TO HAVE EXHIB ITS AT SEVERAL FAIRS The Bureau of Navigation has is sued orders to all Navy Recruiting Stations to make a special drive for recruits in that Branch, and to suc cessfully do this we fully realize the importance of asking the assktance of the Newspapers in so far as con sistent with their daily routine of business. We 'are not permitted to run printed advertisements, and a ruling of that sort almost makes it obligatory on us to request the pa pers to carry something in the nature of a news item that will answer the purpose and at the same time prove very beneficial to those of their sub scribers desirous of voluntarily en listing into the Navy. The Navy is now offering some splendid opportu nities to all men between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five years inclus ive, and they can now volunteer into that branch irrespective of whether or not they registered on June 6th in the Selective service act All that is necessary for the applicant to do k to first go to the Local Draft Board of the County where registered and se cure a certificate from ~ EXPERT TO GIVE DEMONSTRATION get in the yoeman branch.

You will find Georgia boys represented in every branch of the service. 'Have met lots of my college friends up here that I did not know were in thk part of the country and all are well pleased with the branch that they are in. We are all looking forward to a gi gantic naval battle this summer and those that enlkt now may get in in time to enjoy the excitement Trusting that the olu town k just as fine as ever, I am, ' G. M. HAMILTON. As an evidence of hk recognition of tho importance of continuing fains of the county during tha war, Undo Bam is arranging a monster exhibit for a few of the most important fain of the United States and the manage ment of the Southeastern Fair has arranged to secure this big exhibit in its entirety.

Thk exposition of the activities of the government in ita work of winning the war includes the Departments of Agriculture, War, Navy, Interior, Commbrce, Food Administration and Committee on Public Information. The exhibit will be accompanied by representatives of each Department who will expkin and demonstrata tha different features to tho visitors to the fair. In addition to the corporeal exhibits, there will bo moving pictures of a character that will only bo avail able to the general publle on each oc casion as thk and for thk reason, the people of Georgk who have an oppor tunity to visit Atlanta during the Fair should bo sura to avail them-, selves of thk great source of infor mation which has been arranged at MISS LETA WOOD TO BE IN CHARGE OF COTTAGE CHEESE DEMONSTRATION AT COUNCIL CHAMBER AT CITY HALL.
