Health First
In buying food articles we must consider
several things—economy, results, conveni
ence, reliability; but the most important is
Health.
Health means everything. If one gets
cheated in buying dresses, shoes or bonnets it
is provoking, but the harm is chiefly loss of
money. In buying food articles, if imitations
or poor stuffs are supplied, there is a loss of
money and probably an injury to health also;
and good health is beyond price.
Remember these facts when buying baking
powder.

accessible to the heart of town, be

done to insure a repetition of the big

and profiting by the experience of that
accomplishment the promoters believe

G. W. Woodruff, L. Woodruff, and A.
J. Woodruff, the men behind the
Woodruff Machine Company and the
Woodruff Hardware Company. Win
der, tlie city, furnishes the grounds
and the electric light, the Woodrulf
brothers, led by Mr. G. W. Woodruff,
who is the moving spirit, furnish the
money and the executive force, and
progressive farmers from portions of
the counties, furnish the exhibits, all
combining to produce a fair worthy of
the name.
New County Celebration.
Winder is at present partly in Wal
ton and partly in Jackson counties.
At the last session of the Georgia leg
islature a new county was formed,
comprising portions of Walton, Jack
son and Gwinnett, and taking the name
of Barrow county, which was the suc
cessful culmination of ten years of en
deavor. Barrow county having been
authorized, it will become a fact. It
will take its place among the counties
of the Empire State of the South, be
coming effective on the first day of
next January, with Winder the county
seat. A court house is then to be con
structed and the government of the
new county of Barrow established.
It is partly In celebration of the
success of the new county that the
Woodruff North Georgia Fair is being
held this year—partly that and partly
because not only the Jfessrs. Wood
ruff but hundreds of farmers through
out this section realize that with the
South facing the present crisis noth
ing : s so important and nothing 1s so
vital as pointing out to the Southern
farmer the necessity of turning now
to diversity of crops, to the making of
home products, to Jive stock raising
and to scientific agricultural methods.
Chancellor Barrow Will Speak.
It is most befitting that on Thurs.
day of this week, which has been des
ignated both as Barrow County Dav
and as Athens Day, the man from
whom the new county takes Its hon
ored name, Chancellor David C. Bar
row of the University of Georgia, will
deliver on the fair grounds an ad
dress, his subject to be agriculture.
It is an interesting fact that Chancel
lor Barrow is the only living man for
whom a county has been named.
On the same day, Thursday, the big
day of the fair, the women attending
are Invited and urged to wear dresses
made of cotton checks, not ginghams
and lawns, but old-fashioned cotton
dresses, as an example of their loyalty
to the South and the Southern farm.
Prizes have been offered for the neat
est dress made of cotton checks.
To add to the popularity of the day
and to give Athens an opportunity to
advertise herself In this section, an in
vitation has been sent to the people of
Athens through the Athens Chamber
of Commerce, to attend and large num
bers of people are expected.
Among live stock exhibitors at the
Woodruff North Georgia Fair are
Mesars. W H. Wheats, Henry Hill, J.
F. Sheets, L. P. Williams, D. P. Camp
and P. W. Quattlebaum, all successful
farmers.
Diversified Farming Gains Foothold.
Diversified farming has gained a
firm foothold In this section. Nearly
all small land-owning farmers buy
their flour but little else. Progress
has been made In recent years. Home
men who are in the front ranks, hav
ing forged forward through diversi
fied farming, are Messrs. M. R. May
nard, P. R. Smith, J. W. Casper and
W. W’. Summerau, all of whom are
exhibitors at the fair.
My attention wbh attracted by the
show window display at the Woodruff
Hardware Company’s store, especially
arranged for fair week. The windows
are given over to a home products fits-
Pluy. There in profusion of plenty
and us an illustration of what any
farmer in this section can produce at
home If he will, are pumpkins, corn,
peas, watermelons, sorghum cane, oats
rye, plnders, sweet potatoes, syrup,
flour, hum, .preserves, canned fruits
and vegetables—all, everything pro
duced In a few miles of Winder.
On the fair grounds the visitors this
week will see many such exhibits and
displays, followers of the Idea of di
versity competing for the prize mon
eys. There are in all 45 contests—
there is to be plenty of stirring music
—there Is to be an aeroplane flight
dally—there is, of course, to be a car
nival. The contest* are so arranged
a* to give encouragement not only to
the farmer, to strive to get the most
out of the soil, but to the farmers'
wives, through the ladies' domestic

department, the flower show; to the
boys, through their corn clubs; to the
girls, through canning clubs; to the
children, through their schools. Sub
stantial money prizes are offered and
particular attention is being given to
the poultry show department and to
the industrial department. There are
to he oratorical contests for boys and
girls, automobile and floats parades,
boy scouts parade, school contests, old
fashioned spelling-bees and a fiddlers'
convention.
Governor Slaton Will Attend.
Besides Chancellor Barrow other
speakers on the program during the
week are Governor John M. Slaton and
State Superintendent of Schools M. 1..
Brittain, for Tuesday; Hon. Charles
S. Barrett, president of the National
Farmers’ Union; Hon. J. D. Price, corn
miss' ner of agriculture; Dr A. M.
Soule, president of the state college of
agriculture, for Wednesday. Thurs
day, ns stated, will be Burrow County
and Athens Day.
Friday will he Old Folks or Home
Coming Day, to be enlivened by an
old fiddlers’ convention and a Con
federate veterans' reunion. Rev. H.
N. Rainey will be master of ceremo
nies with Rev. A. R. Reeves, an able
assistant. In charge of the fiddlers'
contests will be Mr. Robert L. Stan
ley of Dacula and Mr. John W. Moore
of Bethlehem.
Saturday will he given over to the
negroes. The negro farmer has not
been forgotten or overlooked in the
preparations for the fair, and special
prizes and contests have been arranged
for them.
One of the novel restores of the fair
is the pumpkin contest Inaugurated
last April by the Winder Dry Goods
Company, for which three cash prizes
—for the largest, next largest and third
largest pumpkin—are offered, the seed
having been furnished farmers free by
tilts enterprising firm.
Woodruff* Deserve Great Credit.
I have said that It is to Mr. G. W.
Woodruff and his brothers that credit
Is due for the fair, but It is not to be
mistaken that the enterprising citizens
of Winder are not lending their co
operation and assistance. There Is a
co-operative board composed of
Messrs. H. A. Carlthers, Jr., J. F.
Adams, A. D. McCurry, W. J. Griffith,
W. H. Toole, J. E. Jackson, J. B. Wil
liams, J. 1,. Saul, J. T. Wags, Frits
Potts, Claud Mayne, T. A. Maynard,
W. T. Robinson, L. A. House, L. I.ove,
W. C. Horton, R. O. Ross. A. H.
O'Neal, Li. A. Huff and C. M. Ferguson,
all of whom have joined heartily Into
the movement led by Mr. Woodruff for
the benefit of the agricultural Interests
of this section.
Winder is a thoroughly alive, pro
gressive and enterprising little city.
Her people are public spirited, as was
demonstrated In a substantial manner
when the day after the ‘buy-a-bale"
movement was first suggested Winder
merchants and business houses took
560 bales of cotton on account, paying
ten cents a pound for it. The four
banks, the First National, the Winder
flanking Company, the North Georgia
Trust Company and the Farmers'
Bank, have a combined capital of J300,-
000, and the Caruthers Banking Com
pany, a private bank, with a capital
larger than any one of the others, are
disposed to help the cotton farmers,
lending them every possible aid in the
present holding movement.
Concerns like the Woodruff Machin
ery Company are writing their North

ern business connections, inviting them
to join In the buy-a-bale” movement.
To the A. B. Farquhar Company of
York, Pa., tills concern has sold sixty
five bales of cotton, or rather the cot
ton lias been sold through the Wood
ruff Company. Griffith, I till and Com
pany, supply merchants; Mr. \V. G.
Graham, and the Winder Dry Goods
Company are taking cotton on account
at 10 cents, and the Winder Oil Mill
Company Is accepting cotton on the
same basis in payment of fertilizer
debts.
It is believed here that the cotton
acreage throughout this section wtll he
cut at least one-third next year. That
the farmers are already making prog
ress is indicated by the fact that the
Woodruff Machine Company has this
year sold more grain threshers in this
section than ever before In one Hesson.
These threshers are manufactured here
in Winder, sixty men being employed
In the shops.
Mr. J. T. Moore, living near Winder,
and who, It may be assured, will have
something of Interest to show at the
fair, has found a ready market, in
Florida, for lilh late watermelons. The
watermelon season in Florida has been
over some time. For several weeks
Mr. Moore lias been shipping a car
load a day, having sent his son on to
place the melons, he is getting a good
price for them. But of even greater
interest —for all the peas, plain field
peas or cowpeas, which Mr. Moore can
ship to the Florida markets—-and ho
planted great quantities—he Is getting
$3 a bushel in the hull.
