The attempted robbery was not dis covered until next morning when the bank was opened for business. A rain fell in the early hours of the morning anil it was impossible to find any trace of the intruders It is generally believed that the work was done by amateurs.

WOULD HAVE STORES CLOSE TO PROVIDE GARDENS Suggeition Is Made That Clerks Have Two Half Holidays A suggestion made by the state college of agriculture that the stores in towns of five thousand and less close two half days each week to give the clerks an opportunity to work in gardens, will be of interest here. As outlined the plan would provide that the stores be closed two half days each week (preferably Tuesday and Thursday mornings) to allow the mer chants and employees to prepare and cultivate their gardens, the fact being evident that with the scarcity and high prices of labor around towms of that size it is almost impossible for many families who desire home gar dens to have them.

Heard, Jenkinsburg, Ga. If a farmer would stop to think a minute about how he is going to plant his next crop he would think of some of the needs of our country and he would help Uncle Sam, while he is in great need for food and every far mer would go fifty-fifty with his next crop. Uncle Sam does not only want us ta raise enugh food for ourselves but he wants us to raise enough so we can feed the Allies, for if they are starved out that means the end of the war and peace on German basis and that would mean four years of a hard struggle for nothing. Let us all co operate and help Uncle Sam in the time of distress and keep Germany from crushing all Europe, as well as impeding the progress of the United States.
