UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY TO
BUY WESTERN BEEF CATTLE.

The ABBA Railroad, working in CO.
operation with Government authori-
ties at Washington, is in touch with
farmers in that part of Texas affect
ed by the drouth, who own large num-
bers of fine type of beef cattle, in
Guiding Herefords, Short Horns and
Angus, which must be sold at sac
rifce.
These cattle are perhaps thin, but
otherwise in good condition, and can
be purchased at from $4,000 to $1,000
per head; the average price will prob
ably be around $500 per head. The
misfortune of the Texas stockmen Of
fers a splendid opportunity for Geor-
gia farmers to replace the piney-
woods cattle with the finest type of
beef cattle at price that anyone can
afford to pay
he ABBA is arranging to send one
or both of its Agricultural Field
Agents, Messrs. w. R. Tucker, to
Fitzgerald, and L. G. Proctor of Tai
ladega, Ala, to Texas to assist Geor-
gia farmers in purchasing some of
these cattle. Anyone interested
should make his plans to accompany
these men, If there are others who
may not be able to go, and will place
their orders with us within the next
two weeks, and arrange through his
bank in payment for purchases made
we shall be very glad to act accord
ing to our best Judgment in filling
| these orders. MeSsrs Tucker and Proc,
tor are both experienced men, they
having made several trips to the
West purchasing registered stock for
Georgia breeders, and can be depend
ed on to use good Judgment and con
servatism in filling any orders which
may be placed with them by Geor
gia farmers.
The information we have come di
rect from the United State Depart
nent of Agriculture in Washington
which leads us to believe this is the
best opportunity that has ever been
offered for the Georgia Alabama farm
ers to start in the stock business
right.

EVEN ATLANTA FRIGHTENED
BY SHORTENING SHORT SKIRTS

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 21.-Where is
the short skirt craze going to lead to-?
From Paris comes the word to At
lanta dealers in womens ready-to-
wear that they are going still higher
and some of the more conservative
merchants, who are prominent in
church and Sunday school circles,
are beginning to get uneasy concern
ing the upward tendency.
Already it has reached the point
where grown women no longer to be
classed in the chicken category wear
skirts halfway up to their knees, and
the spectacle along Peachtree street
in the afternoon rush hour is no sight
to delight the eyes of an evangelist.
If they go much higher the women
might as we'll put on their bathing
suit skirts and let it go at that.

intoxicating when drunk to excess"

Following the wishes of President
Wilson, the National Community
Trade Bureau OF Washington is put
ting into action a nationwide propa-
ganda for the purpose Of encouraging
wartime thrift.

Modern Housewife Magazine, plans
the organization of local Thrift Clubs

perts secured to contribute to the Of
icial magazine The cooperation
with other war organizations will be
encouraged Local trading will be
urged from the standpoint of econo-

connection it is pointed out that the
enroachment of the big mail order
houses is becoming serious to the
retail merchant: one house spending
the sum of $3,500,0 600 annually for cata-
logues alone.
The national community trade bu-
reau will also furnish local retail
merchants with bulletins written by
ttade experts giving new ideas in
business management, especially in
the matter of reducing costs in ship
pins handling, storing, selling and

CONGRESS TO TAKE
RECESS SEPT. 18th
LEADERS HAVE PROGRAM READY
FOR WiNDUP OF sESSIoN-WAR
TAX BILL WAITING.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 19.-The
legislative program remaining for
the extra session of Congress has as
sumed such definite form that lead
ers tonight expressed hope for a va
cation about Sept Is, or not later
than Oct l.
Included in the program for dis
posal within the next three or four
weeks are:
The $1,000, 100000 war tax bill.
A new war budget authorizing
about $7,5OO,OOO,OOO in bonds, prob
ably at per cent. for new loans to

authorized and providing for $4,000,

bers believe it will go over into next

disposed of virtually all minor ques.
tons, will enter upon decisive and
vigorous disputes over the income,
war profits, publishers and consump-
ton tax provisions. Senator La Fol
lette plans a lengthy speech tomor-
row in an effort to increase the in
come and profits rates, with Senate
sentiment strong again for a higher
levy on war profits.

revenue measure, Senate leaders
plan to give a short time to peace de-
bate, on resolution of Senator La Fol
lette and others. Administration and
some Republican leaders expect to
