Enter Uncle Sam’s Army
Philadelphia, Dec. 21.—A man
named Henry Ford applied for en
listment today at the local Re
cruiticg office of the United States
Marine Corps,
I have been doing piece work,”
he told Sergeant Walter E. Carel
who questioned him regarding
former employment, with a view
to determining the man’s moral
fitness for Uncle Sm’s sea soldiers,
Carel gasped in amazement and
was writing down ‘“f.o.b. Detroit”
and other irrevelant things on the
application blank, when Henry
Ford supplemented his statement
with, ““you see I am a molder by
trade, and I’ve been working *piece
work’ on truck castings over at
Bethlehem,”
Ford could not pass the required
examination however, and was re
jected by the medical examiner for

Gollege Will Teach
- War On 801 l Weevil
Athens, Dec. 19—The annual
short course for farmers at the
Georgia State College of Agricul
ture which will be held January
4-15, will especially emphasize
this year how to raise cotton in
spite of the boll weevil, what
methods of diversification will be
necessary and in general how to
adjust Georgia farming to chang
ing conditions
A bulletin has been issued an
nouncing the short course and as
signing many phases of work to
‘be taken up, all tending to solve
‘what is declared to be the greatest
iagricultuu] problem Georgia ever
had to face.
London, Dec, 20.—T1he British
War Office announced today that
the withdrawal of British troops
from the Gallipoli peninsula to
‘‘other sphres” was made success
fully |
All of tke troops on the Anzac
and Suvla fronts on the Gallipoli
Peninsula have been withdrawn.
The official statement issued says
that all troops at Suvla and Anzac
together with their stores and guns
have been successfully transferred,
with insignificant casualties, ‘“‘to
another sphere of operation.”
It is reported that some of the
Gallipoli troops will be sent to
Egypt and others to the Balkans.
This is taken to mean that the
Gallipoli campaign has been aban
doned for the present at least.
If all the Allies troops are with
drawn from Gallipoli, it will re
lease 250,000 Turkish troops which
can be used elsewhere.
Berlin Had Expected This
Move
Berlin, Dec. 20.—Reports re
ceived here state that the Allies
troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula
have abandoned their campaign
and are embarking on trensports.
These reports caused on surprise
as it has been long recognized Liere
that the Allies Gallipoli campaion
was a failure.

What's Your Answer?
Take a year's crop of cotton. The spinners spin it and the world con
sumes 1t in twelve months. Yet the farmers have had to sell that crop in four.
Who wins? The speculator.
Who loses? The farmer.
Put the cotton irower in position to sell his cotton when he wants to,
and he gets his full share under “‘supply and demand.
That’s the natural law that regulates the price of wheat. The size of th’e
grain crop, divided by the appetite of mankind, gives the value in dollars. Doesn’t
matter that wheat in storage must be guarded against bugs and bacteria, as well
as against fire and weather. That’s done. The wheat grower gets what he's
earned.
Why isn’t that true of cotton? The bale hasn’t an enemy except weather and fire.
It isn’t perishable. It won't spoil in good storage. Yet every year the price of cotton has
gone down in the fall—and gone up in the spring AFTER IT WAS OUT OF THE GROW
ER’S HANDS.
Why can’t the price of cotton be stabilized like wheat’s ? ‘
IT CAN. :
.The only necessity is to fix things so you can borrow on your cotton and not hive to
throw it on the market for whatever you can get. That's where the wheat farmer las the
advantage. In order for you to be equally independent, you must have storage ficilities
like the wheat elevators in the grain country. That storage must be safe, cheap, respon
sible. It must be covered bv a receipt that teils the vital facts. Because in that recipt you

Then you can earry your cotton. Then a year's crop, destined to b: used in
twelve months, can be marketed as it's called for.
We've got that kind of storage giving that kind of receipt, righ here in
Atlanta. Our warehouses are proof against fire and weather, ow rates are
low, we are responsible; and the receipt we give you is negotiabP.
