War Stamp Pledges
One of tbe most important cam
paigns in Georgia has been pushed
aside. Last June there was an in
tensive campaign made to secure
pledgee for War Savings Stamps,
in this ca npaign we secured pledg
es amounting to $38,500,000.00. Os
these pledges $13,500.000 00 have
been redeemed bv the purchase of
stamps up* to November Ist leaving
Georgia's plighted quota $25,000,000
do
The word of Georgia is out and
her pledge must be kept. So grave
was this situation that a conference
was called at the Governor’s Man
sion: a few nights ago to discuss ways
and means by which this demand
should be met. ' ' .
Wilkinson county pledged $ 160000
October first had bought $44352
Balance pledged $115648

Tick Release
Washington, D. C. The amount
of territory released this year nine
Southern states from the Federal
quarantine against the cattle fever
tick was (9,217 square miles, the
greatest on record since the State and
Federal Governments began to fight
the cattle parasite In 1906.
Another record was broken this
year. The number of cattle dippings
in all tick infested territory in the
firsj ten months of 1918 was 39, 263,
867, exceeding the number in any
previous year and by more than ten
million the number for the entire
year of 1917-
Where there are many cattle dip
pings release of territory from quar
antine is much more probable than
where there.are few. Where.- there
are no" dippings there is little or no
hope. Releases follow the dipping
vat,

chiefly on insects is mighty poor fun.
The federal migratory bird trpaty
act regulations prohibit throughou
the United States the killing at ai y
time of these bird.

Woman And The League
Os Nations
No effective league of nations can
be created unless the American peo
ple are wholeheartedly behind the
plan.
The principle of a league of nations
has been endorsed by the leading
statesmen of almost every nation al
lied'against the Central Powers.
In the United States, Great Brit
tain and France, strong private or
ganizations have been formed to ed
ucate the people in favor of the gen
eral idea.
In this country the chief exponent
of the movement is the League to en
force peace, of which'the Hon Wil
liam Howard Taft is President.
I This organization offers a special
j opportunity to women to help in a
i work for which their quick percep
tion and sympathies make them ideal
■ ly fitted.
’ The women of the allied countries
have been called upon for great sac
, rifices which have hardly touched us
■in this world struggle, but se are
Earning lessons from them which will
' save us years of bitter experience.
In no other country are the women
, organized as they are in the United
States, ready for co-operative work,
ready to submit their personal desires
ito the will of the majority, ready for
leadership, and the subordination of
leadership to the great object to be
attained.
The movement to promote inter
national good will depends for its ul
timate success upon increased inter
national understanding, appreciation । -
and sympathy, —also upon accurate :
information upon all these subjects.
