THE END OF THE WARE?

THE END OF THE WAR?-We have before u:
report from the war in Europe. 1t is dated Apri
9, 1924 1t is the findings of the experts advising
the Reparations Commission. At this writing the
nations are trying to decide whether this lates
battle has been lost
Perhaps by the time you read this page the de-
cision will have been reached. 1t is favorable
one, the World War which began nearly ter
years ago, will be ended.
Some of thought it was ended on Nov II
1918, when, after more than four years of battle
the armstice declared That was the end OF
fighting with machines, the end of killing by bull
lets and poison gas and high explosives and cold
steel. But it wasn't peace.
Peace to have come of the meeting Of the
nations at Versailles. But it didn't. The war had
merely been transferred from the trenches to the
chancellories. 1t wasn't as spectacular as the 9TH
er, but it was deadly.
America called more than 100000 soldiers to
the colors. The world knows their quality as
fighting men. But the day when fighting men
could win final victory had passed
And so few months ago we sent another and
much smaller force to Europe. This new A. E. F.
Charles G. Dawes, Owen d. Young and Henry
M Robinson-had to battle against strong forces
of fear, hate, jealousy and greed. We hope they
have and that the real peace is at hand. 1t
isn't unless the plan recommended to the Repara-
tions Commission is accepted and put to work
The one thing certain is that no war will ever
again be won or lost on battle field. War can
loose forces that may push the world back to bar
barism, but neither bullets nor bayonets can tame
those forces. When real peace is again ours we
must guard it as the most precious possession of
manknd.-Collier's

McK1NLEYs PROPHECY REALIZED =

the published program of the Memorial exercises
of Colony Post No. IA, Grand Army OF the Re
public, prophecy made by the lamented martyr,
President William Mckinley, in speech deliver
ed in Atlanta in $685. has been realized
President Mckinley then said, Il hope to see
the day when the graves of all soldiers, both Of
the North and the South, will be decorated by
the patriotic people of this country
In the program appearing in this issue of The
Leader, the remnants of the Union veterans re-
siding in the Colony City, say it is ordered that
Colony Post No. IA, G.. A. R., shall decorate with
flag and flowers the heroes of all wars, sleep
ing in Evergreen cemetery, and other cemeteries
within our limits, REGARDLESS OF THE
UNIFORM THEY WORE.
A nobler sentiment could not be voiced by
these old veterans who thus especially honor
themselves by honoring their one time foes

THIS NATION OF YOURS No one realizes


how things grow in America, how rapidly we are
climbing toward really gigantic enterprises, wor-
thy in size of the richest country, Recently some
figures of New Yorks National City Bank were
published In May 1893, deposits in that bank
amounted to twenty-five millions, and total re-
sources totalled twenty-five millions On April |
of this year the banks deposits were seven hun
dred and forty millions, the total resources nine
hundred and thirty-four millions In the report
of this April the bank showed among its assets
more than ninety-five millions of United States
bonds and certificates And in thirty days that
nave elapsed since that report was published, the
bank has profit of million and quarter on the
increased value of its Government bonds. This
isn't government to sell short, and not one to

DO YOU KNOW'-One Of the first oua6ca-
tons OF city booster is that he shall know his
city, and be able to tell of it intelligenty to
those whom he wishes to impress with the ad-
vantages of life. Fitzgerald grows around
us IN many ways, yet there are few who could
mention the concrete examples of growth or tell
in exact terms why Fitzgerald is great place
i'll which to live
1t is not sufficient to tell the prospective resi-
dent that Fitzgerald is the finest town in the state
etc You must tell him why it is the Finest town.
1t is your duty to become an intelligent, as
well as an ardent booster for Fitzgerald Know
your city, and let others know about it.

Governor Walker does not seem to be worried
by prospective candidates to oppose him for re-
election, but continues to carry on" without re-
gard to politics in the future. Governor Walker
is strengthening his position by this course. The
people not in any mood for a heated political
contest this year and it may develop that they
will oppose any attempt to inject issues into the
summer campaigns that are foreign to the conduct
of public business in Georgia. Cliff Walker is
making good governor, the kind that gives con-
scIentious consideration to the states affairs as
they are brought up for his decision and the peo-
pie OF Georgia will stand by him.

TO WHOM CREDIT
IS DUE

The recent national anti-tuberculo-
sis convention in Atlanta brought to
light the fact that the originator of
the Christmas seal was Dane named
Holboell. He crossed the seas to at
tend this convention. Others may have
thought like the writer, that the anti
tubercular seal was an American idea,
perhaps growing out of Red Cross
work. While the Red Cross did spon-
sor this annual salSsat one time, the
connection is now severed, tho people
still enormously refer to these stamps
as "Red Cross seals"

The Atlanta Board of Education
have troubles aplenty. With the num-
Der OF school children ever on the in
crease, the boards predicament to keep
the roof over them and to have enough
teachers to take charge of them is
just about enough. Yet here comes a
suggestion from labor leaer and
editor in Atlanta this week that all
members of the Board should be re-
quired to pass an educational test to
qualify for the position. He argues
this qualification is necessary for
those who should pass judgment in

FATHERS DAY

Did you hear much about it? In a
few places a banquet for "Sons and
Fathers" concluded Boy Scout Week,
and in few other places, notably
Emory University a round of special
affairs were given in honor of Faith
er's Day. At Emory University a
banquet was given Saturday night,
special services in the chapel, while a
beautiful concert at o'clock Sunday
afternoon formally opened their beau
tiful new open air amphitheatre, and
fathers of the students gathered even
from other towns to be the honor
guests. Too rarely does the "govern-
or" the "o1d man., "dad" get any
special occasion of honor, though his
name is honored so much especially
on those checks in such incessant de-
mand by his ambitious sons and daugh
ters. AS a rule Father seems to deem
it privilege to use his name, his
time, and resources in this way, and
the young folks let it go at that for a
while. 1t is certain that some day
they will know and appreciate him
better.

CREDENTIALS CHANGE

For many years advocates of immi-
grafton particularly that from North
ern Europe of which Swedish and
Norwegian farmers formed large part
had for their main point of favor, the
need for development of large areas
of land which these capable farmers
would supply. The latest investigation
officially by the Swedish government
shows industrial workers in the ma
jority of those who intend to emigrate
to the United States especially from
wood working and metal industries,
and their destinations would be the
industrial districts of the east instead
of agricultural districts in the west
or middle west This trend overthrows
previous arguments in their favor as
welcome immigrants.

PEDESTRIANS
CONSIDERED

The Secretary of the State of Geor-

on the highways, is announcing his
purpose to begin movement for pro-
viding safe walks or paths along the
highways of the state for pedestrians
who until now have never received
any consideration, even for safety on
country roads. Only vehicles have
been considered in the building of
highways. so that sometimes there
may be an embankment on one side
and deep ditch on the other and in
the emergency ef two automobiles
passing each other, there is no choice
left pedestrian but to scramble one
way or another as he can for the safe
ty of his life. This would be a matter
for the engineers to work out in
planning the road ways but the
state could demand such provision.

County Is
Farming Extensively

Helena, June 9.-One of the best illus.
trations of the development of diversi-
fled farming in Montana over an extern
sive area is furnished on the Lower Vel
lowstone Reclamation project in Rich
land county. Construction of the pro-
ject, which was begun in 1904, is virtu.
ally completed, the area to which water
can be supplied being about 10000 acres.
In the early years grain and alfalfa were
the principal crops grown. About eight
years ago a start was made in sugar
beets, and except during the war period
there has been an annual increase in
the acreage devoted to this crop. The
large increase has come, however, in the
past three years. In 1923 about 5000
acres were devoted to sugar beets. This
year $500 acres were signed up for
sugar beets and about $500 acres are
now in that crop.
In addition to the sugar beets the area
devoted to seed peas, this season is SOC
acres, grown under contract. On that
part of the project north of Fairview the
increase in beet acreage has been over
last year 1900 acres. A considerable
acreage has also been planted to beans
this year.
In 1921 there was organized on the
project a mutual dairy loan association,
SE 6aoI oourc md Gxya ~anie4o1oI L,111c
being brought in as a starter. Each year
since the receipts of cream at Sidney,
where there is a creamery, have doubled.
Within a month there will be a cheese
factory at Fairview and also acreamery,
work on each now being prosecuted. The
production of hogs, poultry and poultry
products has kept the pace with the di-
versification of farm crops.
Sheep and cattle feeding on the farms
has also witnessed a steady growth, due
in large part to the annual increase in
the production of corn. This year Rich
land has in 10000 acres of corn. A big
crop of this grain was grown last year,
and so brisk was the demand for it for
feeding that the production was not
equal to the local demand, several cars
being shipped in.
The feeding and fattenin9 operating
that have been conducted by the farmers
for two or three years have proved the
business is profitable. With corn, alfalfa,
beet tops, they have right on the farm
feeding %stuffs, and they have made, the
profit which in the past has gone to the
eastern feeder on his purchase of Rich
land county lambs and half fat cattle.
