REPRESENTATIVE cULPEPPER
TO SUPPORT BONE DRY LAW

Atlanta. Ga. Feb. l3.-Whether in
an extra session, il one should be call
cd by Governor Harris, or in the reg
ular session to be held this summer,
Representative N. f. Culpepper OF
Meriwether county. a leader of the
prohibition forces in the l9l5-l6
house and candidate for speaker of
the 1918 house. will support the
enactment of bone dry" liquor laws.
Representative Culpepper was in
the city yesterday and announced UNI
equivocally his support of Legislation
which will prohibit the shipment OF
any quantity of liquor into the state.
declaring that he would have support
ed such bill in 1915, when the pres
ent laws were passed, if there had not
been grave doubt at that time of the
power of state to stop liquor ship
ments entirely.
Since then, however, the United
State Supreme Court has held that
the Webb Kenyon law gives a state
authority to stop liquor shipments, as
well as to regulate them, and legisla-
ton directed to this end will undoubt-
eddy be introduced in the Legislature
at its next session.
Should the governor call an extra
session for actios on bone dry" bills,
as he is now being urged to do, Rep
rcseqtatiyeTCulpcppe will again take
a leading part in support of the bills;
while if no extra session is called. and
the matter goes over until the next
regular session he will still be one OF
the leaders of the prohibition forces
as he has been reelected.
Regardless OF the governors decis.
ion in. the matter, the prohibition is.

WHY NOT ORGANIZE A FARM
LOAN ASSOCIATION?

While the new rural credits law may
not be entirely perfect as means of
modifying the credit of the farmers
OF the country, we firmly believe that
it is going to prove of tremendous val
ue to us. But if we are to make it
serve our needs, neignborhood or To-
cal farm loan associations must be or
ganized by ten or more farmers, and
the aggregate of the loans sought
must be at least $4,000. Loans will
run anywhere from FIVE to forty years,
at the option of the borrower, and in
terest rates by law cannot be higher
than per cent. Each borrower is Ii
able for his fellow borrower to the
extent of not more than 10 per cent
of his own loan, and where the af-
fairs OF the association are handled
in business-like way, we believe
there is hardly one chance in thou
sand for any member to sustain loss
through the inability Of fellowbor-
rover to pay.
In word, the means of attaining
cheaper money are now available,
and whether we shall use them rests
with us. Has your community organ
lied loan association? If not, why
not? If because of lack of some one
to take the initiative. why not do it

HOGS AND SCIENTISTS AGREE

these feeds in the proportion of
Corn. 2O.6o pounds.

Hogs weighing III pounds at the
beginning and 2289 pounds each at

obtained elsewhere from the use of

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS ASK.
ED TO AID

Ministers are urged to preach on
the importance OF school attendance
as patriotic duty this year, and Sun
day School superintendent and lead
ers OF young peoples societies In the
various churches are asked to make
school attendance a special topic, In
letter addressed by the Commission
err of Education to churches and relig-
ious papers throughout the United
States. In urging the churches to
help In the campaign for greater
school attendance, DR.. Claxton says:
ut is Of the greatest importance
that the schools Of the United States
of all kinds and grades-public, pri-
yate, and parochial-be maintained
during the war without any lowering
Of their standards or falling off in
their attendance.
This Is necessary both for the pro-
lection Of our boys and girls against
many unusual temptations to delin-
quencies of various kinds, and that
they may have full opportunity for
preparation for the work of life and
for the duties and responsibilities of
citizenship; all Of which will require
higher degree Of preparation because
of the war.
For many reasons there Will be
need in this country for higher stan
dards in average of ability, knowl-
edge, and virtue, when the boys and
girls now in our schools have reach
ed manhood and womanhood than we
Or any other people have yet attain
I'd to.

hould be- performed gladly, both for

BUTTER FAT

Does not come under the ban OF
the new city ordinance governing the

Of few farmers as to selling butter
fat locally, and a few have shipped II
away because they thought they were
obliged to ray license il they sold
same on their home market. Such is
not the case. In fact shipping out of
The state comes under the Interstate
commerce act and would therefore
become much more complicated and
severe than any local ordinance or
law, if there were such law governing
the sale of butter fat when made into
butter.
1t is understood that some of the
foreign buyers of cream are using
he above misinterpretation of the
jity ordinance as an &nducement to
farmers to ship their cream to an out
Of town market or sell it where it will
be shipped away. This should not be
the case as Maysville and Maysville
business men welcome all patronage
and give dollar for dollar for value re-
ceived.
The purpose of the milk and cream
ordinance is merely to insure to the
consumer, a pure and clean milk sup.
ply and to protect the baby from 9

ASKS CLUB WOMEN TO AID IN
SCHOOL.TEENDANCE
CAMPAIGN

A special appeal to club women
in the United States has been issued
by the United States Commissioner of
Education, DR.. p. p. Claxton, urging
that the influence Of the organizations
they represent be given to the main
tenance Of the schools of the Nation
in their full efficiency during the pres
ent crisis. DR.. CLAYTON says:
Everywhere there seems to be fear
lest our schools Of all kinds and
grades, and especially the public
schools, will suffer this year because
Of conditions growing out Of our en-
trance into the war. On the other
hand, both for the present defence
and for the future welfare of our
country, as well as for the individual
benefit of the children, it is of the
greatest efficiency, both as to STAN
dards of work and attendance Of
children.
while the war continues there will
be many unusual temptations to many
kinds Of juvenile delinquencies.
Prompt and regular attendance at
school and proper employment during
hours will be the chill
drens surest protection against such
temptations.
when the boys and girls now Of
school age have reached manhood and
womanhood there will be need for
higher standard Of intelligences, skill,
and wisdom for the work of life and
for the duties and responsibilities of
citizenship than we have ever yet at
tained. Our schools must now be SO
sustained and improved as to enable
them better to prepare our boys and
girls for life and work in the new age
which will follow the close of the war
and the coming Of peace. No boys
and girls must now be neglected or
exploited for selfish ends.
"In all this probably no others can
he quite so helpful as the club women
~ the country, most of whom are also
mothers of children. For this reason
I am taking the liberty of suggesting
to them that in all women's clubs this
should be made subject Of discus
sion at their first meetings this fall
and from time to time throughout the
year.
