General orders have just been issued covering requirements placed upon all dealers in food products in the vicinity of these camps, and these orders must be rigidly adhered to. The autho rized inspectors of the pure food department will be continually on the watch, and if there is any violation, it will be promptly handled. All flagrant cases will ■be prosecuted. Georgia boys in ,the army camps in this state may rest reasonably assured that what they get to eat and drink around the camp is carefully safeguarded. The new state cattle tick eradi cation iaw passed at the recent session of the legislature, will be enforced to the letter. The state agriculture department 13 now making plans to this end. Every thing possible will be done in co-operating with the federal government, to clean the cattle tick out of Georgia at the earliest possible moment Georgia is entitled to take po sition as one of the greatest cat tle growing states in the country. It is the purpose of the depart- S. T. Gilland. ment, as far as is in its power, to see that Georgia does this under the new law. This law prohibits fhe movement of cattle from any tick-infested territory to any territory that is tick-free, whether a whole county or part of one. It restricts in the same way any cattle shipment from other states to Georgia points. The sooner Georgia can be freed of the tick, the better it will be for the whole state; and the department proposes to do its level best to get the tick out of Georgia at the earliest possible date. The Georgia Land Owner’s Association is going to hold a big meeting at Tifton on Sept. 15th. The department’s inter est in this meeting arises princi pally from the fact that cattle- tick eradication is one of its chief aims. No man need hope to grow cattle profitably, even if it be only two or three head a year, in tick-infested territory. Every man in South Georgia and in other sections of the state, in- tetested in successful cattle rais ing, should attend the Tifton meeting. He will learn much that will be worth while. On Sunday afternoon, at 3:30 o’c'ock, Sept. 16th, Dr. Geo. VV. Young, noted preacher, reform er, and Southern orator, will address the people of Douglas- vilif and surrounding country on one of the world’s most vital questions—"Dry America.” He comes under the auspices of the Anti Soloon League of America, there being no longer a Georgia Anti-Saloon League, this having been merged into the larger. The advertising has been placed in the hand of the Boy Scouts so arranged that they can secure, for services rendered, an American flag four by six feet. The p'an will he given in full in the next week’s Sentinel. Everybody get ready to help the Scouts, to help themselves, to help G. orgia, to help the nation, to help the world. You can do all this at the same time by hear ing Dr. Young, using the tickets furnished you by the Scouts, hicli will be taken up at the door. The ticket costs you noth ing, so please yield to the wishes ot the Boy Scouts and attend the meeting, using your ticket as the Scouts advise. The meeting will be held at the Methodi-t church at 3:30 o’clock, Sept 16th. . Sincerely yours, J. G. Atkinson. Recital By Miss Adams Miss Mattie Adams will repre sent the Expression Department of D. H. S., by giving a recital in the auditorum Monday even ing, Sept. 10th, at eight o’clock. She will be assisted by Miss Neal, who has charge of the Music Department.
