lowers the cost of building
CERTAIN-TEED offers a substantial saving in roof construction,
at this or any other time. It costs less to buy, less to lay, less to
maintzin and less per year of life. Because of tremendous proe
duction (the General makes one third of all the roll roofing made in
America), and because of economies effected by enormous re
sourc s, modern machinery and favorably located mills, the General
is able (1o make the best roofing at the lowest cost.
CERTAIN-TELD Roofing is the General’s own product—from
the raw mate-ials to the finished roils, it is made in the General’s
huge inills. 1t is made of the best quality roofing felt, thoroughly
caturated with the General’s own blend of soft asphalts and coated
with an impeivious covering of harder asphalts, This keeps the
inner saturation soft, and prevents the drying out process so destruc
tive to ordinary roofing. That's why CERTAIN-TEED outlasts
other rocling. 1o is guargateed for 5,10 or 15 years, according to
ply. Experience proves that it lacts longer.
CERTAIN-TEED is sold by responsible dealers everywhere at

frem the entires boll weevil territory
in Georgia, now covering an area of
approximately 13,400 square miles, or
practically one-third of the cotton
growing territory of the state.
The young cotton will soon be com
ing on and the weevils that passed
successfully through the winter sea
son, will, before long, be emerging
from winter quarters to attack the
young squares. There is every indi
cation that the weevil is going to
prove a very serious pest this year
in at least 30 to 35 Georgia counties
in the southwestern section of the
state, from Haralson county all the
way down to the Florida line and as
far over as Lowndes in the extreme
southern portion.
A Serious Problem
Georgia farmers who have arranged
their planting this year upon the the
ory that the boll weevil is going to
be a very serious problem in these
counties this year, will come out best.
The preliminary preparations have, in
most instances, no doubt, been made,
but there is a great deal yet to be
done, and every farmer and busiress
man in the affected territory, shouid
be well prepared for what is to
come.
It is the purpose of the Albany con
ference to discuss and plan “PRE
PAREDNESS” for boll weevil condi
tions, and to this end there has been
no more important meeting held since
the boll weevil entered this state.
The Georgia State Board of Ento
mology urges and advises every farmer
and business man in the infested ter
ritory who can possibly do so, to be
in Albany to attend this meeting and
hear these speakers, on Thursday,
April 20.

DEALERS MUST GET .
RID OF ALL LIQUOR
Savannah Mayor Says They
Won’t be Allowed to Store It.
Savannah, April & —All liquor
must go before May 1. After
that date it cannot even be stored
in Savannah, except in the limited
quantities allowed by law. This
is Mayor Pierpont’s order.
A representative of g group of
Savannah liquor dealers called up
on the Mayor and asked if it
would be permissable to store lig
uor in this city afier the new pro
hibition law went into effect. He
received an answer in the nega
tive. The liquor the dealers con
templated storing, accordng to
their emissary, is that left on hand
after May 1.
In support of the Mayor’s an
nouncement there came from At
lanta an opinion rendered by At
torney General Clifford Walker.
This decision points out that the
new laws allow a certain omount
of liquor to each individual and
that any dealer having in his pos
session more than that amount af
ter midnight of April 30, would be
technically guilty of a violation of
the law.
The statement by Mayor Pier
pont came as another step toward
a strict enforcement of the prohi
bition law in Savannah.

CHILD LIVES AFTER
BEING BURIED ALIVE
Atlanta, April 8 —After being
buried alive for eleven hours in
the mound of a grave beside
which she was born an illegiti
i mate child and buried naked by
hermother to conceal the latter’s
shame, a tiny infant girl has
found a home at the Methodist
Orphnage at Decatur, ner Atlan
ta, and the nurses say she bids
fair to develop into one of the
healthiest and brightest children
the Orphange has ever reared.
Meanwhile her mother, Bessie
Compton, 2 3years of age, faces
a charge of assault with intent to
murder in Whitfield county. To
the sheriff who arrested her- she
confessed that she got up in the
middle of the night and went to
the lonely cemetery to give birth
to the child. When the infant
came into the world, she said that
she dug out a place in the mound
of a grave with her bare hands,
and buried her baby.
With nothing over the baby ex
cept a piece of cloth to protect
her face; the little mite of hu
manity cuddled up in the soft
earth and fell aslepp. The baby
was buried about daylight. At
sundown the same day, passers
iby were attracted by her cries
'and took her in charge.
