1 D. PRICE FOR
R1C0MMISSI0NER
'Former Commleefoner Of f Agriculture
; Candidate For Memberehlp
On 8tate Railroad
Board
Believing that the farmers and the
ientlre agricultural Interests of Geor-
Igla are entitled to representation on
jtbe state railroad commission, as ■was
Iclearly intended, J. D. Price has en-
Itered the race for that position, and
Will make as active a canvass as pos
sible preceding the state primary ol
'September 11.
J. D. PRICE,
Candidate for Railroad Commissioner
Mr. Price was horn In Georgia, has
lived In the state all bis life, and has
lalways devoted himself to farming
land agricultural pursuits. His two
'opponents are both newspaper men.
For many years Mr. Price has own
ed and operated his own farm at Farm
ington, Oconee county. He served his
county In both branches of the legis
lature-house and senate. As a prac
tical farmer be was elected and served
two terms as commissioner of agricul
ture, and Is at present director of the
Georgia Experiment station near Grif
fin.
During hts public service he has
been called upon to travel extensively
over the state, so that he not only
has a wide acquaintance with Georgia
and her people, but has acquired an
lntlmata knowledge of the conditions
in, and the needs of, the various sec
tions of the state.
Mr, Price has already given consid-
- erable attention to transportation prob
lems In Georgia; and two years ago
when the big fight was on over
Georgia rates, before the railroad com
mission, he arranged to have a hear-
LABOR SHORTAGE
BECOMING SERIOUS
SUCCESS OF AMERICA’S WAR OP-
ERATIONS IMPERILED BT THE
SHORTAGE OF LABOR.
A decidedly critical—almost des
perate-situation exists in regard to
the labor supply.
Advices from Washington are that
thep'resent shortage of common labor
in essential war industries amounts
to one million men.
As a result of the condition vitally
important war-work is being retarded
all. over the country.
The Midvale Steel Plant at Coates-
ville, Pa., manufacturing munitions
fof our army has been forced to shut
down part of thep lant for laA^^^
Unless 5,000 laborers are immedi
ately forthcoming construction work
on the vitally important Picric Acid
Plant at Brunswick, Ga., will cease.
Part of the construction work at
Muscle Shoals, Ala., (though not the
Air Nitrate plant proper) has been
ordered discontinued for the time be
ing.
A similar condition prevails with
other Essential War'Industries. All
this because of a lack of labor. While
many men, rich and poor, white and
black are still idling and loafing and
thousands of others are -frittering
away their time in non-essential in
dustries.
The condition is a shameful one for
the American people to face. It must
be changed immediately.
Unless we speed up the work of
production in this country, the Ameri
can Army in France, whose glorious
achievements have thrilled the Nation,
will face the coming winter with in
sufficient supplies; our progress to
ward victory over the Hun will be re
tarded, and eventually widespread
want will confront our people.
Labor slackers cannot ease their
consciences by purchasing Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps at 4
per cent interest.
Newspaper mefi everywhere, com
ing to the aid of the Department of
Labor, must arouse the people to this
peril. Make it hotter than hades for
the loafer and part-time worker. Tell
thef ellow in non-war work that he
must immediately get into some pro
ductive war-work. Washington has

It makes a man feel curious; it makes

An’ you feel a sort of flutter in the

You can’t took up and meet his eyes:
you don’t know What to say
When his hand is on your shoulder in
a friendly sort o’ way.
Oh, the world’s a curious compound
with its honey and its gall,
With its care and bitter crosses, but
good world after all;
An’ a good God must have made it—

PATRIOTIC DEMON
STRATION URGED
WHITES AND NEGROES ARE
CALLED UPON TO COOPERATE
IN STAGING PATRIOTIC DEM
ONSTRATIONS.
From every community in our state
men have gone to the colors. It seems
to me befitting that the people at
home should give some evidence of
their appreciation for and loyalty to
those who have gone away. Nothing
would encourage our boys in the camp
and trench so much as to know that
friends and loved ones at home are
making some kind of a public demon
stration in honor of their heroic serv
ices.
It seems to me, therefore, that ,»
state-wide movement should be launch
ed tbit would result in this public
demonstration being made at the var-i
ious towns and cities of our state.
These demonstrations would afford
not only pn opportunity for the home
folk to do the honor to those in mili
tary service, but it would also give
them an opportunity to show what
they are doing to care for these boys.
I hereby call upon then egroes of
Georgia to inaugurate Service Flag
Parades to be held in the various
towns and cities in the state, begins
ning Saturday, September 7th be
tween the hours of 12 m. and 4 p. m.,
and ending' Saturday' October 12th.
That is to say, that every town would
choose any Saturday from Septem
ber 7th-to October 12th in which to
hold its parade. I would recommend
| that every family having ofie or more
[representatives in the services would
'secure a service flag which should be
displayed as a banner in the parade.
I would suggest also that every per
son holding Thrift or War-Savings
Stamps should exhibit their cards ' in
the parade as an evidence of what he
is doing to help care for the boys how
in military service. Service Flags
may be made or purchased. Those
desiring to purchase them will likely
find them at the bookstores; and if
they fail to find them in their town,
this office will put them in touch
with a house here that will be glad to
furnish them. The cost depends up
on the size and the material out of
which 'they are made—ranging from
35 cents up.
I Would suggest further that every
person who is without War-Savings or
Thrift Stamps would provide himself
with as matiy as he can afford and
join in the parade. I would have the
parade close with a rousing patriotic
meeting, held either at the court
house or at some other auditorium
large enough to accomodate the peo
ple. j
.1 would have the officers of War
Savings in the various counties tc
become the prime movers in this cam
paign with a view to stimulating the
people of their communities in the
purchase of Thrift and War-Svings
Stamps. This, it seems to me, would
give the citizens a splendid opportu.
nity to show their loyalty to our sol
dier boys, both by honoring them and
lending money for their support.
Now, as this is the season in which
our pledges are to be paid, such
campaign, it seems to me, would
greatly aid in the collection of these
pledges and stimulate those who have
not as yet subscribed their quota to
join with their fellow citizens in
helping our Government to _ finance
the war.

AssL State Director War-Savings for
