TWO SOLDIER BOYS—GOING HOME.
The boys are going home from the two air service
camps at Americus. The trains are carrying them out by
the dozen or two dozen each day.
"Yesterday was the longest day I ever spent in my
whole life,” said one eager youth sitting at the table in a
local restaurant as he was consuming a square meal
served by a Grecian waiter who had served him many
times before since his sojourn here. "It seemed like
night would never come, and when it came, it seemed
like it would never end. But finally today arrived, and
here I am, a free man again at last. Ain’t it a gr-r-and
and gl-l-orious feeling, though? Tonight I hit the rat
tlers for home. Nobody who hasn’t been through it can
understand just what it means to the soldier to be out
of the army, a free man again, after months in the
service with the war and its interest over.”
A soldier boy at the Supply Depot, noted for his
quietness and modesty, walked into headquarters yester
day and was handed his discharge. Unostentatoiusly he
walked out and quietly sauntered over to the post can
teen and stepped inside. Several of his fellows in khaki
were present. Suddenly grabbing a bottle from the
counter, he dashed it to the floor with a shout: ’:‘Thats
the way I feel!”
It was a dramatic but apt illustration. It was ex
actly .the way he felt. The restraint was off; he was a
free man again; he felt that he could DO SOMETHING
of his own initiative, without asking permission and with
out fear of breaking any rules.
These two instances are no reflection upon the mili
tary branch of our government nor upon the officers at
the local camps. These two men were model soldiers —
always obedient, never complaining, always mindful of
their obligations and duties as soldiers of their country,
never giving the slightest trouble and always doing more
than their share to uphold the honor of the service. But
these Instances do show the natural antipathy of the free
man to restraint, and they should be convincing argument
against the belief, expressed in some quarters during
the war, and even since, that we were in danger of be
coming a military nation.
America will never become a military nation, in the
sense that Germany and other nations have been mili
tary, for the reason that the men who make up the
military and who constitute the nation will never per
mit it. They make good soldiers when peril faces the
nation, but when that pSril is removed, and the danger
or need no longer exists, the army is no place for them,
Iree-born Americans, and they will not stay in it long.
No wonder that the day before his discharge was
the longest in the life of that soldier; no wonder the
other hurled the bottle to the floor in sheer exuberance.
Those are the type of men that the German army, after
hammering Europe’s best all over hte map, could not
stop. Those are the men who make America great.
And they are the military men that will never allow
America to become a military nation.
COST OF RODUCTION ON FARMS.
The committee appointed by the Secretary of Agricul
ture to study the cost of production on farms has sub
mitted its report.
The primary purpose of cost-of-production studies,
nays the report, are:
1. To record the details of the farm business for
reference.
2. To give an insight into the elements and inter-re
lations of the different farm activities.
3. To furnish information that may enable the far
mer to reduce costs, or otherwise increase profits.
4. To make possible a comparison of the profitable
ness of the different enterprises and combinations of en
terprises.
From the standpoint of the public, cost-of-produc
tion studies provide the facts which give a basis for in
telligent judgment upon the probable effects of any given
legislation or other public activity upon the farmer as
a producer and as a citizen. Cost-of-production studies
j A VERSE A DAY.
BELLEAU WOOD.
WHAT do you see, marine, marine,
When the Stars and Stripes go by?
What do you hear, marine, marine?
When the cannon split the sky?
What do you dream, marine, marine?
When the airplanes drone on high,
And joy bells ring,
And nations sing
Os a peace that may not die?
I see dark Belleau Wood again,
I hear my buddy’s moan of pain,
I dream of the numb, dumb nights and days
When we stumbled on through a foul, red haze
To a goal that no man saw.
But I didn’t see home as I fought out there.
And I didn’t hear even your song and prayer,
And 1 had no dream of a gloried end.
Os wrongs to avenge or land to defend,
Or the future of world-wide law.
I heard in Belleau Wood a call,
And I saw two words on its smoky wall.
I dreamed of living them till I die:
“Semper Fidelis,” our battle cry,
Was flaming in my brain.
And I felt my soul rush on with the flood
That was bone of my body and blood of my blood.
"Faithful to death,” and I knew no more
Till the day was done and we’d settled the score,
That our dead had not died in vain.
I ■
And that’s what we saw, we mad marines,
And that’s what we see today,
When the Stars and Stripes, like a gay bird preens,
And the band begins to play—
The motto that led through Death’s dark scenes
In Belleau’s dreary array.
I see our dead,
And I bow my head
Till the dream has passed away.
—J. RICHARD BEAMISH, in Philadelphia Press.

are, therefore, one of the means of providing the basic
facts needed by legislators and price commissions in com
paring the profits of competing lines of production and
estimating necessary price.
Men of ripe experience in various fields of agricul
tural research constituted the committee. They are: H.
C. Taylor, agricultural economics, University of Wiscon
sin; Andrew Boss, agronomy and farm management, Uni-1
versity of Minnesota; J. A. Foord, agriculture and farm
management, Massachusetts Agricultural College; J. I.
Falconer, rural economics, Ohio State University; R. L.
Adams, farm management, University of California; G. I.
Christie, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, and repre
sentatives of the Bureau of Crop Estimates, the Bureau of
Markets, and the office of farm management of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The committee recognizes three ways of obtaining
cost data —cost accounting, the survey method, and the
questionnaire sent by mail. The accounting method is
based on complete records of all farm work and business
transactions. By the survey method, trained investigat
ors obtain the necessary data, some from the farmer's
books, some from the books of persons to whom the far
mer sells and from whom he buys, some from his bin,
silo and building capacities, and some from estimates
made by the farmer.
The questionnaire sent by mail can be used to ad
vantage in securing supplementary data from large num
bers of farmers, but, in the opinion of the committee, it
should cover only a limited number of cost items, and
the questions should be direct and clear.
The benefits of cost-of-production studies, the report
says, accrue both to the individual farmer and to the
public. From the standpoint of the individual farmer
the primary purposes are to record the details of the farm
business for reference, to give an insight into the ele
ments and interrelations of the different farm activities,
to furnish information that may enable the farmer to re- ■
duce costs or otherwise increase profits, and to make
possible a comparison of the profitableness of the differ-:
ent enterprises and combinations of enterprises.
From the standpoint of the public, says the report,
cost-of-production studies provide the facts which give a
basis for intelligent judgment upon the probable effects
of any given legislation or other public activity upon the
farmer as producer and as a citizen.
WILL WE LET HIM BELLI

->
Here is still another angle to the paved highway
problem. A farmer who bought land and moved to Sum
ter county a year ago from another section of Georgia
was speaking.
“They told me, when I went to look around for a
place to move to, that Sumter county was the best coun
ty and the most progressive in the state.” said he. “I
have lived here now a year, and I am glad to state that
I have yet to see or hear anything to make me doubt
the truth of that statement. But there is one thing I
w’ill say right now in connection with the bond election
for the paving otfhe main highways of the county. If
those bonds are defeated there will be one more farm in
Sumter county for sale.”
From all indications, however, this man’s farm will
not be on the market soon.

! KIDNEYS BOTHER ;
I
I I
fake a glass of Salts before breakfast
if your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.
No man or woman who eats meat regu- |
larly can make a mistake by flushing the ,
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known 1
authority. Meat forms uric acid which i
excites the kidneys, they become over- ,
worked from the strain, get cluggish and !
fail to filter the waste and poisons from j
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all :
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, '
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and I
urinary disorders come from sluggish i
kidneys.
i The moment you feel a dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi
ment, irregular of passage or attended by
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
will act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
CONSTIPATION
Aad Sour Stomach Caused This
Lady Much Suffering. Black-
Draught Relieved.
Meadorsville, Ky.—Mrs. Pearl Pat
rick, of this place, writes: “I was
very constipated. I had sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
They weakened me and seemed to
tear up my digestion. They would
gripe me and afterwards it seemed
I was more constipated than before.
I heard of Black-Draught and de
elded to try IL I found it just what I ;
needed. It was an easy laxative, and <
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon J
Improved. I got well of the sour stom- j
ach, my bowels soon seemed normal, I
no more griping, and I would take a j
dose now and then, and was in good 1
shape. ;
I cannot say too much for Black. J
Draught for it is the finest laxative 1
one can use.” *
Thedford’s Black-Draught has for '
many years been found of great value ’
in the treatment of stomach, liver and '
bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle ■
and reliable in its action, leaving no :
bad after-effects, it has won the praise I
of thousands of people who have used
