THE HIGH PRICE OF CORN.
Com has stone to two dollar* per
bushel with every prospect of its
going higher The wheat and oat
crop has fulled and thin leaves
corn the sole dependence of the
Routhern fanner while waiting for
another crop* to come in. if he has
not a sufficient ) «*f corn left over
from lust aeuson, he haa got to buy
it at $2 per bushel and perhaps pay
more.
Then why not plant corn” 10very
farmer knows there Is more nu
triment and strength in corn than
In anything else It Is first ciass
food for man mid beast. It is the
greatest strength builder known
for either one. The American In
dian gave us corn, and they ap
preciated lia value as a food stuff.
They were people of rare endur
ance. raised entirely on corn as a
bread atuff. . •
Sainu•l ,t Tilden. the great New
York statesman appreciated the
value of corn and advised all Amer
icans to plant It extensively. Fi
nancial Amertcu advocates rais
ing corn tor food for human beings.
It says corn bread Is not appre
ciate! In the mirth hut it is in the
south. It don’t seem to be prop
erly appreciated north or south.
Jt hai well nigh gone out of use in
thin section, where formerly it was
hel l m high favor. Perhaps two
dollar* corn will make it again
appear upon the fable* of the peo
ple.
With cotton at ?0 cent* and
corn at $2, It take* ten pounds of
• otton to buy a bushel of corn. Yet
It take* infinitely more care, work
und time to produce ten pounds
of cotton. Anil beside*, there are
the fodder and shucks which are a
valuable M-product and velvet
beans which you can raise on the
same land without doing the corn
aii> damage
With'wheat soaring out of sight
the aouthern farmer will have to
idant t om ami eat corn if he lives
in accord with the times which we
are experiencing Mr (J\fford Ftn
chot. the e\ »omirussioiiei of for
estry. said the other day that the
way to win the war w*n for the
aouth to feed herself and not use
$700,000,000 worth of f«H*datuffs
which she la said to purchase an
nually from other statea.
Georgia alone he declared, ir
buying at the rate of $100,000,000.
Think of It, this prodigoua sum la
paid out to enrich the farmer* of
other states when the stuff that la
bought can be raised cheaper and
t»etter at home The aouth has
been farming backward#. Now i*
the time to reform liaise more
com and meat and become (ha
richest people under the aun.
THE FIGURES ARE NOT SO BIG AS
THEY SEEM.
A per cent $5,000,000,000 bond issue is nearly
twice the total of bond issue during our civil war period
and the $2,000,000,000 one-year treasury notes mean taxa
tion four times the highest taxes of that period. But the
magnitude of the thing need rattle nobody.
Fifty years ago, wc were very largely an agricultural
people in the raw; today, loojc over the average farm’s
equipment and you’ll find that, while agriculture may be
the American occupation in high degree, it’s machinery
made-in-America agriculture. With the change has come
increased ability to stand taxation.
Our enemy of today is much bigger, stronger, meaner
to fight and to pay. Seven billions is no more to us than
were seven millions to the folk of 1860-1865.
LET CONGRESS GUARANTEE PRICES
TO FARMERS.
A little over a month remains in whiefo planting can be
done for this year’s crops of corn, beans, potatoes, and
wheat. After the first of June, unless congress acts, we
shall have billions of war dollars, and hundreds of thousands
of warriors, and an unprecedented shortage of food, a
shortage that may be fatal to all our war plans.
Neither to bad weather nor to lack of land can threat
of this shortage be charged. The cause lies in the unwilling
ness or inability of our agriculturists to produce. Good
seeds, fertilizers and labor have been scarce and high
priced, and estimates of unusual uncertainty of prices of
grains have been against increased production.
This condition congress can cure by simply guarantee
ing that the United States government will take the 1917
crops at fixed minimum prices, which mean reasonable profit
to the producers. It ought to be easy for congress to do this
at once, and it would he a mighty good speculation if not a
war measure of first importance. All the harvest surplus
that the government might find on its hands any time this
year could readily be disposed of, such will surely be the
shortage and distress throughout the world. Let congress
act today. Planting time has almost closed.
THE BACK FIRE SQUAD ON HOW
NOT TO DO IT.
Here are a few plain facts for intelligent Americans:
Every day, while this war lasts, thousands of helpless
persons in Belgium, Serbia, and the invaded regions of
France, will be starving to death.
Every day the misery and suffering of millions will
grow worse.
Every average day about 5000 will be killed or wound
ed on the western battle front alone.
Every day that we hasten the sending of American
troops to Europe cuts off a day of the war. Perhaps it cuts
off more than that.
It isn’t the deadly execution they will do. It isn’t the
idea that they will descend upon the hostile warriors and
eat ’em alive. It is the tremendous moral force, greater
than all armies, that lies in the notice to the world that we
are not a nation of boobs, we are not obliged to let others do
our fighting, we are not in this war with dollars alone but
with the full strength of 110,000,000 people.
Facing these facts, the half witted and the half hearted,
in congress and out, want to waste time over a back fire
scheme to wait for a volunteer army.
At the present rate of enlistment it \*ill take six years
to raise an army of 1,500,000 men. That’s all.
The same order of mind demands that no American
troops now ready shall be sent to Europe.
The Swift, Stiff Punch does the business.
Universal military training and meantime the American
regulars to Europe. That is the way to end the war a d
free the world from the horror and blight of it.
This is our job and anybody that gets in the way of it
is nol only an enemy to this country but an enemy to all
mankind.
In *Smug Contentment ’
Many Church Members
Rest, Says Dr. Jones
l>r. Curtcr Helm Jones nt* the First
HHptlst Ohurrtt Inst night said In ef
fect It wns often the case a Christian
never accomplished much until he or
she reached the stage where the people
slid "There goes that crank; looks
like he’s gone ernty on religion.” The
minister also said that many church
members who wear pious fn< e* on Sun
dae. |«iy the preacher, pay their debts
and to not cheat, roh or commit adul
tery. think they hnve an Insurance
policy against the future; some think
ing tlpit they have n fire Insuranrt
policy against the conflagration In
another world. The minister did not
s»\ all this literally, hut what he
didn’t say actually he did say by Im
plication
lh- .tones preached on "Christ and
C inscription,’ taking his te»t from
the Gospel by St. Matthew, fifth chap
ter and list verse, "And whosoever
shall compel you to go with him one
mile, go with hint two." Ttie refer
enoe that t’hrlat made was to the law
of Home which provided for conscrip
tion throughout that vast empire The
minister said that Christ was uphold
ing the law In his message and that one
"he thinks because he la a Christian
he is In any way less amenable to the
law than any other people, that he
owes any leas to hla family, his neigh

Lords of the Coming Days
(Berton Braley.)
At first it siN»mß a baby’s only this
A pink and dimpling morsel, sweet to kiss
Who gazes on the world with widening eyes.
And greets mankind with burgles, crows and cries:
But as we ponder, then in truth we see
A baby as the race that is to be;
The future of a people—-of a land
Lies in the clutohes of a baby hand.
Therefore it is a nation's vital care
That every habv born should have his share
Of food and raiment, and of ligljt and sun
And mother love—the same to every one.
If by our babies now we do not well
Our land shall fall as Rome and Carthage fell;
But if we play the better part all through.
Our babies shall make all our dreams come true!

en in tils idea of what h Christian
should lie.
Or. Jones said that few of us do any
thing we do not have to do, that if
many people were left to their own in
clination to drift without helng check
ed hy custom, by tradition, by con
vention, by fear of public censure that
It is no telling what would become of
them.
It is the first mile which we go hy
compulsion which prepares us for the
.scond mile, said Or. Jones. The sec
ond mile Is the tUne we dQ things for
Christ because we like to do them. It
is during the second mile that the
Christians suffer the taunts of the un
godly who often speak of the man be
ing "craiy oh religion.” That is the
mile which we go for the sheer love of
doing good It is this mile when one
goes out and does things for Christ
end humanity which he doesn’t have
to do. It is the taking of an old ladv's
suit case several blocks, after helping
her off a trolley car. and seeing her
safe home. This is but au illustra
tion of one going out of his way to do
things which are good.
Christ 3» as walking the second mile
when he bore the cross, suffered the
taunts of the multitude and died an
Ignoble death that men might he free
I>r Jones expressed impatience with
the church members who walk the first
mile and then sit down to rest. These
are the people who Pharisaically con
sider themselves better than other peo
ple because, forsooth, they pay the
preacher—some even giving one-tenth
of their enrntng* they hh> their debts
live ostensibly pure lives and rear back
on Uif*ir dignity and wait for other
people to do work in the church. In
other words, these people consider that
*hey are doing their bit and it is up to
some one else to carry the work of
Christ along. They rest in “smug con
tentment,” hk the minister expressed
it. Dr. Jones’ inference was that, the
chances these poeplp would have to
reap the reward of the righteous would
be slim, indeed.
Dr. Jones said that the great mis
sionaries >f jhe world who had gone
into wildest Asia and darkest Africa
wore traveling the second mile as they
willingly endured hardships, gladly un
derwent difficulties because they loved
the work. They were not actuated by
a desire for worldly plaudits or re
muneration in any way whatsoever, but
they traveled the second mile because
they wanted to serve their Master.
It is the voluntary, cheerful work
which counts and Dr. Jones stated that
if 200* members of the congregation of
the First Baptist Church would go
out and earnestly, zealously and with
tears in their eyes beseech the many
hundreds of non-Christians in Augusta
to attend church, to give themselves to
the Lord, that there would be an up
heaval in this city the likes of which
have never been seen before.
Dr. Jones* sermon was one of the
most able and most impressive he has
yet delivered. Tt was delivered prin
cipally to church members and there
was a very large congregation. Prof.
Uogovoy played two solos on his ’cello.
There will lie services each evening
