ExpIoslons.

Volcanic explosions are commonly
regarded as the release Of stores OF
energy kept confined by external pres
sure, and boiler explosions and geysei
eruptions are typical Of this class OF
outbreaks. An expert OF the United
States geophysIcal laboratory nnos
that another class Of explosions. that

are not likely to occur In volcanoes.
But a third class, that Of explosive
compounds brought into contact win

a price with his very fair and reasonable eight
per cent profit knocked off
The United States government owns the Mus
Gle Shoals project now. 1t has spent $28OOOOOO
to develope it to its present state. 1t will take
more millions to complete it, perhaps as much as
weeks interest on the Allied debt to America
II the interest were collected. Why not be Just
little less generous to the nations whose civil
lzation, and whose business, we saved in 1917
1918 and collect little of the interest on their
ten billion dollar debt to us. The farmers need
the cheaper fertilizer that the development "by
the people and for the people" of Muscle Shoals
project would make possible. And in case Of
Mother war the nitrate plant would be OF inesrI-
mable value.
Party politics to likely to play part in
the final decision on Muscle Shoals and the old
reactionary idea that the people must own moth
ing which can be made to show a profit may
prevent the development by the government.
However, if private interests are to- control The
Leader believes that Henry Ford is the man to
do the work.
Some unexpected and surprising things occur
occasionally. 1t is well not to jump at conclu-
siOns before understands them.

SHOULD THE STATE BUY THE A., B. & A

Whether it will materiaize in official action by
the state or not, the agitation for state purchase
OF the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail
road is growing general Georgia and the adj
vantges OF such move are being freely discussed
Once or twice before in the history of the rail
road its purchase by the state has been advocat-
ed and while the movement gained some head
way it never became strong enough to cause Of
fetal action The Leader was one of the strong
est advocates OF state ownership Of the road be
fore and If any possibility presents itself that
the state might take over the property now The
Leader would favor it heartily. State ownership
would give the road valuable connections at its
Atlanta terminals which it does not now enjoy
and would be great benefit to all the territory
served by the road
he road has at times in its past history been
dividend payer and, considering the present
business conditions in Georgia and all the Unit
ed States, the fact that it is losing money now
IS not such disgrace as some people seem to
think nor is 1t any evidence that it will not in
the future be profitable again. Operated as part
OF the Western and Atlantic with the saving in
executive expenses that such an arrangement
would permit and receiving preference in routing
of traffic from the L. & NJ lines, the leasors of
the states railroad, it would probably be able to
show profit even now
Georgia's industrial development has been
handicapped, it is generally admitted by the
lack OF well developed deep water port. With
state owned railroad as the last lap of great
railway system leading to Brunswick, that port
could be developed into of the best in the coun-
try 1t is a naturally good harbor If the bill
now before the state Legislature providing a port
commission were passed and the A., B. & A. alb
sorDed by the state at the same time and the two
projects co-ordinated, Brunswick could be made
the leading port of the South and Fitzgerald
would become the natural division point on a
great trunk line railway.

Ladies! Darken
Your Gray Hair
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
Back Color and Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark.
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients at small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Every body uses "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another ap-
plication it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy and lustrous.

HENRY FORD AND CHEAP N1TRArEs-

ANA TIM AMI CHEAP NlTRATE
Henry Ford has made very attractive offer to
the United States government to take over the
Muscle Shoals nitrate manufacturing project TO
complete 1t and operate it at eight per cent profit
ana turn 1t back to the government during any
period OF war emergency that may arise and
cause need OF nitrates for military use The
proposition is undoubtedly the best and fairest
that has ever been made to the United States
government by any private individual If any
u; the several bids from private individuals are
accepted by the Republican administration. it
would indeed be crime and mistake not to
accept Henry Ford's
BUT, if Henry Ford purchases Muscle Shoals
project 1t will be in fee simple and forever. After
Henry Ford with his broad humanitarian ideals
and his hatred of prohteering may come another
owner who will want to play the national game
OF "gouge the farmer" Henry Ford is mortal
man. He will not live forever But the waters
OF the Tennessee will continue to pour over Mus
Gle Shoals dam for thousands of years, until fin
ally the Appalachian mountains themselves have
run down the river into the sea- And the farm
ers OF America are going to continue to wait
nitrates cheaply even longer than that. 1t would
be boon to the farmer to get nitrates even

MUST FIND FUNDS FOR SCHOOL RE

PAIKS-tinancial talk at the present time is
rather delicate subject and tax burdened pub
lie IS inclined to grow irritable when it is sug-
gested that it be forced to more heavily burden
itself, even in the smallest amount But our
city schools have got to have some extra money
Tor repairs and there are no alternatives to that
SITUATION The money must be had The regular
appropriations for schools will be used to the
last dime to pay regular school expenses The
city treasury is badly depleted at present and
every nckle that the present years taxes will
raise Will be needed to cover the regular appro-
priatlons. 1t is possible that the CITY will need
more money than is now in sight Some danger
Is seen that both the police and fire departments
may over run their appropriations. So if the
Schoo buildings are to be made tenable the funds
must come from source ordinarily untouched
II has been suggested that the interest of the
citys bond sinking fund be brought out and used

boards ends to meet. That seems to be the only
source IRON which the money can be secured
and 1t must be secured

TO TAKE WHAT LITTLE WE HAVE


Triton Gazette-Do you know that the District
Agricultural Schools are the only educational in
st1tut1ons for white boys in South Georgia SUP
ported by the State?
DO you know that if these schools are abol-
lshed, the only institutions left for the higher
education OF boys in South Georgia. supported
by the State, will be two small schools for ne
groes?
This will be the case.
With practically all the States educational
institutions north of Macon, the recent agitation
would deprive us of the few we have for the
use OF boys. 1t would deprive the whole State
of all it has within the reach of the sons Of H.,
average farmer
Much has been said about the money snent
by the State on the Agricultural Schools Vet
'ile otate mas spent less on them than the com
minutes IN which they are located Shave spent.
M l'tton' there is an investment of Sl5OOOO
III the Second District School, For this school
the State has spent for maintenance in four
teen years about $l45O0O The annual appro-
prlation just about covers interest on the money
contributed, and free utilities also contributed.
The, schools land and buildings were donated
Tor use only for agricultural schools. When thew
are no longer used for that purpose they revert
back to the donors Thus to abolish these schools
Georgia would sacrifice property approximatine
in value $2O0OOOO
lhese schools have been of immense value as
educational institutions But probably thei,
greatest value to the State lies in the moral and
uplifting influence on their several communities
OF the students who attend them each term TIC
this influence, we attribute much of the revou
ton that South Georgia has undergone in the
past twenty years from an educational stand
point,
While many pretexts are offered bv the wreck
ing crew for junkng these schools, the real un
DERIVING motive is sordd greed 1t is remarka
bic that, in the hysteria disguised as economy
the first objects selected for the scalper's knife
should be Georgia's educational institutions We
nave pititully few now; not enough to meet the
demands OF Georgia boys and girls hungry for ar
education but in order to save money for the
beneht of politicians and office-seekers. on,
schools are the first to suffer
he movement to abolish these schools has its
underlying motive in greed not in ara desire foI
better agricultural education They are tbe on1y
means for such an education now within the
reach OF the sons and daughters of the average
farmer.
