•BUKN-A-BAL.E’ MOVEMENT
CONSIDERED TO COMPETE
WITH COTTON MARKET CUT
Bamberg, F. C.— A “burn-a-bale”
move ment, .u plant the “btiy-a-bale”
tdoyan i a decade ago, has been
launched by leading planters and
buxine men of Bamberg county in
co-opera;i n with the Bamberg board]
of commerce.
T*he plan c? originated and foster
ed here, calls for the destruction of
4,000,000 bale s of cotton through
out the Southern state*. Those be
hind the movement ray they intend
to spread the idea with the hope of
having it accepted over the whole
cotton belt, with proper organiza
tion to speedily and successfully car
ry on the work to a satisfactory
finish.
The Pl.n
The propc: erl ystem / provides that
every man who agrees to burn a
ba.e shall deliver it to some con
veniently designated point in his com
munity, to be given an official re
ceipt for the cotton, which receipt
must be signed by the proper auth
orities, who must guarantee the
prompt return of the bale to its
ri rhiful owner unle s 4,000,000 bales 1
can be accumulated for the great
“bonfires."
It is planned to have the burning
all orcr the South at the same time,
on a clay set apart for the purpose.
May Join In
The originators of the idea be
lieve that it is wholly plausible, and
the only quick way to accompish
Wgfcer prices. They point out that
banks, businessmen and industrial en
terprises may join in the movement
by buying a bale to burn.
THE BEST EXERCISE
We suppose that practically every
one has heaid of Edward Paysorf
Weston, famous long-distance walk
er. Almost three-quarters of a cen
tury ago he started out to prove
that walking is the world’s most val
uable exercise, and that it will add
years to one’s life. Today he is 85
years of age, but is still able to earn
his own living and is doing that very
thing a■■ handy-man around a New
ork restaurant. He has nev’er been
seriously ill and never in need of a
doctor His medicine and his tonic
has consisted of froh air. He start
ed out to prove that walking is
healthful, and he has certainly done
*o. .There is a lesson of vnlue in this
man’s life, and that is to get all the
outdoor exercise you possibly can.
Don 1 let the auto wean you away
from the healthful exercise of walk
ing. ou may find it more comfort
able to ride, but if you’ll forego a
little riding and do more walking
you’ll be on earth longer to do both.
GOOD ADVICE, IF TAKEN
If a farmer, a merchant and a con
jjresxinjm, all in one, is worth hear
ing on the now imperative problem
>f low-priced cotton, we may well
listen to Hon. Eugene Black, of
Clarksville, Texas, who has repre
sented the first district of the Lone
star Btjitc in the national legislature
for the last eleven years. Having
extensive interests of his own in agri
cuhurv and knowing the practice as
well as theory of farming, he can
speak as one whose heart and head
alilr are appreciative of the troubles
®f the hour. In the course of a state
ment given out at Washington he
npi:
*‘What the south needs most of all
k diversification of crops, including
more extensive hog and live stock
growing, poultry raising and dairy
ing. We will never achieve econo
mic independence until we get away
from so much cotton. One thing is
sure and certain. The more cotton
w* raise at present prices, the poor
er w get. No man can make cost
of production at present prices and
many are losing heavily on every
bale they have produced. 1 am ready
to go my full lei ,th and help in
every way that 1 p i ; o!y can and I
will begin by seeing that . ’and in
which 1 own an interest : r
tht cotton acreage in 1927 i- red te
ed not les* than twenty-five per cu. .
I call upon landlords and tenants
throughout the - . \ to b tin at
®acc their efforts to bring about the
reduction in acreage which is so
eibully necessary.”

Georgia is one of only four States without ade “>3 Vital Statistics Lavs.
I liat in itself should compel, us from a sense of p.-ide alone to VOTE on
November 2nd “FOR RATIFICATION of amendment to Article 7, Section '6
Paragraph 2, of the Constitution, providing for the collection and preserva
tion of records of birth, death, disease and health." But there are many
other practical business reasons why Georgia should have satisfactory birth
and death registration laws.
Birth registration is essential for establishing proof of citizenship and of
identity, the right to attend school, to enter employment, to marry, to receive
passports, to serve in the civil and military arms of government, to enjoy be
quests and the proceeds of insurance. All of these are more or less de
pendent upon accurate birth records.
Equally important i3 the proper registration of deaths. Such records are
necessary in proving death for probating wills, settling estates, establishing
claims for insurance and pensions. They are indispensable in gauging health
conditions of a State or community and in determining the success or failure
o measures attempted by the public health officials in preventing disease
and
LET THERE BE LIGHT
Babies As Well As Grown-ups Need It
Light is essential to our well-being
Direct sunlight is neces .ary to prop
er growth and development, especial
ly in babies.
It is a preventive of the disease
known as “Rickets.”
The baby should be exposed to the
direct rays of the sun every day for
a period of time. The essential rays
of light that are necessary for propei
growth and development are filtered
out by window glass. It is, therefore,
imperative to have the sun shine di
rectly on the child's body.- Artificial
sunshine is obtainable by electricity
and can be used as a substitute. It
Is only a substitute, as nothing equals
nature. All growing children should
have the benefit cf outdoor sunshine
In Georgia this, owing to our mild
and salubrious climate, can be had
almost every day in the year.
While the child is getting the nec
essary sunshine, it is also getting a
good supply of fresh air, another es
sential to its well-being. In fact, there
are five essentials for a healthy,
strong baby or child air, sunlight
water, proper feeding and rest Give
these as they should be given and
the baby will thrive, grow, be strong
and well.
Write the Georgia State Board ol
Health. Maternity and Infancy Divi
sion, fpr a Baby Book.
Have your doctor give the baby
toxin-antitoxin and vaccinate It al3o
against smallpox. Six months old Is
about the right age.
The disease known as “Rickets" it
a very serious one, but one that cat
be prevented and remedied. Sunshlnt
for the mother and baby helps; it
fact. Is essential. The body should b
exposed to the direct sun's rays.
Human life is the State’3 greatesl
asset.
Health Officers say that public
health work without Vital Statlstici
Is like ocean navigation without chart
or compass—aimless and meandering
The registration of births and deathi
is not only an act of civilization bul
Is good business.
Vote and work for vital statistics.
Better health and longer lire for th
individual mean economic gain ai
well as greater happiness for all.
It Is estimated that the economic
waste from preventable deaths even
year In the United States is about on
billion dollars.
Vital Statistics are fundamental ti
any constructive vision.
The State has a right lo a file ol
Its citizens.
Thousands of doses of typhoid vac
cine are manufactured and distributed
by the State Board of Health, but oth
er thousands should be used. Have
you had yours? *
Storm Warning-Take Notice
Science and quick communication
give warning in advance of storms
The recent great disaster In Florida
was known to be approaching several
days before it struck.
Scientists today need vital statis
tics to tell them what is happening, sc
that -they may take the necessary steps
to avert trouble. Science needs the
signboard of direction which can onl;
be given by the thorough and com
plete reports of births and deaths.
Georgia is not now getting such infor
nation because the supreme court hat
said that cur law was not constitu
tional. At the next general election or
November 2. the people of our state
will be given an opportunity to sa>
whether they want this most valuablt
asset.
You and your friends are expected
to go to the polls and put Georgia ir,
line with the progressive states of oui
Union; in fact, there are only four
states who do not have such a law.
If we are to advance
we must be in position to offer prool
of our health. Money does not
seek investment in unhealthy sec
tions. How are you going to provt
that your community is healthy and
the peopb long lived unless you havf
statistics that are unquestionable O'
the command of the investigator, gov
ernment statistics, If you please?
Thl3 can only be done when Georgia
Is admitted to the registration area ol
the United States. To be admitted we
must pass the necessary law, there
fore it behooves every citizen to go to
the polls November 2, and vote fo:
the constitutional amendment author
izing vital statistics collection in oui
state. .
As winter approaches let us see to ii
that our homes and offices have the
proper ventilation and sunlight; both
are essential to proper lier.lth.
If a thing is vital we cannot live
without it. Therefore, if Georgia ex
pects to live, she must have reliable
Vital Statistics.
Is It not better to know the fact
and set about correcting the evil than
to let preventable diseases continue
their death ravages?
Records of the causes of death lr
our midst must be made if we expec.
to safeguard the health of our deal
ones.
Records of births must be made if
we expect to guarantee to our chil
dren their legal rights.
Blindness In babies is preventable
In a large moasure. The thing to do is
to put drops into the eyes at birth.
IX) not neglect to give your baby
the protection against disease that
advanced science provides.
Ratify the vital statistics amend
ment of our Constitution at the polls
this fall.

Aids in Mastering
Culinary Art
MAKING an art of cookery
means putting all the house
hold engineering on an effi
cient basis, and saving oneself effort
and time for adding the extra touches
that make dishes appetizing. No house
wife should be without these simple
mechanical aids, scales to weigh and
check her supplies, improved can open
ers, mixing spoons, knife sharpeners.
And nearly all housewives make gen
erous use of canned foods, those easy
sources of individual touches which
are safe, economical and remarkable
time savers.
An indispensable staple is shorten
ing. Lard, vegetable oils and such
good shortenings keep the expensive
butter bill where it belongs. When
purchased in cans they need no other
container and ithe easy resealing cover
of the can keeps the shortening sweet
roods thai Won’t Fatten
THE best laid diet-to-reduce
schemes will go astray if the
wrong foods continually present
themselves as the most convenient
and quickly prepared dishes. Such
temptation must be rigorously thrust
in the background by keeping the
right foods on hand and in prepared
form. Doing this will be a conven
ience, and serving them so easily be
comes a habit. The shelf of canned
foods may be a bulwark not only
to the woman who would red ice- but
to the woman who watches the scales
with a wary eye and keeps down tc

and clean. These shortenings can be
used in pies, cakes, for frying and
basting, as the housewife well knows.
Don t turn aside from a good re
|Cipe because it calls for stock, for
ikw stock comes in cans and canned
bouillon, consomme or julienne are
also equally productive of excellent
flavoring.
Culinary art consists also in using
good sauces. Cans of mushrooms
kept cn the supply shelf will provide
delirious sauces for almost any meat
dish and a combination food for many
dishes. Canned tomato sauce is an
excellent source of flavoring, again
for meats or for vegetables.
Canned fruits and berries consti
tute delicious fillings for pies. Jams
and jellies may also be easily made
from canned fruits almost at a mo*
ment’s notice. ei
Two { the most important items
cn the non-fattening shelf are spin
ach and stringless beans. Both are
extremely good tonic foods, high in
mineral content and with little cr no
carbohydrates. When purchased in
cans, the cooking preliminaries are
dor.c, rnd thus it is easy to serve
them often. Another excellent vege
table is cabbage, but how the house
vvi ie hates to cook it! Sauerkraut,
when bought in cans, has no sug
gestion of odor, and its healthfulness
is extolled by Pasteur and Metchini
kotf. Lettuce is a good food for the
non-fatten r ng diet, but only French
dressing should be used.
