How may we know that we
need glasses? If you have eye
strain you may have one or more
of the following named symp-
TOMS
Eyes tire on near use. Vision
dim at a distance or at ten inches
from the eyes. Eyes burn or lids
itch and twitch. Eyeballs and
lids become inflamed. The lids
feel droopy and heavy.
We get drowsy and sleepy aft
or reading a few minutes. We
have a tendency tc seek a better
light or to push the book or paper
farther from the eyes, or we
sometimes wear our glasses
farther down on the nose, which
is very injurious to the eyes.
We may have perfect vision
for any and all distances and
yet have all kinds of headaches
due solely to eye-strain. All of
the above and many more indi-
cate that glasses are needed re-
gardless of age.
DR.. Hutchison, the Valley OPP

with glasses. He may be con-

Bylaws Committee of Produce Ex-
change viii Report Thursday. You
Are Expected to BE Present.

Editor Dawson News Some
weeks ago a steG was taken looking
to the organization G. IN association
10 be known as the Southwest Geor-
eia Produce Exchanc-" whose pur-
Ipose is the encouragement of diversi-
ifcatiOn of crops, the raising Of truck
and the intimate cooperation Of all
farmers who are willing to become
bers of such an organization.
This cooperation is not intended to
only extend to the matter of planting,
yuc to all matters relating to either
the production or sale of products.
1t is intended to have at least one
official whose duty it will be to keep
in touch with markets, both in the
matter of purchase and sale. 1t is
hoped and expected that it will not
be long before in this way there will
be no trouble experienced in the dis
position of crops of every kind, and
that by combinations in various pur-
chases which will become necessary
all members will be able to save an
amount not negligible to their inter-
est.
There is much which might be
said here in favor of the proposed
organization, but we presume it is
not necessary. Suffice it to say some
thing is needed, and it behooves ev-
cry one to join in the effort to secure
that Something"
The committee appointed to draft
certain regulations has acted, and
takes this method of asking every
one who has already signified his in
tentiOn Of becoming a member of
this organization, and every one else
interested, to meet in the county
court room on Thursday morning of
this week at 10 o'clock. Very re-
spectfully, BYLAWS COMMITTEE.
