COT THERE FIRST.

A London dispatch says that "Great
Britain is trading again in Germany, al
though peace has been in effect less than a
week and active plans for direct trading with
interior cities are aready under way"
The dispatch also reports that Great Brit
ain is making big profits in the sale of
wooden and cotton goods, these stocks being
exhausted in Germany. The British press
and many merchants are showing anxiety
toward German business agents and German
wares, but big business and big manufac-
turers have no such qualms."
Business is business. John bull got there
first in Germany with these goods. He broke
the Russian embargo, and placed his wares
before the Slavs, bolsheviki and all Russia
John Bulls traders never sleep at the switch
They know where there is a market, and send
their goods to that market.

THE AWFUL PRICE.

A few days ago several thousand mothers
and fathers crowded the railway stations in
Vienna to bid goodbye to more than 1000
children from whom these parents were
parting forever and who were being sent
into foreign lands to be adopted by strang-
ers to prevent them from dying of starva-
ton in the city of their birth. The par
ents remain 70 face the horrors of food
less existence. Already $4,000 starving
children have been sent from Vienna alone.
It is estimated that several thousand more
will be sent before relief is available. The
world has never witnessed such tragedy.
Humanity has never looked upon such a
scene.
The people of Austria are the victims of
their own acts. They have brought all the
heart-rendering agony of surrendering their
children upon themselves. Less than six
years ago at the behest of the tyrant who
ruled them they entered upon a war in
which they had no interest except as their
servility would add to the lustre of the
crown and the glory of the emperor. They
fought on an hundred battlefelds, and shout
ed themselves hoarse at the mention of the
name of their ruler. Today the soldiers
who survived the conflict are sending their
children to unknown foster parents to live
according to the chance opportunities which
may come to them and to forget father and
mother Pathetic were the scenes depicted
at the depots of Vienna when mothers part
ed for all time from their babies and
fathers saw the last of those for whose
existence they are responsible. 1t is an awful
penalty to pay for the glory of war.

GOVERNMENTAL EXTRAVAGANCE

The appropriations for all purposes of
government made by congress for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1915, was $1,094,-
8,102, from which was deducted revenue
derived from the postal service amount
ing to $313,364,6 67, leaving the actual ap-
preparations payable out of taxes $3.50, 803,-
435. The "Book of Estimates prepared
by the government for the guidance of con-
gress in fixing estimates for the current
year places the total of these amounts at
$4,865, 4O1 ,O31, against which the estimat-
ed revenue of the postoffice department is
S392,713,673, leaving the estimated-eX
pense of the government at $4,473, $685. 1853,
an increase of 1862, 891,9 1923 in compari-
son with the actual expenses in 1915.
Four important items are not included in
the "Book of Estimates" cited. Three of
them are legislative items enacted after the
completion of the estimates and the other
is the amount due the railroads which could
not be determined until the time when they
would be returned to their owners was fixed
The legislative items carry fixed amounts
They include what is known as the Sweet
bill carrying an appropriation of $3,0O0,OOO,
the water power Dill carrying QzO,ooo,VoO'
and the Fuller bill carrying S68,OOO,OOO'
The railroad estimate is fixed by experts
at 5000, 900. If these items are added
to the total already given it makes grand
total of $685. 96,358 actually demanded
bv the government for the next fiscal year.
IF expenditures are increased by additional
legislation like the Kenyon. Americaniza-
ton bill, which carries considerable ap-
preparation as it passed the senate, the
total amount the government will have to
raise for the next year is not far from
$4,000, 900, 0OO This money must come
from the people, yet members of the house
during the discussion of the rivers and har-
bors bill, which is a partial waste of public
funds, tried by every scheme known to as
tute Legislators to get appropriations fol-
insignificant projects wholly without
merit.
When the enormous expenditures which
will be required for next year are consider
ed and when the high cost of living is com
bined with high and direct taxes it is es-
sential that the public make itself heard
in no uncertain manner concerning lower
expenditures in national state, county ano
city governments.

The Peanut Ham.
From the Macon Telegraph.

There are those of US who know that for
flavor and richness of meat for nutty sue
culence all its own the ham from the peanut
fed hog properly cured stands alone in all
the world of pig. There is nothing so good
there might be nothing to equal it in the
future save as some drove might break into
a pecan orchard, chew down the trees, and
eat the pecans. Peanut fed hogs are mo-
nopoly to the southeast; Georgia is the
great hog state of the southeast
We have made the Georgia peach and the
Georgia watermelon household and bywords
for special quality so that they sell on fresh
markets in the north and east for a steady
and established premium over all other
peaches and watermelons whence they may
come This has been done by the individual
growers bringing their products to a high
and dependable quality and then getting to-
gether to make them standard state prod
uct sold through a general clearing house
agency devoted solely to that job. 1t has
brought millions of extra dollars to Georgia
and brought great prosperity to those who
Joined the movement as well as those who
blazed the way.
We may easily add the Georgia peanut
ham to the list The very attractiveness of
the words themselves should make even the
most cprsory advertising campaign success
full to the point of gaining for the product
an Immediately hopeful reception from
large public. If once that person who has
been eating cornfed hams ever nuts his teeth
into the peanut variety he's through with
cornfeds.

They're in Every Town.

The following bit of sarcasm now going
the rounds of the press is said to have APP
peared in a Kansas paper:
"What We need in every community is
more fellows who will attend to other peo-
Piles business. The other people are too
careless Of their business, and overlook too
many points. Besides, they don't know
anything about their own business affairs,
anyhow. The fellows who devote most of
their time to other peoples business are
more efficient, and can handle the other
mans business better than he can handle it
himself. They admit that fact, SO it must
be so. The fellow who never had bank
account can give the bank president all
kinds of pointers on how to improve his
business. Then there is the man who can
tell the minister just how to preach and
how to manage his flock. Very few editors
know how to run their papers, but the fell
low who has been in printing office but
three times in his life knows all about it.
All towns would be better if they had more
buttinskys on the job Just because man
is successful is no sign he knows how to
run his own business. 1t is a paying job,
too-this thing of running other peoples
business"

A Tree as a Freebooter.
John T. Boifeuillet in Macon News.

John T. Boifeuillet in Macon News.
Athens has another tree celebrity of which
the city is very proud. Possibly this majestic
white oak enjoys the unique distinction of
being the only tree in the world that is
freeholder-the owner of the soil in which
it stands-the possessor, by deed of gift, of
itself and "of the land within eight feet of it
on all sides" This oak has been property
owner for something like one hundred years.
An old published account contains the fol-
lowing interesting facts in connection with
this unusual ownership:
"There is a tree at Athens, Ga, which is
an owner of land. In the early part of the
century the soil on which stands was owned
by Colonel William H. Jackson, who took
great delight in watching it grow. In his
old age the tree had reached magnificent
proportions, and the thought of its being de-
stroyed by those who should come after
him was so repugnant that he recorded a
deed, of which the following is part:
81, w. H. Jackson, of the county of Clarke,
state of Georgia, of the one part, and this
oak tree-giving the location-of the county
of Clarke, of the other part, witness, that
the said w. H. Jackson, for and in considera-
ton of the great affection which he bears
said tree and his desire to see it protected
has conveyed and, by these presents, does
convey unto the said tree entire pc session of
itself, and of the land within eight feet of it
on all sides"
