CAMP WHEELER APPROPRIATION
TOO SMALL.
Rome concent la felt by those who
understand the question of the ex
pense of encampments that the war
depart men t has not made u mot e gen
erous provision for Cum.!’ Wheeler.
The most wholesome climate In t'<s
world, the purest ulr and the most
porous *< 'I cannot offset the effect <>t
neglected sanitation. It is necessary
to spend money- to keep u good health
record. Kver. one knows that, the
selle lor the camp is alt ideal one, so
far ns hutural advantages ure con
cerned, but natural advantages are
not, ttiomth In themselves Money Is
no ;ded to screen oft the tiles and to
pay for the thousand and one little
precautions against illness, which
have been found so necessary. Tim
war department has cut the expense
account of t'amp Wheeler too dose
We register this kick now, because
in justice to Augusta this should he
understood We nave no doubt that
tlio appropriation for the camp will
be expended with the utmost discre
tion and Tor the moßt essential tilings,
but it la a risk to nttenv t to take
care of so many men on so little
money. .
The unfortunate thing Is that the
health records of this cantp will be
accepted ns euklutt for or against
this community. While a few may
realise Unit It Is impossible to secure
the best health conditions when stint
ed In necessary expenditures, the
large majority of persons will blame
th<» ellm'ite «nd situation If there Is
Illness In the camp
Our hope Is thnt despite the tnade
ouate appropriation the nHturnl ad
vant 'ges of the camp, combined with
t+e watchful nttentlon and constant
effort of It* managers, will prove
great enough to overcoma this handl
cap Rut we really ought to under
stand that the encampment Is handi
est pod hv its meager appropriation
and face rite situation squarely. This
iindfTatAßdlnff should prompt thoß<* »n
authority to redouble their ef'orts to
keep things In a strictly ssnllitry
condition It should also prompt the
eltv authorities to do as much as they
conscientiously esn to aid In this
work No one wants (’amp Wheeler
to "bad advertise” Augusta.
THE MULTIPLICATION OF
COUNTIES.
The making ot raan> counties goes
merrily on Every session of the leg
talature brings us a county or two.
The county unit system also keeps
on
The combination Is an Ingenious
one. Territory has a greater voting
value than tolks By and by. a* we
continue lo check off the land of
Georgia into counties and continue to
permit every county, regardless of the
number of It* inhabitants to count as
a unit according to the majority vote
of its clUtens we shall lnil the city
men just about disfranchised In «I 1
except local affaire.
This may not happen Ht once, but
there is no denying the fact that the
county unit plan l* a rank discrimina
tion against the citizen# ot counties
in which there sre cities it Is an
affront against democracy and an
open acknowledgement that we don't
Intend to "tost fair" in politics The
advantage It gives to the voter In the
country districts Is one which he
should scorn to accepL
Of course the multi llcatton of
countiea merely aggravates the glsr
ing Injustice and absurditv of this
system, but so long as the county unit
system remains the fetish of Georgia
politicians and the Idol o Georgia’s
country folk, we suppose this sort of
thing will go from bad to worse
Maybe, In time the citizens of the
more thickly Inhabited counties will
strike for their right# and Insist that
the county divisions be applied to
each city clock This might equalize
things a bit and It might bring the
City man back into power as an ac
credited voter
It would, of course, be simpler to
abandon the county unit plan, but the
politician* know how much easier It
Is to fool the folk* In the country,
than those In the cities and for thsl
reason th# county unit system Is held
m sacred and imperishable.

MILLIE'S CUP RACE.
Once upon a time Millie's mother
! was cleaning off the supper table and
as Millie teased so hard, she promised j
her ahe could help wash the dishes.
Millie thought she was a real big lady j
housekeeper Instead of a tiny tot who
could not even reach the kitchen table,
: much less held the big platters and
pans which mother had to wash.
Her mother was called to the door
to talk to a neighbor Just as she be
gan to put the dishes In the pan and
Millie was left alone in the kitchen.
.She thought she would surprise her
mother by washing the dishes while j
she was out so she got a kitchen chair,
put It up close to the sink and, climb
ing up, turned the water Into the pan
and began to put In the dishes.
First she put In two cups and hs
they began to float around she thought
It would be much better fun to have
a boat "cup'' race tha to wash all the
dishes. So she started each cup from
opposite sides of the pan, giving them
a push and then watched to see which
one would strike the side of the pan
first.
The yellow cup beat the white one
every time, so pretty soon she changed
nnd put the two side by side. She
discovered that by turning the water
Into the edge of the pan It made a
swirl which sent the cups swishing
around the circle of the pond, first
one cup being ahead and then the
other.
Millie screamed with delight and she
held many racea before mother came
buck.
When her mother did arrive Millie
felt \ery sorry that she had not at
tended to business and surprised moth -
er by having the dishes all done but
she was not scolded for her play for
mother was a little girl herself and
knew what a temptation It Is to play
when little ones should work.

"Re Prepared " These words on the

worthy. loyal, helpful, friendly, cour

which make for thrift. Along the lines
adopted th* Boy Scouts are inspiring
thrift and simplicity. Thousands of
parents and the city administrations
’of many communities which have giv

have seen to it that the scouting did
not fail for lack of a local council or

have found their Investment among

Tommie heard her say from his hiding

Hungry and frightened, Tommie sat
under the steps until he thought it
safe to come out, and then he ran to
the woods as fast as he could go. j
He looked where he had seen the
Brownie the day before, but he was
not there now, and poor Tommy lay
down beside the rock and began to'
mew out his grief.
"Hello, is It you making all this
noise?" said some one, and Tommie
looked up to see the Brownie stand

“I heard someone making a mourn
ful sound,” said the Brownie, “so I
came out to see what Is the matter. :
You have your wish, I see; you arc ;
a big, white cat. Why are you mak- i
ing such a fuss?”
“Oh! Mr. Browne, pl-'ase get me ;

a broom when I go Into the house; ;
even the house cat treats me as If I j

“I knew how It would be,” said the ]
Brownie, "and the fairy said so, too; |
but I told her the only way to cure j
you was to let you have a try at being
a cat. I will see what I can do for
you."

Brownie disappeared and Tommie |
found hi* nose upon the cold rock as
he tried to tollow his friend, for he
did not want to lose sight of him un
til he was changed Into a mouse.
He had to wait, however, for th"
rock closed and shut him outside, and j
there he waited until he fell asleep.
But he was no longer a cat when he
awoke; he was a mouse again, and-
Tommte Mouse was so happy he I
lumped up and danced on his hind
legs, ran over the rock beside him and
squeaked for joy, but nowhere could
he find the Brownie.
So Tommie Mouse ran home. "I
guess he knows how happy and thank

everything," said Tommie.

for you to put me into bed," And
smile feebly and protest that It really
doesn't matter and they say again
they will not keeep you, that they are

Hut they don't go.
With some friends, you can say
bluntly, "You will really have to ex
cuse me I have to go out In ten

Hut you can't say it to the woman
who neither stays nor goes. For she
is the kind to get mortally offended at
such plain speaking. Not being
straightforward In her own dealings,
she doesn’t relish straightforwardness
where others deal with her.
Probably the only way to manage
such people Is to remove the hat from
their head, by force if necessary and
say positively, "You are going to stay
to luncheon.” And then go about your
own business whatever It may be. Or
you can beg to be excused and If she
gets offended, let her get offended,
ami you bear with all the resignation
you can the loss of her friendship.
