PRICES OF LONG AGO.

Prices are up, way up, and will prob.
ably go higher During war time.
We must expect high prices, must en-
dure them. Possibly we must submit
to them long after the war is over
But il is interesting, at that to com
pare the prices of today with those
of yesteryear.
Read this, for instance, from the
Dalton Citizen:
I'm looking back over the files
of The Citizen twenty years ago,
it is interesting to note the prices
of groceries, produce, cotton and
livestock as quoted at that time.
Fancy patent flour is quoted at
$3.50 per hundred; granulated SUI
gar twenty pounds for 81; lard,
Z cents a pound; syrup. 20 cents a
gallon. We find hens selling at
II cents each; large friers, 10
cents to u cents each; turkeys,
51-2 cents per pound; butter,
cents to ten per pound, and eggs
IA cents a dozen. On the other
hand we find that the farmer was
getting 6 "a to cents a pound
for his cotton, while now he is
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1918-02-26

getting 26 to 80 cents; he receiv-
ed thirty cents bushel for corn,
while now he receives $1.65 to
S1.75. He sold his peas for so to
rs cents a bushel. For his oats
he received 20 cents a bushel, for
his wheat IS cents to IS cents a
bushel For his hogs, he realized
23-4 to 27-S cents, gross, and
for his cattle, gross, lie cent to
1.1-2 cents.
Well never see such times, never
know such prices, again. Gone are
the days when a frying-sized chicken
could be bought for ten or fifteen
cents and when eggs were high at
twenty cents a dozen.
Never again will we get twenty-five
pounds of sugar for dollar or a
pound of butter for % cents
Still, there is balance wheel.
Wages, generally, are higher. Artisans,
mechanics, skilled workmen in general
receive higher pay. The average man
of today fares almost as we'll as he
did a quarter of century ago. 1t is
really the dealer who is hit hardest.
the grocer and the butcher and the
clothier. Their profits have been cur
tailed by government order, and they
are really skimming along on thin
ice. 1t is the producer who is making
the most. and for whom the present
offers the greatest chance.

GERMAN SPIES

What, a German spy in Americus ?
l don't believe it possible!"
Yet it is possible it was possible
and it has probably happened.
Just why the location of an aviation
camp at Americas should be of in
terest and Importance to the German
government, sufficient to justify the
sending Of shrewd spy here, who
took his life in his own hands by COM
ing, it is difficult to understand. But
the German spy system is so thorough,
and has so many ramifications, that
il is altogether likely that spy did
come here.
Says the Manufacturers Record;
Nothing short of death will
serve to deter German Spies They
cover our land; they work in de-
vious ways; they are ever on the
alert to arise false issues; they
are constantly trying to lessen our
war preparations; they are lying
about the Red Cross and its work,
lying about our soldiers, lying
about anything and everything
which would lessen our determi-
nation to win the war. And they
have some guileless, simple-mind-
ed, brain-bereft people, without
moral backbone, quietly working
with them as though they were
real men and women instead of
being merely meak limitations! Be-
ware of all of them!
The German spy system deals in
fractions, and also in futures 1t fig
ures, and has figured, years ahead It
goes into details, makes notes OF
things insignificant to us but impor-
tant to them-important for future
reference.
If a few of these spies were lined
UP against solid brick wall, with
eyes bandaged, facing a firing squad
it would help. 1t would serve a great
! err purpose than informing four hun
dred suspects. Certain it is that Ger
mans would have no pity in dealing
with an American caught spying in the
Fatherland!
Don't be oyer-suspicious, but be
watchful. alert, and look over your
shoulder occasionally.

TINE TO GET BUSY.

The Times Recorder knows what i
is talking about when it declares thai
there is now in progress a campaign
to Illustrate action by the general as
sembly of Georgia on the national con
stitutional amendment for prohibition
The governor must perform the
routine duty of transmitting to the
legislature the amendment as it passed
Congress, which means, of course
that the issue will be directly raised,
beyond any doubt.
The argument is going to be made
al least. one daily newspaper in Geor-
gia will make it--that the question
should be submitted directly to the
people, and that, at any rate, states
rights are involved, and the amend
ment should be defeated on that
ground.
Already seven states have ratified the
amendment, and fully seven others
will do So during the coming summer
months. Georgia, one of the original
prohibition states, cannot afford to do
otherwise.
Besides, these are times when ii
were idle to argue constitutional tech
nicalities Prohibition is no longer
theory-it is an accepted fact, a
condition that promotes the general
welfare of the nation and of the in
Gividual states. Liquor has no de-
Tense, none who can defend it on its
merits; but there are those who, for
mercenary motives, fight for it.
Some of those still survive in Geor-
gia, one or two paid lobbyists, one or
two newspapers who are influenced
by the whiskey ring, one or two pro
fessional politicians who can be easily
persuaded to do John Barleycorn's dirty
work. These forces are not only lin
ing up, but have already organized, in
a sort of way, to do the devils mis-
chief. and they are going to put all
kinds of obstacles on the track, to de-
rail or wreck the amendment when ii
is submitted to the Georgia legisla-
ture.
The Times Recorder is confident
that this amendment will be ratified
if the right-thinking citizens of Geor
gia get squarely behind their repre-
sentatives and senators in plenty o.
time. The other crowd is workine
now; the law and order forces should
also bestir themselves. Public senti
ment will go long way, but in the
matter of legislation it is organiza.
ton that counts.
Georgia cannot afford, for decency's
sake, to go on record as being the first
CT the states to sidetrack the prohibi
ton amendment. There really SHOULD
not be any more delay in ratifying it
in both branches of the general as
sembly, than there was in Kentucky
the wettest of all states, where it wa
approvingly acted upon almost befor
the legislators were warm in thei
seats.
Don't let the liquor gang slip on

Germany is putting up It's biggest

The masses are thoroughly war weary.
The election at Bautzen is a proof of

the extent to which the people were

A socialist was elected by large ma

Germany Finds Situation
Created That Is Extremely

AT WAR WITH RUSSIA
BUT AFRAID TO SHOOT
People Of Central Empire and
Russia Are Rapidly Getting
Beyond All Control
By Robert J. Bender

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Feb. 1S.-Russian chaos
and President Wilson's "dayhght dip
lomacy" have thrown the battling ma.
tions of the central powers and the re-
publics of old Russia into confusion and
dismay.
History fails to record a parallel to
the situation existing today in the old
world.
Ukrainia, at peace with the central
powers, is at war with the Petrograd
Bolsheviki.
Germany, floundering in a situation
she has created by trying to effect a
dominant German peace over Russia,
finds herself at war with the Bolshe-
Vi1i-and afraid to shoot.
Austria, disagreeing with the German
annexationist plans toward Russia, re-
fuses to align her soldiers in any mil
itary demonstration against the Bolshe-
wiki.
Fear lest the Austria people sway
Count Czernin against the German junk
ers, under appeal of President Wilson,
gives the kaiser pause in his next step.
Russia, anxious for a just peace, finds
herself at war with factions in her own
country. The powers, facing possible
collapse of the Bolsheviki, doesn t know
with whom to deal
The reins of the Lenine- Trotsky re-
gime appear slackening. Numerous out
breaks of increasing violence are oc-
curing.
Sailors of the Russian Baltic fleet,
first to embrace the original Petrograd
revolution and then to jump to the Boil
sheviki, have broken away to complete
anarchy and are carrying fire and blood
through Finland.
DIR. Ignatius, Finnish representative
here, today said cables showed the Bal
tic sailors are now Hbeyond control of
the Petrograd Bolsheviki.' - Their incen-
diarism and looting are at the root of
tht new reign of terror sweeping Fin
land, he said.
"These rowing, disorganized bands of
marauders have killed their officers and
refused to obey the orders of the Pet
rograd Bolsheviki. They have stripped
the country bare of provisions and pIun-
dered ruthlessly."
And to further discredit the BSlshe
wiki, officials of the Kerensky regime
in Washington have issued a pamphlet
for circulation among the Russian CON
sular agents here and for guidance of
this and other government officials.

The captain laughed and replied:

the ugly, jagged fragment of a bomb
which hit door two ftet from his head.
He told how he lay helpless in bed,
gazing at the sky through a window
and saw the livid 'traeer'' bullets from

ward the hospital. He heard bombs
whistle earthward like the roar of shells
