The weather, a Ia Prof. Snider, |
Has been a giant rough rider.
Holidays are becoming numerous in this
country. j
A little reminder—do not forget to come in
and give in—that income tax.
If peace comes this year, as many now be
lieve it will, the Kaiser should not be allowed to,
escape his just deserts. l
Caillaux’s sins have found him out at last.
Whether he desires it or not, he goes into the{
same class with Bernstorft and other German
tools. |
Horrors! A dispatch from St. Louis states
that mailwoman is a failure in that own. Too|
bad, especially on the eve of suffrage success in
Congress. |
The draft law having been declared consti
tutional by the U. S. Supreme Court, heavy,
heavy hangs over the heads of those who op
pose this law in the future.
The person who wrote ‘“Keep the Home
Fires Burning” certainly failed to read Prof.
Snider’s almanac or never dreamed that a coal
famine would ensue throughout the land.
Hoover says that America has a 'big corn
crop. One of the best ways to market it, after
we have eaten what we want, is through the
hog. Jasper farmers please take notice.
As yet we have not seen or heard of the old
fashioned party who remembers any weather in
years past that compared with the recent se
vere sleet, snow and cold ‘“spells”” which came
before and after Christmas.

An English novelty is a life saving deck
chair for passenger craft, having a back and
seat made of a double piece of water-proof can
vas enclosing granulated cork, says an ex
change. Robs ship-wrecking of some of its
terrors, you see. ;
The fellow who bet $5,000 to SI,OOO that
peace would be declared within sixty days, has
faith of the old-fashioned sort. He bases his
bet and claim on the Bible. If he wins, the
loser could find thousands upon thousands who
would chip in and help him pay his amount.
Along with the great blow last Friday came
enough rain to fill the big pond on the Ocmul
gee so that the electric plant near Monticello
could resume its wonted schedule of supplying
the towns in Middle Georgia with ‘“‘juice.” “It
is an ill wind that blows nobody good,” you
know,
The party who told us this week that he saw
our “Pay your subscription” notice in The
News last week, need not heed it now. We are:
after the other fellow this week. Next week
it will be for someone else, and so on. (Have}
you remitted your $1.50 yet? If you haven'’t
now is a “beautiful” opportunity.). 1

If the farmer can withstand the temptation
of 30 cents cotton and plant an increased acre
age of grain this year, he will be safe and im
mune for balance of his life. This year is go
ing to be the supreme test, Mr. Farmer. Hold
tight to your plan to plant plenty foodstuffs,
then utilize all other lands for your cotton
crop which will be a surplus one for you.
For forty years the German autocracy has
refused to let the German people rule them
selves and at the same time constantly assured
them they ought to rule the rest of the world.—
Chicago Herald. n
But fast are falling the scales from the Ger
man people’s eyes.
Oh, Mr. Hoover, Look Here.
Listen, housewives: The Macon News says
that if eggs and grated cheese are added to
gsome of the simple cream soups one has an ex
cellent substitute for meat. Try it and report
your luck.
' Cause of the Sugar Shortage.
Here's the whole sugar matter, and all the
investigation possible will not show anything
else:
During the year, we sent to Europe five
times as much sugar as ever before. It was a
war necessity.
A shortage was thus produced in this coun
try, but we did not have to pay shortage prices.
. Cutting down our sugar ration did not hurt
us. '
The people know these things, and they do
not care much to know more about sugar. There
isn’t going to be much weeping or gnashing of
teeth if congressional investigation doesn’t or
does show up how it was done.—The Athens
Herald: i
~ Germany’s Present Strength.
The- Augusta Chronicle sensibly advises
those who are pessimistic over conditions among
our Allies to reflect that conditions in Germany
are doubtless just as bad and probably a mut
deal worse. ‘“We do not hear the news from
the G’Oflnln side oft’the line .’.b': do md m our
own,” says our contemporary, but we do know
from aut{.oritaflva sources “‘that the 'M'ggo of
M~=nany's troops is diltinctlf lower than it was
s aonths ago, that the %un ity of her ammuni
tiou is not as good .and that she hias not been
able to increase her number of big guns as she
has increased her troops, nor to improve the
general condition of her people.”
If there is to be an extreme either vu‘{. it
will be far better for us to overestimate the Teu
tons’ strength than to under-value it. But to
infer that the Russian fiasco has so changed the
war situation asto wipe out all the odds
against Germany is to overlook a mass of high
ly important probabilities and facts. Consid
er, for instance, the tremendous significance of‘
the failure of the U-boat camgaixn. A ioar
ago German leaders were confidently staking
all on their plans for ruthless submarine war
fare. Some of them calmly predicted that
England would be starved into submission with-.
in three months, while the more conservafive]
gave the Allies only six or eight months of en
durance, once the undersea onslaught was fair
ly launched. But as the year has closed, we
find the Allied output of new tonnage equaling
and almost exceeding the rate of submarine
loss, while U-boats themselves are being sunk
almost faster than Germany can build them.\
The one weapon with which the Kaiser at the
year’s outset had hopes of winning is slowly but
surely crumbling to impotency. England, far
from verging on starvation, is more efficiently
provisioned than she was twelve months ago,
and the Allies’ supremacy at sea, far from be
ing broken or shaken, is strengthened by Amer
ican navy and reinforced by this country’s great
capacity for shipbuilding. 2
We of the United States have almost for
gotten the overshadowing part which the sub
‘marine menace played in the war situation
eight or ten months ago. That peril having
‘been brought within limits where it soon can
be if it is not already controlled, we turn to
study the enemy’s new efforts and latest ad
vantages. But is it to be supposed that the
‘German people have forgotten so quickly? To
‘them the breakdown of the U-boat campaign
‘meant the fading of another great expectation
‘and another winter of war hardship and misery.
It is not to be doubted that the shift of events
‘in Russia has bolstered up the German morale,
or that the successful thrust into Italy gave the
Hohenzollern Government a fresh grip on its
subjects’ confidence. But every trustworthy
report of conditions confirm the opinion that
‘while the people are still behind the Kaiser
they are nevertheless growing more and more
‘dispirited, more and more incapable of bearing
the burdens and enduring the strain of the
'darkening months.
i By all means let us realize to the utmost the
gravity of the task which confronts us in this
]war against the mightiest and most ruthless
'military autocracy the world has ever seen.
' Let us strip our minds of every illusion concern
/ing the grim work ahead and buckle to it with
‘iron resolution. But at the same time let us
avoid the error of picturing the enemy as a na
tion of super-men having greater endurance
power than ourselves or our Allies. The Huns
are really inferior, far inferior in the qualities
‘that make nations truly great, to any of the
!peoples arrayed against them. The Hohen
'zollern’s advantage has been that which a crim
'inal of forty years’ schooling has over honest
and law-abiding men. But in the final test they
;'will fail and fall as every criminal eventually
ldoes. We need only to stand firm and fight
true to the end. Our victory is written in the
lstars.——Atlanta Journal.
Thumb Index to Character.
Just as the chin gives qualities to the face,
so the thumb marks the personality of the hand,
and is an unerring index of a man’s natural
strength or weakness of character, says an ex
change. Say, how is your thumb?
A Charitable World.
We never knew of a man who was so onery
in life that someone wouldn’t throw a bouquet
on his coffin when he died, says an exchange.
Possibly so, but we would prefer flowers
while we are sojourning on this mundane
sphere.
More Truth Than Poetry.
A friend of ours has come to the conclusion
that most any man can make a woman change
her name. But mighty few men can make a
woman change her mind. 5

than the old style hulls, why they allow better assimila

space for storage, why they are easy to handle, why they
mix well with other food, why cattle relish them, why
they cost much less than old style hulls and why thou

To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the huils
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to de this by
wetting them down night and -crninLlor 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 enly Aalf as much by bulk as of old style hulls,
