233,000 MEN TO
COLORS IN MAY
Georgia’s Quota Will Be
15,802 Men
ONLY 978 WHITE BOYS
OFFICIA NOTICE NOT RECEIVED
BY LOCAL BOARD—GOVERN
MENT DETERMINED TO PUT
MILLIONS IN FRANCE AT ONCE
Washington, May 3.—Simultane
ously with the announcement today
that 233,000 men from 45 states had
been called to join the colors in May,
Secretary Baker indicated the scope
of the Government’s plans for increas
ing its fighting strength, by stating
that Congress had been asked to ap
propriate approximately $15,000,-
000,000 for the amy for the next fis
cal year. This amount is exclusive of
funds provided in the fortification bill
which not only covers coast defenses,
but as a rule provides the bulk of
heavy field ordinance.
Last year the army estimate ag
gretgated $0,000,000,000 to pay for
an army of 1,500,000, which has al
ready been exceeded.
The call for a quarter of a million
during May goes to all states except
California, Oregon and Nevada,
which, with the District of Columbia,
already have supplied so large a part
of their quota that it was decided not
to include them this ime. The move
ment in most states will begin May
25.
Atlanta, May 3.—Georgia’s quota
on the May draft call is 15,802, Major
Joel B. Mallet, selective service of
ficer for this State, announced late
today. The State has already furnish
ed 4,495 whites and 1224 negroes,
leaving a balance of 10,083 to to re
port to camp May 26, Major Mallet
said. Of this number 978 are whites
and the remainder negroes.
The local draft board, chairman
J. H. Ham stated, has not yet received
official notice of he call. The number
of men Butts county will be required
to furnish vjill not be known until the
official call comes in. It is likely, how
ever, that some 25 or 30 men will
be repuired to complete Butts coun
ty's allotment.
WOMEN TORTURED!
Suffer Terribly With Corns
Because of High Heels, but
Why Care Now
Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then pro
ceed to trim these pests, seeking re
lief, but they hardly realize the ter
rible danger from infection, say a
Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers if you will get from any
drug store a quarter of an ounce of
a drug called freezone. This is suffi
cient to remove every hard or soft
com or callus from one’s feet. You
simply apply a few drops directly
upon the tender aching com or cal
lus. The soreness is relieved at once
and soon the entire com or callus,
root and all, lifts out without one
particle of pain.
This freezone is a stick substance
which dries in a moment It just
shrivels up the com without inflam
ing or even irritating the surround
ing tissue or skin. Tell your wife
about this. advt

PAPERS COMMENT ON
CARROLLTON SPEAKING
Atlanta, Ga. f May 9.—The Carrol
ton newspapers have left no doubt in
the minds of anyone regarding the
Dean-Hardwick incident in Carrolton
the other day.
After stating that Senator T. W.
Hardwick, who made his opening ad
dres there, refused to meet H. H.
Dean of Gainesville in joint debate,
and that Mr. Dean, who is considering
entering the senatorial race, spoke
on the public square to a larger crowd
than Hardwick had, the Carroll Free
Press has this interesting paragraph:
“Dean called the Senator ‘the littlo
Bantam Rooster’ and proceeded with
out ceremony first to pick off the ban
tam’s feathers, then his hide, then
trimmed his spurs and comb. In fact,
the Senator would not have known
himself if he had stayed to hear the
arraignment”
, From the report of the Carroll
County Times, the following perti
nent paragraph is taken:
“Dean proceeded in a manner to
flay the Senator and to answer his
