PROBE OF SOLDIERS CHARGES.
War Department Takes Cognizance
!, of Allegations of Mismanagement.

Ell PASo, Tex, July 31.-special cor
respondents attached to the various
militia units In this district were made
uneasy today by the news that copies
of their articles to home papers deal
ing with treatment of the men have
been subpitted to the various COM
manding officers for Investigation.
1t is learned that at the order Of the
War Department these officers have
been instructed to get at the truth of
the charges of mismanagement, incom-
petence and neglect made in these
articles. If it is proved that the men
have been in any case made to suffer
needless hardships the blame will be
fixed But If it can be shown that
there was no basis for charges that
caused the relatives of the guardsmen
great mental anguish, then the guilty
writer's will shortly see themselves
homeward bound.
A detachment of 290 recruits of the
Massa achuSettS organization arrived

Noise at Band Concerts.
e Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
Please add to Lieut.. Santelmann's re-
quest at band concerts that the audience
rise and men remove their hats when the
national anthem is played that mothers
control their children from laughing,
talking and general noisemaking while
the band is playing. There is time and
place for the dear little ones to gambol
and play. but ii is not at these concerts,
where gifted and famous musicians are
executing the masterpieces Of composition
TO the delight of every lover of music.
Millions of Americans would pay large
admissions to hear these concerts that are
given free to the people Of this city, and
the least we should do IL to show how
much we appreciate IT,

Mr.. Walsh's Address.

Theirs was the spirit of true Amer
icanism," said Representative Walsh in
speaking of the men who fell in defense
of the United States flag. Patriotism
such as they displayed is a complete
answer to those who would libel their
countrymen. Their conduct should
awaken an appreciation of the devotion
of men of that race to our flag.
while we are all earnest in our
hope that war may not be a necessary
evil, to be endured in order to preserve
the rights of our country or it's citi-
zens, it is a glorious fact that we have
in our midst men who only a few
short years ago were in bondage, but
who today are showing the path and
setting the pace which lead to truest
patriotism.
"All honor to the heroes of Carrizal.
and may the memory of their unselfish
devotion be ever preserved in memory"

THESE BE FACTS.

The Cordele union station and its
surroundings presented a none to
retty aspect Thursday afternoon.
Iot that the throngs of travellers com
non to the holiday season were so
realty diminished. for they were not.
thursday caught hundreds of them
eturning from their Christmas visits,
while bela'ed ones were just going
. do their holiday visiting. Added
this there is a growing stream Of
commercial and other travellers, NOV
ID by the unusually active business
eason and preparations for the en-
1uing year. So the crowds in and
bout the union station. (mostly
bout were as large as they have
Deen during the Christmas rush.
But there was something different
n the appearance of things. The
,rowds were anxious and impatient
With their hurrying and scurrying to
ciange cars and catch trains. but

the anxiety was decidedly
and expressions of dis

Thursday the anxiety was decidedly
emphasized, and expressions of dis
comfort were more pronounced.
1t was raining,-not sprinkling, for
there were big drops of wetness, and
hundreds Of the travellers got wet
not damp but wet And to be a bit
more explanatory, they couldn't help
getting wet. II there had only been
a score Of travellers changing cars,
most of them would have gotten wet
in getting to their trains, but as it
was, the crowds were so congested
that some of the people just naturally
were showed from under shelter out
into the rain.
1t is not .infrequently the case that
the station proves insufflciently large
to hold the crowds, and there are no
sheds besides the tracks.
To Corde,es proposed rejuvenated
and reorganized and enlarged cham
Der of commerce, let it be suggested
that these be facts.

WHY THIS HIGH COST?

The Dispatch wanted to- print list
Of the contestants who won prizes in
corn club work from the Georgia Sou
thern & Florida Railway along its line
through Georgia in 1916 and felt speci-
ally proud that boy listed from Cor
dele and Crisp county won one of
these prizes until a glance at the cost
OF production per bushel revealed our
boy far behind all the cthcrs. Some
of the boys who won prizes from this
big railway corporation in their pub
lished report state that they produc-
ed their output at a cost - as low
as 17.3 cents per bIsl9l. One boy got
81 bushels, a Clylch county boy, at
the figures above mentioned. A Hous-
ton county boy at PGwerSville got a
yield of 81 bushels at cost Of is
cents bushel A Crisp county boy
got rs bushels, a fairly good yield, at
a cost of 81 cents per bushel.
1t would hardly be in good taste to
doubt the accuracy of cost figures pre-
scented by the Houston and Clynch
county boys, but how is it that our
own boy went to an expenditure OF
nearly three times as much as did
these boys to get his yield?
1t isn't true that just any old
thrown-together man can run a farm.
It is usually the case that when man
is fitted for nothing else, he calls him
self a farmer,-and he thinks pulling
a line on Old Beck" constitutes the
whole enterprise. Our boys corn cost
him 81 cents bushel when others I'M
der similar conditions on similar land
produced it at II and IS cents a bush
ell. Whether our boy has had a fair
deal in cost figuring or not does not
down the fact that conditions like this
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1916-12-31

exist among the farmers and they do
not know it. How many of us know
what the corn from our farms cost us
per bushel? Wouldn't cost compar-
isons work wonders among those who
just plough Old Beck till they get
tired and quit?
Does any farmer in Crisp county
know what it costs per bushel to make
corn? This is one of the best farm
ing counties in all Georgia. Was it
because our boy made a more faithful
report that he had to show higher
per bushel cost? Has anybody made
any corn at even 20 cents per bushel?
Can any local farmer explain this diff
'erence?

MORE ABOUT CREAMERY.

In this issue of The Dispatch APP
pears an instructive article on the
cooperative creamery written by Mel
son Ship, local boy who has seen
enough of the operation of such an
enterprise to tell many things that
most OF us do not know There is
abundance of information to be gath
cred from his article and every citi
zen will do we'll to read it,
The creamery is a necessity Of the
future 1t is a present day necessity,
but look at the things that must be
done before we can have it! There
is the cattle tick bobbing up. But here
is another man declaring that the dan
gerous tick, the kind that must be
exterminated can be eXterminated
The pest has been exterminated else
where and those who are in charge of
the work in Georgia promise to rid
this state by 1920 They would be
working this year in Crisp if we want
ed the work done.
But to the creamery: This man
&c in
man, all over the country. From the
milk routes two kinds of cream is
gathered, a sweet cream and sour
cream. Out of the sour cream the
butter is made The sweet cream is
never transformed into any other pro-
duct owing to the thousands of uses
made Of it. All this section Of the
country now buys its cream out of
New York state And the real cream
is worth more than butter
The creamery is possibility with
out Il uOlldI VI CdSll III oloCh eAplol'a
ton schemes. 1t requires strict bus
mess, but what is to prevent the bus
mess community and the farmers Of
the county from putting business
man in charge of the details to or
ganize and operate so as to bring to
our door the splendid advantages Of
this enterprise? Wouldn't it be easy
tosbring good man from the Wiscon-
sin dairy and creamery districts,
man with family and one who knows
the business? The enterprise is worth
fa7eH7tgaa aat,ss
