Mercy Ship
New York.—The British and French
troops have made additional import¬
ant gains against the Germans on the
line running from Arras to Soissons.
On the British center at several points
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig’s men
have pushed forward, occupying the
villages of Longavesnes, Lleramont
and Equancottrt, and in addition have
captured from tffe Gertnans a position
north of Beaumetz-lez-Cambrai, which
the Germans took from them in an at¬
tack.
The gains of the French were made
in the region to the south of La Fere,
where they drove the Germans com¬
pletely out of the lower forest of Coucy
and also captured the villages of Petit
Barisis, Vereuuil and Couey-la-Ville,
bringing the French line in this re¬
gion to the western outskirts^ of the
forest of St. Gobain and the upper
forest of Coucy. In the Soissons sec¬
tor further progress was made north
of Neuville-sur-Margival and northeast
of Leuilly.
The German war office admits the
capture by the British of the town of
Roisel, about: eleven miles northwest
of St. Quentin, and the falling back of
the German forces before the French
at several points in the forest region
south of La Fere, in order to avoid
bing outflanked.

PLEA TO THE FARMERS
FOR PREPAREDNESS
Secretary Houston Urges Mobilization
Of Agricultural Resources To Meet
The International Crisis
Washington. The farmers of Amer¬
ica have been appealed to by Secretary
Houston to join in agricultural prepar¬
edness measures so that the country
may not be handicapped by food short¬
age in its effort to meet the interna¬
tional crisis. Elimination of waste,
conservation of surplus and attainment
of maximum crop returns were out¬
lined as imperative steps for strength¬
ening agricultural resources.
“Both for economic and patriotic
reasons,” the secretary said ,in a for¬
mal statement,” the American farmer
should strive this year for the high¬
est standard of efficiency in the pro¬
duction and conservation of food.
"Under the conditions in which’ this
county now> finds itself it is important
that everything practicable be done to
increase the efficiency of agricultural
activities during the coming season.”
The secretary's appeal is part of the
campaign undertaken by the depart¬
ment of agriculture to mobilize the
country’s agricultural resources.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful—No
More Itching Scalp.
Within ten minutes after an appli¬
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks’ use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but
really new hair—growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine immediately dou¬
bles the beauty of your hair. No dif¬
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz¬
ing—your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an incomparable luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any—that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment—that's
all—you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try a lit¬

STATE ITEMS
CONDENSED
Macon.—Sheriff J. C. McCants of
Taylor county, who was shot while
making an arrest at Butler, died at
a private hospital here.
Thomasviile.—Thomas county is go¬
ing to hold an election April 5 to de¬
termine whether or not its people want
their county cleansed of the cattle tick.
Thomasviile.—Cairo is being con¬
gratulated upon the result of the bond
election held there, resulting in a big
victory for the $28,000 issue for sew¬
erage. A feature of the election was
that there was not a vote cast against
the issue.
Waycross.—In co-operation with the
gftvernmfent department of agriculture,
farmers of Ware are preparing to make
what will no doubt prove interesting
tests in cotton raising under boll wee¬
vil conditions. New varieties of cot¬
ton will be tested.
Dawson.—A cloudburst of rain, hail
and wind struck Dawson. The mass
of water and hail was so dense it was
nearly impossible to see across the
iHreet. Awnings were tom away, plate
glass store fronts smashed and tender
vegetation destroyed.
Waycross.—Fire of unknown origin
destroyed the saw mill, planing mill
and grist mill of the GeorgiaTiorida
investment company at Traders Hill,
in Charlton county, according to re
{K>rts received in Waycross. The loss
did not exceed $3,000.
Macon.—The annual meeting of the
Georgia State Association of Elks will
be held in Macon, May 23, 24 and 25,
this being th first meeting since the
grand lodge of Elks formally recog¬
nized state associations and incorpo¬
rated them into and as a part of the
organization,
Alma.—Final judgment was filed in
Bacon superior court sustaining the
contention of the Western Union Tele¬
graph company in the case of that
Company against the town of Alma,
involving license the constitutionality of the
tax imposed upon telegraph

ruary 2 he celebrated his ninety-eighth
birthday. It was bitterly cold, but he

The Hill to claim a great birthday cake
jfiven to him by the Pythian Sisters.
Moultrie.—J. H. Tillman, a farmer
the Autreyville district, killed an
jagle near here. The bird measured
feet and six inches from tip to
fip of wings and it stood four and a
half feet high. When shot, the eagle
was attacking a pig which had strayed
from the rest of the herd.
Atlanta.—Billy Sunday is coming to
Atlanta, probably in November or cer¬
tainly by the following March, accord¬
ing to a telegram received by the local
committee in charge of the Sunday
campaign. Within sixty days Atlanta
has won out over cities that have been
at work over two years and more to
secure the great evangelist and his
corps of workers.
Moultrie.—The Moultrie packing
plant March 21 killed 1,020 hogs, the
largest number in one day since the
plant has been in operation, and the
largest number of animals ever
slaughtered in one day in a southern
packing house. The total live weight
of the hogs was 165,234 pounds. The
total price of the hogs was over $19,
000, the price per pound being over
11 cents.
Augusta—Captain Moses S. Levy,
until recently commanding officer of
the Richmond Hussars, troop K, twen¬
tieth squadron cavalry. National
Guard of Georgia, has, since he return¬
ed from active service on the border
two months ago, formed a squadron
of cavalry, and the services of the
squadron have been tendered to the
government. Three of the troops have
been formed in Augusta and vicinity
and one in Waynesboro and vicinity.
Thomasviile.—The statement that
the common black martin will destroy
the boll weevil will undoubtedly cause
a revival of the old-time martin gourds
swung on poles throughout the county.
It was formerly the custom to use the
martin gourds as a protection against
hawks by those who raised chickens,
but in the past few years their use
has been less common, probably be¬
cause the country districts are more
closely built up and hawks are not so
prevalent.
Valdosta.—A large sale of sea island
cotton at probably the highest price
ever recorded on the local market
•was made here by B. P. Jones when
he closed out 250 bales at 60 cents
a pound. Small lots of extra quality
may have been sold during the last
few days at a little higher price, but
60 cents all around for a 250-bale lot
sets a new record. It is reported that
Massachusetts milis are c..tubing
the sea island section for all the cot¬
ton they can get. The British em¬
bargo on Egyptian cotton is said to

sion again heard argument upon the
renewed petition for the pardon of
Mrs. Edna Godbee, serving a life sen¬
tence for the murder of her husband

improving the water and light plant,
