cash AND CARRY
CUTS FOOD COST
FOR WINNETKA

The women of Winnetka believe
they have found a plan to reduce ma
terially the high cost of living. 1t is
known as the "cash and carry PLAN"
and was evolved at a series of house.
wives conferences held under the aug
pices of the Winnetka Womens club.
The chairman of these conferences
was Mrs. Allyn Folff, who had L. F.
HollIster, president of the New Trier
Commercial association. address the
women. The plan was put into oper-
alton as an experiment by Win
netka grocery. 1t provides for the
lowest cash price for foods, with a
charge of l cent on the dollar If
credit is given. Most of the women
carry home their purchases. II they
prefer to have them delivered &c
extra is charged. The advantage to
the grocer is that the plan reduces
the number of wagon drivers. The
grocery which has put the plan into
effect, is said to have done the largest

lin, trustee for the creditors of Don
p. Dickinson. IN return, MIR. Wilson
was given deeds to 1880 acres of land
formerly owned by Don p. DiclSin-
son. This is by far the largest sale
OF real estate ever made in Brown
county. Mr.. Wilson Is understood to
represent a syndicate. 1t is reported
that some Of the land is already sold
as follows: 200 acres 3 miles east and
" mile north OF Willis, to w. II. and
e. d. Crouch. for s23,OO0; 100 acres
miles east and 1 mile north of
Willis, to George Andrews for s14,-
500; 160 acres Q miles east and / mile
north of Willis to George Marak for
$l6,5OO. 1t is understood that Halvor
Peterson, Of near Baker. is interested
in the rest of the land with Mr.. Will
son. For the $50 acres which they
disposed OF, they received $4,000.
This leaves them with $4,000 invest
ed in the 400 acres west OF Baker, the
old Overfield property, and 100 acres
miles east of Willis, known as the
Knabb farm. The land held by Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Peterson is regarded
as the best OF thai owned by Don
Dickinson, the u east of Willis being
extra good. Don Dickinson had been
offered $23,000 for this u and $780,
900 for the Overfield farm. which he
bought for $4,000. 1t is thought the

FISH

The old Missouri is yielding up its
supply of fish to a hungry world.
Last Saturday afternoon fishermen
were plentiful. dragging the Icy wa
ters for the benumbed finny tribe.
Fish was the first meat of the gods.
Christ fed the multitudes with fish
and helped the fishermen to catch
them. Christ said also he would
make fishermen fish for mankind.
meaning that they should bring men
to God. Fish is allowed to be eaten
when all other meats are forbidden.
He that eats fish must drink water.
Wherever fish are found water will
be found also. A man who does not
love to fish will never enter into
glory, fully forgiven of all his sins.

On May the First and Second

am Assured of large delegations
from all sections of the state al

for as many members as possible to
be present. In addition to the mem
bers, | extend most cordial in
vitation to all farmers and business
men of the state, who are in SYM
patny with the Farmers Union, to
attend.
Just at present we have some Sc
rious questions before the people to
be solved. One of the most impor-
tant questions before us is that of
working out a Marketing System
for the farmers of Georgia. We
have been studying production and
scientific farming for many years.
This has met with great success
and l hope this good work will go
On-in fact, it must-but the time
has come when the farmer must
work out system that will give
him profits as we'll as products from
his farm.
Since we are confronted with the
boil weevil in Georgia and have mad
to substitute other crops for the cot
ton crop, therefore the question of
marketing has become more impor-
tant than ever before. 1t will be
necessary to have an adequate sys-
TEN in order to dispose of our pro-
duets at reasonable prices.
Arrangements are now being
made with some of the foremost ag-
ricultural authorities and experts
in preparation of the program of
speakers which will be announced
later.
We want the opinion of our mem
bers anG farmers on this and other
questions and you are hereby called
to meet on the above date at the
above place at 10 a. m.

ready been secured. Do not fail to
