THE SOUTH NO STACKER
ATLANTA Journal)


In the March issue of its monthly
letter, the American Exchange Ma
tional Bank of New York makes a
highly complimentary reference to
the South and to the part this section
is playing in the nations war enter
prises, assuring the world that the
South may be depended upon in the
crisis, because it is mo Stacker" And
the publication was written prior to
the Macon "food-drive" meeting last
Wednesday!
Under the caption "The Spring
Drive on the Farm" the monthly let
ter, in a summary of conditions in
the various parts of the country, with
comment thereupon, says of the
South:
early seasons draw attention tt
the South, from which the first crop
reports come, and this year these
States will be in the limelight as
never before. We may count on
large crops in the South, because the
farmers of that region raised record
breaking grain crops last year and
received high prices for both grain
and cotton. They have money and
credit and are in position to en-
gage in still larger operations this
spring. When the value Of cotton
seed, peanuts, potatoes and vege-
tables raised in the South last year
Is taken into account, it appears that
the South produced foodstuffs and
feedstuffs worth $5,OOO,OOO, 5000. The
South has not diminished its cotton
acreage, but 1t has paid more atten.
ton to other crops, and it found
mixed farming more profitable thar
ah-cotton last year, though it got 81
cents and more pound for cotton
The South is no Stacker when 4

because its labor situation is more
satisfactory, and its farmers have the
means and the incentive for greater
efforts"
NO other part of the country re-
ceives so much particular attention
by this banks publication, nor any,
thing in point of enthusiastic COM
mendation, approaching its refer
ence to the South, what we have
done, are doing and trying to do
down here in the way of rationing
ourselves and our co-belligerents.
The American Exchange National
is one of the most powerful banking
houses of the country. Its observers
of conditions and trend of events are
men of wise discernment and keen
Insight with regard to all matters of

ally conservative to an extreme, and

OUR NAVY

William w. Funk, of this city, boil,
ermaker, on the U. s. Panther, now
ever in France, has sent the enclosed
piece Of poetry to the Telegram tt
print. While he is not the author, he
thought it worthy of publication and
wished it to appear in the Telegram
It follows:
When the war broke out our navy lads
We're rated pretty low;
When written down with pen and ink
1t seemed we had no show.
When those gray destroyers crossed
the sea,
This feat was some surprise
And with their daring Sammie grit
They opened Europe's eyes.
Now the U-boats found it different
When they tackled Uncle Sam
We didn't make running fight,
But mixed right in the jam.
They found our boys were fighters,
Our officers no slobs;
No German ever sailed the seas
Can lick our Sammie cobs.
Our boys don't boast of what THEY'VE
done;
1t amt a Sammie fashion.
But when German ileaves in sight
They give him one fine thrashing,
Our flag has never met defeat
By navy great or small,
For when it comes to fighting ships,
The Sammies lead them all.
NO matter how the winds may blow.
How high the seas may run,
They put to sea and guard thei,
posts
Until their work is done.
DC don't weep about our navy, bows
Or think it has no chance;
Take tip from our destroyers
And their record made in Franco
Inc destroyers send their greetings
From storm tossed wintry sea-
OF the coast of France and Ireland
Where we guard increasingly.
We've upheld Old Glory's honor
And we've added to her fame
And we've beat the German Kaiser
AT his dirty U-boat game.
We've conveyed our troops in safety
And we've landed them in France
F.; Now beneath the starry banner
They are ready to advance.
And we know they'll be victorious
When our German foes they meet
And so we send to you our greeting
From the whole destroyer fleet.

In view of the attitude of the

Philadelphia, Feb. 23.--As a war
necessity, the people must largely
refrain from eating wheat flour Tor
the next 90 days, possibly for a
longer period. This statement was
made here on the authority of Her
bert c. Hoover, federal food admin
istrator, by Howard Heinz, admin
istrator for Pennsylvania, speaking
before an audience of newspaper
managers. A telegram was read
from Mr.. Hoover which made it
plain that this country must imme-
diately send food to the allies or
lose the war. If it is not sent, "it
means but one thing-catastrophe,
declared Mr.. Hoover.
The telegram from the lood ad-
ministrator follows;
"The food situation Of the allies
grows more critical every week.
Their own short crops, coupled with
eyer-increasing shortage Of ship
ping, which limits importations
more and more to food from the
nearest markets, make the response
bility of America in the provision OF
food for the allies even greater.

Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store Tor 35c, or
extra large bottle at SlO0.
Zemo generally removes pimples, black
heads, blotches, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antisepdc
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trifle for each application. 1t Is
always dependable.
