'PLAN 15 DUTLINED FOB
STATE’S FOOD CAMPAIGN
Council Would Organize Every
County in Georgia for
Crop Production
Plans for organizing the farmers of
■ every county in Georgia in a great state
wide campaign for increased production
of food crops to meet the crisis caused
by the entrance of the United States in
to war were outlined Wednesday at a
meeting in Atlanta of the state food
ouncil recently appointed by the govern
or in pursuance of the call sent out
from the national food conference held
under the auspices of the national gov
ernment in St. Louis last week.
The main details of the plan outlined
are as follows:
First, a, state-wide meeting in the
Macon auditorium next Tuesday morn
ing. April 34. at 9 o’clock.
Second, the appointment immediately
by Governor Harris of six delegates
from each county in the state to attend
this meeting, the delegates to include |
farmers bankers, merchants and other
influential citizens.
Third, the formation by each dele
gation. when it returns home from the
Macon meeting, of a local organization
among the farmers in its county for the
j purpose of increasing food crop produc
tion.
Fourth, the organisation in each coun
ty. after food crops have been planted,
of suitable marketing bureaus to in
sure the farmers a speedy sale of their
food products.
The meeting Wednesday was the first
meeting held by the council since it
was appointed by the governor. The
meeting was held in the office of J. J.
Fkown. commissioner of agriculture, and
chairman of the council, and proceeded
to business at once. After being in
session from 10 to 12:15 o’clock it ad
journed until 2 o’clock Wednesday aft
ernoon.
THOSE PRESEXT.
Besides Commissioner Brown other
members of the council present at the
meeting were as follows:
H. G Hastings, Atlanta, president
of the Georgia chamber of commerce.
J. Dt Weaver, Dawson
* T. M. Swift. Elberton.
R_ s. Roddenebrry. Moultrie.
R. C. Berckmana. Augusta.
J. H. Mills. Jenkinsburg, president of
the Georgia Farmers’ union.
Dr. A. M. Soule. Athens, president of
the Georgia State College of Agricul
ture.
A P. Brantley, Blackshear.
T. E. Grafton, Atlanta, secretary of
the Georgia chamber of commerce.
In addition to these. Charles S. Bar
rett, Union City, president of the Na
tional Farmers’ union, and Major D. F.
McClatchey. of the Southern Bell Tele
phone company, were present by invita
tion.
I, B. Jackepn, in charge of the mar
ket bureau of the department of agri
culture, was elected secretary of the
council.
Major McClatchey, who Is in charge
of the market bureau now being organ
ized by the Southern Bell Telephone
company, stated that the company would
immediately notify the six delegates in
each county free of charge by long dis
tance telephone, as soon as they were
appointed by the governor. It was ex
pected that the governor would appoint
the delegates Wednesday afternoon.
Special stress was laid on two facts;
First, that the food crisis in this coun
try. especially in the south, is the grav
est in history; second, that the time is
short and the farmers must respond at
once by planting food crops before plant
ing time is gone.
SMALL FOOD SUPPLY.
It was declared by members of the
council that very few counties in Geor
gia at the present time produce suffi
cient food to feed their local popula
tion. much less feed themselves and
help to feed the outside world.
It was the consensus of opinion, en
phatically expressed, that this condition
of affairs, considering Georgia’s bound
-1 less resources of soil and climate, is
. a reflection upon the state even In nor
mal peace times, when food suppplies
I are plentiful, and that In the present
crisis It is the solemn duty of the
farmers to put an end to such a dan
gerous economic situation.
Ehr. Soule reported that steps already
have been taken to organize the farmers
in Clarke county. Every preacher, white
and colored, preached the gospel of in
creased food crops in his pulpit last
Sunday, and will continue to keep the
I gospel of increased food crops before
I the people.
| It is contemplated that the six dele
gates from each county, when they go
home from the Macon meeting, will han
dle their local situation according to
local needs, aiding the farmers in the
production of the particular food crops
which can be grown advantageously In
that county.

UNCLE PAUL REVERE
“And the spark struck out by that steed in his flight
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.”

The Ride of Paul Revere
By Henry W. Longfellow
Wednesday was the one hundred and forty-second anniversary of the ride of Paul Revere and here
is Longfellow’s poem describing that famous event of our early history:
Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Os the midnight ride of Paul Revere
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy
flve;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and
year.
He said to his friend, “If the British
march
By land or sea from the town tonight.
Hi. g a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Os the North Church tower as a signal
light—
One. if by land, and two, if by sea:
And I on the opposite shore will be.
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and
farm,
For the country folk to be up and to
arm.’’
Then he said, "Good night" and with
muffled oar
Silently rowed to the Charlestown
shore.
Just as the moon rose over the bay.
Where, swinging wide at her moorings,
lay
The Somerset. British man-of-war;
A phantom ship, with each mast and
rpar
Across the moon like a prison bar.
And ae huge black bulk, that was mag
nified
By its own reflection In the tide
Meanwhile, his friend, through alley
and street.
Wanders and watches with eager ears,
Till in the silence around him he hears
The muster of men at the barrack door.
The sound of arms, and the tramp of
feet.
And the measured tread of the grena
diers.
Marching down to their boats on the
shore.
Then he climbed the tower of the Old
North Church.
i By the wooden stairs, with stealthy
tread,
To the belfry chamber overhead.
And startled the pigeons from their
perch
On the sombre rafters, that round him
made
Masses and moving shapes of shade.—
By the trembling ladder, steep and tall,
j To the highest window in the wall.
Where he paused to listen and look
down
| A moment on the roofs of the town.
And the moonlight flowing over all.
Beneath. In the churchyard, lay the
dead.
Tn their night-encampment on the hill.
Wrapped in silence so deep and still
That he could hear, like a sentinel’s
tread.
: The watchful night-wind, as it went
I Creeping along from tent to tent,
| And seeming to whisper. “All is well!”
! A moment only he feels the spell
’ Os the place and the hour, and the se
cret dread
Os the lonely belfry and the dead:
, F6r suddenly all his thoughts are bent
. On a shadowy something far away.
Where the river widens to meet the
bay.—
A line of black that bends and floats
On the rising tide, like a bridge of
boats
Meanwhile, impatient to mount and
ride.
Booted and spurred, with a heavy
stride
On the opposite shore walked Paul Re
vere.
Now he patted his horse’s side.
Now gazed at the landscape far and
near.
Then, impetuous, stamped the earth.
And turned and tightened his saddle
girth:
But mostly he watched with eager
search
The belfry-tower of the Old North
Church.
As it rose above the graves on the hill,
Ixmely and spectral and sombre and
still.
And lo! as he looks, on the belfry’s
height
A glimmer, and then a gleam of light!
He springs to the saddle, the bridle he
turns,
But lingers and gazes, till full on his
sight
A second lamp in the belfry burns!
A hurry of hoofs in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the
dark.
And beneath,'from the pebbles, in pass
ing. a spark
Struck out by a steed flying fearless
and fleet;
That was all! And yet, through the
gloijm and the light.
The fate of a nation was riding that
night;
And the spark struck out by that steed
in his flight.
Kindled the land into flame with its
heat.
He has left the village and mounted the
steep.
And beneath him, tranquil and broad
and deep,
Is the Mystic, meeting the ocean tides:
And under the alders that skirt its
edge.
Now soft on the sand, now loud on the
ledge.
Is heard the tramp of his steed as he
rides.
Tt was twelve by the village clock.
When he crossed the bridge into Med
ford town.
He heard the crowing of the cock.
And the barking of the farmer’s dog.
And felt the damp of the river fog.
That rises after the sun goes down.
Tt was one by the village clock.
When he galloped into Lexington.
He saw the gilded weathercock
Swim in the moonlight as he passed.
And the meeting-house windows, blank
and bare.
Gaze at him with a spectral glare.
As if they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look
upon.
It was two by the village clock.
When he came to the bridge in Concord
town.
He heard the bleating of the flock.
And the twitter of birds among the
trees.
And felt the breath of the morning
breeze
Blowing over the meadows brown.
And one was safe and asleep in his bed
Who at the bridge would be flrst to fall, '
Who that day would be lying dead.
Pierced by a British musket-ball.
You know the rest. In the books you
have read.
How the British Regulars fired and
fled.—
How the farmers gave them ball for
ball.
From behind each fence and farm-yard
wall,
A HEALTH TALK
By DR. W. A ANDERBON
Most of the sicknesses that the hu
man body is heir to are caused by con
stipation. Think of the amount of dis
gusting poison which is forced back
through the whole system when the
bowels become clogged. Don’t blame
your headaches to Biliousness, your Ner
vousness to overwork, your ftheumu
tlsm to uric acid and your Colds and that
tired, languid feeling to a thousand and
one different causes. Blame it on Con
stipation, for this awful malady causes
all of these symptoms and leads to the
worst diseases known to mankind.
Perhaps you feel that you have over
come Constipation by taking physic, but i
you have only gone from bad to worse, i
How much better it would be if you
would take a treatment which would
completely cure you.
Simply send $1.50 to Dr. W. A. An
derson. 712 Flatiron Bldg., Atlanta,
Ga., and receive full treatment by re
turn mail.—(advt.)
Chasing the red-coats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road.
And only pausing to Are and load.
So through the night rode Paul Revere.
And so through the night went his cry
of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm, —
A cry of defiance and not of fear.
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the
door,
And a word that shall echo forever
more!
For. borne on the night-wind of the
Past,
Through all our history, to the last.
Tn the hour of darkness and peril and
need.
The people will waken and listen to
hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed.
And the midnight message of Paul
Revere.
Feed Cotton Seed
Meal With Corn
The following Is a copy of an adver
tisement printed in several South Caro
lina papers, by the South Carolina cot
ton seed crushers' association:
CORN SELLING AT $1.72 A BUSHEL
WHOLESALE, WORTH SAVING,
ISN’T IT?
The feed your work-stock a ration of
cotton seed meal with corn. Dr. Tait
Butler says that if you are feeding your
mule 14 pounds of corn per day. you can
take out four pounds and put In two
pounds of cotton seed meal and get bet
ter results.
Four pounds of corn is worth 12 cents
today. Two pounds of cotton seed meal
is worth 4 cents—a saving of 8 cents per
day on each animal fed. In 365 days you
would save $29.20, if you put into prac
tice the advice of Dr. Butler, who is con
ceded to be the highest authority on
feeds and feeding. It Is as necessary to
save as It is the produce, and “saving ’
and ‘‘producing’’ are the watchwords of
today.
In the Progressive Farmer. March
24th, 1917, Dr. Butler recommends the
following ration for work-stock when
cotton seed meal is used:
“(1) 1 part cotton seed meal by
weight to 5 parts of corn.
“(2) 1 part cotton seed meal to 4
parts corn, 4 parts oats.
“(3) 1 part cotton seed meal to 10
parts oats.
"To be fed with usual quantities of
grass-hay, corn-fodder, etc.’’
These are war times. Corn is human
food. Better save it.
A pint to a quart of cotton seed meal
fed daily will produce good results.
Food preparedness program (distrib
uted by the EYrm Development bureau of
the Memphis business men's club.)
There are in the eleven cotton states
6.500,000 horses and mules.
If each of the were fed two pounds of
cottonseed meal per day it would release
4 pounds of corn each day from the usua!
dally feed of about 14 pounds, and 200
days of such feeding to all horses and
mules would release 100,000.000 bushels
of corn for human food, —and the mules
would be benefltted by the change.
4 lbs. of corn at $1.55 per bushel costs
11 cents.
2 lbs. of cottonseed meal at S4O pet
ton costs 4 cents. ,
The feeder would thus save 7 cents
per day on each head of stock, or a sav
ing of $14.00 per mule in a period of
200 days.
We suggest such feeding now and
planting of soy and velvet beans oi
peas in all corn as economic and pa
triotic duty.

EIMIESS COMPANT FINED
51,000 IN LIQUOR CASE:
Corporation, Charged With Il
legal Delivery of Whisky,
Will Make Appeal
Judge Ben H. Hill Wednesday morn
ing imposed a fine of SI,OOO upon the
Southern Express company, following
the conviction of the company on a
charge of violating the two-quart ship
ping law. The attorneys for the com
pany at once filed notice of a motion
lor a new trial and asked for a super
cedeas.
The Southern Express comparv, as a
corporation, was found guilty of a mis
demeanor by a jury in Judge Ben H.
Hill’s court room Tuesday evening,
after a two days’ trial in which they
were charged by Solicitor John A. Boy
kin with having violated the provisions
of the former state prohibition law. The
offense makes the express company lia
ble to a fine of from $1 to SI,OOO. Since
the defendant is a corporation, there
can be no jail sentence attached to the
verdict.
The jury retired with the case in
their hands after a two days’ trial.
They were out about two hours on the
case, returning with a vcidict or’ guilty
at 6:30 o’clock Tuesday evening.
The conviction of the express com
pany completes a long chain of indict
ments which Solicitor John A. Boykin
instituted almost immediately after
taking office on January 1, w’hen he
launched a sweeping investigation of
alleged phases or violations of the pro
hibition law. The express company
was found guilty Tuesday of the par
ticular charge of bringing liquor into
the state and thence to Fulton county,
knowingly consigned to fictitious names
for illegal delivery. There are eleven
more indictments resting agaJnst the
company, charging other alleged vio
lations of the old prohibition law. So
licitor Boykin made It known Wednes
day that he would transfer these cases
to the criminal court of Atlanta. Judge
Andy Calhoun presiding, and have So
licitor Ixiwry Arnold prosecute them.
Solocttor Boykin presented Henry
’Boyd, alias ‘Monk” as the chief witness
for the state. According to Boyd’s own
confession, he is the greatest "blind
tiger’’ In the state today. A short,
chunky negro with sweeping coatstails
and peg-top trousers. Boyd took the

The Right Medicine in Many Cases
Does Better than the Surgeon’s

Doctor Said Operation or Death —But Medicine Cured.
■ Des Moines, lowa.—“My husband says I would
have been in my grave today had it not been for
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I suf
sered from a serious female trouble and the doctors
said I could not live one year without an operation.
My husband objected to the operation and had me
try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I
soon commenced to get better and am now well
and able to do my own housework. I can recom
mend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to
any woman as a wonderful health restorer.”—Mrs.

Another Operation Avoided.
Richmond, Ind. —“For two years I was so sick and weak from
female troubles that when going up stairs I had to go very slowly
with my hands on the steps, then sit down at the top to rest. The
doctor said he thought I should have an operation, and my friends
thought I would not live to move into our new house. My daughter
asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as she had
taken it with good results. I did so, my weakness disappeared, I
gained in strength, moved into our new home, do all kinds of garden
work, and raised hundreds of chickens and duc ks. I cannot say
enough in praise of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.”—Mrs.
M. O. Johnston, Route D, Box 190, Richmond, Ind.
Os course there are many serious cases that only a
surgical operation will relieve. We freely acknowledge
this, but the above letters, and many others like them,
amply prove that many operations are recommended when
medicine in many cases is all that is needed.

Lieutenant Who Sought
Commission in Mexico
Gets 20 Years in Prison
WASHINGTON. April IS.—Second
Lieutenant Robert H. Hall, First in
fantry, Indiana national guard, has oeen
sentenced to twenty years’ imprison

negotiated for a commission from the
Mexican government.
'The charges against Hall included
loss or disposition of confidential maps
of the government in Mexico, desertion,
swindling, bigamy, forgery, embezzle
ment, disobedience of standing orders.
He was found guilty of the charges

of his liquor transactions. He made the
statement that he had sold 100.000 pack
ages of whisky since last May. The
negro said that he had an agreement
with the express company about his
whisky, and with naive indifference to
his own guilt told of the suggestions he
would make from time to time to the
transportation company and liquor
houses in order to facilitate the delivery
of his whisky, which he said averaged
75 packages per day.
Detectives, porters and express win

placed on the stand by Solicitor Boykin
to corroborate Boyd’s statement.
The express company, through At

a vigorous defense, denying all charges
Judge Hill charged the jury that the
question was whether or not the express
company had kept good faith with the
