The Physiology class was given a
test over the six-weeks work, Friday
morning.
Blanch Brown entertained Mon
day evening in honor of Miss Duff
fard of Minneola who is the guest Of
Miss Miller.
Taken from diary Of an English
student.
Monday-Miss Wilson was absent
today on account Of illness, and there
was not an English class. Happiness.
Tuesday, Wilson still absent.
Owing to the marked scholarship of
the Senior, Harold Bragg, English
was resumed under his direction and
we received light test. Happiness
and little grief.
Wednesday-Miss Wilson is back
again but due to either or both
weakness or powder-she was pale.
Both grief and happiness,
Friday-The class was required to
write theme about modern, pleas
ant, and comfortable room. GRIEF.
Miss Jennie Galop Of Gray, Okla
homa, was the guest Of Miss Osa
Freeman over Sunday.
There was quite unique number
after the usual chapel exercises Fri
day morning, which served to in
crease the pep an enthusiasm among
the students. Also to those who did
not know who all the football play
ers were, it proved great help. Each
player gave little talk about him
self and then the coach, Mr.. Jarrett,
told us something about the game
which helped us to understand it bet
ter.
We won the game with Minneola
last Friday, lets boost together and
+ win the game with Meade tomorrow.
Miss Henry accompanied Miss Gar
rett and group of girls Friday
evening on a hike, to a barn some
miles in the country where the night
was spent. A breakfast was served
in the morning.
The first high school hike of the
season was held last Friday night.
The students met at the high school
building and then hiked to the fair
grounds. Two large fires were built
and the people gathered around them.
Games were played and then came
the Seats" Unfortunately there were
not enough wenies and marshmal-
lows. We think that there was rea-
son for the shortage. Too many peo-
pie who were not students were in at
tendance and neglected contributing
their Is cents. And we are afraid
that there may have been a few high
school people who forgot the Is cents
and then decided to attend. However
it isn't likely that such will be the
case again. Every one enjoyed the
evening. 148 people were out.

Under a new order of the Postmas-

a central accounting postoffice for
the county, which means that all 9TH
er postoffices in the county will
secure stamps and other supplies of
the Liberal postoffice instead of
making application at Washington as
heretofore. The offices at Hayne,
Kismet and Arkalon will send in their
postal reports to the Liberal postof-

the Liberal office.

REINCARNATI0NS.


Minister Kerensky is quoted by the
two Labor Party Commissioners who
have returned to England from their
errand in Russia as saying that Mich
olas Romanoff and others will be
brought to trial, presumably for trea-
son. He is said to have told them of
the finding of discriminatory docu-
ments" proving that the Court party
was plotting a separate peace when the
revolution interrupted them.
If the discriminatory documents have
been found, they prove only what was
matter of worldwide belief; we may
even say, of worldwide knowledge The
fact was the cause of the overthrow OF

the Court party by the Duma leaders

long. There will be no surprise at the
finding of documents proving a secret
which all the world knew; the wonder
would be if none were found.

the volunteer army will be next il
order, to be known as the national
army.
1t is presumed that the national army
will be distinct branch of the war
department, just as the National Guard
and the regular army at present con
stitute branches of the service. The
training of the National Army will be
one of the big tasks in which war Of
ficials will engage within the next two
or three months for the aggregation
proportions and the mobilization of
the men alone will not be half the
job, for they must be provided for,
immense amounts of goods will have
to be procured and a hundred and
one tasks will have to be performed
in order to make a great success of
the undertaking.
With a million men already under
arms and the national army to swell
the total by 625, 900 more men, it Will
be seen at once that the United States
is at least getting into shape from the
standpoint and within a year
after the state of war was declared
this country may have total of 2,500.-
900 men ready to uphold the antion's
order where they are ordered to go at
any time.
The country is naturally delighted
with the showing that is being made
and but fog the delay occasioned by
legislative enactments there can be no
criticism of consequence directed to
the officials who have achieved this
result and on the whole the world APP
plauds America for the consummation
Of it's undertaking and it must be re-
incidentally, that this
country has done other things than
plan and equip an army since hostil-
tiles began and it will continue to do
more than furnish its own fighting meR
and their supplies. In this way Amer
Ca will redouble its worth to civiliza
ion and the world.-Augusta Chron

AMERICAS FIRST ARMY.

Within the present week the United
States will probably have a total of a
million men mustered in the various
branches of the military service. 1t
will be the first real army of porten-
tious magnitude this country has ever
placed in service at one time and the
significant feature of it all is repre-

round million men ready to carry

THE PRACTICAL SOLUTION.

That the present General Assembly o
Georgia will enact legislation tendin
TO establish a more efficient, business
like method of conducting the state
business, is generally conceded BY
those who are in close touch with tn,
situation. A widespread sentiment IL
favor of such changes in system as
will result in the administration Of
the commemorative affairs with bet
| ter results both as fas as financial
economy is concerned in bringing the
representatives of the people of Geor
gia to realization that their constitu
ents desire REIMBURSEMENT of the Off
cial machinery.
The budget system of operation is
considered to be the remedy for the
chief defect in the present method of
handling the states finances.
Under the prevailing system, the
legislative body goes blindly ahead, APP
propriating funds for this, that and
the other purpose, almost totally obliv.
ious of the fact that the expenditures
for the various departments and pro-
jects must be restricted by the re-
ceipts of the state treasury.
The result is that enormous deficits
occur annually and are carried over
from one year to the next constituting
milestone hung about the neck of
the states institutions and hampering
the work of progress and development
of the states resources.
1t is not the purpose of the advo-
Gates of the budget system to curtail
the appropriations to the point where
the institutions for which they are de-
signed are made to suffer for lack of
funds. The idea is simply to apply
a system whereby it is possible to
forecast with reasonable assurance the
income of the state and keep the eX-
penditures rigidly within this figure.
The budget system is in use in many
states of the union, in cities through
cut the land where efficiency is de-
veloped to is highest degree. The
adoption of the budget system by the
federal government is urged by Presi-
dent Wilson, whose plan is to put the
ration's official machinery ON basis
which conforms to the best standards
Of modern business.
No business man worthy of the name
goes ahead, spending his cash re-
sources without regard to his annual
income He contracts only such liabil-
tiles as he knows he is able to liqui-
date when the time for payment ar
rives.
That the operation of civic and state
government should be on any different
basis does not coincide with common
sense principles.
The budget system of financing the
state of Georgia is the ultimate solu-
ton of many problem and as the nee
essity for business administration is
brought home TO the legislators now
gathered in Atlanta, it is difficult to
believe that they will allow the session
to come to an end and without placing
on the statute books laws which will
establish such a system.

LOWERING CLOSE TO WAR.

Citizens of this country should realize that
they are on the brink of war. The German sub.
marine campaign may cause the loss of American
ships and lives at any time. The president has
declared he will 60 to war to protect Americans
rights on the high seas if they are thwarted by
the submarine.
In the meantime the first week Of the new
German war measure showed a loss of more than
100000 tons for the shippers Of the world. Sew
eral thousand tons were the result of the last two
days of the first week and as the period of grace
is over it seems as if the undersea boats can be
counted upon to sink merchant ships faster than
before the unrestricted war was declared.
Their activity has caused several near covert
acts" and each time a period Of suspense went
through the nation. We have no intention of try
ing to make up your mind for you, but, inasmuch
as the government at Washington is going to do
what the people say, we suggest that everybody
who favors war write to their congressman, or
better still write to the war department, offering
your services. Only in this way can the activity
of the pacifsts be overwhelmed, because they are
writing letters and writing them fast.

THE LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE.

Most people have gotten the idea somewhere
that the League to Enforce Pace would set up
tribunal, which would judge all questions, render
its decision and enforce it with the combined pow.
err of the nations in the league against the re-
belling nation.
/ This is not the correct understanding of what
the league proposes. 1t does not mean to keep two
nations from fighting if they decide that their ma
tional honor requires war, but rather compel them
to submit to an investigation by an impartial COM
mission, which would make a recommendation,
leaving it to the nations involved to decide
whether the recommendation should be adopted.
Should either Of them reject the commissions
decision and decide to declare war the League
would not be called upon to take a hand.
In other words, the League merely compels
a period Of investigation before war is declared.
Should a nation refuse to allow the lapse of this
time, then, and then only, would the League at
tempt to coerce that power. Should America and
Japan have a dispute and war become imminent
they must submit the question to the League of
which they are members, but neither would be
bound to accept the decision of the League. If
either country refused an investigation then the
nations of the League would force the other to
accept it. Should both accept the investigation,
and then either refuse the decision, the League
allow them to settle the question between them
selves; it would have no further duty in the case
as it's only task is to punish an offender for refus-
to submit to investigation.

According to a published statement by J. F.
Mckay of the A. and M. College, in 1906, the en-
tire state of Mississippi shipped to the St. Louis
market 1924 head of cattle. Just ten years later
this had been increased to an annual shipment of
100000 head. In 1912 Mississippi shipped 1857
head of hogs to st. Louis, and in just four years,
1916, this had grown to a shipment of $4,000 in
round numbers. While such had been stated in
a general way of the increase in live stock raising
this showing in detail is surprising. AS Missis-
sippi live stock is shipped to Chicago, Kansas
City, Fort Worth, New Orleans, Natchez and
Mobile, it would be a safe assumption to, at least,
double the figures quoted. Such live stock stat
istics are both encouraging and valuable to place
before the public, and the state should provide
for full and complete reports of shipments.

"There is a roast-just enough for
three, and do you know how much it
cost me? 1t cost me 60 sous; l would
like to know where all the money
goes"
Such conversations are heard ev-
cry morning in these new subway
cars. They touch a point that no one
has yet been able to clear up. The
average retailer confesses to no great
er profit than is proportionate to his
own increased expenses. The farmer
and stock raiser insist that they are
getting no more than their share.
The farmer gets more for every
thing he sells that he did before the
war; 20 per cent. on the average for
mutton, 20 per cent. more for wheat,
twenty-five per cent. more for oats,
20 per cent. more for beef; but he
points out that, in compensation for
this increase, he now has to pay farm
hands twice the wages that he paid
before the war, while fertilizers which
he uses in considerable quantities
went from 60 francs to 1870 francs per
ton.
The retailer has no such excuse.
Rents are no higher than they were
before the war and it costs him no
more to light his shop or to run it; in
many cases his operating expenses
are necessarily less because he is
obliged to get along with less help.
The best authorities figure that the
retail grocer, butcher and greengro-
Ger are making from rs to 40 per cent.
more profits than before the war on
most Of the things they sell. The
producer is making at least 20 per
cent. more, the rest Of the advance
