Wonder if the hens ever get jealous
of the egg plants?
A woman asys that a man who
doesn’t drink, smoke, chew or cuss, is
a good husband. Good for what?
A lot of men who haven’t any sons
would be glad for their sons-in-law
to sacrifice their lives for the coun
try.
After we catch the Kaiser, let's pun
ish him by making him read the fun
ny papers to the children every Sun
day morning.
FYirty thousand Illinois soldiers are
being taught songs for them to sing as
they attack the enemy. If this doesn t
win the war, nothing will!
Fortunately, Congress didn’t know
the income of the nation was forty bil
lions a year. It would have appro
priated that, too.
Norway says none of its ships wese,
sank by submarines last week.
was probably due to the fact that Nor- |
way has no more left to sink.
We cannot understand why German'
sailors should mutiny. All they do is
eat three t'mes a day and sleep well
at night, hidden from all danger.
‘lt is Improper to pour your coffee,
in a saucer and blow on it.” says aj
writer on manners. Why, certainly— |
the proper way is to take your hat and
fan it!
Yon can keep an umbrella at your
office for two years, and it wjll never
rain, but just let somebody swipe itj
and there will be a downpour lasting
for ten days.
The Kaiser hardly celebrated Colum
bus Day. If Columbus hadn’t discov
ered America, the United States wou'd
not be in the war, and the Germans
would be dining in Paris.
The Tifton Gazette’s editorial on th
luscious sweet potato pie reminds us
that we have just tried a bone-dry |
mince pie, and hereafter we think we
will order lemon custard, or some
thing.
Two Chicago composers are disput
ing the authorship of the "Livery Sta

settled just which one wrote it, so
■■that he can be prosecuted.
tfkWVj remember the time when the.
clothes lines used to sag down with;
Song obtton garments trimmed in lace,
and red flannel, and inch-thick woole.i
stockings, and long, frilled petticoats,
but now if the line has a few flimsies
and lacy unmentionables and silk hose
that if rolled into a bundle could be
put into a purse, the washerwoman
had a hard week's work.

SEI EX REASONS FOR BUYING
.
BONDS.
1. A LOAN —You lend your money
at interest, you do not give it.
2. EASY PAYMENTS—A few dol
lars down buys a bond. Bankers and
employers everywhere arrange pay-]
ment of balance out df savings.
3. SUPERLATIVE SAFETY.—The
promise to give you your money back
a promise signed by all our 110,000,-
000 people, including the signature of
every multi-millionaire in America.
Your bond is like a mortgage on the
whole United States.
4. SAFE KEEPING Absolutely
safe in any honest banker's vault,
j safer anywhere than currency, for it
I is plainly a receipt for money you
have deposited in the Treasury of th
United States.
5. TAX FREE —No tax as long as
you live on any purchase not abovej
$5,000.
6. MARKET VALUE—You can sell
your bond, or borrow on it, on a
moment’s notice.
7. THE GOVERNMENT IS NO
RICHER—Than the people. It needs
the SSO of the average man. All pa
triots must help.
MARKETS FOR THE FARMERS.
Gradually, there is being created
in various parts of the state a steady
market for farm products.
Warehouses are being established
in more than a score of smaller towns j
and now the larger cities are affording:
the farmers an opportunity’ of dispos
ing of their products.
Savannah is conspicuous in this re
spect, by advertising to the world
the list of firms which are in the mar
ket for the things the farmers have
i to sell.
I The Savannah Board of Trade has
issued, and i s circulating, a pamph
let called “The Farmers’ Selling!
Guide.’ It gives a complete list of
I Savannah buyers of farm products.
These buyers want eggs, poultry, can
ned goods, peanuts, velvet beans, peas, >
sweet and Irish potatoes, fruits, corn,l
■ oats, sorghum seed, sunflower seed,!
cattle, sheep, swine, honey, wax, hides!
.and fur, perishable vegetables, hay, l
grain and velvet bean meal, syrup and
molasses. Full directions for shipping'
are also given. Particularly are the'
buyers going after home-canned goods,!
I for which there is now an increasing!
I popular demand.
When the farmers were first urged!
to diversify, they responded to a con-;
siderable extent, but many became dis-1
couraged when they were unable to
I dispose of what they ha’d raised. Now,
however, there ig no need for them to
hesitate. The merchants of Americus.'
for instance, are in the market for
practically everything listed by the Sa
vannah Board of Trade, and pay the!
| same market prices.
The creation of these markets is just!
one more way of bringing about an
emancipation from the one-crop slav
ery system. .The farmer can now raise
crops all the year ’round, with the
certainty that he will be able to sell
them. Even those who raise to pro
vide themselves often have a surplus,
for which they can find a prompt mar
ket demand. As for chickens and eggs,
there is no excuse for any man with a
space for a barnyard not to make pin
money for himself, or even a substan-!
tial profit.
’ Savannah is setting a pace that other j
u cities will not be slow to follow, andj
s that, for that matter, stimulate the
! j
in the smaller towns along
i the line of patronizing the farmers of j
Ithe'r own community.
A HERO IN GERMANY.
Hearst—Hardwick’s friend and de
fender the dinner guest of a Ger
man spy, the calumniator of President
Wilscn, and the publisher who deals
the government a Joab stab every time
he gets a chance, by advocating a
peace when the mere suggestion of
peace on such terms is’denounced by
Mr. Wilson as unwise and unpatriotic,
if not actually seditious—this same:
Hearst is now being acclaimed in Ger
many as “The Newspaper King,” and
as a real American who voices the
thought of the nation.
It is fitting that Hearst should thus
Jae honored in Germany, and we con
sider it a singular instance of thought
lessness on the part of the Germans
j.hat they are not according Hardwica'
the same distinction. If we were al
German, living in Germany, we would
jiropose that the Hearst and Hardwick
JMrthdays be made national holidays,
I tiiat schools be dedicated to them,
battleships named after them, and the
Iron Cross and a cartload of other j
medals be bestowed upon them for,
their valiant services to “Der Father
land.”
It will be recalled that England
erected a monument to Benedict Ar
nold!
American soldiers in France are go
ing to be allowed to vote; they can
buy Liberty bonds and pay for them
out of their salaries, and they are be
ing called the baseball scores. Let's
join the army and go to France.

NO NEED FOR IT IN GEORGIA.
The Times-Recorder does not know'
cf a single newspaper in Georgia that
will be affected by provisions of the
“Trading With (he Enemy” law which
is now operative.
When conscription first went into ef
fect, there were a number of syco-|
phantic supporters of Watson among
the weekly press that mouthed his j
mumblings and derided this system of,
securing an army.
But the turn of the tide of public
opinion in favor of the selective draft]
act, the silencing of Watson, the gen
, eral disapproval of all utterances cal
! eulated to reflect on essential govern
mental policies, have all had the ef
fect of hushing these little howlers, j
Georgia now seems to be free of disaf-j
section entirely among its newspapers, I
and certain it is now’ that if any j
should attempt to proceed along a'
path not in strict accord with patriotic!
ideas this “Trading With The Ens-!
my” law, a law with teeth in it, will
! clamp down upon them.
The law may be invoked in other'
. tates, where seditious journals are!
still be ng published, but it is to the
] credit of this state that it will not be
1 required here.
I •_ . '
The Thomasville Times-Enterprise
! uses “unambigous” and says it “be-!
I’eves there is such a word.” We don’t'
' doubt it. However, we haven’t a Pol-;
fish dictionary in the office, and we'
! don t speak Greek.

TIME TO AWAKE.
Columbus will have a big fair next
week.
Cordele is soon to open the gates ofi
. its anmlal fair.
i i
Valdosta hag just enlarged its fair
I grounds by the purchase of fifty addi
j tlonal acres.
Albany is organizing a fair associa-!
j tion.
j Towns all around Americus arehav-,
ing, or preparing to hold, fall fairs.
Americus, with a fair association,
fair grounds and buildings, is not hav
ing a fair this year, and has net taken
; any steps toward having a fair next
( year.

| A COLUMN OF CLIPPINGS
Crazy Managers.
It is to be hoped that the Savannah
man’s plea for divorce —that his wife
was insane when he married her—
will not free him from her. If it
does, and such a plea stands for the
separation of married couples, then
it is good-bye two two-thirds of the
homes in Georgia. For it is so often
remarked, she was crazy, else she
wouldn’t have married him, and too
often it is the case. —Milltown Ad
vocate.
The Third Training ( amp.
When the second series of officers’
training camps was established there
was much complaint that many of
' the enlisted men in the national guard
; units were not notified, through their
commanding officers, that they would
be given an opportunity to apply for
admission to these camps.
i Since hundreds of them had been in
] the service more than a year and had
■ seen more than year of active service
. on the Mexican border there was a
very definite feeling that they should
at least have been given an equal op
portunity with the ordinary civilian
to take the examinations and seek to
enter the training camps.
Whatever the facts in the case may
have been, the important point is that
the adjutant general of the army has
; now given notice that the third series
of officers’ training camps will begin
on January 5 and last for three
months. The camps will be open to
the enlisted men of the regular army,
the national guard and the national
army, and also to graduates and under
! graduates of certain universities, col
leges, and military schools, which
have had military training in the cur
riculum for the past ten years.
In Georgia, the military colleges
and schools named are: North Geor
' -la Agricultural college at Dahlonega
University of Georgia, at Athens; Geor
gia Military Academy, at College aPrk;
Georgia Military college, at Milledge
ville, and Gordon Institute, at Barnes,
ville. —Macon News.

She Has a Hard Job.
The have put up a suffrage lecturer
in Georgia now and are beginning
that work. Poor old girl, she has a
! hard job and it is a sight harder now
i than it was before that bunch of old
I heifers annoyed the president and
1 embarrassed the nation by their fool
! ism in Washington. A slim chance
I that bunch will have now of interest-
■ ing anybody down in this neck of the
i woods.—Bainbridge Post-Searchlight.
An Unclean Title.”
j Tom hasn't a clean title to his ssatj
lin the senate. H e is !’:c
corrupt political jug -ling/
and • during h's incumbency in the
senate he has acted dishonorably and
jas disloyally as it is possible for a
* man to act. In other words his con
| duct in the United States Senate has
j been in keeping with the manner of!
!his election. We don’t believe the]
! people will endorse Hardwick. To'
i say they will is to reflect on their in
ittlligence. To say that they will is
I to accuse them of being loyal to, and!
| in sympathy with, treachery and se- !
: dition.—Dalton Citizen.

Not In The Same Family.
' The fellow who kicks because his
! wife presents him with twins
i’ stop ami fnink about the other fel
‘ low whose v ,'fe presented him with a
' lull tor a $2 pair of sixteen-inch high
i shoes, a bill for $55 for a coatsuit, a
|b 11 for $27.35 for ah at, a bill for
.5 for a charmeuse street dress,
'and a bill for $41.65 for a net evening
dress. There are some things worse
than twins. Americus Tim.es-Re-j
corder.
The twenty-seven dollar hat and the
pair of twins may be comparable as
(financial embarrassments, but they!
|
. r< troubles that, never come upon the
|■. ame father. The husband who is
. :i“tantly paying for forty dollar net
p oping dresses and twenty-seven dol

for more than a little velvet or ribbon
