Pol!: County To Make Big Potato
Shipment
Cedartown, Ga.—County Agent
W. H. Garner expects to ship out
some 200,000 bushels of potatoes
from Polk county within the next

from 200 acres of ground belonging

and are the result of both the co
operative and seed loan movement.
The recent hailstorm did some dam
age to the crop.

Eloise O’Neil in Meriwether; Mrs.
S. F. Marshall in Putnam; Mrs. C.

CHANGES IN WORLD
AMAZF MAN MADE TO SEE
AFTER TWENTY YEARS
“I don’t know what to say or do,"
aaid Jamb Lieberman. “I couldn't
be happier with miiliona."
He had moped in darkness for 20
years—blind. At 87 years old it
seemed that he would never see
sunshine, trees and faces attain.
The surgeons operated on his eyes
in the home of the New York Guild
for the Jewish Blind. His eyes
were bandaged four days. Finally
they were uncovered. He blinked
and smiled.
“I see!” he exclaimed.
Years seemed to fall away from
Jacob Lieberman after that. He
looked younger, happier. Friends
he had known only by their voices
became visible. He looked at him
self in the mirror and laughed. For
the first time he saw his snow-white
hair and beard. He was proud of
his military carriage, still retained,
a reminder of service in the Russian
army.
For the first time in 20 years he
lighted his own eigaret. Downstairs
he walked unfalteringly and came
out into a world he had not seen for
a fifth of a century.
He smiled joyously at trees show
ing new leaves, but he was amazed
at the traffic, the higher buildings,
new type cars and transformed
streets.
Back at home, he took a bath un
aided and put on anew suit.
“I am richer than Rockefeller,”
he said.
Bill Would Honor Thomas E.

has been introduced in the house by

Skillful-Useful
Kilowatt
* T"] Hours:
I'' „n ce> tnlr /
When electric service can add so much to
life in the home and costs so little —it seems
a wonder that anyone would be without its •
many joys. And especially now, when bar'
gains are not only frequent necessities, but
are actually the vogue.
Average rates for electric service in
homes served by this Company are
far below the national average. They
have been reduced steadily, even dur
ing the boom years when prices of *
food, clothing, rent and other com
modities were shooting to sky-high
levels. They are lower right now than
they ever have been at any time.
As use of the service increases, your rate
for energy drops from five to three and then
as low as two cents a kilowatt hour!
And one kilowatt hour will light a 50-watt
lamp for 20 hours; or operate a sewing ma'
chine for 20 hours; or a grill for 12/3 hours;
or a toaster for 2 hours; or a radio for 12
hours; or a vacuum cleaner for 6 hours.
€/
Where else will pennies mere pennies
buy so much? All of us can afford the new A
ease which wise use of electric service brings

It’s a bargain too „ 11 1 1

Mrs. Hall is reported tonight as
conscious but in a critical condition.
The second shot, in her side, lodged
near the pelvic bone and has not
been removed.
Traveling man: “Waitress, all I
want for breakfast this morning is
two soft boiled eggs, a cup of cof

The waitress returned with his
order whereupon the traveling man
said: “Well, here are the eggs and
the coffee but where are the kind
words?”
Waitress “Don’t eat them eggs.”

Toe Aches, By Simple Amputation
Agency, Mo.—Jim Gidden’s toe—

hold them apart. Then, with the
blade of a putty knife poised on the
first joint of the offending toe, he
struck the knife with a hammer.
