' 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.” I 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 NO. 5709 REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF The National Bank of Jackson At Jackson, in the State of Georgia, At the Close of Business Dec. 31, 1914.

McKibben, Directors. tfg&tlNa CEREALS IN 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.

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 her hallowed influence bliarhtgd There Is But One 4 Well everything is right side up again, “The other fellow” is handling Coca Cola, because he knows there is “noth ing as good. ’ ’ Every body handles it because everybody drinks it. Drink a bottle. Get rid of the grouch. Mr. Asa G. Candler has well sugges ted it is time to quit talking hard times, and do something. He generously started the move to advance money on cotton, and all the banks are following. So get a bottle of Coca Cola, and put on a smile. Be sure you get the genuine.

American chivalry should never permit her to bear the bur dens of defending and maintain ing government, but should pre serve her unsullied from the al lied influences of politic-, and protect her from the weighty re sponsibilities of the sordid affairs of life that will crush her ideals and lower her standards. The motherhood of the farm ig our inspiration, she is the guardian of our domestic welfare and a guide to a higher life, but direct ing the affairs of government is not within woman's sphere, and political gossip would cause her to neglect the home, forget to mend our clothes and burn the biscuits.
