You.
As h 11 growing things on earth
into new life in Springtime, so do
billion.s of cells that make up each
of the body renew their vigor.
As you open the windows,
the spring air, and let in the sunshine,
the red corpuscles in your blood
carry more oxygen to the tiny cells.
The red corpuscles tire tiny disc-shap¬
ed particles, swimming in enormous
numbers in the blood. They carry oxy
gen to the cells in all parts of the body,
and they carry away worn-out waste
inattcr. Sometimes, especially in the
Spring, after the winter indors and
more or less sickness, the red corpus¬
cles themselves need rebuilding.
Glide's Pepto-Mangan contains just the
ingredients to give them greater
er to absorb oxygen and to
it throughout the body.
That is why it is such a good spring
tonic, it helps so much to bring back
color t the cheeks mhde pale and wan

to the number of red corpuseles. With
fine Spring days and Gude’s Pepto

NEWTON COUNTY ALLOTTED
DELEGATES TO S. S. CON.
Newton county has been alloted
twenty as a minimum quota of del¬
egates for the State Sunday School Con
vention, to be held in Macon on April
10. 20. 21, hv the Committee on Arran¬
gements. All Sunday School workers
who desire to attend may do so, but the
counties reaching their quota will re¬
ceive special recognition. Special re¬
cognition will also he given the coun¬
ty that has loo per, cent attendance of,
its county officers. The county offi-t
cers will help make up the delegates,
as well as count on this 100 per cent at¬
tendance. It is expected that every
section of the state will be represented
at the State Convention, and it is be¬
lieved that Newton county will exceed
its quota of delegates. Bow railroad
rates on the certificate plan have been
granted. Board for the delegates will
be provided at reasonable rates. No
registration fee will be charged. Pas¬
tors. Sunday School superintendents,
teachers, other school and class offi¬
cers, will receive great inspiration from
attending the convention:

NEMATODE RESISTANT UOW
TEAS
Cow peas arc important in a well es¬
tablished system of soil improvement,
because 'they supply humus so much
needed in our soils, and also a heap of
nitrogen. Their value as nitrogen
%
gatherers is due to the bacteria which
the roots forming the numerous nodules
with which growers are familiar.
The bacteria which form the nodules
are small forms of plant life, and do not
seriously injure the cow pea roots with
which they are associated.
In contrast with the helpful bac¬
teria. there is a very small animal par¬
asite, called an nematode or eel worm,
which also attacks the roots of cow
peas. These nematodes are harmful to
the oowpeas because they injure the
roots by breaking up the water-con¬
ducting vessels. They cause an irri¬
tation which results in the formation or
galls or root knots. These galls might
lie mistaken for the beneficial bacter¬
ial nodules by the casual observer, as
both may be found on the same plant.
As the harmful nemetodes multiply
very rapidly under favorable condit¬
ions they might offset the good done b”
the beneficial bacteria.
Numerous experiments have been
made from time to time in treating soil
to kill the nematodes, hut these have
all proven impractical, being to expen¬
sive to apply on a field scale. The fail¬
ure of soil treatments lead to the search
for resistant plants, and years ago it
was found that a variety of cow pea,
the Iron, was resistant to the root-knot
nematode. This variety was recom¬
mended for use on nematode infested
soil. This lead growers to use more
productive varieties, and in the search
for high-yielding varieties which are
very susceptible to root-knot.
Tests conducted at the Georgia Ex
periment station have shown that the
Groit cow pea, a popular high-yielding
variety, is seriously attacked by the
root-knot nematode, while dther varie¬
ties, such as the Brabham and the Vic¬
tory. a new variety developed by the
United States Department of Agricul¬
ture. wihch are also high yielders are
resistant to the attack of the root-knot
nematode, thus making these later va¬
rieties much better adapted to use On

Another striking statement in con¬

“I am enjoying better health today,” j
said Miss O’Hara, than 1 nave m
.years and I am glad to make the state- i '
ment that it may cause others who are
needing something to build them up to
learn about Tanlac.”
“Five years ago I was operated on
for appendicitis and was never able un¬

back. My health was bad for a long j
time, even before the operation, and I 1
just seemed gradually going from bad i
to worse. 1
“1 just think it is the most wonder¬
ful thing I ever heard of what
three bottles of Tanlac should make me
feel so fine after l had suffered so J
long. ,It has given me new life, J
strength and energy that makes living j

Amber Long in Use. I
The modern use of oil of amber,
both externally and internally, is often 1
mentioned. It has been denied that j
amber was known to the Greeks in |
very early times, the Greek electron
having been used as a name both for !
it and for an amalgam of gold ami
silver, a species of gold ore washed
flown by the Bactolus; but amber has
actually been found at Mycenae;' *j ti
the fact that the electron necklace
mentioned in the Odyssey is ,sahli.l<>

much.
The Phoenicians are known to lmv
introduced amber into tlie East, a: 1
Herodotus says it was brought froffi

Pets of Prisoners.
Visitors to prison have noticed tl::d
prisoners, like other tolk. are fond of
pets and that their pet is generally i
canary or other species>of bird Tt • ...
is a reason for ibis; A bird takes ir
little room and requires little food
whereas larger animals could not very
ensily lie kept in confinement. il"s
prisons have rules forbidding inma;
to keep pets, hut visitors to several ti¬
the smaller prisons have someth):
observed mice as well as birds and ; r
occasional dog sharing cells with urN
oners. In one of the large strife pris¬
ons a long-term prisoner was permit
ted to have as pets several dogs of tip
toy variety.—New York Times.
JOIN THE LOCAL
FARM BUREAU
It has been agreed by all that to ac¬
complish any good for the farmer all
must combine and work together. An
industry as trig as farming must not be
satisfied with anything bu a strong rep¬
resentation in the affairs of the world.
So far. farmers have not been very suc¬
cessful in their attempts to unite and
get this strong representation that they
deserve. But, now, here comes an or¬
ganization, your county farm bureau,
which includes all farmer organizations
and workes with all those influences
that assist the farmer.
The American Fain Bureau is the
head organization, and represents all
those 1,500,00 farmers who belong to
the county farm bureaus. Forty-four
states are represented in this national
federation, and over a thousand coun¬
ties in these states. Iowa alone has
120,00 farm bureau members and Illi¬
nois has 100,00. Practically every
county in these central westrn states
has a farm bureau, and the majority of
the fariners are members. Georgia has
now forty-one counties organized with
farm bureaus and the plans are to or¬
ganize a farm bureau in every county
in the state.
It is evident then that when you join
your county farm bureau that you join
with the farmers of forty-four states,
and, all are interested in those things
which concern you and your business.
If the farmers of the south could hear
the farmers of the north and cerftrnl
west tell about what their farm bu¬
reaus have done, then every one would
join the county farm bureau cpiickly.
The problems in those sections are not
so different from the ones in this sec¬
tion. The,farm bureaus have proven
the best 'for these many ills.
To accomplish what the farm bu¬
reaus have set out to do every farmer
must work with his neighbor. Every
one must go along together, for if one
goes one way and another goes anoth¬
er way the result will be that both will
be lost. The county farm bureau is an
open organization of all the farmers of
Trit.’ c*7untT ivm* • ’ tnim -ontag 0
of the work, and it is for every farmer
to see that his neighbor is a member.

The work of the farm bureau is to
assist in co-operative marketing, cut
the cost of production, to cut the cost
of distributing farm products, and to
represent the farmer in all legislation
that in any way affects his business.
The success of this work is dependent
on co-operation and faith in your
