CORDELE SHOPPING RADIUS
IS MUCH WIDER THIS YEAR

1t is interesting to note that hun
dreds of the Christmas shoppers in
Cordele are coming in from a wide ra-
dius, scores of automobiles from sur
rounding points arriving daily. And
likewise Of equal interest and pride is
to observe that the Cordele merchants
are caring for the needs of these shop
pers superbly. The dry goods mer-
chants and grocers are well sharing
honors with the toy shop keepers in
the capital trade of the season. and
the drug store merchants and jewel
ers are keeping fast pace with the
various articles that holiday shopping
demands 1t is an overwhelming good

Christmas business, the best that Cor
dele merchants have experienced ir
some years.
The streets and stores are thronge1
from early till late at night, the in.
creased trade resulting from the fact
taht Cordele this time is the mecca
for increased numbers.
Another striking fact is that the
stores are exceptionally we'll decorat-
ed for the occasion. The interior dec
orations are especially we'll executed
the stocks are large and tasty and all
the shopping available in the larger
cities can be done here.

was seized with commissions from
which time his condition steadily grew

Sows fed on corn alone will not bring strong and heavy pigs. Feed some pea nuts, wheat shorts. tankage or sweet milk with the corn in the following proportion: Corn lnree parts and shorts one part; corn nine parts and ankage one part: corn two parts and peanuts one part in hull: corn three parts and bran one part; corn SIX parts and cowpeas one part
 A 250 pound SOW should have from five to seven pounds per day of one of the above mixtures if she is fed iii a dry lot and plenty of fresh water The brood SOW when carrying her lit- ter has to be fed with a view of feed
 Ing the growing pigs, and to lay the foundation for their future strength, trains upon the SOW at this time is furnishing bone making material. She therefore requires an extra amount of bone making feed Provide trough with wood ashes, charred corn cobs, charcoal and lime.
 If she is overfed at first, the pigs are likely to take the SCOUTS or thumps. No feed at all should be given for the frs "A hours. and verY little for several days. When on q full feed in a dry lot, she will eat about four pounds of grain per day for each 100 pounds she weighs. If she weighs 250 pounds she will need about 10 pounds per day. If she has the run of a good pasture at least one half of the grain will be saved IT no pasture can be provided she will need to be fed about the same as be- fore farrowing, except that she will need more grain When the pasture $ composed of Bermuda grass. a grain ration equivalent to three per cent of her live weight should be fed and the grain part of the ration should be shorts, tangage and peas
 Feed for the Pig Before Weaning. ! If given an opportunity the pigs win begin to eat when about three weeks old For these young animals noth. Ing is superior to skim milk with shorts Many farmers have no sum milk and in this case a thin slop or water and shorts will be the best
 hing to feed until the pigs are from

SOPHISTICATED POLICY

In the judgment of many, 1t is diff acult to understand why preparedness
 to meet a remotely possible attack by a foreign foe should take precedence over preparedness to conquer and overwhelm a known foe in our midst,
 who is every day defying us, and whose toll of death and disease rivals that of the battlefields of Europe. says the Union Signal official organ of the National w. C. T. U. There is pos sibly one chance in a thousand that our fathers. brothers. husbands and sons may be called upon at some fu- ture time to defend the saiety of this country from an alien enemy, but there is positive certainty that every day and night of every week until tile liquor traffic is put out of existence it will injure thousands of our young men, physically mentally and spirit ually; and that this injury will not end with this generation. but will af. feet disastrously the next generation.
 A policy so short sighted that it neg lects to guard against a recognized, immediate, continuing peril of gigantic proportions in order to prepare for one
 which may never have to be faced. is
 unworthy of enlightened America.

LABOR AND PROHIBITION.

The trend of sentiment of organ ized labor is towards prohibition" said Richard Jones of Duluth, a member of the Minnesota state senate, speaking before the Scandinavian Socialist or ganization.
 Some trade union leaders claim that prohibition would make for non- employment. If this is so why have locomotive engineers to the number of 10000 indorsed 1t? If prohibition is inimical to the interests of labor, why did the southern labor congress- composed of men from nine southern states, refuse to ask for a repeal of the prohibition laws of the South when requested to do so by the United Brewery Workmen of America? Lo- cal labor leaders may insist that the saloon is a poor mans club, but the American Federation of Labor at it's convention at Toronto condemned the use of that term.
 We are urged not to vote men out of employment in business which Is destructive to society. l would vote those men out of that employment and into something valuable to them. selves and their fellow men. I would like to have a chance to vote about 5,0OO,000 men in Europe out of their present jobs. If this principle applies in one case why not in another? To advocate peace in Europe would throw thousands of workmen in America who are engaged in the manufacture of munitions of war out of their present employment, but thousands of trade unionists and Socialists are today do- ing all in their power to spread anti. nilitaristic propaganda among their 1 fellow workers"

 Club Work.
 Good, sound, thrifty pigs, weighing from 35 to 40 pounds each when eight weeks old do not come by luck" To be lucky with pigs simply means hard persistent work, good judgment and being on the job night and day. To produce good strong, healthy pigs, they must be looked after before they are born. The mother must be cared for and well fed if she is to give birth to a strong litter
 The Shelter: In the spring or sum- mer season the SOW is quite able to take care of herself She will steal away in the pasture and in a day or two will come up with a nice litter of pigs. But for the SOW that far rows in the winter months some pro- lection must be given her and her lit CT 4NOthing is better for this than a warm shed open to the south to get the sunshine. The cold winds come from the north, northeast and north west, hence any shed enclosed on those three sides is sufficient To pre- vent the SOW from crushing the pigs at farrowing time a scantling should he nailed to the inside of the house about eight inches above the ground and projecting toward the center of the pen.
