FROM STATE DEPART MENT AGRICULTURE Atlanta, January 15 —(Special) Upon his return from South Geor gia, President J. J. Brown of the Cotton States Marketing Board, which is to hold an important meet ing in New Orleans on January 13- 35, deprecated the disposition shown in a few sections to follow the usual custom of selling cotton the first of the year, regardless of the mark et. “It is sincerely to be hoped that producers and others who have cot ton, will not let the custom of wind ing up their year’s business, inter fen 1 with the cotton holding move ment inaugurated by the bureau, and which now promises such splendid success. “Every indication now points to the fact that in the very near fu ture, buyers both from home and abroad will be in the market for the supplies of raw cotton which they must have. They have already acknowledged the existence of the cotton shortage; and we confidently believe if the holders will properly house their cotton and insure it, where possible, it is only a question of a short time when it will bring above 35 cents a pound. “The coming meeting of the marketing board, January 13-15, will arrange for a propaganda for the curtailment of cotton acreage over the entire South, of at least 25 per cent, and the planting of food and feed products instead. The board further proposes to devise ways and means for holding in definitely 25 per cent of the cot ton now on hand. “Every well informed man knows that the suggestion from some of the non-cotton producing states, that the South is making tremen dous profits at present prices, is false. There is no material profit to the farmer in the present crop below 35 cents. “The letters we are receiving from every cotton state are unani mous in their approval of the pro posal to curtail the cotton acreage this year. Especially, in view of the demand for food products, do they feel this would In* wise; and they point out that it would clear ly show to those who are inclined to think the South is ‘profiteering,’ that we are not anxious to produce cotton at the prevailing prices.” Rural Carrier Examination The United States Civil Service Com mission has announced an examination for the County of Barrow, Ga., to be held at Monroe on Feb. 8, 1919, to fill the posi tion of rural carrier at Winder and vacan cies that may later occur on rural routes trom other post offices in the above-men tioned county. The examination will b open only to male citizens who are actu ally domiciled In the territory of a post of fice in the county and who meet the oth er requirements set forth in Form No 1977. This form and application blanks may be obtained feom the offices men tioned above or from the Umited States Civil Service Commission at Washington, D. C. Applications should be forwarded to the Commission at Washington at the earliest practicable date. Blunders. * We are all given to making mis takes. No one is wlso enough to bs always right. But the person who makes the some mistake twice has hi* feet set straight for the goal of talk lire. If you are called down for mak ing a blunder don’t get mad or dis couraged. Just make up your mind then and there that you’ll not make It again. Fix It well in your mind; rise It as a lesson and an inspiration. It's a perfectly good stepp!ng-.;toue, and ought not to l>e employed as a millstone to hang around your neck. Keeping Warm in Finland. In many ways the Finns are a very queer people. It Is during the terrible cold months that the Finns revel In the mighty ovens that till one corner of every kltehen rind often loom up large and vastly impressive In the oth er rooms of a Finn home as well. The tops of these monster stoves are per fectly flat, and steps lead up on one side. When the weather becomes bit terly cold and bleak, the entire Finnish family will take quilts and pillows and, mounting to the top of the big heat er, spread down their bedding and sleep very comforlnbly and contented ly on the hard hot bricks until morn ing.—Nevia C.

The demands upon the minis try today are heavier than ever before in the history of the Chris tian religion.

And occasionally the preacher is confronted with the problem of the wicked and the law violators, and they must be tact tully led into the kingdom even as Christ said to the dying thief, “This day shalt thou he with me in paradise.” The world and the church and humanity in general is seeking to lay many burdens upon the shoul ders of the minister, if a pastor visits too much he is called a gad about, if he goes to see the sick he is accused of hobnobbing with the plutocracy, if he calls on the poor he is accused of being a politician, simply counting favor, but in all he must know that to solve anyth ing the problem of his life s holy and divine calling he must be neither a foek horse, a gad about, nor a financial agent —Visit, he must, when he can find time to do so, but popularity as a handshaker, and a potent preache, of the eternal word of God are two propositions entirely separate and distinct. The preacher before, during and after the war has had and will have a hard task on him, and only that wisdom and power that cometh down from above will enable him to measure up to his responsibility and perform as lie should his task. Fewer Sea Eagles Seen. That the monarch of the air. the sen ensile, has disappeared from Caith ness, as well as from the Orkneys and The sesi on pie Is not very uncommon In the Fest Highlands, and still builds Its nest on various hills abutting on the cliffy coast. The sites of the nests are on the edge of some large and well stocked sheep farms. The birds have always been accused of killing lambs, ns well ns hares and winged game, but the charge would be difficult to sub stantiate.

SUBSTITUTE FOR n CALOMEL Starts your liver without making you sick and can not salivate. Every druggist in town—your druggist and everybody’s druggist has noticed a great falling-off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone is taking its place. “Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson’6 Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better re sults,” said a prominent local drug gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per sonally guaranteed by every drug gist who sells it. A large bottle costs but a few cents, and if it fails to give easy relief in everv case of liver sluggishness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back. Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wako up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or consti pated bowels. It doesn’t gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel.
