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 Member of the Legislature from Troup County.

Hill.yer_ Commissioners Report For August. just decreed that the following are non-essential occupations and that able-bodied men must get out of them. Auto industry accessories, drivers of pleasure cars, cleaning or repair ing or delivering of same, sight seeing cars, auto trucks other than those hauling fuel or doing government work, teaming, other than delivering products for war work, bath and bar- lug In opposition to any increase in ber lhop attendants, bowling, billiard rates on agricultural products and fer tiliser materials. If It bad not been for bis activity at that time, the farm ers would not have been represented before the commission. No farmer has ever been elected a member of the railroad commission, . notwithstanding the fact that the farmere contribute annually more than half the tonnage carried by the rail roads of the state. As he feels he Is well qualified for this service, Mr. Price asks, and will appreciate, the support of the voters of Georgia for the place on the railroad commission and pool rooms, bottle and bottle supplies, candy manufacturers and delicatessen (German in name), con tractors and biulders not engaged on structures for warw ork, dancing academies, mercantile stores, florists, fruit stands, junk dealers, livery and sale stables, pawn brokers, peanut venders, shoe shining shops, window cleaning, softd rink and soda foun tains, fountain supplies. And there uro others. Every person knows what occupations are now es- to bo made vacant by the retirement: sential Of Judge George Htllyer. Able boa(eJ men must get out of these lines of work and offer them selves to the nearest office of the U. S. Employment Service for war work. They will quickly be supplied with steady work at good wages, and will be helping the United States win the war just as materially as the men at thef ront. ROOSEVELT ALLOTS NOBEL PEACE MONEY FUND IS DONATED BY THE COLONEL TO VARIOUS WAR CHARITIES. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt made public a list of war charities to which he has donated the proceeds of the Nobel peace prize awarded him for his work in connection with the peace confer ence at Portsmouth, which ended the Russo-Japanese war. The forme; president originally had turned the fund over to the government for the establishment of a peace commission, but ns no action toward this end bad been taken, her ecently asked con gress to return it to him.

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.
