CONSCRIPTION OF WEALTH.
The world at large had a taste of
•what war may do for a community
and organized society during the
late struggle when conscription was
applied with a stern and far reaching
hand in practically every country
engaged in the war. It seemed a
strange and shocking thing that peo
ple who had all their lives been ac
customed to unrestrained freedom
should find themselves helpless be
fore the iron machine of war—forc
ed to thkb up arms and fight wheth
er wished to do so or not. In
the last war conscription was ap
plied chiefly to men. But this step
showed the way along which war
preparedness will move in the fu.
ture.
In the future wars will be so far
reaching and terrible that every re
source possible must and will be
mobilized' and hurled into the con
flict. Not only will men be mobized
but factories, transportation facili
ties, and even individual wealth will
be grasped by the government and
cast headlong into the common
cause.
Recent agitation ill favor of laws
making conscription of wealth pos
sible in many countries shows the
drift of thought on this matter. And
5f the government should succeed—
whidh in the course of time it will—
wars will be hard to start. When the
wealthy and business interests of all
-countries know that in the event of
war all they have will be seized and
.appropriated- to the common good—•
when all chance of war profits is
wiped out—•' the powerful influence
of wealth will be arrayed as far as
possible against war, and in that way
a road may be opened to something
which resenibles permanent peace.

•jP* CLEAN FARMING.
V.l-
More is demanded for
farm management everywhere. Since
ifarming- has begun to be a proses
.sion an'd a business, the farmer has
become a Manager. A good manager
does not follow old methods unless
the I finds good reasons for them. It
has become very unprofitable blind

ilt -would have an intense and im
mediate effect on the situation if all
farmers went in for Clean Farming.
This te one point at which every
farmer can tackle the problem. Ob-
Trarve the well kept farms; they are
the profitable farms. They are not
wbll'kept because they are profita

as Is plowing or harrowing.
Successful industrial managers
know the value of a clean factory,
but clean ground is even more im
portant, because the ground is “liv

liest enemies arise from the neglect
ed corners of his land.—Henry Ford.
EDITORS ARE HUMAN.
When a ticklish situation arises
in a town it Is <" , :ite i|. t fashion to
remark that 'he newspapers ought to
t;:y sonnetV iig sharp i* out it.
The avarag'. citizen feels quite
certain that he could run n newspa
per better Ih n the editor and if
h> were publishing that sheet, he'd
sh'.w 'em, you can bet. As a matter
of fact, if he has horse sense, he
-would do just as the editor does—
put the sos pedal on family rows,
church squabbles, and such matters,
of minor consequence which will ad
just themselves as time goes on.
Don’t expect the long suffering
small town newspaper man to advo
cate or attack any proposition which
you yourself the courage to
support or attack over your own sig
nature. The local paper is willing to
push any project in the public inter
est, but it is not willing to pull
chestnuts out of the fire for individ
uals or minorities.—Cape Vincent

COWBOY KNIGHT DIES
Westchester, Pa.—William (Buck)
Taylor, famous circus cowboy, whose
favorite stunt of picking up a dime
from the ground while traveling at
top speed on horseback became
known throughout America and Eu
rope, died recently in a hospital
here. He was six feet, seven inches
tall, weighing nearly 300 pounds,
and was known as the “knight of
the Cowboys.”
THE FACE OF LEE.
From out the rugged mountain side
There comes the face of Lee.
In living stone he stands to watch
The home land of the free.
Each patriot heart cheers at the
sight,
So majestic and grand,
Of Lee’s host marching ever on
To guard his own Southland.
To mortals yet to come, that face
Will be a wondrous sight.
Unchanging it will ever stand
For freedom and the right.
The rising sun each morn shall greet
The visinon ever new,
Of men who fought in coats of gray,
Against the men in blue.
Both North and South rejoice to see
This monument in stone,
To guard while time shall last the
land
That Lee claimed as his own.
Thro ages yet to come the face
Of Lee will be the same,
While father tells to son his deeds,
“ God bless his honored name.
Arise ye sons when duty calls,
Like General Lee of old,
Defend your country—then his face
A new message wil unfold.
Nations may rise and nations fall,
Great monuments decay;
This living shrine shall ever stand
Till earth shall pass away.

GEORGIA HAS EVERYTHING
BUT TWO ARCTIC OCEANS
There are only two things in the
world worth mentioning that Geor
gia doesn’t possess—the Arctic
and the Antarctic oceans.
Georgia contains all the southeast
except an ornamental trifle to the
north called North Carolina and a
rosette of flowers on the south call
ed Florida.
It is bounded on the east by the
Atlantic ocean, and the heat of the
gulf stream furnishes the warmth to
the Pacific to keep California from
freezing to death.
Under the mountains of north
Georgia there is so much gold that
the war debt would not equal the
'.nterest on its value.
Above it lies most of the sky and
all the major constellations, and
where the moon is brighter by night
ihan the sun is in daytime elsewhere.
Georgia is so big that the sun in
ten million yedrs has never been
able to cross it in less than one day.
At night it is always ready to set.
In Georgia it takes nine months
for its governor, its senators and its
representatives to reach the cnpitol
after election.
A map, in order to convey any
idea of the size of Georgia, would
have to be tattooed on the hide of
a sperm whale and the holes of the
eyes would be enough for the rest of
the United States.
If ail the hogs in Georgia were one
fair sized hog it could rot Califor
nia into the ocean in one tjrack of
its tail and his squeal would make
the thunders and roars of -Yosemite
sound like a jaybird pipping its egg
shefL
If all the steers in Georgia were
one big- steer he could drink out of
the Atlantic and brush the killilu
birds off the Golden Gate with his
tail.
Georgia has enough timber and
horses to supply chariots and four
for all of California's risen dead on
the resurrection morn and have
enough left to convey the mourners.
If California could suck as hard
as she blows she would drain the
Pacific ocean and follow her Moses
into a new Promised Land.
Poor old California, look upon
Georgia and weep!

A GOOD RULE TO FOLLOW.
The late John Wanamaker was not
only one of the most successful b.usi.
ness men America has produced, but
he was one of the best loved. He was
a well rounded success, for while he
was building up a fortune in money
he was also building up a good name
and laying up riches for the future
life. In the daily advertisements of
his store Mr. Wanamaker ur*d to
write short “editorials” and print
them in a corner of his advertise
ments. They were all good, and here
is one worth repeating:
It has come to me as a good rule
not to believe anything against an
other, unless it is confirmed; and
even when it is an assumed fact, my
rule is not to repeat it.
“I canot hold other people’s ton
gues and it has taken me a long time
to get control of my own tongue,
but it can be done!”
It would take a great deal of sor
row and ill will out of the world if
everyone would follow the practice
of Mr. Wanamaker in this respect.
No good ever comes from repeating
“taies” about another, but harm al
ways results. Businesses have been
bankrupted, lives wrecked and peo
ple have been driven to suicide by
the circulation of unfounded stories.
It is impossible to help anybody by
"speaking ill of another, why run the
i risk of ruining an innocent person?

THE NEWS HERALD, Lawreaeev«W, Georgia
WILL AMEND THE
CHARTER OF BUFORD
Buford, Ga„ June 19.—At the last
regular session of the Buford city
council this august body voted for
several changes in the city charter
and same will be proposed at the next
session of the Georgia legislature,
which convenes on the fourth Wed
nesday in June for the regular fifty
day session.
One of the most needed amend
ments proposed was the one to change
the term of the mayor from a one
year term to two years. This change
will work for the best interest of the
city with the idea of having the work
ompleted by the time his term of of
fice expires. Furthermore it will be
the means of inducing the best busi
ness men of the city to aspire to the
office.
Another important amendment pro
posed was the one to permit the semi
annual collection of city taxe3. This
plan is followed in other nearby cities,
as well as the one proposed in the
first paragraph. By the collection of
taxes semi-annually the burden of
paying all the taxes will not fall upon
the shoulders of the citizens in the
fall of the year, when every other ac
count falls due. It further will facili
tate the handlling of the city’s affairs
without the need of borrowing money
at a high rate of interest from the
banks. The treasury will then have
money at the season of the year when
everything is drained and work can be
carried on during the summer months
while the weather will permit.
It is also proposed to amend the
charter so that the Buford paper will
be the official organ of the city of
Buford. « •
The work of the mayor and council
requiring considerable time and tax
ing the city governors to such an ex
tent that it is impossible for them to
give the city as much of their time
as is necessary it is proposed to in
crease the salary of the council mem
bers to SIOO per year and the mayor’s
salary to $250.
These amendments were carefully
discussed before that body, before a
vote on the question was taken. All
proposed amendments passed unani
mously except the first and fourth,
Councilman Hutchins being the dis
senting member.
All proposed charter amendments
are to become effective on the first
day of January, 1925.

mit the farmers who are behind with
their work to- get back to their fields.
The merchants of Buford will ob
serve Thursday afternoon, from i to
fi o’clock as a half holiday during the
summer until August 28th.
This will not inconvenience anyone
and the merchants who work soon aaad

MISS BROWNS CAS
WRECKED IN CRASH
Sunday morning about 11 o’clock,
Miss Mary Lou Brown, the proficient
young stenographer in the office of
Attorneys Robert L. and H. Cleonis
Cox, of Monroe, and whose home is
with her parents at Loganville, ha[>
pened to a very unfortunate occur
rence at the store of Ed C-Smith, at
what is known as “Split Silk,” a small
place between Loganville and Be
tween. In the car with Miss Brown
were her little sister, the little daugh
ter of Dr. Ed Braswell and the little
daughter of Mr: Ditmus Jacobs. They
were on their way to Monroe to at
tend revival services at the Fiffst
Baptist church. i
While driving along in the road, at
t’K- point mentioned, they were met
by-another car driven’by Mr. A. Yu
delson, a Hebrew citizen of Athans,
who was going at the rate of about
forty miles an hour and who, accord
ing to the best evidence in hand, was
taking .both sides of the road. Ini sub
stantiation of that claim, it is said
the car of Miss Brown had ainiosi
been brought to a standstill, in or h r
to avoid serious consequences, when
the Athens car ran into it.
Three of the wheels were torn from
Miss Brown’s car and it was turned
c< nipletely over and terribly damaged
otherwise, ard every occupant pf the
car, save Lie little Jacobs girl, were
more or less injured. Miss Mary Lou,
who 1 elieved her injuries' to be very
slight, awoke Monday morning to find’
that she was worse hurt than she.
■'hought for. Her little sister and the
Fttle Braswell girl, both of whom
were pinned under the machine, are
considerably injured, and maybe in
ternally so.
The accident is deeply regretted by
all who know Miss Brown, the other
children ard their parents, and are
all hopeful that nothing serious will
result frc ;n it.—Walton News.

FOREST CONVENTION
TO MEET JNATLANTA
Atlanta, Ga., June 19.—The Georgia
its president, will hold its annual con
vention in the auditorium of the
chamber of commerce building, At
lanta, on June 23rd, 1924.
“Unlike former conventions of this
association, and other forestry bodies
of recent years in the south, the pro
gram this year will be confined to a
one day meeting,’’ stated Bonnell H.
Stone, president of the Georgia For
estry Association, in issuing the call
-rough the press. “So many valu
able addresses on forestry, and vital
ly important reports have been made
recently on forest conditions in Geor
gia and other states, that we feel the
need of more concentrated study of
the facts and a thorough diseussu n of
our problem, our prospects, our pos
sibilities, and our plans and purposes
here in Georgia,’’ continued Mr.
Stone. “Georgia not only has to face
the fact of her rapidly diminishing
timber supplies, with absolutely no
provision for giving nature a chance
to renew- and perpetuate our forests
and woodlands, but Georgia has “New
Worlds to Conquer” for her industry
and commerce, and it would be the
greatest folly if we Georgians do not
agin at once to develop our' unsur
passed facilities for new wealth in
pulp and paper from our pines and
other trees in this state.”
“Our business men, civic organiza
tions, and all thinking citizens, are
cordially invited to meet with us on
June 23, and study Georgia’s golden
opportunity now for producing pulp
wood crops and developing this new
industry to go hand in hand with a
revival of lumbering and naval stores.
When forest fire prevention makes it
possible, we can raise pulp-wood
crops here in Georgia within ten to
fifteen years from seed. Poorer soils
and waste lands can thus- be utilized.
With pulp mills nearby, the vast
amount of waste in stumps and ma
>rial thrown out at the saw mills will
have a market, and farmers can grow
timber crops with the assurance that
their thinnings can be sold in the
sapling stages, and great wealth can
be brought to our people here in the
same way that this industry has been
so profitable in New England states
for generations past. The American
Pulp and Paper Mills are ready to
move southward more rapidly when
we have constant supplies of raw ma
terial in Georgia and other southern
states. If Georgia does not take ad
vantage of this situation by giving
state encouragement and-leadership in
fire prevention and just' taxation on
forest lands, our sister 3tates will
most surely forge ahead: i*r this basic
industry as the foundation: of) their
progress and prosperity. Alabama,
Kentucky and Mississippi have only
recently passed new forestry legisla
tion. North Carolina, Louisiana, Ten
nessee, Virginia 'and others ate mak
ing renewed headway in their fores cry
work. Georgia, Florida, and South
Carolina are far behind thirprocession
at present, but no state iar the-union
has greater possibilities for future
forest wealth than has Georgia. Let
us arouse every ounce of pa'-.-iota-m
and state pride for Georgia at this
critical time, for we cannot afford to
wait roach longer while our state now
has more than twice as many forest
fires than any other state that fin's" a
star on our flag. The Georgia For
estry Association wants our-citizens
to be convinced: our peep' - to lie
prosperous; our cities to be closer to
the country: and all of this can be ac
complished if we will make of our
forests oor future fortune. Every
body is invited to devote a full day to
study and discussion of this problem,
on June 23, in the auditorium of ibe
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce build
ing. No set speeches will be on tne
program, but discussion wi l ! be open
to ail in this counsel fir the adoption
by Georgia of a definite forestry policy
at this time.”
The morning sessic* of th ; s impor
tant'meeting will be devoted to edu
cational plans, repor-Js of committees,
new business, discussion on forest in
fluences on health awl the public wel
fare, and the advisability of increas
ing the area of puHicly owned forest
lands by our governments, local,
county, state, and national, for re
creation and the preservation, of wild
life, as well as fok economic uses.
At the noon linur there will be a
luncheon conference, to whic'k the pub
lic is invited, iqaonsbred by the Fed
erated Women's Clubs ami at which
the governor of Georgia and others
will make brief talks.
The afternoon session-will be de
voted to round table dismssion on the
state forestry policies, resolutions aad
the annual election of officers.
In the evening a special forestry
dinner will be given by the association
to friends of the forestry movement
in general, and further discussion bn
state forestry policy be open to
