SHALLOW CULTIVATION
HOW IT HOLDS MOISTURE
A READER writes: “The farm
papers, county agents, etc., are al
ways telling the farmers to culti
vate shallow, hut not many people
understand why. Why does a
light, loose, well-stirred surface
hold the moisture underneath it
Wtetter than a hard crust? It
would he very helpful if you
could explain this rather fully us
ing some diagrams if you have
them”.
Soils differ in their capacity to
retain moisture. A firm seed bed
establishes the capillary rise of
moisture. Then the capillary at
traction causes the moisture to
rise and if undisturbed it nil pass
to the surface and evaporate.
But by keeping a shallow blanket
of loose soil on the surface it
breakes the capillary tubes, stops
the evaporation and thus keeps
the moisture where it is needed.
A mulch on the surface will an
swer the same purpose, but the
soil mulch is the easiest to make
and the running of the cultivator
in dry weather prevents evapor
ation and holds the moisture in
reach of the plant roots.

ASK FOR JOINT DISCUSSION.
Lawrenceville, Ga., Aug. 3, 1920.
Hon. Tims. M. Bell,
Lawrenceville, Ga.
Dear Mr. Bell:
In the speeches l am making ov
er the district, I am making an
attack on your record, and especial
ly your record of the last three
years. I charge you with voting in
favor of laws that violate the fun
damental principles of democracy.
I do not want to make any
charge against your record that
l would not make to your face. 1
therefore, challenge you to meet
me in joint debate where you will
have free rein to deny or justify
any charge that I make against
you, and where I will have the op
portunity of defending 'my own
position.
The necessary arrangements can
he made through a committee of
our friends, and if you think best
we could begin the series at Gaines
ville.
•So far as I am concerned, I de
sire to discuss the issues of the
campaign solely, and there is no
reason why we should not confine
the debate to them and refrain
from all personalitites.
Yours truly.
jik-gr JOHN I. KELLEY.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
VOTERS OF THE 27 SEN. DIST.
Previous engagements make it
impossible for me to make a thor
ough canvass of the District, so I
take this method of informing the
voters of my position on SOME of
the most vital issues confronting
the people of the State.
It’s a day when men should de
mand of a candidate a candid an
swer as to how he stands on these
important questions.
Georgia is being ruled by an iron
hand and the masses are being rob
bed of their rights by a class of po
litical bosses, who are perfectly
willing to see our grand old state
go to the political Junk heap just
so they can hold the reins and
drive the team.
I am opposed to the majority be
ing controlled by a minority. 1
am opposed to being bossed by Au
tocrats and Political time servers.
1 am opposed to mixing with other
people’s quarrels and furnishing
men, money and machinery to light
their wars.
I am opposed to Roman rule with
with all its damnable teachings
I favor free speech, free press,
free assembly, a free ballot and a
fair count.
1 favor simplifying the laws so
the common people can understand
them.
The public school system should
be improved by cheaper tex:
books (furnished by the State)
and better pay for the teachers.
Confederate soldiers and their
widows should he better paid, as
they grow older their demands are
greater.
Cut out favoritism, all unneces
sary expenses and make it possi
ble to reduce taxes.
Labor is the engine that moves
every wheel of industry and
should have a square deal and the
laws should be so amended as to
assure their demands.
The above are my views touch
ing some of the matters 1 deem im-
port ant.
1 stand open to answer any
question by the voters of the dis
trict.
One who will not reduce his po
sition on public matters to print
ing can he depended upon to
dodge if attacked personally. De
mand a public statement from ev
ery candidate. You are entitled
to it.
Our liberties are being out-lawed
and it is no time to play with
“dummies.”
Heal men, men of conviction arc
needed as never before. It's a<*t

now or not at all.

make this race. If you believe
with me vote for me. It’s your
fight. 1 promise a faithful service.

Los Vugles passed its ancient
rival San Francisco in the last
10 years and expects to increase
the lead because of the acquisi
tion of the new $20,000,000 tire
factory of The Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company.

Relief for Torpid Livers
and Habitual Constipation
The liver is the largest and most im
portant organ in the body, and when the
liver refuses to act, it causes constipa
tion, biliousness, headaches, indigestion,
gas. sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and under shoul
der blades and under ribs on right side.
These symptoms lead to colds, influenza
Or other serious troubles unless corrected
immediately.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which overtaxes
them and causes the blood to absorb and
carry Into the system the impurities that
the liver and kidneys have failed to elim
inate.
When you treat the liver alone, you
treat only a third of your trouble, and
that is why you have to take purgatives
every few nights. Calomel or other or
dinary laxatives do not go far enough.
If you would treat your kidneys and blood
while treating the liver, you would put
your entire system in order and frequent
purgatives would then be unnecessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years ago
recognized these important facts, and after much study and research, com
pounded what is now known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Liver, Kidney and Blood Pow
ders, three medicines combined in one. This was the Doctor’s favorite pre
scription for many years, being used by-his patients with marked success. It
is a harmless vegetable remedy that will not make you sick, anil you may eat
anything you like while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your druggist or dealer for 23 cents, under his
personal guarantee that it will give relief, tone up the liver, stimulate the
kidneys to healthy action and thereby purify the blood. Keep it in the home
for ready use whenever any member of the family begins to feel "out of sorts."
It will prove a household friend and a valuable remedy.

Rev. W. M. Ooile, pastor.
Mr. Faust is a favorite with this
church. This makes the second

years ago.
It was a distnitc tribute to his
abilities and knowledge of the is
land through long service with
Goodyear.
Avoid disappointment with tires made to be
sold at sensationally cheap prices by using
Goodyear Tires built to deliver maximum
\ mileage at minimum cost.
The high relative value built into Goodyear
Tires, of the 30 x 3-, 30 x 3 1 /2'> an d 31 x 4-inch
I uAJf* sizes, results from the application of Goodyear
rOOr Mm experience and care to their manufacture in
f/yO Ifllij world’s largest tire tactory devoted to
these sizes.
mv/Ov I Such facts explain why more cars, using these
y\/\/ I sizes, were factory-equipped last year with
