CURED during the public career Of
this great Mussourian and the pre-
sident.
In his own state since he made his
attack on the covenant OF the League
of Nations fifty Of the members of
the legislature were so displeased
that they drew up a resolution and
signed it asking his resignation as
senator.
To enc who had an idea that he
was making such Roadway as an
anti-Wlison statesman this must
have been quite a jolt. 1t ought to
remain a jolt for season and for all
time for such a man. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that Wilson's own party
must harbor such enemies as Reed.

of him 1t will not be always before
he finds something else to do.

DOWN THE ROAD TOGETHER

A representative crowd of Crisp
county citizens started this morning
with permanent organization to get
an issue of $35O,OOO in bonds with
which to start paving the highways.
Every man present in crowd NUM-
bering fifty odd voted always in the
right direction. There was no oppis.
ton, and SO far as the Dispatch
knows to this good moment opposi-
ton has not manifested itself
Bibb county the other day voted
$l,5OO,OOO in bonds for public i'm
proyements of one kind or another
The campaign managers had to
bring up 5000 voters and get them
to cast their ballots, and out of that
number only siXty-two persons OBJ
posed bonds. 1t was a remarkable
showing.
Citizens of Crisp county expect to
do even better than that. They expect
to go down the road together in the
matter of securing permanent high
ways. They propose to be sure that
their highways are always as good as
any other in Georgia. They already
know that the little increase in tax
es which they will have to meet will
never compare with the wide adj
vantages. The larger the tax values,
the smaller the rate. The larger the
public improvement the faster will
the whole country develop. The one
public improvement will bring the
other and the progressive step taken
this morning means a ceaseless adj
vancement in every direction.
Citizens of Crisp county know
pretty well that they have no oppor
tunity to make an Improvement any
where that will be more general in
good effect than building permanent
roads. 1t means advantages to all
We 90 down the road together really
and in all sincerely when we agree
to build permanent highways. The
start is a splendid one Let no one
stand in his own light.

DON'T THROW THEM AWAY

Crisp county citizens hold over a
million dollars in Liberty bonds.
dicated that they do not know they
are worth the money put into them,
that they actually have a cash
value. This misconception of the
value of the Liberty Bond ought to
be set right in every holders mind.
If you have a Liberty Bond. re-
member that it is a security. back
ed by the greatest government on
the face of the earth A Liberty Bond
is the promise of the United States
Government to pay back the money
represented on the paper in the hand
Of the holder. 1t is no cheap promise.
1t is as good as currency 1t has been
validated till there can be no side
stepping when time to pay comes.
If you must have the cash on
your bonds, remember that you can
get the cash Do not understand that
there is an open cash offer always
for full face value, but there is cash
value that can be had and this re-
moves the excuse for throwing away
a Liberty Bond in a cheap trade
somewhere for something you ina
ginc is better than the Liberty Bond.
There are people going over the
country picking up all the bonds
they can get at the smallest consid-
GRAFTON possible. They will keep that
up till they regch the last sucker
and pick him Off. Please do not be
sucker. Youl bond need not be
thrown away. 1t is valuable,-is
more valuable now than ever, since
we won the war, and it will be more
valuable as business adjusts itself
and the reconstruction era is passed
Remember this warning.

REED GETS A JOLT

The other day Senator Reed be-
took himself down to the Missouri
house of representatives and made a
great address against the League of

dignity, all the logic. all the eIo-
quence he could possibly muster and
then he had this masterful effort
published in all his home papers and
also in all the papers from one end
Of the country to the other He was
specially careful to see that the
papers got the address.

Senator Reed is aiming at. He must

Just to keep the importance of
food crops on our minds during the
planting season, let us say again
that the demand for food will be
very great through the year. We

roads the United States is obligated
