The Peril and the Wrong of Waste.

The Athens Herald observes that while it is
hard for Americans to learn to save, it is still
harder for them to learn not TO waste. 1t is be-
cause of habituaI wastefulness not in money alone
but in food also and in necesssries of all kinds,
that so many persons find their first steps toward
saving awkward and difficult. Wastefulness is
bad enough of itself, but even more deplorable
than the material ills to which it leads is the men
tai and moral inertia of which it is a symptom The
man who wastes money in these times is either ex-
ceedingIy stupid is guilty of downright indif-
ference to his familys and his countrys welfare
The woman who wastes food materials is sorely
lacking either in sense or patriotism. Right
minded and right-hearted people will no more
waste the nations sinews of war than true sol
der would sleep sentry duty.
Once supplant the mental and moral careless
ness which is the real cause of wastefulness with
alertness to self-interest and to duty, and there
will be no difficulty in acquiring the savings habit
None but the hopelessly dense-minded will fail TO
realize il they pause to think at ALL that saving is
now imperative both a matter of patriotism and
of individual security. Unless the rank and file of
the American people save money for buying Thrift
stamps and Liberty bonds. the Government will
not have sufficient funds for winning the war; and
unless they conserve the food supply that there
will be a surplus Of grain and meat to send our
Allies we may find ourselves reduced to a single
handed fight against the Huns. However times
may be after the war, whether prosperous or ad-
verse the man who has Liberty bonds or War Saw
ings certificates will have valuable protection
against misfortune and valuable aid to oppor-
tunity. Every man, every woman and every child
in America should save, if only dime or penny a
week The important thing is to get the habit.
Then the results both in material benefit and in
Understanding will follow, unfalingly and with
surprising speed.

IncreaSine Georgia Land Values.

There are cheering evidences of fresh activity
and advancing values in the sale of agricultural
lands in Georgia. The Wiregrass Farmer cites
from its territory a number of instances of land
prices having doubled since last autumn. Sixty
and eighty dollars considered
cheap for farm sites which would have fetched
only thirty dollars acre few seasons ago,
while purchases at upwards of hundred dollars
an acre are growing continually more frequent
These increases are attributable partly, of
course to the soaring prices of foodstuffs and
other farm products. With a worldwide shortage
of these necessities and a likelihood of its
tinuing for some years to come regardless of how
soon the war ends, there is naturally a keener
interest i'm farm investments. But there is an
older and deeper cause for the enhancing value
of rural lands in this State: it is the far-reaching
systematic Improvement in agricultural methods
which has been going forward for years past.
If there had. been no breaking away from the
tyranny of the one-crop plan, no advance in diver
sification, no adoption of scientific methods which
make for soil-building, there would have come no
such increase in values as witness. An
equally potent factor has been the extension and
improvement of highways, the development of the
common school system and the enrichment of
the domestic and social side of rural life. All
these agencies and influences prosperity-mak-
ers II is by fostering them that shall assure
continued advance in the value and develop
ment of farm lands and in the general business
activity which that bestirs.

The Lesson From Russia.

The world has learned to be very chary of all
predictions, however seemingly well-founded, con-
corning Kaleidoscope Russia. What day or an
hour may bring forth in that betrayed and bewil-
dered country, none can tell-least of ALL we I'M
agine, those who in the thick of the crowdlng
action. Messrs. Lenine and Trotzky may or may
be surprised at the upshot of their yellow ad-
venture. Whether not there has been method
in their madness German method, that is 70 say),
they and their deluded followers witness the
result of forsaking good friends and dalying with
an INSCRIPTIONS enemy.
The Lenine-Trotzky plan OF overcoming Prus-
sianism was to denounce England and America as
"capitalistic" repudiate Russa's national debts,
embark upon course of property confscation,
demobze the army and enter into conference
with German autocracy for separate peace. A
wondrously cunning plan. their admirers said'
which soon would bring the Kaiser to terms by be-
stirring the Teuton Socialists to make common
cause with the Russian BolsheviR.
Happily for Russia's future if not for her dark
present the Bolshevih not her only people
and their obsessions not her only ideas IT, as
official reports indicate, the Lenine-Trotzky Gov
eminent has signed purposes to sign peace on
terms of complete and slavish surrender, 1t viii
not be surprising if Russia sweeps into revolution
far redder than that which engulfed the Gar Ger
tainIy it is unthinkable that people with any
sense of national honor or any love of justice and
freedom will submit without protest to the shame
which Bolshevili folly and German craft have
brought upon them.
Regardless of what happens in uncertain Rus
STA however the effect has been discounted as
far as the military interests of the Allies on the
Western front are concerned Even if the Ger
mans have things entirely their own way from
Petrograd to the Ukraine they will not be able to
transfer to the West an appreciably larger number
of troops than the Allies already have calculated
upon meeting and prepared to counter. But
there is one palpable lesson and warning that we
should note we'll. The Russians ventured into
peace conference with the German militarists
upon assurances that the latter would negotiate
upon the principle of no annexation and no indem-
mites Kaiser Wilhem's ENJOYS and Emperor
harIs ENJOYS gave the Russian delegates solemn
promise TO that effect before the Brest-Ltovsk
parleys were fairly under way. But no sooner
had proceedings reached a critical stage thar the
Germans dropped all pretense of Cancellation and
flung their tyrannous demands brutality in the Rus
slams face A surrender of all her Baltic prov
inces and ports and the payment of four billion
dollars of indemnity-that is what Russia gets

gather, it is evident that the majority of
the people OF Germany, war-wearied though they
are. still believe stanchly in the Kaiser and still
cling their faith in ultimate victory for Prus-
sianism Not until that faith is crushed at the
battle front will the way be clear for powerful
emergence of the latent and subdued liberalism
of the German masses. Heretofore they have
found the policy of their militarists materially
profitable as in 1870, when France robbed
OF Alsace-Lorraine. In the present instance the
militarists point convincngly to their conquest
and possession of the richest portions of Europe
That argument must be shattered before either
the German Government the German people
will be in a mood to accept such terms justice
and enduring peace demand.
So, then, the one great truth and the one
great task for America today is, Secretary
Baker declares Ito put forth every effort for
successful conduct of the war" This applies
less to the rank and file of our people than to
the army and navy Indeed, it is upon the mil
lions in the homes in the fields and factories and
in all provinces of industry and business that the
task of the successful conduct of the war now
rests most urgently. For it is to these that the
Government looks for that material and moral
support without which the utmost valor and sac
rifce of our soldiers would be unavailinS. By
conserving food, by saving money for Thrift
stamps and Liberty bonds, by supporting the
divers agencies that are working for the soldiers
and sailors welfare, by living each days life in
active and cheerful loyalty to the nations cause,
the men and women at home will be striking for
victory That is the best thing they do to
hasten the coming of peace, and the only thing

Our One Great Task.

The task for us" said Secretary Baker in
speaking of how profitless it is to speculate
she nearness or remoteness of peace, 1.-The task
FOR us is to put forth every effort for successful
conduct of the war; thoughts should be cen
tered on this purpose, and the other things will
take care of themselves"
This is a peculiarly seasonable and wholesome
truth. We are now at a stage of the war where
all predictions those of general and ulti-
mate nature little better than mere guesses.
With firm and reasonable faith say that
in the end the Allies will win; and in the very
uncertainty and tenseness of the present we feel
the oncoming of decisive events. But for the
outcome of the Russian perplexity or the lkeli-
hood of a separate peace with Austria or the
chances of q revolution in Germany the prob
able day of Hindenburgs expected drive in the
West or any other of the numerous riddles that
fit like will-o'-the-wisps on the futures dark
verge, one mans conjecture is about as good as
anothers-
1t is certain. however, that We can not afford
for one moment to depend on Russian or Austrian
contingencies to bring German militarism to the
point where it can be crushed, upon discOn-
tent and disa1ection among the Kaiser's subjects.
True, there signs of divergence between the
Teuton allies and it appears at this juncture that
Germany is little better of in the Russian situa-
tioh than before the Brest-LtOvsk parleys-if in
deed she is not considerably worse OF. II will not
be surprising if developments in these directions
asgrsvate the political and social unrest already
mannest among the German people But no com
petent observers see more than possibility of
Austrfa's breaking from the HOhenzoerns any
time soon OF of internal conditions in Germany
becoming actually revolutionary before the ordeal
OF another winter sets in.
There is Just one way by which make
these possibilities definite and hasten their
maturing. That is by continuing to hammer the
Huns with all the strength we can muster. It is
well enough to maintain offensive in diplomacy
as we'll as in arms; each of President Wilson's
frenrhant statements of aims has
strengthened the Allied cause and weakened the
enemy's But from the most dependable accounts

4 RUBBER !.
BATTERY INSULATION
Willard Storage Battery Company
Successfully Meets Age-Long Prob
lem Affecting Motor Cars.

Only those who are familiar with
the storage battery industry and have
closely watched the development of
this important part of the motor car
can fully appreciate the significance
OF the recent announcement by the
Willard Storage Battery company, OF
Cleveland, that 1t has been able to
perfect a threaded rubber insulation
for starting and lighting batteries.
For years, so 1t appears. storage
battery makers have been struggling
with the problem of adapting rubber
for insulation in the motor car bat
terry. only to be baked by some one
factor.
Rubber has the durability neces-
sary for protection of the plates, but
this very virtue presents an obstacle
in practice: for solid rubber would
prevent free circulation of the elctro-
lyte and decrease the voltage neces-
sary for reliable starting

sorted to. but that raised new Difficult.

forations which would not allow

material from plate to plate and con-
sequent degeneration and ultimate de-
struction of the battery.
Many devices have been tried ont.
such as introducing other separators
in addition to perforated or solid
rubber insulation, but this again In
creased the size and weight Of the
battery beyond the limits which have
been FOUND commercially practical
The problem was then to use rub

1t is interesting to note that In soiv-
ing this perplexing problem the Will
lard company departed entirely from
the idea OF boring holes and resorted
to method as surprisingly ingenious
as IL is affective. The use OF thou
