ACTS THAT SHOULD BE PUNISHED

There is much talk among the begerent nations as to
the matter of peace without annexation or indemnity
While 1T is useless to discuss that question now while
peace in the remote distance there is subject closely
allied to it that should not be overlooked when peace at
last comes. There should be peace without punish

responsible for the sinking of the Lsitana whether it be
the head of the German admiralty or that of the German
empire should be tried and punished for the crime The
sailors who did the torpedong are in sense guitless
for they only obeyed orders and would have paid for their
dlsobedience with their lives had they refused Those
responsible for the sinking Of every other vessel without

should stand trial bfore international court organ
lied for the purpose, charge Of murder Those
responsible for the treatment of the Begans should be
punished for it. and the vandas who deliberately chopped
down the orchards of France desecrated graves and

The New Middle Man.

Time was when farmers sought to
eliminate the go-between dealers in
both agricultural implements and
farm produce. This was the period
in which oranges" flourished and
the farmers slogan was down with
the middle-man." Direct trade be-
tween dealers and growers was at
tempted but without the invariable
advantages expected. One promi-
nent Cobb County farmer opened a
farmers alliance store" in a neigh
boring county, as a mutual friend
of both rural and urban dealers and
producers. He surely helped his
farming friends but the ultimate re-
suits to his own financial standing
proved disastrous. This country mer-
chant was a philanthropist, warm
hearted Christian gentleman who
loved his fellow men not wisely but
too well and suffered the conse-
quences.
Cooperation is one of the most
powerful forces known to the world.

The announcement in this issue of
a marketing service by the N. C. &
st. L. Railroad explains itself.
The railroad, to be sure, expects to
profit by the increase of business re-
sulting from improved conditions of
the trade. Both buyers and sellers
can be mutually helped if both will
keep constantly in touch with their
mutual friend the railroad.

for effective achievement upon con-
stancy and intelligence. Know your

Glass Jars For Canning

At present prices, glass jars are
more economical for canning than
tin, for the jars may be used over
and over again. The department of
agriculture is urging that jars be
used, and indications are that there
will be plenty of them on the mar
ket. The department canning spe-
cialists say that fruit for use in pies
or salads, or as stewed fruit, may be
canned without the use of sugar Any
fruit, they say, may be successfully
sterilized and retained in the pack
by simply adding boiling water in
stead of the hot syrup. This is the
method the department recommends
for home use:
"Can the fruit the same day it is
picked. Gull, stem or seed, then
clean the fruit by placing it in a
strainer and pouring water over it
until it is clean. Pack it thoroughly
in the jars or cans until they are full.
Pour over it boiling water from a
kettle, place rubber and caps or par
TALLY seal if jars are used. If tin cans
are used, seal completely. Place the
jars or cans in a sterilizing vat, such
as a wash boiler with a false bottom,
or other receptacle improvised for
the purpose. Process for 80 minute;
count time after the water has reach
ed the boiling point; the water must
cover the highest jar in the contain
er. After sterilizing, remove the
jars, seal them, wrap in paper to
prevent bleaching and store in a cool

A Road Letter
Smyrna, Ga, May Ia, 1917

Smyrna, Ga, May Ia, 1917.
Dear Editor:
Will you please spare enough
space for this little item? l think
it ought to interest some people at
least.
Do the roads in Cobb County get
their share of work which they ought
to get, or do some roads get it all.
In this district there are some
parts of roads that have not been
touched in going on FOUR years.
Now it seems to me that's long
enough. It's shame to have to
drive over such roads as we have.
They are r. F. D. routes, too. When
such men get in and do such slack
business, say lets put them out. Tax
payers will you help in this good road
cause?
If the Grand Jury don't order them
fixed they have not done their duty.
All ask rs just go over them and
see II l am right. If | am not right,
l have no more to say.
| can name several people that
have done work on these roads as
well as myself since the county has
done lick. When worked by free
labor these roads were worked twice
a year. tell you we had good roads
too Isn't going on to four years
long enough?
How about it, Road Commission
ers?

Unfair Burdens on News
papers.

The Macon News, commenting on
the war tax, upon newspapers, says
in the course of an editorial on the
subject:
"The newspapers of the country do
not need, at this late day to give
evidence that they are as patriotic
as any other business enterprise.
They are perfectly willing to submit
to any tax upon their net profits,
practically to the point of waving
such profits altogether for the peri
cd of the war, if it should be neces-
sary. 1t is not question of patriot
ism on the one hand or of self-in-
terest on the other. 1t resolves itself
into the purely business question o
fighting for existence.
Any tax which is so drastic as to
dry up the very source of income by
running the enterprise out of bust
ness is vicious and indefensible on its
face.
Newspaper publishers must be al
lowed to carry on their business as
economically as possible during the
war period as well as at other times,
and then, if by prudence and thrift
they are able to make net profit
let the government lay a tax upon it
as heavy as the exigencies of the oc-
casion may demand, 1t would be
suicidal to drive them to the wall
by trying to wiring from them a rate
which the business will not bear and
in the end the government would be
the loser.
In this connection it should not be
forgotten that the newspapers are
now contributing hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth, of space to
the government every day in calling
for recruits, mobilizing The industrial
and agricultural resources of the
country and in giving publicity to
the various orders and regulations
issued by the department at Washing
ton.
Since a newspaper has nothing to
sell but its space, this service to the
government is as absolute a contribu-
ton as if newspapers gave the money
out of their own pockets. When
Great Britain was going through the
same crisis, the government appro-
priated vast sums to be used in buy
ing space in the newspapers. The
question is being raised rather in
why it should be different
in this country.
These are few, but by no means
all the reasons why the newspapers,
already under heavier burden than
almost and other business because of +,
the increased cost of raw materials,
should not be taxed out of existence
before they have a chance to show
a profit"

Rice birds are in the wheat fields
now and should be trapped for food.
1t is bad form to be sure to complain
of these dear little brown winged
birds" and 'littIe feathered brethren
of the air." but real farmers insist
that the best of birds dc eat fruit
and berries and wicked jays and
crows do pull up corn. One Marietta
farmer of long experience has recent
ly cut down some fine cherry trees
because he said he could not afford
to feed birds on cherries. European
farmers protect their fruit from
birds by enclosing the trees in nets.
Cherries are surely worth protect
ing.

Avoid Hysteria in Preparing for War
Engineering and Mining JournaD

by postponing unnecessary work has
been misunderstood and has led to the
closing of factories and the curtail-

Outstanding and the ill-advised policy
that has been instituted in some quar-
tiers, on account of it, are deplored in
a statement that was issued on April
20 by Howard e. Coffin, of the ad-
visory council of national defense.
Mr. Coffin. having just returned from
a tour through the central states,
found developing certain conditions of
unemployment, arising from such
thoughtless attempts to effect public
and private economies that he was
inspired to issue a warning to the ma :
ton against such hysteria. Mr.. Cof-
fin used the following words:
After nearly three years of refusal
to take the European war and its les
son seriously we suddenly launched
forth in most feversh activity to
save the country overnight. Patriotic
organizations, almost without number,
are moiling around noisily, and while
intentions are good the results are Of
ten far from practical. Because of an
impending and possible shortage of
foodstuffs, we have hysterical de-
mands for economy in every line of
human endeavor. Waste is bad, but
an undiscriminating economy is worse,
Some states and municipalities are

lie work. General business Is being
slowed down because of the emotional
response of the trading public to these

have begun to hoard food supplies and
