The news that the House military affairs commit tee has completed the first draft of the land defense bill and that preparedness legislation will be speeded up is received with grat ification by the American people in all of our states. The policy of preparedness is approved not only in those states on our coasts that would be ex posed to attack in the event of war, but also in our inland states that from their geographical sit uation are perfectly safe. And the reason is that the peo ple are for self-defense and do not believe in a pacificist policy that would leave the nation undefend ed and from our helplessness would invite aggression. We must face the facts. The Scriptural prophecy • that there shall be wars and rumors of wars c « % I ^ C ® e is being fulfilled. We are very far from the condition of univer sal peace. The surest way to pre vent war being waged upon us by an unscrupulous nation is to make such a procedure dangerous by adequate preparedness.

The Industrial Index, of Colum bus, Ga., says in its issue for this week : "Soon after orders for war sup plies began to come to this coun i try in large volume, manufactur ! kig plants in the East and Middle ' West commenced to operate night and day. Later this continuous operation was extended to some factories in the South. "In the past few weeks there lias been notable growth in the number of factories in the South that have begun to operate night and day, and it is gratifying that the number of lines of manufac ■ hiring included is increasing. : "More phosphate mines in Flor ida are resuming operation. A cotton mill at Prattville, Ala., which has been closed a number the j j of months is to be placed in oper ation. A cooperage plant at Pen sacola, Fla., will double its capac itv and operate night and day. A hosiery mill at Huntsville, Ala will be operated continuously. The capacities of cotton mills at Ber ryton and Lyerly, Ga., will be doubled. a "There are good reasons for ! the belief that a second phase of business activity and prosperity —not dependent upon Avar orders —lias begun.

We have fine churches, fine shows, houses. But we are still in need of a number of things that are usually found in up to date littl cities. There is one tiling we need more than any other. We have provided schools for the children of our poorest citizens; we have churches representing most of the leading denominations, where the poorest are welcome. But when one of these pool* becomes very ill or suffers a severe injury, we have no place to take care of him. We need a well equipped hospi tal more than anything else. Not only to care for the poor when they are sick and unable to care for themselves, but for every citi zen in our town and county. The modern practice of medi cine has made such progress in recent years that it is impossible to employ many valuable methods of treatment outside a well ped hospital. Our physicians are handicapped in many ways, and have to omit many valuable aids to successful treatment, because we have not provided them with the necessary equipment which can only be had in a modern hos pital, thus we are all losers. But if we will only try, we can soon provide this much needed in stitution. A small appropriation from the county and one from the city, together with a number of liberal donations from our public spirited citizens, and we can build and equip a small hospital that will be a credit to our county, and in which w T e will all view with much pride. schools, splendid factories and mercantile in e a a equip W.
