Big Increase In Pork For Fulton
Atlanla.—Instead of being satisfied
with the 5 per cent increase, in pork
production, which has been asked by
the government for Georgia this year,
Fulton county will go far beyond that
arid have at least a 75 per cent in
crease, it was stated by county offi
cials. The large enrollment in the
pig'club of the county is responsible
. to a great extent for this enormous
’advance in the production of pork.
More than one hundred and seventy-
fije members have joined the pig club,
"rhe boys are also enthusiastic over
the corn and calf clubs, although the
membership of these clubs is consider
ably smaller than the pig club. How
ever, there are SO members in the corn
club this year, when there were only
ten members last. >
Steps Are Taken To Help Farmers
Atlanta.- -Three letters served to
calm the apprehension of farmers of
the state and show an immediate
route to relief on the farms through
the military channels. One was a let
ter from Maj. Joel B. Mallet, Georgia
selection officer, which instructs local
boards as to the deferring of the call
of men needed on the farms. The oth
er two-, one from Senator Hoke Smith
to J. J. Brown, Georgia commission
er of agriculture, and another writ
ten some time ago by Secretary of
War Baker to S. Hubert Dent, chair
man of the house military affairs com
mittee at Washington, explained in
some measure the purpose of the Dent
furlough bill and a means whereby im
mediate steps may be taken to se
cure furloughs.
St. Joseph’s Church Damaged By Fire
Macon.—Destruction of St. Joseph’s
Catholic church, a half million dollar
structure on upper Poplar street, was
narrowly averted when a fire was dis
covered in the sacristy. When the
firemen arrived the flames were shoot
ing toward a large oil curtain which
separated the sacristy from the main
auditorium, in five minutes more the
flames would have reached 45,000 feet
of pine scaffolding which is now in the
church where frescoers and painters
are at work. The flames were soon
extinguished bist not before consid
erable damage had been done.

Twenty Thousand Of Division March
Camp Wheeler.—Twenty thousand
soldiers of the Dixie division in heavy
marching order will hike out of Camp
Wheeler on the morning of April 8,
on the first leg of the first division
maneuvers here. The line will reach
more than fifteen miles, and will re
quire six hours to pass a given point.
The division will he complete. It will
be headed by Maj. Gen. F. H. French
and his staff. Then will go the Sixty-
first infantry, of which the One Hun

50,000 Atlantans Applaud Soldiers
Atlanta.—Fifty thousand Atlanta
people were thrilled with patriotism,
when nearly four thousand TTnited
States soldiers, of the 325th infantry
regiment, carrying their guns with
bayonets fixed and equipped for the
trenches, marched through the streets
of the city. For many miles along the
line of march, which extended from
Piedmont Park, via the center of town,
to Emory university, the sidewalks on
each side of the streets traversed were
crowded with enthusiastic and loyal
citizens who gave the marching regi
ment ovation after ovation.
Cut Is Made In Flour Allowance
Atlanta.—A big cut in the allowance
of flour and wheat products may be
looked for, according to information
given out. by the federal food admin
istration for Georgia, and for the next
four or five months the people of this
state will virtually be rationed so far
as wheat and flour are concerned. The
supplies allowed to the retail grocer
will be sharply curtailed and this will
of course cut down the_amount he
can supply to his customers. Every
individual will be limited to a certain
amount of flour, which, it is' announc
ed, will be six pounds per month,

Stations In Georgia For Forage Study
Macon.—It is pratcieally assured
that the government will establish at
once three stations ill south Georgia
for forage experimenting to determine
the cheapest and best winter pastures
to supplement the native grasses.
There are three prevailing types of
soil in south Georgia, and the stations
will he designed to test the adapta
bility of each type of soil. The loca

FOOD FACTS
PREPARED BY
The Federal Food Admin
istration For Georgia
’The normal consumption of sugar
In the United States is about 90
pounds per capita. We are now asked
to use only an ounce and a half
per day, or three pounds per month.
The normal consumption of meat is:
Beef, 82.5 pounds; mutton, 7 pounds;
pork, 103.5 pounds; other meats, .«
pound; or a total of 193.6 pounds per
capita per annum. We are asked to
cut down the consumption of meat by
a minimum of one ounce per day. We
could probably cut down our consump
tion by a quarter of a pound per day
and still not miss it, thereby saving an
abundance for our allies abroad.
Of fats we eat 3.42 ounces a day.
We are asked to cut this down to
about 11 ounces per week.
Of wheat and wheat flour products
we normally eat about 18 pounds a
month per capita. We are asked to
reduce the consumption now to 6
pounds per capita per month.
Of corn we normally eat about 3.5
pounds a week. We are not asked to
restrict ourselves in the use of this
cereal in any particular. In fact, we
are asked to eat larger quantities of
corn in order that we may materially
reduce the consumption of wheat flour
to a positive minimum..
Save 21,000,000 Bushels
There is no shortage of potatoes.
Corn and oats; the milk supply is not
pinched, spring gardening will supply
much for our tables. Eut we must ;
as a nation, save 21,000,000 bushels of
wheat to feed the armies. Not wheth
er we want to or not—we MUST.
Every American is urged to cut his
average ration of wheat by 50 per
cent, which would reduce the total
normal consumption of 42,000,000
bushels a month to 21,000,000 bushels.
That gives a ration of not more than
1% pounds wheat product weekly
for each person. Flour sales will be
cut to one-eighth of a barrel for a
town customer and to one-quarter of
a barrel to a country customer, that
retailers’ stocks may be distributed
to as great a number as possible.
The wheat contents of bakers’ bread
will be reduced to 75 per cent on
April 14, which increases by 5 per
cent the amount of substitutes th%t
must be saved.
BITTER FIGHTING

MOREUIL AND ALBERT
FRENCH GAIN ON THE OISE
Germans Are Evidently Expecting A
Counter Offensive Along The
'’Oise River
New York.—While the advance of
the German armies in Picardy has
come almost to a halt, there has been
severe fighting on the extreme west
ern edge of the battle zone.
Encounters in which large forces
have been engaged have occuiTed
north of Morueil, but there seems
to be no decided advantage gained
by the Teutonic invaders. They claim
to have taken heights and to have car
ried a wood in advance of their line
near .Morueil, but the British say they
have driven back the enemy from po
sitions they have occupied elsewhere
in this sector.
The French lines farther south have
stood firm against savege assaults,
[ especially in the region of Montdidier
| and eastward of that place along a
part of the line which was subjected
to a terrific strain for two days late
.last week.
■ In a number of sectors the French
! have surged forward and taken hard
| earned ground from the Germans and
| have established their line solidly
along the Oise river. The expected
allies counter offensive has not yet
come, but the Germans, who are re
ported to be entrenching along the
French front, evidently expect it
there.
Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications: as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal dcainoES.'
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Dcafnees is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many caso of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.

HEROIC PART IN THE
FIGHT AGAINST TEUTONS
Gallant Band Of 1,500 Hold Line 1,200
Yards Long In Face Of Fiercest
German Onslaughts
With the British Army in France.—
It is now possible to tell of a spectac
ular feature of a briliant British de
fense below the Somme. It is the
story of a little army composed very
largely of assortments of troops who
were hastily assembled in a great cri
sis and who successfully held a vital
stretch of the front against furious
German onslaughts until reinforce
ments could arrive. In this gallant
force were included American railway
engineers who, as in the battle of
Cambrai, last November, threw aside
their tools and took up arms in de
fense of the allied colors.
It was at a critical moment when
it was absolutely necessary that more
troops should be thrown into the Brit
ish line to hold the onrush of the tier-
mans. Reinforcements were on the
way, but could not arrive in time.
There was no time to lose and a cer
tain general immediately organized a
force collected from the various units
nearby in which were the Americans.
Fifteen hundred followed the lead
of their dashing brigadier out into the
swirling battle line where they were
strung over a front of 1,200 yards
against which hordes of Germans
were flung.
It seems almost inconceivable that
these defenders, brave unto death
though they were, could have been
able to hold that long sector, but they
held. The enemy advanced in force
and hurled themselves time and time
again against the British line in this
region, but they found no weak spot.
This composite force stood as gallantly
to the right and to the left. They
clung on for many hours until the
regulars came up. This is a sample
of the fighting spirit which allied sol
diers are showing in this time of
stress.
This incident is more spectacular,
but hardly finer in spirit than that of
seven British soldiers. These lads had
been home in England on leave, and
on landing at a channel port in
France could find no transportation
to the front. Did they sit down and
wait? They did not. They tramped
almost every foot of the way to the
battle lines to take their places be
side their hard-pressed comrades.
