WOMEN OF FORT VALLEY,
DO YOU WANT TO VOTE?
Mr. T. E. Tharpe, tax collector of
Houston County, has requested The
Leader-Tribune to ascertain for him
whether or not the women of Fort
Valley desire to register with a view
to qualifying for voting in future
elections. All males in Georgia are
required to register before they are
permitted to vote, and, while Mr.
Tharpe is without definite instruc¬
tions regarding the matter, it is as¬
sumed that women also will have to
register not less than six months
prior to elections in which they par¬
ticipate. Mr. Tharpe says that if the
women of Fort Valley want to regis¬
ter he will appoint a day and place
for them to do so.
If you wish to register we would
suggest that you fill out the coupon
below and mail it to The Leader
Tribune at once. The names of those
sending in the counpons will not be
published. The coupons will simply
be turned over to Mr. Tharpe for his
information. The Leader-Tribune’s
concern in the matter is simply to
render a public service to the com¬
munity and Mr. Tharpe.

register, if possible, at such time and
place as the Tax Collector may de¬
signate.

THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GEORGIA
With Judas Maccabes.
No footing! well, its rather queer;
No undeveloped mine;
My predecessors to this sphere
Have strung them on their line.
A word of praise I would advance,
About those poets good,
Had they bequeathed to me the
chance,
And pen and ink and mood
Thus 1 am left in what a strait!
Renowned Maeonides
Ne’er had like me to scratch his pate,
And end a verse with “these. »»
No place for me and no placer,
In vain I search the skies.
I can not write “vow” or “declare * •
Unless I plagiarize.
I’m not allowed to write a word
Of what a poet sees,
Or in Apollo’s hall be heard
Like great Demosthenes.
1 scorn to take what’s not my own—
For tuurn’s always thine—
And be exalted to a throne
Upon another’s line.
My predecessors just to vex,
But not antagonize,
I'll to my fairy car annex
Two mammoth butterflies;
And over fields they once did race,
My poet-friends, I mean,
My car shall move with insect-grace,
And brightest garlands glean.
The stars that marked the poet’s
rout
Like cosmic dust shall fall;
My butterflies will fun them out,
And coruscate for all.
I’ll extirpate “deep burning grief, .,
Just for my country’s sake;
My modus operandi brief:
Submerge it in a lake.
> . The fleecy clouds” I’ll daily shear
And of their wool I will
Fine fabrics weave from year to year
In my poetic mill.
What slothful hands! so little done!
How great the task for me!
i > The pleasing stories they have spun ft
Shall shining vesture be.
.. The melancholy days” that “come, ft
And “night with crystal tear,”
I will discard and bring in some
Adapted to this sphere.
The days shall be just as they were
Six thousand years ago
When Eve first wore a seal-skin fur,
And smiled upon her beau.
A long farewell, ye poets, dear,
Since you’ll not let me land,
I’ll dwell in my light airy sphere
And praise the goods you’ve can¬
ned.— W. C. Carter.

SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY MAPS MIS¬
LEADING.
It has long been the dream of geog¬
raphers to make a seris of maps of
the world on a uniform scale. Indeed,
it is considered unfortunate for
school children that the geographies
do not show all countries by maps on
a single, uniform scale, for unless a
student observes very carefully the
figures showing the scale of each map
or the figures showing the area of
the country mapped he is likely to get
the impression that certain distant
lands, which are generally mapped on
a smali scale, are smaller than those
with which he is most familiar. Take
Australia, for example: The maps in
the geographies now used in most of
our schools show it on a small scale—
about one-third as large as that used
for the map of the United States; yet
Australia is in fact nearly as large as
the United States—only about one
fortieth (2 la per cent) smaller.
China is generally shown smaller in
area than the United States, yet it is
about one-third larger.
The work of preparing maps of the
entire world on a uniform scale of
one to one million—that is, maps on
which one unit (any unit—inch, cent¬
imeter, millimeter, etc.) represents
one million like units on the ground—
has been under way for several years,
and the United States Geological Sur¬
vey, Department of the Interior, has
made considerable progress in its
work on the parts of this map that
were assigned to the United States.
The principle used in preparing these
maps, if adopted by the publishers of
school books, will give the children
accurate impressions of the relative
sizes of the countries of the world.

A Poet’* Dilemma And Revenge
There’s nothing left to write about
Nor place to which to go;
The poets all have ridden out
On Pegasus, you know.
And now they seek the Pleiades,
Those romping astral girls,
Or with Arcturus, if you please.
The dream of beauty whirls.
There’s nothing left to write at all;
“The balmy breeze” is gone;
*« The woodland, too, where linnets
call,”
And “the bright golden dawn. I *
“The birds that sing beneath the
eaves,”
And “softly cooing dove, »*
> i The forest with its whispering
leaves
Repeating songs of love.”
There’s nothing left to write about;
Goodbye, Miltiades!
They've taken you upon their rout

IDEAL CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
By Publicity Department, War Loan
Organization.
Christmas gifts are neither more
nor less than translated thoughts. A
selfish or a careless Christmas gift
is worth no more than a selfish or a
careless thought to the receiver, no
matter what its cost in money may
have been. That is why many a
youngster and many a grown-up also
finds Christmas day a time of bitter
disillusionment and disappointment.
Presents bought in selfish hope of
return, or in careless fulfillment of
obligation, or even for the fleeting
pleasure of the moment can never
bring real appreciation to the re¬
ceiver or real pleasure to the giver.
For they lack the essential elements
of “good will” and thought for the
future.
None of us has had so much that
we do not desire those near to us to
have more. None of us has lived so
successfully that we do not desire
others to avoid the mistakes we have
made. The successful Christmas gifts
are those which are based not on the
selfish pleasure of the moment but
on thought and care for the future.
None of us knows the future, but
each of us hopes for the future for
those near to us.
Scarcely a Christmas gift is dis¬
patched in this country that is not
accompanied by at least a perfunc¬
tory HOPE for the future. But it is
possible to give gifts which carry not
only a hope but an ASSURANCE for
the future, gifts that develop char-

acter, that inspire success that pro¬
mote independence. You can give
your youngsters a HABIT that is
worth more than money. Y’ou can
give them ■& training that should be a
part of the equipment of every
American. You can give them a pro¬
tection against misfortune which will
last them all their lives. AND THEY
WILL LIKE THEIR PRESENTS.
What is more, you can make your
presents cost what you will, and you
can buy them at any post office. All
you need do is ask for Government
Savings Securities. No matter how
slim or bulky your purse, they will
fit it. No matter if you can afford no
more than a 25 cent Thrift Stamp
pasted on its card you can do as
much toward giving your boy or girl
the habit of Thrift and Safe Invest¬
ment, as the man who gives his child¬
ren a $100 Treasury Savings Cer¬
tificate. You can start your young¬
ster on the way to financial inde¬
pendence and safety with a $5. War
Savings Stamp, as well as with a
$1000 Liberty Bond.
When you give those sound securi¬
ties, you put love and thought and
good will into your gifts as well as
money and you give happiness for
the future as well as the present.
No matter what concrete form
they take, YOUR THOUGHTS ARE
ALL YOU CAN GIVE FOR CHRIST¬
MAS. THINK IT OVER AND BUY
