THE FARMER IS NO SLACKER
Some few of our public men per
sist in branding the farmer as a slack
er. The Rev. Billy Sunday, while in
Atlanta, made some very slurring re
marks of that nature from the pulpit,
and only a few of our Georgia papers
refuted the statement.
Certain statesmen decided that
they could hog-tie the farmer’s vote
by opposing the government’s war
plans, but those gentlemen have ex
perienced a change of heart, or rath
er they have altered their tactics.
To be a real patriot at home, there
are two principles that must be strict
ly adhered to—work and conserva
tion. It is well to buy Liberty Bonds
and War Saving Stamps, but that is
not the supreme duty of the citizen
at home, for our great nation has an
almost unlimited credit.
Of the work to be done, there are
many complex phases. The gist of
the results of that labor must be food
and munitions.
So in the last analysis the Ameri
can farmer is bearing the brunt of
the gonflict. From sun to sun, on
he guides his plow, on he wields the
hoe, he is the bulwark of support be
hind the man behind the gun.
Will this citizen do his full part?
He did it nobly in 1776, 1812, 1865,
1898, and he is doing it now, and he
will continue to do so without hope
of the glory accorded to the soldier.
It is to be hoped that the farmer
may be rewarded for faithful service
in a financial way. Has he not done
much for which his only reward was
the satisfaction that came from duty
well performed?
Remember, you who treat the far
mer lightly, who sneer at his patriot
ism, and regard him as your infetior,
that he is the man upon whom the
world depends for bread and cloth
ing. He is your voluntary conscript.
Right cheerfully he stands between
you and the soil. |
“Rube” isn’t much to look at, his
shoulders are toil bent, and his gram
mar isn’t always elegant, but under
the rough exterior lies a heart of pure
gold. ~
When the legions of righteous de
mocracy vanquish the hordes of au
tocracy and peace once more finds
$0 abiding place, the farmer will have
»zain proven himself a citizen of no
mean worth. ‘

ICE CREAM SODAS FOR SAMMY
One million ice cream sodas.
A—ah! i
Sufficient to cool the throats of a
flock of giraaffes—ice-cold, fizzy,
flavored with “strobry,” ‘“razzbry,”
“pineapple” or “chalkate.”
Um—m!
They may not seem S 0 imposing
here in the Sunny South, with soda
fountains on every corner, but—oh,
boy! won’t they be sample packages
of heaven to the American boys over
in the war zone? And the assurance
of at leats a million fruit flavored
drinks as a starter is found in the
cabaled order just received by the
Overseas Department of the Y. M.
C. A. War Work Council, from Paris
headquarters in France as follows:
“Send quickly concentrated fruit
syrups for a million summer drinks.”
France’s pet drinks, champagne
and red wine, are going to turn an
absinthe green with jealousy this
summer when the Great American
Drink begins fizzing along the battle
front and going over the top of the
glasses. So it is a sure thing when
the heat of June begins to give the
American soldier boys an awful thirst
they will turn gratefully from the
trenches to the “Y” huts where they
received hot chocolate last winter,
and there they will clamor of the
Red Triangle secretaries for a ‘“stro
bry” or a ‘“‘razzbry sody” soon.
Possibly to assure plenty of foam,
the same cablegram ordered the Y.
M. C. A. to send one ton of shaving
soap. Among the other creature
comforts for the soldiers required in
France are ten tons of chocolate bars,
ten tons of granulated sugar, ten tons
of flour, ten tons of assorted cigar
ettes, and five tons of smoking to
bacco.
It will be noted that no chewing
tobacco is ordered. This is not the
result of any prejudice on the part
of the soldiers against the American
habit which pained Dickens so much.
No, no. Modern warfare, that’s all.
The overseas secretaries reported
that a plug or fine cut devotee wit[:
his favorite quid of the Americal
weed in his mouth is seriously em
barassed when he hastily dons his
gas mask.
“With tobacco biting inside your
cheek, the ol’ gas mask anchored
'tween yer teeth, war sure is hell,”
argues one Southern soldier after a
front line adventure. So chewing
tobacco is no longer popular at the
front in France.

GEORGIA CORN MAKES
THE VERY BEST MEAL
If Georgia consumers would insist
¢1 having meal ground from Georgia
corn, it would prove of distinct ad
vantage to them, as well as to the
State, according to the Georgia De-’
partment of Agriculture. :
Georgia corn is notoriously sweet
er and more wholesome than western
corn and these qualities are of course
carried into the meal ground from it.
Georgia corn, too, is generally free
from the trouble that has arisen in
connection with large quantities of
western corn and western meal shipp
ed into Atlanta, which have become
fermented and useless for food. Thou
sands of pounds of this western corn
and meal have been recently seized
and condemned by the pure food de
partment.
Besides getting a better product,
the consumer of meal who demands
that from Georgia gorn, causes a
saving in transportation charges and
encourages Georgia food production
which, just at this time, is a most
important factor.

ful floral offerings that covered her
