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.

GEO M3IA POWER COMEANY A CITIZEN WJ.ER EVER WE SERVE 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.
