Your Uncle Seab Wright, in his an
nouncement for the United States sen
ate and as active, as was, oh well sev
eral years ago.
Tlie Giants pulled one of tffe big
gest surprises in baseball by the very
emphatic fashion in which they de
ftater the Yankees. Old man McGraw
has shown that he still an old master
at the game.
The allies are presenting a united
front at Mudania, according to the As
sociated Press. We hope so. If they
had done that every day and every
hour since the armistice, there would
have been no conference at Mudianna
and no reason for one.
That campaign of the Board of
Trade for new members ought to ap
peal strongly to the people of the
city. This splendid yrganization
should have not less than five hundred
active members. Join now and be hap
py later on.
Uncle Joe Cannon is thinking abejit.
writing the story of his life in cbn- ;
gress. We hope he does it. It would
make most interesting reading matter
and it would be ao valuable contri
buhion to the political history of tlie
country.
The several churches of the city,
Working (in compete hjarmpny and
understanding, are arranging for a
series of meetings in the city. Cer
tainly the plan is a wholesome one
and that it wiil have the active co
opt ration of the people of tlie city,
there is not the slightest doubt.
With projects now under way and
legally authorized, Brunswick is busy
on the job of expending three quarters
of a million dollars on broad plans
of betterment of the most modern
types. W e submit that this is mag
nificent testimonial to the character!
and to the sturdiness of the citizen
ship of tlie community.
We observe that Cuba is to nego- j
tiate a big foreign i an and that the
Cuban congress has passed the nec
essary act to 'auithorizs it. This
sfccrld t to stabilize the situation
in tlie island republic and incidentally 1
ought to aid in the work of receivng
the Cijlan commerce with tlie ports
of the United States.
The people of Jacksonvlle have
shewn the very best sort of spirit ir
connection with the sum plcdgc.i by
that city in connection with the build
ing of the Brunswick-Davfeu bridge.
They have assured the p; ople of
Brunswick that the obligation will be
discharged in full and that just as
promptly as possible. It was' the prop
er tiling to do and the fact is appre
ciated.
Judge Howard Ims withdrawn from
the Senatorial ratio and in doing
unless v.’.-' mistake the temper of tin-
Judge, ho lather takes a patring shot 1
at oiar.ie one! Gus Howard has be; n
mighty liberal in the past aiding his
friends politically and we v-ry much
hope that he lias not recently
tainod any wounds from sources
whc-rc he did not expect them.
Another step has been <.om.pleted in •
the matter f getting busy on ihe con-,
attraction of the St. Simon bridge. Tin -
War Departnu nt lim; given its appro ,
al to the. plan, wlth-h of course, was
jJcqcSKinry. ’ .-As we have 'said quite
.fi'e&uenfly, .since ti c primafy. We hope
there v;?iJ be no Markins time and
unnecessary red-tape in the matter.
Tlie improvement Is a great step for
ward ’and it ought to be put over rs
quickly as it can be done.
better homes for farmers
During the coming week will be
observed “Better Homes Demonstra
tion” week. The odservance is tto be
general throughout the country, or
rural sections as well as in cities and
towns. If is a national e vent, its ob
servance proclaimed and recommend
ed by govern: is of states and mayors
of municipalities.
Governor Hardwick, as have other
state executives, has called on the
people of Georgia to observe “Better
Homes Demonstrations” week, saying
that “the soul of a nation is in the j
homes of that nation,” and has recom
mended "that the people of Georgia bt
given to and that ev- i
cry family in the state seek on ap-:
portunity to see and study one of the !
model homes which is to be fitted up ;
by the public spirited citizens of the i
state, and open for inspection.”!
This indicates a practicable demon-!
strati.'n cf what “better homes”;
should be like. It indicates a need
for improvement of the. places in'
I which abide the men, women and
I children of this commonwealth and
of others.
Within recent years decided change
for betterment have been in evidence
in the farm home of this country.
Time was, and is yet. to some extent
when Urn farm owner, the designated
herd of the family, gave more atten
tion to the proper housing of his cat
tle and live stock generally thanto
his family. Commodious, attractive
barns were and are to be seen here
and there, while the dwellings occu
pied by the members of the farm fami
nes Were and are little better than
hovels, at least not fit places for hu
man habitation.
If the structural improvements were
made on the farm the barn and other
I outbuildings received attention first,
land then, the house, the home, came
in for remodeling or repairs, for ad
/ tied conveniences and furnishings. To
j some extent this line of procedure has
j been reversed, due, very likely, to the
assertiveness of the hitherto patient
and forebearing farm housewife, equal
I partner, at least, in whatever is con
I iuetive to right living on the farm.
The result is that improved, modern
ized farm hemes are more in evidence
as is commendable.
Farm homes are just as much en
titled to be Bettor Homes as are
these in the town or city. Many aids
are being offered to make them such.
The federal government, through its
agricultural department and, particu
ifcry, offers valuable assistance for
farm home improvements. Alert mer
chants constantly advertise for sale
the tilings and appliances that are
made, and offered l'or sale, t:. promote
farm home conviences and comforts.
The newspapers give much of valu
able spave to telling of farm home
betterments. These and other agen
cies need to bp accepted and turned
to good account in order that benefits
may be derived, and at no consider
able cutlay of money.
FOUR RICH MEN
Income tax returns are Govern
ment secrets, but every year tlie in
ternal Revenue Bureau tickles pub
lic curiosity by issuing figures which
allow a guess at the income of the
richest men in '-the (Uhijited Sifcatets
and, indeed, a. guess at the identity
of the men.
Washington tells us that in 1920
7,:ar Americans had taxable incomes
in excess of $5,000,000 and that two
of them lived in Nov; York State an:’
two ir. Michigan. The tax paid by
he two New Yorker was cn a .total
income cf $16,403,6-!?. Guossers ini
mediately concluded that elder Mr.
Rockefeller was on. of the two, Yu
.-Hedy knows except a few Govern
• it officials and their lips ars thorc
.'••ally sealed.
Whoa Washington says that two
' Her igan men paid taxes on. incomes
f I ailing :R3,156.fi1l every gnesm?
c ide; that or.c of the Michiganders
the flivver wlzzard. Henry Ford. His
roy al’lion in woe may be some other
motor magnate, <or Michigan is full
;f them.
These payers of huge taxes may
have incomes far greater than Ur
revenue figures indi ate -incomes
from r.;>n-taxab!e securities. But, even
if it wer,* assumed that any ne Amer
ican had a yea: ly income of $50,000,
OU, what would it mean?
Only that a great tide of profit flows
to one point and flows out again. ;
would he a good bat that net one r.(
Ihe four nu n credited with iuc me?, cf
more than $5,000,0 )0 a year rats mrt
than thro; meals or smokes more then
50 cents worth of tobacco in a day
It would be a good bet that none cf
them spends more than a thousand
dollars a year : n clothing; that none
of them and. votes as much money to
amusement as the average SIO,OOO a
. ear man.
“Thevigct it in.banks andythiey keep
it/’• .‘fays the • unthinking' wait who
envies' the big taxpayers. The Bay
of Fundy gets water “in hunlce” but
it doesn't keep if. And in the some
way all great tides of wealth flat
tack to the sea of business. Mr.
Rockefeller's profits go into more oil
production, but he burns no more gas
oline than a man who makes a S6O a
week. Mr. Ford’s profits go into auto
mobile production, but he can ride in
only one car at a time. The Astor
wealth goes into more housed, but Mr.
Aster can’t live in more than two or
three.
After all, the wealth of the few men
who pay huge income taxes is only
a fraction of the general wealth of
this country. No individual has ac
quired a billion dollars, but the wealth
of the United States is three hundred
billions. ' And in the process of pilling
up that huge wealth —so great that all
the gold that has been mined since
1492 would not pay for one-tenth of
it—no individual has accumulated a
fortune so large that in two or'three
generations after his death it has not
hcen broken to pieces.
BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER IS
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
A few days ago we called attention
tc a very interesting statement is
; ued by the National Bankers Associa
tion in session in New York, in which
ail era of unprecedented prosperity
was heralded, as being very near at
hand.
Then the Federal Reserve System
gave out a mest cheerful interview
in which it was pointed out that the
banking situation in the country
was in better shape, as a whole, than
at any time since the world war.
Coming on top of all this, it a state
ment by Hendy Clews, dean of the
Street as he is called in New York
who thinks the whole business out
lock is growing brighter every day
and whs believes that a general busi
ness revival is just ahead of us.
In his statement which was issued
Saturday', Mr. Ciows says:
j “Further upward movement in com
modity prices has accompanied in-
I creasing retail and wholesale demand
; for goods during the past week o;
; ten days, and as reflected the general
; activity of demand all over tile coun
it ry. The Federal Resehve Board re
j ports unemployment greatly reduced
i and in some lines a shortage of labor
! - —a view fully borne out in many
j quarters by the developments of the
ipast few weeks, especially in steel
j and other staple manufacturing in
i Justifies. On the railways, tlie move
iment of freight has been pretty well
|up towards capacity for practically
| all lines. Coal and farm products
; have been the bulk of thd traffic, but
i other goods have been able to move
in considerable quantity. The distri
bution of steel is proceeding better
than ho.fi been anticipated, and most
manufacturing plants have been able
all the coal they need. The same has
been true of public utility enterprises,
and while the consumer is not well
supplied, there is now little reason
to doubt that his necessities will be
met fioni time to time fcy furnishing
j current supplies of fuel. There has
i been a remarkable continuance of the
| building boom, which, it is estimated.
! has resulted in an increase of about
50 par cent ii the quantity of copper
used in coir .ruction enterprises. Stee
plants cc inue to enlarge the propor
tion of ideir works that are actively
engaged in production and estimates
represents th f U. S. Steel Corporation
as having about 75 per cent of its
plant now fully in operation.
While the industrial machinery of
the country is thus being “speeded up”
the fact that the strike is far from be
;ng without effect is now pretty gene:
illy demonstrated. It appears to some
xtent in the shewing made by Indus
rial concerns for the month of August
nd. so far as made known for the
arly part of September as well. Rail
oad earnings, however, show it most
plainly in August figures, where the
xpenses are now known tc have bee::
very’ matedially increased. However
ho reads hnv : done better than ha;,
been expected and the agreement Si; r
and during the part weak between the
hopmen and a considerable numb ;
I leading roads embody in written
form the fact that the strike was, or
the whole, a failure from the stand
point of the employes. This fact tends
to confirm the belief that there will
be a period of quiet on tlie railroad
'as.fag for an IndenSnlta period and
'ikely t b f broken only when th
is a decidedly new showing with tc
g.ard to the prospects of sue os-; in t
'noiir contest. Meanwhile, the coming
.hree months will be on? of the hen
Ys't periods in •Transportation that
ihe country has ever known while the
' s will lie one o:i a fair margin,
at least, of profit.

IF lies ACT
i BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign yon have bees
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.
_ -
When you Wi'-? up with backache and
dull misery in the 1 idr.ey region it gen
erally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bow r els; re
moving all the body’s urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomacli sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
tiie night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
aud lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent lithia-water drink.
