GEORGIA PRODUCTS At
DINNER NOVEMBER IS

H. G. Hastings president of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce, an
Inounces that Thursday, November u
will be Georgia Products Day this
year and ur2es that the people of
Georgia celebrate the day as never
before. Georgia Products Day was in
Iaugurated to stimulate the production
OF food and feed stuffs in Georgi, to
Offset the coming of the boil weevll;
mad the production of food and feed
is primarily the frs war measure at
this time, for it is believed that the
winning of the war depends on the
matter of food for our allies, our
soldiers, as well as our own people.
Georgia Products Day is celebrated
by the holding of public dinners i'll
all cities and towns of the state and
this November marks the fifth annual
event in Georgia 1t is urged that
the menus be simple ones, consisting
of fruits, vegetables and grain mostly,
in view of the very earnest desire to
conserve the meat supply of our coun-
try However, Georgia produces
abundantly of these products, as well
as 'possum, rabbit, fowl, ect. that
would go to make up the meat course
on a Georgia Products dinner.
The Georgia Society of the city of
New York will make their dinner a
Georgia Products dinner this year.
This will be a splendid piece of adver-
Using for Georgia, and will be means
of stimulating market in that city
for food grown in this state. Mr.
Powell Crichton, secretary of the Geor-
gia Society calls for contributions
from Georgia to the dinner in New
York, and asks that each and every
county in Georgia contribute some
article of food for this dinner Mr.
Chrichton's address is 100 Broadway,
New York city. Thesuccess of the
dinner in New York city will depend
largely upon the cooperation and
support given by the citizens of Geor-

SELLS BOOZE TO BOY.
Furnishes Lad With Liquor Which
Goes For Bootlcgging.

Theodore koiinski. eleven years old i,
lives in Benwood. w. Va. There are
no saloons in that state. but just
across the Ohio river Is Bellaire, Bel
mont county. Ohio. Bel,aire is wet
and has many Home Rule" saloons
voted on it by Cincinnati. One of
the men OF good moral character
who runs saloon in Bellaire fur
nished Theodore with beer and whis-
key. put the liquor into his wagon for
him. and the lad took it across to
Benwood and delivered it to pur-
chasers.
Ofiicers searched the Kolinski home
and found the liquor The boys par
ents were arrested There were sew
eral small children in the family and
two infants went to jail with their
mother. The father pleaded guilty
and was fined 500 and given sixty
days in Jail. The mother received a
fine and Jail sentence.
Doubtless there will be an Ohio
end to this story as the grand jury
OF Belmont county is investigating
the action OF the Bellaire saloon
keeper who sold the liquor to this lit
tie boy. After July /, when the fed
cral bone-dry law goes into effect, a
saioonkeeper guilty of such an offense
will be amenable not only to the state
law. but to the federal statute as well.
