HARDWICK'S ADDRESS
MADE A FINE IMPRESSION

ISOLATION on Return to Georgia.

Says President of National Bar As
ISOLATION on Return to Georgia.
SAVANNAH, Ga.-Judge Peter
W. Meldrim and Maj. w. W. Gordon
have returned from attending the
meeting of the American Bar Asso-
citation. Judge Meldrim reports the
meeting was we'll attended and had
some very interesting lectures rela-
tive and german to the war situation,
one of them being an address by a
member of the bar of Brussels, Bel
GUM.
The address of Senator Thomas w.
Hardwick was well received, Judge
Meldrim. said, and was delivered in
a very lawyer-like fashion. Senator
Hardwick's text was the interstate
commerce clause of the constitution
and he adhered to it closely and did
not have anything to say about the
means being employed for the Euro
pean conflict.

nM MAKING WHISKEY MEN
WILL GO TO TRACTOR PLANT
cries in Peoria, Largest in the World, Closed Down
hiring Period of War. Thousands Out of Work

than making whisky. Distillers saw
the farmers will suffer a dead loss on
this corn.
Labor does not appear to be in any
particular danger as a result of the
shutdown, although more than 1900
men are employed in the distilleries.
Older employees will be retained by
the two distilleries which will con-
tinue to operate, and some may be
kept to look after the upkeep of the
plants that will be closed. Even if
80 per cent of the men EMPLOYED in
the whisky making industry here lose
their jobs there will be room for
them in other big plants here. Com
panies which manufacture farm ma
chinery and tractors are advertising
for men, and concern which has
government contracts for caterpillar
engines is planning extensions which
will absorb every man forced out of
a position by the closing of the dis
tilleries.
Government guagers and store
keepers probably will suffer most
keenly. More than a hundred of them
are employed at the distilleries and
many of these have been in the work
20 years or more. A few are to go
into other branches of government
work, but most of them expect to
seek other jobs or else remain idle
while the distilleries are closed.

CHURCHES OPERATED
NOW LIKE SAWMILLS
WHEN WHISTLE BLOWS ALL
HANDS LAY OFF. TOO BUSY
FLIRTING, SAYS PASTOR.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-That the aver
age modern-day church is being oper-
ated like sawmill whose workmen
lay down their work when the whis-
tie blows, in that the average church
member leaves his religion at the
church when the benediction is pro-
nounced, was the statement last night
of the Rev. John S. Wilder, pastor
of the South Side Baptist church,
during his sermon.
Mr.. Wilder said the church was
flirting with the world and that, in
stead of the church going into the
world, it was bringing the world into
the church; that the young snipes in
the church were about to wreck it
with their worldly wisdom, but know
no more about salvation than mon
key does about christmas.
"Never before in the history of the
world" he said, "has christianity
been tried as she is being tried today.
The whole world is watching with I'M
abated interest the final outcome of
christian principles. 1t is being test
ed and those who profess her teach
ings are being watched as never be-
fore. Every gun of hell has been
turned loose against her and every
member of her glorious body should
look we'll to her interests.
IF the church wasn't of divine orr
gin she would have sunk beneath the
waters of criticism long ago, but
Christ said, the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it, This state
ment alone should enthuse every
member of the church and cause him
to go forward regardless of the
world, the flesh and the devil. Under
this statement there is absolutely no
failure for the church, but there is
a glorious victory finally"

BIG WHEAT YIELD
FROM 9OO-ACRE PLAT
TRACTOR MACHINES HARVEST
IN A DAY GRAIN VALUED AT
NEARLY FOUR MILLIONS.

Wheat enough to furnish bread for
100000 soldiers for one year was
harvested just outside the city of
Sacramento, Cal, a few days ago,
from a piece of land in the Natomas
reclamation district on which, less
than three years ago, the youth of
Sacramento enjoyed the sport Of
spearing and catching fish. The land
from which this crop was taken was
formerly flooded five months of the
year, but was reclaimed by the cree
ton of impregnable levees. The work
cost about 100000 and added 50,-
900 acres of rich sediment to Califor-
MAS productive area. This years
yield of grain is estimated at nearly
$4,000,000.
The crop on the plot near Sacra-
mento was harvested by seven COM
bined machines, operated by great
tractor engines, accompanied by aux
iliaries in the form of oil and water
wagons carrying drink and fuel to
the steel monsters. Fifty tank wag-
ons took away the grain as it pour
ed from the great bins that each har-
vester carried on it's shoulders.
Each harvester cut swath of 35
feet. AS the machines rolled their
way through the golden grain they
moved a pathway 245 feet wide. The
work started at sun-up and before
Al
been gathered and was on its way in
barges down the Sacramento river
to be ground.

U. S. Loses Much Revenue.

The local coal situation may be
relieved by closing of the big plants,
which consume on an average of 100
tons of coal day, most of which is
supplied by local mines.
In money Uncle Sam probably will
be the biggest loser, for he will be
out some $30,000,000 a year in in
ternal revenue taxes. Some idea of
what the distilleries have been pay
ing and the amount of whisky they
have been making may be obtained
from the following revenue figures
for the past five years, ending June
