No, these are not European bomb casualties.
These innocent victims of a nearer and deadlier enemy
have been touched by the invisible blight of Infantile Pa
ralysis right here in Georgia.
They may have been your neighbors.
They’re as game as any in a Warsaw bombproof or a
Helsinki cellar. With your help, they can come back to
useful lives.
This is where your Infantile Paralysis contribution goes
—lo help youngsters like this fine boy on crutches get
Shat far back to health. And put this wistful little girl
<nut of a wheel-chair and on crutches.
Some clay both of them may walk normally, thanks to
wour celebration of the President’s Birthday.
In the Middle Ages, the unseen terror of civilization was
she “Red Masque of Death” or the “Black Death.” Today
it's the “Dance of Death” Infantile Paralysis, the last
great plague on earth.
Bubonic .. . typhus .. . pneumonia .. . yellow fever ...
typhoid .. . they have lost their punch. But Infantile Pa
ralysis today still strikes through all known protective de
vices. The day is coming when it will be checked, and this
happy hour will be hastened by your aid in buying a button
or a Birthday dance ticket.
No one is safer than were these two kids until research
vrs isolate the cause of poiiomyictis and discover a pre
ventive.
Until then Infantile Paralysis will continue to strike the
high and the low, the young and old, the rich and the poor,
the meek and the proud, leaving withered muscle* and
shrunken limbs when it does not kill.
WONT YOU HELP STOP IT?

-MORE CONSERVATION IN '4O
UNDER AAA IS FARMERS’ AIM
County Agent W. T. Middle
brooks this week said Houston
county farmers who participate
in the 1940 Triple-A farm pro
gram will carry out more soil
conservation practices on their
farms than ever before.
- Rates of credit for soil-build
ing practices under the agricul
tural conservation program of
the AAA have been changed to
give farmers a better opportuni
ty to carry out needed practices
which they do not normally put
into practice, the agent said.
He explained that the change
in credit for the practices does
not change the amount a farmer
may earn by soil-building but
merely changes the requirements
for earning it.
Practices which Georgia farm
ers are expected to use more I
widely under the 1940 program I
include winter legumes, green 1
manure crops, establishment of
permanent pastures, planting of
forest trees, home gardens, ap
plication of superphosophate or
basic slag with seeding of le
gumes and grasses, and contour
listing.
Women Barred From Throne
Under the Salic law in force un
der the French monarchy, women
were barred from succeeding to the
throne.
Tuning the Piano
Piano manufacturers advise that
a piano in the home should be tuned
at least three times a year. The
better the piano, the more frequent
and careful tuning it should receive.
Pianos used for concert work are
tuned before each performance.
Inscription on Grant’s Tomb
Cut into the marble of U. S.
Grant’s tomb in New York are these
words: “Let us have peace.” This
was the sentence he uttered at the
first convention which nominated
him for the presidency.
Modern Resort Ancient
One of the most fashionable re
sorts in France at Aix-les-Bains was
a Roman spa in 125 B. C. After the
Roman period the springs were for
gotten until the Seventeenth cen
tury.

POTASH supplies are adequate. The Jjlg ' ;
situation concerning this necessary •
plant food is very different from that yMaamk!' x
brought about by the last waf, when
this country was dependent upon im- ,ih
portations which were suddenly and
completely terminated. During the in
tervening years, discovery of potash
deposits in this country has led to the
development of a domestic industry
capable of expansion to meet the re
quirements of American farmers.
Therefore, wherever profitable yield
and quality of crops demand plenty
of potash, the proper amount should
be used.
Consult your county agent or experiment station
about the fertility of your soil and what fertilizer
you should use. See your fertilizer dealer. You
will be surprised how little extra it costs to apply
enough potash to insure good yields and high
quality. Write us for further information and
free literature on growing profitable crops.
