HOG PRODUCTION URGED.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. Sit is going
to be impossible to overproduce hog
meat for the next five or ten years
to come. This is the firm conviction
of the Georgia Department of Agri-
culture, and its advice is that farmers
everywhere act upon it and grow
more hogs.
The world is reduced right now to
half rations on animal fats and is
freely using vegetable substitutes.
pending upon US for their supply.
We must grow our own supply of ami
NAL fats and, at the same time, fill
the wants of the allies.
"This indicates conclusively," said
Commissioner j. j. Brown" "that
it is going to be practically impossi-
BILE to have an overproduction CT
meat products and animal fats for
many years to come, even though
terms of peace should be made at
once.
"For this reason the department
is putting forth extraordinary efforts,
to suppress hog cholera and in every
other way to encourage the greater
production of hogs.
"The splendid work of the Boys
Pig Clubs of Georgia, as demonstrat-
ted in their exhibits at the Southeas-
tern Fair, and under the capable SUI
pervision of James E. Downing of
the State College of Agriculture, is
convincing beyond the shadow of a
doubt that Georgia should be second
to no state in hog production.
"At the present prices and at the
good prices which are sure to pre-
vail for several years to come we
most heartily recommend hog raising
to the farmers of Georgia as money
making proposition"

LOST MOUNTAIN

On last Wednesday afternoon about
$3.50 we noticed two bright sun
dogs on either side of the sun, di-
rectly overhead in the sky was a
bow with colors resembling rain
bow. 1t appeared to be lying down
with the bow part turned toward
the sun. There was scarcely any
clouds at all. No rain was visible. 1t
must have been mirage. Did you
notice this phenomena?

cause to leave off the names of the

name here.--Ed.)
We believe the grand jury made
a wise choice in the selection of Mr..
Jasper L. CAN'T as Commissioner to

as one of Cobb County's best citizens

money is spent wisely and put it

DR.. d. E. Sawyer has done valuable
services for our farmers and they
are satisfied with his work. His
combination work demonstrates and

BILE.
Reports from over the county say
his veterinary work alone has far
more than paid his salary. And he
will be in better position next year
to do still better demonstration work.
1t is business proposition and our
commissioners should lose no time
in employing him another year at
an advanced salary.

We believe conservation should be
our theme at this time. We feel
sure there never been time when
there was time when we had more
than we have now, and our foremost
idea should be to keep plenty for
home consumption.

LIFE is SAD.

"When the sheriff of Thomas coun-
ty and his assistants opened two
hundred bottles of whiskey that had
been captured in various raids, and
poured the aromatic stuff into a gut
ter while an interested crowd looked
on, there are said to have been many
more tears than there were bottles
of booze wasted on the dust-covered
environs of the scene.
Human nature is strange indeed.
A thirsty individual who hasn't had
drink in month, and doesn't know
where to get one, will be drawn, as a
criminal is drawn to the scene of his
crime, to point where liquor is to
be poured into gutter or upon the
thirsty earth. He will stand by with
haggard face, dry lips and parched
throat, drawing into his lungs the
fragrance of the gurgling stream that
trickles on the ground, and wait till
the last drop has been disposed of.
Then he will go off into a secluded
place to NOPE and maybe weep He
will be twice as thirsty as he was be-
fore and twice as unhappy But he'll
attend the next official pouring out.
