The Spring really seems to have come; but gardeners, fruit growers and p’anters keep fearing Hat we will have another freeze before “old Man Winter” makes his, exit. A special from Atlanta says it has been found that thousands of the city ladies are buying dress goods, suits nr.d especially milli nery from the smaller towns. These ladies have found the style as good while the price is very much lower. i There is no such thing as man’s rights and woman’s tightssepurat and distinct from each other. Wo man’s rights are simply human rights. The sexes belong to each other; whst benefits one helps the other; what elevates either'.upiiita both, Man is the outdoor and woman the indoor partner in the firm of humanity.

HOME GARDENS CUT STORE BILLS President Georgia Chamber Of-Com. merce Shows How Millions Were Saved Last Year Atlanta, Georgia.—(Special.) —"Mere money was saved in 1917 through the medium of the home ga 'den than ever before, the United States Department of Agriculture estimating that there were fully one million new gardens made last year,” says H. G. Hartings, President cf the Southeastern Fair and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, in an interview reviewing the 1917 farming operation-s in the South. “Thousands upon thousands of our people in the South.” said Mr. Hast ings, “for the first time in their lives learned to appreciate the money sav ing power cf the home garden, proper ly planned, prepared for. planted and kept planted during the entire sea son.” “Up to the present it has been very bard to get our people to consider the home garden seriously as a real sub atantial factor in food production with the consequent saving of money that went for food supplies at the store. Unless wo are much mistaken the home garden will from now on be taken as seriously as any ether part of the farm work. • “A quarter to a half acre devoted to a variety of vegetables liked Ly the family can be kept going nearly ,th«r whole year In tho South and give Its owner an much a-, the product of two or Lin e acre- < f co .ton, eve i at pres ent prices, will buy at the store. The right kind ot a g;irden means an abundapce of Ig i-lthful food •during spring, summer and fall and an abund ance either canned or dried for win ter use.” "Let no one b" fooled by the lies spread abroad that the Government Is going to seize home canned goods on closet shelves In the farm or home. These lies are started by Ger run agents tor the express purpose of discouraging <4ir people in, increased food production and saving Few can go t.e tho firing line, but all can join in and have a part in home produc tion of food. "Wo have never seen a permanent ly prosperous farm section either In 1 the United States or in foreign coun tries that was not a diversified sec tion, and in every diversified section the homo garden has an honored ana valued place. The homo garden is a store bill cutter of tho first raak.” Leave To Sell Georgia, Miller Oouuty: T<> whom it may concern: Not ice % hereby given that 11. B, Hixon, pa administrator of A.
