SLEEP
When you can’t sleep, it’s because
your nerves won’t let you. Don’t
waste time “counting sheep.” Don’t
lose half your needed rest in reading.
Take two tablets of Bayer Aspirin,
drink a glass of water —and go to
sleep.
This simple remedy is all that’s
needed to insure a night’s rest. It’s
all you need to relieve a headache
during the day—or to dispose of
other pains. Get the genuine tablets
of Bayer manufacture and you will
get immediate relief.
•Bayer Aspirin dissolves always
immediately—gets to work without
delay. This desirable speed is not
dangerous; it does not depress the
heart. Just be sure you get the
genuine tablets stamped thus:

Division three, at Thomaston, was

He concluded his letter as follows:
“In submitting budgets, I am of
the opinion tha tunder the law you
are required to list the contemplated
projects for work. I suggest that
your future budgets give them this
information.
“This request that I am making
with regard to contemplated projects
and the reduction in the budget, is
made with the hope and anticipation
that the highway department can pay
as it goes and be out of debt for all
work completed Jan. 1, 1934.”
Just what the highway board is
going to do about the governor’s in
structors remains to be seen. Be
cause the reorganization bill of 1931
gives the governor broad authority
in revising budgets, and because he
holds the pen which must approve
the requisitions for money, and also
controls federal aid allotments to
Georgia, he takes the position that
he can strike any item from the bud
get, or make any amendment he de
sires.
The disease pellagra, which is due

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
WORK FOR 6,000
IN STATE FORESTS
INDIAN SPRINGS ONE OF STATE
PARKS. YOUNG MEN 18 TO 25
BE ACCEPTED. MUST HAVE
DEPENDENTS
Atlanta, Ga. —According to State
Forester Lufburrow, six thousand
men will be alloted to Georgia for
employment in forestry work on tho
federal relief program. The first oi
ganizcd work, he states, will appa
rently begin on the national forests,
two of which, the Cherokee and Nan
tahala, have areas in North Georgia.
As for work outside the national
forests in Georgia, the state forester
says it will be carried on under the
direction of the state forest service.
The men to be used will be requisi
tioned from camps where the enlist
ed civilians will be conditioned by
the army. The state projects will in
clude the use of men on state parks,
state forests and timber protectice
organizations.
The state parks are Indian Springs,
Vogel Park at Neel Gap in Union
county, and Stephens Memorial Park
at Crawfordville. The only state for
est is at Augusta. Forty-four timber
protective organizations are scatter
ed throughout the state, embracing
nearly two million acres, with the
greatest number in southeast Geor
gia.
Mr. Lufburrow states that appli
cations for enlistment in forestry
work should be made to Mr. Herman
Delaperriere, Reconstruction Finance
Corporation headquarters, 232 State
Capitol, Atlanta, as soon as Mr. De-
Laperriere announces through the
press that he is ready. Applications
should not be made to the state for
ester.
Attention is directed by Mr. Luf
burrow to the fact that the present
age limit is 18 to 25 years. The ap
plicants must have dependents. They
will be required to send at least $25
of the S3O per month received to
their dependents. Clothing, food,
shelter and medical service wdll be
free, so that the need of spending
money in camp will he small.
Mr. Lufburrow has been in Wash
ington and heard an explanation of
the purposes and plans of the pro
ject, and says that the idea of Presi
dent Roosevelt is principally to put
idle young men to work under an
environment that will be wholesome
morally and physically, and sec
ondarily, to promote the interests of
forestry.

the plant supply is ample, since
growers because of the serious plant
shortage last year resulting from
mold sowed beds in excess of intend

crops had been done but preparation
was well under way.
