Williams, wife ot a well-known on Routs 4, this pises. “I fcspt getting headaches and having to •a to bod." continues Mrs. Williams dsocrlblng the troubles from which aho obtained relief through the use of CkrdnL "My husband, having heard si Cardul. proposed getting It for ms.

Style-makers failing to agree On where the waist-line now should be; But we could quickly stop this fuss— We’ll show ’em if they come to us. While civil service is the rule Rads now hit It blows most cruel. Mighty uncivil is the way They’re chopping heads off every day. Somehow we had it in our head— And so it ought to be, by Ned!— That high-ups should come right to taw And keep instead of break the law. Next Sunday's Easter, snd new hats Will grace the heads of leans and fata. We hope 'twill be such pretty weath er That all will feel in right high feath er. Insect pests are all-fired smart; And if you let 'em have a start. They multiply so awful fast They're like to eat you up at last. So early fight these things of evil— Flies, mosquitoes and boll weevil. Better now do early risin’ And lay in a stock of “pizen.’’ Some people in Cedartown have a mistaken idea about some city ordin ances. You can keep cows and chick ens, but they must not be allowed to run at large. There should not be a bale of hay, a bushel of corn, a pound of meat or a gallon of syrup shipped into Polk this yesr. Every bit of it can and should be raised right here at home Don’t forget that the State Agri cultural Department will furnish cal clum arsenate at actual cost to our farmers. Get your supply now. There is going to be a great rush for it when it is realized just how numer ous the weevils are this year. If you try to raise more cotton than you can take care of under boll weevil conditions, Mr. and Mrs. Billie and their brood will get it all. You have seen men try to farm more ac res than they eould cultivate during a rainy season, but Billie can give General Green all sorts of odds and still beat him—as you will find out if you leave him out of your calcula tions from now on. "Later I suffered from weakness and weak back, and felt all run-down. I. did not rest well at night. I was so ■arrous and cross. My husband said ha would get me some Cardul. which he did. It strengthened me . . . My doctor said I got along fine. I was In good healthy condition. I cannot say too much for it.” Thousands of women have suffered aa Mrs. Williams describes, until they found relief from the use of Cardul. Since It has helped so many, you should not hesitate to try Cardul If troubled with womanly aliments. For sale everywhere. E.SJ There is absolutely no necessity for anyone in Cedartown or Polk county having small pox, typhoid fe ver or rabies, and very little excuse for having malaria. See your city or county health officer, and get inoccu- lated against both typhoid and small pox, and if bitten by a dog take the Pasteur treatment promptly. And if you will drain your lands so that you will have no stagnant water, or will put a thin coating of kerosene oil on your ponds, you will have no malaria breeding mosquitoes. Sad Words. Of al! sad words Of tongue or pen The bill collector Is back again. —Quitman Free Press. Of all sad words Were ever writ Are penciled thus: “Oh, please remit.” —Dalton Citizen. Of all sad words We look upon, The saddest are: “You're overdrawn.” Get Ready to Fight. Dearly beloved, we had much rath er sit in our sanctum and write more or less classic effusions on “The Hercness of the Now,” “The Wented- ness of the Gone," or “The Nowness of the Hereafter,” but we firmly be lieve that every newspaper —any body, in fact, who can write or talk —has an important duty to perform right now, and that almost any other subject can wait. We refer, of course, to the great menace just be fore us, Mr. and Mrs. Billie Boll Weevil and their numerous progeny. We are constrained to do this by the knowledge that in every section where the weevil has wrought ruin, so few farmers or their backers would believe that the weevil would ever hit them —and would hardly own to it even after they had been wiped out by it. It is to try to save the people of Polk from this fatal mistake, into which their fellow farmers in other sections have invariably fallen, that The Standard is each week writing editorials on the subject and pub lishing the advice given by the Fed eral and State Agricultural Depart ments. Following their leadership, we want to strongly urge every far mer to use calcium arsenate this year under the Government direc tions. It will pay you if your land will raise as much as half a bale to the acre under normal conditions. If it will not produce at least that much, yon had better plant it to something else or let it lie idle rather than put it in cotton. There is going to be the largest acreage put into cotton this spring that the Cotton Belt has ever seen, and were It not that the boll weevil will vastly curtail the crop the price outlook would be bad Indeed. Many farmers are going to try to raise cot ton without fertilizer, and this is a hopeless proposition under weevil conditions. Thousands of farmers are going to try to "lay by," re gardless of the fact that the weevil takes no laying-by time. Oreat num bers will take a gambler's chance and ignore the weevil, and it takes neith er a prophet nor the son of a prophet to tell just what is going to happen to them. There is only one sensible thing to do if you are going to risk anything at all on cotton this season, and that is to follow the Government’s direc tions to the letter. Get your seed bed well prepared, and don’t allow yourself to get in a hurry and plow your land too wet, for cloddy land makes poor crops. Fertilize judic iously. Plant a variety of cotton that keeps putting on squares, so that the weevils will have something to work on while your bottom bolls are making. Dust calcium arsenate on the plants as soon as you find weevils there, for all the left-overs you kill the less fighting you will have to do later. Using the poison, you will have comparatively few squares to pick up. Cultivate fre- quenty,and don’t let up on it till pick ing time. And, whatever else you do, don’t fail to raise all your own food and feed stuffs. If you do these things— all of them— you can afford to risk five or six acres to the plow on land that will ordinarily produce a half-bale to the acre. A larger ac reage, or a failure to follow the Gov ernment’s recommendations, means that the boll weevil will get his share and yours, too. We know that a large percentage of farmers consider this too much trouble and will not try it, but what Billy and hia brood will do to them this year will be a plenty. A foe to fight? Yes, but victory- over him by the methods we have outlined means independence this year and every year that they are in telligently and faithfully pursued. A menace? Yes, but he is going to cut down the crop of those who will not listen to reason, and will thus bring a better price to the man who does use his head as well as his hands. A ouTse? Yes, but every farmer can turn the curse into a blessing if he will. What will YOU do? Children’s Week. The week of April 23d-30th will be known as Children’s Week by the j .•angelical churches of Georgia, and ' special * efforts will be made to get the children and young people inter-1 ested ir> church and Sunday school • work. It has been truly said that a church that fails to save its own young peo ple cannot hope to do much toward saving the world. With the fact staring us in the face that an overwhelming majority of major crimes are today being committed by boys and girls under 1 twenty years of age, it behooves parents, churches, Sunday schools. and every possible instrument for! good to get busy. Children's Week ought to End \ general and enthusiastic observance j all over Georgia. SOMEWHERE NEAR YOU ROGERS WHERE SATISFACTION IS A CERTAINTY. Friday H Saturday 17 lbs.

SWINNEY, Main St. ■YVWfilmw Manager A Good Move Resolutions by Senator Harris of Georgia, for publication of additional cotton statistics, were reported fav orably last week by the Senate Ag riculture Committee. The Director of the Census would be required to report the number of bales which probably will be ginned from the cur rent crop. At Senator Harris’ urgent request, this was done last fall, although there was no law requiring it, and it saved the farmers many thousands of dol lars. Cotton all opened at once, and the gin reports showed an unusually large amount of cotton ginned, thus giving the impression of a bumper crop. Senator Harris was well post ed on the situation, and knew that the crop would really be one of the smallest for many years. His timely action then prevented the speculat ors from bearing the market on the strength of the gin reports. The Senate and House will prob ably pass his bill, and the publication will then be in accordance with law instead of depending on the request of some faithful friend of the farmer —such as Senator Harris has ever proved himself to be. We are told that in a county jail not a hundred miles from here a couple of bank wreckers are being showered with flowers and atten tions by their “admiring friends.” It is needless to say that such mawkish sentimentality is a strong encourage ment to crime in others. Prisoners should be treated humanely, but it is a great mistake to “slobber” over them. After as thorough an investigation as it is possible for us to make, we have no hesitation in urging our farmers to at once buy a supply of calcium arsenate to use on their cot ton at the first appearance of the bdll weevil on the plant. It will save you much work in picking up squares, just as the use of Paris green does away with the necessity of picking potato bugs. With five times as many weevils as ever before at the begin- ; ning of a season, it is going to be necessary to use every possible means to fight the pests. Fortunately, the Federal and State Agricultural .de partments give full and free direc tions on the subject —and if you are not going to follow these directions,; you had better not waste your time planting cotton. Haralson’s Victory. j The Standard last week made brief mention of the fact that Haralson | county had carried her 3200,000 road bond issue. The vote was 1,- | 739 for the bonds, and 491 against. Many of the opposition voters had i been deceived by false reports as to | conditions in Polk—where, as a mat ter of fact, nearly everybody is well pleased with the general result of our bond election, the only dissatisfac tion coming from the fact that it has been a physical impossibility to get to all the roads at once and that no road can be worked to advantage in wet weather. Only three districts gave majorities against bonds. In the same election Haralson also voted to repeal her four-dayroad law, which had proved so utterly inade quate in these days cf progress. Haralson did a good day's work, and her people are to be congratulat ed on the result of the election. Two previous efforts to issue bonds had j failed, and the outcome was regard ed with some anxiety. The women voters took an interest in this pro gressive measure, and helped to put it over. They often have more sane and progressive ideas than their men folks. The money will be expended in completing the east and west highway through Bremen, Waco and Talla poosa, and in building the north and south highway connecting with the Polk section of the Chattanooga-Ap- palachicola interstate route, receiv ing Federal Aid in both projects,and will also improve the roads of the county generally. Polk county had a vital interest in the success of her neighbor in this election. It extends the great in terstate highway from Chattanooga via Cedartown through one more j county on its way to Florida, and j there is little doubt that Carroll and 1 other counties to the south of us will soon fall in line and follow the good example set by Floyd. Polk and Har alson in issuing bonds to “do their j bit” on it. Let the good work go on!
