Christmas! Fort Valley stores overflowing with it. You will miss treat if you fail to come, bring the children and see a show worth a ride of many miles. The hearts of all Georgia news paper editors and countless other friends go out in sympathy to Editor C. B. Chapman, of the Sandersville Progress, and family in the death of Mrs. Chapman Wednesday. Righto, Dave Strother! The third best known city in the South, Fort Valley, like George Washington, is .. firfct in the hearts of her men. Let the song make the welkin ring. ---. President Coolidge, according to this morning’s papers, thinks govern ment costs never will be less than now. We know folks who would let it go with a guarantee that cpsts never will be higher. ■-- The Kiwanis Club could do with a whole lot more of such man’s size optimism as was demonstrated in the talks from A. J. Evans, D. C. Strother and others last Friday. And the wanis Cluh is only a part of this good citizenship of which Fort has a right to be proud. Let’s have more blowing of horns and ringing of hells on every street corner. It is worth far more and will give much more pleasure than little personal jealousies and criticisms. F. W.

We arc losing a valuable but we have no tears to shed, Mr. Murray’s five years of here certainly merit for him the generous good wishes of which an appreciative community can be capa ble. We must rejoice so much him as he enters a larger field our own regrets must lose their sting, As president of the Kiwanis Club which he organized, in his loyalty to the Peach Blossom Festival and every other great civic enterprise by AN APPEAL C.

In Christ salvation full is found, Security and peace; The captive in sin's prison nound Through Jesus finds release. The gift of God no more despise; Spurn not the saving grace Of Christ the holy Sacrifice, The Savior of the race. _W. C. CARTER. Fort Valley and Beach county have moved forward within the last six years, Mr. Murray has demonstrated li true worth that earns for him an enduring shrine of affection in the hearts of our people. Our greatest pleasure from time to time is to find occasion for utter ing sentiment of this kind concerning citizens of Murray’s type. For him we W ish all of the rich measure of suc cess and happiness that one big, strap¬ ping, smiling human being can stand, and we are sure nil of Fort Valley will join us in this manner of fare¬ well as he goes to the Fourth Na¬ tional Bank of Atlanta on January 1. FORT VALLEY BEAUTIFUL ARBOR DAY Arbor day as a special day for*the setting of trees and shrubs is an old custom that dates back to 1865, Ne¬ braska having the honor of being the first state to adopt as an annual event. The custom became so popular and spread so rapidly that by 1890 thirty five states had passed legisla tive enactments for its observance, the date in each state varying as to climatic conditions. January 8th is the date set for the j celebration in Fort Valley and plans are being made for its wide-spead ob- 1 servance, and it is sincerely hoped that every citizen will take some part, Look about your premises and see if there is not some space where there may be planted another tree or shrub. Decide on some of the numerous va r j e ties that you admire and either ; order it from your nursery-man or j Ke t it out of the nearby woods and set 1 jj on Arbor day. You may choose f rom the different varieties of oak, p 0 p] ar maple or nut. The pecan is , especially recommended. It has no lateral root growth that interferes wi t|, other plants near, makes a beau tiful shade, is comparatively rapid j, r0 wer besides producing food. The Ginkgo or Maiden hair tree is an other especially recommended and has | little lateral root growth. It is a rapid grower and is free from insect di , souses. A single specimen on the KroU nds of the J. H. Baird home has been greatly admired. | Or, if you have not space for a large tree, why not plant a dogwood, crepe myrtle, crab-apple or red-bud? Any one of these may be set in groups or as single specimen on your lawn. Many towns are setting them on the sidewalk between the larger shade trees and they are beautiful there. Plan now to plant a tree on Arbor day. Trees are one of the first and one of the greatest gifts of God to man. For food, shelter, rain and shade they serve beasts of the field and forest, fowls of the air, and mankind everywhere in a most beautiful way. In no way can you serve your tion and those to come better than planting a tree. In no way can help your town to be more beautiful. “Who docs his duty is a question Too complex to be solved by me: But he, 1 venture the suggestion of his who plants tree. • Does part a A tree whose hungry mouth is ed Against the earth’s sweet breast. A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her arms to pray: A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair. j Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. ’' CIVIC COMMITTEE, GOV.

If oil emulsions are purchased having a lower oil content more of the stock emulsion will have to be used per tank than is usually specified, in order to obtain the strength recommended by the Peach Pest Laboratory for efficient scale control. The Laboratory’s recommendations are based on a supposition that the emulsions used contain 66 2-3% oil Therefore if a 2% emulsion is desired six gallons of the stock emulsion would be required, or if a 3% emul¬ sion is desired nine gallons of the stock would be required for a 200 gallon tank load of the diluted spray. If the emulsion purchased contained only 60% of oil, as some commercial emulsions do, nine gallons of the stock would not make a 3% emulsion but only about a 2.5% emulsion. As the oil content of the emulsion is re¬ quired, the water content is increased. The San Jose scale cannot be controll¬ ed by water, therefore, if the recom mendations of this Laboratory are followed, the grower in purchasing In thb debate repeated in the grade last Friday, Resolved: “That modern times are better making manhood than old times," negative side, well represented Mae Underwood, Mae Ross, Frances Brantley, won the however the affirmative was championed by Walstein Jack Taylor, and Clifford Dyes. * * * Friday morning the chapel was given over to Mrs. Heilman, Red Cross nurse that has seen sea service, who presented ; the claims of the Junior Red | exhibiting during her talk many cles beautifully designed and made children belonging to the same in foreign countries.
