“Following the rat-killing earn

mice of flic undesirables are (lit

the drug store loafer, \ says the

Orders have been issued for the
mustering out of all the men at

It was once the “liar Room
Loafer” who was made the lnitt of
ridicule; now if is the “Drug Store
Loafer.” The Tribune is constrain
ed to say the latter is more to be
deprecated than the former, be
cause the majority of him areshes.
“Have a dope with me?”
It is a great mistake of our
farmers, who have sugar cane crops,
not to manufacture enough sugar
for home consumption. Unless
the Tribune misses its guess sugar
is going to be exceedingly scarce
next year, almost amounting to a
famine, and the home made sugar
would be far better than none at
all.
It is mentioned as a st l ikings
coincidence that both the retiring
and the incoming Secretaries ol
the I'’. S. Treasury are printers;
Secretary MoAdoo learned the
business in a small office in Mil
ledgeville, (la., and Secretary
Glass started his career on a smell
paper in Lynchburg, Vn. Printers
are great material out of which to
choose eminent men. They fake
the front; seats everywhere even

Editor 11. T. Allen failed in his

to everybody. Our friend deserved

the hands of the people of Atkin

creation of the new county. And
lie has a might} good paper, one
which is a distinct credit to the

The death of lion. John 0. Hart
is a loss to tiie State of Georgia
which slu> will have difficulty in
filling, lie has been State lax
Commissioner under the equaliza
lion law ever since it was adopted,
and has succeeded with the least
possible friction in giving to the
State lax roll some degree of re
spectability. The people are won
dering whom the Governor will
select to succeed him? An effici
ent successor will be hard to find.
The Valdosta Times is of opinion
that “It will be useless to begin
any campaign in this sect ion of the
State for the raising of funds for
any purpose until the cotton mar
ket approaches aouiething like an
adequate figure and until the in
fluenza epidemic abates. The
people here are passing through
one of the darkest periods of many
years past, and until conditions
improve not only public benefac
tions but generally business will
remain practically at a standstill.”

Lloyd George, the British Pre-i

Tli (’equilibrium of official Wash

mors that thi British and French
allies an disposed to tram ccnd and
disregard I‘resident Wilson's four
teen peace points. He will be
present and know about it when
it is done. The Tribune has never
understood that the President’s
fourteen principles are to be fol
lowed to the letter, only in spirit.
It is not the proper thing to ad
here to plans mapped out before
all the lads and 'circumstances arc
know n or understood. The Tribune
is of opinion that the peace con
ference will be entirely harmonious
and will result in the promulgation
of peace terms that will be just
and satisfactory. •

The most interesting recent war
events are the dismissal of the
German Ambassador from Madrid
and the Spanish Ambassador from
Berlin. Madrid’s action i.s based
upon evidence showing that the
German Ambassador's stall is
guilty of espionage. Berlin action
is retaliatory.

German confidence in \ankee
integrity is shown by the calling
of American troops upon German
territory to quell a riot ami restore
order. This, according to recent
news dispatches, has been done

American army of occupation.
These are the only troops that
have been moved forward by
means of a railroad train.

SERVICE THAT WINS
THE SOLDIER HEART
Fred Lackley, Y. M. C. A., Tells of
the Gratitude of the Boys
at the Front
“One of the discoveries men aro
making over here,” Fred Lockley, of
the Y. M. O. A. and of Portland, Ore
gon, writes from London, “is that
more pleasure can be bad out of gtv
:tg than getting. Many a man whd
as spent money freely In the old days
•> buy pleasure Is finding that he gr s
•lore pleasure over here'hy the spec 1-
ut one's elf In the service of otic «.
“A few months ago I went out well
a fellow Y. M. C. A. secrotary to bunt
up out-of-the-way detachments of
troops. A i-table guard here, a ma
chine gun company there, a platoon
somewhere else. We carried our
goods In an automobile. We had
plenty of writing paper and envelopes
for froe distribution, and chocolate,
cookies, chewing tobacco and smoking
tobacco. cigarettes, razor blades,
tooth paste and things of that kind for
sale. American war service workers
were busy everywhere. We found Sal
vation Army lassies making doughnuts
for the boys and K. of C. secret arles
giving help. Books furnished by the
American Library Association were to
be seen on all sides.
“Hearing firing at a distance, we
drove down the road and found a
score or so of men at machine gun
practice. The officer gave the men
half an hour recess to buy goods.
“At another place we came in sight
of a lieutenant drilling a platoon. I
said to the lieutenant: ‘How soon be
fore you dismiss the company? We
have Y. M. C. A. goods for sale.’
“He said: 'Right now. Sergeant,
dismiss the company!’
“And ten seconds later the company
was In Hue waiting to buy goods from
our traveling ‘Y.‘ Grateful Is no name
for It. The men can't do enough to
show their gratitude."
Why You Should Give Twice
What You Did Before
The government has fixed the
sum needed for the care of the
men 1c the service at $170,500,000.
t'nless Americans give twice as
much as ever before our soldiers,
