Avoid Its Dangerous Stage.
There is a more serious stage of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
by the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and spitting and other
distasteful features.
The real danger comes from the
tendency of the disease to continue
its course downward until the lungs
become affected, and then dreaded
consumption is on your path. Your
own experience has taught you that
the disease cannot be cured by

JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS
FARMERS’ RIGHTS
STAKED IN WAR
“Freedom Of Seas” Will Keep Europ
ean Markets Open To Ameri
can Producers
Southern farmers have as much at
stake in this war as any other Ameri
cans.—lt is their war.
We are fighting for the “freedom
of the seas” —the farmers’ right to sell
cotton, corn, wheat, rice, etc., abroad.
The determination of the United
Statgs to send supplies and rood to the
Allies sent the price of cotton to 30
cents and above, and put the price of
food crop up to the highest figure in
fifty years.
If the Allies win this war American
farmers always can find a ready mar
ket in Europe for their products. Thou
sands of ships arc being built to send
the crops abroad after the war. But
we must win to do it. . Germany plans
to invade this country just as it over
ran Belgium. Evidence in the hands
of government officials proves this
statement. Southern farmers are en
joying the benefit of their crops now,
but if Germany invades this country
their wives and daughters will be
forced to raise crops for Germany
just as Belgian’ and French women
and children are forced in the fields
to feed the German army. Their land
will be devastated just as Belgian
farms have been —their land then will
be used to feed Germany and their
crops will bring them nothing.
Farmers Depended Upon
The government always has depend
ed upon the Southern farmer to do
his duty, whether to raise more food,
fight or finance. They have been ex
empted from fighting thus far to en
able them to raise more food, and
they have received the highest prices
for their products. Now the govern
ment wants the farmer to help finance
the war. It is just as much his duty
to help finance the war as it is to raise
food.
The third Liberty Loan will soon be
floated. It is the farmer’s duty to In
vest as much money as they can in
these United States government
bonds. There is nothing hard to un
derstand about a United States gov
ernment bond. You merely subscribe
through your banker and the govern
ment pays you interest on the invest
ment, giving you the wealth of the
whole country as security. Liberty
bonds are as sound as a dollar.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE
I hereby announce myself a candi
date for representative from Butts
county, subject to the action of the
Democratic primary. The support
and votes of my fellow-citizens will
be appreciated, and if elected I
pledge myself to represent all inter
ests of the county to the best of my
ability.
This March 11, 1918.

Hogs Sold Above Market At Cairo
Sale.
The first co-operative livestock sale
was held at Cairo in Grady county on
November 27, and in every way this
sale was a success. The hogs market
ed brought from one-half to one cent
more per pound than local buyers had
been able to give. Within a short
time there will be a regular circuit
worked out embracing the leading hog
producing sections of south Georgia.
For some time the agriculturists
connected with the railroads, the State
College of Agriculture, the United
States Department, the Southern Bell
Telephone Company and other organi
zations have made a study of the
plans for selling livestock co-operaive
plans for selling livestock co-operative-
Georgia is rapidly developing into
one of the leading livestock states of
the country, it is realized by those
who are keeping abreast of the devel
opment that adequate facilities must
be provided for the handling of the
rapidly increase volume of livestock
on the markets.
To form a marketing association a
meeting is called, plans are explained
and officers elected. Such a constitu.
tion and by-laws as to fix responsibil
ity of organization are drawn up. Usu
ally the board of directors elects a
sales manager, who arranges for sales
days, engages the services of a com
petent grader and does the account
ing. The sales manager is usually
bonded for a sum sufficient t.o cover
any losses that might ocelli' through
improper conduct of the sale.
Wherever possible it is desirable
that several local organizations be
formed in a section and, when this is
practicable, their constitution and by
laws should be practically the same ex
cept for minor changes to meet local
conditions. It has been found that
many advantages are enjoyed by
groups of associations when buyers
representing the best markets are in
dueed to attend sales on consecutive
dates held by local associations.
A membership fee is usually charg
ed to defray incidental expenses and
pay for material used in construction
of pens. One dollar a year is the
amount usually charged by most local
associations. Each member in good
standing has the right to vote in all
meetings.
Standard scales are provided and
In some cases scales are furnished by
the town and a bonded weigher is em
ployed to weigh. A fee of 10c per
weigh is usually charged. Sale dates
are fixed in some cases once a month,
or oftener, as may be necessary to
meet the requirements of each local
association.
The sales manager arranges with
buyers to be present, notifies farmers
and determines in advance as nearly
as possible the number of hogs that
will be sold on the sale day. He ar
ranges for cars to handle hogs and
prepares pens, etc., for receiving them.
Hogs are unloaded into the receiv
ing pens and graded according to size
and finish. Each grade is weighed sep
arately and those who place hogs in
the sale are credited with the number
and weight of their hogs according to
grade.—M. C. Gay, Field Agent in
Marketing, State College of Agricul

WHALER’S GLORY HAS GONE
Industry Which Was Once the Great
est In America Has Been Declin
ing for Fifty Years.
At the outbreak of the American
Revolution und for a period of 75
years following, whaling was the most
lmportunt branch of American fisher
ies. From 500 to 700 vessels sought
whales In all the oceans and seas of
the world, and in one year New Bed
ford alone sent out 300 vessels whose
cargoes of bone and oil were the
basis of the Industrial life of the city.
The pursuit of sperm whales reached
Its climax In 1837, when oil valued at
nearly $4,500,000 was brought in,
mostly from the south Pacific, suys the
National Geographic Magazine. The
height of the Industry was In 1840,
when 70,000 persons derived their sup
port from whales, and 720 vessels,
valued at $21,000,000, were engaged.
For more than 50 years the fishery
has been declining, and in numerous
ports that once derived most of their
w'ealth from the industry there have
for a long time existed only memories
of former greatness. The present Im
portance of the whale fishery amounts
to less than 2 per cent of the American
fisheries.
April 6 will markt he anniversary
of the declaration of war with Ger-,
many. It has been a year of prepara
tion. It is about time for Uncle Sam
to start somethin.
