(Morgan Blake's Column,

George W. Pcrtor a nephew of
the late Corra Harris, is a private
soldier in our army. He recently
wrote a letter to his sister, Carolyn
Porter of Gainesville, Ga. It is a
remarkable document and a chal
lenge to the womanhood of our na
tion. It was published in the
Gainesville Eagle and we reprint
It here as follows:
Dear Carolyn: Again we are
called upon to lay aside our normal
ways of living to defend not only
our homes and freedoms and lives
but also add equally Important,
our honor.
Many persons are prone to give
forth with sympathies and pity for
the man in uniform; to feel sorry
for a man who asks nothing more
than giving his life for his home
and folks. Nothing is more useless
We want no sympathy—only the
throat of the enemy. There is but
single purpose in our lives be it
Bhort or long—victory.
To achieve this certain victory
we in the armed forces must crawl
through the mud and blood of bat
tle—sail the cold and stormy seas
—walk the hell-hot deserts. In our
hearts is a hate thdt makes bodily
suffering nonexistent.
It Is this bitter hate that causes
me to write you this letter, for
yours is the toughest, double-bar
relled job in all history. On your
shoulders and all the other young
girls in America, rests the respon
sibility of keeping our code of liv
ing, our country, our civilization
alive so that those unborn genera
tions to come cannot only enjoy
and thrive and bask in the sun
light of free thought and expres
sion, but also improve and make
more perfect our Union.
Our fighting is useless, our ulti
mate victory empty if we cannot
leave in dependable
hearts the light of democracy. This
wdr is the one purpose of the sol
dier, the sailor, the marine—he
thinks only of death to the enemy
and even if he returns home alive,
unscarred and unbroken from the
battles, his heart is twisted by the
hatred—his soul is broken by the
killing.
So it is you, the future mothers
of America,' that we, the warriors
extend our sympathies. You will
have to aid us in this fight by hard
work and personal sacrifice; you
will have to experience a grief that
only women can stand when news
of death comes; and yet, through it
all, you must, and this is our com
mand, our fervent prayer, you
must keep alive In your hearts for
the Americans of tomorrow the
ideals and beliefs and customs we
now fight to preserve. You must
keep alive in your souls the laugh
ter and humor—and in order to do
this you must keep cleap of all
hate. Leave the hating and fighting
for us.
The hope and existence of
America and democracy is born
and kept alive by things learned at
mother's knee. Let not these teach
ings be forgotten.
God be with us all.
All my love,
George.
CHICKEN PARALYSIS
From Eugene Anderson's column
“Around the Circle” in the Macon
Telegraph;
It is not unusual for poultrymen
to have trouble with chicken pa
ralysis. Each day one or more
thrifty looking pullets will droop a
wing, and in a short time death
will occur.
"That's caused by uncleanliness,"
says Albert Guinn, who has grown
up in his father's 5,000-hen Peach
Valley Egg Farm and Hatchery in
Taylor county. “We have never had
a case of paralysis on this farm,
and it is • because we sterilize ev
erything from the cackle to the
hatchery. We even lime the soil on
which the chickens range, and keep
the ground broken and freshened
frequently. We don't let the land
get sour, and the hens and pullets
lay in such surroundings that they
come in contact with nothing un
sanitary. Their eggs don't have to
be cleaned, because they are never
soiled. The "breaking of the land
after liming, and exposing it to the
sunlight, causes the death of many
germs. Chlorine is used to setrilize
everything, and we disinfect with
permanganate of potash, which
kills germs.”
Those growers who have com
plained about the loss of chicks by
paralysis have said nobody seemed
to know what the cure is, but the
Guinn farm growers feel sure from
experience and study that many
discouraging ills are due to fail
ure to keep the flock away t from
unclean food or range.
Mr. Guinn himself had said
sunshine is a great disinfectant
and disease preventive. A few years
ago he planted apple trees all
thru the chicken runs, but after
wards found this was a mistake,
because the trees produced so
much shade the sunshine couldn't
destroy germs.
WAR'S END
(Published by request of a local
Herald Reader):
Maybe what happened In this
story is merely coincidental, but
some people claim that Indians arc
true •prophets. Naturally I would
liketo believe the Indian, because,
like all other women, I have a lot
at stake in this war.
Two of my sister's friends In
New York, a man and his wife,
were taking an automobile trip
and met an Indian hiking along
the highway. (I understand there
are about 5,000 Indians living In
New York State.) They picked him
up and let him ride In the back
seat. The war became the topic of
conversation. The Indian told them
that itis not to be a,long war, that
"Germany will be defeated six
months after the body of a dead
man Is found in your car." They
were nervous, not knowing but
what he intended to kill them.
However, they reached the reserva
tion safely, and the Indian got out.
They had i not gone ten miles
farther when' they came upon the
wreck of two cars. A state trooper
asked them to take one of the in
jured men to the hospital at
Plattsburg, N. Y. On arrival at the
hospital, the man was found to be
dead.
According to the quick fulfill
ment of the Indian's prophecy the
German question will be settled in
June. However, the prophet did
not say anything about the Japs.
