Americus, Ga. —“I have been
using Jones’ Balsam of Ben

bruises, burns, swellings, aches
and pains, sores, etc., etc., I
find it does what you say for it.
I feel no hesitancy in recom
mending Jones’ Balsam of Ben

MAKING GOOD WIIH
BUFF OW6IONS
A LADY WHO HAS ACCOMPLISHED
MUCH WITH THIS BREED—VISIT
TO THE BREEDING YARDS AND
HER SHOW RECORD.
Several years ago, Mrs. Ed Morgan
Route D, Americus, began breeding
Buff Orpingtons with two points in
mind: First, the porduction of heavy
laying hen s that would conform to
the standard; second, breeding them
with the rich buff color that is required
to win in our best show. How well
she has succeeded in the first you have
but to visit her home and go into
the laying houses; as for the second
point you only have to follow up the
record she has made in the best
Southern show 8 during the past sea
son. Mrs. Morgan is a true fancier of
fine birds and it is, indeed, gratifying
to know’ that she has been so suc
cessful in her efforts.
Some time ago we had the pleasure
of visiting her farm and looking over
the matings which were housed and
yarded near a large grove providing a
U rge range and plenty of shade for
the birds. Her farm is located several
miles from the city, and upon ap
proaching it you readily appreciate
the ideal conditions which she en
joys for the breeding and rearing of
her favorites. The farm is known as
th e Broad Acre Poultry Farm and is
deserving in every way of the name
selected. Mrs Morgan is also breed
ing Mammoth Bronzee Turkeys and al
lows them the free range of hundreds
of acres assuring her of strong heal
thy stock. At an early date we hope
to have the pleasure as again visiting
her farm and at that time we expect
to make a number of pictures showing
views on the farm, breeding and lay
ing houses and some of her best
birds.
During the show season just past
Mrs. Morgan entered her birds at the
Georgia State Fair, "Dixie’s Greater
Show’,” and at the Jacksonville Poul
try Association held at Jacksonville,
Florida. At both cf the above named
shows she met hot competition but was
successful in winning the lion’s share
of all regular and special prizes.
At “Dixie’s Greater Show,” Macon,
Ga., November, 1917, in a class of
eighty-one Buff Orpingtons she won
second cock, fourth hen, second and
fifth cockerel, first pullet, third old
pen, ten dollar special for best dis
play of Buff Orpingtons and A. P. A.
special medal for best cockerel. This
is, indeed, a record to be proud of con
sidering that there were seven exhib
itors in this popular variety.
At th e Jacksonville show- in a class
of thirty-three she won first and sec
onl cock, first hen, tihrd and fifth cock
erels, second pullet, first and second
pens and special for best display of
Buff Orpingtons.
Mrs. Morgan has her birds mated
and ready for the egg trade, and upon
reviewing her list we find that she
ha s mated several pens for this year
and now offers eggs from her very best
stock. Her first pen is composed of
cock winning first at Jacksonville and
second at Macon, mated to him are
eight pullets of grand type and color
winners in the first and third pens at
Macon and first and second pens at
Jacksonville. Second pen is headed
by cock in third pen at Macon anl
first pen at Jasksonville ;to third bird
she has mated eight prize winning pul
lets. The cock heading this pen has
won six first and is of grand type and
color. Tn mentioning her third mat
ing, Mrs. Morgan says: “This pen is
made up of some of my best prize
winning hens and pullets and headed
by my first pen cockerel and third
cockerel in single class.”
Our dealings with Mrs. Morgan cov
ering a period of two years, have
been entirely satisfactory and we un
hesitatingly say that you will not re
gret. it if you place your order with
her. —The Progressive Poultryman.

COUNT NESSELRODE
LOSES HIS FORTUNE
PARIS, March 2—Count Nesselrode,
' one of the first Russians to respond
to the people’s demands for a better
share of the world’s goods by dis
tributing among them all of his
: property except what he required for
his own living, says the growing
■ distance between the people of Rus
sia and those of Western Europe is
due to the neglect by the French and
other leading nations, except Ger
many, to cultivate relations with the
Russian people.
I He was exiled in 1905 by the gov
ernment because of the mad example
he set to the nobility in giving his
property over to peasants. Since
then he has resided in France and be
come a naturalized citizen of the re
public -A personal frined of Kerensky
Count Nesselrode was a fervent ad
herent to the revolution and gave to
the provisional government what aid
he could from this end.
“The French are astonished at the
progress made by German influence
i Russia,” he says, “but they forget
that the Germans are simply reaping
the reward ofpersistent efforts that
date back to a remote period.” As
an example Count Nesselrode points
to the great number of Russian
students in German universities where
they were aided, encouraged and culti
vated in every way. He puts the
number just before the war at 35,000.
I Count Nesselrode has now been com
' pletely ruined by the revolution, the
little property he had retained having
teen sacked, devastated and appro
priated, yet he keeps his faith in a
final sane outcome of the revolution
! and he considers it a great fault for
the nations of the Entente to base their
attitude toward Russia any other hy
pothesis.

SOCKS GREATEST NEED
OF U. S. SAILOR BOYS
BASE OF AMERICAN FLOTILLA
IN RITISH WATERS, March 5.
Admiral Henry T. Mayo, commander
of the Atlantic fleet has cabled to Vice
Admiral Sims, in charge of American
naval operations in the war zone, a
request for information regarding the
suitability of the special winter out
fits of clothing furnished to the naval
men by the navy department at
Washington. Admiral Mayo also
wants to know’ of any recommenda- ■
t'ons for changes in these garments. :
The Associated Press correspondent
has yet to hear a word of complaint,
against the present outfits worn by ;
the men. Thanks to the busy women '
who knit, most of the men, early on
their arrival here, received excellent
sweaters, jerseys, and socks which'
were sent by wives, relatives and
friends back home. When the cold
weaher came on these were augment- j
ed by an entirely new issue of extra j
heavy winter clothing. Many of these
garments were designed by the British *
from their long experience in torpedo
boats in the hard winters off this
coast.
Experience has show’ that the worn-;
nu folks home ought to concentrate
on socks as they are in the greatest;
demand and the most appreciated of
all things they send to the sailor boys
over here.
CALLED FOR RED CROSS
SERVICE IN FRANCE
SAVANNAH, Ga., March s—Col. B.
Arthur Gordon, the chairman of the
board of director of the local chapter ,
ot the American Red Cross, it is un-'
derstood has received a call to Red
Cross service in France and will leave
for across the water shortly.'
ARE YOU PREPARED?
The most vital question in America today is individual
preparedness. The Great World War is causing us all to
have an eye to the future—individual preparedness for any
thing that may come, but
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU
.that the purchasing value of an American dollar today is
about half of what it was 10 years ago. With one important
.exception, everything we eat, wear or use, has grown con
stantly more expensive. This is one reason why Life insur
ance stands pre eminently alone among the things which
the American dollar L buying today. Relatively figured,
.there has been a very decided decrease in the cost of life
insurance during the past ten years.
WAR IS UPON US
We enter it reluctantly but proudly. We know for a cer
.tainty that many of our men “Over There’’ will never come
back. And yet a certain average death rate is just as sure
.among those of us who stay at home! Men are still subject
to all the ills that flesh is heir to, and the hazards of war
constitute one added reason for life insurance protection.
Mortality statistics show that at age 35, out of 1,000 men 9
.will die before the year is out, but whether you will be one
of the 9 no one knows. >
. Theie is no better combination o f Investment, Savings and
Protection than that afforded by a policy in the MUTUAL
BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, of Newark, N. J.
.Itis a purely mutual company founded in 1845, with no
stockholders and all the savings go direct to the policyhold
.ers. It was founded for a distinct social purpose—to distrib
.ute losses among thousands which to the individual would be
overwhelming.
The assets of the company are diversified and of the
highest character. The Mutual Benefit has survived every
great panic in America. It went through the Civil War with
.credit to itself, and now offers to the American people, at
this time of stress, secure life insurance protection, under a
liberal contract, at minimum cost. It is an American com
pany, operating on the mutual principle for the American
people,
