State Market Bureau Atlunta, Ga., August— (Spec ial)--The Georgia State Bureau | of Markets is now well organ ized and ready to extnd any as sistance the farmers of Geor gia may need in the marketing of their surplus food products. Blanks have been printed up on which any person may spec ify what he has to sell or what he wishes to buy. These blanks will be furnished to anyone de siring them, upon application. This information is then kept right before the department, and at the first opportunity the seller and buyer are brought in to touch with each other. Director L. 15. Jackson of the market bureau, in accordance with the recent act of the Leg islature, has already made his bond of $5,000 and filed it with the Governor. He is now pre pared to handle every case that needs marketing attention. All yho desire any information with regard to the marketing of food products, or wish blanks upon which to list what they have to sell or what they wish to buy, should correspond di rectly with the Department, and each request will be given prompt attention. With the sanction of the State Legislature, the Georgia State Bureau ol Markets has alieady gone to work upon the prob lem of organizing local market depots in every county in the state. It is giving first attention to those who have requested assistance. Any county which wishes to organize n local depot for the purpose of assembling food products in carload lots for shipment and sale, or which wishes to join neighboring counties in this work, should call on the Department for as sistance. Many of these local market depots have already been organized; others are sim ply awaiting their turn. Each case will be taken up in turn and organization perfected as early as possible. The market bureau is anxious to have every farmer in Georgia feel that it is his, and to call on it for what he wknts The department of Agricul ture believes the most import ant thing it is doing right now— at least one of them —is urging the statewide planting of winter wheat. No plow should be idle this winter. Plant at least two acres of wheat to every plow you have, from October Ist to De cember 15th, according to your climate, and where wheat grows finest, plant more. The good wheat growing counties should put out at least five to six acres to the plow ; no county should have less than an avei age of two acres to the plow. Figuring the lowest estimat ed yield, this must mean ten bushels to the acre, or 10,000- 000 bushels in Georgia this year enough to feed the entire state. But that is what we want be cause it is what we have got to have. Wheat for seed is one of the big and important agricultural problems this fall. Many sec tions have all they need ; others are at a loss as to where to get Bankers, merchants and lo cal county food councils should get together NOW and solve the seed problem. The state market bureau stands ready to help. Those who need seed and cannot get it, should apply to the market bureau. Those who have seed to sell should list it with the market bureau. But by all means, Georgia must raise this tall and winter j enough wheat, rye barley and cover crops to take care ot her-j self. We can no longer depend on outside agencies. | The market bureau is now business ready to render vice to the producers and con-, sumers. The citizens of the State, any and all of them, are welcome to call on it. It will do its very best to respond to their needs.

I wish to say first of all that we can have a paper that is worth reading if we will try. So let’s try at all times to improve. Now we are all guilty of doing wrong in some way or at some time, so we ought to think of this and not be so ready to find fault in the other fellow. I have learned that if I will do right the other fellow is apt to be right, but listen when I am wrong it seems like my neigh bor is wrong also and maybe he is willing to do any thing he :an for me and no doubt that very fellow is praying for me. Now let us see what we are do ing. We are going to church and hearing the gospel preach ed almost every Sunday. We have our bibles to read and yet it seems like we are hard to get harnessed up.' Now is it true .he churches have baptized the 'ewest people this year that we have heard of in years and yet "here is just as many folks in sin as we have ever seen. Now it wont be long untill all the old folks will be gone and someone will have to take their places in the church work. I want to say ten years ago we could an nouce a prayer meeting at a school house or any where else and the house would be full of people and we would have a good meeting. How is it now we can’t get enough people to come to have a prayer meeting. What is the trouble? Is our minds all togethr on the things of this world and we have no time to think of the Lord? Now church members just think for a moment in the right way, ev ery one of us is making some kind of a record that is going to be read out some day. Will we be glad to hear it, or will we be ashamed of it? Now it i~ nt ver too ia ;e r.o do good and if our past record is bad wouldn’t 't be better for th last of our re cord to be good than it would for it to be all bad, so let us all at the end of each day think back over the things we have done and if we ar not satisfied with what w have done then ask the Lord to forgive us and we will be heard because he says he will forgive usif we ask in the right way.

I told my husband if he would got me a bottle of Cardui I would try it... I commenced taking it, however, that evening I called my family about me... for I knew I could not last many days unless I had a change for The Human Factors In Good Service There are three parties to every tele phone conversation —the party calling, the trained operator, and the party who answers. All three share alike the respon sibility for quick and accurate telephone service. The calling party should give the cor rect number in a distinct voice, speak ing directly into the transmitter, and wait at the telephone until the party an swers or the operator reports. The called party should answer promptly. Patience on the part of the telephone user and the telephone operator is also es sential to good service.
