fIsW Mass formation.

An English officer, so ''war story"
runs, went out marketing for his mess
in u French town. He bought his pou-
lets. his legumes and his polssons very
cleverly, but spoiled his reputation for
speaking like native when at the end
he remarked to the demoiselle behind
the counter, "Vous savez, e'est pour In
messe" (messe in French being the
equivalent for mass in English).
The young woman's idea of what
must go on at "mass" in England,
after this statement, would no doubt
have astonished the officer.

dirty work of the INSCRIPTIONS youth
who is ever on the alert to initiate
some girl into forbidden ways.
A like criticism may be made of the
moving pictures, which only too often
portray courtships which seem all hug
ging and kissing. Such depictions are
bound to have their effect on the minds
OF adolescent and unsophisticated girls,
and are also an undesirable stimulant
for eyil-minded boys. The morals of
this world are entirely too lax now Off
any such license to be INDUCED in by
newspapers which should be the very
factors most influential in shaping the
thought of the growing generation.
kissing may not be killing, but it is
powerfully dangerous-it is a high
explosive that grown people, much less
children, should not play with. And it
is imprudent, to say the least, for a
newspaper, by regarding it lightly and
with levity, to encourage it.

A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT.

Here is a complaint from the Schley
County News, published at Ellavile:
The daily train from Columbus
to Americas is off time every day
1t is due at 11:15 a. m. and usu-
ally arrives here about l 80 p. N.
If any one expects to make con-
nection in Americas with the up
and down trains at 2:10 p m, they
had best hire "fiivver," for con-
nections are made only once in a
long time by this mis-called ac-
commodation train.
This train also carries mail and
all mail carried by this train stays
in Americas several hours.
1t does seem like our people are
of right entitled to some consid-
Grafton by the railroad authori-
ties. Why not petition the Rail-
road commissioners to compel the
road to make connections with the
trains that pass Americas at
2:10 p. m?
The schedules maintained by the
Central of Georgia with this accom-
train have been notorious fol
some time-and there ought to be a
remedy.
Due here at 1890 o'clock, the train
arrives from one to two-thirty
It misses connections about as often
as it makes them, but what is worse
for Americas, it does not give its pa
irons any time to shop or attend tc
business in this city. If it operated &C.
cording to schedule, people from Ella.
vile and other towns on the route
could come here and spend about two
hours between trains.

should be sufficiently interested to the
extent of placing it before the proper

THERE'S DYNAMITE IN IT.

The Lumpkin Independent reprints
from an unnamed newspaper the fol
lowing paragraph:
A lot of lies are told about court
ing. One of them is that a girl
screams for help the first time you
kiss her, and another is that
father uses his boot on young
man when the young man asks
father for daughters hand AS a
matter Of fact, girl likes to be
kissed, and the ony hollering she
does is for more kisses. And IA
Their seldom knows that daughter
is engaged until mother tells him
to put clean collar and come on
and see daughter get hitched.
That is a very painful and laborious
attempt to be facetious The writer
of it sought, by sheer exaggeration, to
be funny. But his wit is limping and
his "humor' is ridiculous and disgust
ing.
Such stuff as that ought not to APP
pear in any newspaper. More espec-
tally should it be debarred from the
editorial page, where it at least re-
ceiyes the dignity of serious consider
alton. 1t is such rot as that that in
cUlcates bad ideas in the heads Of fool
ish little girls. It gives them the
impression that promiscuous kissing is
entirely permissible, the very thing for
them to do-and it makes easier the

The Boil WeeVil Has Shown What
He Can Do.
ton

The Albany Herald says:
The Southwest Georgia farmer who
was going to make all the cotton he
wanted to make doll weevil or no
boil weevil, is now reminded that "to
err is human"
For that farmer who thought the
boil Weevil was a pest whose destruc-
tive power had been greatly over-rated
nok knows better, The gathering of
the present crop is sufficiently ad-
vanced to have afforded a practical
demonstration of the destructive poer
OF the Mexican pest, and whatever
doubters there are no longer left on
southwest Georgia farms.
For the cotton fields in this section
bear eloquent testimony to the fact
that those who have been giving warn,
ling did not exaggerate the ability of
the boil weeyiI to completely cut off
top-crop cotton.
A good bottom crop has already been
made in this part of the country. Much
Of it has been picked, ginned and sent
to market. There remain in the fields
many well matured hollis and good
deal of open cotton.
But there is no top crop. There are
no longer any cotton blooms, white the
4 first day and deep pink the next. AS
fast as the buds form they are pune
tured, and soon they fall off.
In fields where the repeated warn
ings of county agents and others COM
petent to advise have been ignored by
those cultivating them--where fallen
squares have not been regularly pick
ell up and destroyed-the cotton stalks
are today denuded of practically every
thing but leaves. A few struggling,
sickly-looking bolls remain, but not
enough of the staple will open to make
further picking profitable. On the
other hand, where the methods recon-
mended for use under boil weevil con
ditions have been followed, splendid
bottom yields have been made, and the
crop, at prevailing prices, is proving
a profitable one,
The cotton farmer has one import
ant duty remaining.
1t is duty to himself and to his
neighbors.
| He should destroy the cotton stalks
in his fields as soon as the gathering
Of the crop has been completed.
/ There should be no delay. The boil
weevil eats cotton and cotton only.
The sooner his food supply is cut off
in one locality the sooner will he leave
to seek it in some other quarter. Cot
ton growers in boil weevil territory
further west are already beginning to
destroy their cotton stalks, and their
= weeyils will be coming by thousands
into southwest Georgia fields.
If the pests are to be kept moving.
their food supply must be cut off here.
1t should also be remembered that
as the result of destroying the cotton
stalks early in the season, adult wee,
wills will enter the winter season of
affirmation in a weakened condition
and the likelihood of their death from
/ cold will be greatly increased. 1t is
possible, in sections where every far
mer destroys his cotton stalks early in
the season, to starve many of the pests
to death even before cold weather
eets in.

can do to the farmer cotton.

A NEW ARISTOCRACY.


ling influence, the most powerful dem
ocratizer, the most wonderful triumph
for merit, in the annals of all time.
Before its sweep, monarchs have
been brushed from their thrones, like
flies from the wall, and proud aristoc-
racy has been humbled in the dust. 1t
has placed talent above blood birth,
everything has made brains
at a premium and afforded the person
Of intellect a prestige that inheritance
cannot give nor wealth purchase.
For ages there have been two arts
tocracies-the aristocracy of birth, the
proudest of all, and the aristocracy
of money, which has twin known as
snobbery. But now there is an aristo
cracy which stands more erect than
any of them, before which world
gives way and bows in dutiful submits
SIGN and appreciation-it is the arts
tocracy of intellect
The distinguishing policy of Napol
con was his way of giving ambition
and capacity a chance. Every soldier
carries a marshal's baton in his KNAPP
sack, he was wont to say; and it was
this knowledge that inspired the COM
monest soldier in the ranks to aspire
to higher honors. And so Napoleon
had around him always men of the
finest ability, because he gave the prfe
erence to talent, instead of to title; and
he made kings of stable boys and
dukes and marshals of peasants sons.
This career open to talent" has
been superbly exemplified in the va
rious officers training camps The
bluest blood of Virginia, nor all the
richest of the Indies, could not buy adj
mission to these camps, and the young
men who trained in them became lieu
tenants and captains and majors be-
cause they demonstrated their WORTH
ness and efficiency, not because of
their family name, their possessions,
or their previous standing in the cons
munity Thus we now find one man a
lieutenant who was a store-clerk, wear
ing bars on his shoulder with the
same rank and distinction of his
brother officer, no lived in mansion
and had known more about classes
than he did the masses
There were centuries when intellec-
tual attainment had little standing. The
ablest poets suffered the pangs of
hunger. The greatest writer's often
died obscurely. The most gifted men
o. science were poor and unknown,
Their mental proficiency was no open
sesame to any society. They fawned
upon those of wealth and title for
crumbs of recognition. Like Shakes
peare, they were wont to publish the
of their brain anonymously,
so Improbable was the assumption of
sponsorship.
But when this world war is over, the
man with the ability to think, the man
whose brain entities him to direct. to
perform, to lead, and to create, will
be the men most signally honored For
the aristocracies of birth and wealth
will be simply servitors in the king
dom where the aristocracy of brains
will reign supreme.

at the national headquarters. with Miss
Florence Marshall of New York as di-
rector.
Systematizing the Red Cross activi-
ties Of the women of the United States;
devising new ways in which the women
can perform valuable activities to sup
port the military forces and to keep
the homes intact; reaching out SO that
every woman in the country, no mat
ter how far back in the country she
may live. may have personal inter-
est and part in the relief work, are the
broad general lines along which this
bureau will be conducted.
Miss Marshall, director of the new

an international knowledge of techni-
cal and trade conditions. having trav-
eled extensively abroad. The advisory

RED CROSS FUND RAISED
TO TOTAL OF $4,000, 1000
Cash to Redeem Pledges Coming in
at Rate Of 100000
Day, Is Report.

More than 100000 is the total of
tho Red Cross war service fund. Be-
lated returns yesterday drove the total
up to this sum. Cash to redeem pledges
made during Red Cross week is now
pouring into national headquarters at
the rate of nearly 100000 day.
The Red Cross today announced that
200 chapters were organized during the
special war fund campaign week. and
that 1884 chapters are now on the rolls,
compared with 272 February L. Iowa
has 112 chapters. more than any other
state; New York state has ITO, and
Pennsylvania, 90. Indiana is reported
as having the most thorough organiza-
ton of any state.
Red Cross headquarters explained to-
day that official reports Of pledges re-
ceived during the special campaign had
not been received from some localities,
and that. consequently, discrepancies
exist between headquarters and local
tabulations for states. Senator Smoot
declared in a statement today that
Utah had raised s520,124, making a per
capita contribution Of s114 The
states apportionment was only S3oo, 900.
