Leave It To Wilson
As long as the President isn't in any hurry about it why get excited
these ‘hot days about the German reply and what we are going to do
about it? Leave it to Wilson.” is good advice to hand the tellow who
wants to argue with you.—Savannah News.
No Food Shortage In Germany
That England has failed in her plan to starve Germany into sub
mission has been admitted by Earnest P, Bicknell, national director of
the American Rad Cross, who has just returned to this country after
making an exhaustive investigation of the Rockefeller Foundation.
Mr. Bicknell states in an interview: “Any one who thinks Ger
many has a food shortage, or will have one, is deceiving himself. The
German government has just made a complete inventory and has
found it has now enough to feed the German people until November i,
without counting on the new crops now coming in, Germany is in
a splendid position as to food.”
Mother Pensions Now Kansas Law
The first Kansas legislature elected in part by votes of women,
closed last week, and Mrs. S. A. Thurston, who was one of the wo
men’s lobby at Topeka, tells The Woman’s Journal some of the ac
complishments for women.
A mother’s pension bill making Kansas the tenth of eleven suff
rage states to pass such a measure, was carried, The pensions are to
be administered by the various boards of county commissioners with
the assistance of an appointed board of three women in each county.
A child hygiene bureau was created by the legislature.
A wage commission bill was passed. The commission will con
sist of three members, the state labor commissioner, ex-officio, and
two others, one of whom is to be a woman, appointed by the governor,
These three measures were endorsed by the State Federation of
Women’s Clubs, the state W. C. T, U., the Good Citizenship League,
the Kansas branch of the Natiocal Congress of Mothers, besides vari
ous local organizations of strength and influence, ‘‘Some of the meas
ures passed were not all desired,” says Mrs. Thurston, ‘‘but we feel
that a beginning has been made.” ‘
Women are one-half the human race, the teachers of a large part
of the race, the mothers of all the race, therefore, the welfare of the‘
race demands that the experience of women be utilized volitically, be
voiced directly, and be recorded by voting individually, ‘
A Talk That Will Do Good
It was a powerful address that Judge Nash R, Broyles delivered
before the annual convention of the Georgia Weekly Press Association
at Eastman,
He said that the headwaters of crime in Georgia. the three great
springs which feed the rivers of crime, were ignorance, liquor and
pistol toting. He thereupon called upon the newspapers of Georgia
to consolidate in a campaign for securing a better enforcement of the
prohibition law, for obtaining the enactment of a compulsory educa
tion law, and for moving the legislature to pass more stringent legis
tion regulating the pistol. The most dangerous person in the world, he
said, was an ignorant man, filled with whisky and carrying a pistol.
The editors were deeply moved by Judge Broyles’ splendid ad
dress, and there was an inward resolution on the part of all of them
to give more editorial attention henceforth to the subject treated by
bim. Kor fifteen years recorder in Atlanta, J udge Broyles had ex
cellent and intimate opportunity to study crime, its causes and effects,
and he is peculiarly well equipped to discuss the topic.
It is certain that as a result of his address there will be a more
concerted effort among the newspapers of Georgia hereafter towarq
the end of securing a compulsory education law. The evils of ignor
ance were vividly stressed by him, and he declared that it was more
importaut that Georgia raise good citizens than it was that the state
should raise good crops. His remarks along this line stirred the edi
tors and he was warwly thanked and commended for his talk. Macon

And Be Free From Her Troubles,

Columb Tpnn.—“Man¥ 8 time”
says Mrs, Jessie Sharp, of this Place
“I'wished I would die and be refieved
of my guffering, from womanly troubles.
I could not fift up, without pullin%eat
somethlnfi,to help me, and stayed in bed
most of the time. I could not do my
housework.
The least amount of work tired me
out. My head would swim, and 1 would
tremble for an hour or more, Finally, |
took Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and |
am not bothered with fains any more,
and I don’t have to go to bed. In fact,
I am sound and well of all my troubles.”
Cardui goes to all the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It acts with
nature—not against her. It is for the
tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel
as if everything were wrong, and need
something fo quiet their nerves and
strengthen the worn-out system.
If you are a woman, sufferinF from any
of the numerous symptoms of womanly
trouble, take Cardui. It will help you.

» SPORTING SECTION
FITZGERALD WINS FIRST.
The first game of three-game
series against Eufaula was won by
the visitors by the walk-away score
of nine to two. The game went for
only five innings until Umpire Bos
tick called it on account of dark
ness.
At first, up to the fourth inning,
the game stood two to nothing in
favor of the local team, and the out
look was dark for Fitz; but Fitz
gerald picked up and scored three in
‘the fourth and six in the fifth. This
‘victory was complete as unexpected.
The railroad connections are poor
and the boys had a pretty bad night
and as they could not have been
in the best of condition. However,
they won the game.
Lefty Roseberry held the mound
for Fitzgerald and, in spite of a
badly hurt finger, pitched a fine
game. He has got stuff and is game.
Score by innings: R H E
Fitzgerald, - 00036 9 7 1
Eufaula, - - 00200 2 6 3
Batteries, Roseberry and Mono
han. Parker and. Williams. Um~
pires, Bostick and Quarles. |
Now that Culpepper has left we
have only three men on our pitch
ing staff. This is really all that an
ameteur club needs to carry. All
three are stars, McFarland from
the Brunswick league team, Rose
berry from Macon, and Garwood is
as good a pitcher as a school can
turn out.
Lockabie, catcher, outfielder and
heavy hitter, has quit Hawkinsville
and joined the local team. Heis
certainly a “valuable acquisition” to‘
the team. He left last night for‘
Eufaula to play today and tomor
row.
THREE STRAIGHTS. ’
Wednesday Fitzgerald made it
three straights from Tennille. It was|
a close fast game. Tennille had the
best of it for the first part of the
game, and was ahead until (the
sixth inning, when Kates scored the
tying run from second on Myers‘l
single. Myers was tagged out
at home when pitcher Daniels made
one of the most beautiful balks ever’
exhibited, and passed by the umps.!
on the home grounds. It wasa!
close decision at that. With three,
men on, Myers tripled and scored
Bennett and Beal. Kates was called
out at the plate on a close decision.
Garwood pitched for Fitz
gerald and pitched well, altho
his fielding was not as good as
usual. He made up for this, to a
certain extent, by scoring our first
run. Daniels for the visiting team
pitched as well and fielded better.
Fitzgerald featured one double in
the first inning when Monahan peg
ged Calvo at second, and Myers
pegged back, catching Dukes at the
plate. Tennille worked one in the
third, short to second to third.
Myers’ hitting with men on was an
other feature.
Score by innings: R H B
Fitzgerald, 000 011 02x 4 9 5
Tennille, 000 110 000 2 9 4
A Fitzgerald Interview
Mr. Harnish Tells
His Experience
l The following brief account of
{an interview with a Fitzgerald man
six years ago, and its sequel, will
’be read with keen interest by
.every citizen.
} Fred A, Harnish, shoemaker,
215 Roanoke Drive, Fitzgerald,
|says: ““My back caused me a lot
lof annoyance. I had a constant
!la_meness and sorenees across my
loins and it hutt me to get up
|from my bench while working.
Plasters and liniments didn’t give
‘relief. One vox of Doan’s Kidney
Pills removed the lameness and
eoreness in my back,”
Over six years later, Mr. Harn
lish said: “‘Doan’s Kidney Pills
idid me alot of good and lam
glad to again recommend them.”

simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same
