Paying it back is what put the “row”

The loyalty of its employes is one of

The condition of agriculturists will be

The value of advertising depends upon

Some people have the idea that going

Better prices are not all that the farm

WARN THE CHILDREN
ADULTS SHOULD be certain to warn
children about dangers that lurk in
apparently harmless things.
Parents, who have boys and girls,
should certainly take occasion to point
out the perils that threaten them. Some
of these threats are insidious and diffi
cult to foresee, but others are fairly pat
ent and easily guarded against.
For example, the other day we read
about an 11-year-old boy, who was giv
en an electric toy motor. He attached it
to a propeller and put the apparatus in
a bathtub to see how it would work. Tile
resulting electric shock hurled him into
the tub, where he drowned.
Now, we suspect that this lad had been |
warned about the danger of electricity
and water. His act, however, was per
fectly natural and his zeal for experi
ment resulted in disaster.
Parents in Chattooga County might
call attention to his fate and thus effec
tively impress upon the minds of their
children the necessity for care in hand
ling some of their playthings. The inci
dent can be multiplied many times and,
in each case, some object lesson demon
strated to inexperienced youngsters.
THE NATION IS NOT SAFE
WITH EUROPEAN nations facing the
dreaded outbreak of warfare, let us be
thankful that the people of this country
face no such immediate perils.
Let us realize, none-the-less, that the
future may present such a threat to this
nation. Let us not assume that we are
immune and that no nation can success
fully attack our shores.
Unfortunately, we cannot conclude that j
no nation would dare attack us if we do !
not attack. Defenseless America would
be quick prey of certain powers who
covet the wealth that nature has given
us. There is no moral principles to re
strain nations like Germany, Italy and
Japan from using war to secure booty.
Regardless of what the moralists pro
claim the only defense for any nation,
against such free-booters, is armed
strength. China, Ethiopia and Czecho
slovakia attest the fact and illustrate the
tactics of aggressors.
CONGRESSIONAL NEGATIVE
THE SESSION of Congress that ad
journed early this month did not dem
onstrate any ability to solve the prob
lems that confront the nation.
It is true that the Congress gave an
exhibition of independence, in regards to
executive recommendations, but when it
killed suggested legislation it failed to
provide substitutes.
Democracy suffers in the world today
because of the apparent inability of dem
ocratic governments to function effective
ly and nowhere is this more apparent
than when legislative blocs develop the
ability to thwart legislation without, at
the same times, exhibiting the ability to
pass satisfactory legislation to meet giv
en situations.
It is possible that the Congress of the
United States will be divded into three
or more groups of members, none able to
pass legislation because of objections on
the part of other groups. It is also evi
dent that such a development would al
most fatally affect responsive govern
ment.
YOUTH’S VIEW
OF TODAY’S NEWS
By WILLIAM CLEGHORN.
Thanksgiving day will probably be
Nov. 23. This will result from a propos
ed plan of the president. In making this
announcement he stated that it would be
beneficial to the business world in that
the pre-Christmas shopping season would
be six days longer. Most men in the fi
nancial field are heartily in accord with
President Roosevelt’s idea. However, the
traditional New Englanders were sur
prisingly shocked, and so while the ma
jority of us have our Turkey day dinners
on the 23, the Old Guard will gorge
themselves of the 30th, which is just an
other Thursday to New Dealers.
Comments throughout the nation gave
varied expressions; two of the most bit
ing follow:
A. L. Zachry, Atlanta Business Man :
‘‘My only reaction is that the president
is breaking another precedent. I can’t
see that the change will help business
particularly.”
Senator Bridges, Republican, New
Hampshire, said: “The president’s an
nouncement was a complete surprise be
cause there had been no intimation of
it in Mrs. Roosevelt’s column.”
I think Mayor Hartsfield of Atlanta,
ikes a splendid outlook on the proposal.
His comment was, “We are thankful
here in Atlanta, and we’ll give thanks on
the day he says.”
The plan caused much talk in the
football world as usually the “big game”
between bitterest rivals comes up Turkey
day. The season ends on Thanksgiving
for mafiy schools but if we dine on the
23rd, this null not be true. Among games
throughout the nation to be so affected,
the one we are interested in is that
mighty classic between those two famous
earns, the Summerville Indians and the
Prion Bulldogs.
Questioning of suspicious characters
continues in the probe of the “City of
San Francisco” crash. Deaths have now
mounted to 24 in the tragic wreck near
Elko, Nev„ and over 100 others required
some treatment for injuries received when
e $2,000,000 train hurtled down a rocky
Nevada canyon. The search for the most
talked of suspect, “the earless man,” is
still on and Bob La Duceur has been
released.
A long-dreamed-of idea is now a real
ity as the government paid $78,425,095
to the Commonwealth and Southern cor
poration, in New York Tuesday. David
E. Lilienthal, TV A director, says that
when dams now contracted for are com
pleted, the TVA will be self-supporting.
So it looks like a bright future for this
project as one of the largest deals taken
from private into public hands was com
pleted.
Thought for the week:
Their is a destiny that makes us brothers,
None goes his way alone;
What we give in the lives of others,
Comes back into our own.
10-FOOT TIRES.
CHICAGO.—The largest tires ever
manufactured, measuring ten feet and
weighing 1,900 pounds, are being made
for the ice cruiser that will be used on
the government’s coming Anarctie ex
pedition.
SURPRISED?
PHILADELPHIA.—Mrs. Anna Mal
lonee, of Compton, Cal., went to Inde
pendence Hall to look at the Liberty
Bell. Arriving, she was greatly surpris
ed when a welcoming committee swept
her off her feet with elaborate ceremon
ies. She was the 500,000th visitor to the
hall this year and received a piece of
wood taken from the room where the
Declaration of Indepence was signed.
BUSINESS.
With “activity well ahead of a year
ago in all major lines,” Secretary Hop
kins reports that the business recovery
movement which started in May contin- j
ued in July.

Breath Bad, Logy?
You May Need This
Just as the lighthouse flashes a
friendly warning t o sailors, so
Nature sends out headaches, bad
breath, biliousness, which often
warn of constipation.
Too many misunderstand or neglect
those symptoms and thereby may
invite a host of constipation’s oth
er discomforts: sour stomach, belch
ing, loss of appetite or energy.
Be wise. Take spicy, all vegetable
BLACK-DRAUGHT tonight by
simple directions and clear your
bowels gently, promptly, thoroughly.
This intestinal tonic-laxative helps
give tone to lazy bowels.
Its long life and popularity testify
to BLACK-DRAUGHT’S merit.
