COFFEE
Three toldiere crouched in the front line
trench cold, weary, hungry. Suddenly
they eniffed, smiled and said in imison
" Case,” from the Paths; “ Catcfee, ’' from
the Tommy; and from the Yank — “ Coffee! “
COFFEE is the fighting man’s drink. It
did its bit in the war right manfully. In
the camp, on the march, at the front, in the
hut and hospital, wherever men fought and
bled and suffered and died _ there was
coffee.
Ever and always the cry was _ coffee !
Because it gives cheer and comfort, and
courage. It is soothing, quieting, sustaining.
The tired man calls for it. Exhausted nature
asks for it. After the lesson of this war
who shall say that coffee is not healthful
and needful?
Be thankful for coffee for the delight of
it, the benefit of it, the real downright good
* ness of it. There is nothing in the world you
would miss one-half so much as coffee—if you
were suddenly deprived of it!
Indeed—coffee is one of the truest and “ real
est ” of friends that Nature has given to men.
Let us rejoice in it, and revel in it. Let us
glory in the charm and flavor and piquancy
of it. Let us toast our friends in it—“ Here’s
to your health and happiness ! ”

There is a growing demand for good

by the high cost of meat animals and
meat products, and by the desire of
our people to change into a safe
rounded system of farming. The com
ing of tlie cotton bpll weevil hits has
tened this demand for breeders; and
the passing out of the tick has left
the field clean for good pure-bred cat
tle all over the state.
Some of our breeders are taking ad
vantage of this situation and are feed
ing and growing out their young stock
and furnishing the farmer with pure
bred, well grown animals that will
make good.
Other clever men (traders and bush
whackers) also have oised up the sit
uation and have shipped in culls and
inferior animals and are selling them
as "pure-bred but not registered.”
These men are after making money,
and they care nothing for the develop,
ment of the livestock industry. Any
animal that carries the color and mark
ings, these “bushwhackers” will claim
to be “pure-bred but not registered.”
It has been shown that when a
pure-bred beef bull is used with a
head of 20 cows the increased value
of the first calves at a year old will
more than pay for a good registered
bull. Since the bull is half the herd
and more, it is good business always to
select a bull that lstbetter individually
than the cows he is to be bred to. In
the same proportion as the bull is bet
ter than the cows, the calves will be
better than their mothers; but if the
bull is inferior to the cows, in the same
proportion will the calves be inferior to
their mothers. It follows then that we
can't afford to use a grade or scrub
bull even though hie be given to us;
for his calves will be too inferior and
scrubby to eat good grain and high
priced feed.
The death knell has been sounded to
scrub and grade bulls. Several coun
ties have already put on vigorous cam
paigns to this effect. Others will get
into line rapidly; and he who offers
such bulls for sale is not true to the
best interests of the cattle business
and is open to criticism and condem-,
nation by all fairminded men who
want to see real advancement in more
and better livestock In the South. Own
a registered pure-bred bull or none.
LOCAL GROCER SHOT
BY BANDITS AFTER
HE UPSETS ROBBERY
Jim Rigos, a Young Greek,
Draws Gun on Bandits in His
Store at 505 Twelfth Street
Last Night and Is Hit Twice
By Bullets From Guns Pointed
at Him.
With a pistol pointing at his head
and ordered to Rive up what, money he
had in the cash register, Jim Rigos, a
young Greek operating a soft drink and
grocery store at 505 Mar bury street,
frustrated the efforts of two young: high
waymen to rob bis cash register by
reaching for a pistol beneath the counter
and opening fire on the bandits. The
attempted hold-up dccurred about 10:30
Wednesday night.
Rigos was twice wounded in the duel,
one bullet penetrating his right shoulder
and coming out his back and another
bullet taking effect in his left hand. The
Greek was fired upon as he drew his
pistol from the counter. Returning the
fire, he followed the highwaymen into
the street and unloaded his pistol in
their direction as they fled down the
canal bank, which is about 30 yards
from the store.
Rigos, who is proprietor of the place,
was alone in the store when the two
men entered. After the shooting he
made the statement that they had come
into his place and ordered soft drinks,
and when he turned his back to procure
the drinks from the refrigerator he was
covered by the highwayman standing
nearest hjjn. Upon reaching for hIS
pistol, which he kept on a shelf just be
neath the cash register, the ringleader
opened fire.
There was considerable excitement in
the neighborhood, some 10 or 12 shots
being fired by the Greek and the bandits
R. E. Elliott, Robert C. Bailey, Jr., and
Harry Shapiro, who live in the neigh
borhood, went to the rescue (ft Rigos,
but the. hlghvfaymen had disappeared
when they reached the scene. Mr. El
liott furnished an automobile to carry
the wounded man to the hospital, where
Thursday morning it was reported that
he was resting comfortably and in no
danger.
Officers who reached the scene after
the shooting were told that ltigos at sIJI
times kept a large roll of money in his
cash register, having some S6OO in cash
which he displayed when making change.
It was the opinion of these officers that
the men who held up the Greek had
seen this rolf of currency and this was
their object in making th<j4r daring at
tempt to rob Rigos.
Rigos is one of Augusta's most popu
lar young Greeks, having friends on
every side. He is highly regarded in
that community, and while admiring his
daring in defying the bandits, it is gen
erally regretted that he was wounded.
NEW PLAN SUGGESTED
FOR RAIL SOLUTION
Washington. —Creation of a department
of transportation in ths lorsrnmont, to
be headed by three director*, wa* pro
posed Wednesday by A. P. Thom, a* the
plan of the Association of Railway execu
tive* for a permanent solution of the
railroad problem.
Speaking before the convention of the
American Association of Short Line Rail
roads, Mr. Thom said the department
would be charged with the duty of rep
resenting the public in all traffic matters
and the interstate commerce commission
would order into effect the rates indicated
by it.
t * v. „ i♦ 4 .. <
Criticism of the Interstate commerce
commission by Mr. Thom as too much ex.
posed to the Influences of public opinion
to adjust rates on the basis of the roads,
necessities evoked opposition from several
speakers and the convention passed a
rising vote of confidence In the govern
ment’s rate-making body
S. Davies Warfield, president of the
National Association of Owners of Hall
road Securities, declared he could not
concur In the criticism of the Interstate
commerce commission.
"1 believe It Is essential for congress
to stipulate a definite rule for rate-mak
ing.” Mr. Warfield said, '*As a guide
to the Interstate commerce commission
In making rates sufficient to yield a min
imum percentage on the Investment The
commission has been without definite di
rection.”
Mr Warfield suggested B per cent as
the return, all over that to be divided be
tween shippers and employes.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
HOOVER REPORTS ON
SURVEY OF EUROPE'S
FOOD NECESSITIES
Paris.—A preliminary survey of the im
port necessities of Europe, except Rus
sia, shows that the area will need 700,-
000,000 bushels of wheat and rye at a
minimum or 850,000,000 bushels as a pos
sible maximum, Herbert e. Hoover, head
of the allied relief organization, said in
a statement issued Tuesday. The ex
port surplus of wheat and rye from the
larger exporting countries Indicate that
the needs of Europe can b • met. Mr.
Hoover estimates the exports of the
United states at 470,000,000 bushels. Con
sumption in the United States has in
creased to a remarable degree, he says.
“Through our organization and in co
operation with the various governments,”
the statement says, “we have completed
a preliminary survey of the food pros
pects of Europe and the Import necessi
ties, outside Russia, for the harvest year
beginning August Ist, and the world’s
supplies available to meet these needs.
; “We estimate the total prospective Eu
ropean yield of wheat and rye outside
Russia, as of May Ist, after deducting
seed, at 1,550.000,000 bushels. 'Phis in
dicates a crop of about 77 per cent of
pre-war normal. The pre-war consump
tion. outside of seed, was about 2,500,000.-
000 bushels, indicating a net import of
ab >ut 050,000,000 bushels if consumption
were normal next year. The somewhat
i diminished populations and the diirrin-
I ixhed buying power militate against full
normal consumption, but the least pos
! sible consumption with the maintenance
of public health we estimate at 2.250.000.-
000 bushels, or an import on a minimum
basis of about 700,000,000 bushels.
