Against Criminal Waste of Food
stuffs in the Manufacture 4
Of Booze.

At meeting of the County Farm
Bureau, held in Fresno, Cal, Marcel
S, the following resolution was passed
unanimously:
We, the directors of the Fresno
County Farm Bureau, represent
ing the farming interests of the
community, and realizing that I'LL
timately the winning of the great
war in which we are engaged is
going to rest upon the farmers
' of our commonwealth as the pro- .
ducers of foodstuffs for ourselves
and our Allies, and realizing fur
Their that the vast amount of grain
and other foodstuffs consumed in
the manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors is an objectionable waste
in these times when our nation
is called to conserve, and that the
consumption of the products of
the distillers and breweries as dis
pensed by the open saloon tend to
incapacitatc the labor when it is
demanded that every person con-
tribute his best in production;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That as part of the
great farming and producing COM
munity of our nation we hereby
enter our protest against the con-
tinued waste of grains and food
stuffs in the manufacture of intox-
icating liquors and to the open
saloon, the greater menace to
production and conservation OF
food.

that fact will be recognized by them.

SENIOR CLASS
wins HIGH HONORS
BOYS AND GIRLS OF THE SENIOR
CLASS OF THE .CoRDELE
HIGH SCHOOL HAVE FINE
RECORD AT MEET

1t is Interesting to nOte how many
points the senior class of 1918 at the
Cordele High School has won in the
three last district meets, since it help
ed substantially in the recent meet
but will never aid in another.
In April. 1916 members from then
the second year class won IA points.
C0rtez Whitsett won first place in eX-
preston Audrey Dekle second place in
spelling, Glover Macarthur third place
in defamation, and Ruth Sandrett
first place in girls essay. Some OF
the boys also entered in the Athletics.
Never Lafore or since had so many
points come from only a second year
class.
This splendid record was continued
in 1917 when Glover Macarthur won
first place in boys essay and Audry
Dekle second place in spelling. Mabry
Kennedy won third place in high and
broad jumps and short put.
In Dawson as is fitting for senior
class, she won half of the entire num-
Der of 25 points won by the High
School. Max Boniske won first place
in boys essay, Sara Stroller second
place in girls essay. Emma Maddox
second place in recitation and Glover
Macarthur. together with Lee Near
thur. now a second year pupil. won
first in debate.
Another interesting thing to note
8 the number of contestants in the
| essay contests prOably the most dif-
ficuIt one we have for the last three
wears. five out OF six contestants
have come from this class. They have
won three first places and one second
place, total of Is points.
However in less than five weeks
the class of 1918 must yield her place
to another. She is prescriptions
enough to think that this place cannot
be entirely flied, for a time at least.
However. it will be interesting 10
watch the succeeding classes and note
whether or not they can measure up
10 their standard.
