WILSON TO MAKE SUPREME EFFORT TO SAVE TREATY. President Is Writing Vigorous A Message to Congress and May Make Dramatic Personal Ap pearance. Wasliingh e. President Wi’anr within ten days wiil make his su pieme effort to end inroads of thi Bolsheviki into America’s social structure and make the United States a member of the League of Nations. Shaking off the illness which has clung to him for weeks, the presi dent today was working vigorous ly on two state documents which be intends shall be he most compel ling of his entire career. One of these is the message to congress to b 6 delivered December 1. and the other the message to the industrial commission, called to bring about peace between labor and capital, which probably Avill convene here the same day that congress meets. President Wilson is writing a! strong appeal to congress to again take up and ratify the peace treaty it was learned. Knowing the situa tion in the senate, he is not devot ing any time to phrasing denuncia tion of the opposition leader’s, it was understood, but instead he is preparing an argument which the administration hopes will bring about a compromise and speedy ratification. If it doesn’t then the president is ready to see the fight carried into the 1920 national elec tion in which, however, he will not participate beyond urging voters regardless of party affiliations, to demonstrate they want the United Sates to join the League of Na tions. The address to the industrial commission of seventeen, includ ing Secretary of Labor Wilson, v ill place the industrial future of America squarely in the hands of thos| men. imposing upon them the responsibility for bringing peace and stopping the progress of Red doctrine in this country, it was learned. i SHI Bit OOCIOIS Don’t Forget the Great Land Sale on Next Tuesday December 2nd, of the J.

Be there next Tuesday and buy you a beautiful lot or two. TERMS; 1-2 CASH, and balance in 12 months at 8 per cent interest. LAMAR & PERRY President Wilson is anxious to go before congress and deliver his message in person and he also wants to make a personal appear ance at the first session of the in dustrial commission and have a “man to man” talk with the dele gates. This is opposed by his physi cians, who feel it is out of the question for him to undergo so se vere a nervous strain when he is scarcely out of his sick bed. The president, however, lias been known to be very stubborn on oc casion and he asserts his own health is nothing compared with success in the treaty fight. There fore it is believed it will be hard to keep him in the White House on December 1. A dramatic ap pearance of the executive before congress to make one more effort to secure ratification of what he considers his life’s greatest work would not surprise his friends here. BETTER COUNTRY SCHOOLS A FUNDAMENTAL NEED If one has children, it goes with out saying that there is nothing more important for them than nearness to a thoroughly efficient school. Your child has only one life to live. What a tragedy if lie should go through life with only his physical nature developed but not his more godlike mind and soul! Equally important is a good school to the community as a whole. Othr people judge a neigh borhood by the character of school it supports. Moreover, the pre sence of a good school gives the citizens greater pride in themsel- vcs and greater confidence in themslves. Taxes spent for the maintenance of a good school con stitute not an expenditure but an investment. How often does one find in special tax districts some farm whose owner violently op posed the extra school tax, but whose land almost doubled in val ue because of the better school the THE BARROW TIMES, WINDER, GEORGIA tax brought! There is hardly a community in the South where the school is poor that has not lost some good citizen for this reason. Similarly, there is hardly a com munity with a good school in which that school has not attract ed one or more good citizens to the neighborhood. To farmers as a class also, good country schools are of the highest importance. Farmers have not heretofore had a square deal from the Government, and the only way they can propertly remedy this condition is by education. An ig norant people may rise up in an ger and bring about a revolution; but while an ignorant people may destroy, they cannot rebuild. Rus sia today seems to be a living wit ness of this fact. An ignorant peo ple has destroyed an old govern ment. but is not able to set anew system which will insure peace and prosperity. A seeing Samson could destroy his enemies and save himself, but a blind Samson could only pull down the temple on him self and his enemies in one gener al ruin. So it is when a people are blind through ignorance. For all these reasons every read er should think seriously about the important tilings needed to make his neighborhood school serve the great purpose it ought to serve in enriching the lives of our children, building up the com munity. and promoting the inter ests of farmers as a class. —The Progressive Farmer 7,577,826 BALES OF COTTON GINNED.
