Those Who Knock Atlanta.

In many sections Of the state it has
become a fixed habit with many to
criticize rather unfairly everything
Atlanta does and does not. Just why
this is so is not very hard to under
stand. Atlanta is no better or worse
than the average American city of its
size. It's population is made up Of
people from all sections of the state,
with good sprinkling of people from
the east and quite few from all
other sections of the United States.
She is hardly a cosmopolitan city,
though she may harbor such ambi-
tons.
But Atlanta is wonderfully sue
cessful city. Whatever she under
takes she usually does, and then tells
about it in loud and thunderous tones
This is a form of advertising that
Helps to put things over, and is not
lad. And herein lies one of the
causes why Atlanta is hammered so
much. There is a certain class of peo-
pie who hate success. The individual,
the business, the town, the city, the
county that makes good invites, the
scorn and imprecations of the envious
ana jealous.
The truth of the business is, At
ianta is progressive city that should
be the pride of all the people of the
state, Her examples of push and
Thrift should be emulated. And this
can all be done without offense or
harm to any other city in the state :

A TIME TO ACT TOGETHER

If Americas has a chance to secure
an aviation camp, the citizens here
should rise unselfshly and unstint
edly to the opportunity.
An aviation camp here would be the
biggest thing that ever came the way
Of Americas.
Il would transform this entire city.
:. would mean as much proportionate-
iy to Americas as the cantonment has
for Macon.
Americas must undoubtedly have
some sort of showing for obtaining
the camp, else the government would
rot be so interested in the several
feasible land sites here
If this possibility exists, it should
be cultivated to the fullest extent
Immediately, unreservedly, whole
heartedly
Personal prejudices, factional diff
ferences, selfish traits, civic sluggish
ness, dissatisfaction these should
be cast aside and buried deep, for the
good of Americas.
So far the proposition has been
handled by a few men-handled "
them because there has been a strange
lack of interest among others who
should have long since bestirrel
themselves.
In addition, obstacles have been
presented in the path of this great
opportunity that should not be there
at all
1t is too much to say that Ameri-
Gus, for a certainty, can get the avia-
ton camp by going after it, but it is
not too much to say that so long as
even a mere possibility of it exists
every possible effort should be exert
ed. Americus should not fail because
of not having properly tried.

THE FOOD LAW IN ACTION.

Some very Illuminating figures
have been compiled by the executive
Office Of the federal food administra-
tor for Georgia, Dr. A. M. Sonic,
showing that food control has saved
to the consumer in Georgia alone, on
one commodity only, more than three
times as much as the entire United
States Food Administration is costing
the government by congressional APP
preparation.
These figures show that while this
saving has accrued to the families of
the state, the farmer has made $500
600 more for his product out of the
same article than he made before this
one article was taken under the food
control regulations.
When flour was selling at retail in
Georgia for $3.50 per barrel the price
of raw wheat was $14O per bushel.
Under government regulation, flour
has been brought to $13 per barrel,
a saving of $3.50 per barrel to the
consumer, and the price of wheat is a
fixed one of $2.20 per bushel.
Figures compiled by the govern
ment show there are 625,00O families
Of the accepted average of five to each
family in Georgia The average con-
sumption of -four per family is four
barrels per annum of total of g.
100000 barrels Of -four in Georgia ca Il
year, The reduction in the price OF
-four to the consumer of $3.50 per
barrel on four barrels year to each
of the 625,O0O families in this state
runs up to $s,75O,OoO saved in Georgia
in one year under food control regu-
lations.
Then, there is another side to the
operation of this system. Before the
government took charge of the wheat
and -four situation the price to the
consumer was governed by speculation
and had already reached $3.50 per
barrel with every indication that 1t
would have gone to any higher figure
SPECTATORS could force it; probably
more than $40. At that time and uu-
der that condition, the farmer was
getting $40 per bushel for his wheat
and he, too, was in the hands of the
Spectator. The government, in the
process of regulating the raw and
finished product, fixed the price Of
wheat at 1920 per bushel. Under the
old system of speculation the farmer.
for the four bushels of wheat in a
barrel of -four, got $3.50; under the
new system Of food control he gets
$50 for the same four bushels Of

A FIGHT TIC THE FINISH.

The American who preached pre-
paredness when the word was hardly
understood, and when it brought him
into official disfavor and public sus>
picion of being a crank, is General
Leonard Wood :.
1t is probably not too much to say
that but for politics, General Wood
would right now be occupying a more
commanding position than he does
he would probably be directing some
Of the operations in France. instead
of supervising a middle west cam
tonment.
However, the people of the country
are familiar now with the fact that
General Wood was ahead of his time,
and whatever may be his message
on matters military it is received with
the closest attention and confidence.
At the very outbreak of this con-
flict, General Wood declared that it
would ge at least a three or four
years war, and might possibly last
even longer. Now he states that event
ually the war will be shifted almost
entirely to fight to the finish between
the United States and Germany. These
solemn words of prophecy ought to
stir every latent drop of patriotic
blood in the veins of all Americans,
as well as more thoroughly arouse
them to finer appreciation of the
tremendous seriousness of our position
in the war General Wood says:
1T is mere camouhage to re-
tard our entry into the war until
time when our allies cannot pro-
tect us as they do today, and
when we shall have to bear the
bulk of the burden ourselves.
1--WE are now preparing to do

should do a generation ago. For
tunately, We are preparing behind

to protect us while we prepare.

WILLIAM 5. HART'S
 GREATEST PICTURE
THE AYRlAN," AT THE PRINCESS TODAY, WITH HART. BESSIE
 LOVE AND LOUISE eLAUM.

Ordinarily the name of William S. Hart, the greatest western screen character, is sufficient to pack any theater but today he comes to the Princess with Bessie Love and Louise Glaum, three of the greates, stars ever presented in one picture.
 The Ayrian" is the title ot this big production, which is witho a dolbt Hart's most powerful picture.
 All three Of these players have been playing star parts for many months. and all have an international reputa- ton. When they were cast for The Ayfian, it Was at once predicted that this would be one Of the biggest pie lures ever produced. The tore, a.ter iroved himself a good prophet for it is really HArts greatest western mas terpiece
 In the first place, Hart appears as an outlaw-something of a gentleman outlaw-but badly wanted by the au- horities In lis comba,s with the representatives of law and order he g wounded and left starving iu the desert Here is where the heroine comes in. She provides .ood and wa ter for the outlaw. and finally giyes him shel CT from the law Incidental ly the outlaw becomes enamored ot the girl and she induces him to for sake his evil ways and be ome a good citizen, which he does
 Ear a fffoa tho or{rt is T,a ay.r,tr hut she loses the man again He again becomes an outlaw and an outcast. The reason for this and his change from good citizen To an outlaw is one of the finest parts of this picture. When he becomes outlawed the sec ond time he becomes one of the mos vicious If his type. a real daredevil a master of crime, and e postmaster at eyading the laN.
 The Ayrian" is another proof of tue old proverb whats born in a man is always in him
 This is, nor @ vicious or a brutal picture, however, it is a most splendid story presented in the finest style Of screen production, and everyone, young and old, will ike it.
 Hart comes in for some of his ines work as a horseman and gun man, while both Bessie Love and Lou ise Glaum nave strong parts
 There will be an extra comedy on the same program.

of explosives from Juneau was in cluded in the loot
 Some days ago the United States marshal's office at Juneau investigat- ed the local gun stores At. one place in Juneau an army revolver and several rounds of ammunition were found. The dealer very promptly gave the officials all the data neces- sary to trace the sale to a corporal from Fort Seward then in Juneau. The commanding officer was immedi- ately advised by wire, and an fnvesti- gation disclosed an inner circle of I. ". W. workers in the army barracks.
 It is believed that part of the ex- plosives shipped from Juneau have not been located, and that there was a plot on the part of the l. W. W's to desert and blow up important mills
