TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLIN6
Save Your Hair! Get a 25c
Bottle of Danderine Right
Now—Also Stops Itch
ing Scalp.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scrag
gy hair is mute evidence of a neg
lected scalp; of dandruff—that
awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive
to the hair as dandruff. It robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength
and its very life; eventually pro
ducing a feverishness and itching
of the scalp, which if not reme
died causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die—then the
hair falls out fast. A little Dan
derine tonight—now—any time
will surely save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowl
ton’s Danderine from any drug
store. You surely can have beau
tiful hair and lots of it if you just
try a little Danderine. Save your
hair! Try it! ad

MUI6 WORLD'S
GREATEST PROBLEM
WE ARE LONG ON PRODUC
TION, SHORT ON DISTRI
BUTION.
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Karmen' Ontoa
The economic distribution of
arm products is today the world's
greatest problem and the war,
while it has brought its hardships,
has clearly emphasized the im
portance of distribution as a fact
or in American agriculture arid
promises to give the farmers the
co-operation of the government
and the business meri the solution
oi their marketing problem.
This result will, in a measure,
compensate us for our war losses,
for the business interests and
government have been in the
main assisting almost exclusively
on the production side of agricul
ture. While the department of
agriculture has been dumping
tons of literature on the farmer
telling him how to produce, the
farmer has been dumping tons of
products in the nations garbage
can for want of a market.
The World Will Never Starve.
At no time since Adam and
Eve were driven from the Garden
of Eden have the inhabitants of
this world suffered from lack of
production, but some people have
gone hungry from the day of cre
ation to this good hour for the
lack of proper distribution. Slight
variations in production have
forced a change in diet and one
locality has felt the pinch of want
while another surfeited, but the
world as a whole has ever been
a land of plenty.
We now have less than one
tenth of the tillable land of the
earth’s surface under cultivation,
and we not only have this sur
plus area to draw on but it is safe
to estimate that in case of dire ne
cessity one-half the earth's popu
lation could knock their living out
of the trees of the forests, gather
it from wild vines and draw it
from streams. No one should be
come alarmed; the world will
never starve.
The consumer has always feared
that the producer would not sup
ply him and his fright has found
expression on the statute books
of our states and nations, and the
farmer has been urged to produce
recklessly and without reference
to a market, and regardless of the
drtr.znds of the consume*.
Back to the Soil.
The city people have been urg
ing each other to move back to
the farm, but very few of them
have moved. We welcome our
city couaine back to the soil and
thia earth’s surface contains 16,-
092,160,000 idle acres of tillable
land where they can make a liv
ing by tickling the earth with a
forked stiolc, but we do not need
them so far as increasing produc
tion is concerned. The city man
has very erroneous ideas of agri
cultural conditions. The common
ly accepted theory that we are
short on production is all wrong.
Our annual increase in produc
tion far exceeds that of our in
creaae in population.
The World aa a Farm.
Taking the world as one big
farm, we find two billion acres of
land in cultivation. Of this amount
there is approximately 750,000,000
acres on the western and 1,260,-
000,000 acres on the eastern hem
isphere, in cultivation. This esti
mate does not include grazing
lands, forests, etc., where large
quantities of meat are produced.
The world’s annual crop ap
proximates fifteen billion bushels
of cereals, thirteen billion pounds
of fibre and sixty-five million
tons of meat.
The world show's an average
increase in cereal production of
13 per cent during the past de
cade, compared with the previous
five years, while the world’s pop
ulation shows aa increase of only
3 per cent.
The gain in production far ex
ceeds that of our increase in pop
ulation. and it is safe to estimate
that the farmer can easily in
crease production 25 per cent if a
remunerative market can be
found for the product*.

NEW RAILROAD
FOR JACKSON
IS THE OCILUSOUTHERN
Mr. Henderson Gives City
Assurance
In an interview Mr. J. A. J.
Henderson, president of the Ocil
la Southern Railway, states that
the road will be built from Macon
to Atlanta through Forsyth, In
dian Springs and Jackson.
Work is already in progress on
the line between Ocilla and Ma
con, it is given out. The road
will be built into Macon at the
earliest possible moment and then
the extension to Atlanta through
Jackson will be started.
There is the keenest sort of in
terest in this railroad on the part
of the people of Butts county and
every inducement will be offered
the officials of the company to
secure this new railroad.
A Puzzler.
Avery curious number is 142,857,
which, multiplied by 1,2, 3, 4. sor 6,
gives the same figures in the same or
der, beginning at a different point, but
if multiplied by 7 gives all nines.
142.857 multiplied by 1 equals 142,-
857.
142.857 multiplied by 2 equals 281 -
-714.
142.857 multiplied by 3 equals 428,-
571.
142*67 multiplied by 4 equals 571,-
428.
142.557 multiplied by 5 equals 714,-
'285.
142.857 multiplied by 6 equals 857,-
142.
142.857 multiplied by 7 equals 999.-
999.
Multiply 142.857 by 8 and you bare
1,142,856. Then add the first figure to
the last and you have 142,857, the orig
inal number, with figures exactly the
same as the start
icing ror Lane.
When in a hurry for your cake, make
the icing this way: To the white of
an unbeaten egg add one and a quar :
ter cupfuls of pulverized sugar and stir
nntil smooth, and add three drops of
rosewater, ten of vanilla and the Juice
of half a lemon. This icing will at
once become very white and will hard
en in five or six minutes.
