We Need You--Ceme With Us--
The importance of securing the Dixie Highway is
all important for Fitzgerald. Ben Hill county has done
a great deal towards getting the proposition advanced to
its present state of perfection, we have built our line of
the Highway, thirteen miles as good a road as there is
in the state, and havn contributed our $2OO towards the
construction of the bridges in Pierce county. We have
thus far done everything that we have been called on te
do and we are about in sight of the finish. Tomorrow,
Thursday, Commissioner Anderson will make an inspec
tion tour of our route, it may depend upon this inspec
tion and the interest shown along the route whether our
investment of time and money will bring us the hoped for
result and that we may secure the official route of the
Dixie Highway. We all rcalize that itis worth the
price, then let each of you that can, join this inspection
tour aad make a last effort to impress the commission
with the earnestness of the"people along this route for
its future maintainance. Come with us on this trip, see
what has been done to make travel a pleasure between
here and Jacksonville and then learn what it really
means for those people down below Waycross to build
roads with but little hope of reward or direct benefit, as
the territory is{but sparscly settled. They have made
sacrifices such as we cannot conceive of. The success of
this venture means a great deal to Fitzgerald {and Ben
Hill county, it may be the making of the city beautiful
and prosperous beyond our dreams. Come and join us.
Adding Millions To The Farm
An educational leader in Arkansas estimates that within the next ten
years farm demonstration work will enrich the agricultural interests of that
state to the extent of a billion dollars, and that the South ds'a whole will
profit proportionately. Far from being extravagant or fanciful, his predic
tion is well within the soberest probabilities. : shsge it
The fact is, one cannot overestimate the productive 'v:;\lue‘(_)_f scientific
methods duly applied to the problems and opportunities of the soil. r’(_}g:or
'gia is millions of dollars richer as a result of the activities of the Boys’ Corn
«lubs. during the last few years. Millions of dollars will be saved annually
Dby a successful fight against the boll weevil .and other pc\s-ts of plant or
animal life. Millions of money that flow to distant sections for the pur
chase of grain, meat and such necessaries will remain within the state when
Georgia raises her own foodstuffs. Millions of new wealth ma‘)-h spring
from a single discovery or from a single season of improved cultivatibn.
Hence the incauculable importance of the work for which the Smith-
Lever act provides and for which our legislature at its recent session Z‘adc
mecessary appropriations. Every dollar of: state or federal funds that is
used efficiently for this purpose will produce ultimately hundreds and
thousands of dollars in the way of farm wealth and public benefits. It is
a matter of common knowledge that the agricultural resources of the
South are as yet at the initial stage of their possible development. The
crops now drawn from our soil are not a tithe of what will come forth
when the soil is studied and treated as science directs. As the surest
means toward turning agricaltural knowledge into power, farm demon
“tration is of immeasurable value to the South.—Atlanta Journal.

all kind of bother ! A smooth running, satisfactory
range, like your sewing machine, is not an accident
or a matter of guess work. It is the result of months of
study and experimenting and costs the maker thousands
of dollars before it is perfected. :

“Would to God. your work had
started fifty years ago,” was the com
ment of an Arizon_a consumptive, in
writing the other,day to Dr. Hoyt E:
Dearholt, executive secretary of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Associ
ation. Part of the letter follows:
“Fine work, old- chap! That de
crease in the death rate seems a re
markable- gain to me. I had not ex
pected results as soon as.that. I have
always laughed at the authorities who
‘claixilcd,thét'ir) ten.years a case of tu
herculosis wotlld be as rare as one
of smallpox is to-day. The bad work
of centiries cannot be undone in ten
years, and so' I marvei at your won
derful progress. I trust the errors in
| sta.tistAics, if.any, are all m your favor.
You inspire me. Would t 6 God your
‘work had started- fifty. years’ ago.
Probably then the disease would have
‘missed me.” ‘)
| The letter contained a check for
[Red’Cross Seals, from the sale of
‘which_the entire support of the Wis

you buy is a bullet.in the fight against
