This is no time to get peeved, Mr. Hardwick. Kaiser Wilhelm Hohenzollern is an awful name of an awful fellow. When you pray for stricken Europe, ask the Almighty to give those nations a leader like Wilson. Boys, we had rather see Uncle Sam “get you” now than to see you wait and let the Kaiser do it. Do the suffragists think that selecting such a time as this to stir up strife will help their cause? “United States lends five billions more to the allies.” Soon be time to foreclose a mortgage on the whole thing over there. If you haven’t cowpea seed, buy them. As a food and feed crop, the cowpea should have a big place on nearly every farm. Argument never changes fact to fiction. Because some believe we are not fighting America’s war does not mean that we are not. President Wilson deserves the respect and support of every per son in America. Every Full Blood ed American will gladly do both. If it is necessary to “change Europe’s boundaries” to Insure lasting peace to America, let’s change ’em. What say you, Hard wick ? No use to worry about going to war. If Uncle Sam doesn’t call you there, he will need you at home. You can help win the war at home in many ways. Try it. “Some people do not know that autocracy is not a part of an auto mobile,” says a daily. We believe some parts of our flivver can sometimes be contrary enough to have that name. The counties of DeKalb, Rock dale, Newton, Butts, Spalding and Henry have all organized County Fair Associations. The Weekly hopes to see old Henry lead the bunch. Are you with us, citizens? Beafairbooster. Just a few have asked us what effect the war will have on our county Fair. Do you suppose for an instant that we are going to be downed by any amount of Ger mans thousands of miles away? Not Henry. “Better Late Than Never ” The News and Sun has not hes itated to condemn lynchings in Georgia, but the shock over the killing of twenty negroes and the burning of a few hundred tenant houses in East St. Louis, 111., was sufficient to delay us in the ex pression of our sentiments. How ever, we think it was extremely impolite of the men and women of East St. Louis in the law abid ing state of Illinois to engage in the wholesale lynching ot negroes whose only offense was an effort to secure honorable labor. Illinois, it wiil be remembered, has often criticised the South through that jaundiced newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, for occasion al lynchings, consequently there was a mild ripple of surprise throughout the land when negroes who had been lured from the Sun ny South to wade aboui in milk and honey in the North were lynched because they were willing to work for a living. Scores of negroes have been lynched down here in Georgia for various offenses, principally rape and murder, but never has one been Dut to death for trying to apply the injunction of the Bible concerning the “sweat of the brow.” It remained for the state of Illinois to attach the death pen alty on a desire to work and the good men of that state were aided by the pure women in the crime of murder, who tore the clothing from negro women in the streets and beat them with clubs. The Georgia women leave such issues to the men for adjudication, but not so with the good ladies of Illi nois. In the future the North should be more economical in its con demnation of the South for lynch ing deserving negroes occasional ly, whom all good people admit during a quiet moment should be allowed a trial by law. A learned Georgia judge used to say, “It is the certainty and not the severity of punishment that deters people in the commission of crime.” But punishment is not certain, so every now then enraged citi zens take the law into their own llanos which they should not do. But Illinois should refrain from indulging in and making suggestions when a Southern mob lynches fewer than a score of ne groes at one session and burns only a few villages—Griffin News. Be Canny! Can! Summer investment of time and money, small; winter re turns in food and health, large. Establish a home canning firm, “Father, Mother & Co.”—don’t forget the little “co’s.” Rubber rings!—You’ll need good ones while the jars are hot. Let empty cans and jars wait for fruit. Don’t try to make fruit wait long for containers. The sooner into the can, the fresher they taste next winter. Can for home use in glass con tainer, as tin cans may be very scarce. Pickle or brine suitable vege tables in crocks. The scarcer fresh vegetables are—the more valuable are the canned ones. See that jars, cans and process ing outfits are ready to do busi ness as soon as fruits and vege tables ripen. Jars worth as much as ever in winter—vegetables worth more than ever. Home canning pays. If the grownups think canning! is a difricult process, the children will show them how. It was a glorious rain through out this section. Political Mosaic. Atlanta, Ga., July. —The compli cations and contradictions of Geor gia politics are the subject of much gossip amqng legislators gathered in Atlanta, and the observers point out that never in the state was there such a strange mixup as that which confronts the Deople with what some legislator gifdd in expression has termed a “polit ical mosaic.” Thomas E. Watson, the enemy of the conscription law, suggests that its constitutionality be tested in the courts, and Ex-Governor Brown in an article in the Atlanta Uonstitution takes the same posi tion, which The Constitution edi torially approves. Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, oldtime enemy of Watson, also opposed the conscription law and has made speeches recently which have caused many people to be lieve that he is still opposing it, and there is talk of a Watson- Hardwick combination. G. Rufus Hutchens, who ran for the United States Senate against Senator Hardwick as a Watson candidate, has attacked Senator Hardwick on the latter’s position concerning the conscription law. The candidacy of Hutchens defeat ed John M. Slaton for the Senate, and if Slaton had gone to the Sen ate the Frank ‘case would never have come before him. Elected on a Dlatform which pledged him to support President Wilson, whom he eulogized on every Georgia stump as the great est Democrat since Jefferson, Sen ator Hardwick has fought the President so consistently that some of the very men who manip ulated the Macon convention in his interest are planning to oppose him for re-electien. Governor Dorsey is not making any public speeches, having de clined the invitation to appear in Athens on July fourth, and like wise the invitation to speak at the Food Conservation Conference and consequently nobody knows where he stands on the burning issues of the day. And so the legislators are won dering what the line-up will be. Nobody but the sovereign people can tell, and it is with them to de cide. i SEEING IS BELIEVING!

The mixed feed formulas show how to combine Buckeye Hulls properly with concentrates and other feeds. Mr. W. B. Lifford, Troy, Ala., prefers Buckeye Hulls to old style hulls. He says that they are less trouble to feed, are• better for the digestive organs and seem to agree with the cows better. To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the halls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
