Mi. Snooks Canned by
Mabel Willebrandt
When a woman begins calling you
■‘snooks and snook unis' she has you
st a disadvantage. True to precept
and example, Mabel fell out with
“Snookuin” as they always do sooner
or later. A woman is as tender, crisp
and juicy as Minnesota celery until
niitn tarmplcs upon her pet corn and
then hell hath no such fury, even
worse than a Florida hurricane. We
been turned upon once or twice, but
never did wait until April the first
to swap horses once they began to
look through the key hole at us for as
a matter of fact most any man don’t
look exactly on the square through a
key hole und that is why we . ay Ma
bel had "snookums” at a disadvantage
ever since she’s been peeping over the
transom. Attorney General William
I>. Mlti'hell and President Hoover are
in sympathy with Mr. Snooks, but ari
kinder 'fraid to let Malad know it un
til they cuu get the war department
lined up with them.
Mrs. Blake Wood and two children
are spending several days with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Patrick.
Mrs. Dan Patrick and Mrs. J. B.

POTER FERTILIZER
WORKS
Atlanta, Georgia
Grow Cotton
at a lower cost per pound
How to grow cotton at a lower cost per pound is the big
problem the Southern Farmer faces today. There is
abundant evidence to this can be done.
THE FAMOUS! POTER FERTILIZERS
EL"-'-
are adapted to the soils of Rockdale and adjoining Coun
ties. A liberal amount of this well balanced fertilizer will
produce larger profits from cotton.
Farmers’ crop contests, results of experiment station tests,
and the experience of thousands of practical farmers clear
ly demonstrate that the more liberal use of a well-balanc
ed fertilizer will greatly increase acre yields and lower the
per pound cost of producing the crop.
High yields per acre and low cost of protection go hand in
hand.
POTERS’ FERTILIZERS have been sold and used succ
essfully in this territory for more than a quarter of a cen
tury.
