WHEAT WILL WIN ThE WAR

A noted English stateman said
recently that if the people of
America had failed to save this
year that England and France
would have been compelled to
withdraw from the fight and as Il
result the Allies would have lost
the war. This demonstrates the
the importance of wheat and
teaches us that WHEAT WILL
WIN THE WAR.
The Government of the United
States realizes that the two most
important factors in winning the
wal are men and food and so is
drafting the best manhood of the
country tor the service in the
trenches and is calling on the
farmers to produce the maximum
amount of food. There is no
better way for farmers to an
swer the call for food than by
sowing this Fall every acre IN
wheat that is possible and to SOW
it with such care that it will
yield bountlful haryest-------
The patriotic farmer will give
no thought to the price he will
receive for his wheat but will
think only OF the starving poor of
Europe and our boys in trenches
who are fighting our battles and
who must be fed
Our boys are drafted into the
army by the Government and
the wages they shall receive,
which may be the wages of death,
are fixed by the Government and
the boys DO not spend any time
figuring whether they can afford
TO. fight our battles Tor the, e
wages. They know their coun-
try has called them and they
answered the call without COM
plant or reservation. Your cOur-
try is asking you TO raise as
much wheat as possible aud you
will not spend any time figuring
whether you can afford to grow
wheat at.the price fixed by the
Government. You should realize
only that your country has called
you aud you will do your best
for WHEAT WILL WIN THE
WAR.
No thought should be given
to the possibility of being un-
able to harvest the wheat next
year for the Government will
permit no wheat to 60 to waste
but will find some means of pro-
viding laborers for the harvest.
England has sent more than
six million men to fight her bat
ties and in spite Of this will har-
vest this Fall, the largest wheat
crop in her history. What
has dOne-America wi !
do.

Shortly after the war began

THE BEST PLASTEk.

A piece of fla nnel dampened

often more etfectual for a lame

Savings Stamps campaign, and Major
Carlisle Wash, commander at Souther
Field, a fleet of more than twenty air.
planes from this city will fly over
towns and cities all over south Geor-

the interest Of War Savings Stamps,
the campaign for which will close on
that day.
1t is planned for the aviators to fly
to all towns and cities within radius
of 100 miles of Americas. Wherever
possible they will alight and present
to the mayor of the town copy of
President Wilson's proclamation de-
claring next Friday War Savings Day,
and there will be brief and appropriate
exercises, after which the aviator will
sail away to the next town on his
route.
The machines to be used in these
flights are of the latest type of Amer
lean planes, recently received at Sou
Their Field, all of them being equip
ped with the worldfamous Curtiss
motors. Several aviators from Texas
fields have recently arrived in the
city, and will participate in the
flights in addition to the regular staff
of instructors and several of the adj
vanced students there.

THE SCARCITY or LABOR.

The scarcity Of labor for many in
dustries and businesses has become an
acute and perplexing problem already
and indications are that it will be
even more serious before the end of
the summer.
The work or fight rule Will send
10 essential industries thousands of
young men, and will further reduce the
available man-power for jobs that are
clamoring for attention.
While little or nothing has been said
about it, the newspapers bave been
particularly hard hit. This is true of
the weekly press Us we'll as of the
daily. Indeed, the latter. by paying
increased wages, have 7gi less worry,
but the smaller plant has been greatly
handicapped. There is now a demand
throughout the state for experienced
linotype operators and printers, and
wages for the latter are in many in
stances so to rs per cent. higher than
at this time last year. Many shops
have jobs that are going a-begging, re-
CARELESS of the salary offered, simply
because there are no men obtainable
for the places.
There must be REIMBURSEMENT along
all lines. There musr ne curtailment,
doubling up. new system, in order to
meet the changed conditions brought
about by so many men going into the
military service. The employer who
waits before planning to perfect
new arrangements for the future is 60
ing to find himself in critical condi-
ton This is one time when time must
be taken by the forelock, and even
then there arises the proposition OF
finding the right kind of labor
Eventually, If the war continues Tor
two or three years, it must resolve
itself in this country into more women
taking up the work formerly done ex-
clusively by men.

"CARRY ON"

The war has given currency to
many words and phrases, and attach
ed to them in some cases new shades
of meaning as in carry on"
1t is said in accounts of air raids
on London. while bombs were drop
ping near the theatres and there was
stir among the audience, there was
heard the call, Garry ont" and the
performance continued The soldier in
the trenches carries on
The earliest use of the phrase in the
modern sense that has been found is
in ''Hudibras;"
And is this all? Is this the end
TO which these carvings on did
tend?
Shakespeare's use of the phrase
carry on" does not come under the
classification in which it is now used,
but merely in the ordinary sense, as
in "Troilus and Cressida," where it is
said of one that he carries on the
stream of his discourse"
The dialectic use of the phrase re-
fers to behavior or conduct and gen
orally in bad sense, as in instances
culled from Wrights English Dialect
Dictionary.
None of the citations of its use go
back more than half a century. In
tom Cringle's Log" by Michael
Scott, begun in Blaokwood's in 1929,
the first instance of its use in the
war meaning is in the closing sentence
of the first chapter describing the
battle at sea between an American
frigate and a British man-of-war off
Bermuda, and the British 1essel was
glad to evade its stronger zoe at night.
as told in the sentence:
with breathless anxiety did we car
ny on throughout that night, expecting
every lurch to send our remaining top
mast by the board, but the weather
moderated and next morning the sun
shone on our blood-stained decks.
anchor off the entrance to ST Georges
harbor."
This is the genuine sense in this
passage in which the British now use
the phrase carry on" each man stand
ing in his place doing his duty at his
post as a soldier should
Stacker" from the English. and
"camouflage," from the French, are
two words adopted by Americans and
most popularity used since the war be-
gan, but carry on" is rauidly taking
hold and, no doubt, it too. will soon
be generally spoken.

THE WESTERN UNION

The refusal of the president of tn
Western Union Telegraph Company u
accept the decision of the War Labo
board, presided over by ex-Presiden
Taft, puts that company in not very
enviable light.
At time when the country is a
war and Geographic communication i
one of the most essential items for us
by both the military and naval force
of the country, the president OF tn
Western Union forces an issue in or
der to compel the United States to
acquire" his company at whta would
undoubtedly be good profit. Govern
ment ownership has suddenly become
popular, with Uncle Sam guaranteeing
interest and profits.
There is new way of looking at
this entire proposition, however,
which might put different phase on
the matter, even from the Western
Union presidents point of view. There
was recently passed by congress an
act whereby any one "obstructing the
military or naval operations of the
United States at a time of war;" may
be imprisoned for not less than thirty
years or fined 10000 or both. This act
is public No. 1876, Sixty-Fifth Con-
gress, Second Session." and was Gre
ated to punish the willful injury OF
destruction of war material, or OF
war premises or utilities used in con-
nection with war material, and fol
other purposes" 1t is specifically cit
ed in this act that whoever interferes
with or obstructs the United States
in preapring for or carrying Oh
war or shall injure or destroy
war premises or war utilities "
shall be subject on conviction" to the
fine mentioned. War utilities" are
defined as telephone and telegraph
Zines.
President Carlton, in his attitude
as obstructionist at this time is put
ting himself in precarious position
The act above referred to was mainly
designed to cope with labor agitators
not open to reason, but it would be pc
culiarly fitting if Mr.. Carlton should al
this time be made to see the light.
Perhaps, if he does not watch his step
Uncle Sam may make an example of
him.
