DON'T SACRIFICE YOUR OATS.
Mr. Huh York. Richmond county
agricultural demoflftrator, now
wl, hes The Augusta Herald to
wain the farmcra ..gainst sacrific
ing any outs they rnny have on
hand, left over from last year or
that, may be made this season.
Oats are going to be scarce very
scarce. And they are going to ho
very high priced. Farmers will
need all the oats there are In the
country for seed. That* a cinch.
If they are shipped out of the coun
try there will he no oat> lor seed
against neat planting Un it. There
tore. hold on to your oats till the
cows come homo.
The freezes in Iho winter and
early spring destroyed ihe small
grain crop. Where a man will
muko ten per cent of a crop he
will be playing In luck. The beat
of them will not make over twenty
five per cent of a clop. In these
circumstances there won t ho any
oats at all for selling and precious
little for feeding. Outs will be too
high priced to feed and too scarce
to sell. In some sections they have
not made enough for seed and will
be buying seed oats in the tali,
lienee it behooves provident farm
ers to caret ally save ull of the oats
they can for another season.
Mr.” York has received this im
portant advice from the lleorgla
pilule Agricultural Department at
Athene to warn the farmers of his
district of the Impending danger of
an out famine. Already, parties
are In the Did trying to buy up the
oats soon to be harvested, at less
than tl.uu per bushel. There Is no
lulling what these oats will be
worth, hut the normal price for
ouls 111 these kind of lltues would
be fur above one dollar per bushel,
bo that if a man Is so unforunale
us to be compelled to part with his
outs to buy food he should get more
than one dollar per busltel lor them
for he would then have to pay big
prices for corn, wheat and meat.
This applies not only to ats, but
to wheat,, barley, rye as well; all
small grain and garden seeds
should be caret ully taken care of
BO as to reproduce them. Kspeclul
cure taken at this time in consid
eration til the exigencies of the
war altuutlon may save it world of
inconvenience and expense. A cir
cular letter containing substantial
ly this same advice, has been mailed
to all the county iurni demonstra
tors In Georg is. and It Is an excel
lent idea to warn the fanners and
pul them on their guard against
selling their oats when seen oats
are hound to he as scarce as hens
teelh by the time that oat planting
time rolls around.
WHY THEY WON T LET YOU

I'orhapa you've fumed and fuss
ed because you’ve been lat reed

pital operating room during an
operation on some member of your

You v# resented this exclusion,
maybe, as un unwarranted asper
sion on your bravery or your
ability to remain <alm in a crisis.
The doctors probably are tig lit,
though.
We read In the Ilousten Press of
a wealthy man who dropped dead
In tin operating room while watch
ing surgeons remove adenoids from
his 111 tie son.
"There w.ts nothing In the oper

therefore a strainer would ba In the

They are very unpopular aa parlor
pets.
Another freak about these animals
Is that they can eat Anything from
paper up to Ul> cane and they don't
have to take patent medicines.
They kick like biases, but they al
ways kick wrongfully—that la vice
versa.
floats used to reside mainly In the
country Now they are everywhere
Everybody owns 'em, and they are
easily lost-—especially when you go to
the ball game Tfho umpire always get

We know thta kind of atuff gets your
goat -
William Mohanaollern Is about to loae
his goat. Caar Nicholas has already
lost Ids.
The conscription act Is going to gel
the gonta of lots of people who think
otherwise.
You always find goats on trolley cars
They nose over your shoulder and de

IF WE ARE FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRA
CY LET’S FIGHT DEMOCRATICALLY.
This is about Smith and Jones.
Each is about 23 years of age and able-bodied.
Now let us suppose congress was stupid enough to
vote against compulsory service, so that we must raise an
army by the volunteer system.
Smith enlists:
Jones stays home.
> Smith goes into battle—for Jones.
Jones sacrifices nothing.
Smith dies for Jones.
Jones lives to enjoy the victory of those principles for
which Smith died.
And under a volunteer system there will be thousands
of Smiths who may be called upon to make the supreme sac
rifice for the millions of Joneses who stay at home.
A volunteer military system is as unjust as a volun
teer taxing system would be.
Our taxing system is, in fact, a conscription of proper
ty. The man crazy enough to suggest a volunteer taxing
system has not yet appeared. We take it for granted that
everybody should pay taxes and the reason is so obvious
that nobody ever argues the point.
Military conscription is merely a fair tax on service.
It is not fair that courageous and patriotic young men
should bear alone the burden of sacrifice that their country
asks of them.
It is not decent that the brave and the noble should
fight the battles of the mean and the craven—no more de
cent than would be a volunteer taxing system that would
leave to a few the support of government for many.
This is everybody’s country—not merely the country
of those who love it enough to die for it willingly.
Even if it were possible to raise an army by the volum
teer system, it would not be just to send that army to fight
and die for the country, while millions more of able-bodied
young men stay behind to enjoy the victory which the brave
and the true win . with their blood.
That is unthinkable.
We are proud of our equality. But equality means as
much equality of duties as equality of rights. We are fight
ing for democracy. Let’s then fight democratically.
WHY CHAMP CLARK FOUGHT
SELECTIVE CONSCRIPTION.
Champ Clark, speaker of the house of representatives,
fought the president’s plan to raise an army by selective
conscription.
That Clark at the eleventh hour threw the weight of
his influence against what the president and his advisers
say is necessary for the safety and military effectiveness of
the country does not surprise those who have followed the
career.of this alleged statesman.
The one absorbing passion of Champ Clark’s life for
the past four years has been jealousy and hatred for the
president.
He has made himself believe that Wilson cheated him
out of the presidency and he has never missed a chance to
vent his spleen.
We have no doubt whatever that the motive which now
impels Clark is personal vindictiveness against the presi
dent.
It is hard to believe that a man who has been honored
by his congressional colleagues time after time as has Clark
would stoop so low as to sacrifice the interests of his country
to the purpose of getting even with a personal and political
foe.
Rut of such stuff are many alleged statesmen made,
and Clark is one of them.

The child may have a small portion of
baked apple or prunes once a day In ad
dition to his morning feeding of orange
Juice. The apple should he baked very
tender, and all the skin, seeds, and hard
parts should he removed. Prunes should
be very carefully washed, soaked all
night, then cooked until very tender,
with very little sugar. A small portion
of the strained pulp may be given instead
of apple, and the Juice may be used also.
The child may have about a table
spoonful of scraped meat, or a soft-boiled
•*r coddled egg once a day. Beef, broil
ed. boiled, or roasted, the tender part of
n lamb chop, or the delicate meat of
chicken or fish may be used. ,\l| meat
should be scraped or minced very fine,
as no child of this age can he trusted to
chew It properly.
A small portion of some properly cooked
green vegetable like spinach, or tender
string beans may' be given. Such vege
tables should he fresh. They snould he
cooked, then drained and mashed or
strained through a colander.
