Mayor Jim Key of Atlanta came
down and gave us a good talk on
government ownership as it applies
to our water power He says our
state should be given the authority to
develop our own water power for the
benefit of the whole people, instead
of allowing few to do this work
for the purpose of robbing the peo-
pie. The North Georgia .Octapus
known as the Georgia Railway and
Power Co., says we should not be al
lowed to do this for it might make
taxes little higher, and that the dear
people would not have any voice in
said taxation. Well, let's see, the

chairman OF the Railroad Securities

ton is composed principally of the
head of Insurance Companies who
have loaned the railroads large sums
OF money, and have taken the bonds
of the railroads, assuming of course
that the interest and principal would
be paid when due.
However since the Government re-

Some curious things are being

Also Won can ship bolt of goods
from New York to South America

HELP MAKE FARMING

PAX--Fitzgerald business people
who are dependent to a large ex-
tent upon agricultural prosperity
and feel today more keenly than
ever, this agricultural depend
ence, have an opportunity this
week to start an effort for more
prosperous farming.
This week is no better time
than any other, but as good as
any.
The Ben Hill Farm Bureau
will hold its second cooperative
live stock sale Thursday at the
farm bureau stock pens. The
bureau sale last month was high
ly profitable. Farmers who en-
tered the sale got 81 cents for
the same class of hog that was
sold for o1z cents by farmers
who came to town to look for
their own markets the next day.
1t is probable that there were
thousands of pounds of meat
ready for sale on the day of the
last cooperative sale that were
not brought in that day. The re-
suit is that considerably less
money was turned loose than
been sufficiently advertised and
# merchants had taken an inter
est in seeing that their rural Gus
toners knew about the sale.
But the avenues through which
the Individual merchant can CO.
operate with the farmer are mar
row and limited. His best means
of helping to build prosperity for
his customers is through the
Chamber OF Commerce. The or
ganization has done lot of splen-
did work, as much, perhaps, as
any other organization in Georgia
has done. The conditions of to-
: day and those prospective for the
future demand a great deal more
attention to cooperating with the
farmer and his organizations
Such cooperation has begun in a
small way with the curb market
That was the work of joint com
mittee from the Woman's Club
the Chamber of Commerce, and
the Farm Bureau.
The suggestion by the Leader
several weeks ago that standing
joint committee of the three or
CARNATIONS be appointed to con
ceive and execute other projects
I for the community welfare has
occasioned some favorable men
ton from members of each ORG
anization. Such committee
could do lot Of good, but moi
until after it is formed.

Mesdames S. M. Whitchard, Lon
Dickey and H. A. Mathis appeared
before the Board of County Commits
sioners in behalf of the Curb Market

members fullying endorsing it.
Mrs. Whitchard also brought to
the attention of the Board alleged
violations of the gaming laws at the

commissioner that if such condition
existed at the Ben Hill county camp
it was without their knowledge anc
would be stopped.
The usual monthly reports were re
ceived by the Board, bills were or
dered paid and other minor matter
passed.

ing Americas industrial and la
Dor problems can find an inter
esting object lesson in the news
OF the week, printed in The
Leader and all other daily pa
pers in Georgia,
Two strikes were in progress
Monday and are still in progress
today. In England miners have
struck and are entering a cam
paign OF sabotage that will do
inestimable damage to England,
to English business and to those
foolish miners who are DESTROY
ing their own jobs by wreckine

they worked. In Georgia rail
road strike is in progress. All is
peaceful. American laboring
men know that unguided Might

plete victory. Adopting a peace
tul, lawful attitude, they are
waging strike which, if it takes
longer to win, when won it viii
not take so long to capitalize.
When the English miners end
their strike, however it comes
out, they will have lost heavily.
Their wild unresraint and sab
otage will have put their tools
and their workshop almost out
OF business. Without the mines
and their tools and their place to
work, winning will mean moth

win, their tools, the rolling stock.

Europe Is not the world. Agricultu
raj France, with a sure market for
her luxury exports, can live without
great imports. She has only 3s,000,-
600 of population, has huge colonies
and no unemployment. Great Brit

They cannot agree that everything
in Germany and the east shall re-
main economically sterile.
Security for $4,000, 900 French
against 100000 Germans is only
attainable permanently by affording
an equitable economic opportunity
from which the first germs of a
United States or Europe might grow
so that even the military leaders
would recognize the utter folly Of
another ruinous war.
Not Axis of the World
France continues to consider her
self the axis oh which the earth
moves. If she fails to realize tina
her duty today, as we'll as the duty
of all nations, lies in tnterna tional
cooperation with each nation con
tributing its strength toward a re-
building of the world, then she must
prepare to see all whose interests lie
in such cooperation turn against
her, not maliciously, but grouped
economically, that even Mr.. Hughes
promised moral solidarity with
France would soon loosen.
France is the only nation which
does not realize that the treaty of
Versailles, even if just, is worthless
as a constitution for a world which
desires progress and not the obliga-
ticn for ever gazing upon dungeons
and hospitals. Germany also once
had the delusion of being balance
between Russia and England until
they united against her.
The danger OF such plumbers is
smaller since Englands policy is be-
ing directed by the dominions of her
empire instead of by Downing street
1t is probable that a British Ameri-
can understanding concerning the
Pacific, Asia and sea power will give
hope of commercial reason which
would be better even for France than
hystericai cheer for greed orators
and an eternal fear OF a neigh boris
