Organize in Every County for Wilson
From the Atlanta journal.

The ranks of Georgia workers for
the Wilson Marshall fund have been
notably strengthened by the enlist
ment of the Albany Herald, The
Dawson News and the Waycross
Herald. Each of these papers will
render vital service in organizing
tie loyal sentiment of the states
democracy and in turning it to prac-
tical account. They will supply IN
their respective districts that initia-
tive and leadership which are essen
tfal if Georgia is to do her full part
in the national campaign.
1t is an interesting and really
beautiful circumstance that tina hrst
subscription to the Albany Herald's
fund came from the widow OF gal

advertising columns, will in future
be the accepted one. Hitherto it has
been expected for newspapers to line
up for, and get behind, certain can
didates and carry the burden at the
newspapers expense. But this has
been all changed in few short
months.
In the county elections, as well as
in the state campaigning, the candi-
dates this year made business ar
rangements with the newspapers and
paid their own freight" The pub
lie now has been educated to expect
this manner of office-seeking and in
future there will be more "commu-
nicated" and advertisement" and
less kissing the babies and 'shak-
ing with the horny-handed sons Of
toil.-Augusta Chronicle

chosen than great riches.
What these three newspapers are
doing in their respective districts
every georgia daily and weekly
should undertake. 1t is a matter of
pride and congratulation that scores
of the states progressive papers have
already rallied 10 this movement
and are doing effective work in
building up the Wilson-Marshall
fund. Many public-minded citizens
have started a fund in their own
communities with the dollar-sub-
scription plan, and they are meeting
a liberal response.
Every county of Georgia should
have a financial interest, however
small, in the national democratic
campaign, and in every county there
should be organized at once a Will
son-Marshall club devoted to practl-
cal and continuous work in behalf
of the party's national leaders.

Ten Good Reasons for Trading at Home

good friends, ever ready to extend
helping hand in time of need.
Z. If this community is good
enough for you to live in and make
your money in it's good enough to
spend il in.
8. The best citizens in this COM
munity are those who believe in and
practice home patronage. Be one OF
the best.
8. The merchants in the distant
city give you nothing valuable that
the home merchants cannot give you,
and the former cannot and will not
do for you many things the latter do
gladly.
10. Every dollar kelt in circula-
ton in this community helps in
crease property values. Every dol
lar sent out of this community that
could as well be spent here hinders
the wheels of progress and helps to
build up some other community at

THE ENGLISH SPARROW.

THE E,NlIIISE1 81 EAAeANO"'
The English sparrow, the little
nest which is making himself such
a nuisance generally, is unsparingly
condemned in a recent bulletin is
sued by the department OF agrlcult-
ura urging a united campaign of de-
struction against the doughty little
follow According to the estimates If
the department there are vastly
more sparrows in the country than
human beings.
The sparrow, while quite diverse
in -he matter Of appetite, goes in
strongly for cherries, grapes, pears,
peaches. buds and flowers of Guilt
waited trees. shrubs and vines. He
eats seeds as they ripen and nips
tender young vegetables. He will
turn from a fat healthy bug any
time to newly sown grass or Vege-
table seed Sparrows are especially
annoying through their habit of
BullulnS IuelI uCoto ia NAS SA~'ASOS
of buildings and in guttering.
But above all the strongest in
dictment of the English sparrow has
to do with his aggressive antagonism
to small native birds Of greater
beauty and of more utility as insect
exterminators than himself. Uncle
Sam says the sparrow must go be-
cause he is a buccaneer, an outlaw,
an anarchist, an autocrat and all
round evil-minded and selfish Great
ure. Formerly the bluebird laid
some claim to warrior ability, and
the manner in which he would van
quish the mating purple martins,
driving them from the high pole
nests which people prepared for
them. was a source of amending an
aoyance to those who loved the
noisy summer-day chatter of the
graceful martins. But the blue
birds glory waned rapidly as the
sparrows became more numerous.
And in the sparrow moreover, the
martins found a new enemy far more
persistent and annoying than the
bluebird was ever able to be. BY
pesky gang methods, tireless attack,
guerrilla swooping and sniping at
other birds the sparroWs so annoy
bluebirds, martins, wrens, robins,
catbirds and hooking birds as %
drive them from field and forest and
shaded city streets and park groves.
Yet the little pests have nothing
on their own account to give in place
of the sweet songs and the brilliant
coloring of the birds they expel. The
sparrow is noisy and vituperative,
but he has no song. About all that
can be said of him is that "he Is
first-class fighting man"
Uncle Sans recommendations of
practicable methods of dealing with
the sparrow include the destruction
of the nests, trapping and poisoning.
Trapping is urged as the best and
safest method.
The time to make inroads upon
the sparrow population is during the
nesting season. If people everywhere
would exert themselves to destroy
the nests of the sparrows during the
ten or twelve days of their breeding
season the falling off in sparrow pop
ulation the following year would in
dictate that wave of race suicide
had swept over sparrowdom. Nests,
boxes and cans could be placed in
trees in such a way that they could
be removed after night while the
birds were nesting. and the sparrows
could thus be captured.

ONE LESSON OF THE CAMPAIGN

From the Athen Banner.
Another lesson OF the campaign is
that the prohibitionists of Georgia
are getting tired of the injection OF
that issue into every gubernatorial
race that is run in this state. Mr..
Alexander failed to rally the prohi-
bition vote beneath his standard for
the reason that the leading prohi-
bitionists of the state are weary OF
being dragged into personal political
fights when the proper way to fight
for prohibition is to fight for the
issue itself.
