particularly weighty because each of our allies
trusts the earnestness and the capacity we already
have shown to serve the common cause. They
have billions of our treasure thrown into the
balance. They have large contingents of our
troops arrive in France as a presage of hundreds
of thousands and maybe millions more to follow
They have realized, too, that our Government does
not desire to dictate but simply to weld together

activities as we'll economic interests.
In saying the American" plea we do not mean
to imply that far-sighted craftsmanship in Eng
land and France is less earnest than that of the
United States in urging closer cooperation among
the Allied democracies. Prime Minister Lloyd
George and Premier Clemenceau have long been
ardent advocates of this policy, the former having
pressed it with such vigor to precipitate
what almost political crisis. The fact, how
ever, that he was sustained overwhelmingly in Par
lament and by the greater part of the British press
proved the practical wisdom of his insistence But
it was Americas entrance into the war, followed
by the arrival of American troops in France, that
gave renewed and especial emphasis to the need or
greater unity among the Allies It's physical re-
noteness from the war center enabled the United
States to with peculiar clearness the composite
needs of the situation-the needs of Franco-Brtt-
ish-Italian-American cause. This perception was
made still clearer by each OF the leading Allies

plainly enough that although the best of feeling

opportunity of the United States to work for the
common interests in pressing forward it's own in

Lack of such unity has been largely responsible
for many OF the delays and in the Allies
campaigns. Recognizing this fact, England, France

In as large a measure of centralized cooperation
as is now practicable. 1t is not to be expected that
the proposed War Council will have powers COM
parable to those Of the German General Staff. At
the outset, indeed, it's functions may be chiefly of
an advisory nature. But 1t will afford far broader
and at the same time far more definite basis for
concerted planning among the Allies; and from
full unity of plans, unity of action will almost
naturally follow.

Pig Clubs in Georgia.

In a condensed statement just issued by James
e. Bowling, pig club expert Of the State College
of Agriculture, it is learned that Grady is the ban
ner pig club county of the State with Fulton a
very close second. Bibb was third and Schley
fourth, while 'twenty-one other counties won val
liable prizes at the three big fairs in the state At
lanta, Macon and Valdosta
The pig club plan in Georgia has been in opera
ton just four years. five boys and one girl show
ing six pigs at the State Fair in 1913 Since that
time the idea has spread amazingly, and Mr.. Dow
ling expresses the belief that next year there will
be fully ten thousand boys and girls in the State
actively affiliated with pig clubs.
This means great deal more to Georgia at
large as we'll as to the boys and girls themselves
than blue ribbons and cash prizes It literally
means cutting down and finally eliminating the
Western pork bill amounting to millions Of dollars
annually and the shipping of pork from this State
to other states.
At the recent Atlanta, Macon and Valdosta fairs
the Dig club boys and girls exhibited 500 pigs "a
record" Mr.. Bowling says, hardly eQualed the
country over" This is indeed, a splendid achieve
ment and much credit is due the county agents
who are interesting the boys and girls in this pro-
ftable field. This is one institution which cannot
become top-heavy through excess membership, and
every section not now organized in pig club work
should be brought into line as quickly possible
The Journal is strong for the pig club boys and
girls.

Small Farms the Nations Need.

When the war is ended and the country again
is running on level basis Of Industrial and agri
cultural development the chief burden, as has
been the case, will fall upon the farmer. Independ
emit of Europe's thousands who will come to these
shores in search of homes far removed from
scenes of carnage, America will have hundreds of
thousands OF her own men to care for, many of
whom will be unfit because of nirmityeB 10 take up
commercial and industrial pursuits but who will be
admirably adapted for more placid endeavors. The
farm offers this and along with it independence.
Senator Harding, of Ohio, in his advocacy Of
the small farm undoubtedly has sounded a note Of
material and vital interest to all America and one
which, IL properly carried out, will do much toward
solving the greatest problem that will be imposed
upon this nation when peace finally is declared.
That problem is summed up in the one word, in
dustrial. The Ohio Senator wants farm for every
soldier.
Every nation is permanently rich and prosper
GUS in the ratio of its agricultural expansion. 1t
was the small farmer of France who made it posi-
BILE to pay the enormous and unholy indemnity
acted by Germany in 1870, and it has been the
small farmer and community system OF farming
who have enabled the Huns to continue their
atrocities for than three years, with the end
not yet in sight. And by the same indisputable
token it is the lack of the small farmer which is
largely II not wholly responsible for England's de-
plorable food deficiency.
According to Senator Harding, and 1t is fair to
assume that his figures correct, there thirty
millions of idle acres in the New England states
alone thirty-ve million in the middle states
and more than FIVE hundred million acres through
out the nation awaiting occupancy. In the South
there are approximately one hundred and fifty mil
lion acres unused today.
Looked at from any angle this is a frightful
wastage There is no occupation more honorable
than that of farming and certainly none comparable
to it in point of entire independence. There was
period when large farms one to ten thousand acres
we're needed in the South, but with the surrender
of Lee that day passed. 1t is the little fellow the
one two three and four-horse farmer need In
the South North, East and West. After the war
sheer necessity will send millions to the farm. We
should so adjust ourselves that they may become
landowners and along with this should develop
the community spirit with cooperation the COM
munity keynote. The solving of the industrial
problem after the has its real fulcrum in the
soil and is one for governmental action, If there
be no other means

Herculean Shipbuilding.

Observation-Disclosures under the direction of
the Governments Emergency Fleet Corporation,
have set themselves the herculean task of produc-
ing six million tons of shipping within year and
of keeping this pace for the war period. To carry
out so unprecedented program will tax the
sourcefulness of country long famed for indus
trial speed and power. But after season Of I'M
fortunate differences among .counselors and Of con-
sequent confusion and delay, the work of construc
ton is at last fairly in swing, with cheering pros
pect of results Forty-three shipyards are in
operation on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and be-
tween twenty-five and thirty on the Pacific Ac-
cording to recent figures from Washington,
tracts have been let for eight hundred and eighty
four new vessels, while four hundred and twenty
six under process of construction have been requi
sitioned. BY the end Of next year, 1t is promised,
one thousand, four hundred and nine vessels will
be ready for service, including two hundred and
seventy-eight heavy cargo carriers and seventy
transports
These promises must be fulfilled and the six
million-ton mark fairly attained IL Americas
strength is duly to count For all their vastness our
resources economic and human will have
no decisive weight unless there ample
means of throwing them fully and swiftly into
struggle. To all the Allies transportation is
highly important but to the United States it
is peculiarly so. We must compass three thou
sand miles of ocean to get within striking dis
lance of the enemy We must maintain steady
stream of supplies for troops in France, al
ready numbering into hundreds of thousands and
destined eventually, perhaps, to number millions
Furthermore, we must do best toward keeping
our allies provisioned. Each Of these problems is
of basic Importance, and each calls for ships.

- The Conquest of the Tick.

The release of fourteen additional Georgia
counties from the Governments cattle-tck quaran-
tine is cheering evidence of progress in partic-
ularly important work. Tick infection has been
the obstacle to cattle-raisng in the South.
Ten years ago more than hundred and
twenty-eight thousand square miles of territory
were under federal quarantine because of that
pest. Had conditions continued so, there would
have been scant hope for extensive development in
breeding dairying any of the industries de-
of National and State departments of agriculture,
generously aided by many private concerns and
earnestly supported by thoughtful farmers, have
been so effectual that more than half of the in
remainder probably will be freed in the course of
few more years.
Just how important this is may be gathered
from the statement Of the Bureau of Animal Hus-
bandry to the effect that the South has made
greater in developing the cattle industries
during the past five years-the period of greatest
success in eradicating the tick--than in all the
preceding fifty years And the Bureau adds that
during this period the cattle industry has advanced
rapidly in the South than in any other region
of the United States. Georgia has abundant cause
for satisfaction therefore, in the release Of fifteen
additional counties from the tick quarantine This
means opportunity, progress, new pros
periy in one of our richest fields of natural treas
ure Once freed from the tick Infection this State
will come fully into its a national center of
livestock industries.

Bolshe means more. TX is the Russian termina-
tion-signifying agent. Hence Bolshevik is
more-ist or as we would say, extremist. You
might call him a whole-hogger. Boshevih is the
plural.
The human seems to be divided into two
classes those that don't want to try it at all and
those that want to run it into the ground.
We sometimes use the terms conservatives and
radicals reactionares and progressives, and stand
matters and reformers
The history of every political crisis is but the
story of the struggle between these two kinds OF
folk
On the one hand is tradition, the strength and
advantage gained by doing things as they always
have been done; on the other hand is the efficiency
that comes from initiative, the courage to try ex-
perments.
The best condition of any group is not that In
which either one of these parties rules unchecked
China illustrates the predominance of the one, Rus

mind is not a perfect machine; the ideas it pro-
duces and the logic that makes them, are as i'm

wisdom; facts Gods.
So it is a good plan to keep your feet on the

thing old or left over, but to keep it clean and

On the day following the mistress happened to
look out of the window and she noticed something
peculiar in the yard. Calling Hilda, she asked:
What is that and how did it get there?"

A VENDER OF DREAMS

He stood upon the corner in the citys crowded
place,
Selling his pale white llacs from distant country
lanes,
With the tan of April sunshine all fresh upon
his face
Dealing in Gods own treasure to help hts scanty
gains.
Come and buy the lilacs, I'm selling dreams
today
Fresh from fields of Paradise, with dew upon
them yet,
They will take you from the city to meadows far
away,
Where once their April coming you nevermore
forget"
Then some bought his lilacs, some one dressed
In silks and laces
And took them where the sick ones lay, amid their
grief and pain
And then behold! the light of Joy came back upon
their faces,
To see Gods promise of the Spring in lilac blooms
again.

~HAT the mind can manufacture poison as truly

teal Importance to everybody. If only 1t
were universally appreciated we should have far
less ill-health than troubles mankind today.
For, just poisons may be produced in the
body by the mind so may they be expelled from
the body by the mind. In proof let me cite re-
cent experience of a personal friend.
Election morning this friend, broker In an
eastern city, rose feeling in excellent health. He
ate a hearty breakfast then left his home to walk
to the polling place and vote before going to his
office.
The day was fine, the air crisp and bracing
NV friend thoroughly enjoyed his walk until he
came in sight of the schoolhouse where he was to
vote
Then, with startling unexpectedness, he began
to feel i'll.
His heart palpitated he was dizzy and weak
The discomfort increased until, entering the poll
ing place. he felt positively nauseated
Having voted, he hurried out as quickly as he
could He was in doubt whether to return home

Editorial Echoes.

The Regular army, like the new national army
is drawn man by man from every city and hamlet
in the Republic, but the national guard, now all
in federal service, is composed of organizations
which as such are and long have been important
parts of our social fabric. While censorship de-
nies us the pleasure of mentioning the units in de-
tall the vacant camps filled with strangers
reveal truths which nobody conceal.
1t will be gratifying to all friends of the guard
to know that large proportion of it has been
deemed worthy of instant service with the regu-
lars We can only hope that in time the military
authorities will see-that if the people are given
an opportunity to follow the fortunes of their
favorite corps no harm can be done. Few British
bulletins of battle fail to mention some historic
regiment like policy here would hearten the
men at the front as we'll as all their relatives and
friends at home-New York World.

opportunities for Teaching in a Rural
Community" won second prize and
George Lucius Russell, who had de-
Ilvcred an address on Life at Annap-

sidered three Others as close con-
testants.
Aside from those already mentioned
the speakers were; Elizabeth Harriet
Hamilton of Bridport, the sautatorian,
who in her essay on 1.-THE Value of
Latin" earnestly set forth the real
practical advantages of the classical

Woman in War, and Paul Atwood
Whitney of Salisbury, who delivered an
Grafton on aircraft in War, ana
Kenneth Morgan Preston Of Salisbury,
