FAIR WILL HELP.

Crsp county has gone to work on
i've stock and food crops through her
iair. The fall show could serve no
better purpose than to make it pos
5ible for the really live, progressive
farmers and stock raisers to see the
Eect that has been done among us.
Wi bout the fair we could have moth
ing like the interest that is being man
ifested in food crops and live stock al
ready.
The pride in district exhibits is 60
ing TO make itself felt, and every
community is sure to be we'll repre-
serted. The best single prizes of the
fair will be awarded to the leading dis
tricts. In the end this plan is going
to 10 great good.
The fair has already amounted to
so! ething i'll Crisp. me general mani
fes alton of interest indicates that
great upbuilding of the stock raising
industry and the growing of food
crC3s on all sides will follow. The
district vice presidents and directors
are doing their full part all over the
county. 1t is going to be our best

HIGHER AND HIGHER.

How they do work on us with high
prices, and how perfectly ridiculous
are some of the explanations! Sugar
is going beyond the reach Of our sweet
tooth and then on up higher, not be.
bause there isn't any sugar, but be-
cause it's time when those who have
it can charge more for it. That it was
all due to the Cuban revolution was
the excuse made when that little coun-
try had before breakfast disturb
ance a few weeks ago. Now that is
over and they say it is due to failure
to get ships in which to haul sugar.
If the American government should
have a grudge against anybody, it
should by all means not forget those
who grab our food necessities and sit
on them till we get hungry enough to
pay their prices.
The man who pays ten cents pound
for his sugar, twenty dollars a barrel
for his flour, 81 cents a pound for his
meat, and two dollars a bushel for
meal and draws only the old time
salary has to beat his way, steal or go
hungry. There is an army of them
who produce nothing,-haven't the
time They simply sell their time
about sixteen hours day of it, for a
fved sum and they have no opportuni'
ty to make anything else.
Let us thank our stars that we have
both the space and the time making
our gardens,-that we can count the
biscuit and have this luxury once a
| week, as in the old times,-that we
| can do without sugar entirely in a
pinch-that we live where almost
everything required by the human sys
| TEN can be raised Let us be assur
ed that no one fails of his full duty
in the matter of providing a food sup
ply from the farm and garden.
| What a victory will be ours when
we have managed to live without the
high priced commodities! May we
pass the food products gambler and
leave him to sit beside his wealth and
rot.

an organization with sixteen nstru-
ments and many of these are already

Mrs. Highbrow is all het up about
the way people impugn her motives
every time she starts out to do some
thing. OF course, she cannot include
everybody when she sends out invita-
tions to special events for the elite.
She says she'll be mighty glad when
the town grows large enough for peo-
pie not to take such awfully plain note
of what their neghbors are doing.

Let those who are dubious about
the way Crisp county farmers are sell
ing their hogs take look. There are
yet twice as many hogs in this com.
munity as ever before and credita-

fine hogs are being bought than ever
in our history and within another

a showing that might bring down the
envy of the entire outside world Hog
raising is the one purpose in Crisp.

spied new dress last Sunday. 1t

Somebody accused Mrs. Highbrow
of driving away her neighbours dirty
little children from the front last
week when they came to play with
the toys her little boy left there. She
says now that she's not going to lei
them stop there any more just to show
those who NEEDLE that she's boss on
her own premises. She is not to blame
for their not having any toys and she
is quite sure that her neighbor's dirty

mitted to make a little rutiian of her

Do WE FORGET?

When a stranger comes into our
neighborhood and starts to make his
home, the attention we give him
doesn't bother much. He is busy at
his work and if he has any business
at ALL he goes about it with enthusi-
asm of such moment as to keep his
mind off the social affairs,-the atten-
ton the members of his family get
while they are at home trying to de-
termine the best thing to, do to make
friends in their new surroundings.
Many, many of those who have had
everything to do with the making of
the community go to church, are good
missionaries, help financially in every
little enterprise where the communi-
~ good name is at stake, know well
how to sit in the amen corner at
church and by their presence help
the preacher to deliver a good SER
mon, but do they remember what they

Nonessentials Being Eliminated b!
War Influences Upon Civilian
Population.
GENERAL BUSINESS IS GOOD
Cheerful Feeling Born Of Allied Sue
ccsses, Heavy Governmental Buy
ing and High Prices for Farm

NEW YORK. November 23.-Dun's
review tomorrow Will say:
The record Of business in tho United
States. mainly one Of adjustment to
new and extraordinary conditions. is
more than ever subordinate. to tho
pressing necessities OF the govern
ment. Not only is consumption chang
ing in character with civilian demands
centering more fully in the staple CONF
modities. but production likewise is
coming moro closely under the DOM
ina.ion OF war Influences. and outputs
OF what are termed nonessential ar
ticlcs are being lessened or eliminated
altogether. The element OF price con-
troll also enters moro largely into cal
culations and not few raw materials
used in manufacturing. we'll as the
finished products. are either directly
or indirectly subject TO official rcEula-
ton. Where revisions have already
been effected and uncertainties in this
respect removed. there has come an
improvement in sentiment. and in some
instances a moderate. though distinct
revival OF activity after Il considerable
period of hesitancy and waiting. The
volume OF general business. quito
apurt from governmental needs. re-
mains large in about all directions. in
some cases Is broadening. but the draw
backs in many industries and trades
increase rather than diminish. and the
curtailmcnt Of operations through fuel
and labor scarcity becomes moro no
ticeable. With the congestion In trans
portation. which seems TO grow woroe
instead or better. there is much delay
in supplies reaching points OF desti-
nation. and this has a natural ten
dency to acccntuatc the strength in
some markets in which maximum prices
