THE UNITED WAR WORK CAMPAIGN.
The several organizations employed In connection with
the United States military forces in providing ccmforts
for soldiers composing our military forces both in this
country and in Europe, deserve and should have the whole
hearted consideration of every man, woman and child in
America.
The military organizations of our government, it must
be understood, are made up of men of every walk of life,
from every section of the country. This fact alone should
bring to our minds the importance of employing every
possible method to bring about as many conveniences as
possible for our men in uniform.
The organizations composing the United War Work are
engaged in furnishing information, personal comfort and
conveniences to our soldiers, and the manner in which
they operate abords much consolation to the men in our
military ranks. They are all given recognition by the war
department and only through these organizations can our
soldiers look for special help.
In carrying on our military affairs, we meet take into
consideration the fact that the government has gladly giv
en way for the Army Y. M. C. A., the War Camp Commu
nity Service, the American Library Association and the
several other organizations of the United War Work for
the sole purpose of lending encouragement and comfort to
the men who are required to conform to the rules of the
regular army officials. This recognition granted by our
government already is appealing to our allied nations and
will no doubt have its weight in raising the morale of the
military forces of the world.
GAMBLERS.
By ROBERT 8. CARVER, In Augusta Chronicle.
The Cotton States Official Advisory Marketing Board of
Commissions at Washington advise* farmers nbt-to sell
cotton at present gambler’s prices—that New York and
New Orleans speculators are trying to break the price to
a twenty-cent level.
Time was when the cotton farmer of the South was
little better than an Industrial slave, because speculators
In New York could so manipulate the price that the farm
er was forced to sell at ruinous figures.
But times have changed. Cotton farmers are raising
other crops and have foodstuffs to live on, and money in
the bank in most' instances. They don’t have to sell now,
and by holding on to the staple they can get a fair price.
The world needs cotton as much as it needs foodstuffs.
The cotton farmer has been long-suffering, now, who would
have the temerity to deny him the prosperity he ha* so.
hardly earned?
Every farmer ought to hold on to his cotton till he gets
a fair price—the cards are all In his hands. Let the gam-
blertf gamble all they please—they can’t spin cotton yarns
out of fluctuations.
Five Strong Reasons For Painting This Fall.
(By Roy C. Sheeler, Ass’t Advertising Mgr. John Vucaa &
Co., Inc., Philadelphia.)
Five strong reasons for fall painting:
1. In the Fall, the surface is thoroughly dry. During
the Spring, a surface which needs repainting is sure to con
tain moisture and dampness <gt frost, and it cannot be suc
cessfully painted until it has thoroughly dried out.
2. When the wood is dry, it absorbs more of the paint.
The paint ronetrates deeper into the wood 1 , therefore gets
a firmer hold on It. giving the paint coating greater tenaci
ty or holding qualities.
3. Paint cannot be appleid as successfully n damp,
cli'-ndy or unsettled weather as in warm, sunny weather.
In the fall the weather is more settled and uniform and is
warmer; therefore- it is an excellent time for painting.
4. A house needs Its detecting coat of paint more In
the winter months than at any other time. A house in need
of repainting should never be allowed to go over the winter
without this pn-tection.
5. It is easier to keep moisture and dampness out by
applying a coat of paint when the surface is dry. than it
Is to get moisture or dampness out of the wood when you
want to apply paint.
A LESSON FROM IT.
Next Monday a campaign will he waged all over Amer
ica in an effort to raise more than $170,000,000 to he ex
pend* i in carrying on this United War Work, and every
state, every ccunty and every community will be assessed
a certain amount for the raising of this enormous fund.
The mdertaking is an important one and no man can deal
fairly without appropriating to this -cause.
Baldwin county must raise several thousands of dollars
in order to complete our qn ta in this United War Work
campaign. We have young men in the trenches In France
and in the army camps in this country who are looking to
us for comfort and aid through the organizations of the
United War Work, and certainly no cne would he willing
,to deprive them of the conveniences heretofore afforded
them.
Keep their hearts strong, their spirits bright and their
courage high for the gruelling task over there! Give lib
erally to the United War Work Campaign.
What has become of the old fashioned U-boat menace?
Happy men make the best fighters. Help make cur
soldiers and sailors happy by giving to the United War
Work Campaign.
From the- Industrial ludex.
The magniiicent manner in which the Amercian people
are lmancing every enterprise of the government, when
this financing is in 1/ir.ns, n>.t of millions, hut of billions,
contains not on:y its vivid and inspiring patriotic demon
stration, hut also has a lesson that can be gratefully aud
ir.itfuiiy recalled in that happy period of peace and indus
try that wili follow this war.
The first point is, that ..there's lots of money In this
country—more than we ever dreamed of iir realized, res
pite the dry statistics on the subject.
The second point is, that much of this money is surplus

otriuus inconvenience.
There have always been efforts to raise capital in this
country lor development und C.r worthy enterprises, and
the American investor has not been slow to respond to the
knock oi opportunity, provided the knock was loud enough.
Lui Uncle bam had to come al- ng and show all these so-
culiedf money-raisers what pikers they really were! True,
ne had a marvelous organization, composed of men, wij'nren

countries. But even when the size aud completeness oi

is given tor the patriotic feature, the iac-t r.mains that
Uncle Sain lias pulled money out of the masses of the peo-
i>le in a way that the old fashioned bond salesman and in
vestin', at folk simply would not have deemed possible.
It cau be -done! The. United States government has
demonstrated it.
The people of this country have acquired the investing
and saving habit as n- ver before. They have learned how
to do without many tilings that they don’t really need.
I .Many of them, for the first time, have learned to save.

irst time in their lives, und find them fair to behold and
still pleasanter to clip.
The United States will lie confronted with another stu
pe ndots task when this gigantic war is over. We have
become world-traders almost overnight. Our commerce
now fills tlie seven seas. Our ships and our goods are wel
come in every p:rt. Immense industrial nnd -commercial
expansion will lie necessary in our country in order to take
cure of homo and foreign requirements. Broaily speak

of reconstructing Europe, und. of course, America must fur-

Diversification In Terrell,
From the Dawson News.
Terrell county has produced only about half as much
cotton tills year as was grown three or f ur years ago, and
the farmers are a great deal more prospero s than ever
before. Diversification is working wonders.

Ail this will call for money. Formerly we went to Eng
land and France for much of our capital. The war has
demonstrated to us thui th greatest financial reservoir in
the world is right here in the United States of America.
The American people have acquired the saving, lending,
invtetlng habit as never before. They will finance the
problems of peace just as they are financing the problems

HOLD YOUR COTTON
ADVICE OF BOARD
Why Editors Are Rich.
After-War Prosperity In The South.
From The Houston Post.
The South-rn Trade Conference hold in Atlanta a day
or two ago il.sct.-seJ important subjects. The speakers
agreed that alter the war the South's chief staple products
—cotton, cot! n goods, cottonseed products, naval stcr.s
and lumber—would be in great demand.
It is worth while to emphasize Hie truth of this fact.
foi it >s unquestionably true that the South is going to sut
ler far less in the coming readjustment period than any
other part of tlie country.
The law of averages or the law - f compensation will
Hfsert itself. The South being an agricult rai country and
chief producer of cotton, suffered a frightful shock when
tin war suddenly started in 1914. Since that lime cotton
has reached new high levels and where good yields have
been enjoyed the producers have grown rich.
So we havo» seen since, the great outpouring f war
money has betn upon the Northern sections of the coun
try, because the South had so few plants that could par
ticipate heaviiy in the war orders.
In th early peace period, however, the shifting of North
ern industry from war lo peace activities Is apt to prodice
unemployment temporarily and perhaps business embar
rassment.
Thi will not he generally tru-’ (if tlie South, for just as
soon as Europe can put some orders in American markets,
cotton aud cotton products will begin to s’-ar in price.
Europe is badly in need of clothing, Germany nnd her
alias aro practically naked, but England, France nnd Rus
sia are scartely less anxious to have unrestricted access to
American cotton ports. We .shall have an immediate keen
export demand for nearly all our staple products, nnd this
di mand Is likolv t.o prevail at high levels for several years.
It will he a day of real prosperity for the South, for it
will mean an abundant tide of dollars flowing in to neutral-

tion that will necessarily ensue during the period of post
helium deflutatiou.
A child is born in the neighborhood! the attending phy

Save Prune Stones for Carbon
SAVE PRUNE STONES FOR CARBON
Re it over so humble, the prune is a patriotic food. De
pending on their size, between two an.1 three hundred
prune stones will furnish eniugh carbon for one gas mask.
This carbon acts ns an air filter aud is the soldiers’ pro-
teiUou against the deadliest German poison gas.
Sources from which suitable carbon can be secured are
extremely limited in amount, and the Food Administration
points out that prune stones which make an excellent qual
ity of carbon, must n t be wasted. In addition to prune
sionea, peach stones, apricot pits, olive pits, date seeds,
cherry pits and plum pits, Brazil nut, hickory nut, walnut
nnd butternut shells furnish material for gas mask carbon.
No other pits or shells should he substituted.
