Advertising Hates 15c per inch, posi sition 5c additional—special contracts Official Organ of Henry County. McDonough, Ga., Nov. 8, 1918. All over but details. Wilson, First Citizen of the World. Well may collapse of the power of German autocracy be credited to President Wilson. Kaiser Bill has full opportunity by this time to realize how much easier it is to start a war than to stop it. Last week’s rains made a de lightful season for sowing wheat, oats and rye, according to the ed itor farmers. Senator Hardwick announces that he will begin the practice of law in Atlanta at the expiration of his term on March 4th. The American shotgun, accord ing to the view of Editor Herring, mav have had something to do with Germany’s sudden ad pulsat ing desire for peace. Sounds rea sonable. No Christmas parcel will be ac cepted by the Red Cross for ship ment to our troops in France af ter November 15. Keep this in mind in planning a Christmas box for your “boy over there." And now comes a united war work campaign to raise funds for all the charitable endeavors incident to the war, to begin on the 11 tli inst. Get yourself ready to “go over the top” with that too and to do it on the spot. “I will stand for no nonsense after this war is over,” said the Kaiser to Ambassador Gerard in 1916. The United States will stand for no nonsense from the Kaiser now. It’s unconditional surren der, or the war goes on. Happiness ought to be conta gious, and to make it so the good things of life must be shared. Not merely with our family but with our neighbors and acquaint ances, our townsmen, and “the strangers within our gates.” We should yse our blessings, not put them up in lavender leaves or camphor balls to keep —but scat ter them broadsast, share them with others. If we have bloom ing roses, share them ; if we have beautiful pictures, invite people to see them; if we have helpful thoughts, give them away—and thus generous living will bear a rich harvest, not perhaps in a like return, but in placing the donor on a higher plane of thought, and giving him a broader view of life and its obligations.—Selected. Patriotism That Counts. Henry county has than 600 men in the‘army of the United States, both overseas and at army camps. These men wherever they are must be fed and this editorial is for the purpose of showing to the people of Henry county why it is necessary for us to do our part in the feeding of our sojdiers whether the war ends or whether it keeps on, in the planting of wheat and other food stuffs. Now since the splendid rains of the past few weeks we deem it our duty to call to the attention of our farmers, the fathers of our sol diers, why they should especially plant wheat at this time. No matter what comes to pass, our wheat —to the very last bushel if need be —must be sent to our boys on thelbattle line, to the sol diers of our Allies and to the brave, suffering, needy Women and children of our Allies. There is no Western to be spared to our people here in the South. Our countryjasks us to raise wheat for our own bread needs despite the shortage of labor, and we therefore urge upon EVERY farm er, for the sake of his own family and his community but greater than all for country’s sake to plant wheat for bread for the coming year. Our own hoys are depend ing upon you here at home to plant wheat, and every man that does so is standing on the battle line with his own boys, and is a patriot who puts his patriotism in to deeds. Show your country and your own soul —vour inner self — that you are this kind of a patriot, and when you start planting wheat write your ownjboy what you are doing and that you are with him and that he shall be fed, though the folks at home have to forego the necessities of life. Will you plant wheat for them? Will you plant wheat to take care of home bread needs so that all the Western wheat can be sent overseas? And then will you plant the best crops of oats and rye you can also, for these small grains must be raised to back up wheat production —to supply wheat substitutes —and also to feed the horses of the American armies. If you do the above things, so urgently requested by the U. S. Government, you are a patriot among patriots; a man with the the kind of patriotism that counts for victory and for the permanent peace of the world. Growers May Carry Cotton Back to Farms. Fitzgerald. More than S,OCX) bales of cotton are being held by farmers in local warehouses on account of the uncertain market. A movement is on foot by grow ers to carry their cotton back to the farms to save insurance and warehouse charges. The high price of cotton early in the season enabled the farmers to pay up most of their debts and so find themselves in a position to hold their surplus cotton for a better market condition.
