FOR SOLICITOR GENERAL. To th. Whit. VoUr. of Polk County: I hereby announce myself a candidate for the office of Solicitor General of the Talla poosa Circuit Bubject to the White Primary when held for the nomination of tho same. 1 ask you to investigate my standing as lawyer and beg to call your attention to n continued re-election without opposition to the office of Ordinary of Douglas county, which office I now hold as an evidence of the judgemene of my home people to my flt- ss for office. I will appreciate the support, vote and In fluence of ovory one whether I am able to e you in person or not. . If elected I promise to use my best er- forts to see that the laws are du y and faithfully enforced and that J* ^ on *' J. H. McLiAKlX. ofjpFcT Tho Gov’nor’s traveling ’round the state At a quite promiscuous rate, And they say it’a ’mongst the facta He’a looking for more things to tax. Since Mr. Volatead’a bone-dry law Swiped this nation on the Jaw, We’ve noticed now for quite a time Thero's been a swapping ’round in crime. It’* made a new set of law-breakers; Has It really lessened the “partak ers?" Trouble is, when people break Any law our Solons make, It gives to crime a mighty boost— Sets chickens that come home to roost. You’ve noticed that the hens you keep Have gohe to laying—since eggs are cheap. Wo centa a day—you hear us, men! Ie little wage for e'en a hen. A patch on the pants is the Harding mark, And his lodge word now is, “Keep it dark,” While the “sign” the country round about Is to wear your pockets inside out. And here’s a sort- Er funny song: Ma’a skirt is short And baby's long. This is Victory Week for the Cot ton Co-operative Marketing Associa tion in Georgia. Tho organizers re port tho work progressing very satis factorily in Polk. PUnt a kind of cotton that gives a good staple. You can't get as good a price for the short staples. It is “cotton,” of course, but it isn’t worth as much to any manufacturer as the longor varieties. It is a physical impossibility for anyone to take care of more than five or six acres of cotton to the plow un der boil weevil conditions, unless you have an extra large and willing force of workers. If you try to do too much, tha weevil will get it all. The United States ought to be rep resented, of course, at the internat ional conference in Genoa, but our government has acted wisely in de clining. It would be necessary to send the President, the State De partment and the entire United States Senate to formulate a treaty that could be ratified, and the time of the conference would be too limited to enable some of the long-winded “statesmen” to have their “say.” Advances for Georgia from the War Finance Corporation up to the present time aggregate nearly $7,- 000,000, according to information given Monday to Senator William J. Harris by Director McClean, of the Corporation. Senator Harris says the law under which advances are be ing made by tho War Finance Cor poration expires on June 80th, and that he is supporting a bill to extend the operations beyond that date. In reference to the proposed “bo nus” for soldiers we’ve been watch ing for somebody to make the real ly sensible suggestion that it be given only where needed —just as all pen sions should be paid. It would be im possible to “pay’’ the men enough who served their country in any war, and to thus undertake the impossible tends to cheapen patriotism. Uncle Sam is taking good care of the boys who were wounded or sick in the World War, and is looking well after their health. If any of them are in want, throughh misfortune and not through fault of their own, this great country wants to see them cared for, as a matter of course. We Need It. “Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. “Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God,even our own God, shall bless us.” It was many centuries ago that the Paalmist sang these inspired and in spiring words, which are as true to day as then. When the children of Israel lived according to these words, they were prospered in their work. When they departed from them, calamity over took them. The some is true today, and the reason is plain. The man who !b “right with God” leads a safe and sane life,and as one of our good cit izens—a former farmer— said the other day, “There is no telling how much a farmer can raise on a piece of ground if he is in partnership with the Almighty.” The Manufacturers Record, a strictly business publication, months ago declared that what the world needs is a genuine revival of religion. It had reference mainly to the neces sity for getting back to tho old prin ciples of business honesty and the more goneral practice of the Golden Rule. But these are material things, and we wish to call attention to some thing vastly more important in an ticipation of the simultaneous revival meetings beginning here Sunday. Grand Jury presentments are usually “dry reading,” but there is one sec tion of those published in this week's Standard that does not come under that category and which we want to urge upon the attention of all our readers. It is the part which refers to the connection between the break' ing down of the old-time home and the present wave of crime and unrest that is sweeping the country. When Hon. L. S. Ledbetter read these Pre sentments to the court last Friday, Judge F. A. Irwin did well in emphas izing this section. It is certainly time that parents and publicists should do some earnest thinking and take some wise action along these lines. And what better help could they have than God’s word studied and applied in the spirit of the Bavior? The world needs a revival of reli gion. Polk county needs it. And ev ery man, woman and child in Cedar town needs it. NOTICE TO -- ROAD CONTRAC TORS.

The many relatives and friends here in his old home town of Gen. P. C. HarriB, the distinguished Adjutant General of the United States Army, will be much interested In the fol lowing news which comes from Washington:— Maj. Gen. Peter C. Harris, the Ad jutant General of the army since Sept. 1, 1918, will leave shortly af ter April 1st on a leave of absence to extend until Aug. 31, 1922, the date on which his four-year detail as the Adjutant General expires, when he will go on the retired list as a Ma jor General upon his application. The health of Mrs. Harris requires a change of climate, and they will go to southern Europe for some months. Gen. Harris assumed the duties of Adjutant General when the Ameri can participation in the world war was at its height, and in view of his constant attention to the duties of the office, requiring work both night and day, he decided to request a leave for the remainder of his term. In reviewing the work of the Ad jutant General's office it is said that with a clerical force of only twice that authorized for the fiscal year 1917 the office is handling nearly five times as many letters and mem oranda requiring investigation and correspondence as were handled in the office before the world war. TLe records of the world war today, less than four years after the signing of the armistice, are far more nearly complete than were those of the civil war thirty years after its close, and are equally as accessible as were the records of the civil war after they had been carded and assembled in in dividual jackets at a cost of many millions of dollars. The satisactory condition today of the records of the world war and the work incident thereto is due to the adoption of a new system of record making and record-keeping. In Ap ril, 1917, the system of keeping the military records —other than corres pondence —of officers and soldiers by the army and in the Adjutant General’s office was substantially the same as in the civil war. The new system, which was developed and put into operation during the war, under the personal direction of Gen. Harris, has enabled the office to keep its work current notwithstanding the unprecedented number of calls for information from the records receiv ed from the Veteans' Bureau, Auditor of the War Department, Army finance officers, the Federal Board for Vocational Education, the American Red Cross and from many other sources official and private. In his annual report to the Secre tary of War, Gen. Harris said: “It is no exaggeration to Btate that the changes in the record-keeping system, made upon recommendation from this office, after the declaration of war, have saved the government millions of dollars, through making it possible to furnish information promptly to the Veterans’ Bureau and other relief agencies previously referred to, and have spared our dis abled soldiers and the dependent rel atives of those who sacrificed their lives in their country’s cause, untold suffering, misery and want.’’ Pictorial Patterns FROM 20 TO 30 CENTS.

A half dozen newspaper men in New York recently demonstrated that dodging the curious reporter by the simple expedient of sailing away on the briny deep has ceased to be quite so simple. They wished to talk to persons a- board the United StateB Shipping Board liner "America,” but did not care to wait for tho vessel to span the 370 miles of ocean that separat ed her from New York. So they hur ried to a telephone exchange, tossed coins into as many slots, took down six receivers, said "Give me the A- merica” and waited. In due time some one said: “Here’s your party,” and the interview was on. The reporters learned that the "America” expected to dock at 8 p. m. the next day, that the weather had been “heavy with strong seas which delayed us,” and that there were 663 passengers abroad, Includ ing 200 Americans who had been soldiering for the King of Spain in the war in Morocco, “broke and out of smokes.” “Just like talking to Harlem or the Bronx,” the reporters agreed when the interview was concluded. In talking to the ship, their voices were transmitted by wires to the Deal Beach transmitting station,and thence by wireless. The incoming messages were wirelessed from the vessel to the receiving station at El- beron and transmitted to the New i ork exchange by wire. The demonstration was a test of new long distance telephone equip ment installed on the America with the consent of the Shipping Board. At its conclusion it was predicted that wireless 'phones soon would be in general use on ocean lines. This conversation, reported from o 1 ?"LT < ? rk ’ was heard b y M r- C. R. Sheffield, who had been “listening in on messages from the ship to shore stations a couple of days be fore, while the vessel was much far- ther out. 1 Service Commission warns the public against the paying of money in the hope of securing em ployment at Muscle Shoals. A large n “™ ber of people have been defraud ed by concerns advertising for labor t ere, the getting of a job being con ditioned on the payment of $1 reg istration fee. There is no demand whatever for labor there.
