THE NEWS AND FARMER VOLUME 31—No. 18. PI An live STOCK Assutou;; :"* dt fr MOVEMENT STARTED BY ENTER PRISING CITIZENS TO HAVE COUNTY FAIR In this issue will be found the no tice of incorporation of “The Jeffer son County Fair and Live Stock As sociation.” This is an important move and means much for the advancement of the county. In 1888 we had a suc cessful colt show and this lead to the establishment of a county fair. It was carried on successfully for several years. There is no leason why Jef ferson county should not support a good fair. This is a large and pros perous county, and the crops produced are varied and of the best, and we can maintain as good a fair as any coun ty in the state. Besides many of the farmers are raising many and the best stock. Head carefully the charter no tice and see what the promoters intend to do. Then arrange your affairs to join in and help the worthy undertak ing. MIGHTY FAST ACCUMULATION According to the records there is one man in Emanuel county who returned on the first day of January to the tax receiver SBOO on money, notes and ac counts. Since January Ist, or to be ex act during the months of March and April, he has made two cash loans to the amount of $20,000. This statement is borne out by the records. This statement is made for the pur pose of showing the public just how fast a man can increase his wealth in Emanuel county, when he tries. There is no charge here of false tax returns, of course, for we have a board of tax assessors, who are paid to see that every man gives in all his taxable property at its true market value. They are there for the purpose of seeing that this is done, even if a man’s oath did not compel him to do it. If you want to increase your wealth move to Emanuel county. MEETING OF THE VETERANS. The veterans will be given their an nual picnic and meeting at the Acad emy tomorrow. All are cordially invit ed to attend. The few to attend will impress us that the day is not far off when they will all be gone to the other shores. Hence it is important that we give th- remaining few all attention ard care possible.

They will go to the Satilla River in South Georgia, near the Florida line. They will carry plenty of bait and all kinds of fishing tackle and hope to have a big time. Will give further account on their return and when we get their stories in some kind of shape and harmony. PICNIC FRIDAY. The Sabbath Schools and the day school of Louisville will have their annual picnic tomorrow, Friday, at the grounds of the Louisville Academy. It is hoped that all the children who at tend these schools, those who live in Louisville and in the country, will at tend. And all of their parents are ex pected, and that they will bring bas kets for the occasion. On account of the war the children have not enjoyed a •picnic in some time and all should unite in trying to make the day one of' great pleasure. And this is espe cially true, since the little folks have been held down mighty close at school. School has been in session every day, since Christmas and no Saturday for recreation and rest. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” is an old and true saying. Let all join in the effort to make tomorrow a great day for the young folks. INCOME TAX MAN HERE Mr. R. E. Butler, deputy collector, is spending a portion of this week in Louisville and will take pleasure in as sisting any of our citizens in preparing statements of their income taxes. The dates assigned to Louisville are April 23, 24 and 25. All individuals and cor porations liable to income taxes should see him while he is here. The longer peace is delayed the long er will the world be in the haize of war’s problems, without a knowledge of the demands of peace, and bus; ness is naturally upset. Boosting a town won’t make it grow, but it will help. ARAA AND LEG LOSSES OF SOLDIERS 3130 NEARLY 1,000 LOST HANDS AND FEET—SUFFERERS BEING RE STORED TO USEFULNESS Washington, D. C.—According to official advices, the total of “Major amputation cases” in the United States forces to date is 3,034, of which 2,308 are arm and leg cases, and of these ap proximately 600 are arm amputations and 1,709 are leg amputations. The re maining 726 are hands, feet and two or more fingers. Not all of tlies men require special training to enable them to make a liv ing, the federal board of vocational education points out; in fact the per centage is smaller than one would imagine. A lawyer, doctor, draft man, bookeeper, dentist, office man, ste nograph or salesman is not necessari ly affected unfavorably in making a living by reason of having lost a leg, but the loss of an arm may be a very serious matter. Those who in the main lequire edu cations are farmers, artisans whose trade required activity, suejj as car penters, teamsters, structural iron workers and the like. AUTOMOBILE IN TROUBLE Sabbath, Dr. L. D. Gale, Miss Sue Gale and Rev. J. M. Lovett started to Wrens to attend the Sabbath School Convention and in order to reach the public road quickly, they followed a newly made road. A stump was rather high and they stopped and looked at it, but concluded the car would pass over all right. Puttinv on steam the axle hit the stump hard. Miss Mary was forced through the wind shield and her face cut some. Dr. Gale and Rev. Lovett were shaken up some, but not damaged. CAPT. WHITE MAKES FLIGHT FROM CHICAGO TO NEW YORK Mineola, N.

That League of Nations v. ill get there hut it will leave a hard road to travel. — Kaltiinore American. Mr. J. S. Johnson, who is now with the A. J. Long Grocery Company as salesman, spent the week-end in the city. Soda Founts Must Keep a Record One Cent Must Be Paid to the Gov ernment Out of Each Dime of Sales. Uncle Sam needs some money and he knows how to get it. A tax of one sent on each dime’s wortli of soft drinks will be exacted from the soda founts. That every seller of soft drinks must keep a true record of every dish or glass of refreshments sold at his establishment after May 1 was announced in a telegram to A. O. Blalock, internal revenue collector of this district from the commis sioner of internal revenue. The telegram was occasioned by the now government revenue law under which one cent shall be paid by tho consumer as a luxury tax on every 10 cents worth or fraction thereof spent for soft drinks, the tax to be turned over to the federal government. The law further states that the proprietor shall keep rec ords on every soft drink sold and that these records are subject to in vestigation at any time by the gov ernment. In filing his statements it is only necessary for the dealer to state the total sales and the tax on the sales. LOUISVILLE, GA.

PROFITEERING The Nebraska Farmer Congress ad vocated State ami Federal regulation of the margin <f profits, and “Tapper's Weekly says that is the correct remedy for excessive prices. Rut how would some of tin 1 Nebraska wheat farmers like to have their own margin of profits regulated? State and federal regulation of the margin of profit is n suggestion made in the resolution of the Nebraska Far mer Congress. This is the “governor’’ the law must supply for the big busi ness engine, to keep it from running away and profiteering those it should serve on a live-and-let-live basis of profit. It wouldnt be such a groat undertak ing to police the bookkeeping of every big business in the United State® but this would he far easier than to take over and operate any one or two < them. The Government would prescribe a uniform set of books for each indus try or corporation, which would pre vent covering up profits, and would • amine these books from time to time just as the Government bank exam iners examine the books of banks and call for statements without warning four or five times a year. These exami nations would disclose whether or not the corporation was padding its ex pense account in order to increase its profits that much more, or above what the government determines is a fair profit on the normal and legitimate ex pense of conducting the business. We should not hamper big business if it totes fair, it can serve us much better than little business. Organized endeavor is many times more efficient and less expensive than an unorganiz ed effort. Big business is a develop ment of the times. It can do more for the people and do it cheaper. And it stops cut-throat or ruinous competition. All we need to realize these benefits is that it shall be made to do business fairly with those it serves instead of exploiting them and charging all the traffic will bear. That sort of government control of big business is feasible and practicable and we have governmental machinery already in existence which could take over such work. A train of tourist automobiles passed through the city last Friday afternoon onroute from Jacksonville, Fla., to North Adams, Mass. Several big tour ing cars were in the party, and a large sixteen passenger bus, and the party attracted a good deal of attention from the people that were on the streets at that time. No man liveth to himself; be glad to help good causes whenever you can. have the right stuff to sell or propose; otherwise, not.

We hear some are playing base bail on the Sabbath day. We are surprised J" learn that sm-li is happening in the inty of Jefferson. That may dm and poorly at that, in some svild .and un < ii rist inn sections, but it is not in ! keeping where people pretend to re sped God and I e holy day. When people forget to reverence the Sabbath day. it does not take long for them to I neglect and trample under foot all that Ifs holy and good. Our people should condemn and put dosvn any such inno vation in our county. It may not be against the law, but it certainly is con trary t< good morals and good church living.
