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.

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.” How Nations of Earth Rank In Productions Here Is a list of 26 of the world’s most useful and valuable commodities, showing what country leads and what country ranks second in producing them: Leading Second Commodity Country Country Wheat . . .
