When We We're Boys

One of our exchanges says it was
only the other day when we were
boys. Now we are dads and can see
the many changes wrought in the
modes of living. We wore heavy
boots made of coarse leather that
was softened up in the winter time
by the free use of melted tallow
vigorously rubbed in. We had fam
mel shirts for winter wear and hick-
DRY shirts for the warmer days. Neck
ties and collors were only worn on
Sunday and special occasions. We
rolled out at the call of dad early in
the morning to build the fires. Our
after several minutes of pulling,
kicking and Juggling our feet went
into them with thud. Then to the
kitchen stove, where the water pail,
tea kettle and coffee pot were solid
with ice. The>wood box back Of the
cook stove had to be filled with split
wood, dug out of a. snow bank, NOR
ming and evening, along with
Chunks" for the heater. We took
our morning bath in cold water and
ate pancakes as fast as mother could
get them off the griddle, with plenty
of good butter and sorghum. Over
shoes were not made for boys, and
our feet were sometimes frosted,
causing chilblains that nearly set us
mad. When we complained we were
told by our dads" that we were
tenderfeet, unable to stand the cold,
and should know how he did when a
boy. Oh! kid, them were the happy
days of your dad, who often thinks
of them as he sees his boy wearing
| polished shoes, silk socks, spotless
! collars, overshoes and big fur lined
overcoat, after warm breakfast in
furnace heated house, start for his
school. We are glad, boys, that you
are living better, dressing better and
learning more in the school than we
could, all of which is due to the pro-
gress of civilization, and when you
are dad" perhaps the changes will
be such that you can look back and
likewise say to your son, ''You should
have to live as dad did when he was
a boy and endured the hardships."

PATRIOTS

One man said, eat barley just as well as
the fellows can and we ought not
to say anything about it either
Another man, asked to do committee work. said,

what is it you want?'
Another man said I'm without help and my bust
ness is way behind, but all ask of business until

None of these talking for effect, just Civ
ing expression to the universal feeling devotion the

The Patriotic (?) Hog

It's enough to make sick to hear some pot
bel1ied mortals talk sacrifice when all they
asked to do is keep from eating themselves to DEATH

down their lives the altar of democracy battle

The relation of the the country to the

BIG PLANS FOR
REGISTRATION DAY
MARTIAL MUSIC IN GEORGIA
ON NATIONAL REGISTRATION
DAY

Il want to have every flag flying
and every band playing on registra-
ton day is the message which has
been sent to the Council of National
Defense by Provost Marshall Crow 7
der. According the message has been |
sent by the National Council through |
all States Councils, and the Georgia !
Council of Defense, and the Woman's /
Committee Council of National De-
tense, are planning for day of mar
tial music and flag raising.
Representing Governor Dorsey,
Judge Price Gilbert will endeavor to
have every band playing in Georgia
our registration day, while Mrs. Sam
uel Inman, head of the Woman's
Committee, will urge the women of
the State to see that the colors of
the National insignia decorate build
ings of all kinds, houses and all plac-
es of public gatherings.
The Secretary of War and the
Secretary of the Navy have recon-
mended the Commanding Officers at
all environments, camps, posts and
stations, where there are bands, to
make arrangements to assign such
bands for duty at nearby cities or
towns, if requested by mayor, and if
consistent with military conditions.
Georgia is rich at present in having
a number of military bands in con-
nection with her Cantonments, and |
Army Posts. Besides imumerable
private bands there are military bands |
at Camp Hancock. Augusta, Camp |
Atlanta; Fit. Oglethorpe, Gillian Bal
loon School, Macon, Fl MCPHERSON
School of fighting Mechanics, Atlanta
Jessup, near Atlanta and the Coast
Artillery near Savannah, Ga.
To the Chairman of the County and
Community Councils of Georgia, the
Georgia Council of Defense will re-
commend the following.
1. That you arrange for Com
community Council and other patriotic +
meetings at which to lay this infor- |
nation before the community. The I
eve of Registration Day is perhaps
the best time for these meetings and |
every meeting should include patriotic |
music and singing.
2. That special meetings of Ne
groes and of foreign born groups be
held wherever necessary to explain to
them their duties on Registration
Day.
3. That you arrange locally to
uialte Registration Day day of solemn
patriotic celebration; to have the bells
run, to have all flags flying and to
make use of bands and patriotic mus
&c wherever possible
4. That you consider the advis-
ability of MODELLING the automobiles
OF your locality Registration Day,
so that men who live at a distance
from their place of registration may
register with minimum of time lost

METALS

New York, March 17.-Steel interests expect the government to place exten- sive orders soon for railroad equipment. which include a heavy tonnage of rails and from 100000 to 15o.0O0 freight cars. Canada is also expected to be a heavy buyer of rails. The gross tonnage of these orders will likely tax the capacity of American rolling mills for some time.
 Production of pig Iron during March will show considerable increase, but every pound will be needed. Furnaces are practically sold up for the second quarter, and only urgent government orders receive attention for the second half
 Increased cost of iron production has encouraged the hope among certain pro- ducers that they may obtain a higher price after March 3l, although the pop ular belief is that the existing schedule will be continued probably for six or nine months.

No real selling pressure developed although there were bearish features, such as small mill talk ings and the large British tonnage losses. Last prices showed net gains for the week of h1 to q points.
 Weather conditions were with, rather than against, the market, because of low temperatures and continued dry weather in the extreme western belt In the closing session rains were reported in south Texas but without affecting val ues.

MARKET REVIEW
STOCKS AND BONDS

New York. March 17-Stocks were steady to firm during the dull week, the moderate daily turnover being due to diminution of activity in speculative issues. With the advent of the next Liberty Loan only three weeks Nkff. banking interests discouraged extrava- gance or excessive operations for either account
 Rails were at all times the outstand- ing feature, coalers imparting decided strength to transportation as a whole. The only striking exception was Canad- ian Pacific which suffered an extreme loss of z points as result of proposed heavy war tax burdens.
 Announcement of the 15 per cent freight rate increase to eastern roads lost some of its sentimental value. inasmuch as all added earnings go to the govern ment under the new system of federal control.
 Standard industrials that is, leading steel and iron shares, as well as cop pers hesitated because of uncertainty regarding the new price schedule. Mo- tors and allied specialties were only lit- tie affected by the proposed curtailment of that industry. and shipping and oils were responsive to Intermittent pres sure

Weather reports may furnish the incen- tive for the early trading of the week. On "Wednesday the census bureau will put out it's final report on ginning for this last season. and the trade as yet, is rather uncertain over what to expect. Estimates thus far made range around Il u,O0c,000 bales, and probably anything under that would cause buying. while figures materially in excess would cause selling.
 Week end brokers letters quite gen orally predicted that it would shortly become weather and crop market, but world politics may, at any time. become the chief influence to be considered.
