Ringo! lust Like That!

MANY months ago The News specialized
editorially regarding the effect which the
closing of the European war would have
upon innumerable mushroom munitions fac
tories in the United States; in fact, there
was not much speculation, for it seemed to
us an absolute certainty that sooner or later
the bubble must burst.
The Associated Press dispatches show now
that there are few war orders being placed
for the coming year. The financial and in
dustrial worlds are preparing for peace in
Europe Whether they have received quiet
tip or two as to what the immediate future
holds in this respect we do not know; but,
at any rate, it is fact that the idea is
gaining in prevalence.
Already there has been some drastic liqui-
dalton of war issues, according to market
reports. These are but preliminary and
amount to nothing in comparison with what
will come when it is really evident that peace
is to be matter of actuality.
Then the bubble will burst, and with the
bursting there will be great many sad and
wise citizens of the United States There is
money, much of it, to be made in the manu-
facture of war munitions for the nations of
Europe, and the contest has thus far devel-
oped a great many millionaires and multi
millionaires on this side of the Atlantic. The
profits have been so tremendous and the
possibilities so seemingly limitless until there
has been wild rush to enter the field.
But with the sounding of the first note of
peace!
When the word comes that there is to be
no more war gone will be the market for
the munitions. On their hands the owners
will have these practically useless factories.
We doubt whether the game has been
worth the candle.

Parker's Predicament.

Mr.. John M. Parker, who was nominal I'd
by the progressive convention for vice-pres-
ident, has, according to press dispatches, IS
sued ''fery'' call for another convention,
to nominate some one to head the ticket in
place of Colonel Roosevelt, who declined to
again become sacrifcial offering.
One cannot well blame Mr.. Parker for
feeling somewhat fiery He was popular
Louisianan and popular democrat, so pop
ular he at one time ran the regular dem
ocratic nominee for governor close race
for that honor.
But Mr. Parker deserted democracy,
hearkened unto the false and selfish coun-
sci of the colonel, and moved his standard
over to the progressive camp. His import
ance to the new party was appreciated to
such an extent that he was nominated for
the next highest Office in the nation. Now
the Louisianan finds himself a tail without
a kite His chief has deserted-as bald, as
outright desertion as history, political or
otherwise, has ever chronicled. Mr.. RoOse-
welt was the one commanding figure which
brought the progressive party into exist
ence, and his is the abject, dropping person
atty which is now endeavoring to dis
perse it.
What an argument in refutation of the
statement so often made by the pro-Roose-
veltians that, whatever faults their idol has
he at least has at all times the courage of
his convictions.
AS matter of present history Mr.. Theo-
dore Roosevelt has truckled in manner that
would put to shame the cheapest politician
He has, in the vernacular of the street
: ''lost his face

Recalls Jules Verne's Story.

The dispatches announce that the
Deutschland" the German merchant sub
marine" which brought a cargo of dyes
across the Atlantic to Baltimore, is about
ready to begin the return voyage
1t reads like fiction, the story of the voy-
age of this vessel nearly four thousand
miles under the sea. 1t recalls Jules Verne's
great story of Captain Memo" and his
mysterious undersea craft. What the eff
feet of this modern exploit will be remains
to be seen. The moral effect will be mark
ed in inspiring enthusiasm and confidence
on the part of the Germans. Whether the
voyage holds valid promise of a programme
of under-sea traffic for Germany we can
not even guess. If Germany can in this
manner, even in a small measure, Offset the
stress of the Franco-British blockade, the
superior sea power of the entente allies,
then there is surely much room for conject-
ure. 1t would mean food and war supplies
for the Germans. The value of the trip may
be only moral and spectacular.
But at any rate, this is a new, world
record in sea achievement, and we are all
bound to take off our hats to the captain
and the crew of the Deutschland" and the
genius that created and sailed her.

Uncle John and the High
bred "DiSeaSe" of Corn
From the Progressive Farmer.

"Talk about the boil weevil, man." said
Uncle John as he dropped in on the editor,
"I've discovered a corn disease that beats
the boil weevil all holer. They's quite a
lot of it, too, an | see some farmers whole
crops have got it bad"
"What is it-some sort of bug or worm"
we asked the old man.
"Pll tell you about the symptoms" he
replied, "an' let you fgger it our fer yer
self what's the matter. First trouble you
notice is that the corn, somehow or other,
has managed to git itsef set way up on a
ridge, with what looks to me like bitches
between the ridges. Then the little corn
takes on sort of hungry weakened look,
gets hard and knotty like yearlin' with the
ticks on him, turns yaller, an ends it's UNI
happy career by maxim a nubbin', and
sometimes just a shuck with not grain O.
corn in it.
"This is new one, and seems pretty seri-
Gus. Does it seem to be catching-can one
plant or field catch it from another?" we
inquired.
''No, it amt ketchin', so fer's I know" said
Uncle John, Though do find whole neigh
borhoods that's got it. 1t seems to be spe-
cially bad where folks use a lot O. store
bought corn an meat an hay, leave their
tools out under a blue-sky shed, an buy
fertilizers by the stink instead O by what's
"Wel, we give it up; what's the disease,
what causes it, and what's the remedy" we
asked.
"The disease" said Uncle John, stroking
his whiskers and assuming knowing air,
sis what l call high-bred disease. It is caused
by over-ndulgence in the turn-plow, bein'
superindooced, as Doc Stringer would say
by a severe attack O. the germs o. ignorance
They hain't but one remedy, the treatment
bein' incubation with the germs O. common
sense an steady diet O. farm bulletins an
papers, with visits from Doctor Demonstra-
ton Agent until cured. If this don't do the
work then | recommend some other business
for the farmer"

Politics in Maine.
From the Baltimore American.

Ever since Maine went in that famous
way for Governor Kent the September cleo
ton in the Pine Tree state has always been
a matter of national interest. Especially
does general attention turn to the Septem-
Der election in Maine in presidential cleo
ton year. On September 18th of this year
the northeast corner state will elect a gov
ernor to succeed Governor Curtis, a demo-
crat, and United States senator to Sue
coed Charles F. johnson, also a democrat.
1t is already in the indication that there will
be a sizzling campaign up Maine way
Maine is one of the states that turned in
the electoral college vote to the democratic
presidential candidate in 1912 through the
republican split. The Taft and Roosevelt
vote in 1912 added together represent a plu-
rality of $4,000 over the Wilson vote; as a
result of the split Mr. Wilson had a plu-
rality of 1920 in Maine. There is not go
ing to be any divide of the republican vote
in Maine this year either in the September
or the November election. None the less,
the democrats believe that they have fight
ing chance to hold the state, and they are
making preparations to food the September
state election with oratory. 1t is expected
that the president will explain himself in a
Portland speech before the September poll
ing.
And Mr.. Hughes has been asked to speak
before the early election. The republican
party needs the senator from Maine in order
to assure republican control of the next
congress. 1t is likely that several prominent
prOgressives, now back in the republican
fold, will be assigned to the August cam
paign in Maine The democrats are arrang-
ing to send score or so of their best spell
binders up to the Governor Kent region for
the August festivities.

A Notable Century.
person.

So many events are crowding the calen-
dar for 1916 that possible centenary cele-
bration has been overlooked, one quite dis
tinctive for the masculine gender. Just one
hundred years ago man for the first time
wore full-length trousers in public, and knee
breeches went out of vogue. This revolu-
ton in mans attire, however, was not eff
fected without as much opposition as char
acterizes the present woman's movement in
the same direction.
The Duke of Wellington is said to have
been responsible for introducing trousers to
British society, and much of his later I'M
popularity is attributed to this fact.
Before the year 1916 man appearing
on the streets in long pants would have Gre
ated as much sensation as a woman would
today who paraded Broadway similarly at
tired But, as the poet said, "use can al
most change the face of nature" All men
now follow the practice introduced by the
conoueror of Waterloo. Only the hard
headed and brawny-limbed Scotch highland
ers still stand for the ancient costume of
their forebears and refuse to abandon kits
for trousers.

From All Sides.

Careful observers of the war in Europe
see in the present allied offensive what many
of them believe to be the beginning or the
end. They base their opinion on the fact
that the offensive is being conducted in such
close concert that the central powers cannot
now. as they have so often done in the past,
rush renforcements at will from one threat
ened point to another
Heretofore, with a simplicity OF opera
tions which no doubt amazed and angered
her opponents, Germany has expedlently
moved her troops back and forth to what
ever points were most greatly threatened at
the precise time of the moves. Her terrain
has been such, in connection with her faclIl-
ties, that the question of transportation has
never greatly worried her; and whenever
anv certain section of her farfung front
has been endangered by determined at
tack she has drawn men from elsewhere
along the line.
But, except in a very limited way, Ger
many cannot do this now, and this is what
makes her case so desperate. The allies pro-
TESS to believe that Germany has used up
nearly all of her reserves from the Interior
The extreme age and extreme youth of some
of the troops captured within the past few
days in the Somme neighborhood would ap-
pear to indicate that the allies are not far
wrong in this conjecture.
And, as for the men already fighting the
kaiser's fight, they are being kept entirely
too busy to aid their comrades in other sec
tions Many sub-offensives are under way,
the most important of which are of course
that of the French and English-their big
drive-and of the Russians in the direction
of Kovel The Germans and Austrians are
so hard pressed and at so many places stimuli
taneously that each of their armies is being
compelled to shift for itself,
This is playing into the hands of the al
lies If the Italians and the Russians can
keep up the force of their separate often
sives, thereby preventing aid from going to
the Germans in France, the French and Eng
lish will be we'll satisfied at the opportunity
to fight it out with the invaders; and there
is no sign that either the Italians or Rus
slams are weakening.

Mr.. Bryan.

Ever since the memorable day when Mr..
William j. Bryan resigned from President
Wilson'S cabinet he has been confounding
his political enemies, and some of his So
called political friends. These gentlemen
have been viewing with alarm everything
done or said by the Nebraskan. They have,
in fact, been the readiest little viewers on
record in recent years. Pretending to be
convinced that Mr. Bryan was engaged in
more or less secret campaign to wreck the
democratic party they have found time to
indulge in wild predictions calculated to
make timid mans hair stand erect
And Mr.. Bryan, neglecting to crafty
these detractors by replying to their insinua-
tions and direct charges by word or mouth,
has gone steadily ahead sterling dem
ocrat-the foremost one living, he was pro-
nounced at the st. Louis convention of his
party.
The man, democrat or no democrat, who
fails to realize the figure Mr.. Bryan cuts in
the public and political existence of the
United States and as democrat individu-
ally in his own party is very unobservant
person.

An infant industry: the stork.
SAVANNAH THE RELIABLE.

From the Savannah Press.
The Dawson News is kind enough to say
in it's last issue:
There's disposition to prod Savan-
nah, but nowhere is the spirit of patri-
otism more alive. When the president
called for troops for the Mexican bor-
der that city responded with 800 enlist
ed men, a record that is not equaled
elsewhere in the state.
That gives very good view about one of
the excellent points about Savannah. She
is patriotic to degree. She never lets go
unanswered an appeal to come to the aid
of the country. And she seldom gives fee
BILE response to any such request. Savannah
is one of the greatest assets of Georgia. 1t
pays its share of the taXes-and sometimes
more than its share-without murmur; it's
people support an orphanage that dates
back more than a hundred years; its
churches never fail to live up to their obli-
cations for supporting charitable institu-
tions from which Savannah receives no ma
terial benefit; its banks have a record for
honesty and banking honor unsurpassed by
those of any other city in the state-in
short, Savannah, when it comes to doing its
share for Georgia, is never found wanting
That's the reason the rest of the state is
so much interested in Savannah. 1t is the
town that lives up to its obligations to the
constituted authority, be it military, church
or state

Boy and the Brook.
A World Where Even a Fellows Moth
err and Sister Do Not Enter

Only the boy knows, l am sure, what the
brook is really like and especially the brook
in its deep pool under the highway bridge.
The grown man goes over-in farm wagons,
motor cars, on hayricks or on foot-but to
him it is a brook under a bridge, no more.
But the boy turns down through the black
berry tangle or tall ferns, perches himself
in the fork of the willow that bends it's
knees to the brown peaty water and is at
home in his surroundings If he is lucky
enough at the moment to be barefooted he
dips his feet to see how cold it is after rain.
He notes the swirl of the current and the
little overflows which are like patterns rails
ed on the surface of the water by mas
ter hand. He hears the brooks song as
we'll as the catbird's ditty from the bough.
He looks under the bridge to the sunlit pool
on the other side and sees the swarming
midges light against the sky, not dark
against the water, as they appear from
above. Sedge and watergrass are his com
panions on the sand by the willow tree. He
sees the trout leap and the minnows swim
and the water thrush busy in and out among
the forth thrusting roots and branches of
the streamside trees. He is fisherman,
hunter, explorer, citizen in a world of adj
venture and romance which he has no means
of sharing, except by a sympathetic silence
in companionship with a fellow adventurer
of his own age. 1t is a world which even his
sister and his mother do not enter

GUINEAs ON THE FARM.

From the Triton Gazette
According to The Dawson News, Terrell
county farmer intends putting in a large
flock of guineas to help him keep down the
boil weevil. The means should be effective
The guinea has wide feed range and the
fowl was found very useful on the small
farms in Texas when the boil weevil was at
its worst in that state. 1t is passing strange
that there are not more guineas on South
Georgia farms now; once they were compar-
atively numerous. They are hardy, feed
themselves, are prolific layers, and require
little attention. At the present price a guinea
hen would easily produce dollars worth of
eggs year, and if she also assisted in max
ing cotton crop by keeping down the wee
vii this neglected fowl should be one of the
most valuable of the farms by-produtcs
