NoCKELS HITS AT FISHER AS
MAN FRIDAY TO NEWS AND
TRIB BEFORE COMMITTEE
Some idea of the influence the Chi
cago Tribune and the Chicago Daily
News sway whenever the city's
transportation or their little pet loop
is affected was gained by spectators
at the meeting of the local transpOr-
tation committee Tuesday.
The Tribune and News are unfair
to the best interests of the city in or
der that they may help the loop,
where the big advertisers are lOcat-
ed, it was charged. Walter Fisher,
traction expert for the city, was Ia
beled as Man Friday to the Trib and
News"
Edward Nockles, sec'y Of the c. F.
Of L., appeared before the committee
and asked that Walter Fisher be re-
moved as the city's representative.
file represents the interest of the
traction barons instead of that Of the
city" said NOckles.
Fisher assisted in putting over the
1907 ordinance" said Nockles, and
behold what you got! Fisher gets
good pay from the city and plays Man

THE WHATCHAMA COLUMN
By George Martin
Inventive Genius.

Inventive genius is running amuck
in this country. Something ought to
be done to stop it.
If you don't believe it, look what it's
done to our lead pencils. Time was
when lead pencil was just plain.
Lnassuming writing utensil that start
cd at one end and ended at the other.
When it wore it's nose out doing its
duty, you gave it a few slices with a
knife and it was ready for work again.
1t was so simple child could manipu-
late 1t.
Inventive genius has put an end and
3 lot of other unnecessary things, to
the simple lead pencil. The lead pencil
today is as difficult to understand as
timetable Not only must we buy it,
but we must learn to use it. We must
figure out whether it unwolds, works
with spring, is run by lever or has
a secret combination.
That's what untrammelled inventive
genius has done for us.

EFFICIENCY ON THE FARM.

There is just much necessity for efficiency on the

ment has reduced many features of agriculture to

The Dalton Citizen recognizes this the conserya-

more about how to save and prepare food should

SIMPLE BINGHAM FROCKS
MAY BECOME THE FASHION

ATLANTA, Ga, April 21.-The sim
pie Bingham frock folden days may
again become more fashionable than
the most expensive silks and satins, il
society and clubwomen of Atlanta and
other cities carry out their proposed
measures of war economy and induce
their sisters to do the same.
Patriotic women everywhere are
aiding in the propaganda to keep
fashions in dress as simple and econ
omical as possible during the war.
LAS a matter of fact, simple and
inexpensive clothes are always in
good taste" said a leader in club and
social life in Atlanta, discussing the
subject. at this time we should es-
pecially favor them. The women can
serve their country in a very valuable
way by conserving the nations re-

THE HAND OF THE VANDAL.

The person who destroys the trees and their fruits
is just great to the nation in proportion
the person who blows up munition factories The Au-
gusta Chronicle sounds warning through T. D. M in
his column Of Talking It Over when it said:
And meaner than the man who tears down the
dogwood trees when gathering dogwood blossoms, is
he who tears down the apple blossoms and peach
blossoms just to have some pretty flowers
For gracious sake, at least, spare us the fruit!
So, let the people guard themselves in their thought
less gathering of blossoms-p precious because the
necessity in these extraordinary times.

The Public
Safety Value
Editor Times-Recorder:

Editor Times-Recorder:
Knowing your own strong prohibit
ton principles, and how you have used
at all times, the columns of your paper
in furthering this cause, | felt that it
would be of interest to you to know of
la personal visit with party of friends
over to Girard to see the immense
stores of liquor being destroyed by
government officers there. To read it
in newspapers, one cannot grasp the
real enormity of the task Of the men
committed to this work. The ware
house where this blind tiger" liquor
has been stored for several months,
seems to be covering block, or very
near it. 1t is filled to the top in many
places inside, the 'staircases" being
made of cases of liquor. 1t certainly
shows how men may ply the trade of
an outlaw barkeeper or blind tiger,
when officers seem to be blind and deaf.
A dray filled with cases drives out of
| the warehouse, followed by others with
barrels and kegs. Two negroes, or
possibly white men, knock the ends out
OF barrels, and steady stream of en-
cased destruction of body, soul and
mind. flows into the large ravine. AS
the negroes watch the flowing stream,
the are often heard to say feelingly,
Now, amt dat er shame?" One white
man, whose nose bore signs of per-
sonal acquaintance with this blind til
ger liquor previously, was loudly tell
ing of the pity in destroying peoples
personal property" We wondered if
the children and wives of the men who
would have drunk such stuff would
have agreed with his dissertation on
personal privileges and property. Part
of the liquor is being burned and the
rad glare seems to remind one of the
flames of misery created by the deadly
stuff over the wide world. AS huge bar
rels become heated they explode with
note like the booming of cannon.
How strangely typical of the booming
OF prohibition cannon, which have
been leveled on this destructive bust
ness for years, and which will con-
tinue to train guns upon it until it is
swept from off the earth.
The trees on the edge of the ravine
where the liquor and beer is being
poured are blasted and dead. Even
trees cannot stand personal contact
with the miserable stuff and livei
A new day has verify dawned in our
Southland, and no longer can the ar
rogance of the liquor business thrust
its defiance in the faces of weak men
and helpless women and children. The
destruction of this liquor was one of
the most thrilling and inspiring sights
l ever witnessed. May it be but the be-
ginning of just as determined work on
the part of officers of our own state, if
any should seek to set aside the pro
lection promised by our own bone
dry" law

FUTURE CROPS.

The question of food crops is
one which at the present time is
very serious for this section, and
shows the necessity of providing
for future crops. At this time all
rice crops in the parishes adjoin-
ing us are menaced by Salt Water,
our rice crops would be entirely
lost if the planters would be for
hidden from taking water from the
Teche, which under ordinary con-
dition would be done. The plan
tiers realizing the seriousness of
the situation are now taking steps
to have the Government in some
way provide an abundance of wa
ter in the Teche which can be
done, and allow the planters the
unrestricted use of the water for
irrigation.
