SRR . : .
{ Vashington, June 23.—The
House of Representatives today
assumed responsibility for the or
dering of the National Guard in
to Mexico. Amid scenes of patri
otic excitement the House unan
imously authorized President
Wilson to draft the 100,000 Nat
tonal Guardsmen called to the
“colors into the Federal service,
“either within ‘or without the
territorial limits of the United
wStates.”
- The resolution provided:
“hat in the opinion of Congress
‘an cmergency now exists which
£, Hmands the use of troops in ad
tdition to the regular army.
That the President is authoriz
ed to draft any or all of the mili
"tia of the scveral states, Terri
tories and the District of Colum
bia into the military service of
the United States “for the period
of the emergency, not exceeding
three vears.”’
To Support Farailies
That $1,000,000 be appropriat
ed for maintaining the families
of the militiamen called to the
front, “not exceeding $3O per
month to be paid to any family.”
The word family, under va
rious amendments offered, would
include the wives and children of
militiamen, their fathers, mothers
and sisters, and their brothers
under 14 years of age.
A wild outburst of applause
greeted the final passage of the
resolution now goes to the Sen
ate. '
When Chairman Hay presented
the resolutioil there was no ob
jection to its consideration.
» “Is not a resolution worded in
this way g, virtual declaration of
war?” askéd Congressman Mad
den, Republican, of Illinois.
“It was not contemplated that
this would amount to a declara
" tiok of war or a declaration that a
state of war exists,” replicdl
chairman Hay.
PLOW l
Plow deep while sluggards sleep'
was good advice in Poor Rich-l
grd's time, |
In Ben Hill other counsel is
due. - By plowing around a field
year after year the same way a
hollow in the middle and a ridge
at the edges show how the work
was done. The soil is turned
into' a ditch or to the fence. Rank
wild growth in these ridges show
where the good soil is.
These thrifty weeds wink at
cach other and laugh at the f:u‘m—l
er as he rolls his best soil.to them.
But the thrifty farmer has nnl
weéeds in or.about his fields. ]‘»yl
such inept plowing one-fifth of
the plant-food is destroyed. !
On up-land the surface should
be level. The back furrow mcih-l
od is an eazy remedy, but the back
firrow is a stronger in some parts
of the wiregrass region. Begin
a few feet fromithe edge of the
field and turn the f{furrow in.
Make this land wider on one side
than the other so that the middle
furrow will not come in the same
place year after year. Thus no
holl«Fy; no ridge;: weeds easier
desttfoyed ; rainfall better adjust
ed; less danger of flood or wash
in wet season, and in dry season
retained in soil, improved crop
and soil. S.
PROFITABLE WAYS OF
MARKETING DAIRY
PRODUCTS
There are many different kinds
of salable products that can be
made from cow’s milk, but we
will consider cream marketing,
which is the most important to
the farmers.
The most successful and econo
mical wav of marketing dairy pro
ducts 1s 1n the form of cream.
This is especially true where
I »me butter making is handicapp
«,\\by‘ climatic conditions and lack
o f experience.
It ic possible sometimes to get
“pegnlar customers for sweet
cream at real good prices, but a
market of this kind is limited and
is not generally available to the
two and three cow farmer. It
is better, therefore, for him to
send his cream, two or-three times
per week, to tlwlcrc:\mcry. ‘
Selling cream is much better
thah making butter at home, be
cause it requires much less work.
A higher price is generally paid
by the creamery than can be got
ten for the home-made butter. A
more uniform grade of butter can
be made by the creamery and will
therefore find a ready market,
which affords the farmer a ready
and constant outlet for his prod
uct.
It is best to send rich cream
to the creamery, for rich cream
will not sour as quickly as thin
cream, and there is less bulk to
the thick cream, which requires
ife\\'er cans, less weight in haul
ing, and is in better shape to
handle. The thicker your cream
the more milk you will have left
for your calves and pigs.
We wish to emphasize f e im
portance of cleanliness, | it is
impossible to make g¢ ter
from a poor quality of c\, ‘and
the condition of the cream de
pends largely upon the care given
by the producer. The extra care

HAT is the bore and stroke of your motor,” was asked a Maxwell
owner not long ago.
“l don’t know,” he replied simply, “l don’t buy cars on figures any
more. [ buy them on what they’ve done.”
For this man, and for many others like him, it was enough that during
the thirteen strenuous years the Maxwell record for performance, reliability
and economy had swept it to the front. ;
s Figures—engine speed figures, horse-power figures, wheel-base |
figures—they meant nothing to him. The name “Maxwell” carried more
g y g
weight than all the technical description that could be offered.
Maxwell cars have achieved this great good will and this priceless '
position with the public only by their unequalled record of things done.
What is said of an automobile in its specifications is one matter. What the
car actually does in the hands of owners, year after year, is another matter.
effivanzsinet o The Maxwell car has won its position through sheer merit. It has set
' record after record in competition with cars of all prices and classes.
Everything considered, the Maxwell is the safe investment. It is a
known, tried and proved product. It will serve you as it is serving and has
served countless others.
‘ Let us arrange for a demonstration today. You will be under no
obligation. We want to give you a chance to convince yourself.

money, and it is up to the farmer
to keep his cream clean and cool,
so that it can be made into good
Dbutter that will demand the high
est prices, which, will mean to the
farmer the best price for the
\crc:nn as well.
There is generally one-third to
one-half pound of butter-fat in a
gallon of milk, and one-fourth to
three and one-fourth pounds in
cach gallon of cream, depending
on its richness. A pound of but
ter-fat will make a pound and
one-sixth of finished butter. The
creamery generally pays the mar
ket butter price for the butter-fat
and depends on the one-sixth
over run for his profit.
Wherever a successful cream
ery is in operation, there will al
way be found a prosperous com
munity, because there are always
plenty of cows to consume the
farm crops and thus keep all the
fertility of the soil at home. The
land grows richer every year and
the farmer prospers with it. He
always has ready money and can
pay cash for what he buys, which
makes the merchant prosver
too. The banks Have more mon-
cy on deposit and the general
condition of business lis better,
because the money is kept at
home instead of being sent away
to buy dairy products, fertilizers,
etc. . Dome ot the sotithern
creameries are paying out to the
farmers for butter-fat $5,000 to
$lO,OOO per month.
The opportunity is knocking
at your door, it is up to you to
accept an make good, or let the
boll weevil come in to your ruin.

JEHU HUNGATE.
Jehu Hungate was born Feb.
28, 1848 at Louisville, 111., and
died at Fitzgerald June 21, 1916,
at 6 p,» m., at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Griffin,
He was married to Miss Alice
Biggs, who died in this city
September 24, 1945,
Two daughters, Mrs. Lloyd
Griffin, and Mrs. J. S. Landrub,
one son, |. I. Hungate, and one
sister, Mrs. Mary McNelly, of
Louisville, 111., are left to mourn
his loss.
Bro. Hungate was one of the
first to form the colony here,
which developed into the city of
Fitzgerald, and he remained a
citizen here until his death. For
many years he conducted a
wholesale fruit and produce busi
ness in this city.
One who knew him well, stat
ed to the writer that a marked
change came over him after the
death of his wife; he rémained at
her grave after others had left,
and talked over with this friend
matters about death and the fu
ture, which he said had not con
cerned him before.
During his last sickness, the
first time he had any minutes of
clearness of mind, he expressed a
desire for a minister, and one of
the pastors of the city was called.
He was found ready and anxious
to commit his life to God, after
the best instruction the minister
could give him, and prayer for
him, it was touching indeed to
hear him cry out, “Jesus is my
Saviour.” He confessed the
wickedness of his life, and his
strong desire to turn from it to
Christ. He was also anxious for
prayer for his son, that he might
change, and such an appeal as he
made to this son to turn from sin,
I have not often heard. Later on
he told his daughters-that all was
well with him.
The funeral service was con
ducted Thursday afternoon at 4
o’clock from the residence of his
daughiter, Mrs. Griffin, and the re
mains wer laid to rest in the city
cemetery, the writer officiating..
