MORE WHEAT is TO Be
PLANTED THIS SEASON
STATE COMMISSIONERS DEcLAR.
, Es VELVET BEANS ARE GOING
ON MARKET TOO LOW.

Atlanta, (SpeciaD -Wheat planting
time is near at hand, and all farmers
who have not already done so should
prepare their ground for sowing at
once, says the State Department of
Agriculture.
There is no more important thing
any Georgia farmer can do right now
than to- get ready to liant all the wheat
he can take care Of" states Commits
sioner J. ]. Brown. Georgia needs
wheat as never before, and at the
price fixed by the President there is
a good profit in it to every farmer
who will give it the attention it needs.
Good soil preparation is necessary to
the making of a crop, and this should
not be delayed another day"
The Department urges that bank
ers and merchants in every communi-
ty see to it that every farmer gets
seed wheat and plants it. The State
Bureau of Markets invites inquiries
for seed wheat as they are in touch
with considerable quantities of home
grown seed. The best time is i'm
mediately after the first killing frost
which gets rid of the Hessian fly, the
boil weevil" of wheat. Bulletins re-
lating to wheat planting and cultiva-
tion will be supplied by the Depart
ment on request.

SAVANNAH is MAKING
BIG WAR EXPLOSIVES

Savannah, Ca, Oct. 2.-Dynamite
glyecrin for use in making munitions
for the Allies is being manufactured
in large quantities in Savannah, al
though the government censorship
prevents the naming of the firm or its
actual location. Dynamite glycerin
of itself is not explosive but when
treated with nitric acid, OF combined
nitroglycerin, it becomes one of the
most powerful explosives known to
warfare. The plant is closely guard
ed. Cottonseed is used from which
nc dynamite glycerin is extracted.

Vote 4eot to iss for the Military
Training Of All Boys Of
Nineteen.


Rockford. nL-The Eighty-slxth d.
vision of the National army emphat.
icaIly advocates universal military
training for young men. BY the "dl-
vision" is meant not its officers but
its enlisted men-its privates, SER
geants, and corporals--men taken from
civil life in the last three months I'M
der the selective service act.
The first sergeants of s5 companies
and batteries have polled their men
on the question and have reported the
results.
The question asked was:
do you think all young men should
have at least six months military
training when they reach nineteen
years Of agei"
The return cards show these totals |:
Number of men favorable, 4,601.
Number Of men opposed, 1876.
One side Of the card was left blank
for further Information or remarks"
What was written there showed the
reasons for the vote. The emphasis
was about equally divided between the
benefits to the men receiving the train
ing and the protection of the nation.
The geographical source Of the unit
whether II came from the congested
areas of Chicago or the open hills of
Wisconsin-seemed to make no diff
ference.

AUTO AVID BUGGY
COLLIDE; DANV|LLE
MAN IS INJURED
Harry Champion Is Rendered
Unconscious; Wife Es-
capes Unhurt

Harry Champion Of near Danville
was badly bruised and rendered un-
conscious for several minutes Thurs
day morning when the buggy in which
he and Mrs. Champion were riding was
struck by an automobile driven by
q Mr. Gates about three miles east of
this city while they were on their way
to attend the county fair.
According to Mrs. Champion, who
escaped without injury, despite the
fact that the buggy was totally demol-
ished, the driver of the auto seemed
to lose control of the car as he at
tempted to pass them and crashed into
the side of the buggy, destroying it
and frightening their horse so that it
broke loose from the wreckage and
ran away.
Mr.. Gates at once went to the aid of
Mr.. and Mrs. Champion and after Mr..
Champion was revived he placed them
in his car and brought them to this
city where he purchased them a new
buggy to replace the one broken up
in the collision.

DEPUTY SHERIFF FELL
BY WAYS|DE " HEN
AWAY FROM HOME
Virginian Couldn't Stand The
Ohio Liquor; Landed In
County Jail

"IIe stopped off in Columbus too
long and got little too much of Ohio
liquor" were the words of Mayor
Mitchell Thursday when speaking of
an arrest made by Chief Parker and
Patrolman McElroy Wednesday even
ing at Z o'clock at the Pennsylvania
railroad shops.
The man in the case claimed to be a
deputy sheriff from Virginia who was
on his way to Akron fol IA man wanted
in criminal proceedings IN Virginia. He
had stopped somewhere along the road
to Akron and had evidently imbibed a
bit too freely as his expulsion from
the train was necessitated at this
city. Chief Parker and Patrolman Nc
Elroy took the man to Jail and there
took q revolver away from him "a mile
and a half long" as the mayor said.
Thursday morning without any cere-
mony whatever the deputy was re-
leased and he went on his way after
his man no worse for his little mishap
here, except possibly severe head" "
