There are those who, while agreeing that Ger
many must be soundly beaten and adequately pun
ished for the crimes of her leaders and soldiers,
are of the opinion that it will be out of the question
to impose indemnities after the They argue
that not only has Germany ruined other countries,
but that she also has ruined herself and will not
have the means with which to satisfy one 1.-THE or
the claims which be justly preferred against
her. This is superficial view.
One of Germany's vaunts not so long ago was
that while the entente allies we're heapng up load
of external debt by the purchase of food and mate
rail on a system of credits and by raising money
abroad the the fatherland was meeting from It's
own internal wealth and resources nearly all that
was needed for the prosecution of the This
iron ore which has been imported from Sweden
and the food and other necessarieS which it has
been possible to obtain in ever lessening quanti-
ties through Switzerland, Holland and the Scan
dinavian states. Germanys imports have been COM
paratively negligible and her foreign Indebtedness
is inconsiderable in comparison with that of the
entente allies especially Great Britain and France
Certainly the people of Germany have been
heavily taxed and have been under compulsion to
contribute largely to the war loans but this has
been in the main accomplished by means of a form
of financial juggery, by making the national and
private funds, to speak, do double and treble
duty-by the conversion of one loan into another,
and even by what has been akin to a system of
barter. But it must not be, forgotten that Ger
many started the with enormous gold re-
serve, including the indemnity paid by France
after the war of 1870, and that the banks still
retain their reserves, and in some cases have aug
mented them Very little gold has gone out of

Prosperous Georgia.

Broadly typical of Georgias agricultural pros
perity this season is the Albany Herald's account
of a farmer in its district who has two hundred
and fifty acres in peanuts. HE estimates that he
will get at least thirty bushels to the acre." says
the Herald with peanuts bringing dollar and
seventy-fve cents to dollar and eighty-fve cents
a bushel. and the peanut hay from twelve to four
teen dollars ton, he would be doing rather well
with his farm this year if he made nothing but pea
nuts; but he has other crops, and also good herds
of cattle and hogs" Thus has an enterprising
farmer met the menace of the boil weevil and
demonstrated the high proftableness of food crops
Not many years gone by it would have been consid-
cred quixotic in the heart of the cotton belt, to
plant two hundred and fifty acres in peanuts. But
now such ventures, rather investments are taken
as matters of course; and the state is far sounder
and richer in consequence. No longer dependent
upon the uncertain fortunes of single crop, nor
sending many millions of dollars to PARKWAY mar
kets for food supplies, Georgia enjoys prosperity
that is much we'll much greater than
any in her past because is founded upon broader
and more intelligent agricultural system.

GERMANY MUST PAY AND PAY AND PAY

the first things Germany will be called upon to do
will be to repay the forced levies made upon Bel
gium and towns in northern France and to redeem
the notes" and spurious currency which the Ger
mans have issued wherever they have planted
themselves. Compensation for damage done also
will have to be made far as possible in gold, and
the rest in committed payments, extended over a
period of years.
OF course it will be necessary to insist on Ger
many giving securities for the payment of her obli-
cations One of these will be the mercantile feet
now lying within Hamburg and other ports, in
Guiding the colossal ships which have been con-
structed since the began-vessels from $4,000
to so 900 TONS with which Germany hopes to re-
capture her foreign trade There are, it is under
stood at least half a dozen of these building or
built and they will help in restoring Belgium to
her old commercial position, and also Will have an
enormous bill against Germany.
But they will by no means cover the sum total
of Germanys destruction and depredations, and II
may be necessary to take a lien over her railways
for a of years, also part of the output or the
mines and forests, the resources of which largely,
have enabled the country to carry on the war in
dependent of materials from abroad. This Is not
vengeance; it is simple justice. Germany has been
robbing the mines of Belgium and France for the
last four years. and most probably will leave them
dismantled and ruined, while once rich forest lands
are now a succession of gaunt stumps. There must
be some recompense for all the destruction of which
the German vandals are guilty F.
AS far as this country is concerned, as has often
been said it seeks no indemnities. Nevertheless
what is our own shall hold-that is to say, Ger
manys ships now taken over and controlled by the
government and German properties in the hands or
the custodian of alien estates will be retained until
they are redeemed by the country which has forced
this war upon No sniveling sentimentalism is
going to prevent us from infictng on Germany and
its people a punishment reasonably adequate and
from obtaining securities for future good behavior

Pure Bred.

One of the most interesting evidences of Geor-
gia's material progress is the fact that in numbers
of districts where only few years ago live stock
raising limited largely to razorbacks and scrub
heifers, there now hundreds of pure-bred hogs
and cattle. The Dublin Courier Herald, in comment
ing on auction sale of hogs be held at the Dub
lin stockyards notes that the ninety-six entries are
all strictly Laurens county raised animals and
all "of standard breed registered, and capable of
winning prizes in almost any fair" 1t is only
within the last four years, told, that such
an event in Laurens county has become possible
for previously if all the registered hogs bred the
county had been put sale they would not have
numbered nearly hundred. To-day, the farmers
not only have plenty of registered breeding stock
but are so we'll advanced with their hogs that they
have pure bred stock to sell" There could be no
surer token of Laurens county's continued pros
periy, of the material progress of the state
a whole, where such tendencies prevail

were attempting to cheat the shipping board. They
had a nicely laid plan to obtain contracts from the
board at extra high prices, by using influence"
The government cats, however, bounced on them in
time.
A conspiracy among raincoat manufacturers
has also come to light. Through a corrupt officer
in the quartermasters corps they managed to re-
ceve preference in contracts to supply waterproof
garments. And the garments they supplied were
of such inferior quality that General Pershing re-
fused to accept them. Bribery, cheating and lying
are features of the charges.
1t is hard to speak temporarily of such gentry
When all the world is giving and sacrificing in a
noble cause their miserable little souls occupied
with graft. They should have short shrift in the
courts and should be driven out of society by the
contempt of decent men.

FACT is something vastly different from an
II inference. But many people have the I'M
fortunate mental habit of confusing the
two.
The result frequently is most unhappy, some
times to themselves, sometimes to other people.
The harm VIGOROUSLY done by gossip, for ex-
ample is often due to nothing but unconscious
confusing of inference and fact.
Mrs. Brown tells Mrs. Smith that she heard
Mrs. Jones little girl crying bitterly the night be-
fore. That is statement of fact.
But Mrs. Smith tells Mrs. Black that
Mrs. Jones beats her little girl cruelty. That is
an inference, perhaps entirely wrong, from the
fact stated by Mrs. Brown
Mrs. Smith perhaps bears malice to Mrs.
Jones. Yet her foolish confusion of inference and
fact may have the effect of rretrievably damaging
Mrs. Jones reputation in the neigborhood.
Or the confusion of inference with fact may
just seriously injure the one who makes it.
Robert Green's employer notifies him, THE
crate of eggs that you packed for Blank & Co.
reached them in badly damaged condition
Green, quick-tempered, announces to fellow
employee i've had stiff cal-down from the old
man. 1 won't stand it. If he doesn't like the
way I pack eggs, let him get another packer
I'm through"
The "old man" may not have intended his
statement of fact a "call down" at all. But
Green, confusing interference with fact, resigns
his position-and perhaps does not find another
for six months.
The world abounds in Robert Greens and Mrs
Smiths Granville Kleiser, in his How to Build
Mental Power" scarcely exaggerates when he
says:
Wrong inference. fallacious reasoning, incor-
rect Interpretation of experience, hasty observa-
ton, misuse of the truth, are so prevalent that
is forced to believe that men generally have
not learned the art of right thingng."
What is your own mental habit in this i'm
portant respect? Are you one of those who
jump hastily to conclusions, accepting facts
what are, after all, only differences?
If so, you need not wonder that misfortunes
and setbacks have befallen you. You need not
be surprised to find others holding your judg
ment in light esteem and paying little heed to
what you say.
The ability to discriminate between fact and
inference is basic to that clear thinking without
which cannot be won. The you
appreciate this the better for your future.

GEORGIA s Wool and Mutton.

The time has come in Georgia when every food
animal has its club For years the pig club and the
club have stood in high favor the States
live stock interests. To these now added in
steadily increasing numbers the sheep club. An
organization of this kind recently formed in
Laurens county has bought sixty sheep as its ini-
tial investment and is arousng the keenest inter-
est throughout that district. Such ventures, il in
teligently supervised, are certain to prove highly
