The labor situation is one of the Morious problems con
fronting the world at this time.
100.000 people are involved in the {treat Belfast strike ami
its entire social life is paralyzed.
Bolshevist propaganda and Bolshevist agitators ought to
be silenced if the world is to become normal again and civiliza
tion advance.
The house immigration committee has unanimously agreed
to prohibit iminigration for four years after the war except Irom
Cuba. Mexico, Cauda and Newfoundland.
I)r. Brown Ayres, president of the* I niversity of iennes
sce. died at bis home in Knoxville Tuesday. He was one of the
leading educators of the south.
The war revenue bill, upon which congress has boon work
ing for the past six months is nearing its final completion,
tJic conference committee of the two houses having agreed upon
Rosa Luxemburg, who was reported to have been shot ami
killed in Berlin on January 15, is said to be alive and at the
house of a friend where she is concealed until an opportunity to
escape from Germany.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is on the rigid line in making a
fight against the immodest dress and painted faces of the girls
on the streets. City pride would impel us to object to that
paper having a reporter visit Winder. w
The farmers and cotton men are holding meetings all over
Georgia to try and down the bears who are making a desper
ate effort to force cotton down and rob the farmers of their
rights.
Some men who ought to be lauding the president and stand
ing loyally by him in his efforts for a lasting peace are doing
all they can to retard his efforts and weaken his influence. Such
men are worth little to their country and ought not to be rec
ognized as leaders or statesmen. • -! f*'

4>' If cotton could go to 35 cents per pound and every man
sell at that price the south would blossom like the rose and
business in all lines would boom. If it han to sell at the present
price there will not be much prosperity and ginger to make
things hum.
There seems to be a lack of true devotion these days be
tween man and wife and disregard for the sanctity of home.
No married man nor woman can lead a double life. It is only
a question of time when it will be discovered and then a tragedy
takes place. Tin* lines of the poet are ever true:
“Know then this truth, enough for man to know,
Virtue alone is happiness here below."
A LITTLE FARM.
The Him* is rapidly coming when it will lx* a difficult mai
ler for tlu* man without a farm to get one.
Land lias gone from five and six to forty and seventy-five
dollars per acre during tlu* period from 1904 to 11)18. This
has reference to average values. Some farm lauds which could
have boon bought twelve years ago for five and six dollars will
now sell for eighty and one hundred.
Every man should make a desperate effort to own a little
home—to have a farm he can call his own. Forty, fifty or
tine hundred acres is enough for most men, and then make it
a fertile and valuable farm, one that will be attractive and have
all of the conveniences which the word home implies.
Land may now seem high to you and out of your reach,
but in fifteen or twenty years it will be three or four times
as high its the present price, and you, who now put off ami ne
glect. to buy a little farm, where* you can spend your declining
years and lx* free and independent, will see your error of judg
ment when it is too late.
The Harrow Times would like to possess the power of lan
guage* to that extent it could say something to indelibly impress
tin* importance of every man in America owning a little* farm
and making that farm the ele*are*st ami sweetest spot to him
on earth.
A FEARFUL EPIDEMIC.
Nothing has aver struck our country that so dumbfounded
the laity and the medical profession as the fearful epidemic
of influenza now raging and which is no respecter of persons.
The rich and poor, tin* high and low are all alike affected and
most every family in all the land has had it as an unwelcomed
visitor.
Sometimes we think that it is one of the terrible scourges
sent on the world for its ingratitude and forget fulness of <3od.
Humanity has always proved ungrateful in all ages, not only to
the great Ruler of the Universe, hut to those who have tried
to better human kind in all tin* various walks of life and who
have sacrificed themselves for others.
We so soon forget the horrors, that at the time almost crush
us, and think only of ourselves and of our own selfish interests.
The most terrible of all wars, which ceased hardly three
months ago. has about been forgotten by many already and the\
are not thankful enough to hold bade criticism of those who
had the responsibility of directing us to victory and who are now
trying to perfect a just, righteous and permanent peace. We
like to find fault, grumble and criticise instead of being thank
ful.
In many towns the churches have gone back to the dark
days of the war and instituted a prayer hour, praying for those
stricken by the plague of influenza that is sweeping over the
country. There is much efficacy in the prayers of devout and
sincere Christians and it stems that if ever there was a time
when the people ought to approach the Almighty and bog for
help and mercy that time is now. The trouble with most of us
is that our prayers are not very effective because we never pray
until trouble comes to us.

(\ H. S. DEFEATS WINDER
22 to 12 WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON.
By Our Sporting Editor
A fast and snappy game was
staged on the Winder court,
Wednesday afternoon when W.
11. S. encountered the most
skilled opponents she has yet
played.
Covington had a fast team
and the Red and Black went
down to the White and Blue
in a score of 22 to 12.
The local boys did some clever
and fast work.
Harrison, Radford and Ed
wards deserve mention for
••(•onspicious work in action.”
Harrison’s opponent not scor
ing a goal throughout the game.
The whole Winder team
comes in for applause, for the
splendid fight she put up
against the White and Blue.
The Covington boys have a
pass work which is not far
from perfect, and with their
heavier team outmatched the
local boys.
Although the Red and Black
look forward to a more perfect
team work, to-day’s game is a
smudge on the record.
But here’s hopes for a better
work next time.
Covington High should be
proud of the splendid team
that represents her —they are a
clean bunch of sportsmen.

NEW YORK LIFE
INSURANCE CO.
’Tis an adage old
That will hear repeating:
“The proof of the pudding
Is in the eating.
The New York Life Insurance Company has
Paid over one-eighth of all death losses,
More than one-sixth of the total assets,
About one-seventh of the total liabilities,
More than one-fourth of the total surplus,
More than one-tenth of the total insurance
in force,
Paid over one-sixth of all dividends, and
At on ONE-FOURTEENTH of all the total
expense.
This is why people prefer to carry their in
surance in the New \ork Life, and h\, af
ter gettting the first policy, they apply again
and again for further insurance tor the pro
tection of “Mary and the babies,” their bus
iness interests, or their own old age.
Our policies carry disability benefits from dis
ease or accidents as well as double indemnity
benefits.
