AN EDITORIAL LOR ROYS
Atlanta newspapers carry lists of recruits for the army and
navy which average from a dozen to two dozen daily. It is a
fact that most of these boys are in their teens, and are totally
in ignorance as to the real conditions they will have to face as
soldiers or sailors in the army or navy.
We would not pretnd to give advice to men who have
reached the full age of maturity, but there is nothing amiss in
a word to boys who might be misled by the flowery arguments
of a recruiting officer.
It is significant that while commercial advertisers continue
to. set forth the favor their wares enjoyed hi the eyes of the
set vice men, the service itself lias no such references cn offer to
its prospective recruits.
Any ex-soldier can tell you that a fellow lets himself in for
a lot that is not on the pretty picture posters when he signs up
with Uncle Sam.
If you contemplate joining rile military it's as little as you
can do to make some effort to learn something about what you
are going into. It may mean much to your luturc.
Better Facilities
Result of New
Machinery
j The Sentinel plant has been en-
j larged this week by the intallation of
the old New Era plant, of Villa Rica.
Much of the type and other material
is practically now, and all of it *s
serviceable, whicii considerably in
creases our capacity for newspaper
and job work.
The Sentinel job department is
turning out a big volume of high
quality printing and is now better
prepared than ever to do any kind of
commercial work.
The plant consists of plenty of
modern composing room equipment,
cylinder press, four job presses, lino
type machine, folding machine, paper
cutter, etc., and other accessories of
the printing trade.
At present the Sentinel must of
necessity conserve news print paper.
Therefore, only as much paper as can
be printed without waste will be
used until the scarcity is alleviated.
It was reliably reported that on a
! certain day last week there were
! only three tons of news print paper
i available for weekly papers in Atlan-

The Latest Drive
NATION-HADE CAMPAIGN HAIEN COUNTRY GOES
DRY
The Anti-Saloon League plans a campaign, to begin oil
January i.6, the purpose ol which is to raise funds to he used
in combatting liquor. Coming as it will, in the wake ol the
various other drives we have passed through, its chances for
success may, or may not, be great; depending upon the attitude
of the people toward the campaign, and the arguments that may
be brought forward to prove the effectiveness of the league's
methods.
But we feel that education must be spread among the
people of all classes, bringing to bear them the great risk in
curred by all who have anything to do with the illict liquor
traffic. It is a community problem, requiring community
co-operation.
It may take leap year to save the
toyntry.—Greensboro Herald-Journal.
It^ought to be nice working at the
$ourt house. Its clock always shows
4:41—quitting time.
Statistics show, so far, that only
847 paragraphers inquired, “Did you
iWrite it 1919 ?”
“A Cemetery—and Sermon.”—Head
line in newspaper. Did we hear any
body say something about a “cart
before the horse?’’
“Drink only when thirsty,” says
doctor in newspaper. He might
have added, “and then be careful.”

ON WHICH SID
ARE YOU?
PROHIBITION WILL BE ENFC RCED.
That is as certain as the doom of the liqaor
traffic.
BUT IT WILL NOT ENFORCE ITSELF.
It will not be enforced by lax officials, elected
by the vote of the “bootleggers.”
SUPPORT CANDIDATES WHO STAND
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT.
The fight against the licensed barroom has
been won.
It must be followed up.
1 HE LAW OF THE LAND MUST BE
OBEYED.
To assist in enforcing Prohibition there will be
| a week’s campaign for funds, beginning January
jl 16, the day the 18 amendment becomes effective.
