Ga.. Thursday Morning, June 27, 1918. Hardwick and Slacker Element in League, i You are right; support Harris; to save Georgia from further disgrace. And when you are voting for Wm. J. Harris you are supporting one of the most capable men in Georgia, attested by men of affairs who appreciate his ability. The man who dis credits Harris because he does not parade over the state in mad bull fashion, and who lauds the imaginary ability of anti-admin istration lepers, is not true to the demands of the day; he is gadding around with no fixed convictions as to the imminent demands of country, and, in some instances, with little regard for its welfare. The senatorial race in Georgia is no summer-time plaything; it is the opportunity the duty before the peopleof a great state, to rid their commonwealth of a curse, reeking with shame, placed upon it by a man untrue to his nation, to ins native state, and to the people who have honored him for many years. If the people of Georgia are true to themselves, allowing for a reasonable percent, of slackers and soreheads, they will wipe out the whole lot Germanism, Hard wickism and remove forever any opportunity of a public servant continuing in office purely on the strength of the cowardice and un patriotic indifference of its people. Hardwick’s conduct has been an insult to the intelligence and patriotism of the people of Geor gia, and if the peoole of this great state uphold him in his dastardly attitude toward the national administration, Georgia is not the state we have believed in from our youth up. One idea of German culture is to drug the German soldiers in order to make them tight. They are near enough the maniac stage already, judged bv their standard of deviltry. Redemption for this gang—it is beyond the grasp of human instrumentality. Anihila tion is the nearest approach to a solution of the proliletp. Make of Germany a Sodom, with death as the penalty for her guilt, that the world, realizing her fate, shall turn aside and adopt right eousness as the standard of all nations, for all time. Let it be understood that The Monitor is in no manner respon sible for the views of other men, as given through its columns by other men in articles signed or unsigned. Authorship of all un signed articles must of course be known to the editor. A square deal for all is a fixed, inviolable rule in this office, and the candi date for local office or otherwise who seeks to pervert it is simply engaging in an unnecessary re flection on his own principles. The payroll of the Georgia Assembly began yesterday, with the gathering in Atlanta of the state’s law-making body for the annual fifty-day wrangle. Wish Uncle Dick Grubb could fix a schedule for this crowd, such as he has been advocating for many years. After all is said and done it is not worth a pinch of monkey wool. — If the slacker element in Geor gia is to be judged by the vote 1 received by Hardwick, so mote it j be. This is a war for principle. ; The world is thrown into the; crucible, that the dross may bv removed from the pure gold. But the record, how it will stand, indelibly ou the scroll of time. Rations may be scarce in Ger many, the Austrians may be on the run, but boys, keep the good work going on. Hang a Hun on the barbed wire every time his head pops up. This will end the war quicker than anything else— hot lead and plenty of it. dished out to the tune of twenty-four hours a day. ► Georgia State 3 ► 5 ► Press Expressions. ◄ • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAA* The other day the Woman’s Suffrage question bobbed up se renely again in the senate. It submerges for long periods and ! then surprises everyone by com ing to the surface. But the American craft has never carried explosives on board. —Pembroke Enterprise. By the time the government gets all the railroads of the coun try merged into one complete system, with details Derfected, and all working smoothly, it will be such a tremendous undertak ing to return to pre-war condi tions such as existed under pri vate ownership that the country will hesitate before doing so. Government ownership will be in possession, and will be hard to oust. — Dublin Courier-Herald. The food administrator has ruled that merchants must not sell starch as flour. Now if he will include sawdust and cotton seed hulls in the prohibition list all will be well. —Lyons Progress. We have never put much faith in the hunger cry in the Central Empire. Their food crops have been made with a view of main taining themselves in the war just as have ours. This year’s wheat crop in the United States is greater than it ever was,—but then it must be admitted that we have not been as long at war. — Cordele Dispatch. Why is it that no one wants to live in the country any more? Cities are full of people who live from “hand to mouth,” and whose total wealth is represented by the clothing they have on Years go by and these persons never have a home. They lose that independence that the proud owner of a farm has. If there is o e needed reform it is to keep people on farms and away from cities.—Telfair Enterprise. Good roads is still the cry and the more the people have the more they want—and they are right. These are progressive times and the people of our great state are determined to keep up with the procession, even in these dreadful war times. Good roads are more needed in war » times than any other time.-Da rien Gazette. Everything which you buy is either naturally or unnaturally higher than it has ever been. But extracting and exacting ex orbitant and unreasonable prices from a purchaser is a form of stealing that has got to stop. Wrightsville Headlight. The people of Georgia are going to send William J. Harris to the United States senate. They are in no humor now to listen to bombastic utterances or hot-air promises. They want a man j who will line up with the com mander-in-chief of our army and navy and help win the war. -- Vidalia Advance. That sub commander was as polite as all get out to American victims. The effect of it all is lost, however, when we reflect that Potsdam can turn off polite ness and turn on brutality simply j by pressing a button. — Dawson News. In Terrell county boll weevils have appeared in such vast num bers that the farmers are plow | ing up their cotton and planting , , the land in peanuts. It is said : , that there are twenty-five times 11 more weevils in Terrell than at ' this time last year. Hawkins i ville Dispatch-News.

If each of the 3,000,000 persons in Georgia over 6 years of age would eat three extra potatoes daily and save three slices of bread dally, it would represent the consumption of 1,964,760 pounds of po tatoes per day and a saving of 250,000 loaves of bread. Potatoes can not be carried over. Should the present surplus be allowed to waste. It will discourage the farmers and grower* and may result In au Insufficient supply for next season. - Dr. J H. Kellogg of the Battle Creek Sanitarium and an authority on matters of diet, has compiled a table which gives some astonishing figures as to the value of baked potatoes as food. His conclusions are expressed In this table: 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 70 ounces of wheat bread. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 69 ounces of boiled beef. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 10 ounces of chicken. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 16 ounces of codfish. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 16 pints of whole milk. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 30 pints skimmed milk. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 6 dozen and 8 eggs. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 16 pounds 10 ounces of baked beans. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 17 1-2 pints of oatmeal mush. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 17 1-2 pints of cornmeal mush. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 13 1-2 pints of hominy (oooked). 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 10 pints of boiled rice. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 10 pounds of bananas. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 20 pounds of parsnips (cooked). 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 10 pounds of green peas (cooked). 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 30 pounds of beets (cooked). 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 10 pounds of boiled cabbage. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 10 pounds of radishes. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 60 pounds of tomatoes. 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 50 pounds of turnips (cooked). 10 pounds baked potatoes equal 05 pounds of cucumbers.

If we save and thereby better our position and at the same time help our Government win the war are we deserving of credit? The editor of the Duluth Herald thinks not. In a recent editorial he wrote: “When Uncle Sam asks us to save to help win the war he asks jus to do ourselves a great favor;; land yet, simply because the need lis great and the appeal urgent, and because the Nation pleads with us to do this simple thing, we are prone to look upon it as a great favor to the country, and jto stick feathers in our hats and go strutting around because we granted it. It’s patriotic, all right. It helps the country —not 'only now, but later; not only for the war, but for the trial of I national fiber that comes after the war—but it helps us even more. | “And it is so easy, so much more helpful to ourselves than to the country, so small a thing to do compared with what our boys in arms are doing that it really is a joke to pin roses on ourselves Army Shoes Made to Order. Two out of every 1,000 men in the Army have to have their shoes made to order. In several camps entire regiments have had their feet measured, and hun dreds of drawings were made of ! odd shapes and sizes. At the present time the Army uses be tween 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 pairs of shoes a month. Facts brought out in tests seem to Drove that men in the Dresent Army are larger than those serv ing in previous wars. Not only is this shown by the larger sizes of shoes called for, but by the larger sizes of outer clothing that ;is being required. Records in the Quartermaster Corps show that a size larger, on the average, is being demanded in blouses, shirts, and breeches than have • ever before been used. for doing it. “We ought to do it. We must do it. But instead of expecting Uncle Sam to decorate us for ] heroism we ought to get on our knees and thank him for the opportunity of getting a little sound sense pounded into us at last. And that goes as to the average individual, and as to the Nation and people as a whole.” Dr. F. G. Branch President of Andrew. Trof. F. G. Branch, ex-presi dent of the South Georgia Col lege here, who was elected superintendent of the Eastman High School, has resigned that position to accept the presidency of Andrew Female College at Cuthbert. Dr. J. W. Malone, who has been president of that college for twelve years, resigned a short time ago to accept the presidency of the College at Cen terville, Tenn. The board of trustees of Andrew College of fered the position to Prof. Branch without any solicitation on his part, and after making satisfac tory arrangements with the East man board he accepted the offer of Andrew College. He expects to leave here at an early date to begin his office duties in Cuthbert. —Telfair Enterprise. I Field Peas for Sale. Can ship promptly Bright Iron Cow Peas $3.50 per bushel.
