19th Amendment
Becomes Of Age
Twentyone years ago on August 20 the 10th
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of
America was passed It was by this amendment that
women obtained the right to vote after many decades
of fighting and struggling to obtain equality with the
stronger sex
In this year womans suffrage obtains its majority
it is of age This birthday is a date deserving
national and international notice yet doubtless it will
pass without more than a casual word or two from a
iew of the many news commentators or analyzers
whose comments come dally over the airwaves or on
the pages of your newspaper Yes the privilege of
woman suffrage has existed for 21 years and when
it was first initiated many men high in political circles
mournfully shook their heads saying that such a
move could only bode evil to the political and governing
life of the new nation
How proudly have the women of America stood up
for their rights How strongly have they crusaded in
defense of their interests How brilliantly have they
exercised this privilege granted them by the governing
men of the early twentieth century The forethought
and care exercised by these women at the polls have
set an unprecedented example in the annals of national
history and have become an example to the womanhood
of other nations
Although the movement started slowly at first
with much distrust and doubt voiced against them
the women of America have proved their purpose and
intelligence and right to exercise one of the main freedoms
of a democratic country At national party conventions
the women voters have taken the lead in helping
to prepare the party platform for any election year
they have nominated those who often are victorious
in any campaign they have unstintingly given of their
time energies and money to help their favored candidate
to the final victory
Women themselves have risen to the heights of
political life and the number who have actually held
important offices is increasing with each voting period
Several have held high state offices others have held
seats in the national congress and one lias attained a
membership in the cabinet of the President of the
United States
Yes suffrage in the United States was a welcome
and muchneeded acquisition in the laws and bylaws
by which we live The women of America have proudly
carried the flying banner of having a voice in the
government and on its twentyfirst birthday they renew
their pledge to sec that it continues to fly over the
country of their allegiance the United States of America
a free democracy in a world rotten with autocracy
Minute Editorials
As a rule the man who is petty and little in one
tiling is petty and little in everything Pettiness and littleness
just do not associate with bigness tolerance and
broad mindedness Big things never come out of little
minds m
Praise some folks a little and you stimulate them
to still greater achievements Praise others ever so little
and you so swell them up with conceit that it destroys
the good they might otherwise accomplish

What we would like to see is some movement started
to use old car bodies in the defense program The
country needs something like that to clean up the automobile

There are plenty of Stop signs on the road to

America First
Last Always
Is Nations Cry
BY GEORGE PECK
Two organizations The Committee
to Defend America by Aiding
the Allies and The America
First Committee arc working for
a similar purpose to keep any
foreign invader from landing on
our shores or sending its airplanes
over our unprotected cities The
former as its title implies believes
that our strongest defense
is to help the Allies while the
latter holds that we should simply
strengthen our defenses at
home
Neither of these Committees has
a corner on Americas patriots for
in the publicized lists of members
and contributors to both are men
and women whose loyalty and
good faith are unimpeachable
However both have within their
ranks fanatical zealots who believe
their own particular solutions of
the defense program are the only
ones and that those holding opposing
views should be silenced
Unfortunately verbal brickbats
are being tossed and ridiculous
accusations of traitor and spy are
being leveled at certain American
citizens who are just as staunch
in their fidelity to America as
are their accusers It is not necessary
to mention any names as
they have been very much in the
public prints
Mark Twain in his Mysterious
Stranger with prophetic vision
foretold just such a condition
when he wrote therein A few
fair men on the other side will
argue and reason against the war
with speech and pen and at first
will have a hearing and be applauded
but it will not last long
those others will outshout them
and presently the antiwar will
thin out and lose popularity Before
long you will see this curious
thing the speakers stoned
from the platform and free speech
strangled by the hordes of furious
men who in their secret
hearts are still at one with those
stoned speakers

Todays World
Is No Longer
A Simple Thing
BY FRANK DIXON
I can well remember as no
doubt many of my readers can
when life national and international
seemed comparatively simple
Things moved along in the
even tenor of their way and the
problems tbat confronted the individual
and the nation seemed
comparatively simple of solution
Formulas for success and the
future were fairly well standardized
They had become so because
of the fact that conditions
were and had been for many
years more or less static and the
application of a certain formula
to a given set of facts would produce
a given result
Under such conditions a young
graduate could look out upon his
or her world of tomorrow and
tell pretty well what would be
its conditions and problems that
would have to be met and what
formula would need to be applied
for their solution
How different is this today
Within the last 25 years more upheavals
more turning over more
changing around and about have
taken place than took place in
the two hundred years that precededNo one not even the most astute
students of history and human
conduct can predict or hazard
a guess as to what the future
will be or what the world of
tomorrow will be like Only one
thing its certain and that is that
we arc never going back again
to the simple peaceful easy going
days of even 25 years ago
The change that has come in
many ways is the natural change
that comes in the growth of a
race too energetic too ambitious
to remain static As governments
become older and territories become
over populated and natural
resources prove inadequate and
the economic order becomes more
complex our problems multiply
and will continue to multiply
The world instead of becoming
more simple and leisurely is going
to become more complex and
more hurried Its problems and
the problems of the individual
are going to come more and more
difficult of solution
What of the problem of America
after the war Assuming that
England is victorious and Hitler
crushed our national and our international
problems arc not going
to be solved On the contrary
they are going to bo more complex
than they ever have been
We arc going to sec isolationism
relegated to the scrap heap I am
convinced that there is going to
be less place in the world of tomorrow
for isolationism than there
is today Its passing is the natural
trend of a daily shrinking world
and a social order that daily becomes
more complicated
Wo have our great problem to
solve after the war in adjusting
ourselves to the pursuits of peace
and gearing the defense machine
to the needs of peace time pursuits
The problem of employment
and the maintenance of a standard
of living entirely out of line
with the rest of the world is a
problem the solution of which is
by no means sure or certain
What of Europe after the war
Problems such as have never
faced mankind will rise here and
whether we will it or not we have
a stake a big stake in their
peaceful settlement because whatever
the world of tomorrow maybe
we all have to live and work
in it It is still our world
Gasoline and other motor vehicle
taxes have provided the
nation with a 17 billion dollar
defense highway system As a
result the United States has the
largest and best defense highway
system in the world
The nations roads are a tremendously
valuable piece of property
They must be kept in condition
or they cease to be valuable
Any higher gasoline tax
might jeopardize road maintenance
by tlie states

Peaches have been in the foreground of the homemakers
attention for several weeks but just now
another variety of peach has made its appearance
this season in a sizable quantity These big
yellow peaches now on the market contain an
excellent source of vitamin A which helps growth
vitamin B Vitamin C to keep the body in good condition
and also vitamin Gl which Is vital to delicate
nerve tissues and maintains body vigor
Sales of defense bonds and stamps in this county
have been unusually high But there is no time limit
on investing your money In the safest way known in
the whole country so just because you have heard of
the sales for quite a while dont begin to think that
there is a limit on the amount of bonds to be bought
or to the security of your money And incidentally
besides doing yourself a big favor by investing in such
a safe investment Uncle Sam still needs that money
youre loaning him on that bond so play safe as well
as patriotic Buy defense bonds today
Have you noticed the restlessness around town
Most school children are getting anxious to start to
school again on September 2 and those who are going
off to college ere weighing the merits and demerits of
everything they do or buy before the day when they
leave town Merchants arc displaying their new fall lines
of goods and everyone is looking forward to the arrival
of the new teachers coming for the first time and
the old ones returning to renew old acquaintances Yes
September means the opening of school again and also
a sign that summer is just about over Its still not too
late to get in that last swim boys and girls
There are 94 men credited to Swisher County in
the various service forces of our great nation This
means that everyone in the county either has a relative
in the group or at least two or three acquaintances and
for most Swisher County folk the number of both is
much larger than this estimate These boys are doing
their part why dont you Remember the boy in camp
on maneuvers or at sea today Hell be grateful for a
good while to come if you do
Thanks homemakers for all the nice things you k
have said about the recipes we have published with the
cooperation of Miss Ruby Wood county home demonstration
agent We printed them at your request after
the county h d meet on August 7 here
Love Howard came into the Herald office yesterday
morning grinning very proudly He brought with him
a seven inch branch off a plum tree and there were
24 goodsized plums on it That is there were 24
plums before some of those who saw it decided to help
themselves and cat one two or three if they thought
they could Their tricks backfired however for the
plums arc not quite ripe yet

HEADLINE NEWS
From Here And There
The eastern seaboard in the past has received the
bulk of its petroleum product from tankers which haul
it by water up the coast from Texas gulf points With
the transfer of 50 of the tankers used in the shipment
of this oil to England the cast faces an acute oil shortage
To relieve this in the future a pipe line costing
70000000 and capable of transporting 250000 barrels
a day will be built during the next year The line will
extend from the east Texas fields to southern Illinois
and thence to the east coast
Since gold and silver were discovered at Cripple
Creek Colo in 1891 over 400000000 in ore has been
extracted from the mines there Operations were stopped
when water flooded the lower levels of the mines
A tunnel 0 miles long 10 feet wide and 11 feet high
was recently completed at a cost of 2000000 to drain
the water from the lower levels of the mines It is
estimated that there remains over 13000000 in ore
that can now be removed as a result of the drainage
afforded by the tunnel

The Good Gardener

BY THOMAS HASTWELL
Everyone who has raised a garden has found that
it is not enough that the garden be planted and left to
grow to itself The gardener must care for it daily
Building a life is in many respects like growing a
garden Unless its builder give dally thought and care
and vigilance to its building it like the garden will
become filled with those things that rob it of its beauty
and its usefulness Sincerity kindness thoughtfulness
industry sobriety thrift consideration charity gentleness
meekness love These are the flowers and the
fruits of a well ordered life That they may not be T
choked out by the weeds and briars of dlssention
strife hate malice selfishness greed one must watch
with vigilance The rules for growing a garden must
have been worked out by successful gardeners that no
one need go wrong if he will but be vigilant The rules
for a successful and a happy and a well ordered life
have been given by Christ They are so clear so simple
that in the following of them no one need go
wrong He has shown us how to build a successful
life free from the things that stunt and impoverish
and filled with all those things that will make it useful
and beautiful and happy Its price like the price
of a good garden is diligence and daily vigilance
