We didn’t object to their i- creased pros perity, but.it completely disor ganized farm labor. This is the lowest paid type of labor, and naturally would first respond to higher wages paid in other lines. The scarcity of labor ex/ tended beyond the farms into all branches ; of labor whether skilled or unskilled. Anybody 7 hunting, work can find it now and at good wages.

A ' > * The English have an-expres- frion ‘ muddlingj through” which they use of themselves to show that they will succeed after a while, hut they are careless" of the needless mis takes tm*y make in doing so. We h ave 'inherited much of their temp'* rament, hut we are not as careless of mistakes as thev charge themselves with. We are rapidly putting our* stivfs on a War basis. : Pur several years we have at this season gone through a large’portion of the states of Ceorgia, Tennessee, .North, and South Carolina, and while the country lying on the railroad 4s hut a small part, yj r t it is an iudex of the whole. The gov ernment has long since issued a call for footj! production, in the citi< s it was an liitewsliirg feature to see the children’s war gardens on lots that • for.- merly were ha ren. These gardens were produced under the supervision of trained'agri culturists, and with the labor of children after school hours. One is also particularly im pressed 'with the very small acreage of'tillable idle -laud. Every available field is jdaHted. in.some eases,the crops aj*e ex ceedingly small as yet, but they are food crops. In two points tlie low country of our own state stands'out .in' con trast. The lands along the rail road show a higher acreage of idletillahle land. While all of the slatts mentioned are - cptton states yet others are producing more foddstuiis in proportiifn to the cotton acreage than’ we apparently, are. ; ^ Another incident of war time * conditions is the absence of jmen within the draft ages. It natteis not where one’may go iieie is an almost complete absence of men between *21 and 1. In the stores their places are taken either by women or older men. In hotels and its- 4iurunts one D struck by tlie number of mere hoys who are doing a waiters work. Formerly a large number of this, class paling around stations. Here also, it is true that more dFthis class ▼ ere to beH'ooudg a--t and south of Coluifihiathnn oil the whole Urtp. T)ui* -large negro pop.ula- uioiu-rwork both, xyays. There are so many of them lmti when ^ fLip"wku Ini ye gong- to were Jound railway it was cotton oi nothing with them, because they couldn’t make corn unless they had good rains which were unusual. We have never seen the year in which we made a complete 'failure of.foods tuffs on account of rfrought as often pnevails in the Southwest. - . A man can really live better at home than awayTfom it now. Food conservation is the mes* sage of the hour. The sugar dish has practically disappeared from hotel and restaurant tables, and in its place each guest receives a small envolope hold ing about a teaspooriflil of sugar. Fifty-fifty bread appeals neither j,q the eye nor taste of the consumer. The war is teaching thp" people to love com bread; I fit succeeds 'in this it will put the corngrow- iug sections of the south on a new level. I passed a troop train from the far west just as the men were being served for dinner, a part of wliich was a deliciously browned muffin. They seemed to enjoy it with great relish. One rs noticeably struck bv the fact ihat both in the. number of dishes 'served and the amount.there has been a serious falling off. There.was a lime when a selection of a few articles from the hill of faie would furnish an ample meal. Now it is somewhat in teresting to see on A one side of an article its price and on the other * its calories or value, The supremo business of the country is winning the war, everybody is cheeifully helping' this toward success. As soon ns the government decides ihat a certain step must be taken tin ■a everybody,-tug auri. little, voting and old gets behind it to roll it on. Everything costs more than it used to. It is no longer what one wants, hut what one can get. We think that \\y ar^Tllaying a harder time than others. That how- evir Is becalise we‘"do not stop io think about others or are so selfish that we don’t care for auy- lioily hut ourseiyes. Just a> the-train, jiulled'out pf Atlanta a natrv Vcrgiant hade his folks goodbye. He was in Camp (lor-. don, and they had eome down from northern Illinois' to see him, His mo111« r 11early 'br<>ke down in the parting but the. >ou-P»idd “Mother I wynihl g< t vou .something to steaVlv ' vour nerves, but this i> a dr^town." After the train had gone his mother said, “T wouldn’t'take anything for his being in tfte army”. There are others beside ourselves. * ' ' ■ ' "Special onp^is was laid on FOOD CONSERVATION^ Of course we Iiad heard that wi Ju ly spoken of, but There Mrs. Dora Walker had so wisely planned, as she always plans'her T" son for letting us stay at Win* throp and • making U3 feel so welcome to every thing there.
