A PATRIOTIC CHRISTMAS!

Where public sentiment in the past
urged sane Christmas" for the
sake of order and propriety, the
Georgia Fire Committee of National
Defense presents the new and added
reason that such a Christmas will as
sist our government in its great fight
for the conservation of food products
and other commodities by the proven
ton of fires.
Statistics show that not only are
death and injury due to the display Of
fireworks, but that heavy destruction
Of property always results. At d
time when our nation is at war WITH
the greatest single military power the
world has ever known and is strainine
every nerve to meet the inevitable de-
mands, it IS above all ill-suited foT
the unnecessary imperiling of any OF
our resources. whether man-power or
property by the useless extravaganza
Of funds or the endangering of prod
ucts for a demonstration that at best
can be classed only poor patriotism.
The national government is using
every energy to utilize available forces
to minimize the destruction of com
modities by fire. merica and our al
lies stand today in imperative need OF
all munitions this nation can produce
Materials used in making fireworks
can be employed by the government
in the manufacture of munitions.
Acting under the direction of the
government for the safeguarding OF
all necessary products and property,
the Georgia Fire Prevention Commit
tee Of National Defense is urging mun.-
cipalities of the state to enact and
enforce ordinances that will prevent
the sale and use of fireworks and save
property and life.
/ 1t is a time when loyal Georgians
can aid in the prevention of destruc-
ton by fire and the useless waste of
materials and money.

THANKS.

The Times Recorder is deeply APP
preciative of the compliment confer
red upon it by Prof. w. Melton in
using this newspaper as a textbook
for one of the courses for his class
in journalism at Emory College. Ok
ford Ga.
The Times-Recorder is also obliged
for the kindly comment passed upon
it by the ten young men in this
journalistic class For the most part,
their criticism is very favorable, if not
fattering; but the few weak points
which they detected in the Times-Re-
ccrder were fully known to us before
even the college boys observed them.
With the limited resources of a
small city daily, it is not possible to
publish a newspaper that compares
in every particular, and to is credit
with the bigger dailies of the larger
cities The Times-Recorder simply
does the best it can with the material
at hand, in proportion to its patron
age from advertisers and subscribers.
We confidently believe that as the
business grows, so the paper will i'm
prove. At any rate, our purpose is
fixed accordingly.
However, it is greatly gratifying 20
know that class in journalism feels
that The Times-Recorder is worthy
of their serious study, and it is
peculiarly pleasing to be informed of
"a verdict so complimentary as is the
Judgment of the Emory class.

UrOfits in Peanuts.

The Triton Gazette says; If 20,
don't believe there was big crop q
peanuts in this part of the country
this year, visit the warehouse of the
Planters Cotton Oil Co.
So far this company has boughl
about 1000 tons of peanuts, and thC
season is just we'll under way. Twc
carloads were unloaded Monday, ant
about carload came in by wagon
Besides this, Charley Mathis, buyer FOL
the company, was out to bid on six OF
eight cars more. About 500 tons have
been bought which ave not been ship

Considerable time has been lost be.
cause of the shortage of coal. For this
reason, the mills had to shut down
for a few days, and the supply of coal
on hand now will only last a short
while
The mills are paying from $1O5 to
$115 a ton for peanuts. AS rule
growers who experimental with tn:
crop for the first time this year are
highly pleased. Where the crop was
rot carefully looked after, both in cul-
tivation and harvesting, of course
there is dissatisfaction. Those who
contracted for their peanuts early in
theyear at $50 a ton are also in the
not pleased class.
AS a whole, taking in view the shor-
tage in the cottonseed crop and the
demand for food stuffs. the peanut
crop is boon to the country, for it
contributes abundance of fat

PROFITS IN PEANUTS.

There ought to be, and there prob
ably will be, more peanuts planted in
Sumter county next year.
Peanuts will grow on almost any
kind of soil, and, comparatively, they
are easy of cultivation. A good crop
will net ton to every three acres.
and with a ton now bringing $50
there is considerable profit in the
transaction.
The oil mills buy peanuts just as
readily as they will cotton seed, pro-
yided they have facilities for crush
Jig peanuts; and for that matter, a
great9' production of peanuts will
necessarily force Accommodations for
handling the crop.
One farmer on the edge of Sumter
county this year has sold one hundred
tons for $106 per ton. And he didn't
lose a single nights sleep worrying
what the boil weevil was doing in his
reanut patch!

COLOR SCHEMES.

the white plague during service IN the
trenches, reports an interesting limo

yellow, making a striking contrast.
An adjoining room may be brilliant
orange, another light green, another
gold, etc, each with its contrasting
doors, which are no doubtful hues, no
fine ordinations of color, and
above all, nothing dark or somber. Ey-
cry color must be intrinsically pleasing
and must diffuse positive brightness,
cheerfulness and hope.
It has taken scientists many CEN
turtles to learn what children have
always known instinctively - that
bright colors are good for us and
that dull colors are not. We have too
long sacrificed health and sanity, not
to mention sanitation, in a quest for
dubious esthetic effects. Now we are
coming to see that the nearer we can
approximate indoors to the colors OF
the outdoors-of the sky, sun, water,
grass, leaves and fiowers-the more
wholesome is the effect on both body
and mind. Such stimulating outdoor
tints are needed, particularly by in
valids. Only a well person can stand
being shut up in a depressing atmos-
phere
So science is introducing rational
color schemes into hospitals Event

 "It makes me feel proud of AL aska to read about the way that the two-bit tobacco fund Is growing The boys have missed their Ameri- can tobacco ever since they left the States. They ran out of smokes on board the boat coming across, and they have had very little Ameri- can tobacco since.
