Announcements
FOR JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT
To the Voters of the Cordele Judicial

To the Voters of the Cordele judicial
Circuit.
l announce as candidate for the
Judgeship of the Superior Court in the
approaching primary 1t is known
that while judge l, in the term of NV
oath, administered justice without re-
spect to person, and did equal rights
to the poor and the rich. That |
protected peaceful citizens from the
habitual criminal and showed leniencv
to the young and unfortunate, without
breaking the heart of faithful wives
and loving mothers. To this record
If Judge again, l will add one more
thing--l will reduce the present ex-
penses of Court and thereby materially
lower taxes. Present hard times and
high taxes have cut off many from the
voters list. While for this reason they
cannot vote, yet, l especially ask
their influence for return to real old
fashioned fairness and economy.
Yours sincerely,
tt. D. A. r. CRUM.

Among other things Mr.. Stottrup
said that the ideas Of the teach
err and the home should coipcide.
The pulse of the people can be
felt through the school as well
as through the press and best
through the school. Some critics
say that the school is conducted
too much along factory lines in
fact 80 similar that whistle
might as we'll replace the bell on
the school. The finer soul quail
ties are forgotten too much and
the goal Of the diploma is too
apparent. The developing of the
brain a'one does not make a
balanced ration. Many evils of
the day are caused by this un-
balance and the finer soul quail
ties should be priced more. II is
very well to hold up Washington
Lincoln, Roosevelt and others as
examples but the good examples
must also be set fer the child in
his daily life. He must mingIe
with the right kind. The speak
er also said he had come to the
conclusion that big salaries would
not be the cure to get the best
kind Of teachera-those with
higher ideals and something
more than a diplomas big sal
aries would attract the other
kind as we'll.
After Mr.. Stottrup's talk q
lively discussion was entered in
TO on the advisability Of having
an agricultural department in
the local high school and also the
hot lunches in which many took
part. Arthur Ellingson. the high
school principal. also spoke in
favor of getting a piano for the
school.

LABOR PROFTTEERJNG
DEPIORED BY HOWARD
National Farm Rureau President
Sees Better Prices for
Farmers Who
Stick.

J. r. Howard. president of the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton. in an address delivered at
University Farm. St. Paul. last
week. said labor has no more
right to profteer than has capt.
tai. Mr.. Howard attended the
second annual meeting of the
Conference for the Prevention of
Grain Rust.
Mr.. Howard thinks the farmer
who sticks to his industry soon
will be rewarded by an era Of
higher prices.
Mr.. Howard told of q former
senator now practising law in
Chicago. who. in remodeling his
home. had employed several
plasterers. These workmen were
paid SIC a day. extra pay for
work on Saturday afternoons and
Sundays. with the privilege of
resting on Monday and Tuesday.
Il believe. he said in telling of
the circumstance, that these
laborers have a right to . fair
wage. but such obvious profteer-
ing is intolerable. These high
wages. in the last analysis. fall
on the farmer. who can not pass
them to others
Mr.. Howard said he was look
ing forward to a shortage of farm
labor with corresponding de-
creased production. This step in
the cycle will be followed by
higher prices for those who stick
10 the farm.

what it really means to be a

When q mere boy his father gave
him Ia acres of land which he
put into potatoes. This was an
experience affording some edu.
cation in economics for when he
came to sell the potatoes IL cents
q bushel was the best price he
could get. 1t also dawned upon
him that the producer has
nothing whatever to say as b.
the price he gets for his pro-
ducts. Since this first small ex-
perience in farming Shipstead
has been . student Of agricultur-
al problems and has done what
has been within HIS power to
solve them.
Dr.. Shipstead attended the
