HOW many friends have you really got. yea, how

tell Just who la, or not, and how does real
friendship grow?
A fellow will claim he's a friend of yours and his
greeting for you la a amtle. He feels that that one
little thing assures that he is a friend worth while.
You only may see him when things are okeh and
you carry no troubles to sift,' But supposin' things
change on the very next day; Is he ready to give you
a lift?
Expressions of sympathy; loans, now and then,
will often give folks a new start. A friend seta you

The answer to friendship Is simple, at beat; It's
something that's easy to sum. I'll hang to the fel

OLD TIMES HAVE RETURNED.
SATURDAY brought to mind old times In busi
ness in Augusta. People were here from all
surrounding sections and the merchants en-
Jpgol an unusual trade. Cotton Is rolling in and
every farmer seems to *be imbued with the spirit of
better times. It is a general Awakening of commer
cial conditions and the period of depression has
passed. While the crops thlf year will not be nor
mal, they are far greater than any during the past
few years and our people are profiting thereby. An
other reasonable crop will place this section of the
country on R normal basis and restore confidence
and bring stability to all lines of commercial indus
tries.
Our people have lived through the most trying
times since the civil war, but they have worked and
economized and now a brighter day ts near and proa
perlty Is dawning. Foodstuff has been grown In
abundance and the cotton crop will average over
fifty per cent normal to the acreage which Is bound
to relieve In a. great measure the depression and com
mence the circulation of money freely throughout the
section.
Trade in ail lines of business showed a marked
Improvement over recent Saturdays which Indicates
that our people are recovering from their misfortunes
and that they will soon he on a sound and substan
tial basis.
IF THE PRINCE CAME SOUTH
DOUBTLESS the outstanding impression to be
carried a way by David Windsor, the Prince of i
Wales, la the ill manners of the people of Long I
Island. His plea for a little freedom and liberty of |
action—the kamt that any man would dealre—and
tha utter disregard of it by nmbitlous mothers and
the ‘'exclusive" social arrivals and climbers, to say
nothing of the other simple minded creatures who
haunt hla every movement reminds one of the curi
ous eyes of the poor savage watching and following
every movement of a civilized man.
Any thinking person will sympathize with him In
objecting to the overdose of curious watching he Is
being subjected to. Hut that la the price even royal
ty muat pay when It errs in selecting associates and
locations.
Here In the southeast, where the Prince woufd find
that his wish for privacy would be respected and he
would be treated as a gentleman among gentlemen, a
real welcome awaits him. He would find that he.
could go about whatever personal routine he desired
without fear that most of the populare would be con
stantly craning Ha necks over hedges and from
around corners and trees.
Coming South while president, William H. Taft
let It be known that hi* visit here was made because
he knew the Southern public would, at his request,
leave him alone. In every Instance Ms wishes, as
were those of the late President Wnrren G. Harding,
respected. It was to the South, where people attend
to their own business nnd respect the rights of oth
ers, thst President Harding cams for a rest.
Judging from the dally dispatches, the way In
which the Easterners are rushing the Prince Is re
pulslv* to all Americans who realise Ihe worth Of
manners and ths valuo of gelf-reapect. Not only
would the Prince and his party find that Southerners
have and practlcs good manners, but hs would find
that other conditions In ths South sre such as would
hs pnrsuasiv# to a longer sojourn In this country.
To enjoy tlie hospitality of ths South and Pixie's
gnnny other priceless treasurers would doubtless
change his opinion of Americans.
CITY DOOMED, SAYS FORD
THE modern city has dona Its work. The city ,
has taught ua much. But the overhead expense
of living In auch place* it becoming. unbeat
able. Thq cost of maintaining Interest on debts, of
keeping up water supply, sewerage and sanitary
systems, the rost of traffic control and of policing
great tnnsaea of people are so great as to offset ths
benefits of the city.
This le Henry Ford's ides, expressed In an Inter
view In Automotive Industries Magazine.
Ford says he believes thst sharp competition will
compel Industries to mova out Into small communi
ties. Overhead coats and living expenses would be
lower there. ,
Some years back, Ford advanced the Idea of es
tablishing factories in rural districts where farmers
could work In their dull seasons of the year. Grow
ing moot of hts own food, each industrial producer
under this system would also be hts own boss part ot
the time.
A handicap to this system would be If Industries
owned the farm-homes snd supervised them ruth
lessly. as Is now done with homes and gardens In
many mining towns.
Today tha big city Is an tnduatrial center. Ford
predlcta a time when the Industrial center will be a
chain of small towns, each with Its factories and
mitts, farms nearby.
Ford does not seem to reckon with the part the air
plane may play In breaking up the big cities. If
planes get safe, fool-proof and as Inexpensive se *u
-1o flivver*, father could live far out In the coqptry
or even In tha woods and fly hundred* of miles to
and from work In the city.
The city would no longer be a residential district
on any big acal*. It would Have factories, mill*,
stores and theatres.
With alrptsnes cheap and fast, and radio bringing
movlea and mualc and new* to the far-off home, the
problem of city congestion would he easily solved.
Th* public, however, might object to isolation—
even In groups of families. City dwellera are re

Latin America Against
European Interference
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
WASHINGTON.—Not all Latin
Americans—probably not" a ma
jority—look with very friendly eyes
on the Monroe Doctrine.
True, it implies the powerful pro
tection of the United States. In a
way this is all righ£ and appre
ciated. Yet the very suggestion
that she feels they need her protec
tion savors—or so it seems to Latin
Americans—of patronage on the
greater republic's part.
Nevertheless, put to the test, the
Latin American governments have
let it be known that they are a unit
against European Interference of
their affairs. Left to themselves,
the principle embodied in the Mon
roe Doctrine is the principle on
Which they agree.
The question came up during the
earlier and more threatening days
of the still-pending rebellion in
southern Brazil.
Several European powers, notab
ly Portugal, Italy and Great Bri
tain. have large interests in and
around Sao I’aulo, where the fight
ing. Home of their diplomatic
representatives in Rio de Janeiro,
the capital, favored intervention by
their governments to put down the
revolt.
Americans In Shanghai
Face Little Danger
By CHARLES P. STEWART
WASHINGTON--While there Is
no disposition among either State
or Navy Department officials to
neglect precautions for the protec
tion of American lives and proper
ty in the vicinity of Shanghai,
China, those who are familiar with
conditions there feel no anxiety
eoncernlng the safety of the for
eign city of Shanghai.
This Is not to say that foreigners
may not suffer property losses In
the outlying districts it fighting
breaks out between the forces of
the northern and southern Chinese.
That foreigners’ lives will be en
dangered anywhere, however, ex
cept possibly through accident, is
considered very unlikely.
Irresponsible blgrands might not
be so safe to trust, but the forces
whleh are threatening now to clash
are regularly organized armies and
their leaders are perfectly atonie
that they would defeat their own
ends by permitting violence to
Americans or Europeans, since the
offending side would find foreign
troops aligned ngninst It, as an im
mediate sequel to any such de
velopment.
The foreign rlty of Shanghai Is a
compact settlement, strongly polic
ed and further protected by the In
ternational Volunteers, a body of
several thousand, well drilled and
heavily armed.
In addition to this, the city Is di
rectly under the guns of several
American, British and Japanese

They were not given time to
make any formal proposals to this
effect. As soon as they heard there
was a probability of such a move,
the of all the other Latin
American republics accredited to
Brazil met, talked the matter over,
and then served notice that every
Latin country of the New World
would do all in its power to help
the Brazilians resist European med
dling.
It was done diplomatically but un
mistakably. The Europeans
couldn't afford to antagonize all
Latin America. The Idea of inter
vention was quickly dropped.
Not all the Latin American coun
tries are particularly friendly to
Brazil, but all the friendly enough
to lend her their aid against pres
sure from abroad.

ed Washington. Among officials it
is warmly Indorsed.
As a demonstration of the basic
solidarity which exists among the
governments of the south, it Is be

fect, not only in Europe, but ns sig
nificant of the underlying friendli
ness of the republics among them
selves.
I cruisers, kept always in the
i Whangpoo River directly off the

These vessels, though mostly ob
solete from a naval experts’ stand
point, are equal, any onft of them,
to dealing with the entire Chinese
navy or to holding back almost any
number of Chinese, on the land
side, within range of their batteries
The native city, while directly
adjoining the foreign settlement,
nevertheless is quite distinct from
it and fighting might go on there
without peril to the ‘'settlement."
If artillery were used there would
perhaps be danger from chance
shots across the line, but the native
city wail would be sufficient to
protect foreigners, who kept out
side, from small arms fire, and the
Chinese commanders, if they do
employ heavier guns, unquestion
ably will be careful to avoid point
ing them in the "settlement's" di
rection.
In fact, there have been consider
able battles In the native city in the
past without disturbing the tran
quility of life outside the walls.

ONE of the most Interesting
occasions at the White House
in recent months got notice
only in the society columns of
Washington papers.
This was the over-Sunday visit,
Sept. 12, of former Governor
Frank O. Lowden of Illinois.
On the face of it, and so 'far as
any publicity about it went, the
Lowden visit was purely a socitil
one. Yet it is hard to imagine
either Lowden or Coolidge week
ending together from sheer social
regard for each other. Particu

honor of second place on the
ticket with Coolidge. j

Perfect Ball

Frank Joseph Stolitzka of Mas
sillion, 0., after years of untiring
effort, has suceeded in spinning a
perfect ball of aluminum, for use in
the making of toy balloons. Here
tofore balloons have been made on
painted wooden balls and the least

away with the defects. Stolitzka
made chandeliers in Vienna before
he came to America. Over here he

Looking at the calendar, Mr.
Mann realized that the fall season
was fast slipping in upon Any
town.
Leaves had beguq to brown and

By way of anti-climax to this
pastoral scene. Mr. Mann sneezed.
It brought suddenly to his realiza
tion that with fall comes the sea
son when he was most susceptible
to colds.
In many the susceptibility to
colds is caused by abnormalities
in the nose and throat. Nasal ob
sruction is a very common condi
tion.
Frequently they come from ade
noids in youth. Such conditions not
only predispose to colds, but open
the possibility of infection of the
hone cavities.
For this reason they should he

All who suffer from recurrent
colds should ake the precaution of
having nasal troubls attended to
before the winter sets in.

pretty waitress. In the following
year "she purchased 1 two new suits
a week—lo 4in the year. This comes
out at the divorce hearing.
Apparently this bride gratified a
long suppressed desire for fine
feathers. We all have some such
desire. But few are ever able to
gratify the yearning, as did this ex.
waitress. She was -Cinderella,
though only for a year. Now she
has the memories—and the ■gowns.
Uncle Sam estimates that, in the
last five years, the average farmer
made a net profit, fen his invest
ment of capital, of a bit less than
3 per cent, a year. “Even tWs
meager showing was only made by
valuing the labor of farm opera
tors and their families at no move
than the current rate for common
labor.”
' This low profit rate was the re
sult of several things, principal bp-'
ing over-production of food. For
years this country harped; “Back
to the farm!” Scientific agricul
ture, by inevreasing crops, has
more than made up the shortage bf
rural man-power.
Among other things, many farm
ers are the victims of land specula
tion—trying to earn a fair rate of
profit on land bought at too high
prices during post-war speculation.
Industry did the same, only on a
gigantic scale. Most businesses in
flated their capitalization, by stock
dividends chiefly, to dodge the tax
collector. They’ve been trying to
earn the old-time rate of return
on more capitalization than they
are economically entitled to.
Inflated prices have been reduced
considerably. There'll he more re
duction. by waves or cycles, as the
years sll.l by.
The next major movement or
cycle in industry will be deflation
of capitalization. Already it's be
coming necessary and unavoidable.
Many industries have eeen the
light and acted.
A business that valued itself at
$200,000 in the boom, but worth
only SIOO,OOO now, is not going to
be able to earn on the hgh basis
during sharp competition.
