NOTICE. U. D. C.
The Children’s Founders Roll was
inaugurated by the Stone Mountain
Confederate Monumental Association
in order that the children of the
South might have a share in the
carving of the greatest monument
that the world has ever known.
It provides for the enrollment of
each child under 18 years of age in
the great Book of Memory, which
will occupy the place of honor in
Memorial Hall at Stone Mountain;
and for the memorialization of Con
' federate soldiers whom each wishes
to honor.
Each child who makes a contribu
tion will receive a small bronze
medal, designed by Gutzon Borglum,
showing that he is one of the found
ers of the memorial, and later, when
his name has been inscribed in the
great volume c£ The Children’s Found
ers Roll, he will receive a certificate
showing the number of the page
and the line on which his name ap
pears.
The Book of Memory will be one
of the world’s greatest books, beau
tifully designed and beautifully
bound. It will be held between
bronze covers and will be placed in
the Memorial Hall so that the chil
dren themselves can go there later
and read their own names and those
of their ancestors whom they have
memorialized.
Hundreds of children from all parts
of the country have already enrolled
their names and cards bearing their
serial numbers have already been
issued to them pending the comple
tion of the medal and the great
book.
Each child's name will be enrolled
in the order in which it is received
at the office of the Association.
The children of todry no longer
meet to weave memorial wreaths as
of old, though blossoms are laid
each year upon the graves of the
Confederacy. They have lost some
thing of the heritage that other years
have given to the children of the
South, but now, because of the Stone
Mountain Memorial, the South is be
ing quickened again to love, to
pride, to tears by the memories of
those heroic days. The children again
are drawn into the circle of past
years by the Children’s Founders
Roll and in their hearts is springing
the little flame of pride that warm
ed the tears of the generations be
tween them and the war.
Let this Memorial Day see the
completion of the Children’s Founders
Roll as a great garland of love for
the Confedeate dead. May every
child in the South have his and her
share in the weaving of Memory’s
wreath, so that when the great book
at the mountain stands open for the
world to see, not a name shall be
missing from that Roll of Fame.
One dollar must be sent with all
applications. Mrs. C. M. Baggs has
been appointed to take charge of this
and see that every child in Blakely
gets his name in this Book of
Memory. She lias written for ap
plication blanks and hopes to make
a canvass of the town. So whether
you are a member of this U. D. C.
Chapter or not, your child should
honor their beloved ancestors. If you
are interested, communicate with
Mrs. C. M. Baggs.

A Solution of Calcium Arsenate Distribution in the Fight Against the 801 l Weevil
Many of our customers have asked us to procure, if possible, a practical Dusting Machine at a moderate price. The $125.00 ma
chines are too high, likewise the $75-00 and $85.00 machines. Here's a machine, lighter, less complicated, just as effective in the work
performed, as the heavier, much higher priced machines. Many who used and sold the Johnson Duster last season are increasing their
orders for this year. Already as many of them have been sold as were sold during the entire season of 1923. The present price of
this machine is $40.00, however by a fortunate contract before the advance, we are enabled to sell you one or more of these AS
LONG AS OUR PRESENT CONTRACT LASTS for $37.50, plus freight from Atlanta, which is about $2.00. Place your order
with us early in order that you may be sure of your machine in time. With the accurate adjustment of this machine, enabling you to
more closely govern the quantity per acre, you can profitably use this machine from the very beginning of the fight by poisoning.
Get your machine. Start poisoning early and win the tight. The great trouble about poisoning heretofore, it was begun too late.

Immunization
Toxin - Antitoxin immunization h&R
| passed the experimental stage and
j constitutes Just as reliable a method
j of protection against diphtheria as
' vaccination does against typhoid fe
ver. Approximately 90 per cent ol
all susoeptlble children can be lmmun

public health measure in the control

When plumbing becomes clogged,
the quickest and best way of clearing
it is to sift some Red Seal Lye into the
outlet. This frees the obstructing ma
terial almost instantly.

Much unnecessary labor may be
saved on wash-day by softening the
wash-water with Red Seal Lye. This
serves to loosen the dirt from the
clothes without the usual hours of
laborious rubbing.

Pots and pans (except those made
