Of The Day
VALUE has been our creed ever
since we opened our doors years
ago.
This year we have made special
efforts in our purchases to get for you
clothes that have both of the essen¬
tials of desirable clothing—
Quality and Style
One without the other would be a
mistake.

A Special Plow
For the Southern Planter
Syracuse Slat Moldboard
Chilled Plow
Here is a plow that is perfectly adapted to the
> needs of the planter who has level-lying, sticky,
difficult shedding land.
Earth slips along easier over slats than over
eolid surface—just as a narrow sleigh runner pos¬
sesses advantages over a wide runner.
When conditions are such that good cleaning
qualities can be obtained in no other way, these
new Syracuse slat moldboard plows are indispen¬
sable. They have excellent pulverizing qualities
and are surprisingly light draft.

FOWLER DELIVERS FINE
LECTURE ON SREAT WAR
Griffin Officer Warmly Received at
High 8chooi Auditorium—Gives
First Hand Information.
Fresh from the battle fields of
France and holding the undivided at¬
tention of a large audience at the Grif¬
fin High School auditorium, Lieuten¬
ant^ Bailey Fowler gave an interest
ipg r lecture and vivid account of the
great war. Lieutenant Fowler spoke
the school and a nice sum was realiz¬
ed for this cause.
Lieutenant Fowler is a fluent, in¬
teresting and forceful speaker and
held his audience spell-bound as he
related the battles in which the Amer¬
icans participated. For the first time
the people here were given first-hand
information on American bravery in
France, Belgium and Germany, and
the lecture was very impressive.
Relating the fighting at Chateau
Thierry, Lieutenant Fowler stated
that the Americans held there for
four days and finally went over the
top. He said if this line had broken
the Americans were prepared to blow
up a sector nineteen miles long and
four miles wide at Ghieve and the re¬
sult of the war might have been dif¬
ferent. The allies beat the Germans
only one hour here, and saved the day
for freedom and democracy. The
speaker related many actual experi¬
ences .and showed in a convincing way
the important part that the Ameri¬
cans played in the big battles. He
paid glowing tribute to the American
Red Cross and other organizations
for the splendid service which they
rendered and also spoke highly of the
heroic French, who held the lines at
great sacrifice until the soldiers from
America came to their assistance.
The Griffin officer was given a cor¬
dial welcome to his old home town
and at the conclusion of his address
he was heartily congratulated by
those in thrf audience.

ARRIVES IN ATLANTA
*
ATLANTA, Ga., March 4.—Caftt. :
Laurence Stallings, a young veteran
of the Chateau-Thierry fighting, who
has achieved a record for himself not
only in battle but in the persistence
and determination with which he
fought with physicians and surgeons
to retain his right leg when they saw
nothing in sight but to amputate, la
back home again, with two sound legs
and the croix de guerre. The rank
of captain is also an additional honor
because when he went to France he
was only a second lieutenant.
He stil has to use crutches, and the
work of reconstructing his leg, which
was torn to pieces by machine gun fire
will require several months longer;
but aside from that he hr happy and
cheerful looking, and is now on his
way to Wake Forest, N. C., t obe mar
ried on Thursday to Miss Helen Po
teat, the sweetheart of his college
days.

CHILDREN WEAR OUT SHOES
quickly and buying new ones for them
is a continual drain on mother’s al¬
lowance; so why not have us repair
the shoes before they are worn out
beyond repair? It is real economy
to bring us the children’s shoes ev
ery so often and let us put them in
good shape. They will last twict as
long.
