THE FRANKLIN PRESS Page Threa Filthy, HovemUer 21, 1324. v a CLUB NOTES Conducted by the Womans' Club , Motto: For the Public Good. Officer: President Mrs. John Arrendale. Vice-Pres. Mrs. J. Q. Wallace. Cor. Sec Mrs. Jess Conley. Treas. & Sec Mrs. Tom Johnston, It is not too early to begin plan ning to take a new member to the J'areiit-Teacrer Association, which meets at the school house on the first Friday in December. At the last meeting we had a better attendance than usual. Let's double the number at the. next meeting. The purpose of this Association is to bring the parents and the teachers into closer relationship. Co-operation between the home and the school is greatly to be desired, and if we, as patrons of the school do not give this , co-operation wholeheartedly,: we can not expect the greatest resultsfrom the school. ' The home and the school are the two great agencies in the education of the child. Their ?ims are the same. Neither can work effectively in ig norance of the other. Let every mother be on time. AH' arc welcome, whether members or not. ' Basket Ball Gaines. Franklin defeated Sylva in the fastest game of the season by a score of 22 to 16. Both teams played hard but the visitors could not advance the ball beyond the middle of the court. The first half ended 11 to 9 in favor of the visitors but the locals staged a comeback in the second half and rushed their heavier opponents off their feet and turned in a well earned victory. The entire Franklin team starred but the work of Crawford at forward and of Sherrill and Henry as guards was outstanding.

On election day I Was asked by a leading member of each political par ty to write an article for the Press urging the repeal of the Absentee Voters Law.. On that day and others I have heard this law condemned repeatedly, and I have not heard a single voice raised in its defense. The best citizens seem pretty much agreed that this law permits those who have more politics than character to send in illegal votes. As these votes' are likely to be provided by agents of of the more dishonorable candidates, the law may if not repealed, some times cause the defeat of the candi date preferred by aViajority of our voters. While there would be a meas ure of good in such a law properly observed, the public judgment seems to be that this law gives opportunity for scandal and corruption and so does more harm than good. It would not seem necessary to make a long argument against the retention of this law on the books for public opinion seems to be defi nitely .established. . But. ' fellow citken, your opinion is not likely to affect our new representative unless you speak to him or write him what you wish. We have in Macon County at least one political worker who says that when a man goes into politics COHE TO THINK OF IT- WHY is it that the most suc . cessful merchants in the world are the biggest ad vertisers? I WONDER if they are all " v fools, and I am the only wise bird! CAN it be that in the great business parade every body's out of step but MAYBE I'd better think it over! Reflections of a Local Storekeeper ' s E he must cut loose from his religion. Men of this type are pretty certain to ask Mr. Horn not to have the Ab sentee Voters Law repealed. I wish that citizens who agree with us on this question would write to Mr. Horn and ask him to do all in his power to have this law. erased from the statute books. If we keep this law some day some crooked politician's work will be investigated by the courts and a reproach will be rought. against the fair name of our county RAY N. MOSES. More Cattle Tested f or T. B. During August H61.186 cattle were tested for tuberculosis by the Bureau of Animal Industry in co-operation with the various States. Of this number 13,780, or about 3 per ccnt.re acted to the best, indicating that they were infected. Workers for the erad iation of bovine tuberculosis now have more than 8,000,OAO cattle under' their supervision. Ellijay Congratulates It3eit. If we had won some blue ribbons. at an auric ultural fair, there would be v -o T " - considerable talk about tne mauer. but sometimes the more noteworthy things go ' unmentioned. We are proud of the fine way in which the people of Ellijay conducted mem oWtinn da v. There was nothing in the nature of drunk and disorderly conduct, lne citizens met in a quiet spirit of friendship and voted for the men and measures which they considered best. I do not believe that an unfair or illegal. vote was counted ! - When this much can be said, do we not have a right to consider ourselves a higher type of .citizens than any who may allow corrupt men and methods to control their choice-of officers? . Perhaps no one voter secured all the results which he wished from the ! election. But when they all are al lowed to vote in a fair, legal manner, we can afford to accept the result cheerfully. The spirit of democracy is satisfied. . RAY N. MOSES. 1 BAPTIST CHURCH ENLISTMENT MEETING "That Crushed Tube Will Stop The Lantern's Breath! Better Get A New Lantern, Bill!" BILL didn't know that the tubes of his Dietz Lantern are rca ly windpipes' through which the flame breathci In Wessary oxygen r u oir miirlN)s do human lungs.

Dip Apples in Solution To Prevent Rotting ' An Indiana man claims to have dis rnvprprl a method .of. keening apples in storage throughout the winter with out any rotting taking place. m method is to dfp.thc applesjust before putting in'storage, in a fungicide. This fungicide may either be lime-sulphur or bluestoiie. DNolve 4 pounds bluestone in 50 gallons watr. or put 2 gallons of C-' ' . 4 I f l . . .. I concentrated lime-suipnur in si gal lons water, and dip the apples in one of these solutions. Accordinar to this man, dipping tne apples kills rot spores, thus insuring the prevention or rotting m storage. He says that after dippmg the apples and they dry off, a thin film of the fungiiide is left on them, thus making it prastically impossible for rot spore1 to enter. wtMlf tliia nipthod mav not be practicable on a large scale ye- it might very well lie practiced on a small scale where apple; are being stored for home use. At any rate, i: is probably worth while to try it, we shall be glad to hear from them re garding results later on. Progres sive Farmer. 1 Land Deed, Mortgage Deedi and Chattel MortiraM tor tale a The Nowhere 'did Abraham Lincoln show his shrewdness of judgment better than in that fa mous utterance which ended, "You cant fool all the people all the time" ( In the past, there were a few misguided ad vertisers who thought they could, sell their wares better by misrepresentation. But those adver tisers have long since gone out of business or mended their ways. Hard experience taught that Lincoln was right. Untruthful advertising doesn't pay. x . Other advertisers proved that the only way to advertise successfully, make regular custo mers and build up.piiblic good-will was to tell the absolute truth about their goods. So, you can be sure that every consistently advertised product is good. The advertising test has proved it. The very fact that it is advertised is vour best warranty of satisfaction and true quality. The concern that tells you frankly what it is doing is a good concern with which to do busi ness. ' That is why it pays to read the advertise ments, to patronize advertisers, and to buy ad- rtised merchandise. 1 7f IT'S MIGHTT'GOOD business Presi office. I
