Boarders Who Never Pay Board.
A cow that does not pay her keep is ecalled a
““boarder.”” Rats and mice never pay any board,
yet they are very expensive ‘‘boarders,’”” as they
spoil and destroy five time as much as they eat.
At the lowest estimate it costs three dollars a
year to keep a rat on the farm, but we think it is
nearer thirty dollars.. And they are not only ex
pensive boarders, but are most dangerous ones.
Bubonic plague, the most dreaded and most fatal
of all diseases, is now know to he transmitted by
rats. Many other diseases common in our own
country are also known to be carried by rats. |
House rats and mice are often the cause of fires;
and rats are deadly enimies of young chickens., A
large wrat” will easily make a ipeal of several little
chicks—grown chicks are worth more than a dollar
each. You would allow no other boarder to eat'so
much.
Rat poison is not expensive—in faet it would
really be cheap at any price. We are not prepared
to commend any one brand, but there are several
gOOd ones. |
Many times the press of the country has tried to
get concerted action of all the people to destroy the
rats, but it has not been done.
You can get rid of your own “free hoarders,’’
however, and that with less than one tenth the cost
of keeping them, and at a very small cost yvou can
stay rid of them. Try it for yourself, and you will
never be willing to let them come back.
- House flies are also expensive and dangerous
boarders, but that is another chapter.
The scientists claim to have discovered how to
take a monkey and make an old man into a young
man, but it never has taken a scientist to take an
old man and make an old monkey of him.

MEMORIAL TO MRS.
MARY COVINGTON
On July 7th, 1920, the Lord saw
fit in His wisdom to call from this
life this good and faithful servant
and crown her a princess in the glory
world. Mrs. Covington was sixty
seven years old and had followed
in the foot prints of the Master
since early childhood. She was as
faithful to her duties as a Christian
as she was gentle and kind to those
with whom she had as her associates
in life. She was |ovable to all, it
mattered not as to their condition,
ever ready to lend a helping hand to
the sick or necedy. She was not able
since the first of her illness to be
active in any religious gathering but
3hke enjoyed them at her house and
swas always cheerful and happy, nev
«r murmered or complained at her
lot, but was submissive to the Provi
dences of God and met the end with
that christian courage with which
all of God’s children may meet it.
er life was worth while, one that is
o live after her and she will be
“greatly missed, not only by the fam
ily, but by all that knew her. Her
life was one of quietness, but one
of ~reat firmness. She is survived
‘by iiine children, five sons, James L.
2Covington of Awubrey, Texas, W. J.
E. B. and Joe B. Covington of Atlan
ta, and H. M. Covington of Marietta
and four daughters, Mrs. C. P.
Hames, Mrs. W. M. Belle Isle, Mrs.
J. V. Nelson, all of Marietta and
Mrs. G. C. Knowles of Dunwoody. ‘
Hearthfelt sympathy goes out to)
the bereaved ones she has left be
hind, but may they realize their loss
is her gain and also live in this life
that one day they will meet her
around God’s throne where there
will be no more parting, but all wil]
be joy and happiness thru gl etern
ity. : A%fld.

Cotton is at an exceedingly high price at the
moment, but every pound you raise in Cobb comityl
this year will have to be fought for and guaraed

- It’s wonderful how many people have hurried
to get on the band wagon with Mr. Cox, after fight
ing for several years abolit everything he represents.
They probably foresee that the wagon is going to
be crowded, and they only want front seats next to
the driver.
After looking at those pictures in the Georgia
Highway report we are even stronger than ever for
more and better Georgia highways.
A bill is pending before the legislature to make
it a erime to furnish false information to newspap-‘
ers for publication. It’s ecompanion bill should be}
one to make it a erime for newspapers to publish‘
‘““news’’ which they know to be false and mislead-‘
ing, even in their headlines, which is one place in
which they do a lot of lying. {

picked up. From the way they have talked, some

‘ With Lookout Mountain potatoes selling right
here in Cobb at six dollars per bushel, and when it
is easy to raise from 100 to 200 bushels per acre, we
see no reason for Cobb county land to decrease in
price, and it is not going to either.
The current issue of thesSouthern Telephone
News, which itself is a most highly ereditable tech
nical paper, contains many pictures, and much of
general interest, from South Georgia and Florida.
The Southern Bell Telephone Company is rapidly
recovering from the hardships of the war, and is
progressing in wonderful strides for a greater and
better service in the south.
The Macon Telegraph asserts, and many people
believe, that ‘‘no eity is greater than its (Chamber
of Commerce.”’ If true, where does that leave

SALT AND GUM TO
~ REPLACE LOST BLOOD
The successful__gse of an artificial
fluid as a substitute for blood lost by
wounds, or removed from the circu
latory system by disorders of the
blood vessels, has just come to light
as a surgical triumph of the war, re
ports the August issue of Popular
Mechanics Magazine. It has long
been known that a simple salt solu
tion is capable of taking the place of
blood in the circu ation for atime,
but it is soon Jost by transfusionl
thru the walls of the veins. This is
prevented in the new solution by the
presence of a gum, which gives the
huid sufficient body to retain it in
the veins for some time.
GET BUSY ON A SILO.
There is probably no building on
the farm that pays such sure and
big dividends as the silo. ]t has been
proved time and time again that the
silo actually doubles the livestock
carrying capacity of every acre of
corn put*into it. You can winter
twice as many stock with an acre of
corn in the silo as you by feeding
the corn in any other form.
Food and feed prices are higher
than they used to be and will re
main higher for years to come. There
is every reason why we should be in
a position to get the largest pogsible
profits from our farming operations.
Many are hesitating to build silos on
account of the cost of materials and
labor. There is the greatest abund
|ance of money in circulation and we!
!will not get back to pre-war condi-|
tions, so far as the cogt of labor and‘
materials is concerned, for years.
‘Building materials are getting scar-“
}cer each year and the immigration to
this country will decrease rather than
increase, so there is no good reagon
for delaying the buildng of silos.
The fact of the business is, it will
probably cost fully as much to build
a silo several yeargs from now as at
the present time.—The Progressive
Farmer. St
CABINET WORK, TOOL
SHARPENING, ETC.
I call the attention of people hav
ing Cabinet Work to be done, and all
Jobs that a contractor would not like
or care to handle, such jobs I
can do at a very reasonable price,
I do all kinds of Cabinet Work and
also sharpen saws, sissors, etc. My

Mayes stable.—JOHN D. SIMPSON.

NO REDUCTION IN PRICES |
; OF FARM PRODUCTS.
If the laws of supply an(i demand
operate, it is difficult to see why we
should expect a decrease in the prices
of other products unless it be those
of farm products, or for that matter,
on which there has been profiteering
or those not shipped out of the
country.
In 1919 the United States produc--}
ed only 3 per cent more than in 1913,
or six years before. This is not
enough to take care of the increase
in population. But in 1919 it is
stated that we exported 60 per cent
more than in 1913. |
Either some other influence than
supply and demand have been oper
‘ating, or must operate in the future,
if under such conditions of produc
tion and export American prices are
\to come down much. To the average
person it looks as if the only way to
reduce prices is to take speculation
and undue profits out, as far as pos
sible, and produce more or send lesg
out of the country. There is no rea
son to expect any great reduction in
the price of farm products to the
farmer in the near future.—The
Progressive Farmer.

COX AND ROOSEVELT
INVITED TO GEORGIA.
An invitation was extended Wed
nesday morning by the Georgia
house of representatives to Gover
nor James M. Cox and Secretary
Franklin D. Roosevelt, democratie
)candidates for pregident and vice
president, respectively, to visit Geor
tgia and to speak to the people of thisl
state upon issues ofthe day. A priv-‘
ileged resolution, asking the demo
cratic leaders to visit the state, was!
introduced by Repregentative Al
friend, of Baldwin, and by vote of
the house, it was unanimously
adopted. 2 ‘
After disposing of the regular
routine Wednesday morning, the
housepassed to unfinished business,
and the Knight resolution, seeking to
appropriate the motor vehicle tax
fund of $1,800.000 came up This
resolution had been set for special
|and continuous order for Tuesday,
iand as no action was taken upon it
,befor; adjournment Wednesday, it
} will come before the house again
lThursday morning.
l The Knight resolution took wup
practically ‘the entire time of the
'house Wednesday, there being a num
!ber of speakers on both sides taking
part in the very spirited debate. Af
lter two minor amendments had been
introduced, Mr. Culpepper, of Fay

most serious matter, and made a
plea for a wise and fair adjusiment.
He spoke in opposition to the Knight
resolution, quoting figures to show
why the Knight resolution should not
be allowed to pasg, and according
to his view, disturb the great high
way program that is being carried
out in the state.
Representative Moore, of Butts,
spoke with spirit in favor of the res
olution, saying that the program
mapped out by the highway commis
sion to date only touched fifty out of
the one hundred and fifty or more
counties in the gtate. He said that
out of the 4,800 miles of post roads
to be constructed, not one mile
would be built in his county.
.~ Mr. Williams,*of Bulloch, spoke in
ithe interest of harmony, urging the
‘representatives to get together in
}the interest of the highway system.
Representative Covington of Col
quitt, made a telling appeal against
the Knight resolution, saying that
the legislators should get squarely
behind the great proposed system of
Il'xighways for the state, and that the
highway law did not contemplate
county road systemg, but a compre
hensive system for the entire state.
He suggested that if the motor tax
fund is distributed it should be pro
rated upon a basis of the amounts
paid in by each of the counties.
Mr. Lankford. of Toombs, spoke
emphatically in favor of the Knight
resolution.
Before any action could be taken
upon the measure, the house adopt
ed a motion to adjourn until 9 o’clock
lThursday.
