ceive the advance. The only excep
tion is the carrier on Route 8, which
was established only a short tune ago.
The curriers should have received this
increase a year ago, but owing to some
technicality it was not allowed by the
Postmaster-General. This was reme
died at the last session of Congress,
however, and the increase went into
effect on July 1.

Several farmers wonder why they
have never been visited by the county
farm demonstration agent; hut have
they ever made the fact known that
they needed his services? There are
sev ral hundred farmers in the county,
and the agent visits only those who in
vite him, and Bhow that they have an
interest in the agricultural progress of
the county. When you call on him
have something definite in mind that
you want him to do, or help you to do.
On account of the largo number of
farmers making such calls he can
spend with one only the time required
to do the necessury work. Tell him you
have some work you want him to do
and show that you mean husin ‘Hs, uml
your call will receive prompt attention,
lie is here for work, and is anxious to
do it.

Ira Thomas, the Philadelphia Ameri

tho highest compliments that the Geor

When the Athletic scout was in Birm
ingham last week he confided to W. D.
Smith, president of tho Birmingham
Baseball Association, that the Georgia-
Alalmrnu league was the fastest class
D league that he had ever seen.
"Someone questioned Thomas as to the
class of the Georgia-Alabama league,"
said President Smith yesterday, “and
ho responded that, in his opinion, the
G. A. L. was the swiftest class D
league that he had ever known, if the
games he saw were to bo taken as a
criterion of the class of the leugue. Hu
witnessed play in that league when he
was investigating Pitcher Nabors, who
reported to Philadelphia on July 20. He
was so outspoken in his reply that evi
dently there was little doubt as to his
sincerity. I feel that it is a big boost
for the league."—Birmingham (Ala.)
