Then Macbeth continues:

A DESERVED BOOST.

The pay of the Americas policemen
has been raised none too soon.
The Times-Recorder advocated it
several months ago, in response to a
general public sentiment in favor of
giving more money to the guardians of
tie peace.
Only the state of the city's finances
at the time undoubtedly delayed ac-
ton by council, but now it has come it
is more than timely.
Three members of the force have
quit in recent days, before they know
G raise was coming to them, and others
would have resigned rather than con-
tinue to work for the small pay for
merly given them.
A policeman is worth ninety dollars
a month easily, if he only patrols his
beat. Anything less than that is less
than a living wage-and the laborer
has always been worthy of his hire.
The Times-Recorder feels that the
people of Americas are entirely in ac-
cord with the city council, and that
there will be appreciation manifested
ia all circles over the action of the
body in increasing the pay of the po-
licemen.

THE CRITICAL QUESTION.

The farmers have been stimulated to
greater agricultural activity.
The people have been awakened to
the seriousness OF the eating situa-
ton,
Excellent markets are either pro-
yided or assured, for nearly every
thing farmer can raise
But the biggest problem of all, upon
which the success of the whole scheme
depends, is that of adequate labor.
The farmers in this part of Georgia
are unable to obtain sufficient help to
operate their farms on the basis they
would like Planting has delayed, and
acreage has been reduced, because of
labor scarcity
Much apprehension has been re-
lieved by the announcement that the
next draft will be postponed until the
farmers are able to handle their crops
at least, that farm labor will not be
drafted for the present
What is needed, howeve, is more
labor. 1t is needed urgently and to
make the proposed farming program
certain of attainment the farmers must
be provided with more help.
A farm labor survey will be under
taken in Georgia this month, and in
each county, under the direction of the
Council of Defense, a labor employ
ment bureau, designed to bring laborer
and employer together, will be main
tanned. This is calculated to relieve
the situation to some extent, provided
the plan is not deferred too long. The
seasons will not wait, and the farmer
must know pretty soon just what he
can do.

TURNING PUBLIC OPINION.

Local public opinion seems to be
about the most effective force in deal
ing with boarding among consumers.
Some of this boarding is due to ig
norance of food regulations, some to
habit, as in the case of rural fami-
lilies which put years supply of fiou.
and other staples in the cellar; some
to attempts to "profiteer," and in still
other cases boarding is chargeable to
willfulness and a mistaken notion of
independence.
In Howell, Mich, recently citizen
boasted that he had 800 pounds of
sugar in his home and would like to
see some one get it, Whereupon
County Food Administrator Fish
beck obliged him by confiscating all
but 25 pounds, turning 100 pounds of
the hoard over to the Livingston coun-
ty infirmary, which had been without
sugar for several weeks!
In Eaton county, Mich, Administra-
tor H. T. McGrath found farmer
having received 800 pounds of flour
in exchange for wheat, and ordered
him to hold the supply subject to
further instructions.
Some fragrant cases of boarding by
families recently came to light in
North Carolina, where State Federal
Food Administrator Henry A. Page
has relied upon public opinion as we'll
as the food law in Strengthening our
tangles. Consumers who had pur-
chased large quantities of flour and
sugar were instructed to return them
to merchants, limiting themselves to
maximum quantities permitted afmi-
lies under local regulations, and as
surplus supplies were taken back to
there was much good-na-
tured chatting about boarding"

turning surplus -four to merchants, ca
rying back ali nexcess of 100 pounds
per family, and have reported this ac-
ton to DR.. Stratton D. Brooks, fed
eral food administrator 70 Oklahoma,
with the explanation that purchases
were made before they understood the
desires of the food administration.
1t is just such instances as these
that reflect the turning of public opin
ion, which at first was not disposed
in some quarters to treat the food
administration rulings with due re-
gard. However, the determination of
the officers to enforce the law, cou-
pied with the inherent patriotism of
the American people asserting itself,
has nof brought about a state of pub
lie mind which is almost entirely fav-
orable to the future success of the
food laws.

TIGHTEN THE BELT.

From now until next harvest the
world VIII tighten It's belt.
The Allied couit ie in Europe will
do it IA meter of sfIm necessity,
and We Americans will do it as a
moral obligation
If all the food in the Allied coun-
tries and North America were brought
together now it would come decidedly
short of feeding the nations on a
reace-time basis
We have the balance of food. The
Allied nations have the present bal
ance of fighting strength. Food is
fuel for fighters It does not belong
to us, but to them, and we know this
and will see that they get it.
These things being so, it is inter-
esting to see an industry like that
manufacturing and distributing soft
drinks react the situation
Just now soft drinks are passing
through the dull part of their year,
but manufacturers and dealers are
looking a head three months to the
beginning Of hot weather. Some of
them wonder "How far will the Food
down nonessentials 2" Others argue
that, even if the Food Administration
pledged the public to decreased con-
sumption of soft drinks, the public
would not keep the pledge when hof
weather came By far the greater
section of this industry, and the wiser,
however, studying the facts with a
view to sane adjustment and con.
servation.
The Food Administration is not cut
! ting out "nonessentials"-th has al
ready been done by the world shortage
of food. They do not have to be cut
ont, because they have disappeared.
AS for keeping its pledges, the
American public has thus far shown a
very high standard of honor in the
matter o. conservation, and it's eff
ficiency in saving increases as fast
as it understands the needs and learns
the facts To assume that there will
be normal supplies of sugar, cream,
milk, ice, and other materials used
in this industry, or that the weakness
of human nature can be counted upon,
is to build hopes upon an absolutely
false basis. The nation has already
| frightened it's belt on wheat, beef, pork,
fats, sugar, fuel, electricity, trans
portation. 1t will draw its belt a
notch tighter when the soft drink
season opens-it both wants to and
will have to-
Such being the facts, it behooves
the drink manufactures and distribu-
tor to practice economy and substi-
tuition in every possible way. Waste
Of soda fountain ingredients must be
stopped, and business must be switched
to fruit juices and other conserva-
ton beverages, as well as to sales of
fresh fruits. The manufacturer and
dealer who drifts blindly into the COM
| ing season hoping that things will be
'as usual is certain to find himself
in a strange world. Those who look
ahead however, prepare for the new
conditions, and adopt vigorous con-
structive program of teamwork in
conservation, and the pushing of sub
stitutes, will be following the wise
course.
