SOME "sTEAM POWER"

Albany took a handle factory away
from Cordele this year. That city
cleared on its electro lighting and
power plant in 1914-the hard Euro
pean war year-$21, 531.00. The same
year its water plant cleared $9949.
The two plants at the same time paid
all maintenance expenses, interest on
bonds, etc, furnished lights and wa
ter for streets and all public buildings
owned by the city. to the Dougherty
county court house and all public build
ings owned by the county, and lights
TO the Y. NJ. "A, free of charge. Out
of the two plants Albany got more
than $4,000, with which to help run
the municipal government and the
schools. That's a showing capable
of taking away from us more indus
tries, no matter what the power with
which they are operated.

WORTHY OUR BEST.

In keeping with other cities over the
country Cordele is making elaborate
plans for a preparedness parade which
mas been planned in connection with
he unwilling of the electric flag on
he court house dome July 4. Both
vents will serve to make the day one
If unusual interest and the entire
community, not citizen excepted,
should have part in the ceremonies.
Members of Fort Early chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolution,
have already made such preparations
for the day as would indicate that they
are doing well their part. Plans have
been made to carry out program that
will provide inspiration for a great
manifestation of patriotism. Every boy
and girl and every grown-up can have
part in the parade and become a guest
of the ladies who will have charge of
the ceremonies at the unwilling of the
flag at the court house.
AS a matter of civic pride every per
son ought to take hold at the post he
to occupy and work for great oc-
aston Every business house ought
close its doors at the appointed hour
md send the employees to their places
n the preparedness parade. for in that
march it will be possible for every per
on to put forth the greatest NANTES
alton of dignitied love of country.

easily substantiaten.
But there is one thing the local bus
mess man seems to stand in need OF
He fails in a measure to grasp his full
lest opportunities in the matter of go
ing after business. Business indif-
ference is costly. 1t is serious er-
ror to quit complaccntly with the idea
that we are going to get all that's
coming to us anyway. The merchant
who pulls himself inside and sits there
mating, waiting, usually does little
better than wait on till another and
another day for the business that does
not tumble incidentally into his place.
It takes eternal work to accomplish
something. The successful man or
business concern has no idle time. II
there is a lull, the dull time is spent
planning to reach further out and
broaden the scope The enterprise
where all hands are busy seldom suf-
fers reverse if the effort is well put.
Our business community ought to
study together the means of making
itself felt over a wide section, for it
is this sort of work that will make it
bigger business center. Each bus
mess ought to put itself forward with
every possible effort to capture more
business this year than last-with ev-
cry possible effort to increase the bus
mess of today over yesterday, every
day in the year.
Men who work in this manner make
up a live, progressive business com
muaity and the outside world learns
very, very soon that there is business
life and activity hereabout. Our bus
mess volume can be greatly increased
with both individual and organized eff
fort and now, if ever in our lives, we
should be up and doing.

WATERMELON SHIPMENTS

Many Crisp county farmers are
growers or shippers of watermelons
and are interested in one way or the
other in seing that the melons are
transported to market and delivered
at destination in sound healthy, mer
charitable condition.
The past few years, no one, or few
f any have made money in watermel
ons, for various reasons, the most sig
nificant of which has been brought to
light by the Investigations of DR.. w
A. Orion, the Government Pathologist
IN charge of cotton and truck disease
investigations. The investigation con
Quoted under the auspices of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
has determined

ca That melons arrived at desti-
nation infected by one of the following
diseases or both.
(a) Anthrocose or Watermelon
Smallpox, the remedy for which
is spraying with Bordeaux Mix
ture in the field.
OBJ Diplodia or Stem Rot caus-
ed by a germ gaining entrance
thru the opening in stem end OF
melon after it had been clipped
from the vine The length of
life of this germ or its spores is
very long and yet undetermined.
CD That freight cars which have
contained diseased melons must inc

az That freight cars should as a
precautionary measure be first thor

A solution of copper of sulphate ap-
piled with a force pump in sufficient
quantity to barely wet the ceiling, walls
and floor of car. This should be done
before loading at which time car
should be thoroughly dry.
(5) That the majority Of loses are
caused by Diplodia, very contagious
disease and sound healthy melons

caution to disinfect their cars in pref

June 18th, 1916.
I'VE are preparing to thoroughly

INTO THE MEXICAN MAELsTRoM.

There are many Americans who
would "wade" into Mexico to fight II
they had opportunity now. One coun-
ty seldom suffers as much at the hands
of another as the United States has
suffered from wrong doing on the part
of Mexico.
II may not be the better element OF
the citizenship of Mexico that is be-
hind the ugly demeanCr of the past
few weeks, but if there is such
thing as the better element of citizen
in Mexico, it certainly is time that
country use such citizenship to save
its national integrity
There can be no doubt about it, I'm
cle Sam is going after his little hand

may look for this part of the program
to be. carried out on time. The larger
number of the prisoners are negroes
but for all that they are soldiers and
American citizens and if a Mexican
"greaseI' harms a kinky hair on one
of their heads there'll be trouble.
There is every indication that Mex
lean trouble makers are trying to force
this country to take up arm against
that country. American arms will
eventually have to be used in setting
up a. government in Mexico unless
things change very, very rapidly. Ev-
every movement of the army in this
country now seems to be directed
with that end in view. Diplomats
in Washington realize fully that they
no longer have men of reason with
whom to deal in the matter of settling
Mexican troubles. Every advance is
made now with a view of throwing
an army on the border with the great
est possible speed. Mexican outrages
have brought affairs to most acute
stage and the day of reckoning is very
near at hand.
Every precaution has been taken
ion account of the impression that may
be created among South American
countries, but President Wilson and
his cabinet now seem to be well assur-
ed that they have the full sympathy
of those nations to the south and if
they retain their confidence while
they go into Mexico and clean up, the
whole thing will be well done.
This country cannot well afford to
go land hunting at the risk of destroy
ing the friendship of South American
countries and for this reason it has
been stated over and over again that
imperialism is not our motive. De-
jpredations on our borders, destruc-
ton of American property and Amer
lean lives both in Mexico and in our
bordering states is a thing that must
be stopped, and when this task is &C
complished our task will be finished,
if we have a proper conception Of the
pletion.
1t is pretty generally believed that
y this can be accomplished without Sc
rious injury to the interests of Ameri-
can and South American commerce.
There is hardly likelihood of inter
national difficulties. A good thrash
ing is due somebody and Mexico de
serves a season of peaceful rest from
the plundering, numbering marauders
who have ceased to be satisfied with
Tobbing their own citizens and destroy
ing their property.
If American arms ever owed civil
lization. duty, they owe it now on
the Mexican border. Let us be up and
to the task.
