SO-WEST GEORGIA TO’ POISON A N 0 PLOW’ AND PLOW AND POISON Relentless War Declared On 801 l Weevil, With Calcium Arsenate As Weapon ORGANIZED EVERYWHERE Terrell, Calhoun, Decatur and Dougherty Counties All in Fight DAWSON, May 21.—Terrell county farmers are making plans for a fight to the finish with the boll weevil this year. A large quan tity of the prepared poison has been bought throughout the county while many farmers are buying the cal cium arsenate and syrup and mak ing their own poison. Dusting ma chines of all .kinds have been pur chased and also various types of weevil catchers. The farmers are planning to ap ply the liquid poison direct to fche bud of the plant while it is small and the weevil few. Later when the cotton is larger and the weevil more numerous, the squares will be picked up and the cotton dusted as often as possible and continuously until the crop is made. In 1922 Terrell county made over twenty thousand bales of cot ton and with favorable weather con ditions, the farmers believe that they can duplicate this crop this year through high fertilization, rapid cultivation and thorough pois oning. CALHOUN FARMERS ENLIST IN FIGHT ARLINGTON.

WEAK AND NERVOUS Georgia Lady Says She Has Grown Stronger by Taking Cardui Thoroughly Con vinced of Its Merits. Clyattville, Ga.—ln a statement which she gave at her home on R. F. D. 1, here, Mrs. T. A. Copeland said: “I have, I believe, avoided a good deal of suffering by the use of Cardui, and am thoroughly convinced that it has been of great benefit to me. “Before the birth of two of my children, 1 grew so weak and nervous I could hardly go, and suffered . . . I had a friend who told me of Cardui, so the next time when I grew sc weak and run-down I began to use it. I used it three months. I grew- stronger and less nervous. The baby was stronger and a better baby, and I really believe it was because I built up my strength with this splendid tonic.” Cardui has been in successful use for more than forty years. Thousands of women have written to tell of the beneficial results obtained by taking Cardui, and to recommend it to others. It is a mild, harmless, purely vege table medicinal preparation—a prod uct of practical experience, scientific investigation and pharmaceutical skill. Sold everywhere.

ACTRESS GIVES FIRST SIDELIGHTS ON SHIEK ' * Interesting sidelights on real feheiks are supplied by Wanda Haw ley, who recently returned to Hol lywood after spending six months in Egypt, and who will be seen here at the Rylander Theater on Thurs day and Friday in “The Man from Brodney’s,” a Vitagraph spec'al production based upon the famous novel of the same name by George Barr McCutcheon. Upon her return to this country, Miss Hawley expressed her delisrht in getting away from the ‘sheiks’ who have become standard-bearers in literature and drama of today. Miss Hawley takes exception to the general conception of what a sheik really is. She reports that the spelling of sheik is wrong. In Egypt the spelling is “sheykb.” Even the .pronunciation is wrong, according to the actress. It is pro nounced “shake.” POLARINE OIL il ■> Since the days of the horseless carriage STANDARD —MOTOR PRODUCTS z, have been • T' "eAlways c ßetter > ’ , Standard Oil Company j- INCORPORATED IN KENTUCKY h 1 ii r * lo' & nzll _ zr- pk.
