S e y “‘-—fl'\ I | “—hA_h o There are rumors that a demo cratic Germany may bhe yet a specta cle for the world to gaze upon, It would be some spectacle, Separate dealings with the German government in a move for peace will cease in this country. This is the word which comes from the president The Americans were on the necks of their adversaries yesterday and the day need quite a consideml./: gain for our troops. No peace with the Kaiser and his war lords either now or later,—that gounds much like the language we would have used if we were doing the fighting. | The British went after the enémy for quite a econsiderable gain in the night by attacking under a new method. Of late the British have proven themselves masters in every tight place. The note writing is meaning very grave injury to the cause of the al lies. There ougth not to be another word said to the Germans except as directed by the military authorities in charge of the drive against them, Much farm land is being sold and is changing hads about this section The word always goes that it brought good prices, No prices that have been received for lands in Crisp coun ty for the past few years have been good prices, These lands will be go ing at $150.00 an acre before five“ more years have passed. 7 The young man who goes to this war to fight for his country, because he realizes that it is his duty, will be one of the heroes of the days to come. The slacker will have nothing in af ter years but a life full of explana tions that will be hard to make, and the young man who goes because he has ty go, can never proud of his pa triotism unlés he cultivates it to a mu-h higher degree. ‘ The Interstate Commerce Commis sion talked quite as if they were a bit larger than Director Bill McAdoo in the matter of determining when a freight rate is fair or unfair. They still claim the right to change rates, even without a showing as to wheth they are unjust, and that body inti mates that it will go on making chan ges when they deem them necessary. The Germans are strangely silent about what they intend to do with old Russia. They are apparently at the task of helping Austria dispose -of that part of Poland which has been over run, It will soon be time to tell what is in store for that portion of Russia which has been over run in the same manner. BAKER WAS AT HOME Enlisted men of the American Ar my grinned sympathically as they watched the American Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, trudging !ba(-k and forth carring the heavy }pack of the American soldiers, on his ‘back, when he visited a camp of American soldiers in the Winchester district while in England. The men were adjusting their cumbersome kits when the Secretary arrived at the camp. “I would like to try of them,” said the Secretary to the sergeant, The Lord Mayor of Winchester, the camp cemmandant and group of sol diers all gathered about as Mr. Bak er lifted the pack and adjusted it to his shoulders. Then he trudged back and forth two or three times carry ing the seventy pound load kit, bang ed against his legs. “It’s heavy, alright,” he commented as he unburdened himself, “but not 50 leavy as the Frenchman’s pack. I tried one of them on a few days ago and it gave me an additional re spect for the Frenchman as a soldier, The Secretary made himself at liome and was friendly with the sol diers. Everywhere he carried his pipe nd several times filled it from some soldiers pouch as he engaged in a ca sual chat with the men. “The whole country is behind you with every thing it possesses,” “was one of his frequent messages to the fighting men. In the Red Cross hospitals the Secretary went through the wards and had a few cheery words for each of the patients. : In some of the camps he dropped in upon the soldiers at mess time and lunched with the big crowd of them in the mess tents beside a little wood land stream. He looked through scores of barracks and living quar ters, He inspected kitchens and spent | ten minutes watching soldiers play ing a scrub game of basball, His in spection of the Red Cross activities was comprehiensive., He saw the bath ing houses in (;peration with © long lines of rain-coated soldiers waiting their turn at the showers. He saw the dental huts, with the Red Cross den tists busy at their work. He visited several Red Cross recreation huts and listened to the Red Cross brass bands at practice. At one camp he found his cousin, Sergeant Harry Chiswell of Cleve land and chatted with him for ten minutes. Altogether the Secretary gained an excellent impression of what the American Army authorities have done in prepararing comfortable and sanitary camps for the soldiers in the Winchester district, south of London, in preparation for the winter l ATTEND THIS MEETING Mr. Editor: columns to invite the eetaahrdlhrdl Please permit me through your col lumns to invite the people of the state i to attend the convention of coton seed Producers and business men general -Iy, to be held in the hall of the house of Representatives at the Capitol, At anta, at 2:30 p. m., Tuesday, October 20th. I The deplorable conditions in the cot ton seed industry can be remedied only by determined organized effort. While the producer has been silent, the mills, through their organization lknown as the Cotton Seed Crushers 'Assm‘iatinn. have eagerly co-operat ed with the Food _Administration, fmore or less editing the information fupnn which prices have been stabiliz ed. i As federal Food Administrator, Mr. ‘llnovor's only desire is to serve the ‘best interests of the American peo ‘plv. In stabilizing the prices of cot ton seed and their products, he will naturaliy welcome the patriotic co operation of the producers, and all the information they can give him. To furnish this co-operation and in formation, to aid the Foood Adminis tration in preventing waste and ex ‘citation, the producers of Georgia have organized. This organization must be extended to other states, and must be permanent. | It is the greatest importance that ‘the patriotic citizens of Georgia at tend the Atlanta convention on Oct. t:}flth. .

He uses it more effecti ely than the rifle and understands it better. ' —— It was sabotage which over threw ;Emperor Nicholus, The Kerensky pro ;vislonal government succumbed to Isabotage. In neither cause was there ian extensive military character to the ‘movement which gave Russia a new ‘government. And now the weapon which the Bol sheviki and their supporters of the extreme left used on previous govern ments has been turned against them. In the food situation, on the railways in various government bureaus, in public service organizations of all sorts, among bankers, business and professional men, and even among peasants the government encounters hindrance and gbstruction of a type which cannot be punished and stamp ed out. : | Commigsar Tsurupa, who lis in !’(:harge of the national food supply |recently stated in a speech that 1500 perosns in his department alone had retained positions fo:' months and pre tended to work, when they were in reglity doing all they could to hind er the food administration. Trosky, Lenine and other Bolshe vik speakers and agitators have made the the most of the sabotage directed against them by loudly proclaiming in all sections of Russia that the dis order they inherited from the Keren sky reime and the operation directed against them by enemies within the government, as well as outside, has prevented the oviet republic from bet tering the food situation and getting commerce and industry back into uormal channels. This view was accepted by the la boring masses very generally for some time, but after eight months of the Bolshévik républic it is apparant that the laboring men are no longer willing to accept abuse of 'various anti-Bolshevik factiens as a complete excuse for the deplorable lack of food The loss of the Ukraine grain sup ply and the cutting off of the Sibe rian wheat stores by the Czecho-Slov aks stand forth so plainly that the dullest '\\;'o;k"r’nen reads the handwit ing*on the wall, Without grainfields he understands there cannot be grain And the promise of bread through grain crusades made by armed forces do not impress him when he rcalize; that the porton of Russian remuiningj within the jurisdiction of the soviet } republic does not contain enough grain to feed the republic’s population 2ven if every bushel were under gov ernmen control and carefully dis tributed. l o RTG AT %, e B ; 7 ¥ @ . o GLS X 8 ’ > BOLL WEEVIL KILLERS Bury Your CottoniStalks Deep and the - Weevil Cannot Thrive on Them This plow does the work and no land is ‘ too gummy or sticky for it to shed.

No other development in luman ”history has shown so remarkable re ;sults as has flying in the last ten years, says Lord Montagu of Beau ‘lieu, a British scientist and aviation expert. «When the Wright brothers visit ed Europe ten years ago, “he said, “the airplane engines were of 24-hor se power. Today they are of 750 horse power in some cases, and the air plane’s carrying capacity has increas ed from about 126 pounds to 3 1-2 tons. S e “Ten thousand feet was then the highest flight. Today we are doing 26,000. And while forty miles as hour was then the highest speed, today we are approaching 160. “The British army in France began with only 36 planes. I may not give the number today, but it is huge.” Long flights-to and from America, for instance-—would be possible after the war, Lord Montagu said, adding that he himself hoped some day to LOOK OUT FOR YOUR COTTON SEED MEAL Look out for your cotton seed meal for Spring fertilizer re quirements! Whether you buy from us or not we advise you to seeure your requirements at once. ’ . Ammoniates of every kind are going to be very hard to get. The large fertilizer concerns are very anxious buyers-of cotton seed meal, in fact, they are taking all that is offered them. Our (fovernment has asked us to give our local customers an oppor- - tunity to get their requirements locally, to avoid as far as possible the double hauling and handling that necessarily has to be done - where our local people fail to get their meal before it is all shipped away. o : It is our purpose to put you in possession of the faets, and we trust yoir will avail yourself of the opportunity. Our Covernment, in addition to asking us to give you a chance to buy your meal locally, has asked us to finance ourselves locally. To do this we will have to ship our produets as made. We cannot secure sufficient funds to carry the stocks that we have been in the habit of carrying, therefore, it will be unwise to put off buying your meal. We believe a word to the wise is sufficient. W. S. ROBERTS, Local Mgr. fi ; CORDELE, GEORGIA. A fly to India. For long-distance flying however, he continued, it would be necessary to evolve g silent engine, for the public would not be willing to take lengthy trips in noisy airplanes. . A soldier and His Wife A young man in Tifton had been married for several years when he !registered in 1917. He was support iing himself and his wife by his daily labor. The local board put him in Class 4, which released him from ser vice. But he felt the call to the front, volunteered, and his wife quit keeping house and went to work for wages to support herself while he was away. He is now in France, ‘and this week his wife bought a Liberty Bond, which she will pay for out of her - earnings. We mention this to show that when you begin to do the right thing it is easy to keep doing more.—Tifton Gazette. TOEACCO WAREHOUSE Fitzgerald, Ga., October 23—J. L.
