iers from the North now in our
camps who desire to locate in this
state. Others whose homes are

need employment.
The local Chamber of Commerce
announced some time ago that it
would attempt to bring the dis

together. Since that the War
Camp Community Service and the

the same lines. To assist in this
movement, The Times-Recorder

EMBARGO PUT ON
IMPORTATION OF
HULLS into GA.

ATLANTA, Jan. 11-(Special.) In
order to prevent a further excessive
loss of foodstuffs through deteriora-
ton of raw cotton seed because of alb
solute consumption of storage capac-
ity, temporary embargo has been put
into effect in Georgia on the impOrtaa-
ton from outside the state of cotton
seed hulls
The order OF the food administra-
ton which is made Immediately effect
i've, and which was issued after in
vestigation, reveals considerable loss
in improperly stored and protected
raw cotton seed, and declares it will
be considered an unfair practice for
any mill to sell within the state of
Georgia any cotton seed hulls at a
price other than on a basis of SIC per
ton f. O. b. mill doorsN
After a careful investigation of the
seed situation and the accumulation
of other things in that storage capac-
ity needed for raw seed at the mills,
DR. Andrew NJ Soule. food administra-
tor, has issued the following order:

space heretofore provided by them for
the storage of cotton seed, thus pre-
Guiding the normal purchase by he
mills of further reserve stocks of cot
ton seed. and in view of the fact that
such enforced failure on the part of
the mills to purchase available cotton
seed has a strong tendency TO leave
much of the seed in the hands of the
producers and buyers in an unpro
tected condition. thereby causing a
very serious wasteage of foodstuffs, it
is hereby ordered that, effective inn

other dealers are prohibited from pur
chasing, holding or contracting for
any cotton seed hulls under any pre-
tense whatsoever from any person.

firms now engaged in business within

THE UNEMPLOYED.

An exchange observes that for many
years the business community has suf-
fered from periods of depression. The
most characteristic feature of these
periods was the great number of peo-
pie who we're out of work. 1t seemed
hideous anomoly that hundreds of
thousands ofsswho ardently desired work
could find nothing to do. 1t was a
breakdown in the existing social and
economic machinery.
These periods of depression aid un-
employment used sometimes to drag
along four or five years. People could
not find work until there was a good
demand for merchandise. And they
could not buy merchandise until they
had work. 1t was vicious circle of
idleness and inaction.
The experience of the war has de-
monstrated that it is not always neces-
sary to spend millions in public pro-
jects to find work for the unemployed.
Under ordinary conditions there are as
many employers seeking help as there
are workers seeking jobs. But they
may live long distances apart ard they
don't find each other. Hence. unem-
ployment. and all its miseries and dan
ger.
The recently organized United States
Employment service has found work
for millions of men. This greatly in
creased the fighting power of the
United States. But it has also sue
ceeded in carrying the country through
big part Of the readjustment period
without disaster.
There have been suggestions that
the appropriation for this national en-
ployment service be discontinued. 1t
would be a very serious mistake. This
service should be made permanent
bureau. 1t will prevent industrial de-
pressions from starting, Every time
you put an idle man to work. you stop
a center of social unrest and possible
bolshevism. The work of the Employ
ment Service is a triumph of American
efficiency.
