URGES TAX ON BIG PROFITS
kItehIn, Majority House Leader,
Aims at Munitions Makers.

Claude Kitchin, Democratic House
leader, believes revenue for war
should be raised by a heavy "excess
profits" tax. Munitions makers, he
argues, have been making millions
out Of war contracts and it Is regard
ed - certain that he will insist that
the rates of the existing tax on
profits shall be radically increased.
It IL admitted there must be q bond
issue, or several of them. Income
tax rates must be modified to meet
war conditions. There is talk of re-
vivtng the stamp taxes of the Span
ish-American war period.
A member of the Ways and Means
Committee summarized the situation.
There must be bond Issues. There
Is talk of stamp taxes, changes In
the income tax rates and other forms
Of internal taxation. We must know
what will be required, and this will
not become apparent until it Is de-
termined what part we are to play
In the war. The Ways and Means
Committee is up against the biggest
problem 1t has faced in several years,
and there is no certainty regarding
the details OF revenue legislation
that must be enacted"

CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS
PRAISE PENNSYLVANIANS

Among the interested spectators at the
community flag raising last Friday were
several Confederate soldiers, in gray
uniforms with red trimmings. They car
ried the Stars and Stripes aloft while the
old banner under which they fought was
furled. The venerable soldiers paid great
attention to the remarks of the speak
ers and were the object of much atten-
ton from the spectators. Sitting among
the men, who represented Camp 435,
United Confederate Veterans, was an
elderly woman, dressed in the same ma
terial as the men, and wearing a cam
paig nhat. To show their loyalty and
appreciation of the boys in brown who
have come from Pennsylvania, Camp 435
passed the following resolutions at re-
cent meeting:
Resolved: That Camp 435. U. C. ",
deem it a duty as we'll as a pleasure to
cooperate with the civic authorities at
the flag raising ceremony on Columbus
Day, October 18th, and at the same time
honor the great discoverer, Christopher
Columbus.
Resolved: That we take great pleasure
and pride in having located with us at
Camp Hancock, this city, that splendid
body of soldiers. comprising the Twenty

SOLDIERS SHIVERING

With the temperature at IL, A and A
several mornings in succession, the SOL
diers at Camp Hancock are shivering.
Likewise, the men of the Y. M. c. A.
The afternoons are delightful and drill
ing is easy under such a beneficient sun,
but as soon as twilight steals over the
earth and the sun sinks behind the west
ern hills, sweaters overcoats and even
gloves are requisitioned to keep the body
warm. All over camp, there has been
great activity in erecting stoves and
many of the tents have been embellished
recently with a bit of black stove-pipe
sticking through the top. Where stoves
have not been issued, and men have not
received their full supply of clothing, the
art of dressing on cold floors has been
accelerated greatly. Firemen have moth
ing on soldiers at Camp Hancock, when
it comes to dressing quickly. If any lad
from the north expected that the Geor-
gian sun kept things in a summary at
mosphere all the time, that young man
has learned something.

Resolved: That we shall regret to

future, and shall earnestly pray for their
safe return to their dear ones, after hav-

LORD KITCHENER'S
INSTRUCTIONS
To SOLDIERS
(To be inserted in the Soldiers Hand
ROOkl
MEMORANDUM.
BY His Exceleney General Viscount
Kitchener of kha'toun, G. c. B.,
o. f., G. C. M. c., Commander
in-Chief in India,

o. IL, G. G. NJ. c., Commander
in-Chief in India.
On his arrival in India, Lord Kitch-
ener learned with regret the very Sc
rious extent of the ravages made by
veneral diseases among British Troops
serving in this country and at once
set to work to combat it's growth and
spread in the army. The results of
these efforts, so far, have been en-
couraging; but there is a limit to what
can be done in this direction by the au-
thorities to whom the welfare of the
Soldier during his tour of service lis
entrusted, unless they receive the
hearty coo operation and assistance of
the men themselves, and it is in order
to obtain their help that Lord Kitch-
ener addresses to them these remarks
which he desires them to read to keep
in mind during their service in India
Each Man Should Be Credit and Not
Burden.
Above all things, men must remem-
Der that they should do credit to their
regiment, for the good name of reg
iment lies in the keeping of every man
belonging to it and necessarily suffers
if the men become inefficient through
venereal.
1t is discreditable, and even dishon-
est, that by contracting through self
Indulgence Q1SeaSe Wnlcn ne can
avoid, a man should render himself
incapable of doing that work for his
country which he enlisted to do.
A Soldiers Duty.
1t is therefore the duty of a soldier,
not only to keep himself clear of dis
ease, but also by his good example to
help his comrades to avoid tempta-
ton.
Older Men.
The older men particularly should
realize their responsibilities in this re-
spect Very much depends on the
tone and example which they set, and
even if they themselves have suffered
there is all the more need that they
should do their utmost to keep younger
comrades straight, and prevent them
frow lowering the good name of the
regiment as a whole. No soldier who
is not able to exercise due restraint in
Trench and camp. [volume] (Augusta, Ga.) 1917-1919, 1917-10-17

EN- NiEK

EN- mer, sometimes called
speltz, is a feed crop grown
quite generally over this section,
Not many varieties have been
developed and this article will
be concerned with a comparison
Of this crop with oats and bar
ley.
Most Of the stations conclude
from their results that Emmer
is not as consistant and high in
yield as the best varieties Of oats
and barley. However an exam
ination Of the records shows that
although emmer does not yield
as high on the average, it sur
passes oats and barley in most
dry years like 1911. Emmer has
proven to be a good drought and
rust reSlStcnt. 1t would there
fore appear that emmer could be
grown on the farms Of this Sec
ton of the state to good advan-
tage. In comparison with oats
and barley, it would not be
grown at a great loss during nor
nal years and a good crop of en-
mer in a season of drought when
feed is scarce would be very well
come. My idea of emmer would
be to grow a small area each
year supplementary to the oat
and barley crops.
