AERoPLANEs AWED THE PeoNs
And Our Soldiers CheerfulIy Lied
 About Our Air Strength

When the first American aeroplanc approached Ascencion, a Mexican wo- anan who saw it coming exclaimed to a neighbor;
 Look Maria, at the huge, fast bird coming out of the north, How rapidly it grows larger, My God. it's not a bird. it's men!" And the poor half-In- dian woman fell in a faint.
 At first the farmers and their wives and children ran to hide themselves when they saw our aeroplanes coming, but when they found that the Amer ican sky boats did not hurt them they learned to watch the aircraft with dumbfounded interest. Besides, they saw it was useless to hide.
 "Senoi,' an old Mexican said to an American officer, how can Villa es- cape those great steel eagles you sail in? Holy Virgin, it is useless to try to hide from them; they see every wherel They are the grandfathers of the hawks"

Money in the United States.

The current issue of the letter periodically
circulated by Henry Clews Co. contains
some interesting observations regarding
money in the United States.
The outlook along this line is encouraging,
say these astute New York bankers. Money
in circulation in the United States now
amounts to $4,0O0,OOO, 900, which is $4OO,-
600, 900 in excess of the holding year ago.
Mr.. Clews shows that the situation in this
respect has changed so materially that New
York bankers are in many cases transferring
large balances to London in order to secure
the better rates which the English capital
is willing to pay at present. Extraordinary
demands are being made on our capital
applications since January l having aggre-
gated approximately $2,000,OOO, 900, which
is nearly double the amount of a year ago
Almost $45O,OO0,O0O of this amount repre-
sents foreign loans of various descriptions,
about 100000, 900 industrial issues, and
about $50O,OOO,OOO are accounted for by
railroad issues.

The Hog, the Cow and the Hen.

Recent stories in The News telling of ship
ments of hogs and cattle from Terrell cOun-
ty are ample proof of what can be accom-
plished with stock raising by the farmers Of
Southwest Georgia.
Several car loads of meat animals going
out in the past several months and not
single car load of meat coming in is re-
markable change. 1t means that thousands
upon thousands of dollars are saved to be
used in the various lines of endeavor which
our people follow.
Along with the actual saving on meat
and the actual amount of money made from
the sale of hogs a number of farmers are in
creasing their prosperity and adding to their
independence by the sale of chickens and
eggs.
Established and reliable markets have
been built up for all kinds of poultry, hogs
and dairy products. Farmers who offer pro-
duce for sale no longer have to sell at what
ever the buyer happens to offer, but there
is always a market for all kinds of produce.
The success of the stock and poultry bust
ness is in having plenty of feed and small
acreage in feed crops on any farm will be
a mistake. There ought to be plenty of feed
planted.

The Mother.

That old adage, ''The hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world" was never truer
than in this twentieth century. Pious and
devoted mothers have built up nation OF
God-fearing people, who today are the bull
wark of our republic.
The fact. perhaps, that the American ma
ton is today at peace with the world, while
all Europe is drenched in blood and red with
war. is because Christian mothers rule IN
the homes of our people. The mother Is one
of the greatest agents of civilization Most tG
all great men attribute their success TO the
fact that they were reared in homes where
sainted mothers sowed the seeds of morality
and manhood that eventually shaped the des-
TIMES of their children.
A man can never fully shake off the lntiu-
ence of his mothers training. 1t goes with
him to the grave. Those of US whose moth
ers have passed into that dim silence like to
90 back in fancy to our boyhoOd days-the
days of youth and home: 1t seems as if we
are "around the old hearthstone" again
Again do we kneel at the mothers knee to
lisp the evening prayer. Again she takes US
in her arms and sings the soft lullaby of

Criticise Rural Credits Law.

Organization of the rural credits board
has been accompanied by criticism OF the
new law just enacted.
A greater part of the criticism comes from
the great Middle West where the farmers
take the position that the law is without any
distinctive advantage to land owners. They
hold that it will be just as difficult for them
to obtain money for farming purposes
through rural credits banks as through ma
tionaI and state banks, to which they give
ample securities of recognized value or real
estate mortgages. They must be share own
ers in rural credits banks, and this ties up
funds which they can use to better advant-
age.
1t is possible that farmers are indulglng
in criticism of the new law before they have
opportunity to judge of its merits. The law
is not yet fully operative, banks have not
vet been established and shares have not
been offered for sale. 1t might be better
to wait until the plan is in operation and
practical experience has been gained.

Public Waste of Paper.

While the newspapers throughout the
country are economizing in paper IN every
way possible the government continues TO
print millions of useless documents. True,
there is a bill pending which would reduce
the governments expenditure for more
than three quarters of million dollars, but
the bill is receiving very little attention
from congress. This money largely pays
for documents which senators and repre-
sentatives use as campaign" literature.
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald says that there now lies
in the cellars of the capitol an accumulation
of useless documents amounting to thous-
ands of tons AS is the custom these docu-
ments will some time be sold as waste paper.
In the last six years waste to the value OF
S5OO,000 has thus been disposed of. And
what is true of the government at Washing
ton is true to lesser extent in state gov
ernments, which spend hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars every year printing docu-
ments at the expense of the public
But the waste in the cellars of the federal
and state governments is not the total waste
in paper from this source. Annually there
are sent out for campaign purposes millions
of copies of official reports and documents
of various kinds to people who merely glance
at them and throw them into the waste bas-
ket This waste is upwards of half a mil
lion dollars. Thus there is a total of more
than one million dollars year in newsprint

MexicO'S Burden.

A compilation by the Journal of the
American Bankers Association shows that
the external debt of Mexico due mostly to
England and France, amounted to nearly
5000, 100000 at the beginning of 1916. Her
internal debt amounted in American dollars
to S8O,OOO,000. These are vast amounts,
but not anything like the average American
was led to suspect after the years of devas-
tating revolution to which the republic has
been subjected
But it is a vast burden that the shat
tered republic is called upon to bear, and the
outlook is dark for her wretched, starving
people. There is no country in the world
today more potentially rich. She has vast,
inexhaustible resources of oil and minerals
and tropical products that are in constant
demand abroad. With just and enlightened
laws that would give back the soil to the
people and few short years of peace Mex
leo would take a proud place among the
nations of the earth.
The present rulers, however, have dis
played little capacity for visioning such
bright future or for laying the foundations
that will make it possible. Mexico's griev-
GUS misfortune is that the best and brightest
of her sons are in exile and that she herself
is bound hand and foot in the tolls of an
INSCRIPTIONS military clique of adventures

That "New Discovery.

Some newspapers are evincing DISPOSE
tion to become excited over an announce
ment from Germany that method has been
discovered whereby cotton stalks may De
utilized for the manufacture of white news
paper. Few periodicals in the South nave
shown interest for they know thing or two
by now
The German discovery is not a discov-
erv. but an old idea revamped The adapt
ability of the cotton stalk for paper manu-
facture was uncovered long ago.
It is undisputed that the fbrous cotton
stalks are ideal material for the purpose,
but repeated experiments-one OF which was
made at a plant installed near Macon, here
in Georgia, at considerable expense-haVe
failed to find a successful way to utilize
them. The value of the stalks is so small
as to preclude cheapness. Newspaper can be
manufactured from them all right, but the
paper when manufactured is dishearten-
inglv higher in price than that made from
the woods of our virgin forests, and there IS
no indication that the latter will be dis
placed in popularity at any time IN the I'M
mediate future, if at all.
Cornstalks have also been tried out on
numerous occasions. They suffice, though
not nearly so we'll as the cotton stalks; but,
again, as with the cotton stalks, the cost
of their transmutation is entirely too high.
There are, as matter of fact, one or two
small mills in the South where paper is man
ufactured from materials other than wood,
but these plants are conducted on an eX-
tremely small scale, and have not proved
profitable to their operators
The most notable thing about the discus
sion which has ensued, however, is the fail
ure to realize that the German saVant has
merely rediscovered, not discovered, that
he is several years behind the times.

Fiffeen-Cenf Cotton.


The Savannah Press says cotton is
going to Is cents. We don't know how
the editor found it out, but we hope
there is no mistake about lt.-DaWson
News:
Good middling cotton was quoted on the
Savannah Cotton Exchange floor yesterday
at fifteen cents. And there was pretty
good demand for it at that figure Ihere
is no mistake about it at all. The staple Will
bring the price if it is brought to this great
cotton market, and there is lot of it being
brought here.
The staple is very firm at the price NAM
ed; so firm that it is certain to go even
higher than fifteen cents. 1t would not sur
prise US to see cotton selling at twenty cents
a pound before many months have passed.
We hope it reaches that figure while some
of it is in the hands of the men who make it.
There is every reason why cotton should be
higher in price than for a long time before,
and there is no good reason that we can
see why it should go backwards. The de-
mand for the staple is very marked even
with the European war on and with large
part of the foreign market cut off. When
the war comes to an end-and it must end
some time-the demand for cotton is 60
ing to be so very great that ten million
bale crop will not meet it.
The world is using more cotton than ever.
The South, which must do the lions share
toward supplying this demand for extra
bales of the staple, is beset with the boil
weevil and other enemies to cotton, which is
going to have a tendency to shorten the pro-
duction. We have in large section of the
South vet to learn how to raise a cotton
crop under boil weevil conditions Texas
has learned her lesson in this regard, but
the planters in Alabama and Georgia have
not yet done so.
Experience is a bitter teacher, but II is
IL h. +bo1
farmer knows. His neighbours cotton can be
swept clean by an onslaught from a boil
weevil army this season, but he never thinks
the pest is coming into his crop next year.
He waits to find out and usually discovers
to his sorrow that the average cotton pest
knows neither friend nor foe, but attacks
the crops of all alike. So with the boil Wee
vii getting active in Georgia and other sec
tions of the South where he has not visited
before it can be expected the cotton produc-
ton is going to be shortened. The demand
is to remain strong and the inevitable re-
suit will be higher prices for the crop that
is marketed.
The farmers deserve more for their cotton
now than in the past A bale sold at fif-
teen cents pound in August, 1916, nets
but little more than one that sold for ten
cents in August, 1914. The cost of produc-
ton is greater; the cost of fertilizers has
gone up; the cost of agricultural nipple
ments, of clothing, of the comforts to which
the successful farmer is accustomed, have
advanced
The farmer deserves more for his cotton
than before, and we are glad he is getting
it. We are glad, too, the new price has
been reached while some of the cotton is
still in the hands of the man who raised it.
Therein lies much of the cause for rejoic-
ing that cotton is now quoted at fifteen
cents a pound.
