TAKE TIME BY THE FoRELoCK

In our Tuesdays issue we stated
that experts had given out the infor-
nation that the price of cloths would
advance in 1913 from 71a to 20 cents
per yard, and now the statement is
given out that the price of shoes will
advance fully 20 per cent, as the price
of leather had advanced 72 per cent.
since 1907.
1t seems to us that it would be the
part of wisdom for our readers to
take advantage of the cut-price sales
now going on in our midst and lay in
a supply of non-perishable goods, and
thus avoid the disaster of high prices
that are so freely predicted for next
year.
Take time by the forelock.

bargains, and bargains they certainly
were. No one was disappointed, for
every article advertised was offered
at the price quoted.
The large, bulging bundles carried
out Of this store proved beyond a
doubt that whatever the firm of Hell
.venstcn and Pasteur advertised musS
have been exceptionally good values.
While hundreds Of satisfied GUS
toners weFe leaving the store, others
unable to lbe properly waited upon
so great were the crowds-left, only
to return later and share with others
in the good things offered.
Mr. Walker has promised our peo-
pie many more good bargains The
limited amount of display space ham
ipered him in displaying many Of the
good things he has in store, and he
suggests that you visit the big store
of Helvenston and Pasteur as often
as you can during the next ten days,
where many surprises will await you.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
KICKING ABOUT NAVY
Especial Gable to The JOurnsl.)

BERLIN, March 16.-That nine-tenths
of the entire income of the imperial
government of Germany already is paid
out for the maintenance of Germanys
army and navy, is the argument ad-
vanced by "Vorwarts,' the central or
gan of the Social Democratic party,
against further taxation for the pur-
pose of increasing both the army and
navy.
The paper says that the estimated in
come of the government for the year
1919 is approximately s461,S00,000. OF
this amount, $22,00O,OO0 is the profit
derived from the Postal and Telegraph
service; $6,000,000 surplus from the
earnings of the Imperial railways; $5,-
100000 profit on the coinage of money,
and over S42O,O0O,OO0 from taxes, Gus
toms and other receipts.
OF this enormous sum, S41S,800,000
is paid for "militaryism, navyism and
colonial politics." says 'Vorwartz." This
is divided into s21S,OOO,0O0 for the
army; S112,0O0.OO0 for the navy; $780,
100000 for pensions; S5,000,000 to sup
ply the deficits of the colonial admin
istration and something like $4,000, 900
is to be placed before the reichstag

CLEAR WEATHER WILL
HELP TATTNALL FARMERS
Special Dispatch to the JournaD.

Especial Dispatch to The JournaD.
REIDSVILE, Ga, March 16.-The
farmers of this county are beginning to
think that they win be several weeks
behind with their crop this year, caused
from the extremely rainy weather, and
the rain continues to fall. 1t would be
useless at the present time to plant the
grain in the ground, as the work would
be to repeat on account of the ground
being so wet and would cause the seed
to rot.
Although the farmers are hauling
their fertilizer and preparing to get
busy in the fields, and if the rain dis
continues for a few days they will be
able to begin their planting 1t is
thought that the cotton crop will not
be so much this fall in Tattnall and
more attention will be towards the corn
crop, as most of the farmers became
so disguised at the low price last year.
