MUCH TO ENTERTAIN
AT The STATE FAIR
EXPOSITION AT MACON THIS
YEAR WILL BE ONE OF THE
BEST EVER HELD.

There will be lots of innocent
amusement for all visitors at the
1917 Georgia State Fair, as Park
er's Greatest Shows, which have been
engaged to furnish the midway shows
and rides, have nothing but clean
and wholesome shows-not an i'm
moral show or suggestive one in the
entire list of rs shows and rides.
There will be nightly displays of
fireworks; nine of the best free acts
that money can buy; six days of har-
ness races of the fastest horses in
the United States; three of the best
bands in the country have been en-
gagged to furnish the music for the
great crowds who will be at the fair.
Special rates have been granted by
all the railroads and all those who
come to the fair in automobiles will
find a beautiful shady grove under
which to park their cars, and a
grassy spot upon which to rest and
eat their lunches; or, they will find
many restaurants at which they may
obtain food, if they do not wish to
bring their lunches with them.
The exhibits of the pig, calf, corn
and canning clubs will positively ex-
eel any that have ever been made at
any fair, and the Georgia State Fair
has been selected as the permanent
home of the pig clubs of Georgia
and the Georgia Girls Canning Clubs.
The poultry exhibits will be the larg-
est and best ever held in the South.
There are so many good things to
say about the 1917 Georgia State
Fair, and what you may see in the
buildings and around the grounds,
that we are going to close and tell
you the balance next week.
You are specially invited to visit
the 1917 Georgia State Fair at Ma
con, October 81 to November 8, and
bring the entire family and all the
neighbors. There is plenty of room
and amusement for you, each and
all, so do not miss it.

Bessie, the oldest mule in the EN-

The mule is known to every one

May CALL THE ENTIRE
LIST OF CONSCRIPTS
DEPARTMENT FAVORS EXAMI
NATION OF ALL DRAFT ELIGI-
BLES. UP TO GOVERNORS.

The advice of governors of the
various states is being sought by
Provost Marshal General Crowder
relative to the advisability of holding
examinations for all possible future
draft calls at the present time while
local and district boards are in the
swing of the work. If a majority of
the governors approve the plan, it is
probable that exemption boards will
be advised to call the entire roll of
100000 or more men who have not
been summoned for examination. The
whole proposition, however, will be
submitted to the president for final
decision.
The suggestion made by General
Crowder has for it's object the quiet
ing of a feeling that has developed
in the minds of men whose order
numbers will appear early in the next
draft or the following call. Many of
them would rather have their exam
nation now so they will know what
arrangements to make for the COM
ing year.

The Washington government has Civ
en- Admiral Sims added powers to en-
able him to meet any situation that
may arise.
Much of his time has been spent in
London and Paris, and today's advices
are the first to indicate that he has
been at sea with his ships.
The statement that Admiral Sims
had hoisted his flag as senior allied
naval officer in Irish waters led to much
speculation as to what American war
ship he might be using as flagship as
presumably he would hoist his flag only
aboard an American vessel.
Tremendous responsibilities have
been placed on Admiral Sims Shout
derS. The tale of torpedoed ships in
Irish waters is an often repeated one.
1t has been said that, even without
the American vessels, the British have
had thousands of destroyers, submar-
inc chasers of all sizes and kinds, mine
sweepers. aircraft and every other
known method of combating submar
ines posted in these waters in the eff
forts to keep open the shipping lanes.
All these forces are now under Ad-
miral Sims. On him also rests prob
ably the duty of arranging for the ar

Not q single national trad associa-
ton, Hoover told the senators, is OPP
posed to the food control bill.
The allies are dependent upon
North America for the vast majority
of their food imports. We should be
able to supply 60 per cent of what they
require. The other 40 per cent must
be made up b. further denial on their
part and saving on ours. Without an
adesuate food supply no European
population will continue to fight and
we should find ourselves alone against
Germany.
Mr.. Hoover cited the canning trade as
an example, where the entire output Of
vegetables and fish for 1917 has been dis
posed of before it has reached the can
ners. He predicted further high prices,

that unless some administration of our

grow.

might not get the beneficial result for the
