PICKING UP LOST YEARS

The problem of how young students
are to pick up the lost years of war
after having served with the colors,
so that they shall not suffer for hav-

solved by universities, collegs, profess
sional institutions and the Appoint

The University of London is al

engineering and economics.
The Law Institution is caring for
its young legal students by having
passed the solicitors Articled Clerks

articled may count the period of war

remaining small element or loyal
western farmers.
1t is now a long time since there
was great shortage Of wheat for
bread, especially since there is like
| lihood of having to come up with
billion dollars of the public funds with
| which to pay the wheat growers for
another bumper crop. 1t seems every
where a great mistake and there will
be condemnation even in the south.
But was it 4 mistake? There was
world shortage of food when this
plan of guaranteeing a good price was
hit upon. The war was not terminated,
and no one knew how long the world
| would have to fight Germany. 1t was
time to insure good wheat crop, for
it was known that food would win
where all else failed Making bread
was precaution of tremendous i'm
portance. We needed the great wheat
crop then. The only safe thing was to
prepare for it, Our government did it.
No matter what party was in power,
the same wise precaution would have
been taken, and today the wise repub-
lican will be able to see the necessity
of it as well the wise democrat The
billion dollars for great wheat crop
is but small expense compared with
the threat Of hunger that might have
faced millions of people had the war
been prolonged as it seemed it would
be-
The old cotton farmer of the south
did not have sense enough to want
his price fixed. His was not food
commodity and hence the price fixing
was not vital. He raised such rum
pus that the government left him in
the worst fix possible, complete vic
tim of the gambler Now he wants to
condemn the government for leaving
him just where he wanted to be left.
and for all this the democrats will
suffer.

This is a good season to have our
work or fight law enforced. There is
n general demand, crying need for
good help in all lines of business. and
the greater this demand becomes the
larger is the idling force. On all sides
are young men looking for something
easy. All classes of men seem to pre-.

cause SO many people prefer to re-
main idle. Say what you please. but
many thousands of laborers get so
much for days work now that they
do not have to remain employed half
the time to live. Talk about steady
labor! Shall ever see it again?

Are you wearing your hat these days
with the curl in it for the enrichment
OF the cotton crop? That's stylish now,
but how much cotton acreage are we
going to cut? What have you to offer
in its place owe have some farmers in
Crisp county who can make cotton.
That's Il settled fact But we also have
some who have not yet learned how
to keep the weevil from helping them

make It and then watch the weevl
help gather it. 1t isn't poetic at ALL

Every time we see something about
finding work for the returning sol
diers, we wish we had voice loud
enough to be heard from one end Of
the land to the other This section
needs a million laboring men and wo-
men, We are looking for many of our
negroes when competition develops
in the other sections of the country
to which they have drifted in large
numbers since the war started When
ever you are, if you find returning sol
der who wants work. send him this
way. We mean business. This is an
offer on behalf of the farmer who still
needs assistances badly.

We are especially proud of the fact
that Crisp county is going to have
over 300 acres of tobacco this year. 1t
Is all chance as to high prices for
the crop but 1t is now very nearly GER

tobacco crop,-a crop for which the
weevil will have little use.

MANY NEEDS FOR 1T

Mayor Land while serving as head
Of the municipal government also has
to serve as head of the Cordele board
of trade, and in his daily rounds he is
lately finding mail from all ends Of
the country bringing inquiries about
Cordele 1t is really fact that bust
ness enterprises are hunting new
locations in wealthy, growing south
Georgia
Our sister cities have found this
ance of being equipped with a board
Of trade. These same inquiries that
are being made about Cordele are al
so being made about other sister
cities. Do you suppose when our may
or has to answer that we have no
| board Of trade and he is simply ans
wering to assure an answer through
cOurtesy,-do you suppose Cordele
makes u favorable impression? Not
much.
An example: Up in the east the
owners Of a large sanitorium for spe-
! cial treatment asked if they might
find room here for a very large insti-
tuition. They already knew something
! Of the advantages in central location
and were quite sure, possibly, that
| they could serve all south and cen.
trail Georgia through the institution
if they came here to build. That caus-
ed them to ask about Cordele But if
they asked about Triton, FITZGERALD,
Albany and some other close neigh
bors, do you soppose they get the in
formation that this community has no
board of trade? Do you wonder that
industrially we are behind?
Let us remind ourselves that we are
&oiag to stay behind Just as long as
we remain too careless about the
board Of trade. This is an institution
every live town has and everybody
knows it. A town without onehas some
thing wrong that stranger would
fear to ask about. The odds are all
against us iw we started after some
against us even we started after some
state institution, right here at home
Our next door neighbor saw We arc
holenterprising~ DO you blame him?
We have thousand things we need
attend. A gingery board of trade would !
be godsend for Cordele We have the
men, There is not a. town in all Ceor- |
gla with a harder working set of bus.
mess men. The truth is, they have
such a volume of business on their
hands all the time that they are nm.
able to give any time to public af.
nlirs But Is that wise?
Is 1t not time to realize that orr !
good name cannot he maintained Jar
out IN the ever changing industrial
world unless we have a trade board
which can put system into our daily
movements for the public good. Snat.
ches and spurts cannot help rs II
must be a permanent business like !
agency whose principal function is
10 help the town in every public en-.
terprise. instead of spending all the
money it can get hold of ON worthless
goose chases.
1t is getting about time we realize
'he meaning of good trade board
1t is one of the organizations without
which no live business center can ex.
list, We exist but we are not very
much alive outside of our own private
offices.
