Thursday Mora in*, May 4, 1922. Will Observe Made in Georgia Week. The week of May 22nd 29th has been formally desigr d and set apart by special proclamation of the governor of th< ate as Made-in-Georgia week. Georgia, an empire state, now sends to other states ai d sections each year for manufaetr ' arti cles and agricultural and mineral products a stream of gold esti mated at one hundred million dollars! Os course that golden flow should never be could never be | shut off entirely, for there are ! products and cornmodii. s that can be produced to better ad vantage in distant sections than in Georgia, but it should be very substantially reduced. It now j stands as an indictment against a state which, while it has made mighty strides in manufacturing and in farming, has hardly in a sense touched the truly magnifi cent resources with which nature has endowed it. The object of Made-in-Georgia week is to familiarize G< orgians with Georgia-grown and < ieorgia manufactured commodities and, through this familiarity, to in crease their consumption in tin state in which they v re pro duced; thus keeping the monej at home, cutting out freight charges to a largo extent, on- j couraging farmers and n nulac turers, and benefiting everybody 1 concerned. Georgia week and its irnpor tan.ee cannot be emphasized tooi greatly, and we hope that it (will be stressed to the utmost by the! publicity tom sos the ta'oand that industrial and ag ultural, leadership will give it the full | benefit of every ounci d their influence and active a?- -Unci', so that this really big d< i can be carried out in a mail ■ way.

LAST BRITISH 'WOODEN WALL' Warship Impregnable, Built Before the Da/a of Steel, la About to Be Broken Up. The Impregnable, probably the ! last wooden battleship to be built for the British navy, has arrived at Woolmich from Plymouth to be broken up, according to the London Daily Express. When launched at Pembroke dock in 1860 she was fit ted with engines. She never went to sea except for her steam trials. The ship’s original name was Howe. She was a line-of-battle ship, I with 121 guns and of 1-100 horse power. Subsequently she was named Bulwark. When the first training ship Impregnable was pronounced unserviceable in 1887 she was re placed by the Bulwark, which was then given her predecessor’s name. She remained alone moored off Cremyll until 1906. She was then joined by the Inconstant and a few years later by the Black Prince, and 1 the three vessels formed the boys’ training establishment. The Im pregnable was, for many years the flagship of the commander in chief at Devonport. LIVING IN A LIGHTHOUSE. The ideal home seeing to have been discovered in the Belle Toute lighthouse at Beachey Head. As a lighthouse, it was put out of action by the mists of the shore, and an other lighthouse had to be built at the foot of the famous cliff, a little way out to sea; hut, as a home, Belle Toute has nearly everything to rec ommend it. On the ground floor 1 there is a sitting room 32 feet by 20 feet, and an octagonal ijining room, from the windows of which one can see the downs and the ships in the channel. From the empty lantern room one may gaze over as fine a piece of landscape and seascape as the fair county of Sussex can show. —Christian Science Monitor. % I I Full line fresh standard field and garden seeds.
