GOVERNOR SLATON AGAINST BOLL WEEVIL Joins Georgia Chamber Os Commerce in Fight On Pest. State of Georgia—Executive De partment, Atlanta. Whereas, the boll weevil is a serious menace to Georgia, and Whereas, the -Georgia Cham ber of Commerce is now actively engaged in the organization in each county in Georgia of a coun ty Chamber of Commerce, in which the farmers and business men will be organized for the purpose of bringinging about methods of farming and market ing for the better protection of the state against the threatened boll weevil invasion, Therefore, I, John M. Slaton, as Governor of the State of Geor gia, do request and urge that public meetings be held in every city and town and in every coun in Georgia for the purpose of devising ways and means to aid the Georgia Chamber of Com merc in this movement; and I do urge the people of the cities and towns in each county of this commonwealth to meet among themselves and devise ways and means in furtherance of this se riously important movement. John M. Slaton, Governor. A. H. Ulm, Sec, Ex. Dept. The Youth’s Companion Calendar for 1914. The publishers of The Youth’s Companion will, as always at this season, present to every subscriber whose subscription is paid for 1914, a Calendar for the the new year. It is a gem of calendar-making. The decora tive mounting is rich, but it is subordinated to the main purpose to produce a calendar that is useful. Mixed Sausage. Mixed sausage may be made from a mixture of pork and beef in almost any proportion. It is the custom on many farms to kill three of four hogs and a beef during the winter for the year’s supply of meat. When this plan is followed a nice supply of sau sage can be made from the trim mings. Sausage should not con tain too much fat. A good pro portion is two pounds of lean pork, one pound of fat pork, and one pound of lean beef. Chop together fine and season as pork sausage. Pack in jars, muslin bags, or casings. Many people prefer this to clear pork sausage, as it is not so fat. This and many other sugges tions for use in farm, butchering and meat cutting are given in Farmers’ Bulletin 183 published by the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. The Department of your Congressman will undoubtedly be glad to send it free of charge as long as the supply lasts.— Andrew Boss, Agriculturist, Uni versity Farm, St Paul. Used To Advantage. The Sunday school teacher was possessed of the praiseworthy desire to promote thrift among the class of lads, says the Pitts burg Chronicle-Telegraph. He had given Joe and Johnny six pence each for doing some work for him. “I hope to hear when we meet again,” he said, “that you have used the money to advantage.” The next time they met Joe produced two sixpences. “Well done, my lad,” said the delighted teacher. “I am pleased to see my lessons are having the desired effect. But u hat of your sixpence, Johnny?” said he to the other hopeful. “Please, sir, I lost it tossin’ wid Joe!” Remember, a diamond ring worth $75 and a gold bracelet to be given away Jan. Ist at W. E. Walker’s, Yidalia, Ga. ad Better Banking for Farmers. Congress will soon have set tled the currency bill, and will then be prepared to take up the question of rural credits. No scheme has yet been suggested that seemed to met the require ments of the American farmer. The German system will not “go” in America. Land condi tions here are different, and the relation of the farmer to the land is different; but the bankers themselves ought to see that here is an unoccupied field, and that by bringing the banks close to the farmer, making them serve the farmer, they, too, can create traffic, they can induce the far mer to do his banking at home, make his deposits in his local bank, take stock in the local bank, watch its operation, and by developing a community of ir - terest, make it possible in the fu ture for the land owner to get what money he needs at home without going to Memphis or Louisville or Chicago or New York or Amsterdam. There is a good time coming to the farmers. It has been com ing for many years, but year by year there is an improvement, and the improvement in the course of the next few years will be more marked. —Home & Farm. Examination for Postmaster.

I firmly believe Black-Draught ' saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles, they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s * Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no more trouble. I shall never be without THEDFORD’S BLACK-DRAUGHT in my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headache, dizzi- 1 ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar £l ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe, reliable, gentle and valuable remedy. 4 If you suffer from any of these complaints, try Black- 0 0 Draught It is a medicine of known merit Seventy-five 0 ® years of splendid success proves its value.
