Don’t fail io u..o t.itdiif..,' picture. Country Paper Business Builder Atlanta, October 1 1. —Thattin so-called ‘'country ’ paper is ex erting a great influence toward the upbuilding of the trade of local merchants in its town, and is aecomplis ing this result thru the simple medium of adverti sing the merchandise of the local merchant :s one of the signifi cant signs of the times, both in business and newspaper circles. The merchant in the small town has discovered that he must compote with the merchant of the big city by adopting the latter’s advertising methods, and in order to reach his trade must go into the advertising columns of his local newspaper. The big city merchant buys enormous quantities of space in the city papers and one or more of these goes in the home of the people in the country and in small towns. The big city merchant makes a special feature of his mail order business. As a natural conse quence, an enormous volume of business, in the aggregate, flows from the country and the small towns into the coffers of the big city merchant, In arder to overcome this com- petion, the local merchant must present the quality and style of his goods to hi s local customers through the advertising columns of his local newspaper. It is common knowledge among shrewd women shoppers of the cities that they can get the same goods at a lower price from mer chants in small towns, and many of them leave the city to do their chopping. They have discovered a fact, one which the people of the small town overlook, and it is up to the small town merchant to educate his customers. Their Hunting Hour*. ' Birds of prey generally seek their prey In the daytime, -while boast* ot prey generally seek theirs at night DOVGLASVILLE, DOUGLAS COUNTY, GA„ October 19, 1917. No. 28 Com. Brown Coes to Washington Taking stand squarely and emphatically auuinsL governmenl regulation or control of the price of cotton seed, in any degree win! soever, Commissioner of Agriculture J. J. Brown has gone to Washington for a conference with Food Administrator Her bert C. Hoover, Commissioner Brown was ac companied ,:y Director L. B. Jackson of the Georgia Bureau of Markets and President J. M Mills of the Georgia Farmers’ Union, and this delegation along with representatives from oilier cot!on stales, will stonily pro test against any interference whatever by the government for a fr o and open market for this product. "We stand unequivocally and emphatically against government intei fcrence in any shape, form or manner with the price of cotton seed,” said Commissioner Brown. “Cottonseed, like every Oth. r product of thefurm, should have at all times a free and open market subject solely to the law of supply and demand. “The market fo" hog lard has been the basis or determining factor in the price of cotton seed oil. If the status of the products of cotton seed won’t warrant a I; i ■ of 170 or $80 a ion for eot- toi ', \vli ii c-o'.t -u seed is bringing umi. price in the open market, then whv not put the products of cotton seed on a parity with lard? ‘When,-a; the beginning of the war, the South was suffering arid cotton seed was selling at $14 a ton, the government didn’t turn its hand to rahie the juice Therefore, ;r it is worth five times tlv . .ceor more in the open market today, there is no reason on earth why the govern ment should take any step to depress it, and we shall resist any such action to thefullextent of our ability. "Following the conference we hope and believe we shall he able to make the announcement that the government will not inter fere in any manner whatsoever with the cotton seed market.” Another object of Commis sioner Brown’s visit to Washing ton this week is to take up with the War Department and such other authorities as may be nec essary, the question of exemp tion from military service of those young men whose presence on the farm is absolutely essen- tip.l to their operation. In view of the imperaiive food situation, this is regarded as more, necessary that ever; be cause the harvesting of present crops must soon be followed bv preparations for greater produc tion than ever. It is pointed out that winter work is going to mean much lo next year’s pro duction. and if the men are taken away from the farms it will seriously interfere not only with this work, but with plant ing and cultivation in the spring. It is the belief of the depart ment that exception should be made, permanently, in those cases *n whicn ic it is clearly nec-saury to guarantee the safety Of -M-a ^lOdu-- an. Daily Thought.

Baggett just south of town brought some “bugs” for inspec tion. We look them Tuesday to State Entomologist. Lee Vv orsham who rays they are tiie genuine boll weevil. Mr. Worsham says the p op'e need not become alarmed over the situation, as by proper meth ods they a’e milking as much cottos on a smaller acreage in the weevil districts as they did before, and suggests that any farmer can, by writing to him in Atlanta, get free of charge pam phlets oil “How to gtpw cotton in spite o. the boll weevil,” and o t h e r valuable information Every farmer should Vviiie Lei Worsham, Slate Entomologist, Atlanta, for these help’s. Lois Mills I see that Uncle Sam lias issued his second batch of non- taxable Liberty Bonds- and is urging everyone to buy. And I think if I had a million or so of extra dollars I would invest the whole shooting match in Liberty Bonds. Don’t you think it would be nice to sit around and walqh the Liberty Bond slackers Uv to knock the high cost of living down with a hoe handle, while nil you have to do would be to clip coupons, turn them over lo Uncle Sam and get the' cash interest on your investment with no interest, no revenue to pay ? It would be what we c$i a 'lead pipe ciiieh,” Uncle Sam may be wise and sharp and a fighter from way batik, bn' I believe he made mistake in celling Liberty Bonds without a sign of a tax or string tied to them. I think the trouble with Uncle Sam is, he is just a little excited. Germany stepped on his pet corn, made a grab or two at his whiskers, and tried to throw sand in his eyes. Uncle Sam wan'ed to argue the matter and draw straws to see who would win. But Germany wouldn’t have it and kicked him on the shins, spit in his face, and told him to go way hack and sit down, and be a good boy, thinking that Uncle Sam being a big over grown, good-natured boy, would stand back and let him tear his playhouse down and eat all his raw ’taters. But Uncle Sam swelled up un til he busted his galluses, then his dander viz about 90 degrees and he wanted to swat witii an awful swat that would leave a great spatterment in the here after, Yes, he wants a whole lot af gore to fill up the holes in his wounded feelings and Kaiser Bill had better pad the seat of his pants before Uncle Sam yanks him across his knee and wallops the everlasting stuffing out of him with the sh ngle of democracy. I don’t know who hollered "schoolbutter” in this mix up, but I hope we won’t have to root the peg at the end of the game. Everyone that can should buy a Liberty Bond as it will be just like getting money from home. Everything is going on very nicely here- Some of our folks have been sick—mostly with colds—but we are glad to note that all are improving. Bill Blue!
