THE WOMEN ARE
CALLED ON TO HELP
NAME OF EVERY FAMILY IN
AMERICA TO BE PLACED ON
FILE IN WASHINGTON.

Every housewife in Georgia, rep
resenting all the families of the state,
will register herself during the week
of October % for food conservation.
The names and addresses of every
family in America are to be placed
on file in Washington. The register
ed will be given a badge showing
that they have joined the food con-
servation campaign. The housewife
will receive a kitchen card, telling
her how to prepare economical meals.
Weekly bulletins and pamphlets will
be sent to her as long as the war
lasts.
In other words, all food consump-
ton in America is to be systematized,
that America may win the war; the
housewives of America are to be
modified into a volunteer home army
to fight for America on this side of
the water while the men fight on the
other side.
This was the plan explained at a
meeting in Atlanta at which the food
conservation campaign in Georgia
was formally launched.
VIII Organize the State.
This meeting was attended by all
but two of the recent appointed ex-
ecutive committee-one from each
congressional district. Each district
member will appoint a county chair
man for every county in his district.
Crawford Wheatley, of Americas, is
member for the Third district and
j. W. Callahan, of cambridge, for
the Second district.
Each county chairman will appoint
a captain for every militia district
and city ward in his county, and each
captain will organize corps of work
ers. On Monday, October %, these,
workers will launch a canvass to Sc
cure the signatures of housewives to
the food pledge card, which is simply
promise to conserve the nations
food supply as a patriotic service.
Convention in Macon.
A convention of all the county
chairmen, in conjunction with the
state executive committee, will be
held in Macon on Friday, October II,
at IL o'clock.
At the convention speakers of ma
tional prominence, together, with
members of the executive committee,
will describe the food situation in the
United States and the allied nations,
and will present the details of the
plan of campaign.

II see that Hon. William ]. Harris

II intend to support him, not only
because of his capacity for filling the
Office most acceptably to the people,

TOM PLUMMER CROSSES
THE GREAT DIVIDE.

Thomas Plummer, age 60 years,
and one of the best known men
of this section, died at his home
east of town, at 3 o'clock Sun
day morning, after an illness of
many months. He was stricken
with paralysis more than year
ago and this trouble rendered it
extremely difficult for him TO
swallow, at the same time incapac-
itating him physically. A short
time ago he was taken with cold
which ran into pneumonia.
Mr.. Plummer was born near
Fulton on Nov. 10, 1854, and had
resided in this immediate vicini-
ty for the paSt 81 years. He
will be remembered as having
made the race for sheriff of Full
ton county In the campaign of
1913, and has many friends
throughout the county. During
his active career Mr.. Plummer
followed the vocation of farming.
He Is survived by his wife and
the following children = Sallie
Mai, Irene Hunkizer, Annie Bell,
Mary and Tom Plummer, Jr.
Funeral services were held at
the family residence at 10 80 o.
clock Monday morning, after
which the body was laid to rest
IN the city cemetery.
In the death of Tom Plummer,
Fulton county loses a splendid
citizen; his family a good hus-
band and father. He was one
of the most generous kind heart
ed men of our acquaintance
honest and just in all of his deal
lngs with his fellow man.
The bereaved ones have the
of their many friends.
