MR. MILLS GOES
TO WASHINGTON
Opposed to Fixing Price
of Cotton Seed. Be
lieves Farmers Should
Receives Full Benefit.
Hon. J. H. Mills of Jenkinsburp,
State President of the Farmer
Union, is in Washington this wee k
conferring with Herbert Hoover,
national food administrator, in re
gard to the price of cotton seed.
There is a large delegation in the
party, Mr. Mills and Commissioner
Brown being among the number
from Georgia. The party left Sat
urday morning and were present
at the hearing Monday, Oct. 15.
Mr. Mills and the other South
erners take the position that the
government should not interfere
with cotton seed at this time, and
that the law of supply and de
mand should be allowed to gov
ern the price. In 1915, they point
out, when cotton seed were at a
low ebb and the South was in the
throes of bankruptcy, almost, the
national government refused to
help the cotton farmers. Now
that seed are bringing a fancy
price it is unfair, according to the
contention of Mr. Mills, for the
government to deprive the cotton
farmers of the prosperity that is
their due.
The Georgia party, assisted bv
delegates from other States, will
make a strong fight against the
regulation of the cotton seed mar
ket. —Jackson Progress.
The Farmer’s Day.
Who wouldn’t be a farmer now?
Although no crown rests on his
brow, and though no scepter’s in
his hand, he lord%it o’er this hun
gry land. His bins and barns are
running o’er, yet room there must
be made for more. His bank ac
count grows day by day, and not
a debt is left to pay. It matters
not what crops he’s grown, what
grain he’s threshed or hayfields
mown, whate’er he has the na
tions need their lean and hungry
hordes to feed. They clamor for
his corn and wheat, his cotton, hay,
potatoes, meat, his peanuts, syrup,
velvet beans, and e’en his lowly
collard greens. Whate’er he has
that man can eat, though it be
grain or food or meat, whate’er
he’s raised that beasts can chew
calls forth the coin of yellow hue.
The war wiii rage, but men must
eat if Huns be kept in full retreat,
must eat the stuff the farmer
grows in fertile fields with serried
rows. For now the farmer holds
the key to power to keep free
nations free —to squelch the Turk
and chain the Hun, and make full
sure the job’s well done. The
“horny handed son of toil” who
digs his bread from stubborn soil
has waited long to greet “his day,”
but now it’s come, and come to
stay. —Albany Herald.

Electricity.
There will be shown at practi
cally every State, County and Dis
trict Fair this fall a modern and
simple device for producing elec
tricity on the farm, and making
the electricity do the work which
is now more or less laboriously
performed.
While electric generators have
been in use for some years, they
have not until recently been prac
tical for farm use. They have
been of the old belt driven type,
cooled by water, and were contin
ually giving trouble because of the
water having been boiled away or
frozen. This new type of dynamo
is in one seif contained unit with
the engine; it is air cooled, and
may be operated by kerosene even
more readily than by gasoline.
This greatly reduces the fuel cost,
which, in view of the present high
price of gasoline is particularly
important. Their construction is
so simple that they are set in mo
tion by the movement of a lever,
and will stop automotieally when
the battery is full. Children read
ily operate them, tlie only instruc
tions necessary being a single
demonstration.
There is scarcely any kind of
work that is not easily done by
them. They light the home, the
barn, the dairy, or any place where
light is desired; and brilliant elec
tric light may be had by the sim
ple pressure of a button or the
turning of a switch. Attached to
the pump, they keep the tank fill
ed with fresh water; and luxury of
running water for house, barn or
dairy, is enjoyed just as in the city
supplied by the costly waterworks
system.
Current from these machines
will operate the churn, the sewing
machine, the corn sheller, the
thresher, the cream separator, in
fact any farm machinery of this
sort to which it is attached. In a
word, it provides the farm with
the comforts and conveniences,
due to electricity the same as are
enjoyed in the large cities.
No one should miss the oppor
tunity to see these remarkable
machines in operation at state and
county fairs. Compared to the
comfort and even luxury which
they afford in the country districts
where electric cuarent is unob
tainable, the cost of installing them
is small; and when one sees and
knows that they will really do ail
that is claimed for them and more,
it means the installation of a plant
in the home at the first opportun
ity. Actual demonstrations of
these Delco-Light plants will be
made at practically every fair, and
undoubedly it will prove one of the
most attractive of all exhibits.

SHE CHOOSES A MAXWELL
High Priced Cars Fail to
Do as Well in Mountains
Possessed of a regular fleet of
high powered motor cars, Miss
Charlotte Walker, a society belle
of San Francisco, whose fame as
a motoring tourist extends to all
parts of the United States, chooses
a Maxwell touring car for moun
tain work in preference to the
much higher priced motors.
“The easy of control and sturdy
power of the Maxwell are ideal
for the difficult trails in the Hills,”
Miss Walker says.
She asserts the Maxwell takes
the steep inclines in the mountains
much better than any of her other
possessions. She has toured over
the Rockies, the Selkirks, Grand
Canyon, White Mountains and vis
ited nearly all the beauty spots in
the United States and Canada.
Motoring to inaccessible places is
a much stronger hobby with Miss
Walker than the usual society di
versions to most young women.
She is now planning several
very difficult trips for the early
fall season.
