The city officials have awarded the
contracts for the hauling of garbage
from all sections of town for the year
beginning Monday of this week and
ending June 80, 1919. The contracts

STOCKING THEIR PANTRIEs

Many people ask what goes with the
enormous supply of grain and provis-
lions that the government constantly
calls for Here is report of distri-
button to the allies which might be
Of interest.
Statistics compiled by the Food Ad-
ministration show that the grand to.
taol of all food exported to the four
allieS-the United Kingdom, France,
Italy, and Russia from July | 1914,
to January / 1918, would furnish com
plete yearly ratbns for 57,100, 900
persons with a sulplus of protein
capable of supplying this portion of the
diet for 22,194,570 additional men.
Since the beginning of the war the
United States has averaged to supply
the allies with food enough each year
to support 16,314,552 persons, and with
an excess Of both protein and fats
sufficient for several MILLIONS more.
The total exports of wheat and
wheat flour to the three principal al
lies. Russia. getting but a very small
percent OF the whole, were equivalent
TO about 384,OO0O0O bushels, OF an
average of about 110,0OO,OOO year.
# this total amount the United King
dom got 145, $4,000 of wheat and
S'512,000 barrels of wheat fluor; France
got 79,798,000 bushels of wheat and
1,S95000 barrels Of wheat flour. Rus
sia received only 10000 bushels of.
wheat and $4,000 barrels of wheat
flour
The total exports Of pork products
we're nearly 2,OOO,OOOOOO pounds, a
7early average Of chout 570,00O,OO0
pounds. The total sugar exports were
over ,269O00,OO0 pounds, yearly
average of about 648,OO0,OO0. Of corn
there was exported 1882 900 bushels;
oats 2O7 9S1 900; rye, 3,4O7,O 900.

for an understanding between Italy
and Jugoslavia. This includes the re-
cognition by italy of, the right of jug
cslavia to occupy Dalmatia. The gen
eral declarations made at Corfu by
the Jugoslava and Serbians as the
basis OF the new Slay state are accept
able to Italy. The imperalistis de-
mands of certain Italian groups are
abandoned, and Italy now evidently
intends to confine her energies to the
recovery of unquestioned Italian ter
ritory.
The adjustment of these differences
means much to every small people
struggling to gain separate existence
and independence. 1t means that the
stronger nations among the allies are
not seeking new territory by military
success, but are fighting for their I'M
disputed rights. 1t means that they
will be feeble peoples to gain indie
pendence within boundaries that be-
long to them. The democratic ideals
outlined by President Wilson are
brought nearer to realization by the
generous act Of Italy in recognizing
the right of the slavs to recover their
old coast line on the Adriatic Con
verSely, the desire of submerged ma
lions to escape from the yoke of the
Hapsburg and Hohenzollern autocrats
will be intensified, now that it is per-
ceived that powerful uations are act
ually sacrificing their selfish interests
to aid in the work of liberation
Germany has won great success
2gainst the allies by holding off the
strongest while striking down the
weaker. When all the allies learn
to do likewise? When will they direct
powerful attack on Austria-Hungary
that decrepit relic of bygone tyranny?
A combined political and military Of
fensive against Austria could quickly
Shatter the Hapsburg domlnlonS into
bits and enable the allies to cut off the
Germans. The ground i'll Austria is
ripe for revolution among the Jugo-
slavs, the Bohemians, and the Trans.
ylvanian Rumanians, as well as among
the Italians of the provinces long oc-
cupied by Austria.
The Germans, when they find such a
situation, take advantage of it by using
the weapon Of political warfare
They stir up revolution, spread dis
content, encourage disorders, finance
courageous spirits, push the literary
propaganda 10 the utmost, and literal
ly prepare the ground for a harvest
Of military successes. Are the allies
lacking in the intelligence of the Ger.

Poor old Crawford has been beset
with this kind of notoriety for many
months and one must Judge from
what he hears and reads that it will
still be many months before there is
creditable change.
Crawford county has some good peo-
ple,-well up with other Georgians,
but there is not a county in all Geor-
gia that is affording as much open law
lcssness of the outlaw stripe as. is
old Crawford at the present time, if
enc must Judge by what he sees in the
papers. 1t is there. There is a net
work of stills. There is a clan of rid
ecs that use might TO enforce their
wishes. They seek to accomplish their
wishes by terror and the two elements
combined make this section one to
be dreaded Just at the present time.
Crawford county, all along the Dor
der of Bib, sends its children to the
Bibb county schools wherever this can
be done, but in the sections where the
greatest trouble making is now under
way there are no schools and there
Is no training for the child. except
in the ways of those who make moon
shine whisky and use the darkness of
the night to terrorize where they will.
Crawford county is moi nest of
m0Cnshiners and night riders, but Ora

1t will take years to do it. lgnor-
ance is the prime cause of present
conditions. 1t will take schools where
the children can get their training,
and it will take required school at

is indeed slow, but it is sure. Igno-
rance aud crime 30 hand in hand. Let

place TO handle these ills set up more

dose of their own medicine?
If the allies would organize a revo-
lutionary propaganda in Austria with
one-half of the energy and thorouh-
ness that are displayed by Germany in
similar work, a fire could be lighted
i'll that empire which the enemy could
not extinguish. 1t would be the sig
nal of the downfall of both the Haps-
burgs and the Hohenzollerns; for the
defeat of either means the defeat of
the other. Both are the decendents of
robbers, and their possessions, which
they claim to hold by divine right, be-
long to the people. Every act of war,
whether political or military, which
will help to shake the Hohenzollerns
and Hapsburgs form their thrones is
a stroke for liberty throughout the
world 1t is the bounden duty of the
allied nations to contribute money and
intelligence as we'll as men and guns
to the winning of this war. The weak
points in the German system are Aus
tril-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
The allies should strike down and de-
mplish these weak places. Then they
will be in better position to finish
with Germany.
