Getting There First.

Senator French, of Maryland, now
touring Europe and writing his impress
sions to the New York World, says the
Germans are rapidly monopolizing the
-rade of Russia. Though no more in
sympathy With communism than we
are, the German bushes men are not
singing themselves to sleep with the
fiction that sovietism is on the last
lap OF the toboggan, or that Lenine and
Trotsky spend most of their time send
ng each other to Jail. On the con-
trary, they are sending commissions
20 find out what Russia has to sell
and what she wants TO buy, and they
are financing exchanges of products.
Among the trade thus secured, SEN
ator French mentions one hundred To-
comotives, manufactured by the
Krupps for Russia, and another order
FOR a similar number booked. They are
also sending optical goods, cutlery. and
scores Of other manufactured products.
In return, Germany is buying up the
products of the great hemp fields
south of the Baltic and securing a vir-
5ual monopoly of that product. Wood
pulp, grain, and many other things
which the Russians are still managing
70 produce, are among the things taken
IN exchange for German goods.
This may mean a great deal Great
Britain was checked by the coal strike
lust as she was opening up the Rus
sian market. But there are German
English syndicates trading at Petro-
grad and Moscow, and there seems to
oe a vital partnership of the two ma
lions in exploiting this trade
America passed it up as sour grapes.
Possibly it may be found however that
the British and Germans. who were
nearer to the scene of action, and per-
haps less inclined to censor the char
acter of their cutomers. have beat
as to one OF the worlds greatest
sources of wealth: for, in spite of all
belief and prejudice to the contrary.
there is a possibility that a modified
form of the present Russian govern
ment viii restore that country to ae-
tivity and lead TO the development of
its wonderful resources. We are quar-
reling over zap and China. Why not

Who'll Answer This PIea7

Homes for babies-the little ones
one, two and three years old-are not
difficult to find. Many families want
The babies and are willing to take
them from the Children's Home So
eiety Of Florida, according to a letter
rom Marcus &C. Fagg, superintendent
IF that organization.
But, superintendent Fagg writs
here are others from five to fourteen
years old who need homes just as
much as do the babies. Perhaps there
are families in st. Petersburg or Pinel-
las county which will answer this plea.
Anyhow, here it is:
Never before In the 20 years Of the
great state-wide work of the Children's
orphan and homeless children needed
good homes as at the present moment.
The receiving home of the society in
Jacksonville and the branch in Pensa-
cola are both filled to capacity-and
other children are coming in daily for
whom there will be no room unless
'amily homes in large numbers can be
sound at once.
Good homes are needed especially
FOR boys and girls over five years of
age and up to IA. There are plenty Of
applicants for babies under five-so
that the great need is for homes that
will accept children over five years Of
age.
All that the home society requires IS
that families who apply for children
are of good character and able and
willing to give a child a good educa-
ton, love, care and a fair chance in
the world, and tht the child will be
treated in every way as a member Of
the family.
The society will give full informa-
ton in regard to the history of the
child, and places all children on APP
prevail for three months before re-
quiring any permanent arrangement
for the child.

service under the sun, send in your APP

Is the Governor Immune I

Governor Small, of Illinois, assumes
a rather unique attitude toward the
pending criminal prosecutions against
him, according to the news dispatches.
Briefly stated, it is that the governor
of the state he Is beyond the reach
of the law. This necessarily involves
official defiance to the criminal court,
the theory APPARENTLY being that while
it is the duty of the governor to en-
force the law against others, he Is
himself immune from it's penalties. It
is even intimated that Gov. Small may
avail himself of the state militia to
protect himself from arrest by the
sheriff.
The impression on the country of
such a contention, if it is not being
exaggerated by the news agencies, IS
not reassuring. Whatever his technical

both in his personal example and in
official action. The charges against
Gov. Small are very grave-those of
embezzling public funds in large
amount and of conspiring with others
to do the same. He of course, pleads
political persecution, but If he shall
insist seriously on official immunity,
1t win strengthen suspicion that he
has no other adequate defense.
Different governors of Illinois have
held various views regarding the en-
ployment of state troops. but none. we
believe, has ever heretofore used them
to shield himself from arrest. Gov.

PRESS COMMENT
PeIlaara in the South.

SsieiSTd IN TIE 0OuLn.
Tie Moultrie Observer has a timely
and interesting article on the above
subject, that is worth careful reading.
1t Is reproduced below.
"Pellagra In the south may be due
in some parts to the low price of cot
ton, but it is, to larger degree, due
to bad system of feeding. The aver
age man boots at the suggestion that
thousands of families are poorly fed
when they get three meals a day, have
a crib full of corn and meat in the
smokehouse. There is far too little
known about the balanced ration we
have begun to study it with reference
to feeding hogs. but we have given no
thought to it in feeding mothers and
children
There are too may homes where the
variety of food is limitd, though the
quantity of 1t may be plentiful. Too
many homes In the south, and too
many here in South Georgia, where
children are not directed in their eat
ing. Too many homes where dairy pro-
ducts are not used on the table. Too
many families without gardens, with
out trees, without the custom of can
ming fruits and vegetables to use
through the winter
1.-THE most difficult thing about the
whole matter Is not that thousands of
people are eating the wrong things,
but that they cannot be reached by
those who seek to give information
that they need. They have prejudices
against Home economies workers"
and against teachers of new ideas. of
cooking, eating and housekeeping. The
man who knows least about preparing
and selecting food, and is hard to get
to with helpful information.
What to eat, when to eat how to eat,
is important Information that should
be impaired to children in the schools.
We may have to wait for the next
generation to change the family ration,
though the present generation of our
people have the greatest variety Of
cheap food about them that is access
IDLE to any people under the sun. You
can instruct a child, when you find it
impossible to reach the parents. Pei
lagra is not the only evil resulting from
a bad system of food selection and
food preparation. Innumerable ills fol-
low the badly regulated diet. Good
feeding and sanitation is the best fam
lily doctor just as it is the best hog

PLANTS USING
MORE WATER
Increased Volume of Work
Causes Water Dept. to Re-
port Increase
TAKEN AS A GOOD SIGN
Consumption of Water Re-
TAKEN AS A GOOD SIGN
Consumption of Water Re-
garded as indication of Re-
vival of Industrial Business

The amount of water consumed by
the industries in this city has always
acted as a prosperity barometer and
the reports received by the Board
of Water Commissioners at their
regular meeting last night would in
dicate that conditions here are i'm
proving as the water consumption on
the part of factories is slowly in
creaSing.
During the war this consumption
was greatest and the water barome-
ter" reached it's highest point. Fol-
lowing the signing of the armistice
and the subsequent discontinuance
of war work in the factories, not only
in this city but south of the Raritan
river as well, there was a big drop
in the amount of water used. Dur
ing the war it was a problem to meet
the demands but during the past
year thousands of gallons of water
have been running away daily. owing
to the decreased consumption.
The gradual increase in the
amount of water being used by the
factories is encouraging as it would
seem that business is beginning to
pick up at the industries again after
4 period of inactivity such as is
found Immediately following every
war.
Increased water consumption by
factories means increased produc-
ton. Increased production means in
creased employment and increased
employment means money for those
who have been without work for
months owing to business depres-
yion, is the general opinion.
The pipe committee reported fay-
Orably upon the laying of water
mains in Keene street from Amboy
avenue to Chester street and in Kreil
street from the present main to the
Pennsylvania railroad. The board
decided to accept the recommends
tions and lay $50 feet of eight-inch
pipe.
Superintendent Samuel J. Mason
when questioned about the water sit
uation said that the new reservoir
is now filled with water and is meet
ing all requirements. Now that the
new reservoir is in operation a
steady pressure is available and it is
not necessary to have the pumps
running continuously at Runyon.
