BABY WEEK

Nationally a Better Baby Week"
will be observed in May. Conserva-
ton of child life is the great object
of this national movement for the in
struction of mothers and fathers how
to care and protect the little tots.
Taking an inventory, as it were, of
the little folks in town and to fur
Their the health and development of
the little ones. Fitzgerald is going to
send lot of her boys to the front,
some of whom may never come back,
it is the fortune of war. Let us Join
this baby week and take a survey of
the babies to take the places of the
ones that will join their country's col
ors. Unite the practical with the sem
tmental and bring the community to-
gcther in great movement to make
the city and county one large family
of helpful people, one for the other.
War times are serious times and
movement of this nature will bring us
closer together and make us feel a
keener interest in the welfare of our
fcllowman What better means to
bring about such desirable a result
than great gathering of all the little
folks in the city to enjoy one day
or one week as may be decided upon.
Fitzgerald needs some such civic
awakening and we believe this an ap-
propriatc method of bringing the mo-
theirs and fathers of the county to-
gether for a mutual benefit to all
The merchants could join in, make
it q special trade week, the city could
cooperate for patriotic reasons and
everybody would feel like taking a
hand in making everybody else hap
ply. Let us try it.

CULTIVATION OF COTTON

1t is very important that the cot
ton crop be cultivated as quickly as
possible after the rains we have Just
had. These heavy rains pack the soil
and cause hard crust to form,
which retards the growth of cotton.
A spike-tooth cultivator, harrow, or
weeder should be run over as rapid
ly as possible to break this crust in
order to let in air, warm up the soil,
kill grass and weeds before it gets the
advantage, and to hasten the growth
and fruiting of cotton.
Farmers frequently co not see the
Importance of this work when the
cotton is so small, but your yields are
going to be determined largely by the
time you cultivate your copy when it
is early in the growth Let the grass
and weeds get little start at this pc
Rod and the crop will be damaged
considerably.

ARMING VESSELS. - It seems
that The Day Book has gone over on
the side of the jingos when it claims
that the president is right in arming
merchant vessels and should use
force to break the blockade. Besides
it is not quite neutral, either. If the
president thinks it necessary to arm
the vessels now, why was it not nee
essaTy before, when the U. S. was
shut off from commercial or any
other communication with Germany.
The president will protect the peo-
pies right on the high seas. It seems
