Georgia Potatoes.
That Georgia grown sweet po
tatoes, properly cured and ship-
Ded, will find a ready market in
the states of the middle west, is
the opinion of H. W. Bingham,
county agent of Washington coun
ty. Mr. Bingham was in the offic
es of the Georgia Farm Bureau
Thursday, en route to Washing
ton county, after a vacation of
seventeen days, spent touring
through Illinois, Ohio and India
na.
During that time Mr. Bingham
says he conducted an inquiry as
to how Georgia sweet potatoes
were liked in these states. He
savs that wherever he went he
found that everybody seemed to
like the sweet potatoes when they
could get them properly cured.
“I went into 207 restaurants in the
three states I visited,” said Mr.
Bingham, “and four.d that with
the exception of about twenty,
none of them used more than a
bushel of sweet potatoes a week.
But it wasn’t because these res
taurant owners didn’t want to
serve them, or because their pa
trons would not eat them. It was
because they could not get them
throughout the year.
“They all said sweet potatoes
were.'good stuff,’ when I asked
them how they liked them, and
that they wanted more, provided
they reached them in good condi
tion. They don’t want rotten or
frostbitten potatoes, but they
want good ones,”
Mr. Bingham said he found all
ot’ 1 r reason why sweet potatoes
were not popular was mainly be
cause people throughout the mid
dle west did not know about them,
how to prepare them, or of their
food value.
“We should advertise out’Geor
gia’swe d potatoes,” he continued.
'‘Advertising will market Georgia
V
marketed properly there will al
ways be a bigger demand for them
I han the state can supply.”
Mr. Bingham said that in Wash
ington county, the Washington
County F rm Bureau had signed
p a total of 31,000 bushels of
sweet potatoes, which would be
i arketed through the sweet pota
to division of tlae Georgia Farm
Bureau Marketing Exchange. This
.county exchange, according to
state f irm bureau officials, it is
the first completed unit in the
skveet potato organization, but

Third Divorce at 91;
Through With Women
CHICAGO, Aug. G. —Ambrose J.
Rose, 91, is through with women
for life, he announced last week
alter he had obtained a divorce
from his third wife. “The wom
en are getting worse every gener
ation,” he said. “My first wife
was pretty good, my second was
medium, and the third was no
good at all. Women are no long
er home loving, and 1 am through
with them.
This story illustrates the story
that we heard of the man who
had married three times, and died
and went up to heaven and be
sought Peter to let him in and
said, "I married down yonder and
had lots of trouble, and I want
rest.”
“Well, what else do you claim
entrance to heaven?” “Well, I mar
ried again and had much more
trouble, so let me in.” “Well,” said
Peter, "what else do you want en
trance?” “Well,” said the man, “I
married the third time and I just
must get in.” “Well,” said Peter,
“we have let men who have acted
the fool, but we dont want all of
fools up here, so go to the place
prepared for just your class ot
fools, you can’t enter here.”
that many more were now being
formed and would affiliate with
the exchange.
“in our county,” Mr. Bingham
conuiiued, “we have agreed to
spend 3 cents per bushel oil adver
tising and about the first or mid
dle of September we will send
two women demonstrators to the
middle west to advertise Georgia
sweet potatoes. We want to tell
the world of the value of sweet
potatoes.”
Mr. Bingham said the only cer
tain way to cure potatoes so that
they might be stored and kept in
good condition indefinitely, was
by the kilndrying method. He
said that a recent big shipment of
kiln dried sweet potato s 'were
sent from Georgia to London, Eng
land. arriving there in perfect
condition.
“Sweet potatoes offer a big op
portunity to the farmers of Geor
gia,” Mr. Bingham said, “and in
Washington county we are be
ginning to realize it, and are going
ahead with plans for cashing in
on them.”

IjECAUSE we put the utmost quality into this
one brand* Camels are as good as it’s pos
sible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of
fine tobaccos to make a cigarette.
Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this
in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the
best cigarette it’s possible to buy. Nothing is done
simply for show.
Take the Camel package for instance. It’s the
most perfect packing science can devise to pro
tect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper
—secure foil wrapping—revenue stamp to seal
the fold and make the package air-tight. But
there’s nothing flashy about it. YouTl find no
extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows.
Such things do not improve the smoke any more
than premiums or coupons. And remember —you
must pay their extra cost or get lowered quality.
If you want the smoothest, mellowest, mildest
cigarette you can imagine—and one entirely free
from cigaretty aftertaste,
It’s Camels for you.
