SHOOTING THE DUMMY.

Thirty minutes was ample time for
the president to decide on an answer
to the peace feeler Of the Austrian
government.
Austria being a servile, abject vas
sal of Germany, this so-called peace
proposal was nothing more nor less
than another political move by the
Kaiser, without merit, without sin
cerity.
It deserved the abrupt and emphatic
answer that the president sent
Said Mr.. Wilson:
THE government of the United
states feels that there is only one re-
Fly which it can make to the sug'
gestion of the Imperial Austro-Hun-

THE PRESIDENT AND THE
STRIKERS.

The edict of President Wilson to
the striking machinists comes like a
voice from heaven to the real Amer
ioan workingman all over the land.
That ultimatum is masterpiece OF
logical light and reason for all those
selfish ones who can see nothing in
this war but a chance to squeeze out
easy money either from the Govern
ment or from their fellow-citizens.
Such strikes are reasonable at any
rate. for they certainly are always
to the benefit of the enemy nation,
and the strikers use that very know
ledge as their weapon to gain their
demands, for they know their brothers
who are over there fighting for them
must get supplies, and they take that
mean and disgraceful advantage to
try for more and still more money.
But we have a leader whose pen acts
like a searchlight, and wherever he
throws a fash of it there is some
thing revealed to every one concern

ehanlsts had better be studied anc

ones. wherever they may be, who

HARRIS ON THE JOB.

The report comes from Washington
that Senator-elect William J. Harris
is going to spend practically all of
his time in the national capital from
now until next March the fourth
when he takes the oath of Office
In other words, Mr.. Harris will be
up there representing Georgia some
what in the capacity of a quasi or
ex-officio senator-the same work,
in truth, hat he performed in be-
half OF his state for almost the last
year 81 lis stay there as a member
of the federal trade commission
There IS no obligation resting upon
Mr.. Harris to devote his time and
energies. without remuneration, to
thus looking after the interests of his
constituents and his entire state dur
ing the term before he goes into Of
fee, but it is characteristic of his ma
ture and of his concern for the af-
fairs of Georgia that makes him take
this responsibility and this work upor
himself.
Mr.. Harris is already in Washing
ton for the purpose of comforting with
the president in regard to the price
fixing on cotton. When the situation
over this matter became critical, he
gave up his vacation, to which he was
entitled after his strenuous campaign
ing. and FASTENED to Washington to
personally interest himself in the
matter. 1t will be recalled that it
was to Mr.. Harris that the president
gave the assurance that nothing
would be done detrimental to the best
interests of the cotton planters.
Six months yet remain before Hard
wick steps out and Harris goes in,
but when the change actually takes
place there will be little difference
SO far as Mr.. Harris is concerned,
with the exception that he will have
senatorial privileges that he does not
yet enjoy. AS concerns activity and
influence it will be the same with
him next year as it is now.

AMERICUS TAKES A VENTURE.

Rotary has come tc be so much OF
an urban institution in America, and
consequently so well understood, that
it no longer has any fears of how
il may h, regarded in any commu-
ity. Its prime unselffshness, its
pure altr,ism and the fact that it al
ways prefers q help rather than to
lead, though never Sinking the lat
ter responsibility when placed on it,
are all admitted and conceded
wherever men have an intelligent
knowledge of the thing itself and the
work under its direction. Therefore
when there is a new club set up
somewhere close around it is an event
not only of first Importance to the
city so blessed but to the state as a
whole.
Americas has just been admitted to
the sisterhood of what we call Inter-
national Rotary with its city organi-
cations of men in practically all cities
of the British empire the American
republic and now, for a start, in some
of the Latin-American republics. 1T
will do Americas a great deal of good
to be in Rotary, and it will do Geor-
gia good to have so representative a
city in such service she has now
assumed. Not the least of all it will
do a great deal of good to the men
who are now in the club and who will
come in later.
Not the least incentive to great eff
forts by Americas Rotarians is the
magnificent showing the Albany club,
no longer the baby" has made within
its short enough existence, and in
that connection it was thoroughly in
harmony with the new spirit and
i5ealism for cooperation and team
work Rotary brings that when it
came time to choose a club to form
ally install the America club Albany, !
Ler closest Eus ness. commercial and
sporting rival was ordered to do the
JOB and rhe k!hany Rotarians jump

This would be of no moment to the
general run of people who make up

that Rotary means a good deal TO this
general run of folks whether the folks
in question realize it to any extent or
not. What every Rotary Club really
does is to play Big Brother to Its Own
Home Town, and every town can do
with a big brother like Rotary.-Ma-

SLIDING THE BEET TOPS.
Farmers Find Another Reason for
Growing Sugar seets-Actual Re
suits are Given.

The siloing OF beet tops is another
matter that should be brought forcibly
to the attention OF all beet growers.
Sufficient tops have been sliced in the
state Of Utah and Idaho this season to
thoroughly demonstrate that this is
one OF the most profitable items con
nected with the beet business. We
find there are about six to eight tons
of tops per acre. according to the
crop of beets. or about half as many
tons of tops as beets: two OF beet
tops sliced equal one ton of the very
best slfalfa hay. for feed to dairy
stock. beef cattle and sheep. II has
been demonstrated by Geo. w. Will
comb of Marysville. Idaho. that beet
top silage can he used with straw
for dairy purposes and the flow and
quality of milk is equal to that when
the best alfalfa hay is fed. This gen.
tleman states that he did not give his
cows a bite of hay during last winter
and has not done so to date this win
ter. but simply fed straw and beet
top silage. II works equally as well
for fattening beef and mutton. Five
acres of beet tops sliced. yielding six
tons per acre, or total OF thirty
tons. will feed and fatten 90 steers at
30 pounds per day. for one hundred
days. Ten to fifteen pounds of hay
per day would be sufficient with the
beet tops to feed to the steer II can
thus be seen that beet tops are worth
from $4,000 to $4,000 per acre. ac-
cording to the yields and prices OF
other feeds.
The proper ration for sheep would
be about three pounds of beet top
silage and one-half pound of alfalfa
hay daily.
In addition to the sliced beet tops
there is the pulp and syrup: pulp can
be used by growers who live near the
factory to haul pulp. II has been es.
timated that the by-products of the
factory and the sliced beet tops from
an acre of beets will feed one and
