FERTILIZER
Had you ever realized that our INTERESTS were mutual? If there ever was a
time when we should make two ears of corn or two pounds of cotton grow where
only one grew before, it is NOW.
Labor is high and scarce. “Our Motto" should be —
MORE Fertilizer—And a BETTER GRADE of Fertilizer
rlt’s cheaper than labor. In fact, cheaper than anything on the market today.
We have plenty POTASH and this may be the year to use a complete goods. It is
all right to Hooverize at our tables —but we ought to feed the plant a complete ration.
We hope you will be able to get your Nitrate from the government, but if not we
are going to try to furnish you a part of your requirements. We started about eight
months ahead of the government, but we haven’t got enough to supply our customers
as yet.
The trade does not understand or appreciate the difficulties which the manufactur
ers have to contend with now—shortage of cars, labor, etc., and unless you co-operate
with us, both of us are going to be the losers.

NEW ARMY RIFLE SHOWS IM
PROVENT OVER OTHER MODELS
The United Stattes rifle, model of
1917, commonly called the modified
Enfield, has now been tested in the
service of the ai..iy a sufficient time
to warrant the assertion that it more
than justifies the claims made for it,
according to a statement authorized
by the secretary of war.
The new rifle takes a .30-caliber
cartridge, which has the advantage
over the British Enfield of being rim
less. It has been found that unless
rim cartridges are fed through the
magazine uniformly with the rim of
the top cartridge ahead of the rim of
the one immediately below, jams are
likely to occur.
The model f 1917 has an over-all.

A CHILD HATES OIL,
CALOMEL, PILLS FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS
Give “California Syrup of
Figs” if Cross, Sick, Fever
ish, Constipated
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the “dose” mother insist
ed on—castor oil, calomel, cathart
ics. How you hated them, how you
fought against taking them.
With our children it’s different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don’t realize what they
do. The children’s revolt is well-foun
ded. Their tender little “insides” are
injured by them.
If your child’s stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only de
licious “California Syrup of Figs.”
Its action is positive, but gentle. Mil
lions of mothers keep this harmless
“fruit laxative” handy; they know
children love to take it; that it never
fails to clean the liver and bowels and
sweeten the stomach, and that a tea
spoonful given today saves a sick
child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a
bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,”
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown
ups plainly on each bottle. Beware
of counterfeits sold here. See that it
is made by “California Fig Syrup
Company.” Refuse any other kind
with contempt, advt.

JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS
WHERE RATS ARE PROTECTED
In Copper Mines of Michigan Rodents
Are Regarded as Preventors, Not
Carriers, of Disease.
There are few places in the world
where rats are well thought of, but in
the copper mines of Michigan there ro
dents, so universally despised, and
causing so much danger to health and
damage to property everywhere else,
are regarded differently. In the shafts
of the copper mines hundreds of feet
below the surface dwells a species of
rat that never sees the light of day
and is held In high appreciation hy
the miners. It is because these under
ground rodents are valuable to sanita
tion, preventers rather than carriers
of disease. They indulge In no depre
dations for the reason they exist with
in rockbound walls inclosing nothing
possible for animals such es they de
stroy.
The rats are the scavengers of the
mines. They keep the workings clear
of refuse. They are protected by the
men; are often fed from dinner pails
and have become so accustomed to
the miners that they frisk about the
workers wholly unafraid, secure in the
apparent realization that, while else
where they are hunted and slain as
enemies of mankind, underground they
are treated as allies and are immune
from harm.
Wives as Wage Earners.
More than one-tenth of the married
women of the United States were en
gaged In gainful occupations In 1010,
according to figures recently given out
by the bureau of the census, and over
25 per cent of all women sixteen
years old or over were wage earners,
business women, etc. Since 1910 the
per centages undoubtedly have in
creased rather than diminished, for
the tendency of women in this coun
try has been toward greater economic
freedom for many years. In 1900 the
number of married women in gainful
occupations was only 769,000, while in
1910 it was 1,890,000, says Popular Me
chanics. The statistics referred to
show that the proportion of women—
married, single and widowed —who are
earning their living is greater than
ever before, but it Is particularly in
teresting to find that of nil the groups
cited, the proportionate Increase in
the number of married women Is the
greatest.

JUDGE C. L. BARTLETT WAS
JACKSON VISITOR THIS WEEK
Former Congressman Looked Upon as
Probable Candidate
Hon. C. L. Bartlett, of Macon, was
a distinguished visitor to Jackson
Monday and was warmly greeted by
his many friends. Nopoliticalsignifi
cance was attached to his visit,
though Judge Bartlett admitted that
he had been urged to run for he Unit
ed States senate and also for congress
from the sixth district. Many people
have spoken to him about the matter,
he said, but he has not yet formulated
his plans. Judge Bartlett has many
friends in Butts county, who are al
ways g lad to see him.
Hunter's Moon.
The hunters’ moon is waning, but
there has been very little service for
it during the month, except for lovers,
says the Columbus (O.) State Journal.
The game question Is pretty near
solved. It Is so different from the old
days, when a man could take his shot
gun and go out to the woods and bring
in a bag of squirrels and birds in a few
hours —enough for the family and a
neighbor or two. Then he asked no
favors of the moon. The game was
plenty and the days were long in the
good old time. In those days we had
pigeon pie and squirrel pie and we
didn’t want the moon to put itself out
of the way on our account. In these
days the hunters’ moon is a beautiful
sentiment, but it makes no pie. How
shy she was last week, when coquet
ing with Jupiter for an evening or two,
and then slipped off to the east and re
fused to return.
The Footwear of Our Daddies.
In these days, when shoes cost $1 or
more an inch, measured up from the
heel, the recollections of a Callaway
county pioneer really are painful. In
a letter to the Missouri Telegraph he
tells what a simple matter buying
shoes once was. Those who wanted
shoes lined up with their heels against
a wall und the head of the household,
armed with a bunch of twigs, took
the measurement of each. The twigs
were tuken to a merchant, who fitted
the shoo by putting the broken stick
inside it. One farmer objected to pay
ing $14.87 for ten pairs of shoes, so
he bought leather and hired a shoe
maker to make them at a grand total
of $9.15. —Kansas City Times.
