Publishers Must Do More to
Help Uncle Sam Win the War

War has made another demand on
the publishing business, this time in
the form of an order issued by the
United States government for IS
per cent. reduction in the amount of
paper consumed.
In appealing to the publishers to
reduce the size Of their papers and
also to eliminate all wasteful prac-
tees the war industries board Of the
government says it is absolutely es-
sential that the consumption of paper
be cut during the war If the 5 per
cent. reduction now ordered does not
bring the expected results more dras-
tic regulations will be issued and en-
forced after Oct. /, 1918.
1t is estimated the Is per cent. re-
duction will mean a saving of more
than 100000 tons of paper, to say
nothing of the saving in coal and in
freight, a very considerable item at
a time when every ounce of material
and every inch of carrying space is
essential to the winning of the war.
The war industries board is also
asking the public to save every kind
of paper-writing, wrapping, tissue,
cardboard and all varieties of paper
products. A notice issued by the
board says: every pound of paper
wasted represents not only the waste
of valuable materials, such as coal,
pulp, chemicals, etc, but also the

The publishing business is suffer
ing greater hardships than any other
industry in the country. The prices
Of paper and all other materials used
have doubled within the last three
years, and wages are constantly ad-
vancing. On top Of all this came the
big increase in postal rates, which
went into effect July l last. This is
a part of the federal war tax act,
Increasing the rate per pound on
reading matter, as second class mail,
and putting a zone charge on the adj
vertising portion of publications, a
graduated scale of postage based on
weight and distance carried. The
publications most affected by this tax
are those of national circulation
Hundreds of publications have
been killed by the enormous increas-
es in expenses and the high postal
rates are now putting many others

cations that are surviving have pass

MANS LEG BURIED
AFTER EIGHTEEN YEARS
WAS LOST WHEN FROZEN IN A
GLAZIER AND SNAPPED OFF
LIKE AN ICICLE.

In the cemetery at Goschenen, in
Switzerland, a strange burial took
place at the end of the 18th century,
The coffin, small one, decently and
decorously consigned to earth, con-
tanned part of a human leg, boot,
some shreds Of clothing, and one
franc, fifty confines of Swiss money.
The unusual ceremony was the con-
Guiding chapter of a sad history that
began on the RhOne glacier Is years
before.
In the summer of 1882 the Burgo-
master of Goschenen and two friends
undertook the ascent of the glacier.
All three lost their lives, and the
bodies were found a week later froz-
en- stiff. That of the Burgomaster was
stuck fast in the crevasse, and in
dragging it forth the frozen right
leg broke off like a snapped icicle, and
fell into the blue depths of the ifs
sure. The poor mutilated body was
laid away in the cemetery with every
honor, for the mayor had been great
ly loved and respected in his little
community.
The peasants say, "Seven years the
glacier grows; seven years she
melts" and in melting she honestly
brings to the mouth of her river all
that has fallen down her icy, blue
throat; a belief that, although partly
fanciful, contains much that is true.
BY this strange operation of nature
the leg of the mayor Of Goschenen
came to light after Is years. The
boot was still on the foot; some rags
of clothing chung to the leg; even the
trifing sum Of money in the I'M
fortunate mans trousers pocket was
honestly returned by the glacier,
which keep nothing not its own.
After IS years the leg was buried
beside its master.

RAISE MORE CORN

TERRELL is AMONG COUNTIES
RAISING 100 CARLOADS OF
HOGS A YEAR.

There's an old saying in the middle
west that a farmer ''raises more corn
to feed more hogs to buy more land
to raise more corn to feed more
hogs" The hog up there is frequent
ly called the mortgage litter" Here
is Georgia he is fast becoming a dis
turber of the old time credit system.
In 1910 the census showed So

cheney OF home-raised meat with
some to sell. The counties were

1t will be observed that only two
of these counties are in north Geor-
gla-Rabun and Towns. All of the
others are in a warm climate; some
of them in a temperature where
butchering without ice is a gamble on
the weather.
What change has taken place
since then. Today there are rs coun-
ties that are producing one hundred
or more cars of hogs a year. In these
counties are large pig club enroll
ments. AS a rule a dollar, under
normal conditions in the United
States, changes hands % times dur

ty only about two times during a

N S truck manufacturer, in nationwide
n contract with all phases of motor truck
transportation, this company sees grave
menace to the American public through the
lack of well-constructed roads.
With the industrial machinery of America
harnessed for war and depending upon motor
trucks for constant flow of materials, the
failure to maintain existing roads, or to build
them of lasting construction, delaying the
movement of war supplies, is national peril
equivalent to giving aid to the enemy.
Wars ramifcations reach every city and
hamlet. The peace road of today may
become war road tomorrow. After the
war it again becomes peace road whose
strength must be equal to tremendous high
way traffic. It is imperative, therefore, that
we build permanent roads capable of standing
heavy traffic and they must be built from
state line to state line to connect all centers
of production and population.
Railroads Cannot Carry the Load
War has added enormously to peace traffic.
Highways must relieve the railroads and
highways cannot unless they are built to en-
dure heavy trucking.
Last winter, more factories would have
shut down for lack of coal, large cities would
have suffered from food famine, and war
exports would have been retarded if motor

trucks had not been able to operate from
country to city, from inland to seaboard. But,
all of this assistance was limited by the
scarcity of good roads.
No Use TO Produce Unless
You Can Transport
The transport arteries of the nation must
be Fept open. That is a war essential. The
100000 motor trucks in this country will not
suffice unless each renders the utmost ser
vice. Trucks must run faster; carry heavier
loads and, wherever possible, return loads.
They must consume less fuel they must use
fewer men; they must keep going perform
ances which are limited by road conditions.
"WOrk or Fight
This applies to machiney even more than
it does to men, because machinery multi
plies men. A wide expansion of truck ser
vice on our highways would release armies
of men who could be better employed.
Permanent Roads, not temporary repairs,
are needed. We have two million miles of
road and only one percent of them are per-
manently improved. Think of i'll

The scorers made their error

scorers announced De Palma was a

leader. While this was questioned
at the time by several in the Off

Throughout the race the Packard
set the fastest pace of any of the
