BUSINESS AS USUAL"

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-The. "Busi-
ness as Asusal' slogan which spread
like wildfre over England in the latter
days of 1914, following the outbreak
of the European War, is being adopt
ed with enthusiasm in Atlanta and
gives promise of spreading through
out the South.
In England the slogan conveyed the
same idea which President Wilson
has urged upon America, which is
that the most patriotic duty of the
man who cannot serve in the army or
navy is to stick optimistically to his
job and bend every effort toward
maintaining commercial prosperity.
Business AS Usual" does not mean
that those who can do SO are to de-
vote all their time to their personal
affairs, however, but simply that ma
ton with business paralyzed cannot
successfully conduct war, and hence
t is the patriotic duty of every one
keep his money in circulation.

INVEST IN PEANUTS

Atlanta, Ga, May 2.-Get all the
peanuts you can buy, and get raw
ones, not parched. Either plant them
in your garden or on your farm, or
save them and sell to others who will
plant them For the peanut is poten-
TALLY gold mine.
Already they have advanced from
the usual price of three and four cents
pound to the high figure of ten
cents, and Atlanta produce dealers
predict that they will go still higher.
The interesting thing about the rise,
where Georgia farmers are concerned,
is that peanuts can be raised with
great success in this state, and are be-
ing raised on very large scale, es-
pecially in South Georgia. They are
easily cultivated, easily gathered and
easily stored. And they are a cash
money crop.

SEED SHORTAGE DISCOVERED
AT FARMERS UNION MEETING

Atlanta Ga. May 3.-Every farmer
in Georgia who has more corn or po-
tatoes, or peas, or velvet beans, or
syrup cane seed, or anything else in
the food crop line for planting pur-
poses, than he actually needs for his
own use, is urged as patriotic duty
to his country to apportion his sur
plus among brother farmers at fair
market prices, so that they can plant
food crops.
That there is very serious, not to
say alarming, shortage or seed for
planting in the state was developed
at the meeting of the Georgia Farm
ers' Union held yesterday in Atlanta,
and farmers throughout the state who
have more than they need were re-
quested to share with their fellow
farmers in the manner above stated.
