COCKFIELD. 1530 ML Vernon, Ga. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, AUGUST i ISIS. Making Something Out of Nothing. The dictionary tells us that garbage is “animal and vegetable refuse from the kitchen,” and then jumps to the quick conclu sion “hence anything worthless. ” This truth is, however, that garbage is far from being worth less” unless the housewife makes it so by allowing tin cans, bottles, broken crockery and other foreign materials to get into it with the kitchen and table waste. Clean 'garbage, free from those sub stances that should go into the rubbish barrel instead of being thrown with the garbage, can be used in a number of ways either aB hog feed or in the manufacture of high explosives, soap, and fer tilizers. Because it is imperative if we are going to win this war that every resource of the nation should be conserved, a campaign is now on foot to utilize all gar bage in one or more of these ways. The Food Administration asks the housewives to help in this campaign by not only seeing to it that the household garbage is free from rubbish, but in in fluencing public opinion to de mand that all garbage be utilized and not wasted by being burnt or buried. It is because the American peo ple in general do not stop to count the enormous loss to the nation of valuable material, made doubly valuable now by the war, that they allow their garbage to become what the dictionary de fines it to be “worthless materi al.” But one ton, of clean garbage used for hog feed will produce one hundred pounds of firm, white pork. If used in reduction plants one ton of garbage will produce sufficient glycerine for the explosive charge of fourteen fourteen 75 millimeter shells, suf ficient “fatty acid” for the manu facture of 100 12 ounce cakes of soap, sufficient fertilizer elements to grow eight bushels of wheat, and other valuable materials. Does this not make it worth the effort to keep garbage free from such foreign matter as phonograph needles, broken glass and crockerv, tin cans, paper or ashes and to use every possible means to influence public opinion in your neighborhood, at least, to demand that the garbage should be used either as hog-feed or in reduction plants? Food Administrators Endorse Motor Transport Atlanta, July 29th —The move ment to utilize motor trucks on Rural Express Lines has received the endorsement of a number of state food administrators. The Highways Transport Committee of the Council of National Defense has received a very general and prompt response to its suggestion that motor trucks be utilized to facilitate the movement of perish able food products to shipping and consuming centers. This will relieve farmers of some of the task of hauling so that they may devote more time to actual crop production in the field dur ing the period of labor shortage, Reports received from many sections indicate that farmers have been inclined to decrease the production of perishable food stuffs, owing to the time required for hauling to markets. Small lots of fruits, vegetables and other produce which could ordi narily be marketed have been left on the farm because of labor shortage. Rural Motor Express gathers up such produce and de livers it to market promptly, thereby operating to increase the local food supply of perishables and to aid in the campaign to save staple food stuffs. FOR REPRESENTATIVE. Haying been solicited by numer ous friends, I hereby announce my j candidacy for the office of repre sentative of Montgomery county,! subject to the Democratic pri mary. 1 will appreciate the votes and influence of all the people, assuring them that it will be my purpose to serve them iu good | faith aud to the best of my abili ty. lam Yours respectfully, J. R. Apams. I MAY MAKE STAND | AT VESLE RIVER Germans Remove Supplies as They Retreat to North. Special service Ut Montgomery Monitor. Washington.—The ultimate destina- \ lion of the Germans is believed to be ] the Vesle river. This would make the line practically j direct from Soissons to Rheims. Amy men here are inclined to feel that probably the German was able to j remove or destroy considerable of hi's ; supplies, after bringing'up strong re inforcements to battle the advancing allies. The local officers, however, \ saw that the present Teuton retreat : was inevitable, and they believe it will \ be as far as the Vesle. There is still a considerable belief that the Teutons will attempt to smash elsewhere byway of retrieving the losses thus far inflicted by the al lies. Whether this will be in Italy or elsewhere along the western front can be only conjectured. The conversion of the latest Ger 1 man drive into a rout of the Germans, - with the clearing of the Soissons- | Rheims salient, is hailed here as a very fine victory for the allied arms. ————————— ■ I Von Hussarek New Premier Os Austria Vienna. —Baron von Hussarek, for mer minister of education, has been appointed to the Austrian premiership, in succession to Doctor von Seydler, whose cabinet resigned recently. Be fore he was nominated prime minister Baron von Hussarek explained to the chamber of deputies that he intended to form a cabinet of functionaries without political character, introduc ing parliamentarians Into the ministry later. Admiral Tells Why Submarines Fail Amsterdam. —The chief of the Ger man admiralty staff, Admiral von Holt zendorff, has explained to the best of his ability, the reason why German U-boats are not sinking American transports. He says that owing to the many points of debarkation that are at the disposal of the Americans from the north of Scotland to the Med iterranean, the irregularity of the com ing of the transports and the strong destroyer guards which accompany them, It Is inexpedient for the U-boats to lurk off all these harbors. Over 250 U. S. Warships In War Zone London.—" There is no branch of Anglo-American activity in which co operation and comradeship are more marked and more complete than in the navy,” said Sir Eric Geddles, first lord of the British admiralty, speak ing at the American Luncheon club. “There are more than 250 American warships now based on this side,” Sir Eric said, “and Mr. Roosevelt (Amer ican assistant secretary of the navy) i has assured us this number will In crease faster in the future than in the past.” Colored People Pass Worthy Resolutions. , To the President, members, ladies, gentlemen and friends of the Swainsboro district, greet ings; Since we as constituents in this world-wide war, have made our race so famous, for our unbound ed loyalty, bravery and patriotism with the more favored races, and Whereas, We the people of the Swainsboro district have raised thirty thousand dollars or over in war stamps saying nothing of the thousands raised byway of Liberty Bonds.

Vernon Presbyterian church last 1 summer to assume Y. M. C. A. work, and who has been connect with a number of military camps during the past year, has recently been commissioned a chaplain in the U. S. armv. with orders to report for duty in France. He is doubtless en route for Europe. Building up a Reserve. It has been said, truthfully, that the return ticket of our boys in France will be secured largely through American savings of wheat, sugar, meats and fats. The boys in the trenches will win in just such proportion as they are backed up by the folks at home. It is essential that there be built up in this country a reserve supply of food just as it is neces sary that the army be guaranteed clothing, guns and ammunition. Saving money alone will not guarantee a food supply. Nature seems fickle sometimes and 1919 and 1920 may be lean years. Therefore out of the abundance of 191 S America must save even as she saved of the 1917 crops to feed her army and navy and share with the armies and civil ians of those too busy fighting the Hun to find time to cultivate their own food crops. LOANS ON FARM LANDS. Loans on improved farm lands of Montgomery County can be placed promptly at 5 l-2c in terest in amounts of SI,OOO and above, with the privilege of re paying part of the principal at any interest bearing periods in amounts of SIOO or multiples thereof, thereby stopping the in terest on amount paid. Loans can be made for periods of 57, or 10 years to suit the borrower. Commissions charged are reason able. M. B. Calhoun, Mt. Vernon, Ga, R. E. Ward, Soper ton, Ga. Campaign to Increase The Leather Supply. To relieve as mucn as possible the unprecedented demand for leather, the United States De partment of Agriculture is urging that slaughtered and dead ani mals on the farm be skinned with great care. Usually the skinning of animals on the farm and the care of hides is not given a great amount of consideration and through carelessness many hides are cut and scored when they are removed. By devoting a little extra time and care in skinning animals to make sure that they are not cut or scored the farmer can increase their value on the market several times. In tanning hides scores show very plainly and in many cases one-half of the thickness of the leather is lost by , such defects.
