A Former Dawsonian Writes The
Dawson News an Interesting Letter

that you have legitimate right with
in. You would be little surprised
when told you there are only thirty
thousand employees in the plant. Then
| would show you our service flag
with its CLOS stars, MANY of gold,
then l would tell you that eighty per-
cent. of the products of the plant
were for the government or its allies.
l would carry you into the govern
ment's own Office within the works,
where a corps of inspectors are main
tanned whose duty is to follow the
work through the shops and see that
everything is made just right. |
would show you thousands of girls in
overalls, in the elevators, in the
cranes, at the lathes, at the bench,
winding coils, making parts, and in
general doing the work of men.
would show you a section where the
largest electric locomotives ever built
are being made for Uncle Sans rail-
roads. l would show you the entire
propulsive equipment for many of
our new war ships and merchant ma
rines being assembled. In another
section you would see the workmen
making motors and all necessary
equipment for submarines. You could
not count them, there are too many.
Here you see motors that steer
ship; motors that ventilate it; motors
which fire the guns, and motors which
carry the shells. We make them all.
| would spend a few minutes with
you in the wireless department and
whisper in your ear that the last or
der we received was for twenty-five
thousand government wireless aero
plane equipments. / would show you
the aeroplane propellers, motors and
parts being made. You would see
powerful searchlight sets ready for
the front. Then would carry you in
the she'll factory where night and
day, never ceasing, the huge shells
and hand grenades are made. You
will see the finished product running
out faster than they can be moved,
and being piled in great dumps to
await transportation.
Do you know that every finished
piece of apparatus must be tested
before it leaves the factory? Well,
it must be, and it must stand test
much more severe than it will meet
in actual service. The last thing l
will show you is the testing floor, for
here is where l am assigned. 1t is
my duty to help find flaws or approve
the correct. You hear the hum of
running machines, you hear the
groans of overloaded motors as they
try to show that they will do the work
Uncle Sam demands of them. You
see the flash of the faulty as they give
away under the strain, or you see
the approved product glide into a
freight car.
During the trip you have lived as
in another world. You leave the
building as if awaking from dream.
You feel like giving three yells for
the red, white and blue and the great
est country in the world. As you bid
farewell to the workmen each waves
his little American flag with the as
surance that the boys at the front
will never be short Of supplies. You
have seen a war of industry. Yours
truly, Il. Z. GREER.

GROWING OF WHEAT
A VITAL NECESSITY
GEORGIA AND TERRELL COUN-
TY HAVE SHARE IN WELFARE
PROGRAM OF NATION.

The extension forces of the state
college of agriculture and the u. S.
department of agriculture are now
concentrating efforts to get a larger
acreage planted to wheat this fall
The food administration and depart
ment officials have been figuring into
the food needs for next year. These
men know where wheat will grow to
best advantage and they have taken
into consideration the needs and soil
conditions in the various states. Each
state is allotted so many acres de-
pending upon these conditions.
Georgia's allotment is five hun
dred thousand acres as the minimum.
This means a twenty per cent. in
crease over the acreage in wheat the
past season. When it is shown none
of the wheat which may be grown
IN this state is expected to be used
other than by the people in the state
it would seem, with all the patriot
ism which we know exists here, that
1t should be very easy matter to
have this much wheat planted if there
were no other reasons to offer than
just simply that the government has
shown this much is needed.
To get this acreage every farmer
is asked to plant from two to five
acres of wheat to each pillow operat-
ed. This is meant to furnish his own
farm with perhaps little to spare to
those in towns who do not own farms.
It is not asked that the farmers in
Georgia grow wheat for commercial
purposes, yet there is, perhaps, no
better way to use some of the land
that may lie idle for lack of labor.
This crop does not require labor that
clean cultivated crops demand.

MEAT ANIMALS HAVE DE.
CREASED $4,000, 900 IN NUMBER
Cattle and Hogs Show an Increase
in the United States.

Estimates published by the United
States food administration show that
there are 100000 less meat ami
mails in the world today than there
were in the year preceding the begin
nlng of the war. While the increase
IN cattle in the United States was
$780, 1000, the total world decrease
was 28,O8O,00O. Sheep decreased g.
100000 in the United States and
54,5O0,000 in the world. Hogs have
increased 6,275,000 in the United
States, but throughout the world
their number has decreased 32,425,-
900.
The close of the war will find Eu-
rope almost barren of meat and dairy
animals, and with an annual produc-
ton of meat and dairy products de-
creased to a startling extent.

In the annual report of Cato Sells,

evidences of material and human

PROCEED WITH
PLANS TO HANG
CARTER FRIDAY
Almost Certain Now That Slayer
of Peter JeIyek VIII Be Exc
cuted on Date Set.
no ACTION AT SPRINGFIELD
Negro Alone i'm Last Hours. Desert

by ,jailmates.
Especial to The Argus.)

Springfield, Ill. March 11.-With
the reprieve given by Governor
I,owden on Feb. IA to VIII Carter,
under sentence to hang in Rock Is
land for the murder of Peter Jel-
vek expiring next Friday, it seems
likely that Carter will pay the pen
atty for his crime with his life.
Neither Governor Lowden nor the
division of pardons and paroles
have received any word from c. j.
Searle of Rock Island. who on Feb.
IA appeared before Governor Low
den with Rev. Guy E. Sanders, pas
tor of the Second Baptist church
of Rock Island and secured the re-
prieve that they will again appear
before the governor or division of
pardons and paroles in behalf of
Carter.
viii Carter, SLAYER of Peter Jel-
yek, yesterday entered upon his last
week upon earth, as he will pay
the death penalty for his crime
Friday unless he is granted a sec
Ond 18th hour reprieve by Governor
Lowden.
Diligent inquiries at Springfield
have thus far proven that no move
has been made in Carriers behalf
this time. Carter seems to have
been deserted by his staunchcst
friends OF former times. Attaches
at the county Jail stated today that
he has had no visitors since HIS
reprieve was granted on Feb. L..
Even his spiritual advisers have
neglected to visit him. Indeed. he
is scarcely noticed by his fellow
prisoners. Carter is holding up
well, however.
On Feb. Is Carter was granted a
stay of % days by Governor Low
den, upon the recommendation OF
the state board of pardons, Attor-
ney c. j. Searle and Rev Guy San
ders having ACTED for him at the
last minute. Sheriff George H
Richmond received official notice Of
his reprieve but few hours be-
fore the time set for the hanging
on Feb. 15. The gallows and stock
ade surrounding it. to the east Of
the county jail, were permitted to
stand.
AT IidI IlllS a ISpI eSeutdIINe VI
the state board of pardons was
sent to Rock Island and Carriers
case was fully Investigated. The
state board is evidently satisfied
with the facts CLEANED at that time.
as no further inquiry has been
made.
Sheriff Richmond stated today
that he had as yet, set no hour
for the execution Friday morning..
Only those holding permits from
I the sheriff will be permitted to en-
