Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO DOMESTIC COffIITIOOS PROMISE EWEim Evidence That Agricultural Products Scheduled for Early Rise in Value NEW YORK, Sept. 10. —Henry CJews & Co., bankers, in their mar ket review for the week assert that “domestic conditions continue to held out the promise of a prosperi ty fully as great as had been an ticipated. There is a very genera! report of good orders and substan tial buying on the part of consum ed. The profits of the Ford Motor Co., which has lately published its statement, showed about $54,000,- otlO for the last quarter. These are illustrative of the extraordi nary and widespread buying power of the community. Excellent earn ings have ealso been announced by other motor concerns, notably by Mack Trucks. The returns for hjany of the larger industrials cov ering the first half of the year are now at hand, and reveal a far greater output as well as a better profit than had been ex pected in many quarters. Textile mills have in many quar ters resumed their activity, the re sult being that employment is again moving upward. ‘There is considerable evidence that prices of agricultural prod ucts are likely to move upward within the next thirty to sixty days, ajnd every such advance tends to forward the movement of goods towards markets. At present the Railway consolidation efforts of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion have evidently been suspend ed, and there is much indication that little or nothing is likely to be done in that direction in the absence of further legislation on the part of congress. Meantime, the conservatism which President is showing, not only as re gards rails but other enterprises, has had an excellent effect upon tSie frame of mind of the business community. Favorable financial prospects are unmistakably in the ascendant. An alyses lately made show that there is no Increase in the strain being brought to Juear Upon ' Rcsebvfel banks£by ondhibers or by the lie. t This is. done to the gradual recession of; .prices and the fact that business is so yell able to fi nance itself. It is a wholesome in-1 dication, because it furnishes good evidence that speculation has not I gone to the point of holding large 1 quantities of products idle or out I of the -market. The latest state ment oft the reserve banks shows gold holding amounting 8 to over $3,102,000,000, while holdings of bills show; but moderate tendency tp. increase standing at $1,024,- 657,000, a reserve ratio of 74 per cent. , at 1 '"" V'-’«as!3pwa; JJ j® - .. : • V.f T%S>, -a JjK) This at Night Then Quaker Puffed Rice in the morning The finest grain foods known ' ** Quaker Puffed Wheat is whole wheat puffed to airy globules, 8 times normal size.

Make Cases This Week (Continued from page 1.) over thy telephone: “ ‘Daddy, no use ringing any candy ©r fruit home tonight, or even anything extra for dinner to morrow. The children are all sick can’t enjoy it. I don’t feel well and it just be thrown away.’ Hearing of sickness and it be ing quitting time he eased on off and left her undisturbed over the phone. Beginning Monday morn ing whefte he left off (Saturday the same v<fice> was [heard over [phone again, saying: ‘Daddy, you just as well send a doctor down here. The children are not any better. Florence, Ezekiel, Miland, Thomas, Willie, Woodrow, sister and the baby all have high fever and you tell the doctor that when he comes that you want him to look over all the other children, too, as they ate no breakfast and are just moping around.’ “Arrington was so wrought up and in such a hurry that I might have gotten a word or name wrong. Anyway, the story itself does not amount to much, yet knowing him as I do from past acquaintance and realizing that he was only a sal aried man, seeing him all wrought up, deeply concerned and appar ently grievd that it was certainly time for somebody else to become concerned about this proposition as he was more determined this mo.'aing than I have ever seen him to get rid of mosquitoes.” Creamery to Open Nov. 1 (Continued from Page 1.) adjacent to Americus as at pres ent, though it is planned to in crease the ice cream output during next summer. S; caking today of the creamery and the method of operations to be pursued, Mr. Wilson stated that in the beginning he does not plan to install cream routes, but that farmers having cream, sweet or sour, to offer may ship this into the creamery here, or bring it there, and their entire output will be taken. In fact one factor that just now is causing the promoters of the enterprise to wrinlke their brows is the cream supply. In or der to manufacture 1,000 pounds of butter daily will require a sup ply of approximately 400 gallons of sweet or sour.cream daily, and it is expected that farmers will supply this amount in order that the creamery may operate at full capacity from the beginning. Farmers who bring their cream to the creamery will be paid in cash upon delivery and this de livery need not be confined to any particular day, but may be ar ranged to suit the convenience of the producer. All that will be nec essary for the farmer is to bring in his cream and deliver this on the platform at the dairy here. After the cream is delivered to the creamery it is placed immediately into a large Pasteurizing machine and is handled'thereafter without being touched with human hands. Pouring direct from the Pas teurizing machine into a huge churn the cream will be trans formed there into butter of the highest type, and prepared for market in Atlanta, Macon, Birming ham, and elsewhere. Because of the strictly manner in which the butter is to be manu factured and handled, it is expect ed that the Americus butter will highest market price. The butter will be taken from the church with mechanical aids and placed direct into a room which will be kept at a temperature of approximately 40 degrees. Faren heidt, where it will be wrapped in tissue paper by girls especially trained for the task. After being wrapped in this covering the but ter will be placed into a storage room where it will be thoroughly frozen and kept there until ship ped to market. It is expected that co-incident witli the installation of the cream ery here, large numbers of fine purebred cattle will be added to the Sumter hers, and that two to three thousand dollars will be dis tributed monthly among cream producers here. \ / Economy Through Quality - W; PINKSTON The Pinkston Shoe Department The Most Complete in Americus —You may depend upon this, Pinkston's will _. show you the new things first.

I was eating scarcely enough to keep going on, and food stayed in my stomach like a rock, causing pain and extreme nervousness. Sleep was often im possible, and I gradually weakened so I could hardly attend to my of fice duties. “The first bottle of Tanlac im proved my appetite and digestion wonderfully, my nervousness dis appeared and I rested better at night, tach successive bottle gave added impetus to my returning strength, and I felt ten years younger when I finished the sixth bottle a short time later.
