COLOR WILL NOT COUNT

The Japanese are willing to send
their troops to Europe, "if the Allies
want them"
We anticipate the Allies will not be
so fastidious any longer, and that, be-
fore many months, the little yellow
skinned soldier will be in the trenches
side by side with the American, the
English, and the French.
East Indians, Africans, and negroes
have been passed into service in be-
half of the Allies.
Great Britain is recruiting from
every one of its colonies, bringing
together men of almost every known
color, race, and religion.
France is bled white. Belgium is
a smudge on the map. Serbia is in
capable of rendering service, and
Portugal can present a mere pittance
OF men. Russia is a liability, rather
than an asset. And Great Britain, by
sheer determination, is holding back
the Germans until the United States
can mobilize its resources on the
other side of the war.
In the end, the. United States must
win the war Even Lloyd-George &C

the present al least, cleverly outwitted
Uncle Sam.

Of course, the Guard is an entirely

And so Mr. Watson will continue
his writings, and his followers will be

Of course, he is. more restrained
now, more cautious. His first issue
of the Guard does not assail the
government at all, does not let the
bars down in any respect for the
pest office department to also deny it
the privileges of the mails.
However, the Guard will be watched,
probably more closely than the Jeffer-

interest the commissioners of each
county in the scheme, and convince
them of the practicability of the
project. The fact that its perfection
would not involve single dollar of
extra expense for any county would
be powerful factor in influencing
its adoption.
For that matter, good roads as

MR.. HARDWICK ON PATRIOTISM
COL

In the course of remarks on the
floor of the United States Senate Fri
day, Senator Hardwick prated about
his patriotism.
1t is conceivable that Benedict
Arnold might have indited disser-
tation on the subject We can imagine
that Henry Will might have uttered
a paeon to mercy. 1t is fairly cred
ible that Judas, with the money of
betrayal in one hand and the rope
with which to hang himself in the
other, could have had the impudence
To deliver a discourse on fidelity.
But
Hardwiek on Patriotism!
Samuel Johnson's declaration that
Patriotism is the last refuge of a
scoundrel" has never been clearly
understood and explained.
Perhaps Senator Hardwick, while he
is preaching the philosophy of patriot,
ism, can invest this celebrated passage
with new shade of significance We
refer it to him for an acute analysis

THE BEST PLAN YET.

The most feasible plan for develop

chain of good roads is the idea of
an Americas citizen, MIR. Frank Shelf
field, whose devotion to this subject is
so well-known,
Mr. Sheffield proposes a stretch of
GOOD road, kept in costant repair and
therefore in excellent condition all the
year round from county seat to equity
seat This would link every one of
the 152 counties in Georgia one with
the other. 1t would provide a system
of road maintenance that would insure
at least four thousand miles of
practically permanent highway. It
would not be burden on any county,
and it would not require either state
supervision or promotion.
1t occurs to The Times Recorder
that the state highway commission,
which in nearly two years in Office
has done absolutely nothing substan-
tive, could make itself useful and con-
tribute incalcuably to the higher de-
of the state, as well as give
good roads a decided impetus, by
to interest each county in
Georgia in this very practical pro-
gram. 1t would not take so very

OLD-FASHIONED DELIGHTS.

The boys are returning from their
vacations, spent in the mountains, on
the seashore, and in the cities of the
north, and are preparing to depart
for school and college.
So few of the boys nowadays en-
JOY the vacations their fathers be-
fore them had-whole months spent
on grandfather's farm, away from the
hustle of urban life and probably a
ten-mile buggy drive from the nearest
railroad station
If you were raised a city boy, it is
certain that tucked away in your
memory is the recollection of the
time when you visited the farm and
played with your country cousins in
the hay loft.
Even if you were born and reared on
the farm, it is equally certain that
you look fondly back upon the picture
OF the happy hours you spent in the
barn.
There is another thing that brings
this to mind-the fact that hay is
now being gathered and stored. But
the hay is not stored like the fathers
of today used to see it-packed up
il the loft of the old fashioned barn.
That kind of barn has been supplanted
b! modern structure, frequently con-
structed of brick or concrete, and oc-
cupied by automobile and motor tract
ors, where horses and plows used to
be.
There can be no more ecstatic mo-
ments in boys life than those
spent in the loft, deeply inhaling the
peculiar fragrance of the hay as he
stretches out upon it at full length
and, mayhap, maps out his career. Or,
perhaps, there were companions there.
playing hide-and-seek, a game es-
pecially adapted to barns we'll stocked
with hay Then a boy could truthfully
say, with the poet
When | play in our stable loft,
The good old hays so dry and soft,
An feels so fine, an smells so sweet,
l most forget to go and eat.
Robert Louis Stevenson, who cher
ished boys sentiments all his life,
has expressed an even finer appre-
citation in the following lines:
o what Joy to Chamber there,
0 what place to play,
With the sweet, the dim, the dusty
air,
The happy hills of hay.
But the modern boy knows naught
such pleasure A barn to him is
barn and nothing more. Hay to him
means a silo, and loft, if one there
be, is place where rubbish is stored.
The boy of today may enjoy himself,
with his summer resort dances or
trips to far places, but he will never
know the pleasures his father knew

LOW FIRE LOSS ON NATIONAL
FORESTS IN 1915,

A loss to the Government of 1892
3S5 in timber. forage and young gro
with was caused by fires on the Nat
ional Forests in 1916. according to
statistics compiled by the Forest Ser
vice. Although there was more than
the average number of fires, the loss
is the smallest that has been sustai
ned from fires since the National
Forests were established. A favor
able season in the regions where the
most severe damage is usually sus-
tanned is given as the chief reason
for the relatively small loss.
A total of 290.377 acres of Gov
eminent land was burned over. In
addition to this, the fires covered
1880 acres Of privately owned
land in the National Forests where
timber valued at s36,214 was con-
sumed. About A per cent of the
total area burned was located in the
National Forests of Arkansas and
Florida.

to areas of less than 10 acres. Many

they not been extinguished in their
