Mossy Creek campmeeting has
come and .gone. Many sermons
glittering with the light of Chris¬
ta! nity were heralded to the congre¬
gations by preachers of great ora¬
torical ability. No man can calcu¬
late the effect of these sermons up¬
on the public but we venture the
statement that much heard by those
upon attendance earnestly seeking
for truth, which is a greater under¬
standing of Bible teachings, has
been cherished in their mind for
consideration upon their arrival in
their homes. The crowd in at¬
tendance was inestimable to an un¬
trained eye. ft seems that a fair
estimate of automobiles on the
ground would be done justice in
saying from six to eight hundred,
and numberless wagons and bug¬
gies were on the encampment.These
with the aid of the G. & N. VV. R.
R. conveyed the crowd to and from
the campmeeting, and (lie railroad
people deserves praise for the man¬
ner in which they handled the
surging swelling crowd without a
single accident, or unusual incon¬
venience.
Mrs. F. II. Iligdon, of Frank¬
lin, N. C., accompanied by her
sister-in-law, Miss Margie Higdon,
arrived last week on a visit to Mrs.
Higdon’s parents for a short time.
Mr. Julius Adams, of Campion,
Ga., is here on a visit to his sister.
Mrs. Homer Thompson. This is
Mr. Adams second visit to Cleve¬
land and the boys are all glad to
have in their midst again.
Mr. Solomon Maloof spent Mon¬
day night in town. Mr. Maloof
has been in Dahlonega for several
months where be has been engaged
in business. He was in business
in Cleveland some years ago and
bis friends here were glad to see
him again.
Miss Ida Belle McAfee, of Ala.,
is here on a visit to relatives for a
short time.
Mr. VV. C. Logan, after spend¬
ing a day or two in town, returned
to tiis home at the toll gate Tues¬
day. Mr. Logan has been at. the
home of Mr. John A. Ledford,near
Loudsville, for the past few
months, but has concluded to re¬
turn to the old home so close to the
foot of the mountains.
Isn’t it truly something to be
sorrowful for when whiskey makes
a man waste his good money when
it could have been better spent?
Time and again have we pointed
kindly and pleadingly to the way
that leads to moral and material
deprivations, but again we point
out with due respect the dangers
ahead. Who will be the first from
White county to serve twelve
months in the penitentiary for vio¬
lating the prohibition law? It’s
going to be somebody. If you
obey the law it will be the
fellow ; if you don’t it may be you.

Cleveland Millinery Co,
The sad news of the death
Mr. Pledger Barrett, son of
and Mrs. Edgar Barrett, of
Leaf, saddened the hearts of
and acquaintances in Cleveland.
His death is generally conceded
be suicidal. It is supposed that
had become suddenly
and perhaps being despondent
ended his life with a shotgun,
load taking effect in the forehead,
from which death immediately re¬
sulted. So sudden a shock upon
the parents is almost unbearable,
and the whole community mourn
with them in their grief for the loss
of a son, loved and cherished in
the home.
The good ladies (and they are
all good) about Loudsville are pre¬
paring to attend their campmeet
ing situated in a community of
splendid people; a people who
rather enjoy tiie style of tlie “good
old days” when their forefathers
used to attend campmeeting when
campmeeting was worth while in
its work for good in its various
avenues of righteousness. The
preachers assisting in the meeting
this time will be Revs. , 1 . K. Allen
(who hiss forgotten Bob?), of
Washington, Ga.; Marvin Frank¬
lin, of Danielsville, Ga., and they
are sure to make everybody feel
and do better after having heard
them. The meeting opens Wed¬
nesday night, August 29th and
runs until Monday morning with
closing exercises at 8 o’clock.

FINANCING THE WAR.
The United States is financing
itself in this war by loans and tax¬
es. It obtains funds from the peo¬
ple, some by taxation and some by
the sale of bonds, and then it goes
into the markets and buys from the
people what it needs. The people
supply the government with money
and the government with this
money buys from the people what
it needs for the war.
There are three sources from
which the United States can draw
the sinews of war. First is the
fixed property of the nation. This
represents our farms, factories,
mines, railways and all other pro¬
perty including accumulated sav¬
ings. From the corpus or body of
none of these, except the accumul¬
ated savings, will the government
obtain war funds, and even from
the accumulated savings it
draw a relatively small portion.
These accumulated savings are in¬
vested in industries and
which are necessary to the
welfare and prosperity and it
only that portion of these
which are seeking investment
the government will receive iu
change for bonds.
The second and the great
from which the goverment is
derive its war fund is the
produced during the war. Part
this it will obtain by taxation
part in exchange for bonds.
annual production of the
States, from its farms,
factories, and other sources,
mounts to fifty billion dollars
year and out of this fifty
dollars will come the funds,
from taxes and part from the
of bonds, with which the
States will finance itself
this war.
By taxation this generation
pay its portion of the cost of
war. By the sale of bonds
next generation is called upon
pay its portion, and this last
tion will be paid from the
production after the war.

THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA.
Bv this method the capitol of the
country, its sources of income and
wealth, are unimpaired. It is only
the yearly increment of this pro¬
perty that is called upon to bear a
portion of the cost of the war.
Thus despite the waste of war and
tiie destruction of property involv¬
ed the country may emerge from
the conflict stronger financially,
more efficient arid even wealthier
than before. What the govern¬
ment receives from the people
without impairing the sources of
wealth of the county, and passes it
back to the people in exchange for
the productions of the county. It
is in a way only a shifting of cre¬
dits.
The government collects the cur¬
rent taxes and by means of bonds
anticipates taxes of the years to
come, and all the money thus
acquired passes back into the hands
of the tax-payers. This is why
governments which follow sound
economic methods not only are not
itnprovished by wars but sometimes
emerge the stronger as England
did after the Napoleonic wars and
tiie United States did after our
great Civil War.

Use Of Idle
Lands Imperative
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
The South possesses vast areas of
land which have not been cultivated
up to the present time, yet are capa¬
ble of growing large quantities of food
at a reasonable cost if skillfully han¬
dled. This applies not only to idle
farm land, but to the vacant lands sur¬
rounding manufacturing plants and the
cut-over lands belonging to lumber¬
men. Some manufacturers are giving
their employees one or two days off
each week for the cultivation of these
lands; a patriotic example which
should appeal to all employers. Few
people realize that shipping facilities
will be greatly curtailed this fall and
winter and that it may be out of the
question to ship supplies Into the state,
even should the West have a large
surplus. Therefore, even though the
production is normal, it may be im¬
possible for the South to obtain the
surplus of other sections. On the oth¬
er hand, if the food production is a
partial failure, there may be acute suf¬
fering in the South, which can be pre¬
vented only by the careful utilization
of all agricultural lands in the produc¬
tion of food and forage. This is imper¬
ative.
Sorgluim For Forage
John R. Fain, Prof, of Agronomy, Ga.
State College of Agriculture
Of all the various forage crops pro¬
duced in the State sorghum is un¬
doubtedly the best, yielding a good
tonnage of excellent forage under
practically all conditions of soil, mois¬
ture and climate. Irrespective of
drouth, when rain comes, it develops
rapidly and yields at least a fair ton¬
nage. In addition to the low cost of
seed, which Is a factor of importance,
It is relished by all classes of stock
and produces good gains in live weight.
Seeding may be broadcast or in drills;
both methods have advantages. When
planted in the production of baled hay,
broadcasting gives excellent results.
However, planted in rows it yields a
greater tonnage and there is the add¬
ed advantage of cutting and shocking in
the field, and feeding direct from the
shock.

Fire Destructive
To Grazing interests
Various studies by experts of the
United States Department of Agri¬
culture and of the College of Agricul¬
ture prove beyond doubt the fact that
.the annual burning of the range is
very detrimental to the grazing inter¬
ests. Surveyed areas, a part of which
were burned over annually, showed
markedly the effect of fire. The burn¬
ed-over areas supported a smaller
amount of coarse, worthless forage
than did the unburned areas. In addi¬
tion, the unburned areas showed a
gradual increase - in the variety and
kind of valuable forage plants. The
stock grazing on the two classes of
areas were weighed each year, show¬
ing an advantage of several pounds
per head in favor of the unburned
range.
Feeding the Milk Cow
Milton P. Jarnlgan, Prof, of Animal
Husb., Ga. State Cot. of Agriculture.
Under-feeding is responsible for
much of the financial loss Incurred
by dairymen. It must be remembered
that the cow uses at least half the
full feed for maintaining the body.
She should be given one pound of con¬
centrates for each 3 to 5 pounds of
milk produced; furthermore, the con¬
centrated part of the ration should be
high in protein. In whatever form
roughage may be given, the cow’s ap¬
petite should be the measure of the
amount allowed. Silage can be pro¬
duced very cheaply in the South and
every farm with more than ten head
of milk cows should have one.
Reducing the
Boll Weevil Damage
J. G. Oliver, Field Agent in Weevil
Control.
Fields in which the stalks were de¬
stroyed now show a marked differ¬
ence from those where the stalks stood
all winter. The destruction of stalks
in the early fail resulted in the death
of the weevils which would have win¬
tered over besides destroying large
quantities of eggs No weevils were
found up to the first of this month
on the fields where the stalks had
been destroyed, while on other fields
the weevils were plentiful. Naturally
the weevil winters over where the
cold weather catches him and, in the
spring, attacks the nearest cotton field.
If there were a concentrated action
on the part of all farmers in the de¬
struction of stalks, the control of the
weevil would be a simple matter.
Growing Pole Beans
Not only as an excellent food in
itself but also as a possible substi¬
tute for wheat in the making of bread,
the production of beans in Georgia
should be enormously increased. A
quantity of green and dried beans oan
be produced in the cornfield for table
use during late summer, fall and win
ter.
The fulfillment of a century of hope and
promise is realized in The Baldwin Piano.
Never have pianos so completely fulfilled
the requirements of the artist and the dis¬
criminating public.
