the war.
The statement says: "The entire
spirit of the administration in Wash

ginning, that the war should in no

eency and the prospective demands

Regarding elementary schools, the
statement says: There appears to
be nothing in the present or prospec-
tive war emergency to Justify cur
tailment in any respect Of the ses-
sions of the elementary schools, or
CT the education of boys and girls
under IA yearts of age, and nothing
which should serve as an excuse for
interference with the progressive de
velopment of the school system

couraged to find ways of performing

war value, such as activities connect

should be found to introduce into the

link up the public schools with the
ideals of service and self-sacrifice

to the consciousness of teachers, pu-
pills, and parents the essential unity

AS to the Governments need of
high school students. Secretaries
Baker and Daniels point out that
"the Army and Navy do not want,
and can not use, boys under Is years

oped physically SO far as the Army

ly and that no pupils be excused from
school for this purpose, except with
the written consent of the parents,
to accept specified employment for
definite term under responsible
supervision by the school or by other
approved agencies of the conditions
of employment"
Civil Service officials are equally
emphatic in their statement tlat no
thing can he gained by shutting down
The schools or by curtailing school
facilities, but they suggest that, since
civil service positions have been fill
ed by drawing workers from com
mercial and industrial houses, and
also by drawing teachers from ser.

and secretaries"
Regarding the need in industry
government officials maintain that
no emergency exists which justifies
any relaxation of the laws safe gard
ing the working conditions of our
young people. The official statement
points out that there are serious
shortages in industry already and
more are anticipated, but "boys and
girls under Is years of age should

A MILLION PIGS

y MiGLtON FIGo
We will have to raise 100000 addi-
tional 200 pound hogs to get on self
sustaining meat basis in Georgia. To
do this, we must save q 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 atten-
zion to both the mother and the little
pigs We need not worry if the railroad
congestion continues.
At the present time, there is estima-
ted 10 be one billion pounds of pork
N storage fl this country Washing
ION reports dated March LIST show
there has boon an increase of IT'S per
cont Of pork in the South Atlantic
states of which Georgia is one. This
large drplus which has flied every
place 1T 10 store meat is caused by a
lack of transportation. Practically so
percent of the congestion is caused by
government operations of one kind and
aother. This has prevented the meat
now in storage from being moved
The foregoing information is given
to explain a situation that now exists
and to remove any fear that there will
not be a good market for hogs this
summer, With the taking over of the
boats from Holland by this country,
no doubt the meat supplies will he
moved soon. There is every reason to
save every pig and raise every hog to
maturity so that the storage plants can
be filled up as soon as empty. Other
wise there is danger that Italy may go
as Russia did-Russia was hungry,
If the railroad congestion continues
throughout the year Georgia will not
be able 10 buy meat this fall from
northern states that have heretofore
supplied this food A lot of men are
figuring on getting money from their
cotton to buy meat. The farmer, how
ever, will not be exempt from railroad
congestion any more than the mer
chant. In other words. II may be one
time when money will not buy food
because II 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 dy-
ing from hunger.
Herbert Hoover, the Federal Food
Administrator says
The production of more fats IS to-
day critical necessity Every pound
of fat is as sure of service as every
bullet and every hog is of greater val,
ue to winning this war than a she'll"
Better be safe than sorry.

FACE FACTS WITH COURAGE


Abnormal conditions created by
war can be met only with abnormal
means. The sooner we face these
facts frankly the greater our ability
will be to prosecute the war to sue
cessful conclusion. To meet the great
financial strain which war has placed
upon us, there are three available
means at hand.
First, thrift;
Second, increased production;
Third, credit expansion.
It seems reasonably certain that
we must resort to all three methods
in some degree. and we should both
individually and nationally adjust
our affairs to meet the conditions
they impose.
A better understanding of what
these measures of relief imply GER
tainly must develop clarity of thought
regarding the whole situation. Con
! corning thrift there has been much
historical agitation and somewhat
unbalanced enthusiasm, which has
served to create counter-current of
resentment and opposition that is not
in the public interest No right-mind-
ed man will challenge the basic need
for rational thrift, but such thrift
| does not mean parsimony, nor does
| it mean the unsettling or destruction
Of legitimate business. The appre-
tensions which have been created by
some of the extreme thrift propagan-
da are unfortunate and not based up-
on sound economic or patriotic
grounds. So,
The normal savings OF the people
of the United States at the outbreak
of the European War were estimated
at $5,O00,OO0,OO0 or $4,000, 100000 a
year; in 1917 they were estimated at
$4,000, 100000 or $15,OOO,00O 900, and
an increasing measure of thrift is re-
| Elected on all sides--in the invest
ment market, savings banks, life in
surance companies, etc. To carry a
I thrift program beyond the point of
! this rational increase in saving could
serve only to depress business, de-
stroy values and create unemploy-
nent
| OF course it follows that the Gov
eminent should have right-of-way in
the production of materials for war,
but beyond that required for the
Governments present use there is q
tremendous productive capacity
which certainly should not be dried
up by arbitrary rulings or false &C.
onomic theories. 1t is certain that the
spirit of optimism must be kept alive
in our people and that good cheer is
an important factor in financing our
way to victory which must not be
| overlooked. 1t is out of such soil that
Government loans and taxes must
spring.
Business men and wage earners
cannot lend money to the Govern.
ment unless they can make money
And business must earn more mones
this year than last year. The Govern
ment is going to need more money,
and increasingly more money, before
this war is won.
There must be discrimination. of
course, between that which is essen.
tial and that which is non-essential
But no legitimate business which
can make money without competing
with the government, is non-essential.
Intact it is very essential because mo
ney is one of the most essential nun
iticns of war. And it should be re-
membered, the people who earn the
money in such businesses are among
those who invest largely in the Govern
ment war loans, and who pay taxes.
