DON'T SHOOT

One of our very best friends is the lark.
1t is a real pity its flesh is not rank and
stringy instead of being as toothsome as
quail, for instead of being cherished he is
hunted in many localities by not only farm
ers' boys, but by town sportsmen as we'll
The few hills of young corn that he de-
stroys is many times paid for by the enor-
nous number of worms and grubs, all enc
mics of the crops, that he eats The field
lark, with his beautiful yellow breast flash
ed with black crescent and his clear thrill
ing whistle, is one of the cheeriest bits of
life on the farm. 1t is a shame to kill him.
The Lark is not really lark at all. but
cousin of the oriole and the redwing
blackbird. To find the nest in the spring
and summer is something like looking for
needle in a haystack-a rather roughly
made structure of dried grass with an at
tempt at arching over, usually hidden in a
clump of straw. 1t is equally futile to
try to trace the bird to its nest, because
the mother bird always alights some dis
tance away and as the feathers of her back
blend perfectly with the grass you immedi-
ately lose sight of her The lark rears two
or three broods during the year and the
bugs and worms fed into the many gaping
mouths is legion.

Rebuilding the Wounded.

Some wonderful things are being done by
men wounded in battle. The following are
English army medical corps:
A man lost the greater part of one of
his thumbs, and was thereby hindered in
earning his livelihood. Part of one of the
fingers of his other hand was accordingly
grated on to the stump, so that for some
time the two hands grew together, the half
amputated finger being nourished jointly by
blood passing through both arms. Finally
the finger was completely amputated and
the grating to the thumb-stump completed
Today the man possesses a second thumb,
serviceable for all ordinary purposes.
In other cases the muscles on the upper
side of the wrist have been rendered use
less by wound. Some of the muscles on
the lower side have accordingly been
brought round and reattached on the upper
side. These men are now extending the
hand by the very muscles which they for
merly used to close it.
Great care, Sir Robert Jones explained, is
taken over the elbows of the wounded. A
man is often asked to choose whether he
will have weak flexible elbow or a strong
rigid one, and the answer generally depends
on the kind of work he wishes to do. For
most kinds of heavy work it is found best
to fix the forearm at right angle, but there
are exceptions. For example, man engag-
ed in milking had the elbow set at per-
manent angle of 100 degrees in order that
he might be able to comfortably reach the
udder of the cow.

NO TIME FOR POLITICS.

Stress of war demands has demonstrated
the inherent ineficiencies both of the ex-
ecutive departments of the government and
of congress. The machinery Of legislation
and for the execution of the laws is cumber-
some, crude and much of it obsolete. Meth
DDS are still in use that should have been
strapped fifty years ago. The remarkable
thing is that we have been able to do as
much as we have to meet war necessities
under a system that encourages delay, red
tape and representation both in the execu-
tive departments of the government and
congress. The test of war in its need of
speed and directness of action has made the
old machine creak and groan like a wood
burning locomotive of years ago if called
upon to pull modern express train
Various measures have been presented for
solution of the problem. IT Is a matter
which involves the lives of American sol
ders in Europe, and the problem should be
undertaken without partisanship. This is no
time for playing politics by either party or
individuals. Craftsmanship of the highest
order is needed in national affairs as never
before. The pessimist and the little knocker
has never yet won a war. The creative ac-
tors in this struggle must be broad-minded,
far-seeing optimists. Petty politics, whether
in congress or the executive branch of the
4 government, must not be permitted to play
part IN the functoning of our war ma

A FRIENDLY TIP

The cambridge Searchlight has announc-
ed that it will not publish notices of en-
tertainments where refreshments are served.
The News does not go that far, but the re-
porter of this paper who is a member of all
organizations in Dawson that insist on keep
ing up the "eats" is fully of the opinion
that little practice in the matter of con-
serving food would be of far more weight
than all the precepts that we have been so
persistly laying down for others to follow.
Until one is ready to make little personal
sacrifice all the fine platitudes about con-
serTation are as sounding brass and tink-
ling cymhals" If we must have "eats" four
times day then in heavens name let's stop
waving flags.

Food Price Too High.
From the Washington Reporter.

The Macon News is right. The prices of
food are entirely too high and the food ad-
ministrators of the nation, states and coun-
ties should see to it that justice is done. A
fair price being paid to the producer, whole
saler and retailer, and if the local admins
traitors fail to do their duty they should be
removed, and men appointed to these posi-
tons that will see that the wrong is correct
ed.
price on all commodities and publish them
once a week at least, so that the consumers
will know where they are at.
We are at war now, and all-both pro-
Queer, wholesaler, retailer and consumer
should bear his equal share of the burden,
and exhorbitant prices should be stopped at
once, as some of the food we have to have
costs no more to produce and handle than
it did before the war in Europe began.

Words of Encouragement.

Editor Dawson News: l read with interest
your account of the organization of a Cham
Der of Commerce in Dawson AS | am citi-
zen Of Dawson, never having changed my
citizenship, l naturally feel pride in any
thing which tends to the advancement and
welfare of my home town.
Here in Orlando, where I am in business.
| can see the good results of the Board of
Trade (Which l presume is about the same
as our Chamber of Commerce.) They have
just put in a large canning factory here
and will manufacture preserves, etc, from
the citrus fruits which are grown in this
and surrounding counties. 1t will mean a
big thing for Dawson and Terrell county if
canning factory is built there.
Another thing which has helped this city
grow rapidly is the fact that almost all the
streets in the city have been paved with
brick Would certainly like to see the streets
from both stations to the business section
paved in Dawson, and of course the business
streets also. I don't believe that any money
could be better spent l hope to read an ac-
count before long that an election has been
called and carried for paving. Yours truly,

THIS is NO TIME FOR QUIBBLING.

From the New York Herald.
Both the president and congress should
understand that the people of this country
realizing more than ever before the magni-
tude of the task ahead, care not at all where
the power to bring desired results is lodged
so long as the results are obtained. They
are neither frightened nor very much inter
ested in either the white house bogy of cen
croachment" or the capitol bogy of 'sur-
render" They feel that with the nation at
war no time should be wasted in quibbling
over the relative positions of this branch of
the government or that, this department or
that, in relation to nice balances of power
When victory comes, and peace, there can
be readjustment. There can be no peace
without victory if those in positions of great
responsibility devote their time to pulling
and hauling among themselves

A HELPFUL MOVEMENT.

The opinion is generally expressed that
no movement is of greater importance to
this section right now than that of promot-
ing the canning industry Terrell county's
reputation for growing abundant crops of
foodstuffs is fully established. The great
problem is to get perishable products in
marketable shape to avoid waste. The sub
stantial business men who have launched
the matter of canning factory for Daw-
son and are giving freely of their time to
the enterprise deserve nothing less than the
hearty cooperation of every citizen of the
county. A factory ready to handle this sea-
sons crop would save thousands of dollars
to the community.

OUR TATTERED FLAGS.
Ay, tear her tattered ensign down
Long has it waved on high.

1t was said by John A. Dix, eff any one
attempts to haul down the American flag
shoot him on the spot" but there are Amer
lean flags, or remnants of what were once
American flags, flying in Dawson which
ought to be hauled down at once There are
times when it is to the interest of patriotism
to haul down the American flag. One of
those times is when the flag, after long ex-
posture to the elements, torn by the wind
faded by sun and rain, discolored by dirt,
has become mere rag, pathetic reminder
of the glorious banner which is the emblem
of our country. 1t is singular how careless
of the proprieties civilians become in their
treatment of the flag. Some of these faded
remnants of the stars and stripes which fut-
ter pathetically in Dawson have been in their
places for months, day and night, in all kind
of weather. No one has had enough regard
for them as flags to bring them in during
stormy weather, or at night, or to haul them
down when they become unfit for further
use and give them reverent interment. How
careless we are in some of these little nice
ties of patriotism.
The loyalty which inspires the display of
the flag we all recognize and appreciate, but
what shall be say of the thoughtlessness
which permits abuse of the flag through in
dolence or neglect? Az, let US tear down
these tattered ensigns which long have wav-
ed on high and which indct our sense of
the fitness of things. Better a bare staff
than a bedraggled banner. How are we to
teach or compel respect for the flag if we
do not respect it ourselves?

Progress of the Indian.
From the Outlook.

The Indian population of the United
States exclusive of Alaska is about $4,000,
or, roughly, in every 231 of the whole pop
ulation.
The numbers are increasing slowly. In
1916 the birth rate was 31.85 per 900 and
the death rate only 1888.
Of the one-time savage Indians of orr
country four times as many now live in
modern houses as do in primitive tepees,
tents and other temporary structures. and
all but $4,000 wear modern dress.
About three-fourths of the North Amer

schools, but 70 per cent. of the whole num-
