LESLIE PLANNING
POTATO CURING
Erection of House of 40,-
000 Bushels Capacity
Considered
Sumter county’s first potato cur
ing house probably will be erected
at Leslie, and it is expected that it
will be ready for use this fall. A
number of citizens of that commun
ity are now investigating the potato
curing industry, and they tc
erect a curing house with a*capacity
of 40,000 bushels. The plan includes
the buying of potatoes from individ
ual farmers in lots of all sizes, and
the subsequent sales of these pota
toes in car-lots in Macon, Savannah
Atlanta and other cities. Plans pre
pared by government experts will be
used in the erection of the curing
house, and it is estimated that the
loss during a storage period extend
ing over several months will not ex
ceed 2 per cent. In addition to
buying and curing potatoes, the pro
moters of the plan may also buy
corn, velvet beans and small grain.
Baby’s Food.
The high mortality of infants (one
out of three) is due very largely to
the fact that the baby cannot select
its own food, as does the adult, but
must take what is given it. Often the
food is inferior in quality, or even
positively poisonius.
How can the mother tell whether
the baby’s food is right?
One way is to watch the actions.
If they are regular and natural and
the baby is gaining in weight, the
food is all right. Constipation and
diarrhoea both indicate indigestion
and should have immediate atten
tion.
To correct indigestion and regu
late the stomach and bowels the baby
specialists have perfected a gentle
laxative and regulator called “Baby
Ease” laxative, which the mother
may obtain, with full directions, at
any drug store. “Baby Ease” is an
invaluable aid to the baby’s health,
and no mother should be without it
for emergencies.
Do not use the strong and irritat
ing laxatives such as are commonly
used, nor anything containing opiates
or powerful drugs. They irritate the
delicate organs and lead to chronic
indigestion and constipation. “Baby
Ease” laxative is a corrective and
regulator as well as a gentle laxa
tive, and will promptly and perma
nently correct indigestion, colic,
diarrhoea and constipation. The
mother should then look carefully
to the purity, freshness and whole
someness of the baby’s food, the
cleanliness of the bottles, etc., and
should consult the physician if the
child does not steadily gain in weight.

THE BOOK OF ANN.
Bob Goes Away, Leaving Me to Han
dle Ann’s Case Alone.
“What are you going to do with
me?” wailed Ann.
“Why should you be my responsi
bility?” 1 asked impatiently. Then
I felt sorry. I had been too unsym
pathetic all along. Os course I in
tended to be of service to her as soon
as I could decide what was best to do.
“We’ll have to see Daddy Lorimer’s
lawyer as soon as possible,” I said.
“But we mustn’t alarm daddy or
mother. You go back to the house
and have dinner with the family as
if nothing had happened. That is, if
you can manage it. When Bob comes,
I’ll tel! him all you have told me —
and let him proceed as he thinks best.
What do you say?”
“Do what you like, Jane.”
"For the present, we’ll hide th<
key.” I pulled it from under the
sofa pillow, started to drop it into
a tall vase, then decided that the
mai<l might discover it when shU
was dusting; then 1 considered drop
ping it down the ash-pit of the fire
place, but decided that the ashman
might find it. Then in desperation
1 threw it back on the couch and
and covered it with the cushion again.
After taking Ann home. I would
conceal the key.
“I’ll take you over in the car,” I
said.
“And I will explain to the family
that I’ve spent the whole afternoon
in my new house arranging some
personal belongings,” Ann said.
“Explain as you like until I talk
with Bob.” I spoke as if that much
was settled and started upstairs for
my coat. The telephone bell stop
ped me. Bob was on the line.
“Have you read my note, Jane?
he asked.
“What note?”
“One I left on your writing desk.
I was out at the house this after
noon, putting some duds in my bag.
I’m going out of town for two or
three days. I wrote you explaining
at length since you were not at tome.
Read my letter.”
“Oh Bob! Bob! Ann’s in awful

'trouble!” I exclaimed. “I must see
J you. Please come home this min
iute!”
“This minute, my dear, my train
;is leaving. I’m at the station now.
With Joyce. I’ve been rushed to
death all day. You’ll understand
when you read—”
“But Ann! She’s in trouble—”
“Ann is always in trouble! I
guess her case can wait until I get
back. Goodbye, dear. I love you—
you know—always!”
: That confession was so good to
hear after our moods and silences,
that for a minute I all about
Ann’s affairs.
“You dear—you dear—’s I mur
mured.
“Goodbye, darling. I’m so sorry
to say goodbye this way. But I’ll
be back in a couple of days. Now I
must hurry. Goodbye!”
Before I could say another word
my husband had rang off. I was
left to handle the most difficult sit
uation I had ever faced.
I rushed to my room, found Bob’s
letter on my desk, and tore it open.
It was a long letter. I snatched the
meaning from the pages: Daddy
had made a foolish investment; per
haps he had been profiteering; a gov
ernment investigation was afoot; Bob
was keeping the information from
his father; had gone east taking
Joyce, daddy’s lawyer, with him
mustn’t let dad know for excitement
might prove fatal.
1 thrust the letter into my pocket
to read carefully after I had taken
Ann home. She must not be late for
dinner.
As I descended the stairs I saw
a man leaving the house. Ann was
closing the front door. I ran to her.
“Who was it?” I demanded sharp
ly-
“Just some boy fresh from col
lege. Pretty fresh, too!” Ann re
plied. “I went to the door because
you have no maid at this hour. He
pushed his way in. He was selling
magazines. He insisted on* showing
me the combination. Three month
lies for not much more than the post
age. I got rid of him quickly. I
subscribed,” she concluded, triumph
antly.
“Oh! Is that all!” I said. “I’m
so relieved! I’m afraid of detec
tives—of the police—every time the
bell rings.!”
At this Ann turned a .seared face
to me, then she regarded my pink
satin sofa pillow thoughtfully.
“He sat down—right on the key!”
she whispered. “Jane, do you sup
pose he noticed it?”

Carswell Proposes Am

Against Tax Raise
ATLANTA, June 24. Georgia
lawmakers, who opened their annua!
session yesterday and got down to
business today, have found that the
most vitally serious business con
fronting them is the state’s finances.
They are now engaged in the big task
of trying to “put their house in
order.”
It is plain as the nose on one’s
face that the appropriations must be
kept within the states’ income, other
wise the income must be increased
by raising the tax rate. Legislatures
have been over appropriating for
years.
The House appropriations com
mittee, of which George Carswell of
Wilkinson county is chairman, has
made the first move toward obtain
ing money with which to pay the ex
penses of the 1920 legislature. Mr
Carswell said he would introduce a
simple amendment to the law creat
ing the state motor vehicle depart
ment which would enable the state to
use some of the money now in the
treasury to the credit of this de
partment for general purposes. He
said it would mean that some of this
money, which he said is lying idle in
the Atlanta banks, coulds be borrowed
without interest to tide over the pe
riod of stress until the revenues of
the state begin to come in during the
fall.
‘The financial stringency of the
state of Georgia should be one of
the first matters to claim your atten
tion,” said Speaker John N. Holder
in discussing before the house the
questions that will confront the legis
lature at the present session. "How-

ever, I do not believe that any addi-i
tional tax burdens should be placed 1
upon the property already on the tax
books. Neither should we increase 1
the tax rate. Additional revenues
should be raised by discovering and
placing upon the tax books the hugel
amount of intangible property that is
never returned for taxation. One of
the great tasks of this session should
be to frame legislation which will
uncover this intangible property and;
subject it to taxation.”
