It is al most impossible, at the present time, to buy good fresh eggs in Georgia. The reason for this deplorable condi tion is simply because we have been neglecting our chickens. In the past it has been a simple matter to get fresh eggs and good eating chickens at reasonable prices. Therefore, it was cheaper and easier for most per sons to purchase what they wanted. While the demand is constantly in creasing, the supply is growing small er. Many poultrymen have gone out of business because of the high price paid for grain compared with the low price received for eggs. As chickens have brought a good price on the mar ket many farmers simply robbed their own roosts and sold nearly all the stock they had. Mr. Hoover has ask ed you to eat more poultry and save beef and pork for our soldiers. Yet in order to eat more we must raise more. It is the patriotic duty of ev ery family that has room to raise a few chickens. It is not necessary to have an elaborate house for poultry but if. must be airy and have an abun dance of fresh air and sunlight. There Is a great shortage in all kinds of Ineat. The Food Adminis tration realizes that one of the quick est methods of improving this condi tion is to raise poultry, as the time taken to reproduce and mature is com paratively short. Mr. Hoover has, therefore, asked all farmers to in crease their flocks and also asked every individual that can to do his bit and raise a few chickens. Chick ens may be raised in the city and town as well as in the country. If the husband has not time to care for the birds, then the wife or chil dren will find pleasure as well as profit In doing so. Many of the table scraps that are thrown in the garb age cans should be producing eggs and meat if fed to chickens. If you are willing to assist the Food Administration, which will be helping our soldiers and, at the same time, assure yourself of fresh eggs and poul try at cheaper prices, do it now. If you have never kept chickens and do not understand feeding, housing, etc., write to Prof. J. H. Wood, Georgia State College of Agriculture, Athens, Ga„ for "literature or assistance. AMERICAN ARMY RIFLE SUPE RIOR TO THAT USED BY HUNS American troops are armed with a faster firing and more accurate rifle than used by the Germans, according to our expert designers, manufactur ers, and marksmen, says a statement by the Bureau of Ordnance. One mil itary critic and vsriter claims the Ger man Mauser does not permit the most skilled user to get more than 50 per cent of the firing speed of the modi fied Enfield adopted for the United States service. The superiority claimed for the American weapon is based on three counts: Quicker firing as a result of bolt-handle design, easier and quicker sighting as a result o f sight design, greater accuracy of bullet flight re sulting from bullet design and great er mechanical accuracy of chamber bore.

SECOND ATTEMPT ROB FARMERS BANK Jenkinsburg Bank Dam aged by Explosion NO MONEY WAS SECURED The second attempt within five weeks to rob the Farmers Bank at Jenkinsburg was made Wed nesday night. Like the first ef fort, the burglars failed to ob tain any money. The vault door was blown open but the burglars failed to force the inside door to the vault in which the money and securities are kept. The powerful explo sives used shattered (he brick in one side of the building, it was stated. The explosion is said to have been heard about 11 o’clock by a negro man, but he took it to be the report of a gun and did not give the alarm. Officer 0. If. Knowles was coll ed to Jenkinsburg to make an investigation. The safe crackers, as in the previous attempt, trav eled in an automobile. Officers are working on a clue. The first attempt to burglarize the Jenkinsburp bank was made on Wednesday night, March 6. OUR COMMUNITY’S PART IN THE WAR (Mae Childs, Jenkinsburg Public School) Every community must take a part in the war. Why not have our commu nity take a leading part in the work? There are many ways in which we can help win the war. We can help feed the soldiers, help in the Red Cross movement, buy Thrift Stamps and first of all we must boost it. We all know this war is depending on the farmers. The mild climate we eujoy and the fertile lands which will produce as nearly everything as can be produced in one place places (us) our community in the garden spot of the world. She must exert all energy to raise corn, wheat, oats and ather foodstuffs, educating her sons and daughters, and giving God the praise of her very heart, to pay the debt of gratitude she owes the vorld in this great struggle for Freedom and De mocracy. We can help by buying Thrift Stamps, but even more important than his we should be willing to give a few quarters to Uncle Sam. By be ing a Red Cross member we can knit sweaters and many useful things to protect their bodies from the cold. Above all things there is something j we enjoy far greater than our soil j and climate. It is the friendship of a very highly cultured and Christian people. We should with all means and by all ways possible strive to give our boys and the Allies who are in the trenches fighting our fight for Demo cracy and decency, the most possible enjoyment and furnish them with the material to win the war. 000000000000000 o BURY THE KAISER BE- O O NEATH AN AVALANCHE O O OF AMERICAN DOLLARS O O O O This war is coming home to O O us as the casualty lists grow O O longer with each passing day.

SUFFERING FROM COLD If you shiver in frosty weather, if you have cold hands and feet, if colds are stubborn and frequent, then your blood may be thin and impoverished. scorn EMULSION has been correcting this condi tion for nearly fifty years.

M. Stanley has anything to do with it. Several states in the Union have already passed such laws, for money is more plentiful than labor. Public sen timent and laws are going to de mand the idlers to go to work, for this is no time for idling.— Talbotton New Era. Either a job at something useful, at good pay or work on the chain gang, is the way to break up idleness and vagrancy. The new time schedule is not a re quest. It is a law. Fall in line and observe the new time. Health About Gone Many thousands of women suffering from womanly trouble, have been benefited by the use of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, according to letters we receive, similar to this one from Mrs. Z. V. Spelt, ofHayne, N.C. “I could not stand on my feet, and just suffered terribly,' * she says. “As my suf fering was so great, and he had tried other reme dies, Dr. had us get Cardui. . . I began improving, and it cured me. 1 know, and my doctor knows, what Car dui did for me, for my nerves and health were about gone.” TAKE The Woman’s Tonic She writes further: "I am In splendid health ... can do my work. I feel I owe it to Cardul, for I was In dreadful condition.” If you are nervous, run down and weak, or suffer from headache, backache, etc., every month, try Cardui. Thousands of women praise this medi cine for the good it has done them, and many physicians who have used Cardui successfully with their women patients, for years, endorse this medi cine. Think what it means to be in splendid health, like Mrs. Spell. Give Cardui a trial. AH Druggists J 72
