One hears much of the under
paid" school teacher but there
has been a marked increase in
the pay of teachers recently and
they appear to be about as well
paid as members of any profess
sion. A young woman, out of
college two years and having
taught two nine-months terms
of school, was offered a place in
an Idaho school at $3.50 for
nine months but refused it to ac-
cept position at $500 for nine
months. The superintendent of
the school which offered her
1880 for the term is getting
$1,000 for nine months school
and that can hardly be regarded
as a low salary any more than
can the pay for a young woman
who gets $500 for three quart
ers of a years work at six hours
a day for five days in the week

WHAT is THE PAPER TRUST
TRYING TO DO?

The Old National bank of
Spokane In submitting it's report
upon trade conditions on July II,
had the following to say of the
paper situation:
The paper situation is show
ing real improvement. The out
put of American mills is increas-
ing, imports have been running
much larger than a year ago and
exports much less. With wood
pulp imports, decreased exports
and a radidly decreasing con-
sumption the paper situation
should now right itself within a
few weeks.
The market proceeded to
right itself" by staging one of
the sharpest increases in print
that has occurred in all the time
of the rapid advances of paper
prices. 1t is now quoted at SIG
a hundred and still going up.
The reports of trade condi-
tons indicate that paper should
have reached its pinnacle price
and should now be having a
downward trend instead of an
upward shoot.
The present market condition
only indicates that the paper
producers, like the gas and sugar
producers, are going to get
theirs" regardless of the moral
law and before congress shall
finally do something with trade
pirates.
Congress adjourned without
taking up the woodpulp situation
and it is likely that the next con-
gress will talk the league of ma
tions to death again before it
will get around to considering
relief for the consumers of art
icles which it is patent are being
held up in price.
The paper trust is fast sending
newspaper owners out of bust.
ness. 1t would serve them
right and our congress right if a
gigantic boycott were organized
and the papers all over the coun-
try should go on strike and fol
about month refuse to issue a
paper. News print would come
down at the end of that time all
right enough and congress would
be meeting in special session to
find relief for the long suffering

WOOD CASINOS NOW
USED ON BREAK
FAST SAUSAGE

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept.-Good day,
!, did you eat any wood for breakfast
I No, how do you know you didn't?
Do you know that they have started
making sausage castings out of wood
in these United States?
So when you speared that juicy
sausage this morning, you may have
been breakfasting partly on wood,
though you knew it not. And for you
the talked-of "saw-dust diet" may have
become reality.
And the chances are that while
dining or breakfasting on wood, you
are touching wood, too, if you are
eating at a marble table in tile pal
ace. That is, if you wear socks, for
many of the alleged silk socks now
on the market are made of wood fibre
as are many of the cheaper silk
neckties, and it is said that wooden
clothing has been followed by paper
clothing.
Wooden heads there have been a
plenty of for a long time, and the in
dications are that these, too, are on
the. increase.
Is this wooden age?
- There's no denying this is wood.

MAY USE ELECTRIC POWER
TO GET RICH MINERALS

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 24.-The
State Geological department predicts
a rapid development of Georgia's min
eral resources in the near future, as
the result of the vast electrical power
from Tallulah Falls, the Burton dam
and other water power of the state
now under consideration by 'opwer
companies.
Certain regions of Georgia, it has
been known for years, are rich in
minerals which may be mined to great
advantage, but in many of the isolated
sections the question of getting power
at reasonable rates has always stood
in the way.
The work of the Georgia Railway
and Power company has carried ire
mendous power possibilities into many
of these sections. The result is already
being strongly felt in agriculture and
manufacture, and the mineral develop
ment, it is. stated, is now only a mat
ter of a short time.
The geological department is already
il possession of definite facts giving
evidence of what riches lie undevel-
oped in Georgia beneath the surface
of the earth, and what can be produc-
ed by being properly developed.

CITY WATER Plant SHOWS
SANITARY CONDITION; REPORTS
CIRCULATED ARE UNJDsT|F|ED
No Apprehension Felt for Purity OF
Water

For several days rumors affecting
the condition of the city water have
been afoat in the city, predicated on
a mistaken report sent out by the
State Health department through the
A. B. & A. Railways recent analysis
A careful investigation of the al
legged statements proved them false in
every particular. The stand pipe,
which is completely covered, through
which the city is supplied with its
water, shows no sign whatever of de-
terioration and no foreign matter can
possible find entrance into it, as the
base is solid concrete and the tank
reaches 100 feet into the air, covered
firmly at the top. The three concrete
receivers into which the water is lift
ed from the deep well are also COW
cred over, so that it is impossible for
any foreign matter to enter from the
top. Since the water has been in
daily use in the city for over twenty
two years out of the same we'll, been
analysed annually by the State Health
Board and found SO per cent pure all
these years, it was a matter of sur
prise to the members of the Water and
Light and Bond Commission and the
city authorities when the report OF
its latest analysis reached them.
Mayor Pittman received the infor-
nation through City Health Officer
L. S. Osborne that the alleged report
had its origin i'll mixup of a speci-
men of water sent in by the Central
of Georgia and the A. B. & A., and
the analysis credited to Fitzgerald,
when it should have been credited to
point on the Central of Georgia.
The Fitzgerald water is all right.
Health Officer L. S. Osborne has for
warded additional specimens of the
city's water to the State Board of
Health for analysis, taken direct from
tour different sources, the stand pipe,
the reservoirs and an uptown faucet
which will settle all doubt in regard
to its purity.

THE PLAYGROUND
MOVEMENT IN
FITZGERALD

Fitzgerald has been added to the
list of American cities in the play
ground movement. On account of
the great possibilities held out by the
reserves of Fitzgerald, this city is
expected to make considerable prog
ress in this direction.
Community Service, Inc, the nation
al organization which has been asked
to lay out a playground, and recrea-
ton program, for this city, has re-
ceived reports from all over the coun-
try which show that 428 cities during
1919 maintained 10000 Fairgrounds
and recreation centers Under paid
leadership More than thirty cities
in the United States took up this work
for the first time last year. Although
full reports for 1920 have not been
tabulated, the expectation is that a
great many more cities will be actively
engaged in playground work this year
Georgia will stand pretty high in this
list when the 1920 tables are completed
because number of communities in
this State in addition to Fitzgerald
have or will open Fairgrounds this
year.
An important feature of the play
ground movement is that leaders are
being developed for this work. A
demonstration of playground activities
under expert guidance usually results
in local talent being obtained to help
in the work. This is expected to be
the case in Fitzgerald. The older
girls and young women as we'll as the
boys and young men, supply leaders
quite frequently.
The importance of recreation and
playground work in the average Amer
lean city is shown by the fact that
in 1874 communities last year, more
than $6,500,000 was spent for the pur-
pose.
One reason why people are taking
up playground and recreation work is
that they realize the need of being
neighborly and doing something for,
one another. A platform of recreation
on which everybody can agree, at
least in the average kind of communit~
is the playground. Around this idea
OF Fairgrounds, however, it built up
the general recreation plan. Recrea~
ton in 1919 and 1920 laid more EN-.
phasis than ever before on community
spirit, and spirit of that kind is being
first toward the children.
The playground program in Fitzger-
aid will work in with community
muse, community dramatics and COM
munity athletics, so that the grown
ups as well as the youngsters will
benefit.
Throughout the United States veri-
table army of men and women are
taking part in the movement that Fitz-
gerald has just joined. More than
5000 persons were working on play
grounds last year, and this year the
number will be even larger. OF this |
number, LASS worked Throughout the |
year. Thus the people get more use
out of their Fairgrounds than ever

WATSON FOLKS, Be OF
: GOOD CHEER, YOUR SENATOR,
THOS. {. WATSON IS ALL RIGHT.

We went over to see him, in COM
pany with Charley Weaver, Red Jones
and I. M. Willbanks, and those ofFus
who have known him for thirty years
Wereaagreeably surprised to find him
IN such robust physical condition,
stronger than in his younger days,
and just as full of enthusiasm and as
Rantensely interested in the welfare OF
the common people as he was in the
old days of the People Party, when
he fired the woods in the bloody
Tenth, twenty and thirty years ago.
:. He has a magnificent home, away
= from the noise of the town, situated
in hickory and oak grove, where
thousands of squirrels peacefully play
undisturbed in the trees, and fraternize
with the visitors.
We arrived at his home about FIVE
O'Clock in the afternoon of last Tues
day, and though we found him in con-
sultation with some law clients, Mr.
Watson gave US a demonstrative re-
ception and invited US to his parlor,
pending the departure of his business
visitors. When his business was dis
posed of Mr.. Watson gave us two
hour conference 1t was in this con-
ference that we could feel his old
enthusiasm return, as he spoke of the
several plans which he hopes to bring
to successful termination in the senate,
each of which will directly bear on
the welfare of the people at large
Though many of Mr.. Watson's early
platform demands have in part been
incorporated in some of the measures
! passed by republican and democratic
congresses in the past, each have, had
some strings tied to them which will
Shave his attention when he enters the
Senate next March. Of his greatest
! concern at this time is the status of
Liberty bonds, purchased by the mass
es through patriotism and allowed to
fall below par through the manipula-
ton of the moneyed interests which
are largely in control of the affairs OF
the nation.
y Mr.. Watson is much interested in
the election of Mr.. Hardwick, and
hopes that his friends will rally to
him on October 9th.
Mr.. Watson impressed us with the
fact that he has no old scores to settle
with former opponents or their sup
porters, but that he will without pre-
JUDGE represent the whole people in
so far as his ability will warrant and
the opportunity presents itself. He
is thoroughly in accord with most of
the Congressman elected, and counts
these among his personal and politi-
cal friends, giving him assurance of
their support when needed for the in
~terests of his measures in Congress.
To Speak Here During Fair Week
+ Mr.. Watson accepted an invitation
extended to him from the Fair Asso-
citation to speak here during the Fair
of the week of October 18th to 10th,
the exact date to be fixed later.
