HOW WOMEN CAN BEST
PERFORM PATRIOTIC SERVICE.


Patriotism is the watchword OF the
hour for women everywhere in the ma
| ton, not to bear arms, but to help
conserve the home. The greatest SER
vice possible just now is to conserve
] food production. And the women Or
ganizing for patriotic service are be-
ing called upon to aid in the nations
great effort to increase food products.
! The appeal is made to every patriotic
| woman in the country not to fail her
nation in the food crisis. To organize
home gardening clubs and to get every
| body into the work, boys, girls, bank
ers, merchants, ministers and farm
ers. In doing this the women give 10
their respective communities, the state
and the country, a service money
could not buy. Our food situation is
most serious and daily growing worse.
| IT. bebooves men and women CT every
community to take quick and decided
action at once and see that every avail
able space in towns and communities
are planted in food stuffs.> We must
feed ourselves.
The following statement from Wash
ington shows how the leading women
of the nation are showing their pa
triotism along these lines:
"Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Marshall and the
women of the cabinet, realizing some
Of the problems that this country Will
have to face as a result of our being
in a state of war, have resolved to re-
duce their living to simple form and
to deny themselves all unnecessary
avnenditures while the war continues.
'rhey have decided to omit the usual
formal entertaining and calling and to
eliminate largely their social activl-
lies. so that they will be enabled to
give more time and none yto costruc-
live preparedness and relief work.
"They pledge themselves to buy in
expensive clothing ana SlllIple loo"'
and to watch and prevent all kinds OF
waste They believe that the time and
energy of the country should be CIV
en- to the conservation of all its resour-,
ces and that cultivation of all available
land for the production of food, that
it may be able out of it's abundance to
help those who are in such desperate
need.
"They make an appeal to all the
women of America to do everything
in their power along these lines, not
only as individuals, but by organizing
to prevent actual suffering later on
and to hasten the end of the struggle
for real democracy

WEEWL At WORK
EARLY IN S0USR GA.
Farmers Are Alarmed-Some Cotton
Already Powed Up To Make Room
For Other Crops.

Thomasville, April 17-Farmers-
through this section of the state are
alarmed over the unusual activities of
| the boil weevil, which is appearing
| in cotton in increasing numbers.
They had not expected the weevil to
| appear for some time yet. AS rule
| they do not appear until the small ter
minal bud at the top has formed.
Examination of fields in LOwndes
county yesterday found the weevil at
work on the small leaves Of cotton
plants about two inches high. Leaves
harboring weevils were found to be
| slightly turned and curled with the
weevil on the underside. One small
| field on three acres had on it over one
| hundred weevils.
The State Department of Entomolo-
gy at it's experiment station just out OF
| Valdosta, has a large wire cage IN
which ten thousand weevils were plac-
| ed last fall before frost. In this cage
| was placed natural hlbernatlng relu-
gees. These weevil have just begun
to come out CT winter quarters at the
rate of one or two day, which would
indicate clearly that the weevil found
in the fields were much in advance, OF
a normal time.
In the vicinity Of Barwick, Brooks
county, weevil have become so active
that several farmers have started to
pillow up fields of cotton two inches
high it is their intention to- replant
with corn and peanuts. The early activ
tiles of the weevil is causing great
concern to all those who have planted
cotton and especially farmers who
have not used the early maturing va
rieties.

Charming indeed was the gathering
of a number of Cordele's future bellies
and beauX, wee tots, at the home of
Mrs. c. C. Ship Saturday afternoon
to do honor to the young lady Of house,
Miss Mary Claire, on the occasion of
her fourth birthday. Gracious and
smiling, the little hostess received her
gueste as they showered upon her
many pretty birthday gifts.
A profusion of wild spring flowers
adorned the home and the children
fingered indoors to- see each interest
ing birthday package opened and to
be served with punch, then there was
an exodus TO the lawn where merri-
ment held sway for some time. All
kinds of games which delight the
hearts of such wee folk were INDUCED
in. Then came the refreshment hour
in which ice cream cone, so pleasing
to childish tastes, occupied an impor-
tant place.
When the evening was over, each
tiny guest was presented with a pref
ty bag of candy, as a souvenir, and
as they babe the little hostes goodbye,
down deep in their hearts was the
wish that there might come to her
many, many happy returns of this aus
picious day.
