WOUNDED SOLDIERS TO BE EDUCATED RE “Find the wounded soldier and tell him of his wonderful opportunity for training at government expense” is the slogan of the county agents and home demonstration agents of the Georgia State College of Agriculture this week. The Federal Vocation Board, through its Atlanta office at 823 Forsyth Build ing, has asked the Extension Agents to help find all the men who have even the slightest disability incurred in either foreign or domestic military service during the world war. Any man with a disability, however slight, has the right to apply for re education at the government expense He need not necessarily have suffered a great injury as the loss of a limb or an eye. Too, there is no reville drill and retreat, to vocational training for disabled men. The government will train men either in shops or in schools for all kinds of occupations. The private will receive, in case he wishes to enter an educational institution, his tuition, laboratory fees, books, etc., and in ad dition $65 per month for board and lodging. Officers will receive their base pay for the last month in the army. If there is a wounded soldier in your community get him in touch with the county agent, home demonstration agent or Red Cross. J. PHIL CAMPBELL, Director of Extension. Athens, 4, 28, 1919. The fireless cooker is a very simple labor saving device that can be made very cheaply at home. It has been said: “Future historians in summing up the great achievements of the first quarter of the twentieth century will probably name as the most important wireless telegraphy, aviation and fireless cookery.” The fireless cooker saves time; while food is cooking, the house keep er may be occupied with other duties without fear of its burning. It gives better foods, many foods thus cooked for a longer time at a low temperature have finer flavor and are more wholesome than if cooked on a stove at, a higher temperature. Comfort, it saves working in a hot kitchen, keeping up fires, watching food. Saves fuel; fire kept up just long enough to make food boiling hot be fore putting in cooker. In summer, the use of a fireless cooker with a kerosine stove will re sult in both comfort and economy. The fireless cooker is best suited for foods which require boiling, steaming or long slow cooking in a moist heat. The classes of foods best adapted to the cooker are cereals, soups, meats, vegetables, dried fruits, steamed breads and puddings. Foods may be kept warm in the fireless cooker, also substances may be kept cold in one. Every thrifty housewife should pos sess and use a fireless cooker, as it lessens work and care in cooking, pre vents burning and scorching, and saves fuel. One may be made satisfactorily at home with little expense. LELA M. DICKSON, Co. Home Dem. Agt. HONOR ROLL FOR BROOKS HIGH SCHOOL. Brooks, Ga., April 29, 1919.

His front legs hang by his side, and he uses only his webbed hind feet for purposes of swimming. It is easy to capture one in a canoe if you can find Kim In shallow water. He Is a most determined fighter, but clumsy and easy to handle. If he could get hold of you with his teeth he would al most take a leg off, so you need to watch him sharply. The way to seize him is by the tail. Our farmers are very busy now planting their crops. The late spring and continued cool spells have caused all to be late.

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 until you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. BANK OF FAYETTEVILLE. 1 Service In Hardwari What makes the price cost the customer what he is willing or compelled to pay? SERVICE.
