POLK COUNTY NEWS Mushed Weekly by Tie News Wsieog Cwpany H. A. SHANNON, Editor. One Year Six Month* Throe Month# display advertising rate Forty Cents Per Column Inch, Flat Legal Advertising, One cent Per \Vord Cash In Advance USING THE SCHOOL HOUSE lii mauy country communities it is becoming more and more the cus tom to make use of school buildings for a variety of helpful purposes, in addition to that for which they are primarily intended. Where no other building is available the school house affords a con venient place for pleasant and profitable gatherings, such as men's and women's clubs, boys' and girls' clubs, debating societies, singings, public speakings, entertainments and the like. While practically every school house is utilized for some of these purposes in many communities a complete winter program is planned, so as to make it a regular social center around which all the neighborhood activities revolve. ' This tends to foster a spirit of co.operation and neighborliness, which is extremely beneficial. With the advent of radio, these gatherings may have music and other features of broadcast program^ to enliven the evening, at little expense. By systematically using these means so readily at hand, the country school house may greatly contribute to the attractiveness and enrichment of rural life. x A movement has been startefl to send general Pershing to the Unit ed States Senate, and doubtless the general knows where to send that fellow who started it. t taking toll The people of America lost $11)0,000,000 by investing with bucket shop brokerage firms that failed in New, York during the p?i.at three years. Less than twenty-five per cent of this huge amount will ever be recovered, reports the New York World after an extensive survey. Think of this huge amount lost to. the people of the country ? lost to those who have worked hard and saved over a period of years. All the crooks in the history of the Bowery could never drain such a vast sum from the pockets of the hard working, money saving class of Americans. It is in truth a serious problem, but its remedy lies entirely with thq in dividual man or woman. Think of the hundreds of thousands who have lost the savings of many years in wildcat investments, speculative promotions. We hear lit tle from the losers. The man who has made a fool investment, does not go about advertising his folly. But these figures coming out of New York ?how that uuwise investors exist in grea^ numbers in our country, our state and ngfct here in Polk County. And why do they do it? Is it that inbred human desire to take a chance ? to gamble. People will stand before rouelette wheels and foolish ly throw away thousands of dollars, when they know that the chances are against them. No gambliug machine wa8 ever made to profit anyone but its owner. vner. And we might say the same of most speculative investments. If you want to invest and be sure of interest and principal both, go to your banker here at home and talk things over. He is in a position to give you good advice. And if you want to gamble with your surplus, gamble by expanding your own business. You may even lose then, but of this much you may be sjure. You will not lose. through the crookedness of anothe^. THE ANSWER TO "WHAT NEXT?' With college -courses sent out by radio, photographs by telegraph and cable, talking movies by the "phonofilm," mail by airplane, food by cap sules, the oft repeated query is "what next?" The answer to this question is a general one to be sure, but it can be answered by asserting that almost anything and everything will be "next"' that human ingenuity can conceive and that human skill can work out. As youths we read Jules Verne as fancy. Tbday we accept his romance as facts. In truth his works already are obsolete. Books on science, medicine, art, law, engineering and business methods become Par_ tially useless before the editions have been distributed. It is scarcely to be wondered that styles, customs and habits chafige with the passing age. Rather is it to be wondered that the common run of people retain their solid virtues and innate principles and standards of fel lowship as they do. What next? A nobler conception of life and morality and a finer standard of government and citizenship. If we are wrong in this predic tion we are at least at right in refraining from making an opposite one. FORD BUILT A FORTUNE ON JOKES AT HIS EXPENSE Every Tbm, Dick, and Harry has heard hundreds of jokes in which the festfve tin lizzie played an important role. Ford furthered those jokes collected them and had them broadcast throughout the coun ry. Some sta istician has figured that every joke figuring a Ford has sold ten cars. Maybe its true. But the jokester's are at work on the Lake Lanier development. Some individual has started a rumor that, there is an underground passage from Vaughn's Creek through the earth which will empty the impounded waters of the lake as rapidly as it collects. / Uh huh!!! Another wise owl points out the fact that the hills on which the pro perty is located consist of a metallic deposit which particularly attracts lightning and that every new , structure on the premises is destined to be ^stroyed by a thunder-bolt. Uh huh! And now to cap the climax, the jokesters allege that 1. j. p. the dimi nutive and Napoleonic publicity expert who draws his salary for painting word pictures of Lake Lanier, has purchased an imj>orted limousine with sixteen cylinders.
