PIRIGBAPHICKIV SPEAKING
Nearly every woman who has a
sharp tongue is also hatchet-faced.
Strange as it may seem a woman
usually gets blue when her nose turns
red.
Every woman is proud of her shape,
even if she looks like the back of a
hack.
This is the only season when both
the ice man and the coal baron are
uncomfortable.
Money may make the mare, but
many a slow horse makes his owner’s
wad disappear.
Many a man who has failed in every
venture he ever made feels sure he is
well qualified to run the United States
government.
When a man begins by saying
"There’s no use talking,” rest assured
he intends to hold the floor as long
as he can.
“Boys will be boys,” and occasion
ally the married men when they’re
away from home, will act like a lot
■of hoodlums.
The new men came into their own
last Saturday when they registered
for military service under the selec
tive service act.
The bachelor who expresses sym
pathy for the man about to be mar
ried probably does so bacause he
thinks the poor victim hasn’t sense
enough to be sorry for himself
Augusta school teachers are resign
ing because of the meagre pay doled
out to them. Another case of the
high cost of winning the war draw
ing educators into other lines of in
dustry.
With General Revolt about to take
command in Germany and General
Starvation attaining renowned promi
nence in Russia, it is probable in
deed, that the end of the war will
socn be in sight.
Many a man gets all puffed up ba
car.se his wife uses a couple of hours
tn dolling up before she goes out with
him, but let her go out just one time
without all this, and the old boy will
set up a howl right.
Luke McLuke says that whenever
he sees a lot of girls all dolled up in
mid-summer draperies it makes him
fee! like going over and voting the
Mormon ticket. And Luke is usually
a sound thinker at that.
Some men make unwarranted
claims. In looking over our files to
day we saw where an Atlanta jurist
claims he poured some real liquor
into a sewer when the Georgia bone
dry law went into effect.

CONGRATULATIONS!
The Times-Recorder felicitates the
city of Columbus upon having secured
a military camp.
It is a very important acquisition,
probably the greatest asset Colum
bus has exer annexed. Besides, it
is to be a camp of an exceptionally
high standard, comprising in its per
sonnel of men mostly non-commis
sioned and commissioned officers. It
will be an infantry school of arms,
and because of its peculiar and dis
tinctive requirements it will embrace
an unusually large amount of terri
tory. The counties of Muscogee,
Chattahoochee, Marion, and Talbot
wi 1 be affected.
Every city where a camp has been
located has profited in many ways.
Americus with its aviation camp is
better off today than it has ever been.
Augusta was literally saved from
stagnation by Camp Hancock, and
Macon is a different city with Camp
Wheeler in its possession. The com
ing of the camp to Columbus will
mean more business opportunities, of
course; it will increase the popula
tion; ft will infuse new life and a
different spirit in the community. But
mere than that, it will mean a cleaner
Columbus. Vice will be chased away,
snd even in Girard and Phoenix City,
the two Alabama towns just across
the river, the same conditions will
prevail, since they will be within the
camp zone and state boundary lines
will not make any difference.
Columbus has been working hard
and long for something from the gov
ernment. and having at last succeed
ed, probably beyond its fondest antic
ipations, it is to be congratulated.
Deserving of much thanks and praise
for having aided Columbus quite
splendidly in its fight for the camp
•s Congressman W. C. Wright, who
has devoted considerable time fc
months to this project. Columbus
owes him an appreciative regard for
his efforts in its behalf.
A married man is like a fish in
that he is likely to be caught unless
he keeps his mouth closed.
“WHAT’S THE TROUBLE!*
Few capable men ever yet turned
in their tools and told the boss they
were going to quit without encoun
tering the pointblank question,
"What’s the trouble?” It is also to
be noted that classes where the an
swer is adequate or even ready are
the exception rather than the rule.
Even in normal times the answer
to the question “What's the trouble?”
should be equally direct and altogeth
er adequate. Better still, the matter
should be threshed out beforehand;
there should be no occasion for the
question, in which even there prob
ably would be no occasion for the
quitting.
’l the face of the present demand
for men, such questions as “What s
the trouble?” take on a new and far
deeper significance. What is the
trouble, the real trouble, of today—
the trouble, divided though it is
among all of us, that weighs so heav
ily upon each If it isn’t the threat
that underlies the German Kaiser’
sinister designs on civilization, then
the civilized world is maintaining Its
huge armies in the European battle
fields to no purpose. Here, indeed,
is the real trouble. There can be no
peace, no knowing what to expect, no
top, bottom or sides of anything,
while the armed legions that seek to
resurrect serfdom and shackle demo
cratic nations are rampant. Hence
back of the line all should be bee-
Uke in> their steady-going productivi
ty. If we can’t fire, let’s furnish
let’s keep the wheels humming right
along!
Nothing in knocking off. Knocking
about is another notorious loser. Un
til Uncle Sam himself calls us off, the
job’s the thing.
Many a man who has a scheme for
getting rich quick gets rich quicker
by selling his plan to the other fel
lows.

IN SUMTER COUNTY!
AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
BAD NEWS FOB BERLIN.
The war news from the eastern
front these days is bad news for the
German people. Quotations from
German newspapers portrays the
gloom that overhangs the people in
the large cities. That the people in
the small towns and country are
equally depressed is not to be doubt
ed.
The Liberty Loan buyers of the
preceding loans have their share in
the success of the entente allies. They
furnished the sinews of war not only
to fight the U-boats and to build
ships, not only to raise, equip, and
send our soldiers over, not only to
supply tnem and our armies with food
and munitions, but more than $6,000,-
000,000 of their money has been loan
ed our allies so that they may prose
cute the war with vigor and strength.
We here at home an oppor
tunity to senq the Germans some
more bad news. The Germans have
great respect for money; they know
its vital value in waging war. They
know, too, that the support the Amer
ican people give a' Government loan
measures largely the support they
give their Government, the moral as
well as the financial support they
igive their armies in the field.
A tremendous subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan will be as dis
tressing to the German people as a
defeat for them no the battle field,
and it will mean as much. It spells
'heir defeat; it breaks their morale;
it means power to their enemies. A
subscription to the loan is a contri
bution to German defeat and Ameri
can victory. <
CONSERVATION OF CREDIT.
Not only should the goods and labor
of the Nation be conserved for the
prosecutin of the war; the credit of
the Nation must be conserved for the
same purpose.
This is being impressed upon the
banks, and it should be impressed
a i on the people, too —the borrowers
from banks.
All of the banks of the country
are being urged by the Federal Re
serve Board to curtail their loans.
'I hey are urged to loan mon ay only
where the borrower is going to use
» in some way that will aid in tr
contribute to winning the w r ar.
This policy is not aimed at ham
pei’ng legitimate business. It aims
to help win the war, which is the
best means that money wanted for
not:-essential purposes should be re
fused. Let the non-essentials wait
until the war is finished. The Go.
ernment needs the money to carry
on the war. The farmers, the me.’
and industries engaged in war work
or engaged in producing things need
ed for the efficiency both of our sol
diers and of our Lome people, need
the credit to cairy on their enter
prises.
Merchants should not borrow
money to frtec : un on luxuries o
things that the people should not buy
at this time. No one should borrow
money now to spend, needlessly or ex
travagantly. Unnecessary building
unneeded articles, unnecessary enter
prises should all await the ending oi
the war.
The Federal Reserve Board points
out that in the interest of successful
Government financing it would be
much better for the banks to hold
credit within reasonable bounds by
Intelligent co-operation rather than
to discourage borrowing by charging
high interest rates. Thejpeople should
00-operate with the Government and
the banks in this policy of conserving
credit and curtailing borrowing ex
cept where the money, directly or in
directly, helps win the war, helps our
soldiers who are risking their lives
for our country.
"Why Should a Candidate Practice
Deception ” reads a headline. Why
bless your soul, if some of the fellows
in the race for senator told the truth
about themselves there wouldn’t be a
single soul left to defend their rec
ords in congress.
