county. Mr. Erwin says that oni

he did not apply poison the crop

to do him three years, besides
plenty of fail manner of food stuff.
Tom soys his fine barbecue din

I wish every merchant In Ath-

Thursday morning and witnessed
the success of the sale advertised
by Mr. Goodman. Our's were the
only pages in which this sale was
published, and they certainly
drew the crowds.! The rush of
traders was so great that the
doors had to be locked and only
enough admitted at a time that
could he waited on. But long
strings of customers platently
waited on the sidewalk for their

PAYS TO
ADVERTISE
I entered the store and the
large number of extra salesmen
u.*re kept hustling. And the goods
and nrlces were just as advertis
ed. This sale shows that there Is
p * nty of money afloat if the right
inducements are offered and It
also shows that the Banner and

MRS. W. W. STARK
Mrs. stark’s active work for
forestry in th? State of Georgia
began about four years ago while
chairman of conservation for the
9th district Federation of Woman’s
Clubs. Everywhere* Mrs. Stark
went she was so deeply impressed
at the ruthless destruction of Geor
gia's forests Jhat she ^wrote an
article for the newspapers of her
district on "Conservation of our
Trees.” A wide circulation was
given this article.
Mrs. Stark was one of twelve
women appointed by Mrs. J. E.
"Georgia Forestry Association" In
Macon, June J922, Mrs. Stark VU
elected vice-president of tbe M-
Bociatyuin and also chairman of
forestry work in the Ninth Dis
trict. Her plan for work in ths
9th district, submitted to tho exe
cutive board of the Georgia Fores
try Association was so splendid
that it was unanimously adapted as
a model for the work in all the
other districts.

meeting In Atlanta July 19
At this* meeting Mrs. Stark be-
can{e so Intense!*/ interested in
the startling statistics given of
Georgia’s great loss from forest
|fires and other causes that she
resolved to carry this message to
the people of her district. She se
cured the names of thirty editors
and their newspapers in the Iinth
Nistrict and asked them to help
her carry this inessage through
their papers to their thousands of
readers. Almost all of these editors
showed a fine spirit of co-opera
tion and carried editorials, Mrf.
Stark’s series of articles, and Dr.
Andrew Soule’s address before the
forestry congress "Tbe Farm For
est An Asset"
After the incorporation of tbo

in their counties. She expects to
jwrfect these lists in October, and
as soon a» thin is done she will
send these teachers plans for ac
tive work.
In the meantime she is appoint
ing a chairman of forestry work In
each county to assist ih this «brk.
Mrs. Stark has also asked every
woman’s club In the 9th district
to haVe a program on forestry.
Mrs. Stark, from wide observe/
tion and study of the subject. Is
convinced that Georgl* needs so
much ns an Intelligent conserva
tion of her foists with stflty*
forestry officers and an adequate
state appropriation tor tbe work.
She Is giving freely of her time,
talents and means to awaken the
