What Memorial for our Soldiers? ' VVhat is -going' to be our form of me morial for the soldiers in this war? In the main it has got to be in the kind of lives wo lead. They have given the flower of their life, looking to us for the fulfillment which will, never come unless we embody it. It seems that the best thing we can do in* the- way ?>f a visible, symbol of our consecration will be something that shall express the ideal of human ser* rice for ;w|ik*h they died. The soldiers' monument through which we strove to honor Un*' soldiers of our last great war are better than nothing, unsuccessful as most of them are from an urtistio point of vie,w ? monuments to * the unknown god of beauty as well as to tha spirit of the men who gave their lives for freedom ? but cannot we find something more appropriate? Would not a community building of. some kind, which should serve as a cen ter of community service and expression Ito a fitting memorial of the soldiers in this present war? it in a war for democracy and as the- American City magazine has said, democracy should have a home. The building in a small town might he the town hall itself or an adjunct to it, "Of course we cannot all suddenly build new town halls, but we could, when the occasion comes for rebuilding or through supplementing what we already have, provide a place in each smaller community, and several places in the larger ones, where people can come tod ?, pether for all sorts of public purposes, community songs, dances, concerts, lec tures, public service by groups of citi zens such as we have seen in working for the Red Cross. In large cities like our own these buildings might be the larger of the new school houses in each district. Such n memorial would fitly commem orate our t^oldiers by serving as an in strument for the continuance of that enhanced spirit of public service which has .been to u? the one great compen sating gift of the war. Joseph Lee, I'res. War Camp Community Service. We pay cash for railway fares and freights, for street car fares, for theatre tickets, for |K>stage .stamps, for express charges and many big corporation* are rapidly going? a stiictly hmda. This is an opportune time t-> adopt the "cash over the counter" basis, and the Hooner the better for vis all. Grcfjor.v, Attorney Gen LteU States ?ince 1011, ; .. S aii Btlftilte## (hi 4'nsh '' <. t ? ??ml In comntrciil circle* U rapidly leading to a caah bails is every line of commercial punmlt*. The war has demonstrated the neceitaity of aucb a system and now that It ii being In* t reduced In practically all line*, it 1* not Relieved that the old-time ? u <lit system will fftp return In this aection of the ?.mntry. The Atlanta Chamber of i'<om merer ban recently tatai) up the matter with the WinrhH men of Atlanta, and the sug nation ban struck a popular chord in tbut city. lion. Fuller K. Callaway, | <>ue of the state's moat auoceavful busi ness men, In speaking before the mem bers of the chamber of commerce in A i h.uta, said in part; "Those who are expecting to return to the old tim<> conditions and mcthoda after the war are nursing a dangerous illusion an the operation* of business will never l?' UH they were again. "Under the imperative necessity, we have been made over, and it is a differ ent nation? a far more forcefu) and efficient people ? which today considers with satisfaction' the beginning of the end of the mighty' struggle for the prea ervation of liberties. "I will not atteiupt a discussion of' all tin- changes and ramifications brought about by the great world war. I will only refer to one vital change which it has made iu u? an a people. It Is that we have been made a great deal more efficient. \Yc bftvo come to know the sinfulness of waste of eithet time or material*. We have already thrown into the di Board mauy antiquated, cum bersome and wasteful methods which impeded our progreas like barnacle* on a ship." The noundneHH of the position of Mr. Callnway will be recognized by every safe and conservative business tnan as being timely nnd wise. Times hare changed and we may expect new con dltiona and new system* In the opera tion of our great corporations as well as- with the smaller boainesH concern*. It is of much importance to a small business as it in to the largest to oper ate on a cash basis. Everyone would be better for it, and if lived up to by the merchants, both consumer ami the merchant would be better -for it. Cash basis on everything will prove a bletisinic to the I'ountry, nnd will be the most important agency for teaching economy. People will buy less, but what they do buy will -be paid for and the merchant will either have the money for his goods or else be will have bin stock to rep resent his investment. Time-worn sys tems and customs must !><? relegate-1 nnd new and- modern systems adopted in this country If we are to be prosperous and independent in our manner of living and conducting our business affairs. The sooner our people .realize its im|>ortancc. the better we will be for it. --Athens . ~ - ... Opposes Ax-Grinding. Kvery publisher who has been invited I to "roast" .Homebody or something thru liis columns will road with pleasure! the following from the Sentinel of Friend, Neb.: "A newspaper must not be expected t<> light personal battles for subscribers, lis influence must be used for t ho poo' pie a? a whole. Every week some of our friends ask us to 'make somebody do something'. Of course we feel com plimented when we hear that a subscrib er feels that tin* paper is an important factor in the community. Iiut as to making anybody tip things you have got this w rong idea, brother. If we were to take every complaint that comes to our nulieu editing tin* K*-ntfnW would be too warm a job for lis. Here are ?.?nVe of the lute tjficstions: 'We wish jou Would go after the stores because they j stay open so late Saturday night. v 'We wish you would go after the city coun cil because the streets nr<i riot sprinkled more frequently.' 'Why don't you say something about the people who run their cars in the city with the cut-out open'? 'Why isn't the speed ordinance enforced?' Why don't you expose poker games?' 'Why do nearby towns pay more for grain than Friend?' 'Why don't Ko-and-sn go to war?' Why, we could do on until this column is full. All these are mentioned kindly in an effort to side-track some of them. Of course we know that many of them are asked In a joking manner but many people an- 111 earnest and become angry when tb<^ papers appear without a word "aid T>7 their omiplaint.
