ONE MAN TO CONTROL
ALL WAR PURCHASES

Washington, May 23-Plans for an
allied. purchasing board are being
drawn to include purchases for the
American army and navy, estimated
at $3,50o,0Oo,0Oo for the first year of
war. The plan as tentatively outlined,
would place purchasing power of
approximately $l0O00OOO,OO0 a year
in the hands of single commission.
Indications are that that this ire
mendous purchasing power will be
vested in one man who will have I'M
der his command an army of trained
experts familiar with all American
markets. The program has progress
ed to stage where officials have in
mind the man for the place.
Determination to include the needs
OF the American army and navy in the
centralized purchasing board has viz
tually been agreed upon and the num-
erous details are in process of formu-
latlon. 1t is understood that the pro-
gram calls for purchase of arms,
equipment, munitions and all material
used in the physical waging of war
by experts of the navy and war de-
partemnts, rather than by civilians,
and that activities by the wishes of
the secretaries of the navy and war,
subject, however, to the approval f.
nally of the commission.
All the allies will be included in the
scope of the commission, including
Japan. The international agreement
to make the program effective has not
yet been concluded, but probably will
be ready soon for the signatures of
the various ambassadors.
New legislation may be sought to
vest the commission with powers not
conferred by present laws.

NO NOISY CELEBRATION OF
THE FOURTH THIS YEAR

Atlanta, May 25.-There will be
little if any noisy fireworks in cele-
bratlon of the next fourth of July, and
the kids will be asked to forego their
pleasure out of patriotic motives.
Many cities, including Atlanta, are
planning already to put the ban on
fireworks, figuring that it is poor pa
trlotism to burn UP gunpowder for fun
when the government needs all it can
get for the conduct of the war.
The boys will be asked to take the
money they would ordinarily spend
tor fireworks and invest in garden
seed and celebrate the day in a prac
teal maner by working with the hoe,
at least during the forenoon if not
throughout the entire day.

THE FOOD PROBLEM
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia

Ii we are to solve the present food
problem satisfactorily, We must first

to produce in the average garden and
farm in order to provide the foods
needed by. let US say, family of

definite amount OF fuel, suitable pro.
portion of protein, ash we'll repre-.

In the crisis that this country faces
in the matter of food supplies. the
farmers of Georgia should make every
effort to increase the food supplies
Of the state and to at least grow all
foods that have been shipped into the
state from other states.
This can be done by increasing the
total acreage Of food crops and by
increasing the yields per acre on
that land already planted. To in
crease the yields per acre will neces-
state a very intense system OF plant
ing, fertilizing and cultivation, and
will not be sufficient to produce the
needed increase. An increased acre
age can be made on every farm in
Georgia by using that land that is
now considered as waste land Some
Of the railroad companies are furnish
ing their employees with seed and
giving them the use of the right-of
way along the tracks for planting in
order that they may do as much as
they can to relieve the demand 1or
food. In this state thousands of acres
Of land that is cleared, but not farmed
can be used to advantage and plant
ed to corn, peas, beans, tomatoes and
other crops that will furnish food
which has heretofore been imported
from other states. Conservation
should be made not only Of the food
crops, but Of all land that can re used
to produce food crops. Increase the
yield on that land already in cultiva-
ton by better preparation and cul.
tivation, and by the rational use OF
manure and fertilizers. Keep up the
legumes. Stop the waste Of land and
increase the food crops on the farm,

ATLANTA FIRE HAD ITS
AMUSING INCIDENTS

Atlanta, Ga, May 25.-Atlanta
would like for her neighbors to un-
derstand that she was not nearly so
hard hit by the recent fire as a great
many people outside OF the city seem
to think. A very large strip of ter
rltory was burned to the ground, it
is true. but in comparison with the
citys total area it was very small.
A considerable portion of the burned
area, probably third, was a negro
section composed of small, CHEAP
houses. The white section burned
was composed almost entirely of
homes owned by occupants who car
ried insurance, Emergency relief is
being splendidly handled by the local
Red Cross. For permanent rehabili-
tation OF families burned out, with no
insurance, there is an ample fund.
From this analysis of the general
situation it will be seen that the fire
was III no sense calamity, although
it was Jolt in the jaw which Allan
ia wasn't looking for" as one of Ro-
tartan has expressed it.
Many amusing incidents have come
out of the fire. showing the peculiar
conduct of people under the stress OF
excitement.
AN old lady, for instance, came
rushing out of an apartment with a
weli-worn corset under one arm and
a silk American flag under the other.
She never stopped running till she
got to Piedmont Park.
A weh-known Albanian was away
from home when the fire struck his
house. Two friends in an automobile
were passing before the fire reached
him' They stopped, broke open the
door, took out the furniture and haul
ed 1t away, making several trips.
