Next Sunday is known :is Eastei
Sunday, when the "Georgia
Peaches" hloorn on I in their best.
You will be impressed thill thej
were memomlizing their own
vanity, rather than the resurree
I ion of the ( 'lirist.
Many mean things are done for
which moods are put forward as
the excuse, when the moods them
selves are the most inexcusable
things of all. A man or woman in
fair heal th has no moral right to
indulge in an unpleasant mood.
The Tribune learns that the
favored newspapers in the Savan
nah zone got stung on that page
advertisement. They carried out
the contract in good faith, but are
shy forty per cent, of their pay.
The rural press gets biffed on every
side.
The Tribune is sending notices
to subscribers whose subscription
has expired and the date of expir
ation, so they may know how much
they arc in arrears. Let. them re
new promptly. They can’t afford
to do without the paper and the
editor needs the money to tide the
paper over the dull summer.
With the world crying for food
and looking to America for it, it
would bo well-nigh criminal for
Americans to make no effort, to
supply the food they can grow in
abundance. It is not only a patri
otic but a religious duty for Amer
icans to make an extra effort in
this hour of world need. Don’t
forget your peace garden; now is
the time to plant it.
News reaches the Tribune of the
second marriage of the veteran
printer and newspaper man. ex
Mayor bridges Smith, of Macon.
His second wife is a sister of the
first, who died a short time ago.
The Tribune man worked under
bridges Smith when the latter was
foreman of the .!. W. burke A Co.
printing establishment at Macon,
and tenders him sincere congratu
lations.
The Frank Simonds' screed
reads and sounds ridiculous in the
face of the fact that, the peace
conference is so near its end, a
formal invitation has been sent to
the German peace commissioners
that their presence is desired at
Versailles on the 25th. The out
look now is that the peace treaty
will be signed not later than May
Ist. The Germans may quibble
and insist on modifications of the
treaty, but they will sign it as
drafted and presented to them.
J. A. llollomon, the Washington
correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stitution, pulls the record on Iloke
Smith’s sayings at the Savannah
board of trade dinner. With this
record he shows that Hoke was
careless of the truth when he stat
ed that the Port of Savannah was
second only to New York on the
Atlantic coast. He shows that the
Senator was playing the role of the
demagogue, that he was down in
Savannah fishing for votes for his
re-election next year. If his ful
some praise of Savannah’s j>ort is
untrue it may prove a boomerang
to his hopes even in Chatham,
llollomon insists that it is to
Savannah's best interest to have
the truth told about her port, it
is the safest route to government
aid in making it what it should be.
THRIFT TAUGHT IN SCHOOL
Thrift is unknown to the child
ren of the present generation.
Secretary Glass seems to have dis
covered the fact, and lias request
ed that it be made a part of the
•tnricnluin in every school in the
nation for thescholastie year 1919
1920. The Tribune thinks il
should remain a part, of the eurri
culuin until parents shall assunu
this part of (heir children's train
ing.
Radeliffe Chahlauqua lecturer
•ailed the attention of our pceph
o this fault in the rising genet
dioie, but as soon as they (lisap
>earod from view their precepts
vere forgotten and parents return
•d to the old rut.
Chi'iircn should be taught the
alue of money and that a coin
iclency is rarely ever acquired ex
ept by the conservation of tlieii
•iirnings, and that this conserva
ion should begin early in life for
that after the fortieth year one’s
earning capacity begins to de
eline. Of course, there are some
notable exceptions to this rule.
A wise father told his sou “The
nest egg you have on your fortieth
birthday is the foundation upon
which you will build your future
fortune.” His earning capacity
has commenced to decline and the
nest egg must be increased by tra
ding rather than labor.
The Tribune would not have
children taught to be penurious or
miserly on the one hand, nor yet
trained in extravagance as the
other extreme. Ity pursuing a
golden mean they can avoid the
many financial mistakes with
which life is beset. They can ae
quire a competency, and to them
life will be a success.
15y all means let systematic
thrift be taught in the public
schools of our country; it had bet
ter be taught there than not at
ail.
FLORIDA LEGISLATURE
The biennial session of the
Florida legislature is now in sess
ion, and it promises to be a lively
one.
The Tribune notes that there is
a strong inclination among the
members to pass a Pill to be pre
sented to the people calling for a
constitutional convention. The
senitmeut is growing among the
people of Florida that their con
stitution, framed just after recoil
struetion, is unsuited to the pres
ent demands and the process of
amending a ' constitution is ex
pensive and uncertain.
Another important measure
which is claiming attention, is a
Bill fixing the legal rate of interest
at eight per cent maximum.
Heretofore loan sharks have been
fleecing the unfortunates who
have to borrow money in cases of
emergency. It should be made a
high ciime to profiteer on the mis
fortunes of people. J ust now, of
all times, it should be outlawed.
There is too much trouble, sickness
and sorrow; financial dissapoint
ments are the rule now rather
than exception, and no advantage
should be permitted to be taken
of it.
The committee on agriculture
has a tick and lice eradication
Bill under consideration. Florida
is adapted to cattle and hog rais
ing, it is a profitable vocation, and
should receive all the help and en
couragement the legislature can
give it. Compulsory dipping of
both cattle and hogs should be
rigidly enforced.
Another measure of importance
is the Bill repealing the Lindsay
naval stores inspection laws of
1914. It has handicapped the
manufacturers and they are clam
oring for its repeal.
The Florida law makers have
been in session just two weeks.
The members were not slow in get
ting dow n to business.
Gen. Lndeudorff, of the German
general staff, is reported to be en
gaged in writing a book to be en
titled. “Why the German defeat.”
In the quaint parlance of the Con
federate chieftain. Gen. N. B. For
rest. it was because the Allies were
“Getting there firstest, with the
mostest men and the biggest guns.”

THE STEAMSHIP SAVANNAH
Fir. t Vessel to Cross Atlantic
Propelled by Steam,
< >f the thousands ui persons ar
riving at or departing from N \
1 ork today on ocean steamship of
all sizes and descriptions probably
none ailed to mind the fact that
the fit.st ship to cross the Atlantic
propelled by steam left this port
jnst one hundred years ago today
on her maiden voyage to Savannah,
Ga.. front which port a few weeks
later she was to begin her epoch
making voyage across the great
pond.
This steamer, named the Savan
nab, was built in this city by the
shipbuilding firm of Crockett and
Pickett, whose shipyards were at
( orlear's Hook. The date of her
launching was August 22, 1818.
The New York Customhouse re
cords give her measurements as
follows: Tonnage. 319: length.
98 1 2 feet; beam, 26 feet; depth of
hold, 14 1-2 feet.
The ship was equipped with an
inclined, direct-acting, low pressure
engine of 90 horsepower. It had a
single 40 inch cylinder; the mach
inery was built by Stephen Vail
at Morristown. X. J., and the boil
er by Daniel Dod at Elizabeth, N.
.1. Originally intended for a New
York and Havre packet, the
“Savannah” was purchased by
lsaaclis and Scarborough, a firm
of Savannah • merchants. She
could carry only 25 tons of coal
and 25 cords of wood.
The trip across the Atlantic was
started from Savannah on May 22.
1819, and the Georgia city is pre
paring for a celebration of the
centennial anniversary next month
which promises to be a notable af
fair. Representatives of commer
cial organizations, transportation
and other interests from all sec
tions of the United States and fiotn
Canada and England have been in
vited to participate in the eelebra
tion.
On her trails-Atlantic voyage
"Savannah” was commanded by
zlron Builds Strength
Eminent physicians agree that lack of iron in the blood causes weak
ness, nervousness, sleeplessness, tired feeling, loss of energy and a gen
eral sensation of discomfort and malaise.
Medical authorities also concur in advising the use of iron, as a tonic,
in these conditions.
If you are weak and feel that you need a tonic, try ZIRON Iron Tonic,
a scientific combination of pure medicinal iron, with the hypophosphites
and other valuable tonic, strength-building ingredients. Contains no

Captain Moses Rogers and navi
gated by Stephens Rogers, both of
New Condon, Conn. Everything
went well on the voyage until
June IT. when the vessel was stop
lied by a British cutter whose
commander thought the “Savan
nah” was on fire and stopped to
assist in fighting the flames. But
great was the wonder of the
British commander at his inability,
with all sail in a fast vessel to
come up with a ship under bare
poles. Vfter several shots were
tired from the cutter, the engine
of the “Savannah” was stopped,
and great was the surprise of the
cutter’s crew at the mistake they
had made. They asked permission
to go on board and were much
gratified by the inspection of the
“naval novelty.”
The “Savannah” reached Liver
■ pool on June 20. having used steam
180 hours out of the twenty-six
days, and thus demonstrated the
feasibility of trans-Atlantic steam
, navigation.
The steamship remained 25 days
at Liverpool, and sailed for St.
Petersburg on July 22. The boat
1 touched en route at Copenhagen,
where it excited great curiosity,
and also at Stockholm, where
!it was visited by the Swedish
royal family. On September 9 she
reached Cronstadt, having used
steam the whole passage from
: Stockholm, and a few days later
reached St. Petersburg,
i The “Savannah” remained at St.
j Petersburg until Oct. 10. and then
| set sail on her homeward voyage.
, She arrived at Savannah. Ga.. on
Nov. 30. Shortly after the vessel
was taken to the navy yard at ]
Washington. The object of th is ]
visit to the national capital was, I
in the words of another, “to fix
her name and exploits in the mind
of prominent men from all parts of
the United States, in order to lay
a foundation for the defense and
maintenance of our claim to that
distinction which this craft and
her daring commander had united
ly wrought out for our nation upon
the mighty deep.”

Being convinced that the little
culvert west of the (le|>ot was in
sufficient to carry off the volume
of water that gathers on the north
side of the railroad, making its
way to Red Bluff creek, the rail
road authorities have sent some
large tile piping to be placed for
additional vents, affording means
by which the water can escape to
its destination.

Teach Feet to Point Straight.
The human foot is wonderful in its
formation; the 26 bones and intricate
nrrangetuent of muscles make it sus
ceptible of a high degree of training,
as one observes in fancy skating and
ballet dancing. But it is sadly ham
pered in its practical activity by be
ing encased in leather and having to
support the weight of as well as to
propel the body forward. To over
come this as far as possible we should
learn to walk with the feet pointing
practically straight.

Gentlemen:
Please allow me to state that I
have sold your hog cholera remedy
for one season and have ordered
more for this season. Last year I
sold it to 12 or 15 men who raise
hogs. 1 told each of them to take
the remedy, feed it to their hogs
and if they lost a single hog from
disease of any kind not to pay ine
a cent for the remedy, but when
they began to sell cotton every
man came in and paid me for the
medicine and even’ one of them
told me that it was the best hog
medicine they ever used. One man
paid me for the small package and
bought $5 worth more and said it
was the best that he had ever
tried. Yours very truly,
NY. F. Bartlett.
