Employing in the tire business the old ideas of repairing worn and unser viceable shoes, the Georgia Double- Tread Tire Co. have perfected a re markable invention whereby automo bile casings are virtually resoled. Dis carded casings are repaired in weaker parts, then one is cemented and press* d on the other, then lockstitched on the side. The whole is finished off like a new casing, and because of the thick ness of the tread being from 8 to 12 ply of fabrics and rubber, the casing is practically puncture and blowout proof. Any size or make tire will be accepted for renewal. The price varies accord ing to 3ize—$3.50 to $7.25. For further information apply to Coweta Garage, Newnan, Ga.

Turin, Ga., July 2d. Communicntofi. To the Citizens of Coweta Connty: To the loyal supporters of the good work now being done in this county I beg to say it is the custom in every county that has a farm demonstration agent to offer prizes each fall to the boyH and girls enthuastic along the same line. This helps you, helps the town, helps make farm life attractive, and is 1 ying a foundation for profita ble scientific farming. When we en courage the farmer bov or girl it iH not necessary to say the fathers and mothers would lend a helping hand, and put as much enthusasm in any good movement as the boys and girls themselves would do. It is nothing but right that we encourage the boys and girls in their efforts; who demon strate to us and place the fruits of their labor on exhibition in order that the entire county may be touched. And right here let me Bay one spark of enthusiasm will have a wonderful in fluence over the man who haH not yet tried the practical, scientific way of making more per acre at the same ex pense—or, we’ll say, twice us much per acre at just the least bit more ex pense per acre. Show me the man who is not in sympathy with the sharp-witted, clever, practical furmer boy or girl who is making experiments which, Bhown to tlie community, will open the eyes of the shrewdest farmer and point out to him that he has here the beBt farm ing county in Georgia; —and of course we all know when we have the beBt in Georgia we have the best land that is. It is up to us to make it pay; and some are making it pay — making it pay far better than you might expect. They are making strides which would be a reflection on the good people of this county if their efforts were not emphasized and encouraged as they should. However, it is needless to say Buch will be the case in this county — your county. This fall we muHt see that the farmer boys and girls have the proper backing to enable them to place on exhibition at the court-house the fruits of experiments made by them which are worth seeing, and show merit on the part of the exhibitor. The best business brains of the country, backed by capital, are behind this movement of practical, scientific farming. Why not pay the price of progress and put Coweta county in the front rank, and make the career of our young farmers who will have to handle the future a scintillating triumph? They are push ing forward with faith that their suc cess along this line will Le rewarded, and when we offer prizes as a stimulus their faith is justified. There is going to be an exhibit by the Corn Club boys and the Canning Club girls at the court house next fall. It will take money to do this, and you will be called upon to contribute. It is going to be a success. We all like to join in anything that is good for the community. The public mind is keen on such movements.
