the smell Of dead winter. 1t is the

The first and sweetest sound of
spring, of course, is the song of
the Hylas, those little sappers and
miners of the advance guard who
attack through the marshes, or
even through the melted snow
water in the grassy hollows beside
a country road. = The

Though snowdrifts yet linger
under the evergreens and in north
ward shelters, the footing is firm
over the lawn. and the woods call.
You cross fields that are bare of
snow, the brown and palest straw
color of dead weeds and grasses,
and enter the woods on the first
slope of the mountain. What an
exquisite world it is! The birches
shine white, as if new-washed by
winter. The chestnuts are gray,
the poplars have yellow tinge.
The forest floor, lying plain to
view now, with no shadowing fol-
iage. is a brown and gray carpet,
almost silvery in texture here and
there, for dead leaves under rec
emily melted snowdrift often seem
to bear a film of gray mold. The
interesting branches overhead
make an exquisite tracery against
the sky, and dapple the ground
with delicate shadows. Many
plants, too, especially the peren-
NAL ferns, have come through the
winter green and fresh, so that it
almost appears as if some garden
err had been here already. getting
his first spring planting done. But
the greatest charm of the woods
on this bright morning is the
water. Just on this day, perhaps,
can you see it. Yesterday the
melting process was too slow. To-
morrow the run will be over. But,
for this once, those lingering
white drifts you see up the slope,
under a protecting boulder or in
the shadow of the evergreens, are
pouring down little brooks of
dancing quicksilver over the for
est floor. They follow no worn
channels; they flow not to rule OF
boundary. Over the brown leaves
they come. by any little hollow, ir'
responsible, twinkling, with the
softest of FLASHING sounds as one
of them jumps over fern-coveret
rock or the root of an aged chest

HOW AND WHEN 1T STARTED.

The war did not start when this
half-crazed Serbian youth fired the
shot that killed the Austrian arcb-
duke-the shot that was heard round
the world, and is still reverberating
1t did not start when Russia refused
to demobilize nor when Germany vio-
lated Belgium's neutrality and march
ed across and over that little nation.
The war had its inception forty
seven years ago, and it actually began
twenty-five years ago. For it was in
1860 that the astute brain of the
wonderful Bismarck conceived the
IDEAS that would lift Germany to first
rank among the nations, and it was in
1892 that Kaiser Wilhelm formulated
his plans for world dominion.
In a most illuminating article in
The Chicago Banker" Newell Dwight
Hills discusses the true origin of the
European war, reciting only such facts
as are generally known, but presenting
them in condensed and comprehen-
sive form that is lucid and conyinc-
ing.
Al the imperial palace at Potsdam in
1892 the German emperor submitted to
his confidential advisers a document
in which The Pan-German Empire
was outlined, with boundaries extend
ing from the North Sea to the Persian
Gulf. From that very minute Ger
many began war 1t sent spies into

Dewey related in his memoirs?

Gerard, when this war is finished |

A Fine THANKSGIVING.

reason for Thanksgiving this year.
Besides a fair crop of cotton and 4
bumper crop of corn, velvet beans
peanuts, pecans, potatoes and pigs
we are now beginning to grind about
the best cane crop that we have ever
had. And that too, right when there
is about to be a sugar famine. A
barrel of long sweetnin' cooked to
grain and hung up in a tsrong bag
to drip, will keep the bug-a-boo away
from our Grady county farms for

A THANKSGIVING FAST

A day of fast, instead of feasting,
may be urged upon the nation by
President Wilson, a. the suggestion
of Food Controller Hoover.
The President will shortly issue his
annual Thanksgiving proclamation
and until it is announced it is not
known whether this idea will be ex-
polited or not
For that matter, the distinguishing
feature of Thanksgiving originally was
fasting, and it remained for the Pill
grims to inaugurate the custom Of
heaping the table with more than can
be eaten.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are
two occasions when a reckless eN-
travagance in food is INDUCED, bat
this year, in the practise of food con-
servation and war economies, the
menu will probably be reduced to
considerable extent.
Thanksgiving is now substantially
harvest festival, fixed by proclamation
OF the President and the Governors of
the states. and ranks as legal holi-
day. It's primary purpose is that it
shall be a festival of thanksgiving for
the mercies of the closing year.
In 1889 the Episcopal church formal
Is recognized the civil governments
authority to appoint such a feast, and
in 1888 the Roman Catholic church
also decided to honor a festival that
had long been nearly universally OBJ
served
The Pilgrims had the first Thanks
giving in this country in 1921, and
the custom was then only locally and
inetrmittently followed. Congress
recommended days Of thanksgiving
during the Revolution, and in 1884 for
the return of peace-as did President
Madison in 1915 Washington ap-
pointed such a day in 1889, after the
adoption of the Constitution, and in
1895 for the general benefits and well,
fare of the nation. Since 1917, the
festival has been observed annually in
New York, and since 1868, the Presi-.
dents without variation have designat-
ed the last Thursday in November for
the holiday.
The United States may give thanks
this year for an era of unprecedented
prosperity, and we should feel CRATE
full also that the war has not imposed
the hardships on us that other ma
tons are enduring There is much to
regret, but even more for which to
be truly thankful

ARE YOU A STACKER?

The citizen who shirks military du-
ty is not the only Stacker
There are at least two other kinds
of slackers.
One is the man whose money is
needed to assist the government in Il
nanclng the war, and who keeps it
selfshly to himself
The other is the person, man or VIC
man, who is extravagant in the use of
food, at time when every such re-
source should be rigidly conserved.
The special significance of the word
Stacker" is of recent English origin.
Webster says it means one who is re-
miss in the performance of service or
duty. But now it means more than
that-there is shade of contempt, Of
opprobrium, of shame, attached to it
that makes it an epithet.
There are several words in the En-
glish language that one ought to be
slow in applying, and Stacker is one
Of them
But the truth is, there are so many
slackers in this country that it is diff
cult to refrain from giving vent to the
expression
The military Stacker is in the min
ority The appeal to the manhood of
, the country has not been in vain.
From the cities and from the farms
the young men have responded and
while occasionally there is laggard
in the draft he is not for long. For in
every self-respecting community, the
Stacker becomes as one tainted and
unclean, pariah among patriots,
thing to be despised.
Equally deserving of public con-
tumely are those other types of slack.
, ers-and that there are some nobody
can deny.
The government has employed the
bonding system as the best means Of
financing the war. United States treas
ury bonds are now probably the safest
investment in the world Those that
do not bear taxes cannot be excelled.
So when one buys Liberty Bonds he
does not make draft on his charity
or philanthropy. He is simply doing
his duty, and it is the duty of every
man with the money at his command
to help his nation in its hour of need
by assisting in taking up this bond
issue. The man who can and doesn't
is Stacker, just as certainly as the
man who seeks to evade the military
service for which he is liable
The other class of slackers is more
numerous-and the pity of it is that
they do not realize they are siackers.
1t will take men, money and food to
win this whr-food alone will control
In the end, says Herbert Hoover. In
consequence there must be strict
conservation of foodstuffs, of food for
man and food for beast To feed the
armies who are battling to make the
world safe for Democracy is going to
