organization which will prove fa
more valuable to the community thav
any of us can estimate, The man

mwm is going to provide a rifle
“range in this community means that
strong effort is going to be made tc¢
maintain a military organization herec
which will represent in this respect
every need in this section of the
state.
We do not say it to frighten the
members, but the railway facilitics
in and out of Cordele makes this na
tional gunard company the keepers of
the peace tor a pretty large torritor
They c¢an reach the spot early. They
are wonderfully well equipped an:
to be a member of this organization
is of more than passing interest.
We sincerely hope the communit
will recognize in this body of young
men the kind of organization tha!
we need in spite of our late aversior
for war. It is not to be supposed
that we ar2 going to battle with this
b(;dy of young men—not for the pre:

TIRED OF BEING PITIED.
Bellcve me, there are no farm
women around here who work
from 4:30 a. m, until 10: p. m.
I rarely ever get up before six
o'clock and am usually through
before eight at night, even tho
1 do all my own housework, make
all my own clothes, even under
wear and coats, and very ofen
hats, too.
1 have four in the family all
the time and sometimes mgre,
aleo have quite a lot of company.
I do lots of canning of fruits and
vegetables, In our “Lizzie” |1
carry the milk three mileg to the
creamery every morn'ini;, Sunday
included. I do not consider my
self overworked in the least,
neither am 1 bent or faded, ncith
er are my hande reddened or
work worn, | huw;, time to go for
])leusur:.‘ rides and once or twice
a week we go to the movies in the
nearest town, which is nine miles
away. Occasional'y we spend a
day at the lake. Fully 756 per
cent of the farmers in this local
ity own their own motor cars,
Weae nearly all have telephones
and almost without exeeption are
great readers, and when weather
permits we have weekly club
meetings all winter, There is
no such word as lonesomeness in
our vocabulary.
I am gick and tired of being
pitied as a farm woman, when I |
don't need it, beczuse I truly
think we are happier than any
othar clpss of women in the
wholo United States. We have
work enough so that we can ap
preciate our pleasures, and we
have pleasures enough so that
the work never becomes drud
gery. Personally, I would rather
be hanged than to have to wear
saome of the latest fads and fan- |
cies of fashion. Neither would 1
change the “same familiar land
scape” for the side of some one
else’s house, as pz2ople living in
city houses have to do, if they
look out of their wndows at all,
These are tha words of a Massa
chusetts farm wife who hag been
asked to express herself freely ahout
conditions on the farm a:* wo
find them, She did it. One of her
strongest wishes was that peopl:
would stop expressing pity for the
women who live on the farm.
She has plenty of work to do—-if
«he is the right kind of woman, but
she is not out of line with other
women everywnere who care about
their duties. She does not consider
her duties a curse, and again she is
like other women who work., The
woman on the farncis the last woman
on earth to need pity.
Real pity should be expressed foi
thosa who live in the stinted pape:
sack pantry of the hired man, the
salaried man in town. His is a sad
plight, and that plight will not
change till both the husband anl wif
assume they are able to make their
own living under their own flag ol
independence by greater economy
and cooperation. That program
must assume that the wife works,
too, like the farm woman
Many a salaried man can find his
haven on the farm where his wife is
willing to lend an assistance. Where
they work and save on the farm, no
panic, no stint or hunger can come,
no lack ol clothing and housing com
forts can intervene. The working
farmer and the working farm wife
never have less than they deserve in
the comforis of life. These com
forts are inecreasing every day.
Whoever pities the farm woman it
the first word turns loose a head
full of ignorance. She needs no pity
Ask her. She will tell you to learn
more of the real comforts and pleas
ures people get out of farm life. Al
she wants is more real schooling for
her little ones, but even in that re
spect she is not far behind, All of w
need that advantage.

| DIRECTING THE MISSISSIPP!,
. The Father of Waters Iy cdusing «
‘good deal of concern in seven or
eight southern Louisiana parishes by
its increaging tendency to take a new
way to the sea, To be exact, the
Migsigsippl river is not cutting a new
outlet to the Gulf, It is simply turn
ing an aunually increasing body of
water through the Aechafalaya river,
long ago cne of the main branches
of the delta,
By this nefarious deviation from
its rightful course the river hasg been
flooding about 2,000 acres ol cotton
land, causing much damage and lovs
to farmers. Furthermore, of permit
ted to follow this course, it wm.ldi
eventually leave New Orleans hixh]
and dry on a still water lake. |
The goversor of Louisiana recently
called a conference of engineers tc
discuss ways and meang to stop the
trouble before it gets entirely be
vond control.
The most satisfactory plan pro-i
posed o far would provide an outlet
Atchafalaya and at the same tim:r‘
would maintain a constant, man-con
trolleq water level at New Orleans.
The time seems to have passed
when human beings and their affairs
were wholly at the mercy of gre;-:.j
natural forces. Today mankind v:m;
gently guide and direct some ofi
these forces into harmless chammla'f
and let them continue peacefully on
their way. In this is no cause for
contemptuous hoasting, for modern
science and enginecring achieve
these saemingly miraculous rvesults
only by working in harmony with
natural laws,

America. Among these undesirables
are many who were deported from

avenues of immigration. They are

from Rurope to this couuntry. For
tunately, owing to the extent and
‘acenracy of the information which
has been given, governmental au
thorities have been enabled to take
stringent precautions to prevent this
influx. Crews are being subjected
to rigid questioning at foreign ports,
and ingpection methods are tightened
up at American entry ponts. Bu!
even with these precautions, it is not
unlikely that some unsavory rascals
will sneak in—if not through the
great seaports, then through more
remote and less closely guardel
coastal points or boundaries.
The government is working with
skill and earnestness to protect
America from its present enemies
Every good American should co-op

THE CORDELE DISPATCH
WH!THER ARE WE-—-OOR WHERE'
Tifton Gazette: -
The man who “views with alarm’
has lost his job; the question, “whith
or are we drifting?" is passe, as the
hoys from France say. We are there;
we have landed somewhere; the only
question being, “where are we at?”
Ag illustrative, take two announce
ments made last week, One was
from a newspaper which is supposec
to be the accredited spokesman both
for the Republicans and the dominani
so-called Democratic faction in this
State, that Mrs. W. H. Felton, of
Cartersville, bhad been approved by
the Georgia Republicans as the rep
resentative from this state to attend
Harding's peace conference, to he
held at Marion Ohio, in the near
future, and that she would also be
urged by the Georgia Republicans as
a member of Harding's woman advis:
ory cakinet. Then, on Saturday
came the anncuncement that Chair
man W, J. Vereen, of the Georgia
State Demecratic Executive (‘nmmit~l
tee, in naming the wcemen members
of that Ccmmitte2, in accordance.
with instructions of the Macon ('on“
vention. had named Mrs. W. H. Fel}
ton, c¢f Bartow, as one of the twc
members of the Committee from the
S{ate-at-Large! Here we have the
same woman recommended by Geor
zia Republicansi for a place on the
Cabinet cof the Republican President
c¢lect, and appointed by the Chair
man of the State Democratic Execu
tive Committee to one of the two
highest places thereon.
Isn’t that enough to make Georgia
Demgcerats scratch their heads and
wonder into what camp they have
landed?
When Mrs. Felton was introduced
to the radical convention in Atlanta
last May as “The Mcther of Demor
racy,” editors of Georgia newspapers
¢ll enough to remember a quarter
of a century of political history smiled
but said nothing, because they
respect both woman and gray hairs
They will perhaps smile again and let
it go at that.
FALL PREPARATION FOR CORN
The Progressive Farmer: ‘
The club boy who is working and
planning for a bhig profitable ,\'iel(l!
should sele¢t an acre that will be
cleared of crops early in the fall and
break it deep. Eight inches or more
is considered deep plowing but if a
turn plow is used, it should not go
more than two inches below the pre
vious seed bed. That is, land that
has been plowed four inches will not
stand over six inches this year with
a turn plow and eight inches next
vear.
Not only is fall a good season for
seed hed preparation, but it is an
excellent time for working into the
land organic matter which is badly
needed by most soils. Cornstalks
cowpea and velvet bean vines and
other litter, if turned under early in
fall, will have decayed by spring.
Just before the fall plowing 10 o 1
more two-horse loads of manure tc
the acre, available, should be broad
casted. Applied at this time, it will
he thoroughly recaved by spring anc
ready for plant use.
The last step in fall preparation is
q winter cover crop. Rye ‘is the safest
and surest one and will do well on
nearly any kind of land. A fresh
deeply broken seed bed is not best
tor rye or other small grains; but in
spite of this, rye will make a good
spring pasture and much green or
ganic matter to turn under. It may be
sowed from the middle of summer tc
November. Oats and vetch are alsc
good crops but not so sure as rye
They do well together.
The man who is the first to argue
is usually the last to act.
REPUBLICANS GO SOUTH.
From the Washingtoe Post:
Political history has repeuatedly
demonstrated that the results of a
single election are not always perma
nent, and # is unsafe to draw too
many sweeping conclusions from the!
remarkable victory that has been
achieved under the banner of Senator
Harding. Analysis of the stupendous
majorities rolled up from one coast
to the other indicates that hundreds
of thousand of men and women
voted the Republican ticket not so
much because they are Republicans
as becuqse they are Americans. |
One of the striking features of the
elaction i the complete reversal of
the pogition of the two major parties.
Until 1920 the Desmocratic party,
while holding its own section in a
deadly grip, had carried states in the
North, even in New England. It was
represented in the Senate and the
House of Representatives by men
from every section. The Republican
party had not been able to break
the South, and was, therefore, stvicily
speaking, a sectional party.
In wresting a part of the south
from the Democrats, Mr, Harding has
succeeded in establishing the Repub
lican party as a national party. In
his statement at Boston commenting
upon thz nation wide support given
to the Republican ticket, Gov. Cool
idge said:
There is nowhere that the
American spirit ig so strong as in
the border and Southern slates.
" If we can eliminate the sectional
feeling that has ¢o long prevailed
those states will vote the Repub
lican ticket. They are against
every form of radicalism, and
their attachment to constitution
al government is overpowering.
At the Chicago convention last
June the Republican party made a
good Dheginning in the work of
strengthening its position in the
South. The notable success of the
party in Tennessee, the heaviest Re
publican vote polled in Louisiana.
the largast in the history of the state,
and the fact that even in Misgissipp!
several precincts were carried by the
Republicans gave warning to the
Democrats. But for a successful re
volt within the Democratic party in
Georgia that state undoubtedly
‘would have given astonishing support
to the Republican national ticket.
The prominence of Republican
gains in the South depends upon the
future. One landslide does not
change the habits of nature.
