' PAY UP—DO IT NOW
With our fishing pole and tackle, catch such mighty whales
Just to speak oi their dimensions will sound like “fishy tales.”
And the corn will soon be waving, ten feet above the soil,
With the beets and taters digging, like a miner hunting oil.
Great clusters of tomatoes will soon be blushing in the sun,
And the tender, yellow legged chickens be ripening one by one.
Again we’ll greet and weloome the Umpire’s husky call,
“Batteries for the home team,” “stre-ike” and “play baw’ll.”

Then as Spring melts into Summer we shall see ’em trim and sweet
In their pretty little “peek-a-boos” going up and down the street.
Now' just a word or two in closing, in w'hich we wish to say
Prosperity and happiness are with us now' to stay.
So smile, and keep on smiling, and don’t let your spirits down,
But keep hustling, and talking up this great and growing town.
Now the last thing we will mention, is the glad and joyful news,
The New Year now is wfith us and it is time to pay your dues. —Ex

SOUTH GEORGIA
Jofin R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy/
Georgia State College of Agr.
On account of the widely different
soil and climatic conditions in north
and south Georgia, the Collage has
been fortunate in getting the assist
ance and co-operation of the cereal
department of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, in carrying
on experimental work on two ten-acre
plats in south Georgia, one being lo
cated in Brooks and the other in Tur
ner county.
On these two tracts tests will be
made of different varieties of wheat,
barley, oats and rye. Among the va
rieties of wheat being tried is the
Philippine wheat, recommended high
ly for trial under conditions existing
in southern United States.
COLLEGE BULL'S
ANCESTRAL RECORD
Milton P. Jarnagln, Professor of Ani
mal Husbandry, Georgia State
College of Agriculture
Sada’s lap, a Jersey bull owned at
the Georgia State College farm, has
the distinction of being the grand
son of the two imported bulls holding
first and second record fbr offsprings
having register of merit. Interested
Princj*, the bolder of ttrat honors, is
sire of Interested Sada’s Queen, the
mother of the bull in question. On the
paternal side the bull was sired by
Jap, who bolds the second place for
records of register of merit. To at
tain register of merit a Jersey cow
must have produced at least 500
pounds of butter fat In a year.
It will thus be seen that Georgia
has been fortunate In getting some
of its foundation dairy stock.
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try It! Hair Gets
Soft, Fluffy, and Beauti
ful—Get a 25 Cent Bottle
of Danderine.
If you care for heavy hair that
glistens with beauty and is radi
ant with life; has an incompara
ble softness and is fluffy and
lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles
the beauty of your hair, besides
it immediately dissolves every
particle of dandruff. You can
not have nice heavy, healthy hair
if you have dandruff. This de
structive scurf robs the hair of
its lustre, its strength and its
very life, and if not overcome it
produces a feverishness and itch
ing of the scalp; the hair roots
famish, loosen and die; then the
hair falls out fast. Surely get a
25-cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store
and just try it. adv.

Lecturer National Farmer*' Union.
The farmer gets more out o!
the fair than anyone else. The
fair to a city man is an entertain
ment ; to a farmer it is education.
Let us take a stroll through the
fair grounds and linger a mo
ment at a few of the points of
greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department
and hold communion with the
world’s greatest thinkers.
You are now attending a con
gress of the mental giants in me
chanical science of all ages. They
are addressing you in tongues of
iron and steel and in language
mute and powerful tell an elo
quent story of the world’s prog
ress. The inventive geniuses are
the most valuable farm hands we
have and they perform an en
during service to mankind. We
can all help others for a brief
period while we live, but it takes
a master mind to tower into the
realm of science and light a torch
of progress that will illuminate
the pathway of civilization for
future generations. The men who
gave us the sickle, the binder,
the cotton gin and hundreds of
other valuable inventions work
in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as
time. Their bright intellects have
conquered death and they will live
and serve mankind on and on
forever, without money and
without price. They have shown
us how grand and noble it is to
work for others; they have also
taught us lessons m economy and
efficiency, how to make one hour
do the work of two or more;
have lengthened our lives, multi
plied our opportunities and taken
toil off the back of humanity.
They are the most practical
men the world ever produced.
Their inventions have stood the
acid test of utility and efficiency.
Like all useful men, they do not
seek publicity, yet millions of
machines sing their praises from
every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in
mute applause of their marvelous
achievements.
FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
The home is the greatest contri
bution of women to the world,
and the hearthstone is her throne.
Our social structure is built
around her, and social righteous
ness is in her charge. Her beau
tiful life lights the skies of hope
and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization.
Her graces and her power are
the cumulative products of gen
erations of queenly conquest, and
her crown of exalted womanhood
is jeweled with the wisdom of
saintly mothers. She has been
a great factor in the glory of our
country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or
