HOG SALE AT AILEY IS
POSTPONED TO LATER DATE
The co-operative hog sale scheduled
for Ailey on the 22nd, has been post
poned until a later date, according to
the announcement of County Agent
Tyre.
The sale planned for Alston on the
20th will be held at that time. The
sale atAiley has been deferred on ac
count of this date conflicting with the
sale at Mcßae. Since most of the
buyers in a given territory attend all
sales, the reason for carrying over the
Ailey sale is readily seen. The date
for this sale will be given later.
At the proper season Agent Tyre
will hold in Montgomery county a
number of sales of beef cattle. The
first of these will doubtless be held
at Ailey.
The farmers and stock raisers have
learned to appreciate the value of co
operative sales, and they are well at
tended in this county.

TWO MONTGOMERY BOYS
WILL ATTEND ATLANTA FAIR
The county demonstration agent in
each county is allowed to select two
boys to attend the Southeasern Fair
in Atlanta, undert he plan which has
been in effect for thre or four years.
The boys are selected by competi
tive examination, and no boy who has
had this privilege is eligible for fur
ther honors. Each boy is required
to pay a fee of $5 to cover incidental
expenses, but railroad fare is refund
ed each boy on arrival at Atlanta.
Notice of the date on which the
Montgomery county examination will
be held will be published later. The
fair school, lasting a week, will be
gin October 17th and close October
22nd. Aside from the entertainment
provided, the boys are given instruc
tion in agriculture and stock raising.
The trip is free, and includes both
meals and lodging.
Boys who contemplate taking the
examination should keep in touch with
County Agent Tyre and the county
paper for the date of examination,
which will doubtless be held the lat
ter part of September. Examination
will be along agricultural lines.

RECOMMENDS STANDARD
TREATMENT FOR MALARIA
This is the treatment recommended
by the National Malaria Committee,
and indorsed by the Federal, State,
County and Municipal Healtn uepart
ments.
Heavy doses of quinine taken daily
for a few days or a week or two only
will nearly always stop chills and fe
ver (malaria), but the fever will in
most cases come back in a few days
or a few weeks or months. This is
because the quinine kills most of the
little animal parasites in the blood
that cause malaria, but when given
for a short time or in small doses it
does ; not kill certain forms that are
more difficult to destroy, and these in
time cause the fever to return.
But if the proper dose of quinine
is taken every day for eight weeks all
these little' animals will be killed in
the vast majority of cases and the
chills and fever will not reiuin.
It is true that newly infected mos
quitoes may reinfect you, but most ot
the malaria cases are recurrences of
ttneured cases and if you take the
eight weeks treatment you stand a
pood chance to stay free from the dis
ease. In fact, you are nearly sure
to remain free from the fever, if you
use good screens or mosquito bars,
for this mosquito bites you only when
you are quiet at night.
Your druggist is, at our request,
aiding in the great work of saving
lives |and preventing suffering and
economic waste by furnishing you
these treatments at a very reasonable
figure, in fact, less than half the reg
ular price, but in order to do this he
must sell for cash only and cannot
break the package.
This treatment is not intended to
take the place of your doctor. Have
a docor alw'hys when you are sick.

HIP 10 SAVANNAH
Jefferson Godowns, Louis Ricks and
Chess Moxley, three Montgomery
county boys who attended the stock
judging conest at Savannah, have
written interesting accounts of their
trip which are given below:
On Wednesday, Augus 23rd, at the
farm of Mr. W. T. McArthur, Jr.,
a livestock judging contest for the
club members of • Montgomery coun
ty was held to determine which three
boys would represent Montgomery
county in the district livestock judg
ing contest in Savannah Aug. 28th.
There were about 23 club members
at the farm of Mr. McArthur. The
contest was conducted by Mr. Hart,
cox ty agent of I.auiens county, as
sis'c by Mr. T. B. Tyre, county
agent of Montgomery.
About 2 o’clock in the afternoon the
decision of the fudges was made, and
1 the names of the three boys who
made the highest averages were read
out. I was one of the lucky three,
rlso Chess Moxley and Louis Ricks,
to represent Montgomery county at
Savannah.
I left home. Sunday, August 27th,
for Savannah. Chess Moxley and
Louis Ricks, accompanied by Mr.
Tyre, left Monday morning through
the country, also Mr. Hart and the
three boys from Laurens county.
There were five counties represented
at the contest —Laurens, Montgomery,
! Tattnall, Washington and Candler.
After eating a fine dinner, we left for
a large livestock and dairy farm.
There was also a bread-making con
test for the girls of the district, about
: six counties being represented by the
: girls.
Monday night the club members,
! boys and girls, were given free tickets
to a theatre, which every one enjoyed
very much.

J. C. McALLISTER, Ordinary.
Tuesday morning we went to some
large stock farms, where we finished
judging about 11 o'clock. Returning
to Savannah, Mr. Hart and Mr. Tyre
took the boys from Montgomery and
Laurens counties to visit the docks
and the large ships, where we saw
some interesting things. Tuesday af
ternoon the boys and girls were given
free tickets to Tybee. On reaching
Tybee the girls sang many beautiful
songs in which the boys took part,
and we also gave many yells. As we
got to Tybee the judge said he was
ready to announce the winners.
Tattnall county won he prize for
the district, a, free trip to the South
eastern Fair, where they will enter
the contest against other districts for
a trip to the National Livestock Expo
sition in Chicago. Those who did not
win the prize won a knowle lge about
livestock which will be of some bene
fit to them in the future.
After the announcement of the
judge, we all were given free bathing
tickets. T think the boys and girls
enjoyed themselves more at Tybee
than anywhere else, except baking
broad and judging livestock. The
girls remained at Tybee for supper,
while the hoys returned to Savannah.
Soon Wednesday morning the boys
and their county agent began to de
part for home. I am sure everybody
had a good time while in Savannah.
T want to thank the district agent and
the county agents and judge and all
who made it possible for us hoys to
go to Savannah. T also wish to ex
press my aprcciation for the courte
sies shown us by the owners of the
livestock farms.

after arriving there was to eat dinner,,
then we went and judged three rings
of cows and hogs. We then went
back to the hotel and from there to
the theatre, and the next morning we
went and judged two more rings of
cattle. Coming back, we went and
looked at some ships at .he dock and
that evening we went to Tybee and
went in bathing. There I saw my
first airplane on the ground. I n
joyed my trip very much. I saw too
many unusual things to mention all of
them. We made several stops going
and coming.
I want to thank the agents very
heartily for the interest they took in
us.
LOUTS RICKS.
We left Mt. Vernon Monday morn
ing about daylight and arrved in Sa
vannah about 11:30. We took dinner
at the Martinique Hotel ,and then we
all got together and went to the
Chatham County Farm to judge some
Hampshire hogs. From there we
went to a dairy farm to judge some
Jerseys. There we found some as
fine rows as Georgia affords.
Early the next morning we went
tventv miles north of Savannah to
judge some Guernseys and Angus cat
tle. There we found some fine cows
and some nice Duroc hogs. Tues
day afternoon we all caught the train
for Tvhee, where we had a nice time.
We had a fine time going in bathing.
We went down on the Savannah nver
and saw some large government boats
and some sailors polish ng a very nice
boat. Tbev had some large guns on
them. We also saw them loading
cotton. We went to the Lucas The
atre and there we saw a fine play.
We saw an auto wreck or two, but
nobody was njtired.
We left Savannah Wednesday morn
ing at 7 o’clock and arrived at Mt.
Vernon at 2:30 p .m. We all bad a
verv fine time, but hope to have a
much better time next year.

bred sows. We believe it would be
to the interest of every farmer to look
forward to better livestock on the
farm, hogs that would produce the
greatest yield of meat and lard on the
, same feed consumed. As.it is well
known that pure bred registered hogs
will produce very near twice as many
pounds in a given time as a scrub
. and on the same feed. We there
fore believe with the existing boll wee
vil, it would be well for the farmers
to think along these lines, for the
heavy burden of taxation that must
be met, with the hold-over debts of fer
tilizers and supplies, with the urgent
need of the necessary equipment, the
farmer turns to his present produc
tion of -cotton and finds that it will
not be sufficient to meet the demands
What will help? Take the different
productions of the farm, one by one,
and the hog offers the most encour
agement. Two litters of pigs a year,
means a quick return on the money
invested. Plenty of home grown feed
eliminates any outlay of
capital, with the market demand fair
ly constant throughout the year, the
hog takes the place of a real mort
