INCREASE IN OPERATING
EXPENSES OF RAILROADS

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. Sit is said,
although the revenues of the rail-
roads of the United States in 1916
were the highest on record, showing
the great prosperity which is general
throughout the country and the very
heavy movement of traffic incident to
the war and other conditions, the
net operating income of the roads for
the month Of November showed loss
as compared to the net operating In
come for the same month of 1915, ac-
cording to figures filed with the rail-
road commission of Georgia.
This means. according to the rail-
roads, that the increase in operating
expenses and taxes, which has been
going on for year, caught up with
the increases in gross earnings In
November.
The total net operating income OF
the roads in November, 1916, was
SOL, 717OOO, or SAL a mile, as com
pared to $1OS,O66OOO, or s449 a mile
in November, 1915.

my TIRED feet
ACHED FOR ''7Iz'
Let Your Sore, Swollen, Aching Feet
Spread Out in Bath of "Tiz."

Just take your shoes off and then
put those weary, shoe-crinkled, ach-
ing, burning, corn-pestered, bunion-
tortured feet of yours in a "Tiz"
bath. Your toes will wriggle with
joy; thyll look up at you and almost
talk and then they'll take another
dive in that "Tiz" bath.
When your feet feel like Jumps OF
lead-all tired out-just try "Tiz. u
It's grand-it's glorious. Your feet
will dance with joy; also you will
find all pain gone from corns, callous-
es and bunions.
There's nothing like "Tiz" It's the
only remedy that draws out all the
poisonous exudations which puff up
your feet and cause foot torture.
Get 25-cent box of "Tiz" at any
druk or department store-don't
wait. All! how glad your feet get;
how comfortable your shoes feel. You
can wear shoes a size smaller if you
desire. advt

ATLANTA TAILOR IS
GRIEVING FOR HIS BOY

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. Sc. Derher,
Roumanian tailor in Atlanta, has
cried one of his eyes out because his
tifteeen-year-old boy, Willie, has run
away, and still cries so much of the
time that he is in danger, the doctors
say. of losing the sight of the other
eye, if his boy doesn't come back to
him.
AS for the poor little mother, whose
10y was her chief Joy in life, she sits
by her husband, who is now unable to
work. and grieves her heart away.
The boy is somewhere in Georgia, or
all adjoining state, and If he has any
heart at all in his own breast, he will
get on the train and come home when
he reads this.
He is a good-looking youngster,
with dark brown hair and gray-green
eyes, and was wearing a green check
suit when he left home two or three
months ago.
If you know anything about this boy,
tell him to come on home, or he will
have the death of one, or maybe both,
of his parents on his conscience.
If he is sick or disabled anywhere,
let him write the Atlanta branch of
the Salvation Army, and they will
send after him.

knife ON CORNS
CAUSES LOCKJAW
Tells How to Loosen a Tender Corn
SO 1t Lifts Out Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
ut least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati author
ity to use a drug called freezone,
which the moment few drops are
applied to any corn, the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn,
re OF and all, lifts out with the fingers.
1t is sticky substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said
tn simply shrivel the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. 1t is claim
co that a quarter of an ounce will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or
callus.
You are further warned that cutting
AT a corn is a suicidal habit.

club and one of the most famous men
in baseball, was held a prisoner in

If there was ever a fellow in Atlanta

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. s.
Food, feed. and fertility are the foun-
dation Of safe farming, according to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture A circular sent to farmers,
bankers, and business men in cotton
territory by the Chief of the Office OF
Extension Work in the South says:
Let us feed the people, feed the live
stock, and feed the soil. When We
have done these three things. then
raise such acreage in money crops
as we have the labor to tend"
The circular points out that hte rue
value of cotton to the farmer Is to q
great extent the amount of food and
feed that it will purchase. The price
Of cotton has risen, it is true, but
so has the retail price Of all other
farm products. by growing all cot
ton." says the author, land exchang-
ing It for living you are simply swap
ming a high-priced product produced
hy YOUR labor for a high-priced pro-
Snct produced by the labor OF the
other fellow. When you follow safe
farming, however, you produce your
own food and feed at cost and sell
vour cotton for the other fellows dol
lars" -.s b
Safe farming is defined in the cir
cpIar as including these items:
IN A home garden for every fam
itv on the farm, from oRe-tenth to
oDe-fourth acre, well located. well
titled and tended as. carefully as any
o,ber crop on the farm, planted in
rotation to time the vegetable crops
40 as TO have a continual supply for
the family table as many days In the
wear as possible. To this should De
added one-fourth of an acre OF pota-
ices eithe irish or sweet, or BOTH to
No used as food for the family.
u, Enough corn on each, farm to
las, the family and the live stock Tor
Sro wear. with a little excess for
safety. ..
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-02-08
Food, Feed and Fertility Are
Basis For Safe Farming Here

(3) Sufficient oats and other small
grain to supplement the corn as food
for one year with certainty. These
small grains conserve the soil in
winter and provide summer grazing
for live stock.
a. Hay and forage crops to sup
ply the live stock on the farm for one
year, with a little excess for asfety
The legumes, which add fertility to
the soil and produce the best hay,
should not be forgotten.
(5) The necessary meat, eggs, and
milk for the family. The meat should
be produced by increased attention to
poultry and hogs because of the rap
idity with which these can be pro-
duced. Every family should have at
least two cows, so that one can be
in milk all the time. a SUFFICIENT
number of brood sows should be kept
to produce the pork for the family,
with some excess for sale. The aver
age number of poultry per farm
should be gradually increased to at
least SO. There should be eggs and
poultry for the home table. with a
sufficient excess for sale. The live
stock on the farm should be gradual
ly increased so as to consume the
otherwise wasted products and make
productive the unproductive and I'M
tillable lands.
(6) Cotton for. the main money
crop after the living has been amply
provided for.
CD The sale of the surplus pro-
ducts of the garden. the orchard, the
poultry, the live stock, and the feed
crops to cover the necessary ex-
penses of the farm, leaving the cotton
as the real cash crop.
The present prices Of cotton, says
the circular, should not be permitted
to tempt any farmer to depart from
this program. 1t is the only safe plan
70 follow, no matter what the price of
cotton may be. x.s

ATLANTA SYMPATHIZES WITH
THE POOR ESKIMOS NOW

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. S.-After
cracking two-thirds of the ruby lips
and automobile radiators of Atlanta,
old Jack Frost is moving on.
But he certainly played the cat-and-
banjo tune with Atlanta people and
Atlanta things before he left.
When qou went to sleep at night
your feet were so cold that you
dreamed a tiger was biting them,
and when you awoke in the morning
you found the waper pipes of your
home and the plate-glass windows of
your place of business, har been
smashed since the sun went down.
A campaign to help the poor Eski-
mos would be popular here. .'t .

around between jumps to keep warm.
Last Friday noon Laurie Dailam
surprised us all by running in and
making us visit. His response to
Mr.. Nance's request for speech was
brief but to the point
Last week the Domestic Science
class visited the meat market to study
the different cuts OF meat.
Last Friday the high school enjoy
ed literary program. SeveIa. read
ings, dialogue and some music con-
stituted the nifty little entertainment.
Every morning we sing America"
and give the flag salute. Who says the
II. S. isn't patriotic?
We understand that so many Of the
Okanogan high school boys have en-
listed that no representatives from
that town will be sent to the track
meet. But never mind, Okanogan, you
may not be the only one for long.
Several members of the junior sen
ior English class are beginning to
wish that Burke had not taken quite
so much of the Houses time, and the
speech had been just little bit shor-
ter.
The seniors have made their selec-
ton of pins and graduating invita-
tons. 1t makes us relize that ere long
they will be leaving US.
