NO NEED FOR 1T in GEORGIA.

The Times-Recorder does not know
Of a single newspaper in Georgia that
will be affected by provisions of the
Trading With the Enemy law which
is now operative
When CONSUMPTION first went into eff
feet, there were a number Of syco-
phantic supporters of Watson among
the weekly press that mouthed his
mumblings and derided this system of
securing an army.
But the turn of the tide of public
opinion in favor Of the selective draft
act, the silencing of Watson, the gem
eral disapproval of all utterances call
culated to reflect on essential govern
mental policies, have all had the eff
feet of hushing these little howlers
Georgia now seems to be free of disaf-
lection entirely among its newspapers,
and certain it is now that if any
should attempt to proceed along a
path not in strict accord with patriotic
ideas this Trading With The Enc
my law, law with teeth in it, will
clamp down upon them
The law may be invoked in other
states, where seditious journals are
still being published, but it is to the
credit of this state that it will not be
required here.

SEVEN REASONS FOR BUYING
BONDS.
A LoAN-You lend your money

1. A LOAN-You lend your money
at interest, you do not give it.
2. EASY PAYMENTs-A few dol
lars down buys bond. Bankers and
employers everywhere arrange pay
ment of balance out Of savings.
3. SUPERLATIVE SAFETY. The
promise to give you your money back
a promise signed by all our 100000
OO0 people, including the signature of
every multi-millionaire in America
Your bond is like a mortgage on the
whole United States.
T. SAFE KEEPING - Absolutely
safe in any honest bankers vault,
safer anywhere than currency, for it
is plainly receipt for money you
have deposited in the Treasury of tn
United States.
5. TAX FREE-No tax as long as
you live on any purchase not above
$4,000.
6. MARKET VALUE-You can sell
your bond, or borrow on it, on a
moments notice

RICHER Than the people 1t needs

Not In The Same Family.

The fellow who kicks because his

The twenty-seven dollar hat and the
pair of twins may be comparable as
financial embarrassments. but they
are troubles that never come upon the
same father. The husband who is
constantly paying for forty dollar net
evening dresses and twenty-seven dol

twins And the Pa that wrestles with
twins in the home is seldom called on
for more than little velvet or ribbon

MARKETS FOR THE FARMERS.

Gradually, there is being created
in various parts of the state steady
market for farm products.
Warehouses are being established
in more than a score of smaller towns
and now the larger cities are affording
the farmers an opportunity of dispos-
ing of their products.
Savannah is conspicuous in this re-
spect by advertising to the world
the list of firms which are in the mar
ket for the things the farmers have
to sell
The Savannah Board Of Trade has
issued, and is circulating, a pamph-
let called "The Farmers Selling
Guide It gives a complete list of
Savannah buyers of farm products
These buyers want eggs, poultry, can
ned goods, peanuts, velvet beans, peas,
sweet and Irish potatoes, fruits, corn,
oats, sorghum seed, sunhower seed,
cattle, sheep, swine, honey, wax, hides
and fur, perishable vegetables, hay,
grain and velvet bean meal, syrup and
molasses. Full directions for shipping
are also given, Particularly are the
buyers going after home-canned goods,
for which there is now an increasing
popular demand
When the farmers were first urged
to diversity, they responded to con
siderable extent, but many became dis
couraged when they were unable to
dispose of what they had raised. Now,
however. there is no need for them to
hesitate. The merchants of Americas.
for instance, are in the market for
practically everything listed by the Sa-
yannah Board of Trade, and pay the
same market prices.
The creation Of these markets is just
one more way Of bringing about an
emancipation from the one-crop slav>
cry system. The farmer can now raise
crops all the year round, with the
certainty that he viii be able to sell
them. Even those who raise to pro-
vide themselves often have a surplus,
for which they can find a prompt mar
ket demand AS for chickens and eggs,
there is no excuse for any man with a
space for a barnyard not to make pin,
money for himself, or even a substan-
tial profit
Savannah is setting a pace that other
cities will not be slow to follow, ana
!, that, for that matter, stimulate this
merchants in the smaller towns alone

Itheir own community.

A HERO IN GERMANY.

Man Who Found Without
Seeking.

Three men set forth in search of
Truth. The first said II will go to
seek it in the wisdom of others. There,
if anywhere, is it to be found" So
he ensconced himself in the alcoves
of great library and began to pore
over the tones of all the sages in all
centuries. Years and years he delved
thus. One day, an old man, he alb
ruptly closed the volumes spread
about him. "They all contradict each
other" said he. "There is no such
thing as Truth" The second man had
said: "It is not in books but in the
lives of my fellow men that / shall
find Truth" So he went forth for
the quest, through all the marts and
byways of mankind. In few years
he returned wearing the cynic's sneer.
The third man had hesitated. Said
he Before i go to seek Truth, I
fancy it will be well that / should
try to practice it myself" And in
that endeavor he became so absorbed
that he postponed his great quest,
year after year, all his life long. AS

Wants Land Tax.

Assemblyman Roy M Robinson has
been getting his name in papers re-
Gently quite lot, principally because
of his legislative activities. =
His latest device for catching pub
lie attention, however, is one that Is
likely to give him more than ordin-
airy publicity. He AYERS that there is
need for tax reforms in New Jersey,
which is a sensible statement. No
state anywhere needs tax reforms
more than New Jersey, and while
Representative Robinson may be bit
radical so far as tax on land is con-
cerned, at the same time, some very
progressive men in this state are
heartily in favor of taking the burden
off of homes and placing taxes where
they no doubt belong. If unused lands
paid tax on just basis, homes would
be relieved of great burden. The
present law makes a man pay a
penalty for improving his home. I'm
improved land pays the lowest form
of taxation. The man who builds
himself a home and thus contributes
something towards the welfare of the
state, not only pays the largest per
centage of the taxes, but it amounts
to a penalty for enterprise.
Elsewhere in this issue is news
item giving Representative Robin
sons views on his ideals of taxes and
shows clearly the great demand for
some kind of tax reform. This i'm
mediate neighborhood has long been
burdened with excessive taxes, and
few sections of New Jersey have more
vacant land.

Whites Tribute To Funston.

about thirty years ago, when the boys
were students-or just graduates-at

Emporia Gazette the day after Fun
ston's death:
He died listening to music-to the
sweet and adventurous strains of
"The Beautiful Blue Danuben-the
waltz to which every heart throbs
gloriously, while youth still sings in
the SOUL
He lived a full, useful, CHEEKY life.
He lived life as we planned he should
live 1t in our boyhood dreams gen.
Grafton ago. He held that rarest of
all Gods precious gifts-the joy of
seeing every dream he dreamed come
true, and beautifully true. He went
into youth with the gay serenity of
childhood, looking with eager pleasure
at everything about him, tasting of
every form of nectar that the ,Fates
hold fine and worthy. He went into
maturity with the zest of youth al
ways in his blood. He served his
country; he was loved of friends, and
beloved of those nearest him. Life
never stalled for him. 1t was a long
and happy dag OF merry adventure.

Sunrise OF Fire
Before Snowstorm

Last Wednesday morning about six
o'clock a wonderful sunrise spectacle
was visible in all the Hilltop section.
Looking out of ones western windows
the thought impressed itself that a
huge fire was raging somewhere, the
houses being Illuminated just that
way. The eastern sky was lurid with
flame color reflected from low-hang-
ing clouds, which shot the color back
to earth with brilliant red glare like
a confiagration. The Hudson was as
still as death, and reflected all of this
marvellous coloring. Flecked, as it
was with thousands Of white-ice
islands lazily floating on the surface,
and with the great buildings reflected
into it's east-shore depths, the picture
was of rare beauy that must have
caught any artists eye that saw it's
awe-inspiring effects. AS spectacle
it caught the poetic fancy in its be-
wildering charm. The atmosphere
was just right to add to the enthrall-
ment.

P0ise And AUOirdupOise.

The feeling that one may never be
satisfied with ones self is universal.
One is either too fat or too thin, too
short or too tall. While it is proper
for us never to be satisfied with our
selves from the standpoint of con-
duct, most of US Except the perfect
ones) seem to have a wish or feel
ing that we could or would be better
or different.
A well-known, stout comedian
sometime ago was very much dissatis-
fled with himself so undertook to
train down from 257 to 200. He was
in apparent good health, but the viol-
ence of his exercise was too much and
he brought on the fatal appoplexy.
1t is always well to use common
sense in looking into our physical
condition. Whatever providence does
with our physical construction should
be taken with a degree of apprecia-
ton. 1t may not pay to interfere
with natures products. OF course,
there are ways of taking off avoirdu-

wards stoutness due to over INDUCED
appetites. They yearn for the 1.-THE
and supple form and graceful curves.
But they are themselves responsible
for not knowing how to eat.
The race between poise and avoir-
dupoise is always close one. There
is an old saying, Cat to grow thin,
starve to grow fat'' That seems to
be the rule of dieting. The happy
middle ground is difficult road to
travel. The old nursary rhyme of
/ "Jack Spratt could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean"
appears to be record case of reduc-
ing extremes to proper proportion.

Z eNCe of mind is his safest
" happiness. Without it there
can be nothing but unrest and misery,
There should not be gold enough in
Christendom to buy this most precious
gift. It is as necessary as breathing,
for where there is mental unrest there
can be no joy. There is no happiness
in life outside of the comfort we get
out of it. To man who has his con-
science forever nagging him, prick
ing him into realization Of shortcom-
ings and failings, no amount of money
would be a value.
The man who has made his millions,
who has every wish gratified that
money will buy, gets precious little
satisfaction compared to the man who
has always treated everybody just
right, whose conscience is ever at
ease. Sharp deals for money advan-
tage never bring peace. They force
thinking about how some one may
have suffered by the transaction. The
sin grows upon itself.
Another thing that sometimes de-
stroys peace of mind is criticism of
others. If you do not know that a
certain person has led correct life,
though you may have learned it
through the channels of gossip, you
should never speak in terms of re-
proach. Speak only that which you
really know, and then only where it
can do no injury.
It pays to keep your own peace of
mind by correct attitudes, and to
help others do the same.

Good manners and good morals are
sworn friends and firm allies.-BartOl.
Democracy And Leadership.

"A local speaker recently made the
assertion that he did not want to dis
Eparage the claims belonging to the
great leaders in power; he did not
wish to discredit the well-meaning
intent of the men who had been the
means of declaring war in this and
other countries. But he doubted the
wisdom of giving such power to any
body but the people themselves. He
cited that war correspondent recent
" asked men whom he had met in the
European war zone if the people
would have desired or demanded war
had they been allowed to give ex-
preston to their views. The answer
was in call cases, No.
Then the speaker went on. to
elaborate the idea that the people
should have the voice in war. But
he left out all mention of the nec-
essity of guiding hand--leader-
ship. 1t was leadership alone that
got the Children of Israel out of the
Wilderness. That great democratic
body Of plodders needed a guiding
hand-a head, master, and Moses
took it unto himselfsto be- their leader
and master.
1t is all very well to talk about the
rule of the people; to claim that the
world must be made into great de-
mocracy ruled and made for the peo-
pie. But no democracy will ever rule
itself without leadership. The peo-
pie may enact measures of defense;
they may make laws for their govern
nent; but they cannot do any of these
things without leader to direct them.
A democracy would soon become a
Babel if it had no leader. la
The matter of declaring that. the
people Of the United States do not
want to go to war at this time, is
true enough, perhaps. But do the
people know what is best for them
Sometimes they may, but they are
never safe without leadership. The
whole worlds history is filed with in
stances of the. demand for leadership.

Maligning Purpose.

1t is often source of wonderment
that there can be so many causes for
envy in the world. No matter what
man may do for the common cause
of humanity, there seems to be some
channel through which opposition or
envy will come. The higher one
drifts in purpose; the more elevated
and unselfish ones labors may be,
the more certain there are to be
critics to tear and rip away the foun-
dations. This feeling appears not to
be confined to any specific sort of
labor for the public veal. The great
est wonder, too, is that no matter if
service is recognized as valuable,
even unusual, there comes the capt.
Gus critic. 1t is either not right, or
it is overdone-possibly underdone.
At any rate, the f1aw-picker must
have hand in things. Thank God
there is such thing as unselfish
labor in the world; there is such a
thing as self-abnegation; there is such
thing as the labor of love, and SO
the fabric of the wall of envy does
not accomplish any purpose except to
injure the life of the one having en-
vious tendencies. It may be that it
is natural and necessary for the So
cial leper to exist, and so the envious
one may have company at all times.
This, perhaps, may in some measure
make us more tolerant of those who
intrude upon the sanctity of purpose,
or who violate all Of the tenets of
responsibility. Unfortunately the en-
vious person seldom appreciates the
mark of Cain that is forever upon
their forehead. They can no more

there can, he f&36i IA that old say
