During Tifton’s early days he made his home here for some time, going from Tifton to Sylves ter in the early '80’s, where he took over the publication of the Worth County Local. He moved his paper from Sumner to Sylvester in 1898, and a few years later sold his inter ests there. He was a brother of B. T. Allen, who established the Gazette in 1891. It was the writer’s good fortune to know Walter Allen intimately for many years, and for two years he was associated with him in the publication of his paper at Sylvester. It was this acquaintance that gave opportunity to ap preciate his many admirable qualities and to know the man for his true worth. He was sincere in his religious convictions, true and loyal as a friend, and essentially pro gressive 1 and public-spirited.

Planters in this section say seed peas are hard to find, even at prevailing prices. It is difficult to understand why more farmers do not save their seed peas. Last fall labor was scarce and the latter part of the season unfavorable tdr harvesting, but seed peas were not'saved in past years, when these conditions did not prevail. For some reason, the average grower prefers to'give all his time to his open cotton, let his peas rot or go to the hogs, and buy seed from his dealer next spring. For a long time the same practice prevailed with seed oats, but now the great majority of the farmers in this sectidta save their seed bats. We suppose after awhile they will save their seed peas, as did their fa thers many years ago. This, with other good things, will come with diversified farming.

Nobody has a word to say about the gentleman's choice in,literature; but when it comes to the right to be idle, this part of the country declines to give up one of its dearest privileges.

From June 8th to June 14tb, (Flag Day) is to be observed throughout the United States as Boy Scout Week. This nation-wide campaign, which is under the management of William G. McAdoo, was recommended to the people of the United States by proclamation of the President First. To secure a million associate members of the National Council. Second. Tb secure a definite recogni tion of the effective service rendered by the Boy Scouts of America. Third. To make a survey of the facts relating to the boyhood of each commun ity in order that with the co-operation of churches, schools, and other organisa tions definitely engaged in work for boys r adequate provision may be made for ex tending the Boy Scout program to i larger proportion of American boyhood. Of all the numerous “drives" that have been made since the war began, few have been of such importance as thia— none so far-reaching (if carried to suc cess and kept going) in permanent good to the world. The reformation of bad men ia difficult and uncertain: to keep them from going wrong, beginning while they are boys, is much easier. All good citizens, especially parents and teachers, are begged to give their heartiest support, their most loyal efforts to this work. By those who have nevei looked into this Boy Scout work it is regarded as child’s play—like playing at being soldiers, or something of that kind but is it likely that the leading men of the world would be going into that kind of thing, and the President of the United States issuing a proclamation about it? One way to make the world safe for Democracy—-safe for all time—is to make eitixena who will appreciate that condition of the world: there ia no surer Way to do that outside of the home than by encouraging, helping in every possible way, the Boy Scouts. Members of the Red Cross are urged to give their support to this campaign. It is asked that a special committee be organised in each community. The chair man of each chapter is asked to furnish to the local Boy Scouts Committee the ames of Red Cross members who might « willing to assist in this work. F. C. Munroe, General Manager, says: We feel sure that nothing i« more im portant at this critical period in the his tory of the Nation than the installation of sound ideas in the minds of our boys and young men. On this account our Chapters should welcome the opportunity to give this movement all the publicity and assistance that they can properly undertake." Who can doubt the truth of this, and who, convinced of it, could withhold help? Then organize, get into line, and work with all your might and main.

(By Mail.)—German business preparing to accept the challenge of European and American industry to commercial battle for the world’s mar kets. the moment peace is signed, accord ing to information here. Two great rival German manufacturers’ associations united recently in the “Im perial Association of German Industries’ ‘coucentrate all forces of German economic life." Before the war South America was one of Germany’s most profitable markets, and it is expected the Germans will try win back what they have lost. German chemical firms are planning a campaign of “peaceful penetration" to regain part of the monopoly they enjoyed previous to 1914. The chemical commit tee of the German demobilization office and ministry of agriculture has arranged 1919 program for production of 70 per cent of the normal output of fertilisers. Since the blockade stopped German exportation, American and Allied coun tries of Europe have been compelled to build up giant chemical industries of their own, and these sources are now suc cessfully supplying Germany’s former customers. From the desert regions of Arizona and the mountainous rim of the Imperial Valley in California, American companies are drawing large quantities of potash and other chemicals equally as good as Germany’s. Many of these depos its have been discovered and exploited entirely as a result of the withdrawl of German products needed by American in dustry. German factories are feverishly hurry ing back to peace basis. Krupps plants e already turning out machinery which being sold in Holland for a price with which Dutch manufacturers cannot com pete. Advices from The Hague declare the machinery is disposed of below actual cost of production. Throughout the war German plants maintained their production of iron and steel goods at peace figures—despite the loss in imports of ores according to the Anglo-American Trade Journal. Several new German foreign trading companies—export and import—have been organized recently. Hamburg business men, it is reported here, believe that the loss of the German merchant marine may mean for Germany virtual loss of her world trade. W. E.
