100000 MULES AND 100000 MULES
NEEDED FOR NATIONS ARMY

ATLANTA, Ga, July 9.-There is
going to be another military draft in
Georgia some time soon, but it will be
for mules, instead of men, and the pa
tient Southern jarhead is going to
leave the cotton fields and take his
place by thousands on the firing in
France, hauling artillery and ammuni-
ton wagons.
The animal problem is one of the
most important facing the military au-
thorities, for they have learned from
the experience of other fighting nations
that while automobile trucks and mo-
tors are invaluable for certain work,
there are other kinds of service which
only horses and mules can perform.
More than 100000 mules will be
needed in addition to 100000 horses to
accompany the first draft army to
France, and necessarily majority of
the mules will come from the South.

HOOVER SUGGESTS HANGING
ECONOMY CARDS IN KITCHENS

ATLANTA, Ca, July 9-Conserve the
food supply and help the nation help
the Allies win the wa-.
That is the appeal which goes out
today to every housewife in America,
accompanied by practical suggestions
formulated by Herbert c, Hoover, the
great food administrator selected by
President Wilson to conserve the ma
tens food supply.
He makes his suggestions in the form
OF a Home Card to be hung in every
American kitchen. Here it is:
Buy less and serve smaller portions.
Preach the gospel of THE Clean
Plate"
Don't eat fourth meal.
Don't limit the plain food of growing
children.
Watch out for the wastes in the com
raunity.
Full garbage pals in America mean
empty dinner pals in America and
Europe
If the more fortunate of our people
will avoid waste and eat no more than
they need, the high cost of living pro-
blem will be solved for those less for
tUnate.
Those are the simple, practical rules
which President Wilson, through Mr..
Hoover, asks the housekeepers OF
America to observe.
