(bi ‘ HOW WINTERVILLE WON OUT On dne side of Athens is the little town of Winter- vMle. On the other side, about the same distance from Athens is Watkinsville, Ga„ and, according to Col. M. Or Michael, one of the city's claim to fame lies in the fact that Athens is bounded on the east by Winter- vllle, and on the west by Watkinsville. From recent happenings at Winterville, this prophecy is about to bje .verified. When the boll weevil began to cat up the cotton a year or so ago, Winterville farmers were about ready tO'thrdtv up the sponge. However, the Winterville High Sphool boys stepped into the breach. Under the diftetion of the school superintendent, they se cured purebred cotton seed from the Agricultural College and went to work to make cotton under boll weevil conditions. They found that with good land, : ich is abundant around Winterville, with purebred sged, ind with proper cultural methods, they could not only make cotton, but a better grade of cotton, bringing about $7 a bale premium on account of longer' Staple. Now all the farmers around Winterville have taken the tip) of the high school boy3, and formed the Win terville' Pure Seed Association. They are planting only ope kind of cotton around Winterville these days—‘College No. 1. They are getting around $7 a bale'prcmium for it, and they have found a ready market for all their surplus seed at a good price. ' It is re pitted that the Winterville section raised last year 60 per cent of all the cotton that .was raised in Ciarko'iCounty. Now we want to know what Wat- kinsvjlle and other towns in this section arc going to do about it? . A REMARKABLE SHOWING No more cheering: and encouraging news could he furnished the pcople of this section than the recently published statement of Georgia Railroad Bank that during:the past year, ending on April 20th, the sav ings accounts nt-thnt one bank had increased $1,854.- 154, aiid at the same time the checking deposits show an increase of $860,354,' or a-total increase in de posits of nearly two and a quarter million dollars. Augusta’s thrifty folks have a total of over five million‘dollars in savings at the Georgia Railroad Bank, .with checking accounts of nearly three and a half millions, or a grand total of deposits in this one Augusta bank of some eight and a half million dol lars. , r .-. It is-safe to say that all of the Augusta banks are also showing steady and healthy gains in both class- l ea of deposits. 1 Both' monthly clearings and debits to individual accounts for months past have shown the business activity and prosperity that has comc back to Augusta along with the rest of the country. . Atlanta’s clearings last Saturday were over two million dollars over the corresponding day last year, and fqr the week they were nearly 16 million ahead of last-year. The story of growth, business activity and prosperity that Augusta, Atlanta and other cities Of this section arc showing seems, conclusive evidence that the South has turned the comer and is headed once more in the right direction. And what is true of tho Augusta and Atlanta banks is being duplicated day by day by the strong and progressive financial institutions of Athens. , Hum pirates off the Atlantic coast must make the shade 'of Captain Kidd envious. Hooch-smuggling scoonin arc found occassionally, deserted at sea, lftjtuorrgone, decks strewn with empty cartridge shells and otl^cr evidence of a fight to the death. In effect; these pirates are hired by their customers ashore to commit murder. The money planked down py thirsty consumers is indirectly the lure that incites . to the killings. Not a pleasant thought, but ethically true. ' 1 Germany is enforcing its law that compels hus bands to give a third of their incomes to their wives <to maintain the family table. Rent and other house hold expenses do not come out of the third. How imuch bf father’s pay is spent for food in your house hold? Forty-three cents out of each $1 spent by the 'Average American wage-earner’s family of five goes H jpr fopd, according to the National Industrial Con- vence Board, leading expert in such matters. The Ipmble stomach is nearly half of our problem of ex- stence. * r f For 1 three years the allies have been dynamiting hMje great fortifications built by the Germans on Hel igoland- German scientists “fear” the explosions have >PO shattered the underlying rock that the sea will sqojp ;,ent>ro{.v Annihilate the whole island. Too ggod to bfc , true. ^Another echo' of the big war from Washington, where. It become.- known that about 1188 million dol lars will be the damager demanded of Germany by KT f Dcle f Sam. This covers all government and citizens’ '•lainis, including Lusitania losses. Balancing this jfealnst what the war cost us, we’ll realize about five )cents on the dollar. And that’s an extravagant es- jtimatc. But safety is cheap at any price. The pettiness of ourselves aiid the so-cillcd troubles that worry us is emphasized by the Harvard astronomers’ report that 860 nebulae are discovered in one photograph of the heavens taken in Peru. Each nebula is a luminous gaseous mass. Many of them are whole solar system in the making, just as the sun<t moon,, earth and other planets once swirled together in the form of gas. A single grain of sand, thrown mto the Pacific Ocean, is smaller by comparison than our earth in the vast universe. Human vanity-is the Dost ridiculous of all jokes. Judge George F.

Do you know how much better cooking fat is when it’s fresh pisi i inn £■ Hmc 9 .rjtyr Snowdrift is sweet and fresh— Sweet as you use the word to de scribe sweet cream—Fresh as you use the word to describe a new laid egg. Mqpy and many a good cook tells us that she has used shortening of one kind or another all her life and never realized, until she tried Snow drift, howsweet and fresh and good a cooking fat could be. Snowdrift is pure and rich and creamy and white and fresh when we make it, because we make it that way. It is pure and rich and creamy and white and fresh when you open ,it in your kitchen, because it has been packed in an airtight tin. Only a truly airtight tin will keep a cookirlg fat as fresh as the day it was made. All shortening is fat. If it is pure fat, like Snowdrift, it will grow old and stale, even if not actu ally rancid, in the course of time if it is packed in an open tub or ordinary tin. A cover, even if it is on pretty tight, can’t keep fat really fresh. If you have ever put up fruits or vegetables yourself, you know that only a truly airtight jar wii^keep things from spoiling. So Snowdrift is put up in truly airtight tins. At first the only airtight tin we could find was the sanitary tin can that is used for vegetables, soups, milk, and such things! This tin can had to be opened with a knife or can-opener, as usual. It was a bother, of course, but the fresh ness of Snowdrift made it worth the trifling extra trouble. Now a bucket has been invented —we had a share in the indenting— that is still truly airtight but opens easily. Now we can offer you Snowdrift —pure, rich, creamy, white and as fresh as the day it was made—in such a convenient bucket that there is no need for anyone to eVer use an old or stale fat again. in a f bucket a handy handle no rough edges’ -ij, v*-- A cover that goe* back on still absolutely airtight h^t now as easy to open as~winding the clock ' <n
