this fair, as it will be worth your
while to meet with the other boys

Picnic at Lake Beatrice.

There was a delightful picnic at
Lake Beatrice on last Tuesday after
noon, given by the members of the
Romeda Club, formerly called the
Thimble Club. The guests of the
occasion were the husbands. The
unique part of this picnic being that
the children were left at home.
However, the few hours were much
enjoyed, and the lunch was the best
that eleven good cooks could pre-
pare, and few. if any, will be served
to better one again this season,
though all are enthusiastic about
having just such another soon.
The crowd went over in carriages
and automobiles, and was composed
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Justice, Mr..
and Mrs. E. j. Hammond, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. N. Davis, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed.
Whitman, Mr., and Mrs. Ed. Hussey,
MIR. and Mrs. Ray Frey, Mr. and Mrs.

Boys Corn Clubs.
TETON, GA, April 80, 1912.
Dear Corn Club Members:

Dear Corn Club Members:
am writing you this letter to
assure you Of my great interest in
you and your corn, and am wishing
for you the greatest success possible
in this contest.
AS should be expected, of course
| am exceedingly anxious to see
some one of you boys win the first
prize in the state, and there is no
reason why you should not. You
have some of the best soil in the
state, the climate is ideal, the moist
ure supply has been plentiful so far
and will continue so, and this is
all to your advantage-and I believe
you are as good boys as can be
found in the state. Then why not
win? You can do it. Go after it
with all your might.
want to make a few suggestions
to you. Read carefully every bulle-
tin sent you by both the State Col
lege Of Agriculture and the United
States Department of Agriculture.
You will note in these bulletins
that one essential thing to do is to
cultivate often and soon after every
rain, unless it rains every day. 1t
is notable fact that the largest
yield ever produced by a boy was
done by eleven civilizations.
The cultivation should be shallow,
however, not over one and half
inches deep, if possible. This can
best be done with some form of
spring-tooth cultivtor or spike tooth
or with scooter ana scrape if you
can't do any better. The first cult
walton given might be deep, as it
will help to keep the soil loose for a
time, which will be beneficial.
There are very handsome prizes
offered to you in your county,
and there are more than $4,000
offered in the state. Among those
offering prizes in the South Georgia
Land and Industrial Exposition to
be held at Triton, Ga, sometime this
fall. want you to keep this in
mind and select 10 ears of your very
best corn from your acre and send

Our Washington Letter.

From the Bureau of Publicity Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress, 82B-825 Colorado Bldg,
Washington, D. C.
Washington, d. G, May g.
The river and harbor appropria-
ton bill which has been under
consideration by the Senate Com
mituee on Commerce for the past
month has been reported to the
upper branch of Congress and will
be k up Immediately. 1t
carries in round numbers $34, 053,-
900, being an increase of $780,
900 over the House measure. The
increases are largely due to the
demands of flooded sections of the
country, particularly along the
Mississippi and the Missouri. the
necessity for emergency appropri-
ations to strengthen levees and
repair crevasses adding consider
ably to the amount which the bill
carries.
While the bill does not appro-
pirate as large an amount as the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress has stood for in its resolu-
tions the officers of the orgonlza-
ton feel encouraged over the
growing sentiment for generous
waterway bill making yearly ap-
PREPARATIONS for approved pro-
jects. Less and less does the per-
sonal side of legislation enter into
the consideration of the measure.
and each project is coming to stand
on its own merits rather than on
log-rolling which marked the bill
IN years gone by.

FL PASO LADY FOUND
ADVICE TO BE GOOD
Plant Juice Proved To Be
Just What Mr.. Friar,
the Grocer, Needed.

Mrs. Friar, wife of W S. Friar, the
grocer and meat market man at 2lOO
Myrtle avenue, this city, said:
Il want another bottle of Plant Juice.
My husband has taken one bottle. He IS
using it as a general tonic and it seems
to be just what he needed My atten-
ton was called to it by one of our
neighbors who had been using it and
spoke very highly of it"
Most people who first buy Plant Juice
do it upon the recommendation of some
one of their friends. Its effects in nearly
every case are the most satisfactory
and gain for it warm praise and the
good will of the user. There is no
tonic that has sprung so rapidly into
popularity. This is due entirely to its
merit. It is purely vegetable rare
combination of juices of medicinal
plants. In almost incredible time it
restores vitality, puts new life, energy
and hope into you. If you are physi-
caIly run down, suffer with any de-
rangement of stomach. liver, kidneys,
or blood, you should lose no time in
calling at Kelly & POllard's drug store
for a bottle of Plant Juice.
