SODA JERkER USES
FIST ON YOUNG OFFICER,

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. IA dapper
young officer of the United States Re
serve, wearing his new uniform and
swinging his swagger stick, strolled
up to the bar of prominent down
town soda fountain, ordered a round
of drinks for his friends, and then
commenced to discourse on the iron
discipline he proposed to administer
to the drafted men of the National
Army under his command at Camp
Gordon near Atlanta.
His ideas of military efficiency us
outlined to his friends was something
stern and hard, of the kind the Off
GERS in the German army lay such
store by. He gave his friends 10 I'M
derstand that he didn't propose 10
let any "2onscript" put anything over
on him. He was going to make them
toe the mark
At the height OF his speech the
soda jerker, cleancUt youth of stork
build, took oc his white apron and
white cap. emerged from behind the
counter, and supplied the young of
ticer with some information.
I'm a 'conscript' if you want to
call me that said the soda jerker,
but | don't report until day after to-
morrow, and | guess I'm not under
iron discipline yet"
With that the soda ierker is said
to have landed on the otlicers's jaw
and keeled him over, and when the
fnA gong put an end to the bout the
soda jerller was declared the victor
ny a considerable majority.

GOVERNMENT WILL ASK
NEWSPAPER Help AGAIN

Atlanta, Ga. Sept 4-That Uncle
Sam realizes the power of the press
in molding public sestiment through
out the nation is evidenced by the
plans for the campaign in coneotion
with the sale Of the second issue Of
Liberty Bonds.
These plans contemplate tie ut
most publicity through the newsp-
apers Of the country, both the dailies
and the weekiies. a. vel as the mag
azines and other periodicals, without
which it would be impossible to mar
ket an issue of bonds III the remark
ably short time required for the first
issue Of 100000 ,O00.
No finer demonstration of the pow
er OF the press has ever been witness
ed in this or any other country than
The successful consumation of the
governments war plans. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the newspapers
made possible the enactment of the
selective service law. Without their
continued support of the law, follow
ing its enactment. the machinery Of
operation might have broken down.

LOW PERCENTAGE OF
PHYSICAL DEFECT.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. Something
less than 10 per cent Of the selectmen
examined up to date al Camp Gordon
have been thrown back because Of
physical defects, whith shows that
the examining physicians of local
boards throughout Georgia, Florida
and Alabama were very careful in
approving the men certified for ser
vice in the National Army.
Likewise this small percentage
would seem to prove that the average
southern man between the ages of 81
and 81, whether he comes from an Of
fee in the city or from the pillow han
dies on the farm, is q good sound
specimen of manhood. fit to stand the
gruelling test of training for modern
war, and after the training fit for the
terrific strain of getting in the tren-
ches where none but man of per-
feotly sound constitution trained to
the pink Of condition, can hope to
stand the test.
When a man remained upon arrival
at the training camp is found to be
deficient in some particular, he is
sent before a special board of exam
ing officers who go over him minute
~ from head to foot, and if that board
decides that he is not I'D to the stand
ard he is given his release and fur
nished with transportation back
home.

POTATO GROWING
WILL Be PROF ITABLE
WILL INSURE AN EVEN nISTRi-
BUTTON OF CROP THROUGH
OUT YEAR-GoOD PRICES,

i Many heavy potato producing sec
TOMS of Georgia now are considering
seriously the erection of big common
nifty potato storage houses to con-
serve the enormous crop of this
year. To give the public some idea of
the importance and the size of the
question of conserving the sweet po-
tato crop this year, it is stated that
the production in Georgia this year
will be around 1O,74O,O00 bushels,
which is far in excess of the crop of
1916, when the yield was only 1900
O0G bushels
According to the best data on hand
now, the old style method Of storing
sweet potatoes, which was to "bank'
them. results in an annual loss of
about so per centum Of the crop.
Sometimes. experts say, the "bank"
saves about an equal number of
times it fails. Tests made with the
storage houses show that they have
high efficiency. probably above 90
per centm as neatly as can be de-
termined now.
Initial and capacity costs Of sweet
potato storage houses are low, ac.
cording to results obtained thus far.
The capacity cost at present is esti-
mated to be about IS cents per bush
81 al most, and that the increase in
the price of potatoes between the
time Of storing in the fall and the
crop end next spring will be double
this is considered very certain.
