The last legislature passed law
providing for penalty of 500 for
any person who re-ships ice cream or
milk cans back to the factory with
out thoroughly cleansing them. This
law will soon take effect and the
Dairy and Food Department proposes
to vigorously enforce the same and
wherever ice cream cans are found
unwashed at any station, prosecutions
for the violation of this law will be
instituted.

Dear Sir
We have been doing our best to
get the work started on the gas plant
this summer, but the tightening of the
money market this spring and early
summer made it impossible to get
money for beginning new construc-
ton work
Conditions are easing up now, how
ever, and we may begin work this
fall and finish in the spring as we are
anxious to begin this job as soon as
possible The proposition as an in
vestment is an excellent one 1t is
merely case of waiting. until money
loosens up,
We want the people to know that
we are con the job" and they will
get their gas as soon as it is possible
to give it to them.
Sincerely yours,

Save Ysur Corn and Hay.

The federal government has is
sued its estimate for the corn crol
for this year and places it at a LITTLE
more than 100000 900 bushels less
than last year When we stop t
figure out what this enormous. de.
crease sn production means it be.
comes quite apparent that we may
expect much higher prices for A.
merica's greatest cereal. We have
been paying around a dollar bush
el for corn on the farms of tits sec
ton for the past four or five years,
and it is Exceedingly doubtful if a
more profitable crop than this can
be raised hereabouts, especially
when we consider that cowpeas can
also be g~owu with the crop.
The great corn belt Of the Middle
West has been hard hit 10y the drouth
during the past two months, and
while the corn has been damaged
the hay crop also has suffered great
", and though it appears as if we
will grow enough corn and hay in
this part Of Georgia to supply our
local demands yet it will be well for
every former in this section to de-
vote all possible time and energy to
saving hay and corn, together with
other feedstuff this fall.
The evolutions Of the season are
incomprehensible, for last year We
had poor crops and the West was
waxing fat, but now the tables are
turned. 1t is up to US to display
thrift and industry in times like
these and help to supply the world
in addition to supplying
our own needs, for it is only by CO.
operation and extension in agricul
ture, commerce and industry that
we can ever hope to rise above TIE
mrdicoro stage Of everyday life.
Through such efforts We will fill
niche in the worlds great plan Of
progress and eventually develop our
sections and add to the happiness Of
all creation. Milledgeville News

Need Of the Rest Cure.

Again has attention been called
to the rapid increase in the percent
age Of insane persons the world
over. A scientist at the London
Medical Conference expressed the
fear that the world is going mad"
Testimony Of alients in noted crimi.
nal trials in recept years indicate
that there are many varieties Of in
sanity that were unknown to our
forefathers. Fights among heirs OF
big estates have developed some I'M
usual testimony to show that the
men who built up the estates were
insane.
Not long ago it was said that be-
cause certain rich man insisted
upon giving a place at his table to a
pet cat he didn't have intelligence
enough to divide properly the mil
lions lie accumulated But II it is
true that the world is on the verge
of being enc vast mad house it is
we'll to direct the best efforts Of
science to the task Of steadying the
mind.

A little moving city, we fight across thu

The shore grown faint behind US, ant

There is no shore;
The sky is. blue above me,
Below how blue the sea
A city well name thee, o ship in thee
dazzling day,
Tossing freely before you the cloud Of the
rainbow spray;
A little moving city, alone on the face
Of the deen;
For out of their tereible cites whence
the cries Of the wretched leap,
Out Of their terrible cities, filthy and
gilded and proud,
Where hunger and surfeit elbow and tie
boast Of the strong is loud,
Where the harvest is ever ready and
bloody the crop they reap,
Man bringeth his soiling presents onto
the face Of the deep.
A little moving city SO piteous and so
proud
Down in the hole of the vessel, the weak
and the helpless crowd,
Packed like cattle for merket, in the air
that Won cannot breathe.
The stairs go down from the water, level
on level beneath;
Above, the cabinis gilded; the deck a.
bove how wide
Oh. very like to the city with the poor
BY the rich man' s side.
o Spirit OF the waters, 0 God OF the
splendid sky,
Here on the deep, they tell US, here is
thy Spirit night
But come not to close to our city
As it ploweth the foamy lee,
Lest even Thy patience fail Thee,
And Thou whelm the ship in the sea.
