be well balanced and the hogs properly
fininshed before being offered for sale.
Secretary W. E. Algee was next called
on and tendered the services of the Board
of Trade to Armour & Company at any
time that this orgauizutiou could-be of
service to them.
Why Tifton Was Selected
Mr. W. E. Hathaway, head of the Pro
vision Department, said that be thought
it would be of interest to the people of
Tifton to know why Armour & Company
selected Tifton as a site for an Armour
plant. 1
Mr. Hathaway said that last year he
and another Armour official made a trip
through the South looking for a good lo
cation * They visited Tennessee, Ala
bama aud Florida, the company having
a plant already in operation in Florida.
On their way back, they stopped at Val
dosta and made a trip through South
Georgia by automobile, desiring to get
away from the railroads and see the agri
cultural possibilities. They visited the
fair at Valdosta, numerous county fairs
and the state fair at Macon. They were
well pleased with the live stock exhibit
and the agricultural displays.
While on the trip, Mr. Hathaway says
that he and his partner decided not to
discuss their recommendations, hut to
make separate reports. When the re
ports were turned in, both had selected
Tifton. This recommendation was made
nftcr visiting many towns and cities in
Georgia, numbers of them many times
larger than Tifton.
Mr. Hathaway says Tifton was selec
ted because they felt that the supply of
hogs wns assured here and because of
Tifton’s most excellent railroad facili-
Ile snid that Tifton’s railroad faci
lities are good, both for getting the raw
products to the plant and. the finished pro
ducts to the distributing points.
Pleas For More Houses
In his talk, Mr. Hathaway appealed
to the Board of Trade to'usc its influence
to have more houses built in Tifton. Ar
mour & Company expect to bring many
citizens here, but- there are not
houses enough now for the ones already
here. He urgently requested that more
homes ho built.
President John T. Mathis, of the Val
dosta Board of Trade, was called on and
made a fine talk. He told of what the
fairs have done to entourage the grow
ing of better breeds of live stock, and
the progress along this line which is
shown at the fairs each year. He said
he hoped Armour & Company would en
large the plant here so they would be
able to tnke core of the hogs raised in
owndes.
Col. R. C. Ellis, "Father of the Coas
tal Plain Experiment Station,” said
that agriculture in this section was in its
fancy, but that the Agricultural School
and Experiment Station would be a great
help in bringing about the needed change.
All of the local speakers extended
rm welcome to the visitors.

LOSS OF APPETITE
As a general rule there is nothing
ous about a loss of appetite, and if you
'kip a meal or only eat two meals a day
for a few days you will soon have a relish
for your meals when meal time comes.
Bear in mind that at least five hours
hould always elapse between meals so
is to give the food ample time to digest
and the stomach a period of rest before
second meal is taken. Then if you eat
> more than you crave and take
reasonable affiount of outdoor exercise
every day you will not need to worry
alHiut your appetite. When the loss of
appetite is caused by constipation os is
often the case, that should be corrected
nt once A dose of Chnmberlain’s Tablets
will do it. Adv.

MARKET FOR HOGS
Armour & Company Will Buy All Hogs
Offered Here, No Matter How Many.
Also Buy Poultry and Eggs
"I waut you people to understand and
know, and I waut your fanners to know,
that Armour & Compauy will establish a
stable, year-round market at Tifton for
hogs, and we will buy every hog offered
us here," said Mr. W. E. Hathaway,
head of the Provision Department of
Armour & Company, in a talk at the
Board of Trade dinner in honor of the
Armour & Company officials at the My-
on Hotel Wednesday night.
Mr. Hathaway said that Armour &
Company realized that the Tifton plant
was not big enough to care for all the
hogs marketed iu this section, but that
they would buy all hogs offered and
would ship the surplus to other plants
until the Tifton plant was enlarged suf
ficient to take care of all the hogs grown
iu this section.
Also Establish Poultry Trade
In his talk at the dinner, General
Manager G. II. Crane said that in the not
far distant future Armour & Company
would establish a poultry market at Tift
ton and would be in the market for all
the eggs and poultry the people of this
section had to sell.
Tifton is already a good poultry and
egg market, but at times the local demand
is oversupplied. With Armour & Com
pany in the market, farmers in this sec
tion are assured a year-round cash mar
ket for all poultry nnd eggs they caa
raise.
