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 ly follow the old ways ytear after .year. 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 • Me;-they, prpfitable because they ' are well kept. Cleanliness of the •fsvrm it :as essential to good crops 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 ing, and many of the farmer’s cost 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 <N. Y.) Eagie. KING LIKES SPURS. London. —The king’s regulations have been amended to provide that spurs shall.be worn with full dress and .service dress by all general of ficers, staff and mounted 1 officers.

The members of the club are often referred to as the' "'modern Pied Pipers.” j HONORABLE O. R. BENNETT QUALIFIES FOR POSITION HELD BY COM.

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. MRS. GEO. M. HONEA, Winder’, Ga. CHICKEN BARGAIN DAY WAS A SUCCESS Covington, Ga. The second Chicken Bargain day drew a crowd to Covington last Saturday. The merchants who offered bar gains report a good trade.

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! CRAIG R. ARNOLD, Member Legislature from Lumpkin County, Dahlonega, Ga., June IT, T 92 i 4. 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? CRIPPLED VETS HIKE San Francisco.—Two Spanish- American war veterans—one blind and the other crippled recently ar rived in San Francisco from-Los An geles after 31 days of hiking. The crippled soldied guided the expedi tion from his wheel chair, which was pushed by his sighless comrade. SEND US YOUR JOB WORK 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. Let Contract for Sidewalk. The street committee was instruct ed to sign a contract for the building of the sidewalk on Lee street from the Pattillo corner ati Main street to toe- Armstrong corner;. This contract was let to Mr. G. H. Deaton, local contractor, and is to be constructed of rock .and cement. Work has already started and it is hoped will be com pleted! within the next few weeks. Bufortd City Court, The regular June term of the, Bu ford city court convened Monday morning with Judge I. L. Oakes pre siding and Solicitor A. G. Liles in charge of the state affairs. All cases ripe for trial were dis posed of and at the end of the day’s grind the court was adjourned to> per 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 late are certainfiy entitled, to a vaca tion during the hot summer af-tor noons. 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. SEND US YOUR JOB WORK. 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 11 guests present.
