A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.
Am 1 my brother’s keeper?
Genesis 4:9.
Let us reflect that the highest path
is pointed out by th? pure ideal of
those who look up to us, and who, if
we tread less loftily, may never look
so high again. Remembering this,
let it suggest one generous motive
for walking heedfully amid the de
filements of earthly ways.—Nathan
iel Hawthorne.
EDITORIAL
According to the Central of Geor
gia estimate, the peach crop will be
only 20 per cent below last year.
Funny an announcement like this
comes before at least a half dozen
Announcements are made that the
crop has been killed.
Albany is putting on a fine box
ing card tonight. Wouldn’t there
be a big row raised if Americus
fans desired to undertake such an
event! _U IIIIIIII
Griffin just naturally played out
of luck. Ty Cobb sprained his ankle
here Tuesday after playing the full
game, and couldn’t have played there
yesterday anyhow, and it rained all
day so that nobody could play.
The monument was dedicated last
November 11. Today, five months
later, the drinking fountains are still
unconnected and the well incom
pleted.
Who ever knew the roses of South
Georgia to be finer or of sweeter
fragrance than right now.
The blackberry bushes are bloom
ing splendidly, foretelling a bumper
crop of cordial.
A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY.
’’TODAY is the sixth anniversary of
America’s declaration of a state
of war with Germany. On this day,
in 1917, President Woodrow Wil-<
son issued his proclamation plunging
America into the great war on the
side of humanity and right a war
which this nation had striven to
avoid.
Today a national memorial to
Woodrow Wilson, form of the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation, is be
ing built to his memory. The Foun
dation seeks through a system of pe
riodic awards for great public serv
ice to perpetuate the ideals which
are recognized as the very essence of
Mr. Wilson’s statesmanship and the
embodiment of the principles of true
democarcy.
Os the fund of $1,000,000 or more
which is sought as the endowment of
The Woodrow Wilson Awards, about
$700,000 has been raised up to the
present time. At least $300,000
more is sought. It is estimated that
about 150,000 persons, Democrats
and Republicans alike, have already
made their contributions to the fund.
But there must be thousands, per
haps even millions, of others who
reed only to be reminded that the
opportunity is still open for them
to become founders of what have
been called “America’s Own Nobel
Prizes.”
The Times-Recorder undertook
some weeks ago to handle donations
to this fund. A number of gifts
were received locally and forwarded.
None have come for some time. If
there any who still wish to have a
part in this worthy enterprise, this
great ideal, the Times-Recorder will
bo glad still to accept and forward
gifts.
FARM VALUES.
POUR farm implements were re
cently bought by an agriculturist
at Culbertson, Nebr. He paid $736
for what he could have bought for
$485 in August, 1914, an increase
of 52 per cent.
Putting it another way the farm
er, to get his four pieces of ma
chinery, has to exchange 2189
'nishels of corn againts only 789
bushels in August, 1914, an increase
of 174 per cent.
Buying power, not actual num
ber of dollars, is the really important
thing.
lhe Culbertson farmer needs no
economist to tell him that general
prices still are far from the balance
that is necessary before people again
can trade freely and fairly.
Congress will be glad when the

eyes were as round as dol
lars. “I—l’m slipping!”
Whizz! Down she slid backward
off the Chocolate Mountain.
“G —goodness!” cried Nick, his
eyes as round as button. “I—l’m
slipping, too!”
Whizz! Down he slid off the
Chocolate Mountain, also, clutching
the record for dear life.
‘‘What’s wrong?” gasped Nancy.
“Yes, what?” repeated Nick. “We
were nearly to the top.”
The red-feather pen jumped out
of Nick's pocket and began to
scratch a message on the magic pa
per. “It’s Twelve Toes, the Sorcer
er, again,” it wrote. “He’s standing
near his cave with a watch crystal,
and he’s catching the hot rays of the
sun and throwing them on the
mountain. Wherever they touch the
hard chocolate, it melts and gets
slippery. You’ll have to hunt up
Jack Frost and ask him to blow his
cold breath upon it and harden it
again.”

“Just like Eskimo pies!” shouted
Nancy with glee.
“Exactly!” wrote the pen and dis
appeared.
“Well,” said Nick. “It means an
other trip up to the Weatherman’s
Star.”
“I’ll help you this time,” said a
soft voice. “No, don’t look. You
can’t see me, but I’m South Wind
and I live in Bluster-Gust Land
with my three cousins. I’ll tell my
cough cousin, North Wind, to blow
open the door of the house of the
Nuisance Fairies and get Jack
Frost. Then the two of them will
come and blow their cold breaths
upon the Chocolate Mounutain so it
will stay hard, and you can get
over safely.”
Before the Twins could thapk her,
South Wind was gone. In a few
minutes the sun went out, and
there began a grept blowing. Then
the air grew cold.
“Come on,” said Nick. “They’re
I at it.”

OBSERVATIONS
BY TOM SIMS
When two politicians are united
the people all sing, “Here Comes the
Bribe.”
In Wisconsin they arrested a 13-
year-old bootlegger. They should
pass a law against minors bootleg
ging.
A shortage of knot holes in base
ball fences is reported.
Mellon is singing, “We didn’t raise
our taxes to be a bonus.
It’s hard to tell; but golf is either
good for the wind, or only long talk
ers play golf.
Congressmen who visited Muscle
Shoals say it is some dam site.
Friday is one of the seven days
on which it is unlucky to cuss a cop.
Sweeping the floor or spanking the
baby is a fine golf soubstitute.
Crazy woman climbed a tree an
wouldn’t come down. Men wonder
what the crazy women will do next.
Most of the results of war re
mind us of what war itself is.
A bachelor takes a vacation while
a married man is taken on one.
Perhaps California earthquakes
are due to too much shimmying at
the same time.
If this coal strike was in Germany
they wouldn’t worry. Over there
they have money to burn.
There may be a limit to the radio
range, but not to the radio rage.
Being fair to the auto drivers, the
kids should put up “detour” signs
around their marble games.
Since 4800 Americans are going
to Russia they should loarn the
motto, “Abandon soap, all ye who
