‘ 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.

trustee of the University of
Georgia, and one of the ablest
jurists of the state lectured
this morning to tho mombers of

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.
