as a matter of fact his committeeJ

lied with standing committees that do
no work, whereas the basis should be
efficiency. with the people getting full
value for every bit of legislative ma
chinery that exists As it is now,
these dead committees are nothing
more than their chairmen who con-

The parliamentary system operates,
Fuller said, to make the average
member little more than a figurehead.
There should be such a reconstruc-

member a legitimate chance to repre-

public interest of the whole country"

Itself to any ship Of state. Could
there be a more appropriate time TO
initiate economy and efficiency in our

Pigs and Peanuts.
From the Progressive Farmer.

Carefully conducted experiments have
shown that an acre of land producing so
bushels of peanuts will, if grazed by hogs,
produce about 400 pounds of pork. With
hogs at SIS hundred and peanuts $1.75
a bushel some farmers in peanut growing
sections are inquiring as to which is the
more profitable, to harvest the nuts and sell
them, or to turn them into hogs at SIS.
In the first place the cost of growing pea
nuts has not, in our judgment increased
as much as has the price of hogs. If this
be true, and farmers could ever afford to
raise peanuts for hogs to harvest why can
they not do so now? Of course, it may pay
better in cash this fall to harvest peanuts at
$1.75 bushel than to fatten hogs on them,
provided one can harvest them. Our idea
is that when farmers have planted all the
peanuts they can harvest then they should
plant enough more to supply the hogs. Of
course, some hogs can be fattened on the
fields where peanuts are harvested and that
may be enough peanuts for the hogs of
some farmers.
1t is the old, old question of whether live
stock pays. One can generally show on pa
per that it pays better to sell the feeds, to
sell cotton and buy foodstuffs, and so on
clear down the line and yet the best crops
are raised, as a rule, on the farms where
livestock are kept, and there is no manner
of doubt but the livestock farmers-those
who balance their farming with livestock
will average higher financially, socially and
mentally.
In the above case, by harvesting and SELL
ing the crop the farmer gets $275O more
for the nuts, but we are not sure but the
harvesting, marketing and plant foods re-
moved justify that difference. In so bushels
or 1900 pounds of Spanish peanuts there
IS about AZ pounds of nitrogen. If 80 per
cent is left on the land when the peanuts
are grazed by hogs, or 38 pounds, this is
worth 35 cents a pound, 1880.
| We are not sure that it will pay to har-
vest peanuts with hogs rather than harvest
them and sell as peanuts; but we are sure
that it is profitable business to grow pea
nuts for hogs if you can get $50 worth of
pork off an acre.

WOMEN'S GOOD WORK.

The women of the civic committee
have done the dear old town real ser
vice the past week by the cleanup move
ment. 1t is always in order to keep town
clean and in good sanitary condition, and
notably at the approach of summer. The
ladies who led and co-operated in this time
ly work merit and will have the cordial ap-
probation of the community. Some of these
ladies gave to the work an amount of per-
sonal effort, of sacrifice that is in all re-
spects commendable because of its practical
value, and its usefulness They worked for
others, for Dawson rather than for them
selves. Some people, of course, will lack APP
probation, forget all about 1t, but there are
many, dear ladies, who will accord you the
credit you deserve. So, if you were ignor-
ed here, or your patience and temper tried
there, forget about such experiences, and
reflect that your effort was timely and of
community good.

Unclean Money.
From the Moultrie Observer.

The Thomasville Times-Enterprise says
that complaint is often made there of dirty
money" meaning paper money that is worn
and filthy in appearance. Naturally, the
northern people who come to Thomasville
for the winter complain about the money
being so filthy, because they never see any
thing like it in the north. One is never
handed the dirty stained and torn paper
bills by northern bank or northern hotel
that he gets handed out down here in South
Georgia.
If there is another section of the whole
United States that handles such filthy money
as is handled down here we have never Wis
tied it and have never heard of it. The cur
rency that one is often handed here when
he presents check on the bank is so foul
in appearance that he feels a hesitancy in
putting it in his pocket. No decent man or
woman would think of handling a rag or
a piece of paper that they found on the
streets in the condition of the worst of this
bad money, and yet the very best people
are forced to take this dirty, germ carrying
disease breeding stuff, and put it in their
pockets, handle it often when there is no
opportunity for washing their hands, and
subject themselves to the diseases that may
be so easily transmitted through this vile
currency.
1t ought not to be.
In the first place banks ought not to re-
ceive this filthy money onA deposit Mer
chants should not accept it in trade. The
man who permits his moeny to stay where
it will become lOathsome in appearance
should lose it.
In the next place money should be sent
in occasionally from this section and retir-
ed and new money issued.

DAWSONs CANNING FACTORY.

Now that canning factory for Dawson
is assured the farmers of Terrell county will
do well to put in liberal acreages of sweet
potatoes, beans, tomatoes and other vege-
tables. 1t is expected that the new plant will
be ready for operation by June list, and it
is to be one of large capacity, running
something like fifteen thousand cans per
day and handling, for instance, six hundred
bushels of sweet potatoes every ten hours.
1t will be readily understood just how
much an establishment of this kind will be
worth to the people of Terrell county. Ev-
cry year thousands of dollars worth of veg
etables go to waste because there is no ad-
vantageous market near at hand, and be-
cause no ready means existed for taking
care of the enormous surplus. The canning
factory assures to the truck farmer a good
price for his vegetables, none of which will
have to be thrown away, and enables the
tiller of small acreage to get more money
out of his land by the cultivation of prod
ucts for canning purposes than he could in
any other way.
Soil experts who have visited Terrell
county say that the land is admirably suited
for trucking. With facilities for taking
care of what is raised there is no reason why
this section should not become one of the
foremost vegetable growing areas of the
country. 1t is undoubtedly the logical place
for vegetable canneries, rather than other
places in the north and east, where the ad-
vantages of climate and soil are not nearly
so marked. And yet, the canning industry
is in its infancy with US. We believe a
change is coming, and there is an indication
that some of the large manufacturers of
cans and canning supplies see in this Sec
ton wonderful chance for development
of their trade and are undertaking to slim
ulate the canning industry in Georgia and
other states of the South. Such stimulation
and development will not only rebound
greatly to the farmers profit insofar as the
immediate profits he will realize from the
sale of his products are concerned, but they
will add substantially to the value of farm
ing lands. 1t is hardly necessary to point
out how much more land will be worth
when ten acres of it will yield a good liv-
ing by truck gardening, when it would re-
quire five times as much acreage in other
crops to do that
Aside from the consideration of what
there is in it in the way of individual prof
its the matter of patriotism is involved.
These are times when production and con-
servation of foodstuffs are urged upon all
the people 1t is our duty to add to the sup
ply in every way possible The government
is STRONGLY urpinp tho iunortanca Of Noor
ming all you can" To insure to the new
factory the required supply of vegetables
will be rendering patriotic service.

THE SHIPPING QUESTION

The shipping problem is to construct
ocean tonnage faster than the submarine
and gales can sink it. The shipping ques-
ton is whether we are ever likely to COM
mence that.
1t is not a new discovery that ships con-
stitute the most vital factor in the war.
That was evident nearly a year ago, and the
governments of England and America franz
ed their policies accordingly. America form
ed a shipping board and feet corporation,
putting Maj. Gen. Goethals at the head of
the latter and William Denman, political
appointee, at the head of the former, with
power over Goethals. A grand program of
shipbuilding was laid out. Goethals started
to put it into effect. Denman meddled. Moth
ing was done Goethals quit. Then came
Capps and Harris and subsequently, Hurley.
Mr.. Hurley is now chairman of the shipping,
board. We still have the grand program.
We have, either built or building, the ship
yards. We seem to be in prospect of get
ting the labor. The question of housing the
laborers has at last been given attention. By
and by, from all the confusion, may come
ships.
Some people say that in 1918 ships ag-
gregating 100000 tons will be built in
America. Some say 10000 Some 3,O0O,-
600. Some 100000. The submarines last
year sank about 100000. England's ton
mage production last year was close to g.
100000 She will do better this year.
France and Italy are out of the reckoning.
The submarines may be reduced in effect
iveness, and they may not. 1t will be an
achievement to hold them even. We speak
now of tonnage shortage. Unless production
and conversion is more speedily helpful than
anyone has reason to expect we are just al
the beginning of the shortage just at the
dawn of the crisis. All of the so-called mud
dies of army administration are as nothing
compared to the muddle we have made Of
ship building.
These things are told not to cause depres
sion. They imply not gloomy spirit. What
ever the failure of the past it can be forgiv
en- and forgotten. The only failure that il
objectionable the only failure American,
have right to insist shall not be made, i.
the failure in the future when the pas
points the way to avoid it.
The people do not know whether Hurle!
is a good chief or punk one. They hav,
taken too much heretofore on faith to ap
ply the spirit of religion to this business
any longer We ardently hope that he de
livers the goods We can't think of any
thing in the gift of the American people too
good for Hurley if he does.
1t would be fine thing for the country
if the reinsurance could be given from
some trustworthy quarter that America
in shipbuilding way, is now going to max,
things hum. 1t would do good in Germany
too.

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION WANTED.

From the Pembroke Enterprise.

dom ever see the results of their investiga-
ton Paper continues to cost the same old
price, and subscribers are just as negligent
about paying up their subscription as when
it was selling for two cents a pound. Why

why it is that some people will pay all their
other bills except their subscription bill?
