, A NEW EARTH
I John, the great seer of Patinos, saw “a new heaven and
j a new earth.’’ Ever since his day the human race has been
| yearning toward that new earth, especially. Many times
’ some portion of carih’s peoples have fondly imagined they
had attained to it. only to be disillusioned when through
the rosy mi. t of optimism the same imperfect old world
| emerged.
; The latest effort toward a radical change of earth and
earth's people is-the effort of the Russian Bolslieviki to
attain thereto, mainly by a repudiation of all earthly obli-
| f tion and a throwing down of all responsibilities.
1 These gentry have, it seems, preached an.absolute per
sonal liberty as the ultimate attainment toward perfection
| in this life. Of a life to seme they appear very skeptical,
j Their teaching has, however, defeated itself, in that
.they failed to perceive that there can be no such thing as
' absolute personal liberty without degenerating into anar
chy. That was the inevitable and logical effect in Russia,
and it will he the same with any other nation which un-
I dertakes to put personal freedom and license ahead of the
i interests of humanity in the large.
Whether or not a stable government will emerge from
| the chaos into which its masters have plunged poor Rus-
| sia, it is an impressive object l*sson for all free peoples, a
I lesson that should impress them with the fact that man
may have entirely too much freedom for his own good, and
that the safest course is to keep close to the old landmarks.
ARE YOU READY TO MAKE THAT PLEDGE?
The most stupendous war measure undertaking to come
before the people of Baldwin county, Georgia and every
f ti er state ia the United States, will take place during this
week in an effort to raise $2,000,000,0(10 by the sale of War
Savings Stamps. This measure will effect every able-bod
ied citizen in this country and al! clas-es, rich, poor, y<> ng
and old, will be called upon to shoulder their shar of the
burden by putting their funds into the hands of the Gov
ernment.
In Baldwin county alone, the Government expects to se
cure the sum of $560,000 and to meet this demand it will
require the sum of $20.00 from every man, w'oman and child.
This appropriation can he secured only by the whole-heart
edness of the people as a whole and those receiving weekly
tamings will be expected to make their sacrifices as well
as those being In more fnv .able circumstances. Thi- war
is, and should ha,,a personal affair with every American
citizen and the financial backing of this entire country,
large and small, will he required in bringing the war in
which we are engaged to a s 3ce3Sful and speedy end.
So, it is a matter for the big man, financially, to put into
the hands of the Government his entire surplus and his
monthly earnings. Likewise, it is the duty of the smaller j
rated man to come across end take a part in the cinfiiot by
defending his country t the extent of making weekly sac
rifices during the period of the war. All we have or expect
to have is involved at this time and no one can afford to
prove himself a slacker at a time when our Government is
facing such a crisis as it is now facing.
It will not he difficult for us to n..ike successful plans to
the end of putting a part of our earnings aside for our Gov
ernment and at the same lime, by uo doing, we will he mak
ing an investment that will return to i r. our principal with
a profit. .
You are going to be called upon, men and women of Bald
win county, to contribute to this measure of V.'nr Savings
Stamps Sales. Sooner ■ r later you are going to pay the
price of this war and it is far bolter io del it new than, it
is to wait until you have robbed yourself of the opportunity
of placing an unapproachable breasst works before the line
of the enemy.
This is a time for iron rf ioday and we should love to see
the time in which we ora employed in behalf of our coun
try lag away reluctantly, inasmuch as we will be called
men of yesterday soon enough.
Next Friday, Juue 28,h. has been set aside by President 1
Wilson at National Pledge Day for iho purpose of securing
pledges from the people of the United States to purchase
War Savings Stamps. Georgia is being asked to raise $57,-
500,000 to go to the Government in this way and Baldwin
county’s quota in this appropriation amounts to $360,000,
as stated in the foregoing.
Meetings will be held in every district in this county Fri
day to secure pledges for the purchasing of War Savings
Stamps and speakers will be present at each of these meet
ings to 'cutline the plans of the Government. The obligation
on the part of the citizens shouldering tltis measure will
be comparatively small and for this reason no able-bodied
person will he excused for not p tting in his appearan> e.
If you have not afready done so, get busy now; mate*
your plans to gu the limit in this undertaking. By all
means let us make the patriotic gatherings in Baldwin
county next Friday events demonstrative of our patriot
ism to the extent of assuring our Government of our full
backing in the carrying on of the war.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION FOR WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
Wounded soldiers at the base hospital at Fort McPher
son. where they are rao vering from wounds received in
France, are keenly interested in the plan of the Govern
ment to give them vocational education fitting them to earn
a livelihood and become useful citizens in spite of their dis
abilities, under the provisions of the bill introduced by
Senator Hoke Smith which recently passed the house and
v, as signed by the President.
Under thi? law men wounded in the war will be given
an opportunity by the Government of having individual in
i''.ruction fitting them to be useful citizens. This vocation
al training will extend to every line of occupation. The
work will he in charge of the Federal Board for Vocation
al Education, which has already gathered experts who have
been studying the situation in other countries.
The injured men will lie given every help and encorrage-
ment in rehabilitating themselves. An immense and very
valuable work is destined to he accomplished by this
means. Senator Smith introduced the hill as chairman of
the Senate Committee on Education and labor.
WOMEN IN BUSINESS.
Instead of curtailing the education of women during the
war it should he encouraged and promoted in every possi/
b’.e way as one of the most effective means that could pos±
slbly he employed in aUPng Amer! -a io victors , according,
to a very interesting article on th? subject appearing in/
the latest issue of The Mather, a magazine ; ublished hv
the journalistic department of Elizabeth Mather College,
cf Atlanta. It is a faci. as th s writer shews, that worm n
have be-'ll suddenly caked to fiil tl e places of men in many :
lines of work where women were never employed before.
Thy are needed in every branch of p: hlic activity today,'
from the running of elevators to the management of large
business enterprises. The number of trained women is en
tirely inadequate to supply the demand. Hence, it is ar*
fitted, there is very reason why practical training alcng
efficient line? should be afforded to the young women of
the country to fit them lor the utmost usefulness in the po
sh ions they will take.
THE FUR CRAZE.
Have You Bought
Yours?
If every man, woman and child
in America bought just one Thrift
Stamp, Uncle Sam would have
$25,000,000 to help win the war.
Think of it—then go and buy your
stamp today.

OUR POSITION IN THIS WAR.
"Austria now on the verge of starvation!'-’ i
This is the headline appearing in the daily papers issued i
during the last week, thus indicating the gradual weaken
ing of the Teutonic Allies.
On numerous occasions we have reports heralding the
dire distress existing among the nations attempting to
force Prussianism upon the w.rld and the stories, one aft- 1
er another, can well be accepted in a matter of fact way.
Our enemies have filled' the battle lines too long for them
to undertake to successfully brush away the true situation
confronting them and the actual state of affairs should only
lend encouragement to the people cf the United States and
our allies to such an extent as to continue in our aims, more
determinedly than ever, to wage our battles for the pre
servation of democracy.
The more we read of the manner in which the Teutons
are oppressing their cwn people, the clearer it is to us to
see the purpose of the sacrifices we are making and we
have hopes of winning, at an early date, the most import
ant victory ever won in the world. Too, it is glorious to
know that our efforts necessary to carry m the War in
which yve are now engaged will not, by any means, be as
sacrificial as we read of in past history.
However, it is not to be presumed that it will not be
necessary for us to unite as a solid people in order to ac
complish the desired end when we apeak cf waging this
war. We have failed to realize, so far, what it means to
he continually thrown in war for a period of several years
and we want to feel enrouraged over the situation only to
the extent of being more determined in our fight for a
righteous purpose.
We must begin anew to make our little sacrifices at
home, make an extra effort to accomplish things that will
tend to speed up our further war measures, thereby* bring
ing about a closer end to the world wide critical state of
affairs.
Ly H. ADDINGTON BRUCE.
Personal observation leads me to fear that we are to wit
ness through tlte coaling months a revival of the fur craze
of tlie past two summers.
' Why any young woman—or any older and presumably
j wiser one—should wear furs in the summer is beyond my
1 understanding.
Vanity, \\e may assume, must have something tc do with
it. But surely, with a world a war, no right thinking wom
an would wish to lay herself open to the charge of being
light mindly vain.
And I can assure the women who parade in summer furs
that they need not l'eel aggrieved if people regard them as
being unpatriotically out of tune with the earnestness and
seriousness of the times.
Overalls would be far more becoming to them in these
grave days. At all events, gloriousness of attire is ono of
, the last things they should be thinking about.
For reasons of personal health, too, furs ought to be kept
in storage until cold weather returns to justify their be
ing w-ern.
Furriers, eager to keep business booming, have been at
some pains, it appears, to design special furs for summer
season. Thus we read:
“American furriers have been making new combinations
whereby furs have been blended-with summery materials
ranging from chiffon to lace, so that tpparel has been pro
vided neither very heavy nor very bulky in weight or ap
pearance.”
Likewise this pleasing information is given us:
j “Capes and scarfs that are designed t be draped loosely
I over the shoulders do not have a clasp at the neck at all.
I “Some of these scarfs contain considerable fur, but are
( not so placed as to cling about the shoulders as they would
were protection from cold desirable."
Ncne the less, it stands to reason that when not a breath
of air is stirring, w hen the sun is beating down relentlessly
and when the thermometer is soaring toward the hundred
mark, the effect of furs draped over neck and shoulders can
hardly be hygienic.
The excessive heat of our American summers is enervat
ing enough without aggravating its evils by wearing furs,
however light. And it is absurd for those who wear furs
in summer to pretend that they “do act feel them.’’
The mere tact that ihey know they are wearing furs will
of itself increase their consciousness of the unpleasant
loree of the rays of the summer sun.
Lei them abandon their furyy adornments and wear only
light, loose clothing. Quickly they will notice a change for
the better in the state cf their feelings.
Also they will be freeing themselves from a real risk of
unduly weakening their systems in such a way as to invite
nervous or other ailments, particularly maladies of throat
or lungs.
In fine, there is not one good reason for the wearing of
furs in summer. There is more than cne good reason for
not wearing them.
