The following from the Oregon Jour

edition of the Stanfield Standard

almost exclusively to Stanfields rec
ord as a business man and legislator
In the paper is an article to the effect
that Stanfield is being urged by his
friends to cast his hat in the ring
for one of the two biz offices to be
filled at the next general election.
Ever since the last legislative SEES
sion it has been matter of common
gossip in political circles that Robert
y. Stanfield would be candidate for

he has two strings to his bow and that
he may aspire to be United States
senator rather than governor will oc-
casion surprise. For it Is obvious that
the two big Offices to be filled next
year are the offices of senator and gov

The people will also elect a state
treasurer but the office is compare

Stanfield is reputed to have made an
immense fortune in the sheep business.

spend money freely in pressing his
claims for party recognition. The mat

A Colorado farm boy has Offered
these suggestions to parents who
want to keep their boys and girls on
the farm:
Get good books, magazines and
farm papers for the young people to

Go with them to church every
Sunday.
Arrange it so they can have one
or more picnics every year.
Teach them to do all kinds Of

is GEORGIA DOING HER PART?

The writer had OCCASION recently
to interview prominent officer Of
the Regular Army and when lie
asked this officer what kind OF SOL
diers the Georgia boys made, his
reply was They are a little slow to
catch on at first but when they do
learn they make the best soldiers in
the United States Army. In view
of these facts as stated by this Reg
ular officer and of the large number
of promotions which are bound TO
come ia the Regular Army very
soon should not our Georgia boys
do more than their part in enlisting
now ahead of men from other states
so as to catch on and be ready for
the chevrons and shoulder straps.
It has come to the writer's atten-
ton that many older men Of mill
tary age that they should put off
enlisting until they could see where
they stood with reference to the
conscriptlon law. Never was more
foolhardy advise given. These very
men stand. today1in the position of
denying to Georgians the privilege
Of promotion, and to their Govern
ment the service of men who make
the best soldiers in the us Army.
Luckily Georgians yet have the
chance to volunteer and to get into
the Regular Army and yet to secure
their llaining ahead Of a great many
men who must come into the Army
later.
Thirty five thousand men is what
Georgia must furnish for Regulars,
Reserves and other units, and each
man volunteering now is credited
to that quota. Regulars are being
trained now to be used in differing
and training the big conscript Ar
my.
The privilege of entering the Reg
uIars is still open but Georgias quo
ia for Regulars is now less than
1000 and it is strictly a case of first
come first served.
Can you afford to neglect this
chance? The delay of a single day
may mean to you the difference in
promotion between an officer and a
private. Let Georgians enlist now

Atlanta, May 23-Atlauta is do

gigantic task the city has ever faced.
With characteristic grace and pride,
the city has buckled down to meet

least possible display and minini2-

world Of it being done have hardly
been touched upon. The suffering
has been trutffully laid bare to the
world, but, by some seeming act Of
Providence, there has been less of
that than an exuleran! outsider
would believe.
