THE PROBLEMS OF AUGUSTA’S
FUTURE.
Augusta in common with the rest of the world has
already begun to face its future problems, now that peace
has come once more to be the normal order instead of war.
For some time we will still be engaged in thought and mind
and in business with what the war has done to us. But
more and more, peace and its problems, and the normal
order of things will be forced upon us.
What is peace going to do to us as war gradually re
cedes? This is the question that is fronting not only the
good people of Augusta but of every other American city.
It is the problem that is fating every individual and every
business interest of the city. Peace after all for Augusta
is going to be largely just what our own people make it.
The same thing is true of the nation aS a whole. Peace
ought to mean and can be made to mean an era of great
happiness and prosperity. On the other hand, if we lay
down on the peace job, so to speak, peace can be made to
mean a period of sharp readjustments and deep depression.
The choice lies in the hands of our own people.
The Herald has faith that Augusta is going to measure
up to its peace job, that our people are going to tackle it
just as hard and with as much energy and enthusiasm, and
intelligence as they answered the call of war.
Peace problems are undoubtedly going to make their
demands upon the courage, energy, and resources of our
people. Prosperity and happiness are not necessarily
going to fall into our lap because peace has come. They
are going to come, if they come at all, because Augusta along
with the rest of the country is going to use its head, and its
heart and its financial resources intelligently while it plans
and works hard for prosperity and happiness.
One of the first problems that Augusta must face is a
building program, and this program must include better
streets, more and more paving for the city and better roads
in the country.
Another problem that Augusta and her business inter
ests must face in common with the farmers of this section
is the boll weevil. The war and the high prices and the
fact that the boll weevil has not as yet wrought devastation
in Augusta's territory has made our people forget what is in
store fob us when this pest hits our section. Business and
commercial and manufacturing Augusta must continue its
preparations to meet and conquer the boll weevil condi
tions in this territory. This means a sharp readjustment of
our cotton factorage and cotton seed oil industries and our
commercial and financial interests generally in handling
the problem.
Augusta, now that the war is over, .will be foolish not
to prepare in every way to meet and to fight boll weevil
conditions and what they will inevitably mean to-the varied
business interests of the city and immediate territory.
In a manufacturing way, in cotton, in lumber, brick and
clay products. Augusta’s industries and their markets are
going to be greatly expanded in the coming days of peace.
Their growth and expansion ought to bring with it manv
new and varied industries to the city, provided Augusta will
do its full share in providing the courage and the capital
and the energy to make such efforts successful. There is
no doubt of Augusta possessing to a large extent among its
individual citizens all these things in large measure. The
test of Augusta’s prosperity and happiness is going to come
as she and her people are able to combine and weld these
various individual elements into a compact and aggressive
whole, as Augusta is able to develop team play and a com
munity spirit that help* itself as it helps one another in the
work of the future. In other words, Augusta ns a city is
going to be prosperous as she helps the country around Au
gusta to a larger measure of prosperity. Augusta as a city
is going to grow and prosper as one citizen of Augusta com
bines and helps other citizens of Augusta to grow and pros
per. This is the big problem of the future for Augusta ns
the city goes from a war basis to a peace and a prosperity
basis.

COTTON PRODUCTION.
According to the report of the
Con hub Itureuu, cotton glnpcd
prior to Nov. 14tli amounted 4n
S.otil.oof. running hales, ImiuilinK
127,812 round hales, 8,873 Amer
ican Egyptian, und 24.145 bales of
*en Island cotton. To the same
date of the previous .year the Kin
nltiKs were 8,571.115 runnliiK bales,
Ineludlns 157.718 round hu|es, and
68,229 hales of sen Island cotton.
Texas leads, of course, with a
production of 2.250,986 OKninst 2,-
698.838 last year. tleorKia eoines
seeod with 1.626.944 against 1.480,-
611 last year and South t'arollna
third, with 1,099,129 against 923,175
the year before. Mississippi comes
In the fourth place, with 787.650
iiKalnst 620,100 the year before,
with Arkansas pushing her pretty
close.
Prior to Nov. 1. 1918. Hurke
county. Ueorgtu. led the state with
49,188 nKHlnst 50.700 last year,
while laturrns Is close second with
42,604 compared with 41.092 last
yrnr. Richmond county shows up
well with a production of 11.431
compered with 9.391 last year.
She Is ahead of Bibb and Musco
gee with Fulton nnd Chatham not
mentioned
A remarkable thing la the en
ormous amount of cotton that la
produced In the territory between
the Rarnnnah and the Altamaha.
It Is probable that no territory
with a simitar area tn the country
produces such a wealth of cotton
The lhaxos bottoms In Texas used
to be considered the (Incut cotton
land In the country but while It
produces very heavy crops some
years, the years that make partial
failures and total failures prepon
derate to such an extent that the
average falls far below the maxi
mum production.
On the other hand the produc
tion In the sperilled Georgia terri
tory remains about the same or
shows a steady Increase year after
yesr. Cotton has always been a
certain crop up to the present
time, but with boll weevil condi
tions this may change
The following table shows the
enormous production of cotton In
the territory referred to:
Bulloch 123,169
Hurke 49 188
Columbia * 13.216
Emanuel 32.921
Hancock 16 692
Jefferson ~,,, ...Jil.tß
Jenkins ' 18615
s Johnson 16,01*
Laurens ..42.504
Screven ................27.062
Washington 3L712
The only other counttep In the
state that approximate the larger
production are IValge and IWLxly
with 16 000 each, while Wilkes,
Henry and Morgan are about the
average Put they are scattered,
while the counties named In th*
tabls are pretty well grouped.
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
TODAY'S POEM
HYMN UNIVERSAL.
(By Edmund Vance Cooke.)
When the sun hath shone on my lands
alone,
Or on others refused to shine,
When the winds have blown on my
sails alone
To pilot me across the brine.
When the waters of river and sea
Flow only for mine and for me—
Then flod, my Father, smite my foe,
And shield Thou Mine and Me,
For I am Thine as Thou art Mine,
Ko shield Thy cause in Me.
God, my Father, sharp Thy sword
And in my puissant hand
O. grunt Me of Thy purpose, Lord,
By sea ad sky and land.
When I ask for a sign to proclaim
Thee as Mine,
Thou hast granted me famine—and
yield,
And the sun and the rain which hath
brought me Thy gain
Hath beaten down by full-grown
field
For the suns and the tides and the
snows
Hath no favor of friends or of foes.
Ho God, my Father, guide ny foe,
For he, too, looks to Thee;
Dissolve us both from battle-oath
And make hirn friend to me.
God, our Father, purge our pride
And heed us lest we fall;
Be every self-stained prayer denied
And be Thou God pf All.
THE BOYS WHO GOME
BACK ARE NEW MEN
□y th* Rev. Charles Stelzle.
Transports loaded to the limit will
soon brtn# back to uh the hoys whose
sacrifice has become the foundation of
the new world-democracy—a sacrifice
which shall bless all mankind through
out all history. |
They will come from the front of
the battle line, from fields made red
by the bUiod of our fighters, from fields
where our boys were wounded—
wounded for you and for me —and
where some of the finest of them made
the supreme sacrifice.
They counted life cheap that they
mffcht hold for 11s nil that most preci
ous heritage of fJod’s children —the
rlKht to live with conscience free,
with heart kept whole, and with soul
lint rameled.
The boys who come back have been
transformed from common clay Into
stuff that makes heroes and martyrs—
but they do not yet know that they
were thus born again.
They are the men who, because of
their splendid chivalry, won the love
of women and children across the sea
whose homes were wrecked, whose
minds war a wracked, whose hearts
were wrunp by the fearful wrongs In
flicted by an enemy who knew not pity,
nor rnerev, nor right.
They will come back to us with their
visions broadened, their patriotism en
larged, their souls enriched, because
of new worlds seen, cruel suffering*
endured, fine fellowships formed —their
lives deepened and fortified by con
tacts with those whom they never
know because an ocean divided them,
but whose hearts now heat together
and whose souls are now welded as one
because they fought against a com
mon foe and wh onow think in the
terms of n common country and a
brotherhood of the world.
OBSERVATION
British didn’t crow when Germans
surrendered U-boat - . They left that
bird to the Teutons.
Save your sympathy for the victims
of the Huns. They still need It.
Holland seems oblivious to the fate
obstinacy brought on Germany.
ilight at* this season we could use
r few more hot spells, Mr. Weather
man.
Germans In sayintf their navy wasn’t
worth much may be trying to take the
■ting out of the surrender.
And tlien there’s the big job ahead
for the gag-makers when the makers
of new nations take a rest.
Too many reconstruction plans all at
once might give us indigestion before
Chrtstdlaa.
Yet most any leading politician nnv
where would be willing, after a little,
very little, persuasion, to become chief
magistrate of (lie world.
Live* there a man with lungs so
poor that he proclaims no plan at all
for reconstituting everything in sight?

WASHINGTON LETTER
Fit Memorials For War Heroes
In Every Town Proposed
By Charles Moore.
(Chairman, L T nited States Commission
of Fine Arts.)
Soon every city and town In the land
will begin setting up memorials to Its
heroes of the great war
The passion for erecting commem
orative monuments is stronger among
Americans than among any other peo
ple on earth. There are more eques
trian statues in Washington than in
any other city in the world. What
town is so poor or so new that it has
no monument to its heroes of the civil
war?
The great war has taken its toil so
widely that scarcely a village from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
Hudson's Bay to the Mexican border,
has escaped mention on the casualty
lists.
Now, it so happens that, while the
American people spend more money
for art than any other p»oplc, they
soon tire of the statues and monu
ments which they set up. Then they
mock at them, deride them, und call
for their removal.
The great war has given us few
heroes indeed, but, what is far better,
it lias brought out the idealism and
will for sacrifice latent in the Amer
ican people. Balfour, British states
man, has said the entrance of Amer
ica into the war was the greatest act
of disinterestedness in history.
The memorials we set up should be
worthy of the cause.
Preferably an aohitect cf good taste
and good judgment should be con
sulted. He will lie able to advise in
regard to the site
/tiso ns to the form the memorial
shall take. A commemorative foun
tain -might be the very best form, if
the money were sufficient. If it is to
tie a statue, there Is the question as to
bronze or stone. In any case the site
must he prepared so as to give the
memorial a proper landscape setting.
This Is quite as Important as the mon
ument itself.
If the memorial is to take the form
of a stained glass window, a mural
decoration or a tablet, the professiohal
adviser \will be of the utmost assist
ance. Tie will know that the essence
of good art is simplicity, scale and
proportion. He knows that profusion
of detail and excessive costliness are
vulgar, and Inevitably condemn the
work. He knows, too, that it is the
imaginative and Intellectual quality of
a work of art that gives permanence
to it.

VULTURES OF VICE
SEEKING TO CLUTCH
OiRL WAR CLERKS
(By E. C. Rogers.)
Washington, D. C.—Seventy thous
and girls in Washington are to be
thrown out of work on or before the
proclamation of peace.
Hundreds of thousands of girls and
women in offices, shops, factories and
mills al! over the country fear thc
aame fate.
Vultures of vice are already hover
ing here In Washigton and elsewhere
with claws ready to Seize as many of
these girls and women as they can.
What is to be done to save these
girls who were drafted from nearly
every state in the Union for war work
in Washington?
They came to the capital as steno
graphers, filing and mailing clerks and
the like. .
Their wages were none too high.
Room rent has been- exorbitant,
Phylockian.
Rapacious Landlords
Robbed These Girls.
The girls have saved little. They
haven’t had a chance to save. Some
of them haven't enough money to pay
their railroad faro to their former
homes. Not the majority of them have
parents able to help them in’this ex
tremity.
Some of these girls must find other
jobs to earn a living. Many will try to
go to New York and other cities.
Many are trembling with fear and
do not know what to do.
The hovering vice cadets are leering
and beckoning and pointing to "the
easier way.”
When these girls were recruited to
help win the war they and the coun
-ry were told they would be tenderly
cared for and protected to the last.
But the landlords have fleeced them.
And vice panders are setting their
snares.
The emergency is here. It is hourly
growing more acute.
What is to he done?
Government Owes
Help to These Workers.
The government ought to pay the
way of these girls to their former
homos. It owes this much to the anxi
ous parents of these war-winners. It
owes as much to society.
But some congressman must take up
this matter promptly or it will be too
late.
Congress must pass a law to meet
| the need.
I It's up to' the American people to
' cell* with the necessary phosphoric food
element*, bitro-phnsphato quickly pro-;
duces a welcome transformation in tne
nppearance: the increase in weight fre
quently being astonishing

respectively, through the administration
of this organic phosphate* both patient*

This increase In weight also carries
; with It a general Improvement in the

Why do people recommend that girls
keeps 9 expense accounts? It is such a
nuisance and doesn’t seem to save money.
When you put it down on paper, you
always know what the money is spent
for. I know ft does take time, but it is
a fact that having a system which con
trols your expense account and tells you
exactly how the money is spent does tend
to save a few cents here afid a few
cents there And it is astonishin how
rapidly small savings accumulate into
quite a large amount. '.'ou learn the
value of money in this way, and perhaps
think a second time befoie spending it
for something foolish that you can just
as well do without.
I often go out with a crowd of men
and girls and we sometimes stop and
have cocktaills or highballs. One of the
girls never takes anything and we call
her a prude. Don’t you think it is all
right to take a little something once in
a while
I know of a girl who promised her
father never to take liquor unless she
was with him or until she was married.
She kept this promise, and waws mar

time than she did. It teems now. when

EVEN CROSS, SICK
CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP OF FIGS
If feverish, bilious, consti
pated, give fruit laxative
at once.
Don't gcold your fretful. peevish
child. See if tongue is coated: this is
a sure sign its little stomach, liver and
bowels are clogged with sour waste.
When listless, pale, feverish, full o*
cold, breath bad, throat sore, dpesn’t
eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom
ach-ache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give
a teaspoonful of “California Syrup of
Figs,” and in a few hours all the foul
waste, the sour bile and fermenting
food passes out of the bowels and you
have a well and playful child again.
Children love this harmless “fruit lax
ative.” and mothers can rest easy after
giving it, because it never fails to make
their little “insides” clean and sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother! A little given
today saves a sick child tomorrow, but
get the genuine. Ask your druggist
for a bottle of “California Syrup of
Figs," which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly ..1 the bottle. Remember there
are counterfeits sold here, so surely
look and see that . ours is made by the
"California Fig Sy up Company.”
Hand back with contempt any other fig
syrup.:—adv.
