Cold Storage Plant
OF Ice Company Is
A Sprightly Youngster

Fitzgerald's cold storage plant is
about the lustiest youngster in these
parts. Hardly a month old, its repu-
tation is already spreading over sew
eral counties, and it's a good reputa-
ton at that. The square dealing po-
icy of Stubs Dorminy, the manager
is bringing 'grist to his MILL" i. e
hogs to the storage pant.
Tuesday, the regular day on which
this firm advertises to purchase hogs
teams rolled i'll from Berrien, Irwin
and Coffee counties, loaded down with
fine porkers. The attractive price OF
lOc for cornfed hogs, is making the
farmers smile hereabouts, and will
lead to greater efforts in fostering
the "live-at-home" policy, that all
farmers are beginning to learn these
boil weevil days.
Among the farmers bringing in
hogs Tuesday were: Oscar Purvis, B.
Slater, J. R. Paulk, Geo. Young, R, L.
Barheld, c. H. Whitley. liver Roberts,
N. L. Day and others.
The ice plant is popular place
Tuesdays and Fridays, the days when
the company purchases hogs. Pri-
vate parties continue to bring in hogs
for storage on their own account, for
which business the plant is open each

7ATLANTA IS WIDE OPEN"

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 30-Atlanta is be-
coming one of the most wide-open
Sunday towns in the South, despite
recent efforts of radical ministers to
close up movie theaters, soda foun-
tains, and other places of amusement
or recreation.
On the Sunday just passed, practi-
cally every theater on Peachtree and
Whitehall street was wide open, and
at night the downtown section was a
blaze of light with as large crowds of
amusement seekers on the streets as
on average week nights.
All soda fountains drug stores, res
taurnts and cigar stores were, of
course, also open and except for the
fact that you couldn't buy an over
coat or piece of hardware, which no
body wants to buy any way on Sun
day night, Atlanta on Sunday looked
about like Atlanta on any other day.
The motion picture theaters are not
allowed to sell tickets for the Sun
day performances, of course, but they
take up a collection at the door
which amounts to the same thing as
paying to see the show and part OF
the proceeds are devoted to charity.

THE FARMS SIDE LINE

Mr. Burt Meaker lives on and op-
crates a small farm, about two miles
northeast of Lulaville in section of
the county where the land is rather
sandy and not generally regarded as
up to the high standard of fertility of
most Ben Hill county fand. Regard
less of this little handicap Mr.. Meak-
er makes farming pay and no small
part of his success is attributable to
the way he handles his farms "side
lines" Mr.. Meaker plants corn, cot
ton, oats, cane, peanuts, ETC., and has
just about average success with them,
but where he shines is in the results
he gets from the "side lines" butter,
eggs, poultry, vegetables, fruits, etc.
For instance, last Saturday Mr..
Meaker came in to 90 his shopping
and to market the "side lines" and
here is the result:
IS doz eggs q 35c ......$ SIS
10 hens @Iksc 600
\ l0l lbs. butter q 35c .:.. 3.67
IS punches onions a Sc. .... rs
Total $3.50
Last Saturday was no record day
with Mr.. Meaker as he does just about
the same each week, generally bring
sionally selling off his hens as they
get past the profitable age for laying.
This is the record made by a mod
est farmer on a small farm and with
out thought of its ever being known
by anyone besides his own family and
the same proportional results can
easily be made by any farmer of av-
erage intelligence and energy.

Sans Presents Governor
With Fine Lion Skin

Governor Boyle is the recipient OF
a mountain lion skin. presented to
him by E. r. Sans, chief of the bio
logical survey that is operating in
Nevada in the determination of noxi-
Gus animals. The lion from which
the skin was taken was killed near
Belmont. Nye County, January u,
1917, by members of the survey. The
skin. according to Government regu-
lations, was sent to Washington and
at public auction was purch ased by
Mr.. Sans, who had it forwarded to
st. Louis to be tanned and thence to
Carson.
1t is a beautiful skin. a tawny
brown in color, and almost as soft as
seal. Evidently the animal from
which it was taken measured about
six feet from tip to tip, in life, and
would have proved an unpleasant
obstruction to have met on the trail.

LABOR SAVING MACHINES

Lyon County Times: Owing TO
the scarcity of farm labor. the farm
ers of Mason Valley are fast turning
toward labor saving machinery. The
past week has seen several sales made
by our local merchants of side deliv-
cry rakes and hay leaders. The side
delivery rake follows up the mower
in the field and gently rolls the hay
over to the side of the rake in a win
row with the leaves on the inside and
stems out. giving a free circulation
of air through the hay which means
a better cure for the crop. The loader
is attached to the rear of a hay wagon.
and as soon as the hay is ready
for the stack, the wagon with
the loader attachment is driven
astradle of the winrow and by means
of the elevator on the loader, the
hay is picked up and placed on the
wagon. AS soon as n wagon is
loaded, the attachment is hitched to
the next wagon and it is filled and
delivered to the stack. 1t is esti-
mated that these machines will save
the labor of three men in the field
and do the work much more rapidly.
The slogan of to-day is efficiency
in every line of endeavor, and especi-
ally benefitting to all its efficiency on
the farm.

Samuel Gompers and t~hirty-nine
other leaders of industrial organiza-

to go before Congress or to summon

make it appear to have been exceed
ingly stern, we must remember that
it was the sternness of aserious pub

have m~arshalled nothing but the
crude, important facts; and we doubt
that he told Messrs. Wilson and
Hoover anything they did not already
know. But that Detroit bread illus

hang balanced and horizontal. Ordi-
nary binder Irvine Is strong enough
to support from Is to 20 ears.
Wire racks are cheaper in the long
run and more convenient A good
form is made from welded or woven
wire fencing, the upright wires being
used as the hangers, and the lateral
wires cut off and bent upward being
used as supports for the individual
ears. The lateral wires, about three
inches long on either side of the main
upright, are thrust into the butt end
of the cobb. These racks will last
many years and are easily stored
when not in use. In use, with the
the appearance Of giant fern fronds.
The central wire is the midrib Of the
leaf, and the ears of corn stand out
on each side like the fern leaflets, or
like leaflets on locust tree.
Wooden Racks Convenient.
Wooden seed racks, in which the
ears are stored in rows on separate
shelves, are convenient dryers, and
have no drawbacks in a dry, breezy
place, although the air cannot circu-
late freely ON all sides and dampness
may be held where the row of kernels
rests on the wood.
Only during unusually damp wealth
err at seed-gathering time will a fire
be necessary to help the drying. Yet
II heat is applied in a poorly ventilat-
ed place, it will do more harm than
good. If used, the fire should be slow
and long-continued. 1t should be be-
