scHooL.ArTENpANcE CAMPAIGN,

special appeal to club women in the United
States has been issued by the United States Com
missioner of Education, Dr. p P. Claxton, urging
that the influence of the organizations they rep
resent be given to the maintenance of the
schools of the Nation in their full efficiency dur
ing the present crisis. Dr. Claxton says:
Everywhere there seems to be fear lest our
schools OF all kinds and grades, and especially the
public schools will suffer this year because of con-
ditons growing out of our entrance into the war
On the other hand, both for the present defence
and for the future welfare of our country as well
as for the individual benefit of the children it is
of the greatest Importance that the schools shall
be maintained in their full efficiency, both to
standards of work and attendance of children.
while the war continues there will be many
unusual temptations to many kinds of Juvenile del
inquencies. Prompt and regular attendance at
hours will be the children's surest protection
against such temptations.
when the boys and girls of school age
have reached manhood and womanhood there will
be need for higher standard of intelligence, SKILL
and wisdom for the work of life and for the duties
and responsibilities of citizenship than have
ever yet attained. Our schools must now be so
sustained and improved to enable them better
to prepare boys and girls for life and work in
the age which will follow the close OF the war
and the coming of peace. No boys and girls must
now be neglected exploited for selfish ends
"In all this probably others can be quite
helpful the club women of the country, most Of
whom also mothers of children For this
reason l am taking the liberty of suggesting to
them that in all women's clubs this should be
made subject of discussion at their first meet
ngs this fall and from time to time throughout
the year"

SIGNS OF BUSINESS.

A stranger would not take long to find that a
tremendous business is done through Cordele if he
had but few hours to look on while we pass up a
day last Saturday. That one of the best
business days ever. 1t cannot be expected of a
good business man that he will boast of what he
does on such day as that but you can measure the
volume if you will learn how to compare it with the
smile he puts on. Many a business man smiled
and worked hard all day and it then worse than
free lemonade day at almost every place of bust
ness The whole force" in every place busy
as busy could be.
Men at the head of large enterprises here ought
to take confidence if ever they have had occasion
to shake The business of the future in Cordele

NO TEMPoRIzINc NOW.

With pleading in equity Tom Watson made an
effort to get the Jeffersonian back into the mails
before Judge Speer and was again turned out last
opinion. No better reason could have been given
for refusing the publication right to distribution in
the mails of this country.
Watson knows as we'll as any one that justice
right to distribution in the malls of country
whose very integrity and existence are being daily
assailed
Long ago the Dispatch termed Watson of the
nifty of law in Georgia and there has never been a
moment that he has not borne out the truth of the
assertion.
We believe in freedom of speech, in individual
of a state and nation but none of these ever have
an exponent in Watson's publication. 1t isn't that
he is after nor anything like it.
Judge Speer rightly held that Watson should come
into court with clean hands when he came seeking
such extraordinary remedy. And the had not
come with clean hands. Think of the seditious ut
terances against the very government he is asking
to distribute his paper!
The court said:
Can one be said to come with clean hands,
when the policy, method and effort he would
maintain may cause his hands to be imbrued in
the blood of the demoralized and defeated ar
niae of his countrvmen?"
When the government completely suppresses such
publications as that presided by Watson, it will
be much better off, even though it has to dscrimi
nate as to when and when not an interference with
free speech.

OUR COUNTY FAIR.

President r. l.. Dekle and his board of directors
are steadily pushing the fair plans and if present
progress measures for worth Crisp is going to have
great time during the three days October "a, %,
and 26. Much of the hard work has been accom-
plshed and it is now a matter OF arranging the
show which will be provided.
The leading farmers of the county have gene into
the movement for big fair with idea of encour-
aging diversifcation and food raising. They know
much of the education that will result will mean an
even greater abundance of food stufs the next year
Those who are at work now feel that it is more than
ever solemn duty to help spread the gospel of
growing more food crops,
Crisp county, as far as crops go, will never be
more able to show its own citizens what it has &C
complished than during the present year There is
much that our farmers and business do not
even know has been accomplished, for most of
them have seen only small bit of the whole.
The show this fall is timed well and will mean
education in just the right line More food, more
hogs, more cattle-more everything in food pro-
ducts is the slogan ought to adopt at the fair for
we are out to make the fair help
There is indeed remarkable interest On all
sides The whole county has looked forward to the
time with great hope of making the most of such
a fair, 1t is going to be big one,-a show that
will reflect credit on the farmers and their assoc.
iates who now busy making efforts to put each
district ahead and in line for the district prizes.

WHY NOT LATIN?

leading North Carolina paper gets red headed
because there some thousand children
studying Latin to every seven hundred studying
agriculture. 1t shoots hard at the study of Latin
without knowing the difference.
studied and acquired the usual academic require
ment in Latin. There is a difference between an
academic training and vocational training, The
elementary schooling in which Latin is taught
comes first, all the time. Then comes agriculture,
if you will 1t is often practical to make the vona-
tionai training parallel study, however
1t must be remembered that there more than
100, 900 English words Eighty per cent more
are derived from Latin directly. When we come to
think of the small vocabulary of the average person.
some three TO five thousand words, should we balk
at the study of Latin? Shakespeare had at his
command no more than $4,000 words. If every
word at his command had been Latin, he would have
mastered less than one-ffth of the Latin words in
the English we speak. No person can know English
well without thorough scholarly study of Latin.
Whoever argues for the elimination of Latin on
the ground that it is an effort to revive dead Ian
guage missed the mark and puts himself in a sad
plight with regard to real knowledge of the values
OF Latin iif our English education.

COTTON BELOW NORMAL.
business center

The farmers in other sections of Georgia haven't
beaten those of Crisp making cotton this year, at
all You may hunt for yourself and you will not find
a better showing in the cotton patch than can be
seen in Crisp county The cotton is made in large
quantities and unless much of it is sold far too
soon, it will bring handsome returns to- us.
We may credit most of our cotton to energy in
the fight against the boil weevil. We have learned
little about how to combat the weevil and know of
the extreme Importance of getting after him early.
Some of farmers have fine crops that they saved
from the weevl entirely by early effort But these
dangers are yet abroad of us
1t is the price at present that is interesting most
people. The newspaper usually plays at knowing
everything and goes the presumption that others
know very little. Nobody knows everything but it
many an opportunity for better prices than are
prevailing now. Cotton must bring 25 cents a
pound else it is below value. Compared with two
years ago all other values doubled. Cotton is
not profitable under normal conditions at less than
fifteen cents, With other palues doubled. cotton
should likewise double and if the farmer separates
himself from his crop at less than % cents pound
he is going to be the loser
OF course, there are people who will not be able
to hold their cotton crops What eevr the buyer is
willing to pay will then be taken Cotton is going
to much higher figure 1t ought to be held for
it is not bringing a fair price at present
If anybody deserves fair price for the cotton it
is the man who makes ii and he ought not to be
separated from it below value

FARMERS GET VALUABLE PO-
TATO EXPERIENCE

The results of thirteen demonstra-
tions with potatoes in Kingsbury
county seem to show that Early Ohio
and Carmen No. 3 are the most profit
able varities for conditions in that dis
trict. County agent A. r. WIFE states
that he counted six different varities
of potatoes at the railroad siding at
Lake Preston one afternoon. One farm
er who had 80 acres of Early Ohios
marketed his crop at a premium of 6
cents a bushel over the prevailing
market price. The agricultural asso-
ciaton will make an effort next season
to encourage the production of Early
Ohios. The farmers of Kingsbury
county are encouraged to believe that
they are living in a great potato dis
trict and that it is well worth while to
standardize.

forty were cooperative, tw~enty-six were

cream produced in the state was ship

HORTICULTURAL INSPECTION

The horticultural inspection work Of
South Dakota is under the direct super
vision of the State college entomolo-
gist who devotes about nine weeks Of
his time during the summer months u
control of insects that are injurious to
trees and plants. Professor SEVERN
and Mr.. Gilbertson have collected con-
siderable knowledge concerning the
distribution Of injurious insects in
South Dakota, the amount of injury
done by them, and their life histories.
They have been making a large cOllec-
ton of Riker mounts of injurious in
sects showing the stages in their life
history and whenever possible the in
furious work that they do. These
cases are of great value not only in
the class room but also at conventions,
farmers meetings, fairs, etc. Thous-
ands of persons have seen the large
display from this department each
year at the State fair where an in
structor has always been present to
explain the exhibit and to answer
questions.

wise the individually owned type of
creamery seems to succeed better. AS
the state grows older and farmers be-
come more intensIvely engaged in
dairying, they will realize that a 20
operative creamery is the one that
will bring them the greatest returns
for their product, providing there is
enough production in the community to
minimize the cost of manufacture"
