HON. MARTIN V. CALVIN.
lor many yeam lion. Martin V
Calvin wuh a riHdent of (Ills county
'■ind city, anil no one during all that
time was more active In efforts to
interest atul urounse and to improve
the conditions of the people.
In a recent issue of The Atlanta
ConMHutton Klltor Clark Howell pays
Mr. Calvin the following well deserv
ed compliment:
A Pioneer Publlci*t.
Tho Constitution cougratulati's
tli« Chamber of ('omniorca of
WnycroHH, tin.. upon having en
listed ihu services of Martin V.
Calvin 11 h ith acerctary.
Mr Calvin enjoys the unique
distinction o la lug h ilonei’t in
Georgia In the matter of organ
ized publicity for cities. Many
years sun. In co-operation 'with
the laic Patrick Walsh. Mr. Cal
vln conducted a publicity Inirean
for AngUHla Hint tiie territory con
tilKiioua lie pitched mid main
tained that work on a male that
set a |i#'t , edent lor all Georgia,
and that undoubtedly gave an im
petus to propaganda of IhU na
ture in every part of the South
Today Mr Calvin is better \
equipped than ever. No man In
Georgia exceeds him In command
of statistics and fuels hearing on
commercial, agricultural and In
dustrial Georgia. He Is a hard
worker, enjoys 11 large acquaint
ance with public men, and should
lie if Invaluable service in the de
velopment work for wl loh the
wlregrass Is Justly famous. No
better selection could have been
made by Way-cross
Augusta friends extend congratula
tions to Mr. Calvin In hts new field
of work.
SHOPPING IN SUMMER.
The firms of It. Altman and ootn
pnny and John Wannamaker have de
cided to close their dry goods houses
for the entire day on Saturdays during
the months of July and August. This
is in addition to the regular early clos
ing rule for the summer season and In
addition to the vacations which these
firms accord their clerks and attend
ants.
This gives the employes of these
stores a week-end holiday, beginning
at five o’clock Friday afternoon and
and ending on Monltiy mornings at
ight-thlrty.
The problem of serving the shop
pers all during the summer months
and at the same time giving the store
employes enough rest and recreation
Is a serious one, where the weather Is
continuously fierce during the sum
mer months.
It Is only fair to other merchants to
point out. however, that Altman and
Wannamaker can afford to close their
houses on Saturday, while other mer
chants. dependent upon a less smart
and fashtnnutde patronage would lose
heavily. This Is true of Augusta mer
chants and we fear no aurli fortunate
rule will he found practical In the
south despite the fact that the weath
er Is warmer and steadily warmer
disn In the large northern cities.
Yet the public and the merchante
really ought to come to a mutual un
derstanding by which the saleswomen
und salesmen will gel greater comfort
In living. In tropical countries the
stores open from early morning until
ten or half past, close through the
heated term of the day and then open
again for an hour or two in the cool of
the evening. We have always believed
that this plan Is suited to cllmstes and
customs of the southern cities and
would hold business without Imposing
hardships and fatigue upon the store
attendants
The long wait through the heat of

THE WA YS OF THRIFT
<’ p> righted 1914. American Society for
Thrift.
The Use of Time.
A New Yorker wns showing n visit
ing Japanese the sights of his city.
He rushed his guest down Into the
subway oidy In time to see the gates
of a subway express train clang and
the curs pulling out. "There.” cxclaim
• d the impatient New Yorker, “We’ve
hot two minutes.” "What were yon
goim-c to do with those two minutes?”
inquired the mystified Jap who was
in the habit of conserving Ids time as
wgjl as Ids money for a definite pur
pose
Mi Harding Is ft tvpcial good wife
and mother "a real thrifty, hard
w orking woman" the‘neighbors say.
She lives in a New England town and
follows with all the religious fervor of
a good Chinaman the example and
habits of her parents and grandpar
-1 nts. It was Monday and she had til
th' time to let the Joy of the sunshine
enter her thought. She saw it only
as whitening her clothes on the tine.
In will-worn gingham and sleeves to
tho elbow she struggled with a "heavy
w ash.” Hints and steam and "tired feel
ings" pervaded the pretty home, and
the children kept well In the back
ground. "Nd, I haven’t any faith tn
those new fangled washing machines.”
she said with a finality which cheeked
the day, the midday lunch hour, In
which It Is necessary to go out and
return when the sun is doing Its best
to addle the brains and exhaust the
nerves of those who encounter its heat
Is a trial which It takes courage and
endurance to bear.
Only a few straggling shoppers en
ter the stores between the noon hour
und the cool of evening and the loss
from closing the doors at these hours
would minimised. As the custom
now Is, the mail order exercises a se
ductive Influence upon those who like
Gie comfort and seclusion of their own
homes too welt to go out tn the heat
of the day. and a grent deal of busi
ness which really ought to go to the
Augusta merchants Is drawn to New
Yorlj. Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
even Atlanta.
This la simply because shopping Is
tin Inconvenience iwul a hardship both
to the buyer and the seller. It could
be made easier and pleasanter for
both and, we believe, more profitable
for both. Augusta Is a tropical city,
so far as climate goes, from the first
of June to the middle of September.
What's the matter with making our
customs comfortable and suitable to
our situation?
GOVERNMENT LAND ACQUISI
TIONS.
The government has bought from
Mrs. George Vanderbilt the Plsgah
Forest tract of Mi. 700 acres, which Is
to be ustHl ns a game preserve. The
purpose of tills purchase Is to con
serve the watershed of the French
Broad river. This purchase Is In ad
dition to others aggregating several
hundred thousand acres In all und Is
a part of the flood prevention policy
upon which the government Is enter
lug. The l'lsgah Forest section
Is the natural sanitarium of the south
east and the protection w hteta this
government purchase means to the
Houth is very great.
It Is a very difficult thing for the
states to net together for their protec
tion tn conserving forests and over
coming the tendency toward floods.
These government purchases, though
enormously expensive, are for the
benefit, that we doubt If It Is properly
appreciated.
GUARDING THEM.
The Employer- By the way, the
children usually eat with us.
The New Governess (firmly) l
must object to that.

notions of grammar."—-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
INDOOR SPORTS ct By Tad
the invitation on her husband’s Ups to
go and see them demonstrated at the
eentral grocery. "My clothes are white
and nice, and I think too much of them
for any such half-way methods."
Mrs. I >avt» married a young Ohio
farmer and settled In a progressive
western town. Her parents were
thrifty people and, like the Wise Men
of old, cattle from the East. It was
Monday forenoon and the clothes line
was out. and the washing was "doing"
111 the laundry. She left the piano
whore she had hen happily trying
some new music to answer the knock
of an early caller—a member of her
Woman's (’lull. "You see I am wash
ing this morning." she explained as
she ran to change the water In the
washing machine. "We have an eler
trlc washing machine and It does all
tho hard work. We used water power
when we were on the farm and had'no
electricity. The fact is, I don’t believe
in being a martyr to the cause.” she
laughed. "The clothes look as well
with less wear and tear, and I have
leisure to enjoy life and make better
use of my time. The washing ma
chine Is the best investment we ever
made and heats the New England va
riety of thrift, under which my moth
er labored, all to pieces."
Thrift In time sometimes is confus
ed with the waste of time which Is the
worst of extravagance.
Magazines For Sailors
of Fleet on Mexic Coast
Washington.—To help tho sailors
and marines on duty along the Mexi
can coast to spend their spare mo
ments profitably the navy depart
ment was planning today to send
them magazines and other reading
matter. The plan was proposed by
a committee composed principally of
the wives of naval officers now in
Mexican waters. Mrs. Daniels, wife
of the secretary of the navy, and
Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of Assistant Sec
retary Franklin D. Roosevelt, algo
were members of this -committee.
DROVE SLEEP
FROM HER EYES
The Gem of American Verse
Was Written After Midnight
in Washington.
When the Army of the Potomac
was In camp, in the Old Domtuion dur
ing the mouth of December 1861 Jul
ia Ward Howe was a visitor at the
headquarters of General George G.
McClellan. Passing the entire day
among the soldiers this gifted woman
wag greatly Impressed by the fact
that the "boys in blue” were all stng
iug "John llrown's Body.”
Naturally this native of Boston
was greatly listrossed by the Inele
gant v ords of the song concerning
Old John Brown and while riding
about th camp she conceived the Idea
of giving this famous tune a new
Ivric. When she returned to the Na
tion’s eapltal that evening the new
lyric w.ig uppermost In her mind but
she decided to retire for the night and
pen the poem In the morning Rut
the thought of the song drove sleep
from her eyes, so aha arose and
wrote the gem of American verse
which bears her name
On her return to Boston a few
days later she submitted her poem to
James T. Fields, editor of The Atlan
tic Monthly. He suggested the title:
"The Rattle Hymn of The Republic ’
and under this title the verses were
published In the February number of
that magazine In 1862. Grander words
were never Incorporated In any bat
tle hymn. "The Hattie H>mn of ice
Republic” and all the other of favor
Res are In The Herald's collection of
Songs That Never Grow Old." Resd
