twelve Federal Reserve banks to the
Reserve Board for the month of March
are without exception indicative of
good business conditions. The reports
from the Eastern sections show that
despite the freight embargo and the
increasing cost of raw material. the
manufacturing industries have not
been curtiled Dependence on emer-
gency orders has diminished, and per-
manent prosperity is very much in
evidence.
Government reports have emphasiz-
ed the unprecedented value of farm
products, placing the farmer in more
substantial condition as regards per-
sonal wealth. In view of these facts,
the oft-repeated cry of the politician
for rural credits" is absurd. AT the
opening of March the farmers had
24l,7l7,OO0 bushels of wheat left over
from the crop of 1915. This exceeded
last years surplus by 88,S00,O0O bush
els and was $4,000 bushels more than
the highest similar total following the
brilliant harvest of 1906 This years
surplus is valuable asset for the
farmer, since, Notwithstanding its re-
cent decline. wheat is still selling con-
siderablv above the price level of or
binary times. High prices for cattle
and grain have strengthened the posi-
ton of the West In no recent year
have conditions been more favorable
at the opening of the spring season
than they are today.

REFRIGERATOR CARS
NEEDED FOR SOUTH

Washington, April 1.-The
South's early fruit and vegetable
crops ARE SO threatened by
shortage of refrigerator cars that
the interstate commerce commits
sion today issued a memorandum
calling the attention of the rail-
roads to the importance of these
cars for the movement of the
crops.
The Importance of having re-
trlgerator cars for the movement
Of these crops is obvious" the
memorandum reads, and there
would seem no good reason for
diverting the cars which are in
tended for that purpose to other
uses. The commission therefore
urges that all roads make i'm
mediate and special arrangement
tor the prompt return to the own
ing roads of all refrigerator cars
now in their possession"
The memorandum states that
one line which will be called 70
handle large volume of fruit and
vegetable shipments for which re-
1rlgerator cars are essential has
found that nearly all of its refrie-
orator cars are on other lines.

WEATHER REPORT

Weather crop conditions in the
state of Georgia for the week end
ing Tuesday, April Is, 1916:
AS a rule the past week was
highly favorable for farm work,
which progressed rapidly. Higher
temperatures caused seeds to
terminate nicely and advanced
the growth of vegetation consid-
erably. Gardens in the north are
coming out nicely. Beneficial
showers fell on Sunday the 10th
in the north-central portion of the
state, but rain is much needed in
the southern half, especially for
wheat and oats, which are stool
ing and heading out in places.
Planting corn and cotton made
rapid progress during the week,
and both crops are coming UP TO
good stands; early-p1anted corn is
being chopped out. Gardens and
truck crops have improved. APP
Piles are promising, but peaches
seem to have suffered more than
at first reported from the frost.

COUNCIL MEETING

The ordinance fixing the limits
within which tent shows can OPP
crate was repealed at the meeting
o fthe city council Monday night.
The session was an interesting
one, as thru some misunderstood
in gthe Park Stock Co. had erect
ed its tent in the city and had adj
vertised to play the week under
the auspices OF the Band. "A con-
tract had been entered into by the
manager OF the band and the ad-
vance man of the Stock Co.,
whereby the band was to furnish
license and location in the city and
to receive 20 per cent of the bust
ness for the week. AS the license
for tent shows is 500 per day
this fec would have been a good
one for the company but poor
investment for the city.
Mayor Paulk insisted upon the
enforcement of the ordinance and
the company thru its representa-
tive argued for a reduction. Dur
ing the day notice had been serv'
ed on Clerk D. L. Paulk that the
individual members of the coun-
Gil would be held personally re
sponsible for any amount collect
ed from the show, less than the
legal rate, so the reduction was
not voted.
For the first nights opening
500 was deposited but subse-
quently refunded, as the showmen
folded their tent and moved on
The associated butchers were
present to make some proposition
with reference to an abbatolr, but
on account of the lateness of the
hour action on this matter was
postponed and the committee on
sanitation instructed to make re-
port on the matter by the next
meeting.

Herewith, the Leader Enter
prise presents a Lost Business
Mans Page" 1t is a new depart
ure in the matter of advertising
and we believe that it will meet
with universal favor both with
the advertisers represented and
the general public. A letter is
missing in a word in all of the
advertisements. All of these let
tiers, when assembled properly,
spell the name OF business man
and his business. By reading all OF
the advertisements carefully all
of the letters may be easily found.
After finding the letters the read
ers can then assemble them to
spell the name of one of the ad-
vertisers on the page and the
name OF his business.
This page is not only profitable
but educational. The profit comes
from reading the announcements
of progressive business firms of
the city, thereby acquainting
yourself with Jle bargains they
offer, and in participating i'll the
cash awards. The educational
feature is found in the mental
stimulus derived from studying
the advertisements and becoming
familiar with the we'll known
business men whose ADVERTISE
ments are presented.
This unique method of advertis-
ing has been put on by quite a
number of the leading papers of
the country. 1t has the endorse
ment of the Boards of Trade,
Chambers of Commerce and Bust
ness Mems Associations wherever
it has appeared. The local Board
of Trade lends its support to the
enterprise.

ers this a splendid way of bring
ing the advertisers, and ss

Heavy Fighting on All of the
Battle Lines

London, April 1.-THE Ger
mans have launched powerful
infantry attack against the French
positions from the Meuse to Do
lamont, and again they have been
swept back, except where they OBJ
tanned a footing in a small portion
of the Chauffor wood. Heavy
casualties were inflicted on the at
lacking forces along the two and
a half-mile battle front.
The Germans have kept up their
heavy Smelling of Hill 504 north
west of Verdun, and the second
lines of the French in this region,
probably with the intention OF
again throwing their infantry for
ward in an endeavor to capture
these important points-keys tC

On the British front in Belgium
and France the heavy lombard
ments by the British and Germans
continue undated. The artillery
activity in the sector between St.
Eloi and the Ypres-Comines ca
nal has been especially marked.
The Germans have poured shells
on the Russian position along the
DIVING river at the Iksull bridge
head and about Dvinsk, and Wig
orous artillery duels have been in
progress south Of Dvinsk. In Ga
licia, along the Stripa river, the

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS
(STEWART F. GELDERs, EDITOR

Fitz-Hi went to Cordele Friday
with the highest hopes, and with
good reason for high hopes, but
came back Saturday a rather sad
looking crowd. 1t certainly does
seem funny that Fitzgerald did
not even take third place i'll the
literary events. We had very
strong literary team and after the
contests were over we were even
surer than before OF a victory
but we did not get it. There are
lot of criticisms that could be
made of the first place winners,
but this is no place to do it.
1t is certain that the boys and
girls of Fitzgerald are just as
smart as those of the other South
Georgia towns and some reasons
why they should be smarter. But
we certainly do get left in these
meets. There is something wrong.
However, there is no use crying
over split milk and the only thing
for us to do is to get to work this
Spring and show the people
what we can do when we must.
We are not going to make any i'm
provement whatsoever if our best
talent sits back supinely and waits
for the other fellow to do it. If
our boys and girls haven't enough
school spirit and pride they GER
tainly ought to have enough per-
sonal pride to do something for
our high school. Our school sys-
tenn, our highly paid faculty and
our free school book plan make
the Fitzgerald schools almost the
best in the state. But it takes
something more than brain, bone
and Drawn to make real man
it takes most of all SPIRIT. II
that is what Fitz-Ili needs and
must have it is up to somebody to
give it to her-and in big doses.
One consolation we have for
our defeat in Cordele is that our
l0O-yard dash man, ]. L. Pittman,
broke the state high school record
for that event by stepping the dis
lance in 10 Is seconds.
We have had two visits from
Messrs King and Wolslagel dur
ing their meeting at the Baptist
church. Each time they came they
both made splendid talks and Mr..
Wolslagel sang some songs. Both
evangelists are splendid speakers
and Mr.. Wolslagel possesses a
wonderful voice. He also has a
good sense of hunor and told us
a number Of very good stories. We
hope that. these two evangelists
may at some future time conduct
meetings in our city and of course
visit the schools.
