a BLOW TO THE GAMBLER.

i Food experts report from the Uni
i ted States in February were reducet
about one-third by Germany's sub
marine campaign. Figures compiled
by the department of commerce show
that shipments fell from $105, 100000
in January to $67OO0,OO0 in February
Shipments of all kinds dropped dur
ing the month from $613,50O,000 IL
$4e6, 100000.
This is q drop OF one hundred and
forty-seven million dollars in exports
for one month. 1t may be blow to
our commercial pride that the little
German submarine has tied out the
commerce of the country in just this
manner, but it is taking the romance
out of the gamblers schemes.
This country has been raked of its
food supplies for Europe many months.
The opportunist has played heavily
In our markets in order to twist his
fortunes out of the countries at war.
He knows all Europe is non-support-
ing now so far as food supply is con-
cerned. and he has piled up every.
thing on the wharves in our eastern
ports. He has congested traffic with
this movement of goods, has stolen our
freight cars and has practically mo-
nopoliaed traffic on the great eastern
lines hurrying his goods to port while
the demand is great.
And now comes the little underwa-
ter craft to break the food products
gambler while his goods bank up for
where there are no ships. 1t
hurts our pride that we have been
driven from the seas. but, it must also
be hurting the moneyed interests that
have staked everything on being able
to deliver the goods to Europe. Watch
the air get out of some Of the balloons,
Watch the rockets return to earth.
There will be cheaper living on this
side OF the earth within few months.

HOW TO HELP EACH OTHER.

Cordele is proving that it pays fol-
country and town to work together for
mutual progress Mayor J. Gordon
Jones of the rapidly growing county
seat of Crisp told the Rotary Club yes
terday how Cordele went to work to
be of service to the farmers of her
back country and so to serve herself.
OF first interest was what he said
about the home market club idea, and
how it works at Cordele, where 1t was
given it's first practical test in Geor-
gia. The club is merely means
of finding a market for various pro-
ducts of the farms round about and
putting the farmers in touch with it..
Sometimes the Cordele Hub had to
create a market out of what seemed
to be merely thin air. Whatever the
farmer had to sell was bought. He
was told to go ahead and diversity his
crops, get away from the all cotton
plan, and there would be purchasers
waiting for his crops when harvest
time came around. And the club
made it's promises good. It is helping
the farmer to fight the boil weevil,
helping Crisp county to live at home"
and it is setting an example that every
other city and town in Georgia ought
to follow if already it has not caught
step with Cordele.
some men still cling to the
old ideas that the country and the town
can get along very we'll without each
other, that they really are not part
ners but competitors. Cordele and
Crisp county are profting by working
together. A fine back country is the
best asset a city can have; and grow
| ing city with a ready market for all
sorts of farm products is the best asset
farming country can have. Mayor
| Jones said that of the broad and idle
acres between his city and Savannah
not more than % per cent. is under
| cultivation. What room there is in
this strip Of Georgia for scores OF thou
sands of farming families! What
future must be coming to Georgia
when she is able to offer such great
expanses Of land at low prices in fine
climate and capable of producing al
most infinite variety of crops!
One thing about Cordele's progress
siveness is that she did not wait for
advice from somewhere else, and did
not seek capital for her project from
New York or some other place beyond
the borders Of Georgia, but found right
at home the initiative and the capital
she needed for her purposes. Also
she is finding that out of the Original
service of the little group OF men who
organized the market club have
grown opportunities for a far greater
variety Of service, involving mucf
more capital. There is no necessity
for Georgia towns and cities to wall
| for help from far away. There is
money enough here in Georgia to bring
Into being hundreds Of new industries
large and small, within the course Of

LAST OF METHODIST REVIVAL
SERVICES BEING HELD TO-DAY

Dr. Chas. Lane will preach his clos
ing sermon of the Methodist revival

leave this afternoon to open a revival

MONARCH IS PASSING.

A new order of things is breaking
In Russia. 1t is an order that is not
to stop at the unfrocking of single
monarch. Kings with absolute power
are no longer necessary among civil
lied nations and when the end Of the
present conflict comes it will bring
with it republican forms of government
for all the powerful nations that are
now under absolute one-man rule.
The New World was doubtless una
ware of the nearness Of Russia to re-
publican government, and the entire
civilized world is amazed at the ap-
parent ease with which the change is
being made. The armies Of the EN-
pire of the Gear" are driving at the
Teutonic enemy with great force at
the same time they are establishing
the new form of government. With
but little bloodshed one Of the great
est changes Is enveloping internal Rus
STA. Tolerance and the right to gov
ern themselves come to q people at a
much greater cost in the lives Of its
men. This must have been the time
Of all times for the change in Russia.
The new minister of Justice, A. F.
Kerensky, in a statement furnished
the Associated Press, says:
II am a republican, and think know
what kind of government Russia
wants but, as member Of the gov
eminent will not try to bring any
pressure upon the popular opinion
which win render the decision. The
keynote Of the new government will
be tolerance toward all. The members
Of the old government who are under
arrest will be given a regular trial.
Dispatches coming to us from Rus
sla say that all the members Of the
former Russian dynasty have placed
themselves at the disposition of the
new government. Get your map and
leok what vast territory passes to
republican rule. Historians will re
cord this as one of the greatest &C
complishments for free government
of the century.
Great leaders for the Entente Allies
declare that the European conflict
shall not cease until Germany has sur
rendered its government into the hands
of its people. If this should occur
conflicts like that now raging could
not be brought on so easily

MARKETING THE HOGS.

More than ten cars of hogs have
gone out OF the local market of late
to the packing houses. Now and Their
some one shakes his head and express
es the fear that we will sell clean
out, lock, stock and barrel. Please dc
not let any one worry. We have some
farmers who know what ten and elev.
en- cents per pound on foot means. Our
boil weeyils-to-be will all turn to
hogs with the next six months if the
spring fever doesn't break out in the
ranks of the live ones.
There are more hogs in this coun-
ty, by two to three, and may be. four
times, than were here two years ago.
The next year will make 1t possible
for our stock raisers to ship hundred
cars where they now ship ten.
You don't have to tell business
manor rather a man with real bus
mess sense-that it is easier to make
money raising hogs on a market like
that prevailing now than it is to make
it out of cotton, even no chances had
to be taken with the weevil. We will
have more hogs to go to market and
we will not have to stint our own ra'
ton to do it.
