South to Be In sKdle
At of War.
Frank Hawkins* president of
the Third bank, of At
lanta, returned from
a to New York,
where he*was in conference with
bankers jyid others, found a whis
peredj^ftCthat the south will be
condition after the
war and will continue
Kr a lon^Bme.
somewhat wide-
regarding the
war, Mr. said. “The pre
vailing beref is the war will go on
for at least two years to come,
largely on account of the Russian
situation, and because, too, it will
take up until next spring or sum
mer to get our forces ready to
strike a heavy blow.
“In the meantime, business and
financial interests are considering
possible conditions following the
war. There are those who think
recovery will be slow and business
slack. They express the belief
that European countries will hob
ble along and rebuild slowly. On
the othe*’ hand, there is a strong
ly developed school of business
thought along the line that recov
ery will be rapid, that rebuilding
will go forward with a rush, and
that there will be wide demand
for men and materials at good
prices.
“Bui the best part about it all is
the general sentiment that the
south will be in the saddle, no
matter what turn is taken by bus
iness conditions generally after
the war. I found almost universal
expression to this effect among
business and financial interests.
“It was pointed out that the
world has got to have cottton, our
turpentine and naval stores, our
lumber, our foodstuffs, #n fact
everything we grow and make
down here.”
Democracy.
The discussion of democracy
throughout the world will bring a
partisan advantage to the demo
cratic party. On the continent of
Europe the word “Republican”
has been used more than the word
democrat, and for this reason the
republican party has gained more
than the democratic party from
immigration. But now democracy
is the popular word —democracy
is to be made SAFE.
Monarchies are hastening to put
emphasis on their deomcratic fea
tures. Even in the United States
aristocrats are praising democracy
—men who in the past have spok
en contemptuously of the word
and of what it stands for. De
mocracy grows stronger, and who
knows but that this growth in
democratic sentiment may convert
other European monarchies into
republics.
Some day, democracy will pre
vail everywhere—hail the day !
W. J. Bryan.
If you don’t feel loyal to your
country better take a mental in

The Whole Neighborhood knows.
Mrs Anna Pelzer, 2526 Jeffer
son St., So. Omaha, Neb., writes:
“I can recommend Foley’s Honey
and Tar as a sure cure for coughs
and colds. It cured my daughter
of a bad cold. My neighbor, Mrs,
Benson, cured herself and her
whole family with Foley’s Honey
and Tar, and everyone in our
neighborhood speaks highly of it.”

40,000 Soldiers to Parade.

Pecan men-say there is going to
be tremendous demand for every
pound of these best of nuts that
will be offered for sale this year.
The crop is short as compared
with that of 1916, but the public

Georgia paper shell pecan, and
keen demand will wait on the har
vesting of this season’s supply.—

Is your barn a

WHEN you store a ton of old style cottonseed hulls
you give space to almost 500 pounds of lint and
all the extra bulk that the lint causes.

to the ton —not 1500. No trash or dust.
Priced much less per ton. Sacked —easy to handle.
Every pound goes farther. Mix well with other forage.
Mr. John Wicker, Forest, Miss., says:
that his first experience in feeding Buckeye Hulls was
unsatisfactory as he fed them improperly. He now
soaks the hulls over night, then feeds them and has
very satisfactory results. Mr. Wicker states that these
hulls are more economical than the old style hulls and
thinks that they go almost twice as far as the old style
hulls at a considerably less cost to begin with.
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
Book of Mixed Feeds Free
Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in tlfe
South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat
tening, for work. Describes Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for
using them properly. Send for your copy to the nearest mill.
