UNIVERSAL PEACE

:" This nation is now in the midst Of
4 controversy as to how best to pro.
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis.
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and 1t is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimea
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled "gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus.
mess enterprises and bombarded ag.
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs Of business, and political sub.
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter Of q century we
have fought many q duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians tc
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point . pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to CRY
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives
for NO vessel armed or laden with
munitions Of war should be given Z
clearance to sail for the port Of Uni
versal Peace. Lot US by all meanl
have peace. but peace. like charity
should begin At home.

eRAsp|Me At The SHADOW

No man-especially II he is mar
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give us peace. but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done, Is not
the selection of the butcher more i'm.
portant to the home than the election
of a mayor; is not the employment OF
the dairyman a far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment Of q postmaster; ia
not the selection Of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for Jail and court house!
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit Of woman
hood that It IL not. as . rule. the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; It Is not

BUILDING q Small House.

When the prospective owner Ut
small house determines at last to build
the home to which he has been aspiring
for, perhaps. many years. he faces the
consideration with the realization of Il
complex prOblem-the necessity of har-
monizing the ideal that has formed in
his years Of anticipation with the stern
realities of the actual building. Con-
risely stated. his problem is this: TO
combine the five desirablcs-sImce.
charm. distinction. utility and comfort
with the sixth. economy. within the
apparently limited allowance Of the
small house. Sometimes he succeeds
in this. Generally he yields to the diff
ficulties presented and sacrifices one
or more of the desirable qualities.
thankful to get finished house after
all the dissension ensuant with build.
ing progress. When, however, home
builder succeeds in the combining Of all
these qualities in the construction OF
his house the achievement is worthy
Of record. - Raymond Comstock In

INSPIRATION OF
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

when you enter the agricultural do
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
IN new power-that is the inspira-
Ion of the soil. You are overpowered
oy the grandeur and magnificence of
:he scene-that is the spirit Of the
harvest You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
mat is opportunity knocking at your
aoor. 1t is good chance to spend .
4diet hour in contact with the purity
ana perfection Of nature and to sweet
IN your lilo with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products a. food are At for
he gods. and as an article Of COM
merce they ought to bring tip.top
prices on any market in the world.
The products Of the soil are teachers
and preachers as we'll. Their beauty
gives human life ito drst entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
In artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth Of character and theil
marvellous achievements excite ouI
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process Of nature.
Before leaving the parlor Of agricul
ture where nature is parading in he1
most graceful attire and science Il
climbing the giddy heights Of perfec
ton, let US pause and take . retro
spective view. How many Of 70,
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom b.
marketed at a profit? Take the blush
Ing Elberta, for example-they wer'

vegetable-every year rots by tn
acre in the Southwest for want Of [
market and as q result hundreds o
farmers have lost their homes. Cot

1t is great to wander through tn
exhibits while the band is playin

fertility Of the soil and pride ourselve

A. |. |. BOYS D|NED
WITH HOME FOLKS

Some day when the boys return
from the Mexican border the people Of
Americas will know how much they
appreciated the box Of good things
sent them by admiring friends in the
city. The goodies arrived bright and
early Sunday morning, but were held
intact until dinner time. Just after
twelve o'clock the Americus Light
Infantry and the other companies
were called to form regiment and
were held in line for some time; so
naturally when time was up they were
hungry. In the meantime party Of
Americus ladies, visitors at the camp,
thad taken matters in hand, and when
the muster was over the boys arrived
at their company street expecting to
see the regulation hash, but they were
agreeably SURPRISE Right before their
eyes lay the best viands ever seen at
any military camp, and it was theic
very own.
After a few appropriate words by
Everett Schneider the boys "fell to-
the feast. There was enough for the
entire company and in the words Of
Sergeant Guerry, They felt like fight
ing Villa right this minute. and the
Light Infantry could whip him alone" :"
When the other companies saw the
Americas boys feasting on the fat of
the land, and howl of protest went
up. But the Americus lads just

No FOUNDATION
To RUMORS THAT.
SECOND To MOVE

1t was currently rumored on the
On the streets of Americus Monday
that the Second regiment of Georgia
National Guards Of which the A. L. /.
is unit would begin their movement
towards the border on Tuesday. After
running down the sources from which
these rumors were said to have come,
it was found that no such orders had
been given, and so far as known the
Second regiment will be in Macon for
some time yet. The officers estimate
that the Second will be ready for
orders to move by July 10th.
Because of the strict censorship
which is being imposed on press dis
patches by the war department con-
cerning the movements of troops it is
impossible in many instances to
chronicle the movements until the
troops have actually begun to move.
The Americas people can comfort
themselves with taste of the Euro
pean news life where the censorship
has become a gerat factor in the very
life of the people.

,clergymen, bankers, leaders in civic
ard reform movements, suffragists,
educators and labor leaders, are re-
ceiving invitations to this conference.
The object, as explained by national
prohibition headquarters here, is to
the effect an amaIgamation of the
moral reform forces of the country in
to political party which shall have
as it's central platform plank National
Prohibition, but which will also ad-
vocate a whole category of govern
mental reforms and progressive leg
islation.
The program as announced includes
free-for-all discussions relating to
whether new party must be formed
in order to obtain prohibition, what
name such a party should bear, the
possibility of getting action through
the various parties now in existence
and the relation of prohibition to 9TH
er reforms.

ions are. Eugene N. Foss, three times
