Tor Hoover at Washington:
There is likely to be i'll the next
few days and perhaps Tor SOME time
thereafter temporary scarcity ul

This is due not 10 lack of supplies Of

force this order. You will also IN

dia;rly through the press, the local

You should also give notice in Il sim
liar way 10 retail dealers in meats

WHY THROW IT AWAY?

If you have the proper apprecia-
ton of your ballot as a citizen of
your state and county, you will want
toweigh carefully each of the men
who are asking for public Office at
your hands. If you know the value
of your vote, you will not care to
throw it away when you cast it, 1t
ought to be made to count for some
thing. 1t ought at least to repre-
sent an intelligent disposition of the
matter from your point of view
Unless it does, your neighbor, who
one day or another, will have cause
to respect you and your public acts
a great deal less. You cannot afford
to do anything that will detract from
the high respect your neighbor may
have for you.
1t is not crime to cast your bal
lot for a man who has no chance
in the world for election but it is
a manifestation Of mighty little re-
gard for the value of your vote when
when you deliberately throw it away
On some candidate who has no chance
in million of winning. Better not
cast your vote at all
The Dispatch has no desire to die
tate. Ii has no wish to make your
ticket for you but it does appeal
to you il your are made up in your
vote for Emmett Shaw for the Unit
ed States Senate. to weigh this mat
ter carefully before you do it. Har-
ris has splendid opportunity to carry

great deal of wood The next ques-
ton is where is this wood coming
from? ] beg to call attention to the
fact that beginning right at the in
corporate limits of the town we have
a vast quantity Of good wood going to
waste every year. 1t is well known
fact that there is lying on the ground
decaying and going to waste hundreds
of cords of good wood in the creek
swamp and almost no effort is being
made to save this wood. When it
first dries out it is fine fuel but in
three or four years it has decayed
and is worthless.
Before we come to suffer for fuel
the coming winter it is hoped that
somebody will establish a wood yard
for the salvage of this wood. | am
sure the owners of these tracts of
swamp will be glad to dispose of this
heretofore unused wood at reason
able prices.
Unless we look around and help
ourselves how can we expect the fuel
administration to help us?

TRUSTY SHOOTS MERCHANT

Buena Vista, Aug. 1S.-J. Albert
Hart, a prominent farmer and mer-
chant of Dranesville, was shot and
dangerously wounded this morning
by a trusty convict. The bullet en-
tered the left breast just below the
heart, ranged across the body, and
was removed by the surgeons just
above the right hip. Mr.. Hart was
rushed by automobile to Wise's hos
pital at Plains, where an operation
was performed. At last accounts he
was doing as well as could be expect
ed. The convict has been arrested
and carried out of the county for safe
keeping.

ABOUT FUEL SUPPLY.

Editor Dispatch:
l have noted with intereit your
frequent appeals with reference to
the fuel supply for the coming win
ter l fear that we are forgetting
last winter when We paid $500 a
load for wood and sometimes found
it mighty hard to get it at this price.
Our Fuel Administrator Mr. Kelly
advises that we received in Cordele
last seasn something like fifty cars
coal but this amount is something
like half of that we would have used
could we have gotten it. He further
states that it looks now as if we were
going to get only about half as much
as We did the last. This means that
we are going to be obliged to use a

ABOUT YOUR WOOD.

In another column of this issue
appears letter from Mr.. Hatcher
to the editor regarding the winter
fuel supply The writer touches
vital subject and those who have
made no preparations should do so.
1t is more than likely that we are
not going to have a coal supply this
winter. :.
The striking fact is this: We have
no right to claim a coal supply with
wood so close and easily gotten.
The coal is needed for the ships and
and for the railroads and steel furn-
aces and for the foundries and am
unition factories. The war cannot
go on with out it and so much more,
Is being used than was consumed
last year that it will be impossible
to get service even as good as it
was last year.
If we have the least spark of pa
triotism, we are going to make the
winter with a supply of wood in or
der to release our coal for other
needs. This is aimed at those who
paid the five dollars load for wood
last winter Better make prep
ration now. You will require no
small amount of good fuel for the
winter il you keep from suffering
from the cold weather.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1918-08-19

There are indications that cotton
seed products are to take quite tum-
BILE ON the claim that the stocks
0r1nght over from last season are un-
usually heavy. This is the one very
good story to tell to make low price
look reasonable at the very beginning
of the season One way the farmer
has OF getting even is not to sell
his seed They will come in for a
higher price later on. No need to
worry The world must have them
all it can get of them There is yet
no likelihood that they will not be
needed.
