WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. - With
Americas great food control program
now officially launched, evidence OF
anti-war agents to block it's progress

Official reports show that housewives,
particularly in remote sections of the
country, are being told all fruits and
vegetables canned will be coniscated
for war purpose.
The agents even say the women them
selves will soon be conscripted. Hoov-

and ultimately fill UP the gap caused ny

are pretending to be for the country and
they are lying in every act and in every

out and get at them.
There are some newspapers publish

of which deserve conviction and exc

they will get it,"

JUSTICE EVANS RESIGNS;
TWO OTHERS APPOINTED
Judge George Goes to Supreme
Bench Judge HarWeIl to
Appeals

saIJustice Beverly D. Evans, Of the
state supreme court, whose appoint
ment as judge of the United States dis
trict court of the southern district of
Georgia was confirmed Wednesday by
the United States senate, has rendered
his resignation to the governor, effec-
tive September /.
This announcement was made Thurs
day by Governor Dorsey and at the
same time it was announced that Judge
Walter F. George, of the state court
of appeals, who will succeed Justice
Evans, would not take his new seat
until October 1, owing to the number
of important cases which would have
to be reviewed by the appellate court
during the month of September.
Judge Georges place on the court of
appeals will be taken by Judge Frank
Harwell, of LAGRANGE.
These decisions were reached at a
conference of all persons concerned and
it was agreed that the best interests
of the state and the southern federal
district circuit could be served in this
manner.
Justice Evans would probably have
made his resignation effective sooner
had 1t not been for an accumulation of
business in the supreme court which
he feels should be disposed Of How
ever, he feels it imperative that he
should leave by this time in order to
take up the large volume of work in
the federal court.
Immediately upon qualifying for the
federal bench Justice Evans will re-
move his residence to Savannah. His
family will join him later in the win
ter.
Justice Evans returned from Wash
lngton Wednesday evening.
Judge Harwell, who will succeed
Judge George on the appellate court.
is at present judge of the city court
of Lagrange. in which Office he will
be succeeded by z. T. Moon. of La
Grange.
