'SHORTAGE OF PRODUCTION
| IS PROBLEM OF THE DAY
Editor Constitution: Every man is
entitled to a living—a living is food,
raiment and shelter. A living re
quires labor. Labor alone will pro
duce food, raiment and shelter. Mon
ey is not a living, nor can it alone
produce a living. Our troubles today
are due to mankind’s pursuit of the
production of money, and in conse
quence a lessened quantity of food,
raiment and shelter. If we continue
in this channel a few years longer,
we will have more money. Yes, but
there will be no food to buy. Gov
ernment ownership of railroads will
not solve the problem. All reform
laws of prohibition, woman suffrage,
etc., will not solve the problem.
High wages, eight hours for labor
and strikes will not give us a pound
more of food and raiment or a shin
gle more of shelter. Government con
trol of prices of staples don’t add
anything to increased production of
food or raiment. “Special interests”
have influenced legislation to in
crease their store of money until to
day they are holding themselves up
by “their own boot straps.” (In
“special intertsts” I include labor un
jons with capitalists and corpora
tions.) The combined deliberate re
sult of their efforts has been the
lessened production of the necessities
of man for a decent living. The ac
cumulation of money they have set
as the prime object of life and a re
duced output of food, raiment and
shelter, and the lawmakers of this
country have added with all their
power in this accomplishment.
We are moving too far away from
natural laws on an artificial basis of
legisuation. Nature is a safe and
sure provider if not hampered by laws
of “special interests.”
" I can feed by my own labor my
family on a farm of ten acres and
not hurt myself physically by the
hours I work. I can nearly double
the products of that farm by a slight
increase in the hours I labor. Won’t
it follow as “sure as night follows
day” that if I double the product that
quantity cheapens the cost of all per
pound, and in consequence my neigh
bor will get my surplus at a lessened
price. That is a natural law. So
that what the world needs today is not
lessened hours of labor, but more
production, though it means more
hours of work per day. It takes pro
ducts to bring money, and products
‘only provide the living, so why re
duce production simply to acquire
money—it’s building a house on sand
pillars to reduce production and ex
pect to earn a “living” by increased
wages. Too many men producers on
the farm are lured to the city by
“high wages’’ and become non-produ
cers. The “deluge” is in sight—it
can be averted by building the “ark”
of increased production, and we will
all get a living, regardless of wages
or hours. Martin Amorous.
Marietta, Ga., Aug. 12, 1919.

To The City Housewife---
It is very seldom that you will find a fancy grocery store and
general merchandise store embodied in one.
Generally speaking you would class a general merchandisé
store as one who limits their trade to the country business exclu
sively; not so in our case, for here we take just as much interest
in our city trade as we do in our country trade and point with
pride to the fact that we enjoy the business of hundreds of sat
isfied customers right here in the city. -
For your convenience we maintain a delivery truck service,
and when you place your orders here you may feel sure that they
will receive our very best attention.
Here we have the most complete line of staple and fancy
groceries to be found in the city and are ever alert to attend to
the wants of our city customers.
So when speaking of a general merchandise store don’t for
get that there is one who appreciates a good city trade as well as
a good farmer trade.
We are at Your Service
