OF INTEREST IN THE
Mr. Depew’* Mother’* Talent and Am
bition. „
My mother was a woman of broad
culture and a great reader. She wa3
intensely religious and believed in
the efficacy of church attendance on
the Sabbath. She did not care for
money, and never gave any advice in
regard to it. Rich people did not im-
IL-pss her, but she was never tired of
Pbnthusiastically speaking of the hon
ors of life and of men who had be
come famous as statesmen, orators or
author. She pleaded so earnestly and
urgently the duty of going to church
that I am as uncomfortable now for
the remainder of the week if absent
from service at least once on Sunday
as I was when a boy. She valued ed
ucation beyond all acquisition, and
her constant injunction was to get
knowledge Her often repeated remark
was: “It requires little money to live
and anybody who tries can earn it,
but very few can win distinction.
Strive for that.” —Chuncey M. Depew

FOOD FACTS
SUGAR FOR CANNING
ANO PRESERVING
Sugar may be obtained for canning
and preserving purposes in Georgia in
25 pounds at a purchase, under a cer
tificate plan.
In response to numerous requests,
Dr. Andrew M. Soule, federal food ad
ministrator, has ordered into effect at
once the following plan:
“Desiring to purchase sugar for im
mediate canning and preserving pur
poses, I hereby pledge myself to use
such sugar exclusively for Buch pur
poses and under no circumstances to
sell or loan the same. Permission is
sought to buy pounds from
(name of dealer) at
Signature of Purchaser.
I hereby certify that the above
amount of sugar was this day sold by
me for use by the above purchaser
for preserving and canning purposes
only and I further certify that I have
reason to believe that such sugar will
not be used otherwise than in accord
ance with the regulations of the U.
S. Food Administration.
Signature of Retailer.
“Under no circumstances must more
than 25 pounds of sugar be sold on
this certificate to any one customer
at any one time. No retailer shall sell
to the same customer on additional
certificates until he has satisfied him
self that the permission obtained in
previous certificates has not been
abused.”
The certificate forms must be pro
vided by dealers, and will not be pro
vided by the food administration.
oangerFfamine
(From Farm Life.)
Maybe you’ve seen that expression
before. It is taken from a statement
made not long Ergo by Lord Rhondda,
the British food controller. It gives
a graphic picture of the food shortage.
In fact, as Lord Rhondda says:
“The food wanted by mankind does
not exist.
“The word 'shortage' is not strong
enough for the situation.
"To put the matter bluntly, the
whole world is up against a nasty
thing, familiar to the people of India,
called Famine.’’
It is a good thing for us to let
that melancholy statement soak into
our consciousness. Then we’ll do
what we can, every one of us, to save
the world from famine.
Some folks say that they are tired
of hearing about “starvation” and
“food shortage,” and similar unpleas
ant things.
Prior to the war the Treasury pre
pared approximately 150,000 checks
annually for the payment of interest
on registered bonds of all loans, the
issue of these 150,000 checks being
distributed through the year. In the
May payment of interest on register
ed bonds of the second Liberty Loan
morethan twice that number of checks
were prepared.
Dr. E. G. Calvert, West Monroe,
La., has never known “Baby Percy
Medicine” to fail when baby’s sick.
Get a bottle. advt
Don’t you feel proud of the way
Butts county cleared the bars in the
Liberty Loan and Red Cross Drives?
They are even tired of having the
papers urge greater production.
When they reflect a little on Lord
Rhondda’s statement, these tired ones
ought to change their attitude. They,
too, should join the rest of us and be
come boosters for increased food.
EAT THISBIGCROP
“Eat more potatoes."
With that slogan the Food Admin
istration has inaugurated a national
campaign to encourage the free mar
keting and consumption of potatoes.
It has enlisted the co-operation of all
agencies of the potato trade, state
and local authorities, various organi
zations, and the press. During the
next few months the great potato
crop of America will be moved from
producing centers to points of con
sumption as rapidly as the public will
consume the delectable “spuds.”
There are two great reasons for do
ing this:
(1) American growers in 1917 pro
duced a great crop which in large part
Is unmarketed on the coming of
spring. Bad weather conditions was
the cause; but if this crop is not con
sumed rapidly and in larger propor
tion to other foods than is customary,
millions of bushels of potatoes will
not be sold before the next harvest.
Such a calamity could not fall to dis
courage potato growers who a year
ago responded to the appeal of the
country to be patriotic and increase
food production.
(2) By eating plenty of potatoes,
Americans can lower materially their
consumption of wheat products and
thus comply with the urgent request
of the Food Administration to cut
the national consumption of wheat
products by 60%.
