*_ Have you given any more thought
to the hoard of trade your community
_needs? ‘The Dispatch never intends
10 cease calling on you to join your
buginess neighbor in concerted action
for local business advantages. There
are many community needs for su«-!fl
an organization.
You should do your part this week
by the committee looking for Armen
fan relief funds. This money goes to
supplying food and clothing for Ihoi
famine stricken sections of Armenia
“and Syria. Your money is ncolI(-(Li
You would not begin to hang back if
those hungry peaple were in Hll(ih‘
near proximity as to make it poasihlel
for you to see their suffering. Do
something.

Look at the muddle we are in with
government operation of the r:lih'mulh‘;
Enormous expenses are going on mnll
business earnings are dropping sIu:uII
ily. The earnings last year were
370,000,000 less than in 1916 and a
quarter billion less than in 1917, We
have the promise of even less earn
ings in 1919, No wonder Bill McAdoo
sought rest and financial rm-xuwr:\-J
tion, ‘
Cotton has dropped fourteen cents
ptnce September. Unsettled general
trade and labor conditions—if you
can figure that out, seem to he the
# cause, We should remember, th()ughl
cotton movement to the ('un.\\nm‘rs}
the world over has not started, \\'vj
know there will be a Dbetter (lu-‘:
mand foritg but can that de
mand overthrow the nervous and un
settled labor and industrial reaction?
; BUILDING IS VITAL.
Reconstruction plans of the Depart
ment of Labor provide for America
' perhaps the greatest development of
; public works and housing ever pro
jected.
} A greater and better America is the
; Object of this vast campaign. The
‘ building program contemplated hy
! the department will mean a transition
t from war to a peace basis; it will fur
i nish employment for a large numbers
] of the men to he demobilized from the
‘jAl'xll_\' and war industries; and it
I will stand, after the readjustment is
: completed, as a monument to Ameri
' can labor and enterprise. It will mean
i a tremendous addition to the materiag
; wealth of the country and to its pub
{ lic resources.
' States and cities are being encour
' aged to put full steam ahead on their
plans for betterment held up nearly
two years as a result of the war. Pri
" vate builders are urged to begin their
work at once. The average working
man, who has been steadily employved
during the war probably has more
money than ever before, and now is
the time for him to begin an invest
ment in a home. s
Building, in short, is an important
part of the Government's plan for
peace. Stopped during the war, this
industry ig far behind its normal con
dition.
Nearly every town and city in the
country needs new building; nearly
every city in the country needs new
liouses, The people of Am(.:rivu have
been living in close quarters., They
must have more air, more sunlight,
more green fields, more natural free
dom.
Plans are under way to create de
wands for homes, to start work on
public buildings and {o encourage pri
vate building on a large scale,
Everyone can cooperate in this
great task. It is a job for the business
man the workers, everybody in the
comimunity,
Reconstruetion must be made liter
al, the Department of Labor belicves
There must be reconstruction of that
which is antiquated and obsolete, and
new cohstruction to supply the Na
tion's need of new homes,
Wur-time labor requirements made
new building, except upon Govern
ments works, out of the question, and
as a resnlt America’s population is
lHving ifi too close quarters, Moreover
the cessation of building lhas caused
inereases in rents until they have be
come in many places absolutely ex
orbitant,
FFor the national good, this retarda
tion in the normal housing program
‘must be more than made up. In mak
ing it up, there will he created a need
fer labor that will assure employment
to the men who have been fighting so
bravely to make the world safe for
democracy, :
More than a resumption of building
operations is sought. An extension of
the program so inclusive that it will
include the erection of every huilding
that is needed everywhere, the prose
cution of public work, the erection of
public buildings, and the construction,
above all, of homes.
Unity is as essential in this cam
paign as it was in winning the war.
The Nation must be united in support
of a program that will supply its
greatest need and at the same time
minimize the difficulties of transition
from war times to the normal organi
zation of the country.
“Keep industry humming” is the
aim of the Government. If every man
takes a hand in the building campaign
the Department of Labor believer,
this aim will be made good 2
ABOUT BOARD OF TRADE
Editor Cordele Dispateh:
I want to commend you for your ef
forts to organize a live and progres
sive Chamber of Commerce or Board
of Trade for Cordele and also 1 want
to add that 1 believe vour efforts dis
couraging the plinting o f so much
cotton and to raise more peanuts
next season are intelligent and the
only safe thing for our farmers to do.
Along this line I want to suggest
that should a Chamber of Commerce
be organized that the first move they
‘muko is to secure a small pea-nut oil
refining plant and a peanut butter
factory for Cordele and this section
Of course, the two plants mentioned
are unknown to the average man in
this country but we all do know that
other cities far seperated from the
Ipr;mmt raising sections have such
‘(‘nlx‘rpl'ist‘s and that our Crisp County
;grm\'n pea-nuts are shipped to distant
cities and there made into butter and
Ivrushml and refined into cooking oil
}und then shipped back to Cordele the
consumer paying the freight two ways
and another city getting the benefit
[of all profits and pay-rolls.
I Unless something is done to bring
!nmnut‘.lcl\n'urs to Cordele our little
lvin will remain like one of the small
;st:lrs—»<\l\\-;n_\'s bright but small, and
small indeed, as compared with some
!uf our sister cities that are awake
l\\‘ith a strong board of trade inviting
foreign capital to invest with them.

I THE CAUTIOUS TREATMENT
l There is a recurring touch of influ
‘l‘lll'.l in this section of the country.
[ Our community had every cause to be
[Hieve the worst has passed, but ap-
Ppalling speed has attended cases
which Lave developed lately and the
critical stage has heen reached be
fore the patient even knew he was
really ill.
The Dispatch certainly can do no
harm adviging people to be on guard
as never before. An hour is a great
while to give to a casge of influenza
to work unattended and unchecked.
A day is nearly sure pneumonia and
pneumonia is the next door neighbor
to death. Quick treatment must be
had, Since the physicians have been
given a little time, unnecessary delay
need not occeur in treating influenga.
The less delay, the less the danger.
People who keep their system in
passing good shape , the liver and
bowels open and going, have marked
ly lighter attacks than people who
are already burdened with billious
systems, This ought to he remember
ed. But by this we do not mean that
any one should overdose where it is
not necessary. Caution and prompt
action with the exercise of plain com
mon sense will save most cases from
the critical stages. 1t is never safe to
try to handle this illness without the
family physician.
