HEADQUARTERS OF

TALK OF OTHER CANDIDATES IS
ALL POLITICAL CAMOUFLAGE-
NO CHANCE AT ALL FOR w. G.
BRANTLEY TO RUN.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 90-If it was
not plain before, it certainly has be-
come apparent by this time that all
the talk of new senatorial candidates
going the rounds is the camouf1age
work of adroit politicians to muddy the
waters in the hope of finally electing
a senator who can be depended upon
to further their interests.
The friends of William ]. Harris,
whose headquarters here are being
crowded every day by visitors from
all parts of the state, are confident.
however, that the trick is fooling no.
body except those responsible for it,
and certainly is not interfering in any
manner with Mr.. Harris strength,
which they declare is growing every
where, and especially in south Geor-
gia.
The latest camoufiage effort con-
slsts in an attempted boom for Will
liam G. Brantley Aside from the
fact that he does not live in Georgia
which would seem to be a sufficiently
good reason why he could not be-
come a candidate, and aside from the
further fact that he has stated himself
that he has no idea of running, and
aside from the fact that he draws a
very large salary as leading counsel
for the Association of American Rail
ways, his 'boom" apepars to be Great
ing veritable whirlwind of enthus-
iasm.
If the senatorial incubator keeps on
Matching out new aspirants, the race
will soon take on the aspect of a Lib
erty Loan campaign, instead of pol
itical contest, as it looks as if an invi-
tation to speak for the loan is regard
ed by some as certificate of entrance
into the senatorial ring.

SAVE THE SUGAR
How A Milwaukee Woman Helped
Avert Sugar Famine in
the Early Days

Milwaukee, Wis-The scarcity of
sugar during the early days of the set
tlement of Milwaukee was one of the
chief difficulties with which merchants
and grocerymen had to contend. When
ever they obtained possession of a
small allotment, they carefully guard
ed it to the exclusion of all other ar
ticles. One of the old histories of Mil
waukee, now in the Wisconsin Histor-
ical Library at Madison, tells the fol-
lowing story which occurred during
the early days of that city. During
a heavy rainstorm that came up sud-
denly, one Jesse Epps, a groceryman,
was making a desperate effort to save
his pies, cakes, fruit, and other ar
ticles that were on display in front of
his store His wife, large French
woman, seeing her husbands plight,
came to his aid, and mounting a large
cake Of maple sugar, stood like rock
sheltering the most priced possession
of the store She stood there thru
the whole storm, and with her skirts
reaching down over the sugar, kept
it as dry as gunpowder. Because of
this signal bravery of Mrs. Epps a
sugar famine was thus averted.

WISCONSIN
COUNTY NAMED
FOR NEW YORK
CHANCELLOR

Madison, Wis.-Among the Wiscon-
sin counties bearing the name of dis
tinguished members Of the bar is that
of Walworth, organized in 1886. Ac-
cording to the records now in pos
session Of the Wisconsin State His
torical Society, it was Colonel Samuel
F. Phoenix, founder Of the town of
Delavan, who suggested that the
county be named in honor of Chancel-
lor Reuben H. Walworth of the state
Of New York. Walworth was the last
chancellor of that state, serving from
1928 to 1848. The chaneery court was
abolished at the close Of his term. He
died in 1867, after having gained a
great reputation as an equity jurist.
He was an ardent champion of the
temperance movement.

CAN'T BE MIXED

Politics and Red Cross must not be
mixed.
That statement comes direct from
the War Council Of the American Red
Cross, at Washington, and applies to
everybody connected with the chapters
as well as the higher organization.
1t means that if anybody at present
officially connected with the Red Cross
wants to run for publi$ofice, he or
she must resign from the Red Cross.
The reasons for this drastic course
will be apparent to everyone. The
Red Cross must maintain it's non-par-
tisan, non-political character inasmuch
as it is supported by all citizens re-
gardless of party affiliations.
The approaching elections are the
first general elections since this coun-
try entered the war and the War
Council is acting well in advance to
assure the proper conduct by all Red
Cross workers.

SACRIFICE THE
RIGHT WAY

There are two ways in which we
subscribe to liberty bonds, or two ways
in which we pay our taxes. One is
the right way and the other is the
wrong way. The right way of sub
scribing to the liberty bonds is to sac
rifice in some other expenditure in or
der to buy them. If, for instance. we
give up the purchase Of a pleasure
automobile and put the same sum that
we would otherwise have put into the
purchase of that automobile into the
purchase of a liberty bond, we have
done our duty in the full sense of the
word, because we have not only given
to Uncle Sam the funds but we have
gotten out of his way in industry, and
the same labor and capital which
would have made my pleasure car
will make a motor truck. But if we
decide that we will not give up that
pleasure car and at the same time
oiiAiih CiAdb VIC SesiA DG DdGIIOIlC WibDOuC
any sacrifice, and subscribe to liberty
bonds by going to the bank and say
ing Here, l have not got the money
/ am not willing to give up my pleas
ure car but if you will lend me the
money l will lend it to Uncle SAM"
if, in other words, we lend by borrow
ing, we cheat ourselves by the thought
that we are really helping to finance
the war. In a sense we are, and if
there is no better way we must do
some borrowing in order to lend. If,
however, we do this without any
thought of sacrificing from our con-
sumption, without any thought of even
paying up our debt at the bank after
ward, by following our subscription
by saving if the subscription has not
been preceded by saving, we are do
ing very wrong. And if we comfort
ourselves with the thought that, as
the advertisers say, we ought to en-
courage the making of pleasure cars
keep business as usual, we are guilty
of fallacy as well as a lack of patri-
otism.
