REAL mex" CASE
Virulent Smallpox Scare in
Topeka Settlement.
DR.. III. L. Clark Busy Vaccinat-
ing Mexicans Today.

Topeka has a case of Mexican:
smallpox, a more virulent type than
the kind of smallpox which has been
fairly plentiful in Topeka and Kansas
during the past winter and spring.
This new case is in one of the local
Mexican colonies. 1t has been quar-
antinued and all persons known to
have. been exposed have been vac
cinated.
Today DIR. H. L. Clark, city health
officer, assisted by a nurse, vaccinated
all the Mexicans living in the Santa
Fe yards near the Shunganunga.z His
task was somewhat lightened by the
fact that most of the adult Mexicans
in Topeka bear deep pockmarks as
evidence that they had the disease in
Mexico. before they came to this
country. ~
All the remaining adults were vac
cinated by the United States public
health service inspectors when they
crossed the international boundary,
But nearly all the children born in
this country, and there is. a. swarm OF
them in Topeka's Mexican calony, hava
not been vaccinated nor had SMALL
pox.

CIemenceau last night. In these words,
the French leader accurately summed
up the prevailing impression.

show that on the whole the enemy
clearly suffered a check on the day s
operations.
The enemy gained a slight advan-
tage in the center on a front of three
and three-quarters miles, about a
fourth of the entire line of attack. On
the wings he was stopped with such
losses that five divisions have been
put out of commission. or about one
third of the divisions identified up to
the present as having taken part in
the attack. This was done without
the French reserves being called on.

CALL FOR COTTON SEED
PRODUCERS TO MEET
AT Hall of the House of Representa-
lives at the Capitol, Atlanta, at
2:30 p. m, Tuesday, Oct. 20

We are in receipt of the follow
ing letter. which is self-explanatory
We have no doubt that cooperation
of the producers in this case will be
profitable, and we suggest that the
growers of Cobb County be repre-
sented at this meeting:
Madison, Ca, Oct. p, 1918.
Mr.. Editor
Please permit me through your
columns to invite the people of your
county to attend the convention OF
cotton seed producers and business
men generally, to be held in the Hall
of the House of Representatives at
the Capitol, Atlanta, at 2:5O p. M,
Tuesday, October 10th.
The deplorable conditions in the
cotton seed industry can be RENE
died only by determined organized
effort. While the producer has been
silent, the mills, through their or
ganization known as the Cotton Seed
Crushers Association, have eagerly
"co-operated" with the Food Admin
istration, more or less editing the
information upon which prices have
been stabilized.
AS Federal Food Administrator,
Mr.. Hoover's only desire is to serve
the best interests of the American
people. In stabilizing the prices of
cotton seed and their products, he
will naturally welcome the patriotic
cooperation of the producers, and
all the information they can give
him.
To furnish this cooperation and
information, to aid the Food Admin
istration in preventing waste and ex-
ploitation, the producers of Georgia
have organized This organization
must be extended to other states, and
must be permanent.
1t is of the utmost Importance
that number of your patriotic cit
izens attend the Atlanta convention
on October 10Th.
Respectfully,

Pres. Georgia Cotton Seed Producers
Association.

able to reach us and when they did
they were immediate targets for ar

lost some men but not so many as
might have been expected under the
conditions. We think we now know
that the Boche are afraid to meet us
face to face and fight it out, but
prefer to retire and try to wipe us
out with artillery and gas. Both of

NEWSPAPERS GREAT
HELP TO GOVERNMENT
In Educating People to New Stand
ards of Living; Loans Would
Fail Without Them

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 24.-Although
American newspapers have played q
tremendous part in carrying forward
every detail of the governments
great war program, newspaper men
are not talking advantage, either here
OF elsewhere, of the essential nature
of their profession to escape mill
tary service or shirk any other duty.
Newspapers and periodicals, all
over the country have furnished a
long list of employees who fastened
to get into the biggest game of all
history, the winning of the war for
democracy.
Without the support of the news
papers, it is doubtful if public SEN
timent could have been sufficiently
educated in the short time necessary
to pass the draft act. Without the
assistance of the newspapers 1T
would have been extremely difficult
to disseminate the great mass of in
formation connected with the mach
inery Of the draft Without the news
papers it would have been almost
impossible to put across any one of
the four Liberty Loan campaigns.
Without the newspapers the Red
Cross, the Y. M. c. A. and all the
other war activities would have ex-
perienced hard sledding.
Why? Because the American peo-
pie are loosely organized democ-
racy. They cannot be ordered to do
this and not do that, as the German
government orders it's subjects. They
are free citizens who need to be in
formed. Then they will act.
