Harris and Hardwick are both in
our advertising columns this week.
Under three flags, our boys are
fighting, really under four, the Flag
of Italy, of France, of England, and
of the United States, all representing
one common purpose, the defense of
right and the overthrow of wrong.
Reports say that the Germans are
limited now to one egg per week, and
if we had ouyr way that onz would be
a rotten one.
Guyte McLendon is making an ac
tive campaign for Secretary of State,
and should easily win.
Will D. Upshaw is now in the race
for Congress in the fifth district, and
barring further entries or complica
tions seems to be away ahead in the
race.
H. H. Dean who never was “in”’
now seems to be “out” of the sen
atorial race by advice of his doctor.
Announcement has been made in a
semi-official way that the Govern
ment experts have found an effective
poison for boll weevils. It is not
possible however that it can become
of use in time to help any this year.l
The legislature is at work to con
trive a bill that wiil put all idle men
to work. If a practical law is framed
for this purpose they will have the’
thanks of the nation.
Alex Stephens is making a fight
for the Court of Appeals judgeship.
He should have had it in 1916 when
he received both the popular and the
county unit vote.
The day of the “steel mule” is fast
dawning, which is another way of say
ing that tractors will soon be drawing
the plows and hauling the loads
throughout Georgia.
We would direct your attention to
the paid ad of Hon. W. J. Harris, who
modestly advertises himself as “the
man of the hour.” However Mr. Harris
claims modesty as one of his strong
points. By reading his ad you will see
that Mr. Harris recommends himself
very highly.
According to the Harris papers,
Dean is a gentleman again since he
quit the race. Have they forgotton
his charges against Harris, who never
‘tried to answer him?
Now they have found out a New
York paper, The Mail, that took Ger
man money. The Treasurer is in jail
and the paper should be put out of
business.
A farmer was heard to say the oth
er day: “I never did like them Ital
ians, but since they have been licking
them Austrians so, I have made up
my mind to buy a whole bunch of ba
nanas from the first one that comes
along.”

| STOP THE BUSINESS
' The unmitigated gall of the liquor
interests of this country is fairly de
‘picted in the scurrilous sheet they
emit from Cincinnati semi-occasion
ally.
Although the liquor forces are on
their last legs, they stand boldly and
lay every disaster of every character,
at the door of the prohibitionists.
That they could expect any decent
paper to print the stuff, or any sane
man to believe it, is but another evi
dence of the blighting effect of the
business upon even the minds of those
associated with it. |
Let this Government do its work
properly and put this despicable bus
iness forever out of the lives of our
people.
Why this Cincinnati bunéh contin
ues to afflict us with their filthy
sheet is beyond our comprehension.
- ECONOMY IN PRINT PAPER
For some time we have seen it com
ing—the limitation of newsprint pa
per—and we have been as economical
as we could be with paper to carry the
news and our advertising to our sub
scribers.
Last week the War Industries
Board asked all newspapers to put
into effect a number of reforms to
save paper, and no doubt before long
each paper will be restricted to the
bare necessities of its circulation.
By proper editing, much that goes
into the papers might be left out en
tirely and suit the readers just as
well, and much which seems very im
portant could be cut into one fourth
the space.
As far as in our power lies, it is
our purpose to restrict the use of our
columns to the needs of the Govern
ment, and the claims and desires of
our subseribers.
We cannot afford to burden our
columns and our readers with long
and special articles not of general
interest. At the same time the size
of our paper will sometimes force us
to cut or leave out much we would
personally like to print.
IMPORTANT IF TRUE
William Jonah Harris is still going
around reading that “piece” in which
he claims that he has put Tom Hard
wick out of the race in Georgia. Did
Bill do it?
Hardwick says the big papers have
all lied on him. Can he prove it?
Howard says the people are all with
him. Can he count the votes?
Shaw says he wants to go to Wash
ington. No proof necessary.
The Treasury Department is fixing
up a tax scedule that will stop joy
riding and start you to saving.
We must get acquainted with some
new vegetable this year. The chief
reason why we have such poor winter
gardens is the average farmer’s un
familiarity with the hardy root veg
etables. Turnips and beets must be
grown, of course, but they must be
stored for winter use; whereas par
snips, carrots and salsify burrow into
the ground and so ‘“‘store themselves”
as Prof. Hutt puts it. Every enter
prising farmer should plant a seed
packet of each of these three vege
tables this spring and so have a bet
ter varied diet next winter.—The Pro
gressive Farmer.
A GOOD ROAD
By H. J. Krier
I am the road
That carries the load
From countryside to town.
If you drag me true
I will pull for you,
And never mire you down.
—Farm and Fireside.
The harrow is perhaps the most
neglected of all farm implements in
the South. On thousands of tenant
farms there is no harrow at all. And
even where harrows are found, it is
hard to get people to follow the ob
viously advantageous rule, ‘“‘Harrow
all land the same day you break it."”
—The Progiressive Farmer.
Every time a farmer buys potash
now for soil that doesn’t need it, he
is doing double wrong. He is wrong
ine himself by paying a high price for
an element his soil doesn’t need, and
what is even more serious, he is
wronging his brother farmers in sec
tions where potash is needed by tak
ing from them their limited supply
and making this supply still more
costly to them. For both these rea
sons, no faimer should have any pot
ash in his fertilizer unless sure that
his siol requires it.—The Progressive
Farmer. .

SENATOR HOKE SMITH AND
GEORGIA FIELD PEAS
A disgruntled contemporary refers
in. a sneering sort of way to the part
that Senator Hoke Smith had in hav
ing the famous Georgia field pea a
dopted as part of the United States
army ration.
~ Well, we don’t know of anything
‘that a Georgia Senator or Congress
man has done lately that will really
be worth any more to the farmers
of the state than this service of our
senior senator.
Senator Smith, with the co-opera
tion of-the Georgia Bureau of Mar
kets, convinced the Surgeon General
of the army that the Georgia field
pea is an excellent article of diet,
and induced him to authorize its
listing on the army ration as a sub
stitute article for navy beans. The
peas showed up well in protein and
energy value with the navy beans,
and the recognition that has been
obtained for them by the friendly
efforts of Senator Smith will nat
urally create a better market for
them than they have ever had before. ‘
Prodigious crops of the field pea
can be produced on the sandy loami
lands throughout the southern half
of Georgia, and, now that there isl
to be an increased demand for them,
our farmers will grow and harvest
more of them.
The Georgia field pea is not to
be sneered at, nor should Senator
Smith be for the recognition he has
been instrumental in obtaining for
it is an article of army diet.—Albany
Herald.
DEMAND OF LABOR RESULTS
IN A NATION-WIDE SEARCH.
Every community will be combed
for war workers. War industries are
short nearly 400,000 common labor
ers, and lack of workers in the coal
mining industry is imperilling all war
production. There is also a serious
shortage of skilled labor. One of the
largest munition plants, turning out
heavy caliber guns, is short 2,000
machinists. The war plants of Con
necticut and Maryland are underman
ned 35,000 machinists.
The United States employment ser
vice will begin an intensive recruiting
of workers for war work from the
non-essential industries. Employ
ment offices will be increased and the
force of local agents and traveling
examiners will be enlarged and sent
into every community that relief may
be given before the ban against pri
vate labor recruiting goes into effect
on August Ist. .
