NAN HERE
Ben R. Vardaman, Director of
"The Greater Business and Com-
munity Institute," spent four days
In the city of Albany this week.
He delivered from two to three
lectures each day—To say that
Ben R. Vardaman is an expert in
his line does not express it at all.
He's a man with a national rep-
utation, having delivered his fa-
mous lectures in hundreds of cit-
ies throughout the nation - Has
been called to play return dates
in many American cities — San
Francisco five times, Portland,
Oregon, seven times, lies Moines
iowa, foilv times, evidencing the
fact that he has a mesage for th<-
city that wants to prow His lee
tuie on The Master Salesman was
indeed a classic Hi- t:11 k at

THE FAMILY COW
You know, those of you at least who read the Albany News know,
that we have a hobby, and God Almighty have mercy on the man
who is void of some kind of a hobby There's a saying, oh he's a
crank, and let it pass at that -Well, a hobby, coupled onto a crank
is what keeps the world going. Now of course there are different
kinds of cranks, political cranks, religious cranks, socialist ( ranks,
society cranks, and we have the golf cranks in recent times Hut
get this folks, ours has ever been that of an industrial crank The
Hen, the Sow and the Cow, and crank either one of tin— and you
have started an industrial movement that will pa\ dividend- 'lie

SOI MORE FAMILY COWS
Talking with Commissioner J. 0. Gordon this week about the Jer-
sey cow, her value etc. Yes, have cow on the brains—A cow crank,
you know you can't do anything on earth without a crank, takes a
crank to draw the water out of a well, takes a crank to start an
old fashioned jitney, and even the new modern auto carries along
i crank in case the self starter goes on the rocks — A ship needs a
crank, so does a steam engine, and an airplane A town needs a
crank, a mercantile establishment needs a crank, and so does a

line It don't matter how poor folks are, they can at least bo
have dean bodies and clean clothes, and though the clothe* may
ragged, yet, if they are clean, they attract attention—8anie
about homes, whether it be a castle or a hovel, it can bo

For instance, we were driving along the other day, kinder h
th. town over, and we came to a little two room (hack, we call
a shack, yon know all oil tow;n.s have many of them, two ro
shacks, built for emergency occupancy. /Well, that's one shack
caught our . yes. I'll declare to you, that was the cleanest place
v.- have ever seen So this clean picture got our attention ri|
now. got out of our car and walked up and knocked on the do

at ho in i - Y -, the door mat was clean, the door steps were

;n what you would call rag town, but it's like a great big floWe
pot in a des. rt place ('ban, clean and tidy. It's true that

ing of being poor, one fellow said to us, Dick we can't build a city
hall, we are not able to finance a hospital, and we sure are not
bale to pave our streets. Well, anyhow, we can be clean. And
talking about paved streets, hospitals and city halls—Not
for it, etc. Well, that's what they said up there in New oYrk V
back yonder when America was young—They said that they did
need a city hall, and the first paving project was stopped by an tor"'
junction suit Not able, can't be done—That's what folks said a'
back yonder several years ago when Lake Diller was dry as a d

somebody dreamed another dream and a five hundred thouaand

going to taki our land away from us? We said no, just getting^Ott*
in shape to ke.-p and enjoy it Well, we voted the bond issue of
five hundred thousand dollars, and that wasn't enough, so we voted
three hundred thousand more, and a great system of hard surfaced
roads loom Say boy, would you take your bond money back and
tear up the roads and go back to cow trails and muddy roads eh?
No, no. the men who opposed it, are now our boosters for hard sur .
faced highways And say boy, that hospital is going to be bnilt,
so is that city hall, and paved streets are coming, and when we gft
'em. there will h. no sore spots Hut in the mean time folks, lefe
have a clean Albany, that will pave the road for all things needful
and tjike it from us, Albany is going to wear a clean frock, may b* ,
