FLAG DAY. JUNE Il. 1917.

June the 14th, 1777, the glorious
Star Spangled Banner was flung to
the breeZes as the standard sheet of
American freedom; the harbinger of
victory the exponent of a great lib
erty. Thursday, June IA, 1917, the
one hundred and forty-ninth anniver-
sarys Of this great event known as
Flag Day." fall in a troubled and
significant time. That which we had
been told could never happen, is hap
pening now. Vast armies of men are
locked in the greatest conflict in hui
man history. America has been
drawn into the swirling waters of the
bloody,vortex, and wasted nations are
looking to the glorious banner of our
country bring them peace and lib
erty. So at this time the American
people look upon their flag with a new
emotion. A new spirit and new pur-
pose are quickened by the problems
of the day. We are called back by
the flag to the ideals of the founders
of the republic; which conceived an
Americanism robust and virile, inspir-
ed by a self-reliant patriotism fit to
cope with and conquer danger at home
and abroad.
Special and impressive Flag Day ex-
ercises will be held by Fort Early
chapter d. A. R. at it's chapter meet
ing Thursday afternoon, but the &C.
casion should be made fuller, larger
and more significant by the entire city
Selling the opportunity to honor the
flag and the country by displaying an
alert and patriotic spirit in the
prompt investment of Liberty Bonds
on this the closing day for that work.
And thus manifest a will and spirit
which shall serve as foundation for
the courage and devotion which shall
be needed to preserve our institutions
and our ideals and, aid in giving to all
mankind the liberty which is ours.
Let Flag Day 1917, be indeed day
of service. Buy Liberty Loan Bond
and honor Old Glory.

sANDERS-BAZEMORE.

The elimination of pretty ro'
nance of several years was the mar
riage of Miss Ollie Sanders and Mr..
George Bazemore which occurred last
Sunday morning. Though the en-,
gagement of this popular young cou-

surprise Sunday morning, when ac-
companied by Mr.. Aubrey Bazemore
and Mr. and Mrs. George Holmes, they
repaired to the Baptist pastorium and
had the nuptial knot tide.
The bride was becomingly attired in
travelling suit of gold with touches OF
blue trimmings, with shoes and hat
to match. The words uniting these
young lives were impressively spoken
by Rev. J. H. Coin of the First Bap-
fist church.
After the ceremony the happy cou-
pie motored to Indian Springs for a
brief wedding trip. On their return
they will be at home to their many
friends at the Commercial hotel.
This marriage is of cordial interest
to the many friends of this couple in
Cordele and over the state. The
bride is quite a pretty young woman
and is the eldest daughter of Mrs.

sunny disposition, and splendid quail
ties of head and heart she has drawn
around her a warm circle of friends
in the few years she has made Cordele
her home.
Mr.. Bazemore is the eldest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. o. S. Bazemore, and is

The most economical way Of ham

tice would end a waste through wrong

quently, however, 1t is not the right
way. For instance, such practices as
pulling the fodder" or topping" the
corn are most wasteful, but approx
mately 30 per cent of matured corn
Is handled in n Of these two ways.
The stalks that are left standing In
the field are pastured, plowed, under

To burn slower Is a crime against
Intelligent agriculture for which 1t is
difficult to find any explanation ex-
cept obstinate ignorance on the part
Of the perpetrators. 1t offers a quick
and easy method of clearing the
ground for blowing, but that is a small
offset for the waste Of good material.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
Swine are probably grown in prac-
tically every locality and on almost
every type of soil in the United States.
Although the most heavily stocked re-
giOn Is found In the corn belt, the East
and the South are increasing the num-
Der Of their swine at a rapid rate, very
largely because of the use of pasture
crops to replace part Of the grain ra-
ton. In fact. hogs are grown un-
der many different methods of farming
and fed upon a great variety Of crops,
showing that they are well adapted to
almost any condition found upon the
farms of this country.
Ideal Location.
An ideal location is on a well-drain-
ed farm possessing a rich soil that will
produce grasses and other forage as
well as the grains needed for fatten-
ing the hogs. This does not mean,
however, that only those farmers hold
ing rich, level lands should raise
hogs, for, as a matter of fact, hogs
are most easily handled on farms that
are somewhat rolling. For the pro-
duction Of forage crops the rolling
farm Is often as good as the level one,
and frequently has the added advan-
tage of shade and a better water sup
ply. The hill farmer does not have
the best Of 1t in all things, but in
many instances he has certain advan-
tages which he does not appreciate.
In locating, the question of q mar.
ket also must be considered. and the
facilities for reaching it. Most COM
munitles are connected with the large
central live stock markets by the rail-
roads, but these will be of little avail If
the roads to the railroads are poor.
Good roads are of inestimable impor-
lance, for, among other things, they
enable the farmer to market his prod
ucts at any and all times.
Right Number Of Hogs.
The number Of hogs for each farm
must be determined by a study of To-

TIRE NEGLECT IS EXPENSIVE

Each Year by carelessness Of
Motor Owners.

Tire manufacturers for some time
past have been warning the motorist
to exercise m and judgment In the
use Of his tires in order that the wear
may be lessened. 1t has been esti-
mated that during the year 1916 mo-
torists averaged about $50 waste each
In tire usage, or a grand total of $780,
100000 for the entire country because
Of neglect.
The use of q little common sense Is
all that Is necessary to remedy this
condition. 1t has been almost impos-
slble for tire manufacturers to keep
pace with the production Of new cars
and at the same time meet the de-
mands Of the cars now in use. An
actual shortage now exists In SOM
sizes.
Due to the foresight Of many
dealers, 1t may be a couple Of months
before the u will actually feel
this shortage, but when he does 1t will
bring home to him as nothing else
can the necessity Of giving tires the
care that they should have, and there
by add much to the service that they
will give.

MOTOR FOLDS Up"
Space Economy in Shipment At
tanned by Construction Of
Collapsible Body.
BODY IS BUILT IN SECTIONS
Invention Is Of Particular Importance
at Present Time, When Shortage
Of Freight Cars Is Acute-idea
Of South African.

OF importance to a manufactur
ers and owners alike is the develop
ment Of a motor car body which Is
built in sections and held together by
a few bolts, states Scientific American
The novel invention Is of particular
value at the present time when the
shortage Of freight cars Is acute, for
the sectional body may be packed for
shipment in a case no larger than that
required for the chassis alone, and as
a result the capacity Of a box car is
more than doubled.
The saving that such an improve
ment mean to builders Of motor cars
and shippers should run into huge fig
ures If the device is adopted to any
great extent, and more important still
to the general public Is the fact that
freight cars may be released for other
transportation of vital Importance,
such as the hauling Of food, supplies
and munitions. Prompter deliveries
than would otherwise be possible
should result from the ability to load
twice as many motor cars in a box
car than 1t will contain by the pres
ent method.
Idea Of South African.
A South African, Robert Booth Of
johannesburg, engaged in the ship
ping business, was impressed by the
cumbersome form and size of a bod
les packed for shipment. For several
years he worked upon a type Of body
that could be assembled and knocked
down and finally succeeded In build
ing one composed Of panels almost
fiat. The sectional body was given a
thorough test In England, and was
mounted upon a chassis that Travelled
1000 miles yer all kinds Of roads
without working loose at the joints.
No tightening Of the bolts was re-
quired, and nj squeaks or rafting
noises indicated any tendency to work
apart under the vertical and lateral
movements Of the motor car.
The body rendered as good service
as If 1t were In M piece, and there
was nothing in its appearance to in
ulCdtc tHdt IL was uOI d StduudIu
body. The joints are all covered by
beading, and the lines are as graceful
as those of any modern cal.
Assembling Of Body.
The assembling Of an entire body
requires only about half an hour for
a couple of men, while the removal Of
the zeal seat or one Of its panels is the
work of a few moments. The panels
are easily removed. because 1t is only
necessary to turn back flaps of the up
holstery to reveal the bolts that join
the parts.
The body now In New York was
shipped from England in a case 6
feet by s feet by 20 inches, with a
content Of SO cubic feet. while the
same body, a four-passenger model,
II built in mi piece, would require
more than 166 cubic feet Of space
when packed for shipment.

cal conditions and the type Of farming.
The maximum number Of hogs per acre
Is found on farms chiefly or wholly de-
voted to the raising Of that class of
stock; as for example, farms In the
state Of Iowa, where 1t is quite COM
mon to see farms stocked with several
hogs to the acre, while the average
for the entire state is n to every
three acres Of improved farm land. Un-
der average conditions in this coun-
try, however, hogs return the largest
profit when raised to utilize waste
products, and when kept for this pur-
pose alone the number will depend
upon the quantity Of waste products
to be consumed. Skim milk from dairy
herds, shattered grain from grain
fields, u~nmarketable products from the
truck farm, undlgested grain in the
droppings of fattening steers, and
many other minor wastes on the aver
age farm are examples of feedstuffs
which would be wasted were 1t not for
their utilization by the thrifty farm
er for the production Of pork.
Utilize Waste Products.
In order to utilize some Of these
products 1t Is necessary to have a num-.
Der Of pigs on hand for a relatively
short time on account Of the perish.
able nature of these feeds. The rest
of the year the fattenlng pigs and the
breeding stock must be maintained
upon feed raised expressly for their
consumption, and while they are not
kept at a loss during this time, still
the greatest profit is derived when
they are eating the cheap feed in the
form Of waste products. The num-
Der Of hogs which can utilize the waste
to the best advantage, therefore,
should be the limited factor in deter
mining the number Of hogs to the
farm. On farms in the corn belt,
where hogs are raised simply to mar
ket the corn crop on the hoof, the num-
Der Is controlled by the amount Of corr
which can ,proftably be raised to fat
ten them.
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1917-09-21

Flowing under and pasturing are bet
ter, but they also involve some waste.
On the other hand, ensiling the
slower means that Its feeding value Is
utilized to the full. A quantity Of
roughage Is provided which lessons the
need for expensive concentrates and
makes the production of meat more
profitable by lowering the cost Of
manufacture. Obviously, this Is a
stimulus to the keeping Of live stock,
which from every point of view is
most desirable.
In preparing slower for feeding, chop
ping or shredding increases its palata-
bility and enables a greater quantity to
be stored in a given space. Both of
these methods, however, involve the
use Of additional labor and can only
be recommended when labor and power
are cheap and abundant. Cutting and
shocking, on the other hand, involve
some waste, but in general this Is of
set by the saving In labor.

nervous, always on the go. like a sur
charged battery. stirring up everybody
he m in contact with, forcing them
along ut top speed"
Here Is what Is said of the junior
major general. who commands the d.
vision In the field:
"Sibert Is a deliberate, methOdical,
t~ireless worker, watching every detail,
insistent that reports of his young of.
ficers be accurate, comprehensive, Ov-

FLOWING DESTROYS WEEDS
Frequent and Thorough Cultivation Of
Seeded Before Sowing viii
Check Growth.

(By ANDREW BOSS, Agriculturist, Uni.
versity Farm. st. Paul. Minn.)
Prevent pigweed from going to seed,
and avoid sowing the seed in grain
and grass seeds. Frequent and thor
ough cultivation Of the seeded before
sowing the seed will check growth in
grain fields. Good blowing, thorough
cultivation, with some hand hoeing
and pulling, will eradicate the weed
from cultivated crops. 1t does not
give serious trouble In fields where
crops are grown in a good rotation. It
Is most troublesome In gardens, but
shallow cultivation and hoeing or pull
Ing by hand will eradicate 1t.
