THE GREATEST POSSIBLE ECON

Now for business!
“Bunk” Cooper also ran.
Congratulations to the winners.
Don’t forget to say a word for that
ice factory.
It’s all over but the shouting—and
the gnashing of teeth.
Georgia is all right in spite of an
occasional political outburst.
Beer must go on December 1 and
the nation goes on a “dry” basis on
July 1, 1&19.
It will be two years before the
state is afflicted with another cam
paign. Let’s Rive thanks.
The recent cool weather in the
midst of a hot political' campaign is
hard to explain. Maybe, though,
Prof. Snider can unravel it.
THE JACKSON PROCRESS-ARGUS. JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IS, 1918
LETTERS FROM SOLDIERS
The Pro press -Argu s is always glad
to publish letters from the soldiers,
eitheri in the camps in this country
or from “over there.” We have oc
casional inquiries to know if there
is any charge for publishing these let
ters. There is no charge of any knid,
but instead the paper is glad to pub
lish these letters from the men in
the ranks.
A number of men in service receive
this paper regularly. It is, indeed,
like a “letter from home,” and they
appreciate the paper to the fullest
extent. Publication of these letters
serves to keep the people at home in
touch with the soldiers and the war.
The letters should be of reasonable
length and be prepared for publica
tion by the elimination of all strictly
family of private matters. Prepared
in this form The Progress-Argus will
be glad to publish any number of the
soldier letters.
OUGHT TO BE PERMANENT
Since the new order of the fuel ad
ministration went into effect, request
ing citizens to save gasoline on Sun
days, it is safe to say that Sunday
has been observed more sanely and
religiously than before in ten years.
The Sabbath has taken on somehthing
of its old time sacredness and quiet
ness. Really, it has become the best
day of the week.
Heretofore Sunday has been a day
of joy-riding, of speeding, of trips
planned in advance, of long pleasure
jaunts. Sunday was no longer a day
of rest. It was becoming the most
strenous day of the seven in the week
It would be a good thing for the
moral and religious life of the people
if the gasoline saving order were
made permanent. This great world
war should bring us all back to our
senses, back to first principles, back
to a reverence for things sacred. Un
less this is done much of the suffer
ing and sacrifices will have been m
vain.
EXCHANGES NECESSARY
(Dalton Citizen)
A great deal of misinformation has
been disseminated with reference to
the regulations of the War Industries
Board in connection v*ith newspapers.
The board of course, is urging econo
my and the cutting off of all free cop
ies and useless exchanges, and this is
as it should be.
Sometime ago The Citizen elimina
ted from its list some fifty or more
exchanges that were not really neces
sary in conducting its business. These
exchanges were appreciated and wel
come visitors, and when times are
again normal we hope to be able to
resume the pleasant pre-war relation
ship.
The Citizen has never understood
for a moment that the War Industries
Board meant to deny a newspaper the
privilege of exchanging with another
newspaper, because this exchange is
absolutely essential in producing a
newspaper.
The Gainesville Herald, having
doubts about the ruling of the War
Industries Board, referred the matter
to the Postoffice Department, and
asked for a ruling. The ruling came
very promptly, and is to the effect
that “bona fide exchanges, one copy
for another, are regarded as sent to
subscribers.” This is sensible and
reasonable, and we are quite sure the
War Industries Board need have no
fear that legitimate newspapers will
abuse the exchange privilege.
In very truth the newspapers could
secure all the papers they want by
simply exchanging: checks; that is,
The Citizen being desirious of having
on its exchange list, for example, The
Cobb County Times could mail The
Times its check for a year’s subscrip
tion. Then The Cobb County Times
could mail The Citizen a check for
the like amount for a year’s sub
scription. There is nothing to such a
procedure except a lot of red tape
and foolishness, and no one would ex
pect the Postoffice Department or
War Industries to make a ruling
whereby swapping of checks would
become necessary in order to secure
a needed exchange.
Therefore, it is interesting to note
that he government is agreeable to a
legitimate exchange. As stated above,
there is no danger of legitimate pa
pers abusing this privilege, because of
he high cost of everything that enter”
into the production of newspapers.
Self-preservation is the watch-word,
and economy must be practiced rigid
ly in order to avoid bankruptcy.
SHALL WE HATE GERMANS?
(Manufacturers Record)
Well, that depends upon your defi
nition of hate. Do you hate the blood
sucking tiger that kills your~ child?
Do you hate the rattlesnake that
strikes its fangs into your wife?
Do you hate the murderer who
kills your mother and the brute who
outrages your daughter?
Is it hate that prompts you to kill
such fiends in defense of your loved
ones, or is it merely a determination
to rid the world of them, knowing
that in so doing you are protecting
all humanity?
Germany embodies the blood lust
of the tiger, the deadly fangs of the
rattlesnake, the cruelty of the mur
derer and the beastly nature of the
outrager—and by science prostited
to such vile ends.
Christ prayed for those who cruci
fied Him, saying, “ they know not
what they do,” but Germans know
full well exactly what they are doing.
They gloried in preparing for war,
they gloried in its atrocities, and no
one can ever pray for them on the
ground that they did not know what
they were doing. And prayer for
them must be on some other ground.
It may be in order to ask if you
have our coal for this winter. If not,
you had better get to scuffling around
for some wood.
The defeated candidates are re
spectfully reminded that the work or
fight law is now in effect. Let them
get busy at something useful.
The country is still safe in spite
of all the racket kicked up by the
Now for wjnnmg the
war. That’s more important than pol
itics and politicians
You may never smell powder in the
present war, but even the stay-at
homes will have somewhat of a fight
by the time all the new taxes are
paid. Get ready to dig up.
Newspapers are given until Octo
ber 1 to place their subscription on a
cash basis. Remember this when you
are selling cotton and drop in and
pay up and thus help the newspapers
comply with the government’s order.
Even the talk of price fixing had a
disturbing effect on the price of cot
ton. The government ought to fix
the price or let it alone. The drop of
sls a bale caused by talk of price fix
ing came out of the farmers’ pocket.
The man who has gone through
he present campaign without a brain
storm is to be congratulated. The
man who kept his head level "will have
les s to regret now that the campaign
of bittemss is over.
The Germans are now tearing down
the statues of the ka’ser and con
verting them into war material. If
they would only take the kaiser and
convert him into soap they would fare
better.—Dalton Citizen.
Now that politics have been put
under the ban for two years people
of the state can turn their undivided
attention to help winning the war.
The third Liberty Loan will come off
in a few days, and following this will
be a campaign for the Y. M. C. A.
and other war work. Save up your
pennies There will be plenty of chan
ces to help win the war.
FEED OUT YOUR HOGS SIX
WEEKS EARLIER
In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
for the market six weeks
earlier and to save six weeks feed is
an item that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must be
in prime physical condition. The B.
A Thomas’ Hog Powder is a condi
tioner for hogs. It keeps their system
clean and healthy and enables them
to fatten quickly without falling prey
to the usual diseases of hogs. The B.
A. Thomas’ Hog Powder is not stock
food. It’s straight medicine and we
took the agency because it enables
you to feed out your hogs much ear
lier.
