SOLDIERS IN FIELD AND CAMP GET MANY BOOKS The War Service Committee of the American Library Asso ciation reports that 435,000 books were shipped to Ameri can soldiers in France up to July 1. The books went in tonnage space granted at the request of Gen. Pershing on the decks of transports, where they were used by the men on the voyage and repacked for use in France; in naval vessels for naval bases abroad; and in Red Cross tonnage for the hos pitals in France and England. - A total of more than 2,500,- 000 books have been supplied by the American Library As sociation to the camps and sta tions in the United States and overseas. Approximately 500,- €OO of these books were pur chased, the others having come as gifts from the American people through the public li braries of the country. Nearly 40 library buildings have been erected, and 600 camps in America, alone, have received collections of books. Two hundred librarians, in cluding leaders in their pro fession in this country, are giving their time to Library War Service. Most of these are serving as camp librarians, as sistants, and organizers in the field; others are in dispatch offices for the shipment of books to France.

Ry s s 0o oo soeoonmemonneauttr R oA e Hon. G. Ozden Persons, of Forsyth, former President of the State Senate, announces himself as a candidate for Co ngress from the Sixth District. . Mr. Persons is a lawyer of many years’ practice at the Bar of the Flint Judicial Circuit, and is widely and favorably known throughout the District. He is an experienced legis lator, having served in the lower house from his county for several times, and as State Senator from the Twenty-second District, composed of Bibb, Pike and Monroe counties. He was elected President of the Senate without opposition. While in the Legislature, he occupied a prominent position, and was the author of general legislation of state-wide interest. His formal announcement as a ecandidate for Congress will be re 'ce;iv:d with great interest, as his friends are confident of his election. To the Voters of the Sixth Con gressional District of Georgia After a careful survey of the Sixth Congressional District, I have decided to become a candidate for Congress from this district, subject to the rules governing the next Democratic Pri mary. I base my candidacy for congress on my record as a state legislator, which record 1 respectfully submit to the consideration of the voters of the Sixth District. ' In addition to taking an active part in all general legislation enacted while I was a member of the House and Senate for many years of service, I am the sole author of the following general legislation which is of benefit to all the people of the State: (1) The Parole Law, whereby men who have been convicted of crime and sentenced under the law to penal ser vice, are given another opportunity in life of becoming useful and respected citizens. (2) That Constitutional Amend ment which authorizes counties to give unto the rural pupils the same free high school training, as is afford ed by the towns and cities; and which gives the county authorities the right to use the State’s appropriation for the common schools in connection with High School instruction, and (3) That Act which prevented the Louisville & Nashville Railway Co. from obtaining a charter from the State to parallel the tracks of the State's road, the Western & Atlantic from Chattanooga to Atlanta, until af ter the new lease was made by the W. & A. Commission with the Louis ville & Nashville for a period of fifty yvears, and at a much higher rate of rental than was ever obtained before, 1 was elected President of the Sen ate and ex-officio Licutenant Governor of the State for the years 1915-1916 without opposition. On my election to Congress I shall devote myself to the duties of a Con gressman with the purpose of serving the pecple of my District, State and Country as faithfully as 1 have en. deavored to serve the people of my County and State in the State Legis lature. We must stand united on all meas ures until the present war against Ger many is won for our country, and American lives and property are made gecure beneath the folds of our flag throughout the entire world, After the war is won for our peo ple and when we return with joy and gladness to our pursuits of peaceful life, the important questions both for eign and domestic which will so vitally affect our future prosperity, must be solved by Congress with an eye single to the interests of America, so as to accord full liberty with exact jusfice to all the class of our citizens. Our State sovereignty must be pre (Advertise served if we would perpetuate our form of government. Next in importance is the question of land and water transportation de velopment, and the regulating and im proving of our transportation facilities in order that the country may be prop erly developed and defended, and the destructivé conflicts between capital and labor prevented by providing just returns unto capital actually invested and fair working hours and wages for labor. I greatly desire the proper develop ment of Georgia’s deep-sea ports, and heartily endorse the proposed plan of the business men es Bibb county to obtain government aid in opening the Ocmulgee channel so as to make it navigable all the year round, and equip it with a sufficient number of freight barges to take care of the commerce that will be carried. This waterway from Macon to Brunswick is nature’s gift to the Sixth District and should be utilized to its effective fullness. It should be operated in conjunction with the deep-sea connections of the Mer chant Marine to be operated after the war, thereby greatly benefiting the people of the District and the State. I shall work for a permanent loca tion of the military camp at Camp ‘Wheeler. This camp because of its naturally healthful and advantageous surroundings being located in the heart of the State, is entitled to as many soldiers as any camp, in the State, and should have them. Our immigration laws must be ‘changed s 0 as to bar from our coun try every undesirable alien, and our ‘naturallzation laws changed so as to prevent any enemy of our country ex ercising the right to vote and enjoying the protection of our citizenship. Rural free delivery of the mails should be extended until every home is reached, while educational and vo \catlonal training of our people should be rendered thorough and effective. ~ The government farm loan system with its low rate of interest to the borrowers should be so simplified and perfected as to make it. possible for those who wish to avail themselves of its benefits can do so without unnec essary delay or expense. Believing in the great principles of the Democratic Party, and its motto, “equal rights to all and apezl:l.; privi leges to none,” I submit my didacy and respectfully solicit with apprecia tion your votes and influence with the promise that on election I shall devote my energy and best efforts to the solution of all questions that may come unto me, fledging that my in fluence and vote shall be uséd solely for the best interests of the people whom alone I shall serve. , , Respectfully, OGDEN PERSONS. ment.) : | ! o-u:t.qb..

Ga., June 10, 1918, To thc“vlhlu oters of the Ocmulgee Cir cuit: 1 honb:’ announce my candidacy for the office of udfc of the Superior Court of the Ocmulgee Circuit for the term beginning Cunw{fll. 1919, subject to the rules of such nu? as may. be ordered by the Democratic State Committee. L It has been’ more than half a century since a citizen of Baldwin County has held this important office. The office has been continuously held by citizens of Greene County for nearly twenty-four years, and by the present Judge, Hon. J, B, Park, for nearly eight years. Since the organization of the Ocmulgee Cireuit, no gudn. so far as I am informed, has held the effice longer than two terms, and if Judge Park is re elected the precedent of a hundred years will be broken. I respectfully solicit the support of the people of the Circuit; and if elected, I promise faithfully to devote my entire time to the discharge of the duties of the office; I shall give the people of the Cireuit, as far #8 in my power lies, a prompt, energetic and economical administration of the ju dicial business of the Circuit. If elected, it will be a pleasure to me to visit, between the terms of court, the several counties in the Circuit, for the purpose of disposing of such’ motions and Chambers business as may arise, I shall devote the entire powers of my bod{ and mind to the economical and business-like disposition of the matters coming before the Court. I shall be deeply grateful for the support of the people for this important and honorable office. Very respectfully, EDWARD R. HINES, FOR CONGRESS. To the Voters of the Sixth Congressional District of Georgia: I am a ecandidate for the Sixty-Sixth Con gress, to succeed myself, subject to such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Executive Committee, I have endeavored at all times to look after every interest of my constituents, agfl_tto represent them to the best of my a ny. Since being in Congress, I have been kept in Washington almost continuously, and have not had the opportunity and pleasure of visiting my constituents, as 1 would have under other circumstances, but I felt it my duty to remain at my post in these perilous times, and render what assistance 1 could to successfully prosecute Zhe WAar, If it is the will of the voters of the Sixth District that I be returned to Congress, ! shall do all I can by word and act, to bring ’thls awful war to a speedy and victorious termination, and then to devote myself with ‘nll the energy I have to the passage of such legislation as will tend to the upbuilding of our government, and if possible, estab lish a lasting and permanent peace among the nations of the earth, so that freedom and liberty may be the portion of mankind everywhere. Thanking my constituents for past favors, and hoping my candidacy may meet with lyour approval, 1 am, Sincerely, f J. W. WISE. In the United States army and navy training camps, the Y. M. C.

David Jones, of Forbus, Tenn.,, writes: “I got a bottle of Ziron and will say that I never had anything to come in 8o good a time as I was think ing of giving up, I was so weak. I cannot tell you how bad I felt, Had stomach trouble, loss of appetite, couldn’t sleep, in fact was a total wreck all over, as I am subject to weak spells in the Spring of the year. After using Ziron will say I now feel fine and can do a fine days work. I think you have a good medicine, and I can surely recommend it to any one who needs a tonic”, Medical authorities and text books agree that iron is needed to keep the system in good condition. Investiga. tion shows that pale, weak tired peo ple generally lack the necessary a mount of iron in their blood. The strength that iron gives may be ob tained by taking Ziron Iron Tonic. Try it.
