Seek To Gust Stewards
Newly Elected Ordinary

Quo warranto proceedings, seeking
to oust j. V. Castleberry. the newly
elected ordinary of Stewart county,
have been filed in the Stewart Su-
perior court, it was learned here to-
day, and hard-fought legal battle
over the place is in prospect. The
proceedings are expected to be heard
oy Judge Littlejohn in chambers in
Americus at an early date. W. w.
Dykes, of Americus, has been retain
I'd to represent Mr.. Castleberry. It
understood the proceedings allege
hat Mr.. Castleberry has not been a
resident of Stewart county a suffi-
cient length of time to permit him to
,dold the office.
Mr. Castleberry was elected ordi-
nary couple of weeks ago in spe-
cial election over Col. N. H. Butt to
fill the vacancy caused by the death

reserve of vitality, his card is with
drawn. When he appears next day
he is denied admittance. He is
again out of the starving line; he is
merely hungry.
Some other child, who has been
hungry, but is now starving, has tax
en- his place. True, failure to get
this extra food may mean that with
in the next week or tvs he will have
lost all the strength gained by the re-
lief already received and that he will
be back again within the line of
actual starvation. But until he is
back below that line again he can
not have the bowl of soup or cup of
sweetened cocoa and slice of bread
to which he had become accustomed.
Food is only for the starving!
That, DR.. Kellogg says, is the stu
alton the readers of the TimesRe-
corder should bear in mind when
they consider whether or not they
shall aid in the fund for European
children's relief.
Five million children are hungry,
famishing. But the utmost of relief
that can be given from the money
now available-and carry the work
through till new food is grown in the
hunger-swept lands-is to feed fewer
than three millions of the five. Food
only for the starving-nothing for
those that are just hungry! Yet the
hungry of this week will be the
starving of next.
america does not realize-does
not even sense-the terrible desola-
tion and suffering through out Cen
tral Europe" Kellogg declares. "If
she did, surely the relief so sorely
needed, needed absolutely if life is
TO be sustained in certain sections
would be Forthcoming Immediately.
For American fathers and mothers
will not WILLINGLY sit bv. in the midst
If plenty. while children whose lives
they might save from the substance
they now waste slip from hunger to
starvation and to death"

Conditions AS They Ex-
list In Europe And
Near East
BY HARRY B. HUNT.
N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Feb. eff four
children came to your door crying:
Were hungry" and you only had
two slices of bread in your house,
what would you do?
Why. you'd break the slices in two
and give each child half a slice, of
course! You wouldn't stop to deter
mine which child was hungriest, which
in greatest need of food.
Yet that last. is exactly what the
American Relief Administration has
to do in distributing food to the hun
cry children of Europe, according to
DIR. Vernon Kellogg. No child is en-
titled to food simply because it is
hungry. If all the hungry were fed,
the food supplies in hand would
quickly be exhausted.
Food, under the restrictions neces-
sary to make most effective such re-
lief as is possible with the money in
the European Children's Fund, is only
for the starving. The determination
of which child to feed, then, and
which to turn away still hungry, be-
comes a matter for cold scientific cal
cuiation.
All the children that crowd around
the child feeding canteens maintain
ed by the Children's Fund, are hun
cry. That is why they are there. If
they were not hungry they would not
stand patiently in the long lines shiv-
ering as the winter winds cut through
/ their scant clothing.
Serving at each of the canteens
where the children come for food arc
volunteers physicians. A child with
out food cards comes up. His pleas
| for Just bite-a bowl of soup, q
piece of bread-are wholly disre-
garded. Of course he's hungry. All
| the children are hungry. But MUST
he have food to live?
He is measured, weighed, examined
for ricketts,, famine edema, tuberculo-
sis. His weight is checked against
! his age and height on tables scienti-
fcally setting forth just what he
should weigh. His general condition
is noted; the extent of emaciatlon
his apparent reserve strength.
He is questioned as to just what
food he gets at home, and the nutri-
tive value estimated.
On the basis of this showing, and
not on the basis of any gnawing hun
ger pangs, it is determined whether
or net the child may be given food.
Heartless? Seemingly so. and yet
absolutely necessary if the available
food supplies are to be eked out so as
to save the greatest possible number
of lives The rule is not: "Feed TIE

are starving-they may have food!

FOR SOLDIERS

County Go on Record
for Legislation.
JUST MATTER OF JUSTICE

Cookeville, March 22.-(Special.)-
A mass meeting OF the service men
OF Putnam county was held at the
courthouse here Saturday afternoon.
About 500 former soldiers from all
over the county were here. and leg
islation proposing to give a bonus to
service men was discussed.
The meeting WAS presided over by
q. G. Boyd, a local attorney, who
served in France. Mr.. Boyd, in a
brief address. advocated the pro-
posed legislation. He recalled the
difference between the wages paid to
men who worked in munition plants,
shipyards and other wartime indus
tries and the $50 a month paid to the
men who we're called into the army.
Repayment in part to the latter for
the financial loss sustained by virtue
OF their services in the war Is not
a question Of gratitude. but that OF
paying just obligation, he said.
Maj. Thomas Finley, in advocating
the proposed legislation, declared the
men had been forgotten, now that
the war is over, and that they would
not be thought OF until they were
needed again.
S. d. White, adjutant OF the To-
cal post. American Legion. made an
appeal for members to the legion and
enrolled about fifty new members.
The meeting unanimously adopted
the report of the committee an reso-
buttons, presented by the chairman of
the committee, w. Ross Burton.
