ANCIENTNESS.
The oldest thing that there can be,
Is year-before-last’s motorcar—
Yea, you can take the word from me.
Those are the oldest things there are I
The pyramids that dot the sand
There In the Sphinx’s neighborhood.
Are still so new they wear their brand,
Compared with this, ’tls understood.
Just ask an agent, who would sell
A next-year’s model bright and new,
And he will either hint or tell
That what I’ve stated here Is true.
To thresh your wheat or oats with flail*
Is no less ancient than to strive
Along the Dixle-Llncoln trails
In something with a right-hand drive.

To Our Friends-
Owing to the continued increase in oper
ating expenses due to the advancing prices
of labor and material and high interest
rates and taxes, the Georgia Railway and
Power Company has been forced, reluctant
ly, to apply to the Railroad Commission of
Georgia for authority to increase its rates
and fares. The commission has assigned the
application for hearing at Atlanta, Ga., on
June Bth, 1920.
The Company is now in its constructive era and its program provides
for the construction of additional dams, building new transmission lines,
and modernizing and restoring existing lines, and for these purposes
must secure new capital, which cannot be done unless its earnings are
such as will insure the people from whom we must obtain financial as
sistance that their investment will be safe.
It would be impossible to encourage investors to put their money into
extensions and improvements unless we can assure them of a fair rate of
interest, which cannot be done at the present rates, and as the public
will be benefiited by the additional facilities which will attract new in
dustries, their completion at the earliest possible moment is to the public
interest.
We are building for a greater North Georgia, investing millions with
a faith in the fairness of the people of our State, and delieving that their
progress will keep pace with our constructive plans until North Georgia
will occupy a commanding position in the manufacturing world.
If the present efforts to extend and enlarge the Company’s facilities are
retarded, the development of the Northern part of Gorgia will be de
layed.
Believing that its interests are best served by serving the public to
the limit of its ability, and that it was its patriotic duty to help feolve
the economic problems created by the war, the Georgia Railway and
Power Company disregarding cost, continued its construction work din
ing the war period so as to meet the extraordinary demands unexpectedly
forced upon it by the shortage and high prices of coal.
We feel that your own experience will convince you of the necessity
of increased compensation to the Company for its service during these
abnormal times, and trust we will have your friendly co-operation in ob
taining it, and would appreciate an expression of the views of the reader
of this publication, by mail, addressed to the
Georgia Railway
and Power Company
Atlanta, Georgia.

Without Hard Work-
Do you still find that making
& cultivator do the right kind of
■work is a tiresome, tedious job?
Wouldn’t you be interested
in a cultivator that puts thor
oughness into cultivation and takes the
hard work out ?
That is just what the use
of our John Deere “K C” cul
tivator assures.
The “K C’s” rigs, in shifting,
stay parallel. Its shovels always
face squarely to their work. They
never track or trail on crooked rows.
No uncultivated spots nor no deep
trenches are left. Over all the field,
on crooked rows, as well as on straight
tows, the “K C” gives thorough cul
tivation —• the kind that most effec
tively destroys weeds and conserves
moisture.
You can get the “K C” with the famous John Deere
Method Equipment-slip-point hoof shovels and sweeps. jf

The rigs shift quickly in
response to slight pressure on
the foot levers. Guiding the rigs is as
natural as walking.
You can maintain thorough
cultivation without delaying
work to make adjustments. No wrench
work is necessary. You don’t have to
leave the seat. Simply use the handy
levers. These levers enable you to
meet quickly and accurately every
field condition.
We want you to get into the
seat of this cultivator and see
for yourself bow handy and reliable
it is. We’ve never seen its equal
among single-row cultivators for time
saving;, labor-saving, weed-destroying
work in the field.
Don’t fail to come in early
and get acquainted with this cultivator.
