WEALTH FROM BOGS

Impressed by the fact that certain
North Georgia swamp lands, former
ly of no market value, are now worth
three hundred dollars an acre as a
result of reclamation which cost less
than one-twelfth that amount, the
Jackson Progress-Argus makes a CO.
gent appeal for Improvements of this
kind throughout the Commonwealth.
Drainage it says, mot only
means the reclaiming of waste lands,
making two blades grow where none
grew before, but it also means bet
ter health conditions. This within
itself is an important consideration.
Georgia wills be richer and far bet
ter state when more of her lands
are drained and turned into highly
productive acres. A start has been
made. Much more will be done in
this direction within the next few
years. The Progress-Argus would
be glad to see movement started to
drain the eight thousand one hundred
and sixty acres of swamp and low
lands in Butts county. 1t would
prove a profitable investment from
every standpoint"
Our contemporaries plea should be
pressed in all counties where swamp
or wet lands of any considerable area
are found. Under a law enacted
some years ago drainage districts can
be organized and empowered to is
sue bonds for reclamation projects.
The work thus can be done without
burdening property owners or the
public; and in the course of compare
lively few years it will pay for itself
in the bountiful harvests which such
soils yield and in the high values
they attain. This is not matter of
theory, but of actual demonstration
on upwards of five thousand acres
in Georgia, and hundreds of thou

sands throughout the South, which in
recent years have been converted
from notwithstanding boys to health
full and richly productive farms.
In the forty drainage districts thus
far organized the Reclamation of
some fourteen thousand acres has
been planned. This seems a small
beginning when we observe that in
the entire State there are nearly
eight million acres needing drainage.
But the little leaven will leaven the
lump. Every example of swamp bot
toms transformed to luxuriant fields,
producing more than a hundred bush
els of corn to the acre and other
crops in proportion, inspires emula-
ton. And every word which public

PANHANDLING FOR UNCLE SAM

won't you please insert the fol-
lowing article" writes an army re-
cruiting officer located in South Geor-
gia. 1t is pretty long story, and
seeks to induce young men to enlist.
This officer represents the great
United States government. He has
been assigned to big task and has
been told "don't you spend penny
for advertising" His job depends on
success and success depends on pub
licity, and he is forced to panhandle
for it.
won't you please" is all he has
to offer His master has sent him
out to do business and has given him
no capital to operate on.
Such a humiliating shame for gov
eminent officials who have wasted
millions and billions on wildcat war
schemes and on the great army of
profiteers to turn penurious at spot
where a dollar will go further than
at any other one place, and force
army recruiting officers, civil service
examiners, federal tax collectors and
other representatives to knock at
newspaper Offices every day with the
begging sign.
Putting the government on plane
beneath box suppers and the church
festivals. Worse than the Castoria
manufacturers, who are willing to
pay twenty-five per cent of the usual
advertising rates.
If the Wilson administration has
any sense of pride it ought to stop
this disgusting panhandling.-Moul-
trie Observer.

THE METRIC SYSTEM
: THE BEST SOLUTION
Without it This Country is Handi-
capped in Race For World
Trade and Commerce
,he two stupidest nations!

The two stupidest nations!
No! Not Russia and Germany.
Nor even Nigeria and Timbuctoo!
But-Great Britain and the Uni
ted States!
Now, what do you think about
that? You don't believe it? They
are the most enlightened nations?
They are and they are not!
In some things, yes! In one great
vital essential of these vital times,
no!
For Great Britain and the United
States are embarking upon the colos-
sal world competition in all history
with the wrong kind of equipment
They are tackling world trade with
the wrong tools!
Two hundred and twelve nations
and countries are doing business to-
gether under the simple practical and
universally understood Metric system.
Two nations are attempting to do
business with the PIP under the old
fashioned, cumbersome, obsolete Ger
man system.
These two old-fashioned, behind
the-times, doing nations are Great
Britain and the United States!
And the system they are using was
discarded as worthless by Germany
half century ago!
The two greatest (?) nations in
the world are trying to do business
with Germany's cast-offs!
This, no doubt, is precisely as Ger
many had planned. Having tied a
weight to the heels of her greatest
trade adversaries, this cleverly cum
ming country removes her own weights
and skins into world commerce on
the wings of system invented by an
Englishman-James Watt in 1888.
Think of the irony of it: An Eng
lishman gives the world the logical,
decimal system of measurement which
Germany adopts to her tremendous
acceleration in commerce and power
and enrichment by billions of dollars,
In return Germany fastens upon the
land of the Englishman to whom she
owes so much the cumbersome tumble
of quantity expression that is ter
rible handicap to Great Britain in he1
world enterprises.
But the real tragedy is this:
The United States slavishly follow!
Britannia in her weights and meas
ures and retains them, while all the
rest of the world, except these two
adopt the decimal system which every
body understands.
1t is under this tremendous handi
cap that the United States enters
world trade. In all her dealings will
the Orient, Oceania, Latin America
and the remainder of the world cut
side of British possessions this coun
try must do business with two set!
of measurements-the Metric, to sat
isfy her customers; the German, tx
humor the obstinacy of her own man
ufacturers. But that obstinacy is cal
culated to cost those manufacturer:
tens of millions of dollars annually
in lost time and lost orders.-Sar

AUSTRALIAN GENERAL
PRAISES AMERICANS
He Says They Delivered the Goods
Every Time They We're Given
Anything to Do

General Monash, commander in
chief of the Australians, who fought
with Americans in France, gives our
boys more credit than some of the
British generals. Speaking of the
first thousand Americans who came
under his command he says:
"Those 1000 Americans covered
themselves with glory, and | can pay
them no greater compliment than by
saying that from that day on our
Australian veterans took them to
their hearts as full blood brothers"
General Monash declared that the
131st American regiment of the 33d
division, in company with the 18th
Australian brigade, fought a most
gallant and successful series of ac-
lions which resulted in the capture
of Chipilly Spur" when the great
counter offensive was launched by
Australians and Canadians in the
Somme sector on August 8, 1918.
''This," he said, "made secure my
left flank thereby enabling me to
get astride of the valley of the Somme
and hunt the enemy clean out of it
for 20 miles"
General Monash had under his
command in the closing days of the
war the whole Second American army
corps, more than 10000 men of the
9th and 3Oth American divisions.
This army, he said, overthrow the
Hindenburg defense system at its
"most strongly defended point. "
The share of the American divisions
in these operations was character
lied by General Monash as 'proba-
bly, the greatest single American feat
of arms achieved in the whole war. "
The operations were completed on
October 5, he said, and it was on that
night that "the Germans threw up
the sponge and declared their willing
ness to make peace on our own
terms"
II have been asked over and over
again to express my opinion of the
American troops" General Monash
continued. II am not going to be so
foolish as to attempt to do so here
and now, am only going to say in
your own expressive vernacular that
at all times and in every place where
I have used them the American troops
delivered the goods
"You may we'll believe that, this
close association in war of such large
bodies of Australians and Americans
has erected very real and lasting
friendship between our two democra-
cies. The foundations Of that friend
ship had already been laid many
years before by the visit of the Amer
lean battle fleet to Australia.
81 can assure you that Australia
attaches much Importance to secur-
ing and maintaining the friendship
of America. We look upon the Uni
ted States as our big brother in the
Pacific, and if any one of you has
reflected on the problems of the Pa
cifc, which are going to arise in the
future, he will know what | mean
by that observation"

Among those charged with prof.
teering are many landlords in the
cities where rents were raised from
20 to 100 per cent within short
time. Atlanta is all stirred up over
the matter, and Rev. ]. w. Ham is
active among those who are trying
to curb prices for rooms and homes
for the people. Numerous witnesses
appeared before the Atlanta Council
Committee to tell of unreasonable
advances made in rents. More houses
are needed before it can be hoped
to reduce rents.

The only scars left by the session
were the result of the bitter fight
which Macon waged for the removal
of the State capital and the equally
bitter manner in which Atlanta met
the attempt of her sister city to take
it from her. Some little rancor was
also brought about by the gratuitu-
Gus killing of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment to the constitution. Suf-
frage leaders resented the action of
both houses, stating that it should
never have been passed to vote.
The filibuster of ten days in the Sen
ate was the result of the friends Of

for it.

The high cost of living and meas
ures to combat the soaring of prices
of foodstuffs are the main topics in
Georgia's capital city this week. The
city authorities have ordered $780,
900 worth of United States army sup
plies and will distribute them through
local stores which will charge only
ten per cent for handling. At the
capital the measure creating the
State Council of Defense with broad
powers to regulate the sale and dis
tribution of food held the limelight
in the closing days of the memora-
BILE session.

So far there have been no intima-
lions from the Office of District At
torney Hooper Alexander of ANY
criminal prosecutions in Georgia for
profteering, but L. ]. Bailey, head of
the secret service in the South, has
sent his men out looking for evil
dence. Under the direction of the
president, very little mercy will be
shown the merchant who has been
selling goods on which he was making
profit greater than normal. 1t is
also intimated that severe sentences
will be given those convicted in the
courts.
The semi-annual debate on the
question of reading the Bible in the
schools of Atlanta has broken out
again. There is one faction who ad-
vocates it peryistently and at regular
intervals, while another set of city
builders oppose it just as regularly.
This time the board of education
wants it settled for all time and de-
clare that they are tired of the agi-
tation. Therefore, they have ordered
a public hearing for the near future
and propose to Hire Hail."

WASHINGTON, Nov. Senator
Hitchcock was summoned to the
White House today by President Will
o to discuss the program of reser-
vations which the senate is consider
ing.
Senator Hitchcock outlined the SEN
ate program to the President as the
first endeavor to defeat the reserva-
lions reported by the foreign relations
comittee. If that fails an attempt
to vote down the resolution of ratifi-
cation containing them will be made.
The move will be to present the reso-
luton for ratification and should a
deadlock ensue to attempt compromise
with republican opponents.
Hitchcock said if the resolution of
ratification containing the reserva-
tons should be adopted that would set
tie the fight so far as the senate is
concerned; but that the President
could pigeon-hole the treaty. He de-
clined to stipulate as to the probable
course of the president should the
committee resolution prevail.

RAILROADS RACE TO
OPEN UP NEW TERRITORY

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 29-(Associat.
ed Press)-With the rich Uintah bas-
in as their prize, men interested in
the commercial and industrial develop
ment of Colorado and Utah are laying
the foundation for a railroad building
race that promises to rival in inter
est the contests for completion of the
first trans-continental lines in Ameri-
ca.
Uintah basin straddles the Colorado
Utah boundary line. 1t is a virgin
country and is said to be rich in
minerals and to have almost invalu-
able agricultural possibilities.
Coloradoans have launched a cam
paign to raise capital to complete a
tunnel under James Peak, thus giving
the Denver & Salt Lake (MoffaD
Railroad an easy grade and short cut
into the basin country.
Backed by Governor Hadberger,
Utah capitalists are working on plans
for a $10,0 00, 900 railroad extension
from Craig, Colo, to Provo, Utah. This
proposed line would intersect the Uin-
tab country, and, if completed before
James Peak tunnel, would give the
Utah group first call on freight and
settlement of the Basin.
