The Star thinks it is high old time
that the auditors report of city ac-
counts was published. This report was
made two or three months ago, and
nobody knows what's in it except the
auditor and the city officials. It's very
true that it is on file in the clerks of
fee but not one voter in a hundred
will go there to read it. The Star will
print the report if the council will pay
for the typesetting. It is not right to
withhold such information from the
people. We do not believe there is any
thing wrong in city affairs now, but
there may be some time, and if a good
report can be covered up now, bad
one may be later on. Let's have the
report printed, Mr.. Council. The peo-
pie want to see it.

The city manager makes one cor
rection in our article Of yesterday on
the expense of the electric light
plant. He says he had made allow
ance in his estimate for the amount
which President Nash says should be
credited to the plant for city lighting.
This makes the deficit of $500 every
thirty days concrete instead of abb
stract. 1t might also be remember.
ed that while it is all right to credit
the plant with doing work for the
city that the city would have to pay
for if it used current from a private
corporation, that it costs the city
something, all the same-costs not so
much for current as for wear and tear
on the city's material and work by the
city's men. Six hundred dollars a
month would be very conservative
estimate for the deficit, and it's time
something was done.

0 We fathers of our city, We grave men
who rule this town,
We, the people pray your pity, hear
our plea and gain renown,
Rise in strength, We Reverend Sen
Tors" let your duty bring to pass
Change, and you shall have our
praises; give US gas, oh give US
gas.
We are paying out our dollars to a
thing without a soul,
Called legal corporation, and they
have us in hole.
We're not getting what we pay for,
we complain, but ah, alas,
Our complaints amount to nothing
give US gas, oh, give US gas.
They divide things fifty-ifty, half
poor gas and half bad smell,
And the odors in our kitchens make
US think of that called-well-
Make us think of things not pious,
make US storm and rage-alas,
All our ragings come to nothing
give US gas, oh, give us gas.
We've endured the fumes of sulphur,
we have sneezed and choked and
COugn6Q
Many months and months so weary.
Haven't we had quite enough?
Rise and smite this corporation, not
with jawbone of an ass,
Make them give us what we pay for;
give us gas, oh, give US gas.
Not the gas of idle talking, long dis
cussion bringing naught,
But a gas of good combustion, gas to
get our dinners hot,
Gas that measures up to standard.
freed from sulphur, that will pass
Any reasonable inspection; give us
gas, just decent gas.
Are you sleeping on your duty, OF
does fear both great and strong
Make you let this corporation rob and
cheat US all so long?
Then resign and let some others take
your place and bring to pass
Rightful service to us people, that will
give US decent gas. A Victim.

FROM THE DAUGHTER
OF A FARMER

The following is worth the consid-
Grafton of some of our town folks:
Editor Star: / clipped this piece
out of the Atlanta Constitution. viii
you please print it in the Star? It
gives my views exactly. If the ladies
in town would do more of their own
work we could have more help on the
farm. With most of our boys gone
and most Of the negroes working in
town it makes it hard for the farmers
wife and daughter.
A Farmers Daughter.
York, Fla, April q.
A Farmers Wife Speaks Her Mind
Mr.. Editor: If you will allow me
space / viii drop in a few words on
how we Americans can win the war.
We want to win and must win, but
it can't all be done by economy of the
farmers and farmers wives. There
has been a lot of talking, speaking
and writing on the subject of econo-
my, all of which has been addressed
to the wives of farmers. There are not
many farmers wives who have not
done their part and have been all the
white
1t is springtime and there is great
demand for farm hands, and we, the
farmers wives, can take our babies
to the field and set them down under
bush in cracker box and hoe back
and forth while two or three little
ones play around the box. This is
often seen on the farm.
And there is another scene, often
witnessed in the cities, and that is a
nurse in the back yard with the chill
dren while the mothers are at card
parties and receptions, or some other
social function. | do not know any
thing about those societies, but | read
about them. They do a lot to win the
war, they say; but they could do more;
they could send their colored nurses
out in the country and help US farm
ers' wives work on the farms, and at
tend to their own children like | have
to do. They could do their own cook
ing and send their cooks to the farms
where they are much needed to raise
foodstuffs. They could clean their own
houses, wash their own clothes and
the washerwoman and the scrubwom-
an could be used on the farms. Try
this for three months. There are thou
sands of men and women who are do
ing nothing but having good time
just like there was no war.
1t makes me tired to read piece
of advice to farmers wives. After we
have finished our breakfast, cleaned
up our house, MIXED and churned, fed
our chickens and pigs, taken our box
and babies to the field, hoed until we
think it is IL o'clock, take up our load
and go back to the house to hurry
dinner by the time the plow hands get
in. Wash days come when it is too wet
to work, and ironing Saturday after
noon. And think after we have gone
through all this day after day we
might have meat or biscuit, if we
raise it. And if any one has to do
without it let it be the ones that do
not work. | am not trying to run the
governments business, but say if all
the nurses, maids, buffers, cooks,
chauffeurs and corner loafers were
sent to the farms and the soldiers to
the front, we could win the war and
have plenty to eat at home and to feed
our soldiers. But the farmers cannot
feed themselves and soldiers and all
these idlers. Let's everybody work
Let's all do something to win the war
and save our country.
