LOTTERIES AND RAFFIES BARRED
National Headquarters,
April 30, 1918.

National Headquarters
April 80. 1918.
To Mr.. Charles Scott, Jr., Manager
Pennsylvania Division:
National Headquarters have been
asked to define definitely the attitude
of the Red Cross toward raising funds
by means OF lotteries, raffles, and any
other form of appeal which involves
in any way the question of gambling
We wish to state that National
Headquarters definitely opposes any
games, lotteries, raffles. or any other
form Of appeal which posses gambl-
ing features. This form of gambling
is contrary to the laws Of many of
the states.
We believe that the appeal of the
Red Cross is so great, and that the
people of the country are so anxious
to have it fulfill its obligations as in
terpreter Of the nations sentiments,
that it is unnecessary for any com
munity to have to resort to such
methods to raise funds.
We have been asked for a ruling on
this subject by several of the Division
Managers, and give it to you for your
information and for use wherever it
may be necessary.

DOMESTIC sCIENCE

Last week at the Community Sing
Mr.. Varney mentioned that money
was needed with which to purchase
coal for the Red Cross rooms. As a
consequence the pupils Of the Domes-
tic Science Department of the Milford
Schools, under the direction Of Mrs.
Pratt, who has charge Of the depart
ment, arranged to sell refreshments
on circus day. Two booths we're
erected. On Tuesday afternoon a
check for sixty-eight dollars and SOW
enty-hve cents was handed to the
local Red Cross; the amount that was
a clear prORt. This will probably be
sufficient to buy all the coal that Will
be needed this winter.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

We ought always to remember that
if we raise a big crop of any kind X
is done with an increased exhaustion
of soil fertility. If we expect that
field to keep up and do wen n the
future we must give it additional fer
tilizer. good many farmers seem
to forget this and lock upon a good
crop as so much good luck, the pro
duct Of the season, so to speak, and
not Of the land. Heavy crops must
be met with an increased outlay for
fertilizer -Hoapd's Dairyman.

Food Administration
Freight Office

An interesting announcement is
made by the United States food ad-
ministrator of the creation of district
traffic offices, each under the control
of traffic director. These districts
coincide in territory with those covered
by the railroad administration through
its regional directors.
The traffic division for the Southern
district will have headquarters in the
Healey building, Atlanta, and will be
in charge of Regional Director Of Traf-
fic Charles Barham, for many years
general freight agent of the N, c. &
St. l.. railway,
1t is understood to be the duty OF
this new organization to coordinate
the work of the food and railroad ad-
ministrations, in effecting the prompt
movement of foodstuffs, in reducing
delays in loading and unloading and
returning cars, and in other ways
tightening congestion. 1t is expected
to work closely in all these matters
with the regional railroad director, Mr..
Markham.
The county representatives OF the
food administration have been re-
quested to correspond direct with Mr..
Barham, Healey building, Atlanta. Ga,
in all cases where local efforts have
failed, and where the services of his
Office may be needed.

be started between Marietta and
Gainesville The cars will leave each
place at the same time and make the
trip in two hours, making local stops
at Kennesaw, Acworth, Altoona and
Emerson. They will also carry
freight packages of reasonable size,
and will no doubt be a great con-
venience to people of these towns.
Six trips each way will be made
each day, starting at 1911 a. m.
and 2-4-6 p. m. The fares will be
very reasonable, as you will notice
by the schedule published in this IS

prietor of the new line and we wish
him success.

"THE BIRD OF PARADISE"


"The Bird of Paradise, Richard
Walton Tulley's exotic drama will
make its first appearance at the At
lanta Theatre, Atlanta, on Friday
and Saturday, April 18th and 18th,
with a bargain matinee on Saturday.
The piece is referred to as "the
play of woman's SOUL, and has its
settings in the Hawaiian Islands.
Against this background of unique
beauty is lived rather than acted,
powerful story of two women and
their influence upon the lives of the
men who love them. One, with the
sensuous charm of the young Hawai-
ian, vows that she will WOO her hus-
band and keep him "by the charm Of
lips and arms" The other, snow
maiden, says: Il will keep and hold
him by the power of the mind" The
girls live and love and pay the price
of life and love. Then each seems
the other and says: II was wrong.
My way has failed. Teach me your
way, to win and keep a mans love"
Every woman knows, and every
woman will admit that this is the
knowledge she desires beyond all
earthly things. She will learn it if
she sees "The Bird of Paradise"

Licensed Meat Dealers

The government has ruled that all
dealers in meats who sell or deliver
meats to any county, municipal, pub
lie or private institutions, such as a
penitentiary, asylum, hospital, sanito-
rum, university, college or school, ho-
tel, restaurant or boarding house, or
any other merchant, who, in turn,
sells or charges the meat so purchased
to his trade; in fact, any person or
persons who dispose of any meat pur-
chased from you to any third party,

PATRIOTISM is NOT NEGATIVE;
so SAYS MIR. CLAIBORNE.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

the henneSaW Marble Works bought
$3.50 of War Stamps.
When the drive for Red Gross
members was made, the workers came
back discouraged because farmers
were not interested. Very few be-
came members.
But the wage-e -earners at the knit
ting mill gave in a membership of
110. And EVERY LABORER in
the Kennesaw Marble works (negro
and white) bought a membership.
And Ben Bailey a negro servant
of Mr.. R. H. Northcutt, bought War
Stamps of face value of $500 on
March 23rd.
Now that is concrete patriotism.
And these men and girls are not con-
graduating themselves because they
eat cornbread, and because they get
up at the usual time in the morn
ing.
When the farmer understands the
need he will do likewise. And we
must help him to know.
City Loafers and City Blowouts
The Mayor is attendingI to the
loafers and giving them work to do.
The Blowout" is surely to be con-
demned, where food is wasted and
money extravagantly spent. But
there is not much of this. In most
such advertised affairs there is not
as much food displayed as one usual
ly finds on the farmers table at
Sunday dinner q have been there.)
Many such entertainments which
it takes half column to write up are
made up largely of pink paper, water
with lemon juice and sugar mixed,
and a sandwich or two which is a
quarter mouthful to hungry man.
1t is the fellowship that makes it
attractive and the beauty. But the
feast" is condemned by all sane peo-
pie.
Here is sample. The night of the
big speaking in Marietta, the speak
ers were entertained at one of the
handsomest homes by the most de-
lightful people, and it was doubtless
marked as blowout. Mr.. Richard
son, of Atlanta, was present, Mr.. j..
@. Nolan, Captain Davis, Captain
Rostand, a number Of ladies and my
self Everything was beautiful. Here
is the food, all of it delicious: Corn
bread (and no other kind); Fish
(and no kind of meat) Potato salad,
cold tea to drink; Home made cake.
But no mon said "We are patriotic. P"
A reception is given and written
up at large. There will be flowers
from the woods and attractive peo-
pie. The food is two oatmeal cook
les on a plate with cup of lemon
ade.
Away with such bosh then. We
are one people. Some people get at
$3.50 because their work requires
some work all night for the same
reason; others go to bed at II or IL
and get up at 8 A. NJ. for the same
reason, Patriotism must rest on
something more practical
God bless the American farmer!
And when he awakes to the Need of
his country, he will respond to her
call. And may that time come speed
lily!

OUR SAFETY LIES IN
RAISING MORE HOGS
Athens, Ca, March 27, 1918.

Athens, Ca, March 27, 1918.
Mr.. Editor:
Will you please find place in
YOUR paper for this article on the
meat situation in Georgia. 1t is a
mong the possibilities that we can
Get on a self-sustaining basis this
wear if we can get the pigs saved
Thanking you in advance, l am
Very truly,
JAS. E. DOWNING,
State Pig Club Agent
We will have to raise 100000 adj
ditional 200 pound hogs to get self
sustaining meat basis in Georgia. To
do this, we must save million pigs.
The only chance to have plenty
of meat for everybody next winter
is to save the pigs this spring. If
we can save 100000 by better care
and attention to both the mother and
the little pigs, we need not worry if
the railroad congestion continues.
At the present time, there is es-
tirated to be one billion pounds of
porlz in storage in this country. Wash
ington reports dated March 1st, show
there has been an increase of III 5
per cent Of pork in the South Atlan-
tic states, of which Georgia is one.
This large surplus which has filled
every place fit to store meat is
caused by lack of transportation.
Practically 80 per cent of the con-
gestion is caused by government op-
erations of one kind and another
This has prevented the meat now in
storage from being moved.
The foregoing information is CIV
en- to explain a situation that now
exists and to remove any fear that
there will not be good market for
hogs this summer. With the taking
over of the boats from Holland by
this country, no doubt the meat sup
plies will be moved soon. There is
every reason to save every pig and
raise every hog to maturity so the
storage plants can be filled up as
soon as empty, otherwise, there is
danger that Italy may go as Russia
did-RusSia was HUNGRY.
If the railroad congestion contin-
ues throughout the year, Georgia
will not be able to buy meat this fall
from Northern States that have here
tofore supplied this food. A lot of
men aye figuring on getting money
from their cotton to buy meat. The
farmer, however, will not be exempt
from railroad congestion any more
than the merchant. In other words,
it may be one time when money will
not buy food because it cannot be
shipped
The wise man of this time is he
who looks after every pig like it was
worth its weight in gold and takes
no chances on its being mashed by
the mother, eaten by the buzzards or
dying from hollow-belly.
Herbert Hoover, the Federal Food
Administrator, says:
"The production Of more fats is
today a critical necessity. Every
pound of fat is as sure Of service as
every bullet and every hog is of
GREATER value to winning this war
than a she'll"
Better be safe than sorry. For
bulletins or advice on hog raising
address the State College of Agri-
culture, Athens, Georgia.

FLAYS GERMAN SYSTEM
(From Minneota Mascot)

(FrOm MI.1neOCa MaScOL)
~ SWIDZINSKI, one of the well known early
X settlers of his locality, called at the
= Mascot office Monday, in the course of a
conversation the war situation, told us some
interesting things of his experience as German
citizen. Before coming to this country Mr.. Swid-
zinsh was resident of Posen, formerly a part
of Poland, but now belonging to Germany.
Racially he is Polander but officially he
was citizen of Germany.
He served as soldier, under the German flag,
in the Franco-Prussian war; not because he want
ed to but because he had to. He has son in
the U. S. army and if ever there was loyal
American then Mr.. Swidzinsk is one.
"No man can tell me anything about the brutal
militarism of Germany" said he, Il have been
through the mill. I have lived under the oppres-
sion of German rules. / know that the common
people of Germany are, for all intents and pur-
poses, slaves The rich override the poor and
the military autocracy Of the country bosses ev-.

ARE THEY FRIGHTENED

I'm a recent number of Coleres Magazines.
William Slavens McNutt writes as fol-
lows:
A few nights ago I got on a train at little
French town and found aboard three sergeants
from base port going up to the front to arrest
and bring back three misunderstanding the
strangest deserters on record. They were after
three men who had deserted from a base port
and slowed away, so to speak, with unit that
was on it's way to the front. They had deserted
TO get under fire.
Couple this fact with the fact that many OF
the non-coms of our own Camp Cody and other
training camps have made every effort they hon.
orably could to "get busted in order to go across
when privates to be sent, and we have
pretty good testimony of the utter futility OF The
boche to scare the American soldier. The more
frightful said boche becomes the Drawer and boil
der do the Americans become, with bravery and
boldness born of justifiable rage at the suffer-
ings of an outraged humanity. The Germans are
weak on psychology if they think that anything
they have done in their deliberate acts of shame
and dishonor has inspired the allied nation with
fear.

OUR ANNIVERSARY

w 9TH this issue, Number of Volume l., the
M Gazette starts on the second lap OF the
w century run. Just what is to done during
this fifty years of serving the community IN
which it has been growing during the first flf-
ty can only be estimated by judging what has
been done in the past. Tha. the Gazette has
real place l.. the life of Redwood county-and
if it did, not have we would not continue to pub
lish its due to the fact thai it has had men
as it's managers in the past years of it's infancy
and growth who have worked hard for the bet
torment of The community and who have grown
with the community, of ability, strength OF
purpose, and above ALL possessing that quality
of sticking to- withou. which no country news

the present editor is entirely with keeping what
they won from sinking backward into oblivion
to "carry on as these men would have us do
