Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cot
Half By Food And Grain
Making And Saving
Atlanta, Georgia,—(Special.)—"High
irices tor cotton, such as we had a
ear ago cannot reasonably be expect-
il (or a long time to come. European
ountries that normally use hal( our
rop are So thoroughly disorganized
nil paralyzed in a business way that
will not be able to take the
Ifiial quantities and pay high prices
many years to come,” said H. G.
actings, President of the great
loutheustern Fair. i
"This situation which we cannot |
t ntrol, calls for lower costs of male- j
S cotton as well as reduction in cot- j
acreage. The quickest, safest
[ id most effective way to reduce cot-
n making cost is to produce on one’s
vn acres every pound of food, grain
nd forage needed for family, tenants
laborers and live stock.
"The situation requires chickens, '
milk cows and acres of corn,
wheat, forage and miscellane-
I ue crops from which to feed them,
ast,' but not least, in importance, is
le home vegetable garden which is
10 quickest and cheapest source of
md in the world.
“Most folks here in the South don’t
ske the home garden seriously and
hereby make a great mistake. There
Je too many of the Tick and a prom-,
sort of gardens and mighty few [
! the real sure enough kind.
"IV e have been told repeatedly by |
lose who plan and prepare for a real
Ivden, plant it, tend it and keep it
■planted through the season, that it
Tnishes half the family living at no
Iney cost except the small amount
ent for the seeds needed.
|The garden is, or rather should be,
earliest plunted. It brings food
quickest. It starts cutting store
for food the first week anything
eady to use. A little later, halt,
hiore needed for the table comes j
tif the garden. j
If rightly tended and replanted it :
Idles food all summer and fall, the
flus above daily needs goes into ,
r or is dried for winter use. Yes,
right kind of garden is a life-
»r, and we all need a life-saver of
kind in 1921.”

Keep The Egg
Basket Full!
The feed elements that
make whites of eggs are en
tirely different from those that make yolks. When
hens aren’t fed both the white and yolk making
elements, they can’t keep the egg basket full. The
usual method of feeding mostly grain makes yolks
but not enough whites to complete the eggs.
Missouri Experiment Station tests prove that 100 lbs. of
wheat, corn, oats, barley and kaffir corn make (above bodily main
tenance) an average of 224 yolks to 154 whites. Based on data
from the same experiments, Purina formulas produce, (above bodily
maintenance) as follows:
Purina Hen Chow
Purina Chicken Chowder
Combined Ration
Yolks
247.49
182.05
Whites
142.11
282.55
429.54 424.66
These Purina chows not only mike a practically equal num
ber of whites and yolks but more of both than ordinary chows.
Note that Purina Chicken Choivder contains the necessary white-forming
elements to balance up the yolk
making grain ration. That’s why
it makes hens lay so heavily. In
stead of the yolks being absorbed
by the hen’s system, Purina
Chicken Chowder makes the
whites to complete the eggs and
they are laid. Tims we can ab
solutely guarantee
more eggs or money back
on Purina Chicken Chowder if
fed with Purina Hen Cnow as
directed. You take no risk.

Facts of Vital Interest to

Socialistic Scheme Worthy
of Lenine And Trotsky
The Municipal League of Georgia is
ostensibly an organization of towns
and cities in Geo.gia. In reality the
league consists of Marion M. Jackson,
James L. Key and John J. Eagan of
Atlanta. About one hundred munici
palities have been induced to lend
their names to the organization with
out investigating the aims of its domi
nating spirit, or where the League
originated.
In one of the bulletins of the Muni
cipal League the following statement
appears:
“The League has no connection
with any organization outside of
Georgia.”
From “Public Ownership,” the of-
cial bulletin of the Public Ownership
League of America, for August, 1919,
is copied the following:
“Atlanta and Georgia Organizing:
“A letter just received from Marion M.
Jackson, aaya:—'We ara now In the midet
of our flght here, both locally and for tho
State. It la our purpoae to organise both

force to bring It to a successful conclu
sion.’
‘Mr. Jackson, and Mr, John Kagan, aa
well as Hon. James L. Key, the mayor of
the city of Atlanta, arc aU members of
the Publfe Ownership League."
Who Carl D. Thompson la
The Public Ownership League of
America is a socialistic organization
of Chicago, Illinois, headed by Carl D,
Thompson, Secretary, who was at one
time Secretary to Victor Berger, So
cialistic Mayor of Milwaukee.
In the programme of a meeting,
commencing November 15th, 1919, of
the Public Ownership League of
America, at Chicago, Mr. Marion M.
Jackson is listed aa one of the speak
ers.
The Municipal League of Georgia
advocates and stands for the funda
mental theory of Socialism—Govern
ment Ownership—The secretary of
the parent organization, the Public
Ownership League of America, in its
meeting at Chicago, Illinois, November
15th, 1919, declared the features of
the work for 1920 should be for the
retention and ultimate public owner
ship of railroads; the nationalization
of coal mines; continuous efforts to
have telephones and telegraphs a part
of the Postal System; continued pres
sure of the effort to promote munici
pal ownership of all utilities.
A Trick To Make Socialists
The plan it to first fool the peovls
into voting for national, state or mu
nicipal ownership of these important
factors in the economic life of the na
tion, and then to change banking and
manufacturing to public ownership,
and the Socialist Party would then
announce itself.
This process of camouflaging the
real motive behind the effort is evi
dently chosen because the socialists
well knew that their sophistries ’and
generalities would not find among the
people of Georgia enough disordered
brains to form the nucleus for an ef
fective political machine but with the
cunning of their kind they have
branded their effort the Municipal
League of Georgia and committed its
activities to Messrs. Key, Jackson and
Eagan.
Lenine and Trotsky learned their
lesson from the same school.
“Seer’ Finds Possible
Clue to Missing Man
Moultrie, Ga., Jan. 2.—V. J. John-!
son, Moultrie automobile man, who
has been strangely missing since the
night of December 15, mysteriously
disappeared once before, about four
years ago, it has just been learned
here. It was following his recovery
from a severe ease of typhoid fever
and when he was nientaly unbalanced
that Johnson first dropped out of
sight and was gone for several
months.
He was not living in this State at
that time, but it is stated that upon
his return home he said his mind was
blank all of the time during his ab
sence.
This development has led to the
missing man’s wife, who is a bride of
but a few months and tho daughter
of a well-known Moultrie man, and
other members of the fsmily to be
lieve that Johnson is again suffering
from some kind of mental disturbance.
Some officers who have worked on the
case, however, still hold to the view
that Johnson was murdered after he
left Valdosta early on the night of
December 15 for his home here, itis
body disposed of and his automobile
stolen. No one has been able to find
a single reason for Johnson volun
tarily seeking to “lose himself.” His
business affairs were in good shape
and his homo life apparently was hap
py-
“Seer” Predicts Return.
Not a single definite trace has been
found of the missing man since he told
a friend nt, Valdosta good-bye after
taking supper with him and stating
that he was going to come home the
most direct route as his “wife was
not feeling well,” although a large
number of wild rumors have been
investigated.
A Moultrie “seer” who has a wide
reputation in this section of tbe State,
as a man who can tell how to find
anything lost, either persons or ob
jects, was responsible for the dis
covery that Johnson had once disap
peared. His statement to that effect
was investigated and found to be true.
This sume “seer” declares that John-,
son is again temporarily mentally un
balanced and is now in Jacksonville.
The automobile man will return when
he gets in possession of his mental
faculties. Members of the family
thought enough of the “seer’s” state
ments to urge the Jacksonville au
thorities to m%ke a diligent search for
Regulations Regarding
Collection of Box Rent
No box shall be assigned to the use
of any person until the rent therefor
has been paid. Box rents must be col
lected nt the beginning of each quar
ter for the entire quarter, but no long
er. When a box is rented after the
beginning of a quarter, rent must be
collected pro rata for the remainder
of the quarter. Ten days before the
last day of each quarter postmasters
are required to place in each rented
box a bill, on this form, bearing the
date of the last day of the quarter,
which must be receipted upon pay
ment of the rent. If a box holder fails
to renew his right to his box on or
| before the last day of a quarter, the
box shall then be closed and offered
for rent and the mail placed in the
general delivery. (See section 353,
Postal Laws and Regulations.)
