THE MAIL ORDER HABIT

THE MAIL ORDER HABIT-During recent
visit to Savannah we were much impressed with
the appearance of its retail district; to us country
editors it seemed if the most fastdous could be
suited in any line in that city. But it does not
seem SO from the tone Of news story in todays
Savannah News which reads almost like it might
have been from one of it's rural exchanges Says
the News:
Some of the housewives of Savannah are accus-
ed OF not properly supporting home industry" and
|of offsetting much of the good work being done by
the men OF Savannah who are now busy speaking,
planning and advertising in behalf OF the city, ac-
cording to the Retail Merchants Association.
Some of the women folks it is said are ordering
their Spring apparel from travelling representatives
OF large New York and other order houses and 9th
crwlsc sending money away from Savannah that
should be kept here, according to the association
which believes that the increase of orders placed
with travelling statesmen of large mail order houses
Las materially affected Savannah's business"

A pair Of turkey buzzards were fly

alighted on the cross arm of a pole

Springs Call
~ By M

Springs Call
This is cleanup week almost every.
where in the South, particularly where
there is a Woman's Club to call at
tention to it locally. The civic commit
tee of the Fitzgerald club has been
given the charge of the city cleaning
campaign by wish of the other civic
clubs and the mayor and they have
decided to designate March 21st to
April lst as the date on which to car
ry forward a concerted movement for
a cleaner and more beautiful Fitzger-
aid. All those who fail to lend hand
on their own or the public grounds
are going to be quite out of the fash
ion and be considered as lacking in
the proper civic pride.
Blue Law for the Red Man
Public opinion having begun to lin
it to- some extent the immoral dane
ing of our own race, the government
authorities are warning our red broth
ers OF tht West that daylight ceremon-
ial dancing, because of its attendant ev
lis will probably be limited to one
day each month and to Indians over
so years of age and that bodily torture
and the handling of poisonous snakes
must be eliminated entirely while
county fairs or other corporations are
asked not to ,commercialize the Indian
dances. Drinking, gambling and the
neglect of farm work by the Indians
have been the usual accompanying fea-
lures of these public and ceremonial
occasions.
Big Brother to the Comeback
The Central Howard association of
Chicago assisted 100 paroled or dis
charged convicts to employment in
1922, also 500 boys were given moral
help and 400 men accused of crime
were given legal aid. This is a benev-
client association named for John How
ard, a sheriff of Bedford, England in
1873, and known. as the father of the
modern prism Improvement. The field
>ot work for this association is confined
to the central and western states and
their work has been continues for
p years. Other objects attnia.r = (
better Jails, more efficient court &C
ton, reformative measures for crimi-
mails. and better supervision of parol-
ed men and probatoners. They have
directly helped 1880 peresons at a
computed average cost of less than $40
each in the period OF their activities.
Estimated on the gross earning power
of the reinstated men the actual re-
turns would be enormous However,
these returns are to society at large,
not to the association, which is entire

Missionary Work for Glynn
The live and progressive Wonan's
Club of Brunswick find a need for
citizenship training or a possible mis-
sionary work among their sisters of
town and county according to a state
report that many of the woman tax
payers there wish their names strick-
en- from the registration lists as they
have no desire to vote and therefore
rebel at paying poll tax. The state
attorney general has been asked to
solve the problem as to the tax, but
the graver problem is an educational
one that every woman should learn the
value of her franchise or the moral
one that no voter should shirk her
duty.

Another life conserving use of the

the continued liability to spread the
infection to so many others during
long period which has never been pro

Teaching too Much!

The president of the Carnegie
Foundations says the public schools are
making demands beyond the ability
OF the public to pay when they try
to teach everything, as at present. In
crease OF maintenance caused by in
crease in numbers and in better facil-
itles for the primary object of gener-
al education and for better salaries of
teachers is justified in his opinion, but
to attempt to prepare children for all
different trades and professions, giving
smattering OF too many things has
a tendency to weaken intellectual disci
pine and enormously increase expen-
seS.

lions acceptable to both countries.
This is the new diplomacy-it Is the
only way"
1t is not likely that the Of
these friends OF Russia has been pro
NOTED by recent events In that land.
In spite Of the protests and appeals
from other lands, end it may be be-
cause of them, the central executive
committee in Moscow decided that the
sentence of death against Mgr. Butch
kavich, vicar general of the Roman
Catholic church in Russia, should be
carried out, and consequently the prel-
ate was executed by a firing squad.
The death sentence of Archbishop Yep
LAX, however, vas committed to i'm
prisOnment for ten years. The soviet
government openly and bitterly re-
sented the efforts of Poland, England,
the United States and the pope to save
these churchmen. England was told
that Russia, an independent sovereign
state, had the %undenIable right of pass
'ng the sentence to conform with its
own legislation on people who break
the law of the country" Poland was
informed that her attempted "interfer-
ence with Russian justice" was an un-
friendly act. The Moscow government
throughout showed it's extreme sensi-
tiveness to any infringement on its
sovereignty, and some of its replies
to the appeals were remarkably i'm
pertinent.
In southern Russia a serious peasant
revolt broke out last week, but it was
speedily suppressed by the Ukraine
soviet assisted by the Moscow govern
ment. Three hundred and forty
peasants were executed at Sehitomir
by firing squads.

n ERMAN resistance to the French
" in the Ruhr, which is actively
promoted by the government at Berlin,
is becoming more and more disastrous
for the Germans, whatever may be the
results for France. General Degoutte's
ultimatum to the German railroad
workers, promising expulsion If they
did not return to work, has expired
and it is expected the deportation of
these men will begin shortly. They
number about 125,0OO, and, with their
families, some 100000 persons may be
removed from the occupied region.
The railway men continue their cam
paign of sabotage, one Of their latest
efforts being the sending of a dozen
wild" trains Ove a line.
Germany is increasing her walls Of
%martyrdom because eleven employees
of the Krupp plant at Essen were
killed by French troops. There is
every evidence hat the workmen got
what was coming to them, for the
poilus-a small detachment-were sur
rounded by thousands of Germans and
violently attacked when they entered
the plant.
According to the French intelligence
service, the Steel Helmets, a secret or
~ganization financed by the German n
tionalists, is becoming very active in
the Ruhr and is preparing for armed
measures against the French. A car
load of weapons and ammunition,
seized by the Belgians near Doersten,
is said to have been intended for the
Steel Helmet. The French are heavily
reinforcing their garrisons along the
eastern frontier of the occupied region
and have a captive balloon at bort
mund from which the surrounding ter
ritory is kept under close observation.
TURKEY has accepted the sugges-
Il ton of the allies hat the peace
conference at Lausanne be resumed on
April Is, and there is good reason to
believe the differences will be adj
justed and a treaty negotiated. Renal
Pasha, being annoyed by increasing
opposition on the part of the radicals
in the national assembly, persuaded
that body to vote for dissolution and
ordered new elections Immediately. 1t
is practically certain he will have a
safe majority in the new assembly, K
necessary by adopting the electoral
methods that have become so familiar
in Mexico. One leader Of the oppo-
sition was treacherously slain recently
by an adherent of Renal, but the lat
ter promptly sent troops who brought
the dead body of the assassin to An
CORA, thus quieting an impending row.

TWO of the pacifist organizations
L which have headquarters in
Washington and whose ideas and
propaganda have often been declared
exceedingly mischievous by persons
who must be classed as real patriots,
have laid themselves open to vigorous
attack. They are the National Coun-
Gil for the Prevention of War and the
Women's International League for
Peace and Freedom. General Fries,
head Of the chemical warfare service,
recently accused them Of being unpa-
triotic and Of advocating communism.
To these charges the organizations
made vigorous reply, defending them
selves and their objects. At this writ
ing Secretary of Var Weeks is said to
be preparing to enter the controversy,
and though his stand has not been
made public, it is understood that he
will back up the accusations made by
General Fries.
On Wednesday the American De
Tense society, through its Washington
director, R. NJ. Whitney, issued a let
ter declaring that both the paciist or
CARNATIONS are working directly along
lines laid down by soviet Russia to
bring about the EARNED revolution"
The chief complaint against the or
CARNATIONS is that they are working
tooth and nail against all military pre-
paredness and seeking In every way to
hamper the activities of the army and
navy and to the peace-time operations
that keep the defenders Of the coun-
try up to the mark. For instance, they
tried to induce congress to throw out
the appropriation for summer camps
for the reserve corps, and, falling in
this, they now are sending broadcast
articles alleging that the camps are de-
signed to arouse a militaristic spirit
and indirectly to produce a
