LOCATE BABY CLINIC HERE Every effort is being made on the part of the civic clubs and citizens to secure the location in this city of the child health clinic to be established by the American Child Health Association. Such a clime is of more than ordinary importance to not only Athens, but the southeastern states. The proposed ' clinic is the only one to be established in the south and it is highly important for it to be located here on account of Athens being the educational center Representatives from many southern states have • applied for the clinie and visits of large delegations have held .conferences with the officers of the asso- ' ciatlon, but so far it has not been determined by those in authority just where the clinic for the south eastern states will be located. Athens has made a strong plea for it and many advantages not possess- ed by other communities in other states have been presented by the committee in charge of securing it for this city, and much encouragement has been re ceived, but.no definite action by the association has been taken. It is generally believed that Athens is being considered favorably and that when the final declesion has been made that this city will.be tho favored location on account of its being an advan- . tageous point and the fountain head of learning in the state. FINAL WARNING TO FARMERS • County Agent Flror has issued a final warning to the farmers calling upon them to keep .up the fight against the boll wecvilland to dust and poison for two weeks more. His advice is wise and timely. Th.fi is f the critical period for the cotton crop and unless the squares are picked up and poisoning kept up, the boll weevil will, yet destroy the crop which is prac tically made. The prospects are good for an unusual crop of ' cotton and within another week’s time the fields will 1 be white and the pickers busily engaged in harvest ing and preparing it for the gin, but the young, bolls i are in danger and unless the weevil is conquered all fruit not matured will be destroyed. Tho determination and grit shown by the farmers in protecting their cotton from the ravages of the boll weevil this yep- lias been most commendable and if the same spirit is kept up for a short time tho crop will bi made and placed beyond this danger. It is an encouraging condition and now to lose over night what we have gained from a hard year’s work will be unfortunate indeed. Follow the advice of k t A---1 Firor and bss- si n the process of po!?oninir E dusting from now until the green bolls arc matured and we will have a crop of cotton which will bring prosperity and good times to all. FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH MEXICO There has been considerable publicity given through the press of the country intimating that official friendly relations would be established between America and Mexico. Wo understood that friendly relations existed now, but we have always filt that this nation was dealing with a treacherous class of citizens who would not only rob us of our rights in relation to their country, but that they would gladly join with any other country in aiding and abetting to bring on trouble for us in any manner possible. Our soldiers should have never Jbeen withdrawn from Mexico by President Wilson. Enougn men should have been sent into that country to have over powered and conquered them and a binding treaty demanded which Svouid have caused them to keep faith with America. The personnel of the citizen ship of Mexico is undesirable and unreliable. A mon grel set of Indians, Spaniards and Mexicans making up a breed of citizenship without character or stabil ity ; incompetent to manage and direct their own af fairs and live as a law abiding nation, they resort to the guerrilla form of government which destroys not only the commercial welfare of the country, but lowers the morals of society and builds.up a nation U outlaws. * Whether “friendly relations” are established or- not, before that country can hope to succeed and be come prosperous, its citizens must become civilized and perfect a law-abiding government before they can hope to be rated as a safe and substantial nation to ,r coK . nize and deal with as they Tndlhonfidence natio " 3 . J n whom they have faith Insurrections-have been going on in Mexico for Sinc * . tlle days of President Diaz no pres- ident has-been able to satisfy and control the dis- turbine element in that nation. It is indeed aq ,'un- fr fortunate condition,' not only for Mexico, but for all nation!) , With both federal and slate authorities hammor- ' v "'l, e c ? al am! gasoline prices, maybe the pub- 1, lie will receive some consideration at the hands , of v the trusts and come into their own. * v Every farmer in Clarke county should increase - poultry and hog-raising another year. There are not enough chickens and hogs raised in this county ' to supply the coal Consumer.

D0LL8 Hetty has dolls that can talk, And dolls that cnn roll their eyes, And dools which, wound with a key will walk, But tho ono that she seems to prize. The one that she holds supremely dear And constantly packs about. Has a broken nose and a battered ear, , And half of the sawdust out. She keeps the others In solemn state And plays with thorn more or less. But treats them all In a way se date And keeps them In party dr.ess; But the broken doll—aren’t ch^dren queer?— She hugs to her baby breast The doll \tith the broken nose and ear Is the one that she loves the best! And maybe that is the reason why A woman will fondly cling To the sort of a mah whom the world may eye As broken and useless thing; DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?
