The average hotel or restaurant

What has become of the old

think she never could get a gown

With eighty million dollars sub

that the Sammies are willing to
back their fighting with their dol

On Thanksgiving day this year
let us return thanks to God that
we have plenty of food —not to
use in wastefulness at a feast on
that day, but to save that we may
contribute that much toward the

heavily laden with rich viands on
Thanksgiving day for us to be
grateful to God for His great mer

Think About it Right.
In these days of better roads
and automobile travel there is a
tendency among a number of peo
ple to go shopping in Rome, Chat
tanoog i and Atlanta.
Now, it is all right to do this
under certain circumstances, but
when you come to think about the
matter you will conclude that this
is a good time to give your home
merchant a chance at ycur fall and
winter business.
Let us see where and how you
make the money you spend. Do
you make it farming? If you do,
your local merchant is always
ready to sell you on credit when
it is not convenient to pay cash.
He helps when you take up a col
lection; he pays part of the taxes
in the country; he is a buyer of
the surplus produce of your farm.
Because he does these things his
presence in the community adds
something to the value of every
farm in your section.
This is true of the men in all
walks of life —the preacher, the
doctor, the dentist, the lawyer, the
real estate man. Tney all get a
part of their living out of the mer
chant. Therefore, it is nothing
but right that you give him a fair
deal. Don’t use him as a cpnven
ience when you want to buy a pa
per of pins or ten yards of domes
tic, and then send to Seethem and
Returnem when you want to buy
a pair of silk stockings or a new
hat. Don’t burn up high-priced
gasoline going to a neighboring
town looking for goods that are
sold in your home town for less
money and of the same quality.
Some will say the reason they
go to Rome is because they have
larger and more varied stocks to
select from, and because prices
are lower. Now, any experienced
business man will tell you that,
broadly speaking, goods are sold
cheaper in the small towns than
in the great city emporiums. Of
course, there are special sales,
when certain articles are sold be
low the market; but special sales
occur among the small stores also,
and upon the whole you gain
nothing when you leave your
home merchant and go out of
your community on a bargain
hunt.
Oq the question of “a large and
varied stock to select from,” let
11s see where you stand. Do you
always try to buy at home first?
What would you think of Mr.
Merchant if he were to send out of
town for a lawyer without inves
tigating to see whether there was
a capable one living in his home
community? The services of your
home doctor or dentist might not
be as acceptable, might cost a lit
tle mo e, but would it be wise to
ignore them because there was
j such a poor lino to select from ?
In these strenuous war times
! we must all stand together. Give
your home merchant a boost. It
he doesn’t keep the goods you
want, ask him to order them for
you. Don’t cal' him a pirate and
extortioner. He probably lost
more money on poor people that
he would not sue than you have
given away in your whole lifetime.
We are ail inter-dependent.
The material prosperity of any
community depends on the fellow
ship and good will of all its mem
bers. Buy your goods, your ser
vices of all kinds, at home. In
this way we can build a good com
munity, can usher in the golden
age of the brotherhood of man. —

'‘Going to the Farm”*
We predict an excfllus to ttie
farm next spring. People who
once looked on farming as low or
der of menial labor, are beginning
to plan for a farm next year. It
is well they do this, too. Person
ally, we have always regarded
farming as one of the most pleas
ant (and profitable, too, when
properly managed) occupations
anyone could pursue. It takes ex
perience to make a good farmer
and the only way to get that ex
perience is “dig” for it, but even
the inexperienced man can make
a living farming now. Plenty of
men who have heretofore rented
land in this section have made
enough money to make first pay
ments on farms this year. Some
have even paid half. If the pres
ent war continues two years, and
it begins to look as though it will,
farm products will be a great deal
higher than they are now, espe
cially the food crops. —Telfair En
terprise.

wetting them down a half hour or so before using.
By adding an equal part of water to Buckeye Hulls and
stirring thoroughly they will swell and give you as bulky
a roughage as you want. Most important, the bulki
ness will be due to water which is of value to your cattle
—not to lint which has no food value whatever.

Mr. Benjamin Thompson, Baldknob, Ark.,
is feeding Buckeye Hulls to stock cattle. He says
that he gets more food value per ton with less waste.
He has bought five tons and has them stored in barn.
He says that they occupy less space than old style hulls.
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.
