GIRLS! HAVE WAVY,
THICK. GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Save Your Hair! Double its
Beauty in a Few Moments
—Try This!
t
If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiimt
with life; has an incomparable soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, hea
vy, healthy hair if you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength’' and its very
life, and if not overcome it produces
a feverishness and itching of th scalp;
the hair roots famish, loosen and die;
then the hair falls out fast
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or
too oily, get a small bottle of Knowl
ton’s Danderine at any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents; apply,
a little a s directed and ten minutes
after you will say this was the best
investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless
of everything else advertised, that if
you desire soft, lu.itrouSj u j
hair and lots of itj- 0 da n d ruff-no]
itching scale no more falHng
h must use Knowlton's Dan
derine. If eventually—why not now.

GERARD EXPOSURES
$13,500.00 Paid for Startling New
Series
Ambassador James W. Gerard has
been paid $13,500 for his startling
new series of articles, “Face to Face
With Kaiserism,’’ by The Atlanta
Georgian and Sunday American and
five other newspapers connected with
this group.
The Georgian has definitely an
nounced that the first of thes expo
sures will appear in the Sunday
American on Februury 24 and contin
ue daily.
The publication of this series in
The Georgian and American is a
triumph for Southern journalism,
equal to, if not greater than their
presentation of Gerards first series,
“My Four Years in Germany.”
The Hun spy system stretching over
this country is brought to light in
htese exposures. The real extent of
the Kaiser’s propaganda and under
mining work here is not understood
in its entirety by Americans. Gerard
makes the startling statement that
spies are on every street in every
town in this country, and that Ger
man letters and written messages are
reaching our shores almost daily in
spite of the blockade.
“It is the duty of every citizen to
watch carefully for German spies, for
they are everywhere,” says Gerard.
Every American should know the
historical facts revealed in “Face to
Face With Kaiserism,” but to do this
it will be necessary for new
ers to order the On
account o£,r£llJd£d embarggoes and
ine consequent difficulty to secure
white paper from the mills, only the
number of papers actually ordered in
andvace will be printed.
This will be the only announcement
made. The subscription price is 15c a
week, 65c a month, $1.95 for three
mohnts, or one year for $7.50.
If you want to make sure of get
ting the paper regularly, better send
your subscription direct to the At

can, No. 20 East Alabama street, At
lanta, Ga.
Dr. Soule says the South must raise
her usual crop of cotton. We know
that. There is no danger of raising
too much cotton, but it is important
to raise food and feed crops and live
stock, too.

Mass Meeting in
Jackson March 9
The citizens of the county are hereby invited
to be at the court house in the City of Jackson on the
9th day of March at 2 p. m. for the purpose of discuss
ing the food situation, and the duty to ourselves and
to our county in helping to furnish a part of the food
supplies to the other part of the suffering world now
engaged in war. It is the patriotic duty of every loy
al citizen to contribute something to the nations now
fighting our battles. It takes something more than
men and money to win the war. It is necessary for
every tiller of the earth to be willing to contribute his
bit. This is purely a patriotic meeting.
We want all the ladies who are interested in this
movement to be present, including the officers and
members of the several patriotic organizations of the
county. School children and members of the Boys
and Girls Clubs are urged to attend. We also want
the colored farmers to meet with us.
Prominent out of town speakers will address the
meeting. Governor Dorsey has been invited to ad
dress the people on the food situation.
We cannot afford for our boys to leave home to
fight and fight hungry.

FARM PROSPERITY
IS HOME MADE
Ca Be Oootimwd Indefinitely la
Seuth If Partners Do Th#lr Part,
tim/m Hastings
At lanes, Ga. —(Special.)—That tie
preseat ware of “farm prosperity" in
the Strath is “homo made” and can be
continued Indefinitely Is the interest
ing statement made recently by H.
G. Hastings, President of both ths
Southeastern Fair Association and ths
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Mr.
Hastings said: “Unthinking people are
very apt to attribute the present ware
of farm prosperity in the South to the
present high prioe of cotton rather
than to Its real cause."
“Naturally, the high price has helped
a groat deal, but the real reason for
the money being In the farmer’s pock
et or bank is that when the 1917 oot
ton crop was made the farmer owned
it instead of owing it to supply mer
chant at the end of the season, as was
usually the case in times past. Never
before had the farmers of the South
come as close to feeding themselves,
their families and their live stock
from their own acres as in 1917. They
had need of few store purchases and
made few or no debts.”
“If the 1917 crop had been made on
the old basis of plant all cotton and
buy all food at present prices there
would be supply merchant prosperity,
but little or none on the farms.”
“Naturally, the temptation la great
to increase cotton acreage and de
crease food and grain acreage in 19 fB.
FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR
The Jackson Mercantile
Cos., Proprietors of the Star
Store, will not have then
formal spring opening as
usual this spring but will
put on display each day
the new things in Milli
nery, Silks, Dresses, Coats
and new Spring Dress
Goods —as they arrive by
express each day.
The man who does It is foolish. The
whole world is short of food and this
condition will not only continue but
get worse as long as the war lasts.
Continued high prices for food is as cer
tain as sunrise each morning.”
“Real money-ln-hand farm prosper
ity is absolutely dependent on the
growing on one’s own acres of all the
food, meat, grain and forage needed
for home needs. Once that is provid
ed for, every other available acre
can safely be planted in cotton or other
cash crop. The larger part of the cost
of making cotton or other cash crop is
In the food, grain and forage consum
ed in making it.
"These items 'home made' can be
produced at from one-third to one
-1 half the price the merchant charges
and home production of them means
just that much reduction in the cost
of making the cash crop.
, “Farm prosperity in the South can
and will be permanent just as long as
our farmers continue their farm oper
-1 ations on a ‘home made’ basis.”
