EVERY NEW TIRE LOOKS GOOMN.
Dunlops not only look good, but they
make good—over rocks and gravel, and
ruts and sand.
Thirty-nine years of experience has
shown Dunlop how to design a tread that
gives maximum traction and slow, smooth
wear.
. This Dunlop tread is the toughest devel
opment of rubber known. And this same
tough tread-rubber is carried clear around
the sidewall to give maximum protection
against rut wear.
You get the full benefit of all this extra
tread-mileage because each Dunlop is built
with the famous trouble-free cable-twist
Dunlop carcass, to provide the high
strength and elasticity so vital to long tire
life. . \

What Milk Means
To Gecrgia
(By Dr. Andrew M. Soule)
President, State Collego\ of Agricul
ture.
Competent investigators are of the
opinion that we have 250,000 under
weight or undernourishded children
in Georgia. They constitute the
state)s unminted gold. They repres
ent its primary asset. They hold in
their hands its economic destiny, for
almost within the twinkling of an
eye they will have passed from the
stage of adolescence into the stature
of man and womanhood and so oc
cupy the center of the stage and be
come the di}\'ecting entities or all the
activities of the commonwealth. The
illimitable potentialities for construc
tive service which they represent can
not be correctly pictured prov.ded
they are permitted, through the wise
guidance and assistance of their eld
ers to develop the full fruitior of
their power for service. ‘
What is the greatest boon which we
are in position to offer these child
ren? That of good health. A clean,
wholesome mind finds residence in a‘
vigorous, healthy body. Good pub
lic behavior is concident with
health. Power and the progressive
spirit constitute two of its fundamen
tal assets. Creative genius, interpre
tative understanding, and forensic
ability are the products of clear-vis
ioned thinkers, possessed of bodily
vigor. Health, in other words,
means more to youth than any other
gift we can bequeath or offer to
them. Our failure to safeguard it
would constitute a fundamental error
of the first magnitude. Moreover,
it would represent the betrayal of a
trust which is placed in our hands for
safe-keeping. Can this generation
afford to have the opprobium of such
an issue placed upon its shoulders?
There are no mitigating circumstanc
es to soften the blow because we
know the nature and character of the
ills which affect our children and the
remedies which must be applied for
their correction.
Of all the lines of service work
in which the College has ever been
permitted to engage, there is none
that has made a stronger app:al to
me than the “Milk Campaign for
Health” now being instituted in the
progressive Gate City of the South.
I am proud to see Atlanta h,iding
aloft the banner of progress in re
gard to this important matter. We
are pleased to be permitted to associ
ate ourselves with an undertaking
so intimately associated with the fu
ture welfare and progress of our
state. We are gratified to aid in
performing what we consider to be
one of the finest pieces of construc
tive service work ever inaugurated
in this section of the South in behalf
of its own boys and girls. The in
tensity of our concern about the suc
cess of this Campaign is demonstrat
ed by the fact that we are assigning
more than fifty of our expertly train
ed field workers to aid in its promo
tion upon an acceptable basis from
May 9 to 14, inclusively. We are
offering the services of this corps
of finely trained workers and devout
teachers to this cause free to cost in
so far as their salaries are concerned.
Naturally, their experience constitu
tes a much finer asset than anything
else they possess. The college is
also assuming large responsibilities
in connection with the pubilicity work
being carried forward and will con
tinue to serve the cause after the
white-heat of the Campaign has pass
ed. There is no undertaking in the
history of the state upon which we
have concentrated a greater degree of ‘
effort than the “Milk Campaign for
Better Health’” in Atlanta. |
We hope the citizens of Atlanta
will have an opportunity to meet with
our field workers and to pass judge
ment upon the fine spirit of patrio
tism and cooperation they evidence,
for this is an extra burden imposed
upon them and chiefly assumed be
cause of their love for little children
and their desire to see them enjoy
to the fullest extent the God-given
privileges which .should be theirs by
inheritance and opportunity. This
represents our concern about the en
terprise from the altruistic and there
fore the most worthy of motivations.
We are also very anxious to see
that the dairy industry of this state
is developed and expanded to the de
gree which is desireable in order that
Georgia may become self-sustaining
in so far as products of this character
are concerned. The cow is the foster
mother of civilization, and we must
give her a chance to perform the
functions assigned to her in the most
acceptable manner for the proper
safe-guarding of the health of the hu
man race. The men whose business
it is to feed and care for the cows
which produce the very elixir of life
also need encouragement. The man
ner in which the dairyman have ral
lied to this great cause is worth of
the highest commendation. That they
are not undertaking to raise~ the
price of milk is worthy of special
note and emphasis. That they are
prepared and will undertake to pro-}
vide the increased quantity of milk
which may be needed is a fact which
should be constantly kept in mind
by all who are associated with this
project. |
The importance of this campaign.
to Atlanta and to Georgia from an
economic standpoint also enlists our
sympathy and concern because it
means the effectivie utilization of
land that probably is not now being
used to advantage. It will help very

Dixie No Longer Stops With Cotton—
Read These Figures on
Peanuts and Livestock
ATLANTA, Ga.—Many have an
idea that the South, particularly out
siders, grows very little of anything
except cotton—a crop worth several
billions of dollars.
That’s wrong.
Dixie doesn’t stop with cotton.
That’s only where she starts. Take
peanuts for instance:
The peanut crop of the South will
this year, bring the farmers, approxi
mately $100,000,000. When one
thinks of the peanut, don’t think of
it only in the roasted form in paper
bags. By far the largest percentage
of the peanut crop is crushed in oil.
Peanut oil is rivaling olive oil, and in
fact, many folks prefer it to olive
oil.
This peanut oil brings a good
price in wholesale quantities; and |
from a ton of peanuts there is secur- |
ed an average of 75 gallons of oil,!
and about 1,200 pounds of peanut
meal, which is one of the most valu-}
able feeds for livestock that can be
imagined. This meal sells for $6O
to $7O a ton. ¢ |
Now look at these livestock figures:
35 percent of all the hogs in the
country are here in the South—possi
bly 30,000,000.
There are 15,000,000 head of cat
tle grazing in southern fields—3o
per cent of the country’s total.
“The South, before she went into
diversified agriculture, depended on
the rest of the world for food”, says
a statement of the A. B. & C. railroad
agricultural department. “Now she’s
helping to feed it in a big way.
Things have changed—the South has
'moved, grown, expanded, until now
}she is possibly the richest market in
the world.”

The Boy Was Right
“Last Winte at college the tem
perature on three successive nights
dropped to zero’.
“That’s nothing”, snorted Freddie
the Frosh, “that’s nothing”.
“What’s nothing”’, indignantly ask
ed Sam the Senior.
“Zero”, remarked Freddie snap
pily as he bolted the door.
materially in covering up the raw
man-made sores upon Nature’s bosom
and transform our gullied hillsides
into elements of inspiring beauty. It
will furnish remunerative employ
ment to hundreds of our farmers who
find themselves, somehow or other,
at the end of the row.
It means the material stimulation
of our dairy industry to the point
where it will ultimately make Georgia
economically independent in this re
spect of other sections of the country.
This of itself wjll add at least $25,-
000,000 annually to the resources of
our people. Keeping this amount of
money at home as working capital
and for purposes of improvement will
render a very substantial and con
tinued economic service to the peo
ple of Georgia as a whole. Moreover,
we believe that the initiative which
Atlanta has evidenced with reference
to this matter will spread to other
cities of the state and thus enable us
to reach and serve the welfare inter
ests of thousands of other Georgia
boys and girls living in both urban
and rural communities.
I know of no enterprise which
could have been inaugurated in this
day and time fraught with greater
economic importance therefore to the
| health and welfare interests of our
Iyouth or the economic advantage of
lour dairyman and landowners. It
'seems particularly fotunate that the
consumption of this project should
have been undertaken, therefore, at
this particular time. |
In Bible days even the grownups
were called the “Child of God”.
Children was a term of endearment
in the.days of old.
The doctors of the country have
been making a deep study of child
ren and their welfare for many years.
They have found that it is very es
sential that children shouid have the
right kind of food, and not eat too
much candy and sweets, and that they
should not be jealous, or cultivate
fear, or get angry. It has also been
found that children must have plenty
of recreation and play, and that if
they are good they will grow up as
healthy and good men and women.
Their health is largely in their own
keeping, so children should think a
bout these matters.
The Government has got up a mo
tion picture film on ‘‘posture.” Iti
shows how important it is to sit up
stfaight with your shoulders buck,'
as the slumping over should be left
to grandma and grandpa, who can’t
help it. Children who sit and stand
straight grow up as fine men and
women.
Thousands of naughty boys and
girls were taken into the new juven
ile courts last year. Some of them
were kept in custody as long as four
months before they realized that the
best friends that they had in the
world were their parents, and then
they get anxious to get back home
where folks loved them.
A great deal of attention is being
given by thoughtful people to the
subject of child labor. Children are
being protected by the Government
and by the states against being over
worked in order to earn money. But
lazy children are not a credit to them
selves nor to their parents, and while
they should not have to do hard work
like their fathers and mothers they
should be perfectly willing to help
their parents do the things about the
i home, and when they are out togeth-
When a boy is ten years old he]
should be 5.7 inches high and v.'eig'htl
65.3 pounds. A girl at the same age!
should be 5.3 inches high and weight
62.3 pounds. As they get older the
boy at fifteen should be 62.3 inches
high and the girl 61.1 inches high.
The boy should weigh a little heavier
than the girl. |
