The above is the exact reading
of the law relating to the duty of
the board regarding the financial
condition of this city, and if they
intend to do their duty it should
be done; or are they to do as
they wish regardless of the law?

Secrets
ADVERTISING
USEFUL ILLUSTRATIONS.

Appropriate and attractive illustra-
tions help the proper display lines
attract your attention and gain your
interest.
Unattractive Illustrations and Illus
tratlons having no connection with
the subject advertised oftentimes do
more harm than good.
For instance, the picture Of q per-
spring iceman carrying cake of ice
in an advertisement announcing "HOt
Weather Millinery" might suggest hot
weather, but not in the attractive
manner necessary to interest you in
the line of hats advertised.
The first impression you might gain
from such an illustration Is that ice
is being advertised. Not being inter-
ested in changing Ice dealers, perhaps,
you pay no further attention to the
advertisement. And yet you might be
in the market for new hat and would
have been interested in the announce
ment had it pictured some attractive
model wearing a stylish hat.
Successful advertisers view their
advertising from their customers
viewpoint. They judge their illustra-
tions, as we'll as the other parts of
their advertisements, by the effect
upon them if they were customers.
And this helps them prepare good adj
vertising.

TREES HAVE ECONOMIC VALUE
Every Ono That ls Planted Adds 70
Wealth Of Community as Well
as to Its Beauty.

The most striking living landscape
feature is tree, therefore wherever
tree grows the land is more or less
habitable. No matter what kind of u
tree 1t Is, If of large size, it proclaims
that the land 1t adorns is not desert.
Tree have been objects Of love and
veneration since the dawn Of history,
and as their attractions and uses are
many and varied, he who plants tree
plants wealth and adds to the capital
of all.
Trees beautify homes, parks, streets
and even as orchards their beauty is
not the least of their several specific
values. They cool the pnrched earth
and heated atmosphere in summer and
wind in winter, says the Los Angeles
Times. They purify the air we breathe
and prevent winds from contaminuting
it by arresting storms of dust and 9TH
er injurious matter. They add very
materially to the value Of all property
even aside from the esthetic cOnsid-
eratiOns; their pure economic value is
not questioned. There are not, there
fore, any reasons for not planting trees
and so many reasons why we should,
that it is best to place them wherever
and whenever the opportunity pre-
scnts. 1t is indeed easy to get rid of
them if improperly placed. Therefore
be ever planting Il tree, for it grows
all the time, even while the planter
sleeps, and is adding to the wealth OF
all on earth and all to come.

TO STOP PRACTICE OF
BLEEDING" FARMERS
BILL BEFORE GEORGIA SENATE
AIMED AT EXCESSIVE CHARC-
ES FOR CROP ADVANCES.

A bill to stop the practice of
bleeding" farmers through alleged
excessive charges for advances made
and secured by liens on crops was
introduced in the senate by Senator
A. A. McCurry of the Thirty-frst,
just before he was struck by an au-
tomobile, which resulted in his death.
Similar bills have been passed in
other Southern states in recent years
and have operated with success, and
indications point to fair prospects of
passage in the present session of the
Georgia legislature.
The bill was introduced by Sena-
tor McCurry provides that in order
to be entitled to the benefits of any
lien on crops, the landlord or other
persons shall not charge above 10
per cent. above retail cash price for
such articles as are furnished, and
this 10 per cent shall be in lieu of
interest on the debt. If more than
10 per cent. is charged, the lien or
mortgage shall be null and void.
Cash Price.
The retail cash price shall be the
regular cash price charged by the
merchant to cash customers. In the
case of advances for supplies by land
lords or other persons not engaged
in retail business, if the prices are
called into question by the purchaser,
the retail cash prices of the supplies
advanced may be determined by talk
ing the average between the cash
prices for the same class of two
neighboring merchants, one selected
by the landlord and the other by the
one to whom the advance is made.
In the case of money loaned by
person, firm or corporation for the
purpose of enabling person to cult
vate crop, and taking for security
a lien or mortgage on the crop and
the personal property of the one re-
ceiving the advance, a commission
may be charged of not more than 10
per cent, provided the money shall
be advanced in installments and the
10 per cent. commission allowed
shall not be deducted, but shall be
added to the amount of money agreed
to be advanced.
All liens or mortgages made under
the provisions of this bill would be
valid for their face value in the hands
of purchasers for value and before
maturity, even though the charges
made are in excess of those allowed
in the bill, but in such cases the par
ty to whom the advances are made
would have the right to recover from
the party making the advances any
sum might be compelled to pay a
third party in excess of the charges
allowed.

DO NOT Be SURPRISED
If ARMY WORM COMES
SOON BE TIME FOR THIS DE-
STRUCTIVE PEST TO BE ON
THE MARCH. GET READY.

In these days when the raising of
armies is the thing, don't be surpris-
ed if the worms begin TO enlist. The
Southern grass worm does this in
stinctively, regardless of the national
military policy, and is known as the
fall army worm
This well known pest of grass at
tacks corn as a second choice when
all of the grass within easy range has
been eaten, says J. R. Watson, of the
University of Florida experiment sta
ton. The destructive armies usually
form in July or August, sometimes
earlier. Besides eating the native
grasses and corn, the army worm Sc
riously Injuries rice, oats, sorghum
and coWpeas. They will even attack
potatoes and sweet potatoes.
When the worms are found feed
ing on grasses, kill them by spray
ing with a solution of powdered ar
senate of zinc, pound to so gallons
of water.
If the worms are on the march"
they may be largely destroyed by
scattering poisoned bran bait broad
cast over the infested fields. This
bait is composed as follows: Wheat
bran,5O pounds; paris green, 1
pound; low grade molasses, 2 gallons;
and the juice of several lemons or
oranges. Thoroughly mix the bran
and paris green dry. Then the mo-
lasses is added, and sufficient water
is used to make the mass damp, not
sloppy, so that when sown broadcast
it will fall in small flakes. The fruit
juice should be added to the water
before mixing it with the bait.

GEORGIA CONGRESSMEN
TO FIGHT COTTON CONTROL.
House Members Will Oppose Senate
Amendment at Risk of Food Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July IA
Members of the Georgia delegation
in congress were in receipt today of
copies of the resolution passed by the
Georgia legislature demanding that
cotton be excluded from the terms
of the food control bill. All the rep
resentatives from the cotton-growing
states are, without exception, oppos-
ed to this amendment, which was
added by the senate after the meas
ure had passed the house. They con-
fidently predict that the house will
refuse to accept the senate amend
ment and that cotton will be exclud-
ed from the terms of the bill in con-
ference.
Representative Brand, Grip and
Wise, of Georgia, went so far today
as to declare they would not sup
port the food control bill unless cot
ton and its products were exempted
from its provisions.
