Entered at the Postoffice at Summerville,
Ga., as Second-Class Mail Matter.
Nations, like individuals, must stand
for honor, fair place and law.
Nobody can buy everything at home
unless the merchants have everything to
sell.
There is a difference between the rep
resentative form of government and a
democracy.
The old swimming hole can be the last
place you will visit on earth —unless you
are careful.
What has become of the people who
feared that the radio would put the news
papers out of business?
If you don’t think Summerville is the
best place for you to live in, you might
instigate some improvements.
As July 4th approaches may we request
the super-patriots to let American ideals
alone; they will take care of themselves.
There are people in the United States
who know more about the problems of
Europe than they do about the problems
of the American States.
The human race has been on the globe
a long time and it will probably continue
to make progress regardless of what the
present generation does.
When a disease attacks a community,
the people are filled with consternation,
but little thought is given to automobile
accidents which kill thousands of Ameri
cans every year.
The highest compliment that a mer
chant can pay an individual is to sell on
credit. If some Summerville merchant has
done this for you, why not strain a point
and makeHiim a payment on account?
He probably needs it.
LET’S SWIM SAFELY
The swimming season is upon us again
and the newspapers, in the next three
months, will carry the stories of hundreds
of swimmers who have enjoyed their last
swim.
Swimming appeals to nearly every
person. It is a sport that deserves its
popularity but, just the same, it is dan
gerous. No one can tell when peril is
near and the water is no place in which
to take chances.
Swimmers should be careful if they
want to live. The idea that “it can't
happen to me” is no protection against
cramps that drown the strongest men. It
does not protect the occupants of over
turned boats who cannot swim a stroke.
It gives no strength to the foolhardy
swimmer who weakens himself, or her
self, by prolonged and solitary expedi
tions in the water.
RETAINING OUR WORLD MARKET
There are critics of the proposal to
subsidize exports of Cotton and w’heat
who seem not to understand what it is
all about.
For example. Secretary Wallace, as
we understand his proposal, does not
desire to subsidize the entire surplus of
these crops by contributions from the
tariff fund specifically authorized to be
used for the purpose.
What Mr. Wallace has in mind is bas
ed upon the following facts:
That for many years the United States
has had a certain percentage of the
world market in cotton and wheat.
That in recent years, through various
manipulations by foreign countries, these
markets have been restricted to Ameri
can farmers.
That the United States should take
whatever action is necessary to retain for
American farmers their just share of the
world market by meeting the competition
of other nations, which means that the
United States should offset the discrimi
natory action of other nations in attempt
ing to hog the market for their own
fa mere.
This is a far cry from indiscriminati
nate dumping. It is intended to preserve
the status quo, to save the market that
our farmers have enjoyed. It is not an
attempt to take from other nations their
share of the foreign market, based upon
averages for a number of years before
the nations of the world went on their
spree of nationalism.
Certainly, if other nations know that
the United States, the richest nation in
the world, is ready to meet competition
to retain her percentage of world mar
kets for farm produce, there will be less
inducement for them to engage in a com
petition in which they cannot expect to
come out ahead.
Inasmuch as the American government,
through its high tariffs, protects home
markets for manufacturers, often enabl
ing them to sell their goods in foreign
countries at prices cheaper than they are
sold in this country, there can be no
valid objection to doing much the same
thing for farmers.

virtually the only adequate domes
tic oil supply in the world. Also
it has given this nation the means
and the methods of increasing and
prolonging this service of oil.
So far as oil Is concerned the
United States is far better prepar
ed than In 1917. Today this coun
try has nearly twice the number
of producing oil wells, four times
the annual production of crude
oil and twice the number of re
fineries that were available for war
service In 1917. Annual production
of finished gasoline by American
refineries is eight times as great
as in 1917; lubricating oil produc
tion is double and fuel oil produc
tion is treble that of 1917
Improvements Since 1917
Since 1917 the United States,
virtually alone among the nations,
has developed its petroleum indus
try through private enterprise In
that period the nation’s oil reserves
have been multiplied by three
Refining capacity has been multi
plied by four and the gasoline
recovered from each barrel of
crude oil has been doubled tn
quantity, vastly improved tn qual
ity. Recent refining developments
promise an even greater recovery
of gasoline from crude oil and a
higher octane, more powerful fuel
Merchandising history has been
made in the Industry’s development
of a distribution system for petrole
um products far surpassing that of

Efficient Distribution
With such a vast maze of trans

keep in the air mammoth fleets of
bombers and combat planes. This
industry also produces the world's
sole supply of helium, the non
inflammable gas used by the dirigi

are now prepared to produce not
only petroleum fuels and lubricants,
but, when circumstances dictate,
synthetic products ranging from
food and clothing to the most pow

Touring Reporters have now asked

Averaging all replies so far shows
that 93 out of every 100 users
questioned declared CAR DU I
benefitted them!
Users by thousands are eager to
tell how CAR DU I has given
them appetite; helped them gam
strength; has thus relieved them
of the symptoms of functional
dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition.
Many also say that, when symp

in larger doses helps “at the

MILLIONS TO HONOR
FATHER’S DAY
| * JUNE 18TH ‘
I nr- -
neglected members of every fam
ily. Poor father has always worked
the hardest, been the least appre
ciated, and been so generous with
his family that he spent a min>
mum on himself and his clothes.
Now he’s going to get a break.
Surveys have shown that fathers
are usually the poorest dressed
members of every family. Children
get the lion’s share of the family
clothes budget because they need
nice clothes for school and out
grow them quickly. Mother# gen
erally hold the family purse string®
and purchase clothes for them
selves when necessary. While poor
father lets himself go until last, al
though mother trys her best to get
him into the stores to buy new
clothes when he needs them.
Most wives frankly admit that
their husbands should be better
dressed. They feel it’s important
for them to look prosperous In the
business world. They also believe
that a good looking hat is one of
the most important things a man
can own because It attracts the
most attention. When he meets
people on the street, they look at
his face and are thus more apt to
notice a shabby or becoming hat
than anything else.
So on Father’s Day this year,
families are going to see to it that
father receives presents that will
make him a better dressed man.
Gifts like a' new
hat—ora gift cer
tificate for one —
or new shirts and /
ties that will spruce up his appear
ance. Gone are the days of useless
and unwanted gifts. So, thanks to
Father’s Day which millions are
celebrating all over the United
States on June 18th, father will
get lots of useful gifts and be bet
ter dressed in spite of k-mself.
