Thursday Morning, Sept. 28, 1916. If Georgia has gone wild on politics she is also long on pea nuts and potatoes, to say nothing of pork and pumpkins. The Corn Club boys and the Canning Club girls are the salt of the earth. Greensboro Her ald-Journal. Somebody in authority in Mas sachusetts says eggs will soon be selling at 75 cents a dozen. Buy a hen!—Savannah News. Democracy is safe while Wood row Wilson is at the helm, and the great common people will have sense enough to vote to keep him there. It would be mighty nice and pleasant in Georgia if we only bad an election every four years, and sessions of the legislature every ten years. Darien Gazette. Keep your boy in school and he has a fair chance to become an educated and useful man. Keep him loafing on the streets and he will remain a loafer as a natural consequence. To gain a little rest from poli tics, the editor is off this week on an auto tour. What the boys left in charge of the paper fail to do will not lie worth raising a rook as about. „ In the mean time the Brewton- I’arker Institute is forging to the front as one of the leading schools of the state, and its work is telling in this part of the Em pire State of the South. The cotton boll weevil is now at our doors, having been dis covered over in Appling county, it is time for our people to per fect preparation for its coming for it will certainly be here next year.—Tattnall Journal. If the people of the Twelfth congressional district named the better man for office, W. W. Larsen must be a good one. “Dud” Hughes is a good man in and out of office and something unusual must have occurred or else the new man is some hum dinger. Cordele Dispatch. The Twelfth District Fair ranks next to the state fair in size and importance. Don’t forget to come to Dublin this year for the exhibits will surpass anything ever attempted in Laurens coun tv before.—Dublin Courier-Her ald. We heard a leading banker re mark a few days ago that he had seen more money and more evi dences of money in the past few weeks than he had ever seen be-. fore. This is encouraging, even ! if the gentleman has had no op- 1 portunity to visit country news paper shops. If ten ivr cent of the money paid out by Montgomery county citizens over their annual new j county row could be spent for improved cattle and hogs and things of real benefit the people could scarcely realize in a few years that they were living on the same soil. It would surprise the merchants of Mt. Vernon, or any other town in Montgomery county, to know the size of the volume of money pouring out of this county every day to the department stores North and the whiskey shops of Jacksonville. A lot of this outgo might be checked by proper ad vertising and enterprise on their part. ... TTTTTWWTVTTTTTTTTTT*. ► Georgia State ◄ J Press Expressions, j •AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA With the tremendous amount of brains in evidence in this coun try it is passing strange that we can not marshal sufficient inven tive genius to manufacture our own dye stuffs and other com modities that are cut off by the war in Europe. We are a great people in some respects, but pig mies in others. —■ Rochelle New ; Era. It should be law that no new county should be created until there has been a majority vote in its favor of all the qualified voters in the county, or counties, from which it is proposed to take the territory to make the new county. This is justice, not poli tics.—Perry Home Journal. Money in circulation at home is the best way to prosperity. Don’t you fuss about bad roads and hard times if you patronize the mail order houses and help to build the fine highways, streets and public builging in the north andeast.- Walker Co. Messenger. Georgia democrats should, and we must believe they will, fall in line in the matter of helping out the democratic'national campaign fund. A cool hundred thousand dollars is needed. President Wil son has been good to Georgia. Supi>ose each of us gave even a dollar, what a fund that would make! —Dawson News. Those who have been charging that the new rural credits law is merely a makeshift should read the story in the last issue of the Saturday Evening Post telling how a few middle westerm farm ers have tested it out and found it perfectly workable and entirely successful. Dublin Courier-Her ald. The new British armored car that jumps trenches and de molishes houses, tree stumps and barbed wire is a direct slap at Henry Ford’s product. Macon News. A negro in Middle Georgia picked 839 pounds of cotton in a day. We trust the Pennsylvania Railway gang doesn’t get hold of this Southern treasure in ebony. —Savannah Press. The “German artillery fire is not so heavy,” according to the dispatches. Germany is like an old rooster which has become windbroken from hard fighting and merely hits back in a weak manner when thrusts are landed against him.—Valdosta Times. Judge Fite of the Cherokee Circuit lost in his race for re election this time and goes out at the close of his present term. It will take great business on the part of his successor to keep up the stir and remain in the public eye as well as did Judge Fite. We know a Georgia editor who can do the publicity stunt for the new judge with good grace.— Cordele Dispatch. The defeat of J. D. Price as Commissioner of Agriculture by J. J. Brown was somewhat of a surprise in some sections of the state, but wherever the farmers were organized Brown got a solid support He was at the head of the Farmers Union of the state and we leel satisfied that he has at last come into his own.— Springfield Herald. Canadians are said to be guard ing their canning factories to pro tect their food supply. It would be an awful thing for Georgia if canning factories outside the state were compelled to shut 1 down all winter, because Georgia gets a mountain of filled cans an nually from beyond her borders. She will be happier when she fills, as well as empties, all the 'cans she uses.—Savannah News. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, SEPT. 28 1910. Veterinarians Needed For Georgia Livestock Industry Worth $100,000,000 Requires Protection Andrew M. 80ULE, President Geor gia State College Os Agriculture The aggregate of our live stock In terests Is not generally appreciated for the animals now owned on Georgia | farms are easily worth $100,000,000. i \ In 1910 the state was credited in the : federal census with owning about S7B,- . . 000,000 worth of live stock. Within a I period of six years, therefore, there I has been an increase In the value of ; live stock of approximately $22,000,000, and this in the face of the fact that the shipment of a very considerable number of mules to Europe on ac count of the war conditions prevailing there has tended to reduce not only the number but the value of our ani mals as well. At the present time there are only about fifty licensed vet- ! erlnarluns practicing in the state of Oeorgla. Most of these live in towns I and cities, and there are many farmers j in the state who are more than one ] hundred miles from a competent vet- j erlnarian; and even if they could se cure his services in time, it would be ! at an almost prohibitive cost. It may thus be said with propriety that farm ers living out in the open country would find it extremely difficult to se cure the aid of a competent veterina rian, and that this condition is not likely to be remedied until provision is made for the training of a very consid erable number of men in the underly ing principles of veterinary medicine. That some provision for instruction of this character should be made is evidenced by the very considerable number of applications received from young men who desire to study veter inary medicine. In view of this fact, the trustees of the Georgia State Col lege of Agriculture have endeavored to meet the situation by authorizing the establishment of the first two years of a degree course in veterinary medicine. This will be open to any young man In Georgia seventeen years of age and who is able to present four teen units for entrance. It is the earn est hope of the trustees that at the end of two years through the aid of the state they may be able to add the Junior work of training veterina rians within the state who are ac quainted with local conditions, in sym pathy with the people living in the open country, and who naturally be- j lieve In Georgia and its future possi- | billties along live stock production. Co-Operation In Buying Farm Machinery i L. C. HART, Professor Os Agr. Engi- ! neering, Ga. State College Os Agr. Many fanners of Georgia will never ' be nble to participate in the benefits i of some lines of farm machinery until ; such machines have been purchased co-operatively. For one farmer to buy all of them would tie up too much cap ital. It would not *uiy. Hut for sev eral farmers to buy and get use of such machinery, good profits will fol low. The purchase of threshing machin ery, farm tractors, harvesting ma chines, silo fillers, corn shredders, > etc., may be Instanced. Special es- ; fort is to be made by Agricultural En j glneering department of the College to get farmers in communities to pur chase farm machinery In this way. The White Star Pressing Club.

I N It Always Helps M says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In k writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s mjm tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use gQjg Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able pM to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles Sc 9 r~3 of Cardui, 1 began to feel like a new woman. I soon ppj gained 35 pounds, and now, Ido all my housework, |jjjjq£? as well as run a big water mill. mod I wish every suffering woman would give E cardub E Q The Woman’s Tonic jg 3 a trial I still use Cardui when I feel .a little bad, and it always does me good.” Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui rTI [pj for your trouble.
