AdverttKliiß rat«; are liberal v.< (\ will 1- made known on ap:*!lcati >n. Kntered at tJie rontoflico In P< '• > urui: As mail matter oi tin. second c! • The North cannot coin pete wil l the South in cotton, neither c;n the South compete with the N'ortl and Went in the wheat and eon market. Jf the South will oul.t raise corn, hay and meat for hoim consumption, it will beat what sin has been doing; The citizens of Waycross, in eon junction with the nearby farmers, have planned to establish a market ing place in that city for all classes of food products. They expect by this plan to bring the producer and consumer together, and thus afford a market to the producer that will enable him to get better prices for what lie has to sell and the consumer supplied with coun try produce fresh and fine at Jiv jug prices. Under the present pressure in the financial world some folks are tempted to “sull,” and some to “takeout.” The Tribune admits the cloud looks dark—but behind the darkest cloud God’s sunlight is shining, and marks the silver lining. His optimism is present to dissipate our pessimism. You may say it is useless to train yom sail for the wind when the wind is blowing against you; but remember all winds change and that it is a bad wind that blows no good. Uncle Sam’s Department, of Ag riculture tells us naively that “The quality of cane syrup depends more upon the man who makes it than upon the machinery he employs." Just so, that’s an old secret with the people of South Georgia. They know further that the quality and flavor of cane syrup depends upon the character of soil and fertilizer used in growing the sugar cane. Possibly the Department w ill make this discovery w ithin the next half century. The advice about putting up products destined for market in proper and attractive packages is as pretty as "Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver,” and is a del in qucucy among Southern farmers that is sorely in need of correction. Neither issue of Liberty Bonds was for the use of barter or trade. It was the purpose of the adminis tration to place these bonds of small denominations among the middle class of our people where they were expected to remain un til the day of their redemption. Tom Watson’s grand stand play about passing legislation moneliz ing these bonds is extreme folly. So far as Thrift Stamps are eon corned, they can be exchanged foi money at any time by applying to any postoffice. The effort of Tom Watson and his henchmen to dis credit the democratic administra tion because Liberty Bonds are not tender for the payment of debts will bear no fruit, it is "folly worse confounded." The Tribune notes that some of its cotemporaries got caught by that bundle of extravagancies sent out from Memphis, Tenn., in refer cnee to the cotton s i t u a t i on. Brethren, take that booklet, “The Outlook for Cotton,” and do some figuring on your own a c count. That booklet would lead you to be lieve that there was in existence January Ist. 1921, about thirty inilliou bales of uuspuu cotton, and quite enough to supply the demand for the two years of 1921 and 1922. The Tribune doubts the truth of this statement, but this does not authorize the advice to South Georgia farmers to plaut largely of cotton. South Georgia fanners should not unlearn the lesson that the Safety and success of their business lies in diversified farming, with only a small acreage in cot ton. The farmers of Atkinson and other South Georgia counties arc iu better condition than those Hopkins News-Letter. The Tribune brings us tty; sad news of the deaths of our Atkinson county neighbors—Messrs. •Ray mond Cowart, James L. Harrell and Biyant W. Douglass. The news is ladened with sorrow; but they are gone and we soon must follow. Our last prayer meeting, led by Miss Carter, the principal teacher n our school, was fine. She read a beautiful recitation on Friendship, l ive or six boys repeated the four teenth chapter of the Gospel by John from memory. Leon Paiford repeated the first five verses and ihe other boys foliowed with the remaining portion of the chapter. After the Scripture recitation by the boys, Miss Thelma Van landingham, another one of our school teachers, sang “Is that some body you” as a solo. It is very pleasing to see young boys go for ward and help in these religious services. On the Fifth Sunday Rev. Moody Booth, of Willacoocoee, was here and preached at 1 I o’clock on the Power of Prayer and at night on Looking at God as Truth. Both sermons were forceful and uplilt ing. Come again, Bro. Booth, we will be glad to have you any time. The Sunday-School at this place is one of tlie best; it is well attend ed every Sunday and much inter est manifested by all in the study of God’s word. The Ladies’ Aid Society is also doing a good work in our town. Our Literary school, under the leadership of Misses Carter find Vanlandingham, is getting along fine. These ladies came here stran gers, but they are experienced in school work, and by their general deportment have won the ad mini Lion of patrons And people. The mill is not working as many men as it did last year, nor paying .as high wages, but it is running and giving a lot of men work who need it. It, is doing a very good lumber business. There were sixty ears of lumber shipped from tin yards here in January. Men appreciate a job more now than twelve months ago and give better service. The cost of living is coming down and men who hold their jobs will make goud in the end. One man hit another on the head with a wrench over at Billy’s is Jand last week. lie was carried to Waycross Saturday where In died that night. 11 is wife was brought through Hopkins Sunday on a cot, being carried to him. She had a baby only a few days old. Oh, what crimes are being commit ted in our count ry. Don’t know who went to the dance. Don’t know whether or not they had one. Can’t tell you anything on this line. Joe Paiford and Alvin Janies visited home folks at Hopkins last Sunday. Rkx. Lenox, Ua„ Oct. 9, 1919 Mr. Guy A. Cox. <)mega, Ga.

Prominent Hog Raiser Says Pri ces Charged are Unwarrant ed Makes Hi 3 Own Hog Food With Bet ter Results. “That he is through paying fancy prices for stock foods and hog rem edies and that he is raising some of the best hogs ever placed on the market” was the statement made recently by E. H. Beck stead, well known hog raiser and authority on live stock. Air. Beckstead’s hogs are the en vy of his neighbors, and have “top ped the market” for several years iu lowa. He states that for years he bought high-priced hog foods and hog remedies, but he is all through paying extravagant prices for what he can make himself. He states that, what the hogs need are minerals, and tells the secret of Lis wonderful success by explain ing that In 1 takes about five pounds of ordinary mineraiine (which is pure concentrated minerals and cost only a couple of dollars) and mixes same with enough bran or filler to make a hundred pounds. All hogs and especially brood sows require minerals as they keep them free from worms, and in the pink of condition, and arc essential to the growth and a well balanced ration This inexpensive mixture placed in a sheltered box where the hogs can get at it as they need it, will produce far better results than any high priced stock foods. Send two dollars to The Miner aiine Chemical Co., 1(iJ8 North Wells St,, Chicago, 111., and they will forward you by prepaid parcel post, enough mineraiine to make a full hundred pounds.
