University of Georgia Gleo and Man
dotyn club.
The post recently put over a drive
for $3,600 for the Red Cross chapter
which was doing a work here that the
post thought rould not he stopped. A
great doal of this work was among
the rehabilitation men attending the
University or Georgia. The chapter
needed the above amount lo run them
for the next year. A great many peo
ple told ns that this waa no time fn'r
drives. The Alien Fleming. Jr., Post
told the people of Athens exartly what
the Red Cross was doing In this com
munity and In three days had raised
the necessary amount. The post does
not go into anything unless It Intends
to put It over. The people of this
community know this nnd when the
l egionnaires gel behind any move
ment the people are behind them.
John R. Northcutt, the newly elect
ed commander Is One of tho leading

"I believe we can get this conven
tion for Athens next year. Wo expect
to send a strong delegation down to
Columbus from our post and If we can
get the hacking of the citizens of Ath
ens, and 1 am sure wo can, I see'no
reason why we can not bring the state
convention to Athens In 1922.” said

interest, coming,, as it did. at a time
when the proba do altitude of the
United States ti wards the tenno po
litical situation Europe la arousing
lively speculatin' and aa the first au
thorized pxpresajnn of the American
viewpoint.
fie praised the work of the Pilgrim
society in eliminating misconstruction
and misunderstanding, and declared
people east of the United States de
rive Information respecting American
public opinion from the Atlantic sea
board’s groat cities, while peoplo west
of the United States take thelrn front
tbs border states. He declared the In
ferences drawn may be right or wrong,
but the "heart of our republic lies in
the great plain that stretches from
the Alleghanlca to the Rockies, wlier
rest, the dominant political power or
the nation.”
"Nothing could t be more futile, more
delusive, more mischievous," Harvey
said, "than to pretend that America's
offer of a helping hand was attributa
ble primarily to ‘tender susceptibility,'
It is not," Harvey continued, "my
country stands. igadjMp. wor(( with
yours, becailse, first it Is to our own
Interest to do so, and. secondly, be
cause It Is to tho advantage of both,"
Ho declared Americans don't resent
fcolng called Idealists, "but we've come
to realize In the past few year) that
Ideals too often resolve Into Illusions
and illusions wo have found to be
both dangerous and profitless."
Saying the United States sent sol
dlers "to save tho United States of
America, and most reluctantly and
laggardly at that," Harvoy added:
"We were not too proud to light,
whatever that may mean. We were
afraid not to light. That Is the real
truth of tho matter. So wo came
along toward the end and helped you
and your allies shorten the war. That
is ull we did and that's all w-> claim
to have done."
Harvey sharply Crushed aside any
lingering illusion that the United
States would have t ny relations what-
ever with the league of nations and,
dlscuszlng what he called a "senti
ment perilously piescnt," said that for
years he had heart! It proclaimed that
war between Great Britain and Amer
lea was Incon-elvable, but that no
resumption of any armed conflict Is
said to bo the most productive and
fertile In that section of tho state.
A herd ot several thousand sheep are
now being herded and It Is said that
many will bo shipped from Greece to
this country. Mr. Petropol, who Is
a native of Greece, has engaged an
experienced man In the manufacturing
of cheese from tho old country, who
will have charge of the big plant. Be
sides, Greece Js a great cheese coun
try and sheep by tho thousands can
bo bought there for nominal prices.
Tho manulacturlug of cheeso should
become one of the chlrf Industries In
the southern dates. Sheep raising
has been profitable in the south and
with an all-year-round season for pas
turage sheep can be ralstd In Georgia
and the south cheaper than In any
of the eastern and western states.
These gentlemen have practically
perfected tholr plans and it Is tinder
stood thst work will be commencod
shortly on the buildings.
Raising Foodstuffs.
Mr. Cruce has now In cultivation
sevet.il hundred acres In pumpkins.
It is understood* thft be ban comioc
lions In Chicago who have contracted
to tako hla entire crop and at a profit
able price. In addition be haa nnder
cultivation many acres In peas, Irish
potatoes, swoet potatoes and onions
all of which will Itnd a ready market
this fall. Ho haa reduced hla cotton
acreage over 80 per cent and Is de
voting hla acreage to producing food
stuffs.
If all the farmers In the cotton belt
slat’s would follow the lead of Mr.
Cruce, the southern states would he
i he most prosperous section of the
nation.
By order of President Hardtng, the
business of government will come to
a standstill Saturday when the body
Is carried lo Its final resting place
in Oak Hill cometery, at Georgetown.
The funeral rervlces will lie private,
but tbe American itag, wherever It
floats, at home or abroad, will be at
half-mast for thirty days. All govern
ment departments In Washington will
be closed Saturday.
