Before planning your crop the pres ent year you should study the cotton situation. It is a profitable crop at the high prices this season, but the thing that is holding the price is grad ual sale by the farmers. A small crop will bring the farmor more dollars than a large crop. You can grow more than the mills can use, and if you do 1904 conditions may come. Plant oth er crops. Be independent, of your cot- tom crop. “UNCLE SAM” AND THE HOME GARDEN Well Known Civic Leader Shows How a Vegetable Garden Will Cut The Family Store Bill In Half Mrs. Luther Loyd of Oak Grove is the guest of Mrs. A.

I am organizing a Home Orchard Club and would be glad to have as many members as possible. All hos pitals, boards of health and physi cians recommend fruit every day in the year. Many thousands of dollars are sent out of our county annually for peaches, apples, etc., that could be grown profitably in the home orch ard. Let us have an orchard at every home in the county. Men, women, boys and girls can all join this club. I ex pect Mr. Blackburn of the College of Agriculture to spend a couple of days with me about February first. He will give one demonstration in prun ing and spraying. All club members will be notified. Write me if interest ed. W. N. DIXON, , County Agent. Mr. James Austin of Kenwood wants one hundred labor's at once. Be sure and terrace the farm you are to work before spring. For best overalls see Blalock, Mc- Collem, Roberts Co. Bethany and Sandy Creek schools have suspended temporarily on ac count of flu. A landing place for aviators is in order. The people of our town sat idle and let other towns establish five rural routes in the county. Had our people been watching for the oppor tunity the mail of these routes would have been delivered from points in the county. Unless we provide a landing they will pass our town by. It is everybody’s business to look after this. Mr. Ira Staton, one of the oldest citizens of the western part of the county, died Saturday and the funeral and interment was had at Hopewell. A sad death to the people of our town was that of Mr. Claud, B. Lee in Atlanta last Monday. Mr. Lee was born in this county thirty-tlirfee years ago, was born and reared hoar here and for several years made Viis home in our town. He was married to Miss Vora Coppedge, also of the: county. They moved to Atlanta and he was employed by the Fourth National Bank until his recent illness. He was a good boy and for the past fiew years was an active member and official of the Methodist Church near his home. He is survived by his wife and one small boy. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the people pf the en tire town. Three aviation machines passed this way last Tuesday and had our town had a landing place would havp spent a few hours in our city. They jwere from Southern Field Aviation Camp near Americus and were piloted by Lieuts Barnes, Greenwolt, Blackler, Walfe, Potts and Sergeant Day. nhiree men are making an aviation miap of the state preparatory to establishing mail routes'and other commercial trattspor tation. They passed ovejr several times and our people were Exceedingly anxious to see them land. The use of these machines are just cpming into use and the recent war demonstrated we not only had the best' machines, hut the best aviators of the world. Those who saw their several exploits over our town do not doubt their suc cess and many believe theyr are one of the coming modes of transportation in the near future. The area for landing was so small until they thought best to pass on and near Griffin one was wrecked in a treetop when gasoline had given out. The twd occupants were safely landed. Aviation is only in its infancy and people will soon re alize this. We were delighted to see them and hope others will come this way. Our people should provide a landing place. The children and relatives of Mrs. Pellie Graves desire to thank their firends for their kindness and cour tesy during the recent illness and death of their mother.

None of the native trees grow to such an age as the old-fashtoned yew. Yew trees exist now that are known to be over 2,000 years old. Oaks run the yew closely in the race for age, and several have lived 1,500 years, it Is claimed. Chestnuts rtUch the age of 300 occasionally, and eTns, which are not particularly long lU’ed as tree? go, may see 300 before thej die • Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—"Few peo ple realize the actual money-saving power of the home vegetable garden and what it can be made to contrib ute in the way of food for the fam ily table/’ says President H. G. Has tings, of the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce, and the Southeastern Fair, in discussing the matter of food supply for the South in 1919. “Uncle Sam, through the United States Department of Agriculture,” said Mr. Hastings, “estimated the value of the vegetables produced last year in home gardens of the United States at three hundred and fifty mil lion of dollars. This means that much actually saved by the garden makers from their store bills. “Whenever there is lack of food or money to buy food, no matter wheth er it be due to world-wide food scarc ity, boll weevil damage or other cause, the first word ‘Uncle Sam’ passes out to the sufferer is to make a good big home garden. Why? Because the right kind of a home garden is the quickest, cheapest and best source of food supply there is. “The great trouble here in the South is that our people don’t take the home garden seriously enough, or give it the attention that its importance as a food producer and money-saver justi fies. It is mostly made with a ‘lick and a promise’ and the cultivation and replanting it gets during the growing season is mostly of the unfulfilled promise kind. "With the present and certain-to-be- continued high food prices on the one hand, and the very great uncertainty as to the price that cotton or other cash crops will sell for next fall, it is a time above all others to play safe. “This is no time to gamble on cot ton. Npne of us can tell within 15 cents a pound what it will sell for next fall. The farmer who makes few or no store debts for food, producing his own and family needs on home acres, is safe regardless of cotton prices, and he is the only one who is safe. 1 "The right kind of a home garden maintained all through the season and given a square deal in the way of cul tivation, is the greatest store-bill-cut- ter on record. A quarter to half an acre garden for the average family will cut the store bill in half.” KENWOOD. Miss Gennice Austin of Morrow Ga., is visiting relatives at this place.

A REAL MAN. >»»!>»»•»«««««:«! It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have. an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t so afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu- % lant to real manhood, The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It’s not what a man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s ' what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing nntil you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. »»>»»•>»««;<:<««« BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. LAZINESS DOES AS MUCH HARM AS MEANNESS 1 have less patience with laziness than with' wickedness.

Allies Send Ultimatum To The Turks London.—The allies have notified Turkey that unless the Turkish force at Medina lays down its arms imme diately the forts at the Dardanelles will be destroyed. The Turks have shown an unwillingness to surrender in accordance with the armistice terms, but all the garrisons except that at Medina, which is tire largest in Arabia, laid down their arms as a result of peaceful persuasion. The commander of Medina offered one ex cuse after another until the allies -were forced to send the ultimatum. Allies Burn Kadish; Reoccupy Ruins Archangel.—Activities were renew ed by the American and allied forces on the Kadish front. According to incomplete reports to headquarters at i this place the Americans burned the village of Kadish, retired from it and i then went forward and reoccupied the I ruins.
