be measured by public utilities to

necessary to meet requirements
of a growing town and community.
We have the first essential-—p ow
er, The completion ot the plant
and the addition of a storage plant
has given Folkston quite an advan
tuge over conditions heretofore
he purest and best ice, at more
resonable price. Qur neighbor
ing towns are coming und getting
their supply with trucks, so itis
easily perceived at a glance what
such enterprises mean in building
business in a to®n.
The added hei that astorage
plant gives in eMtouraging farm
ers to raise meats is an incentiye
worth whle. Hog killing will not
depend upon the weather but on
the porkers condition. This will
make many nhog raisers more ea

real paying business. The mer

The average Texas farmer gets
up to the alarm of a Conneclicut
clock, Luttons his Chicago sus
penders to Detroit overalls, wash
es his face with Cincinnati soap,
eats Chicago meat and Minneapo
lig flour cooked on a Sears-Roe
buck stove. He goes out to the
barn and puts a New York bridle
on a Missouri mule fed with Col
brado alfalfa, plows the farm cov;j
ered with Baltomore fertilize
with an Illinois plow. When bed-|
time comes he reads a chapter
from the Bible printed in Boston,
says a prayer written in Jerusa
lem, crawls under a New Jersey
blanket, oniy to be awnkened by
a Texas dog—the only home pro
