them suitable support if they are liber-
ated by the dark forces in Russia. The
present apostolic successor Of Peter is
not only prince of the church but a
very human priest.

WARTIME PUNCTUALITY
URGED IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA-Atlanta business men
are very much interested in the move
ment summed up in the slogan, "On
Time In War Time which has
been launched with good results in
many counties over the country.
Briefly stated, the movement con-
templates that every business and in
dustry shall begin the days work
right on the dot; that every meeting
of every kind shall begin on the dot;
that every citizen shall keep his en-
gagements without delay; that the
whole operation of the economic ma
chinery shall proceed on schedule to
the minute.
One of the suggestions for stinu-
lating interest is to give prizes to
school children for compositions on
punctuality.

JIM CROWS SHADOW OVER THE
SOUTH

The South is looking upon govern
ment control of all railroads with con-
Germ. Southerners are fearful that
their Jim Crow cars will be abolished.
and that negroes and whites will ride
in the same coaches by government
order.
The race question is an affliction on
the South. 1t distresses negroes and
whites to an equal extent 1t is back
of much legislation in the Southern
states, and has its effect on national
law-making.
Jim Grow is responsible for most of
the South being dry Southerners
gave up their toddies and their mint
juleps so that the negroes might not
obtain strong whisky. Thus the colo
nels did a great thing for themselves
and a greater one for the negro race.
The suffrage question is wrapped up
with old Jim Grow down South South
ern statesmen are in general against
equal suffrage. They fear that if the
vote were granted to women the whole
matter of negro voting would be-
threshed out again. The Southern
states have in one way and another
pretty well DISTINGUISHED the negro in
spite of the prohibition In the consti-
tuition of that practice, and they want
the matter to sleep. ss,
The South and the nation would bel
better off if Jim Grow could be laid
to rest But that is another question,
and one that seems to be beyond solu-I
ton.

THRIFT STAMPS ARE DEMO-
CRATIC BONDS

The war is a popular war, and the
assistance of every man is demanded
to bring it to a speedy conclusion.
When there are so many opportuni-
ties to aid the country, no man, no
matter how poor he may be, has an
excuse for not doing his small share.
The government thrift stamps are
for sale to all the people, but they
were especially designed for sale to
men of small means. These men often
we're unable to buy Liberty bonds.
The thrift stamps offer them their
opportunity to buy bullets to end the
career of the Huns.
This is a democratic war. and the
whole people are asked to loan money
to their government. The thrift
stamps are the most democratic gov
eminent bonds-for that is what they
are-that could be devised
If you purchase thrift stamps you
hold government bonds that are as
safe as society itself and that will pay
you interest.
People of moderate means will make
a mistake unless they invest as largely
as possible in war securities.
Their money will go into the bonds
one way or another; If they invest
they will get the interest and If they
spend their money those who acquire
it will put it into government securi-
ties.
Their money will go into the bonds
one way or another; if they invest
they will get the interest and if they
spend their money those who acquire
1t will put it into government securi-
ties.
1t is all a question Of who gets the
interest, you or the other fellow. And
it is not a question of who pays the
interest, for all of us will pay our full
share of that.
PatrlOLlSm anu thFllIlheSS ueIndhu
that the poorer people buy thrift
stamps.
Buy yours now, help stamp out mill
tarism in the world, save a little
money, and get some Of the enormous
interest that you and your fellows wifi

T TAKES BRAINS TO BE CON
STRUCTIVE.

at is high time to put on the con
struction crew and fire the wrecking
gangs" George w. Perkins once said.
There is a whole philosophy in that
one sentence.
Any man can tear down. A stick
of dynamite will wreck a structure
that n hundred men were a year in
building.
There are plenty of hands for the
wrecking gang; the builders are too
few.
If every man would refrain from
criticism until he had a plan for bet
tering the condition that he had un.
der observation. how much carping
fault-finding would there be in the
world today.
Even an animal can be destructive;
but it takes a human mind to be high
ly constructive
If you are one of the continual fault
finders try to become one of the con-
structors. That will require you to
give your brain a little exercise, but
you will be none the worse off for
that.

EXTENSION FOR ALASKA
on INCOME TAX RETURN

; A blanket extension has been
granted of one month to those fling
income tax returns from Alaska This
order was due to the non-arrival OF
the necessary blanks in time for Alas
kans to make returns In the time
specified by law. The returns must
now be in by April instead OF by
March 1.
The order was issued by Collector
of Internal Revenue Williams Of Ia
coma, In response to many inquiries
sent south from Alaska.
Ever since the receipt of the first
blanks for making the returns there
has been a shortage, as the first lot
were soon exhausted. This has caused
many to delay making their returns in
the time specified, and on account of
the non-arrival of the blanks, the time
has been extended The wire also
stated that other blanks were on the
way north.
