I If he can ever hope to excel in any
thing, it is in the agricultural line
where he has spent much of his life.
For it's splendid access to Georgia's
best agricultural section and for it's
central place among the best farming
negroes in the state, Cordele cannot
be beaten. No place else would suit
the negroes quite so well. In their
schools here the negroes have al
ready made progress that is notable.
1t has already become an educational
center for the negroes that is ahead
Of the average Georgia town and it
would be easy to- make the agricul-
tural college worth most to them at
this point.
We hope Everybody, both white and
black, that may have an interest in
securing tnlS Drancn OF the state uni
versity for Cordele, will realize the
importance of quick action and move
at once wit a view of bringing the
institution here. Wherever the col
lege goes, it is sure to prove a great
advantage in the making of better
negro farmers. 1t will be an institu-
ton that will require the spending of
considerable money each year The
state will maintain it as it does other
branches of the university and it will
never want for the things that go to
making such an institution valuable.
We can we'll afford to help get it. 1t
will be an acquisition worth having
and Cordele is the logical place. Get
ting this institution ought not to be
such a difficult task.

WHY We HAVE STARS AND STRIPES
HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN FLAG

necessary by President Wilson, only
last year.
Not Carried i'm Battle Until 1916.
The history of our flag indicates
that the stars and stripes were not
carried by our troops in battle until
the period of the Mexican war, 1876
-1S47. Several flags of this period
are in the museum collections.
Among them is a flag of thirteen
stars and stripes carried throughout
the war of the battalion of volun-
teers which enlisted from Maryland
and the flag of Company |. Fourth
regiment of Indiana infantry, of
thirteen stripes, with an eagle in the
field. The flags of the collection
pertain to the civil war.
Other flags include some of the
Spanish-American war. a flag owned
by Admiral Charles Wilkes. United
States navy, miniature flag carried
by Capt c. F. Hall in the arctic,
1891 $50; the American colors car
ried by Rear Admiral Peary in his
arctic explorations in 1909; the flag
carried by the Smithsonian African
expedition under the command of
Col. Theodore Roosevelt in 1909
1910; and the numerous examples
of the national ensign which has
flown in so many notable engage
ments and during countless worthy
achievements

WHAT THE WAR
LOAN MEANS TO L. S.

1t could buy 374 of the most mod
ern of superdreadnaughts and have
enough left for torpedo boat de-
stroyers.
1t is more than three times the
total investment of the telephone
companies of the world.
1t is little less than a third of the
entire manufacturing capital of the
United States, given in the 1914 CEN
sus.
1t would pay the public debt of
the states, cities and counties in the
United States more than twice over.
1t is more than four times the
total value of school property of the
United States; eight times the value
of the wheat crop for 1916 and triple
the value of the corn crop.
1t is approximately fourteen times
the value of the production of either
the automobile or the boot and shoe
industry and four times that of the
packing industry.
1t is more than eleven times the
total of last years express charges
of all the companies in the United
States
1t would buy over 100000 of the
most modern all steel Pullman cars.
If it costs as much as $777 a mile
TO travel to the sun you could make
the journey and still afford to pat
roniZe the candy butcher.
If you had the 100000, 900 and
wished to distribute it you could
give each person living in the world
today $50 and still have money left.
The $7,0O0.000.O00 is a half
billion dollars less than the total as
sessed valuations of Iowa. Illinois
and Wisconsin The sum is $1,000
100000 less than the estimated total
cost TO France of the first two years
of the war.

THE PRESIDENTS CALL
FOR VOLUNTEERS

President Wilson has asked that
every man, woman and child in
America assume some responsibility
in connection with the grave war
crisis which now confronts us.
The request is justified and it
should be needed. 1t is only by COM
bined action that we shall bring the
full force and power of the country
to focus on the object We are seek
ing to accomplishing defeat of
Prussianism.
There rs a manifest disposition in
this country to think and believe
that the war will be over in sixty or
ninety days. Many people are pro-
ceeding in their usual course on this
theory. They are, therefore. assum-
ing no responsibility and are max
ing no provision for necessary SER
vice and sacrifice if the struggle shall
continue longer than they anticipate.
This indifferent attitude is Grim
inal in its possibilities. Every citi-
zen should now feel as would faith
full engineer on a limited train RUM
ing at a high rate of speed over
track whose foundations were threat
ened by severe storms. Such an en-
gineer would not for moment think
of taking his hand from the throttle
or his eye from the track over which
he was speeding Every moment of
time he would be thinking of the
precious load of human freight
whose security depended alone upon
the fidelity with which he performed
his duty.
America is embarked now in a
great war Upon the outcome of the
struggle depends as well as the prin
ciples of free government. II is the
privilege of every individual in the
nation to contribute or Withhold sup
port from the common cause. We
can by economy and industry in
crease the volume of supplies avail
able for prosecuting the war. We
can by wanton profligacy or indif-
ference decrease the volume of
supplies which may be used for this
purpose. The supreme need of
America in this hour OF trial is a
gripping sense of responsibility to
God, country and humanity.
Let us put out of our mind the
thought that the war may end in
ninety days Let us be governed in
our sense of responsibility on the
theory that it will last two or three
years longer. We have absolutely
no assurance that the war will de-
termine in the near future. No one
can say with certainty today how eff
fective the support of Russia will be
to the allies in the immediate flu
ture.
