless enthusiasm for everything. In the evening, when the band plays in the park and most of the population is present, this general exuberance bursts forth in the form of loud and prolonged applause. After each musi cal number, the automobiles parked in the vicinity of the band stand press their horns and keep up a constant din until the leader of the band bows his acknowldgment and gives the sig nal for another encore. Sometimes, if the tune is a popular one, five or six encores are demanded before the audience relents and permits the band to drop its Instruments. If you ask the Puebloites, they will tell you that their energy and cheer fulness are due to the almost per petual sunshine, which by actual record occurs on an average of 350 days a year. “You see,” said one of them in propounding this theory, “the sunshine has to escape somewhere, and so it turns us all into natural Pollyannas.” They Used to Have Liquor But it may also be that Pueblo’s pleasantness is an inheritance from its past—a past which hardly seems possible in this year of our Lord and the eighteenth amendment. For Pu eblo has always been famous for its good spirits. It was here, during the mining days, that the redoubtable Jack Allen had his popular estab lishment and brew which tradition says was made from alcohol, chili, Colorado tobacco, Arkansas water, old boots, rusty bayonets, soap weed and cactus thorns. The chief charm of this liquor was that “it cut like a three-edged file as it went down.” At this time, one of the frequent visitors at Jack’s was a certain prominent Colorado lawyer, who, while extremely talented, was, un fortunately, in the habit of getting drunk every time he was needed. “On one occasion,” declared the old-timer who told us this incident, "when he had an important case he evaded his client, who was keeping close watch on him, and succeeded in getting to Jack’s before breakfast. After search ing for several hours, the client found him asleep in a stagecoach along the river bank The client thought for a few minutes, and then an inspiration came to him. He per suaded the employes of the coach to pull it out into the middle of the river and leave it there, hoping that his attorney, thus imprisoned, would become sober in time to try the case. “But it didn’t work,” continued the old-timer. “The old boy woke up after a while, and got a farmer who was driving his ox team across the ford to come to his rescue, and the client never did get his case tried by that lawyer.” The most tragic event in Pueblo’s history was also due to the conviv iality of the early pioneers, -who in sisted upon clebrating Christmas and forgetting their homesickness by get ting drunk on the 25th of December, 1854. Pueblo then consisted of a trading post, located where the Santa Fe depot now stands. By noon of TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1920. DOROTHY DIX TA t K ARE YOU ONE OF THESE 7 I BY DOROTHY DIX OHI The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer;* |* (Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) NOW there be five varieties of the female bore, each more deadly than tho ether. The first is the Woman Who Has Seen Better Days. You meet her everywhere, but she chief ly abounds in business offices and boarding houses. Within five min utes of your first meeting with her, she has told you that she never expected to come to THIS, and after you have known her twenty-five years, she is still telling you the same thing. She is a phonograph with one record, and it never occurs to her that no human being except herself aares a tinker's d»mn about her pedigree, of the riches her family used to have, or is interested in any “has been” stuff. All we care for is the now-present. The Woman Who Has Seen Bet ter Days never learns to do her work properly, because she thinks that would put her on a level with the plebeian woman who is having her best days in earning a good salary. And if she keeps boarders, she feels that you should not ob ject to the coffee being as weak as dishwater, because it is poured out of Great Grandmother’s silver coffee pot. About which, and the splendor in which she was reared, she orates endlessly. The second among bores is the Woman Who Tells You Her Trou bles. She keeps her tears on tap, and turns them on at every oppor tunity. She comes to see you and weeps on your breast until you are sodden with salt water. She is like some uncanny bird that lives by feasting on its own heart, and she forces you to' partake of her hideous meal. She tells you tales of the horri ble brutality with which her hus band treats her, but she goes on living with him. She relates piteous stories of her childrens’ ingratitude, but she continues to cherish them. She bewails her poverty. She la ments her bad luck. She bemoans her ill health. She is on a perpetual orgy of melancholy, and she forces every one who knows her to drink her cup of sorrow, and she is nev er so happy as when she has cast a wet blanket over any festive oc casion, and made everybody present long for a dose of cyanide of po tassium. The third greatest among bores is the Woman Who Pretends To Be Young. She’s a kittenish little thing of some fifty odd summers and heaven knows how many winters, but she sets the clock back every year, lays a heavier hand on the rouge pot and the hair dye bottle. She giggles and simpers, and shimmies, though you can hear her poor old bones cracking as she dances, and she says “we girls,” and teases herself about men young enough to be her grand sons. When she refers to anything that happened farther in the past than ten years, she always says, “I WITH THE GEORGIA PRESS Sweet Potatoes in South. Georgia W. Y. Mardre, of this city, who has been shipping potatoes to the At lanta market for several days, got off two more cars of Porto Ricos this week, one car being shipped from this place and the other from Dixie.

"TSarmarks” of Genius And there are those who think that genius consists of half-closed eyes and a mop of unkempt hair. Thus when you see a person with that gen eral make-up you can safely figure that he is advertising his best fea ture. It’s the inevitable encounter of inspiration vs. perspiration all over again.—Dublin Tribune. Ty Cobb at the Bat A report says that Ty Cobb is go ing to stump the country for the Democrats. We wouldn’t be sur prised to learn that the Republicans have hired Charlie Chaplin to do the same act for them and thus portray the G. O.

For Better Pastures "Pasture day” at Thomasville is . being attended by hosts of farmers who are deeply interested in the best method of pasturing cattle and who have been carrying on so ™ e experiments. It is one of the c “? e t advantages of Georgia in the matter of stock raising that we can pasture our cattle in the open practically ail the year, while the middle west has to rely on feed. But there is still more room for determining just what is the best kind of pasture. —Macon News. It was the same old story—-two In experienced men in a small sailing boat, and a sudden squall. One of them, Jim, was just taking a drink from a bottle when the boat capsized. The other man, Tom, clung to the bottom of the craft all right; but Jim, handicapped by the bottle, was a good deal knocked about in the seething waters. After a time his strength began to fail him, and, swimming with one hand and holding the bottle high with the other, he shouted despair ingly: . .. "Tom, I’m afraid I can’t reach the Tom shouted back: “Well, Jim, if you can’t, throw the bottle!” this fateful day, the seventeen men who occupied the post were in such a cordial frame of mind that when a band of wanderinf Utes happened by, they invited them in to partake of the festival.
