found a very good thing because it
stimulated membership in the club
and not only that, but had tendency
to stimulate business also, because
of the new gowns that the ladies wore
at these annual affairs. The matter
was left entirely in the hands of the en-
tertainment committee for whom ].
F: Armstrong had stated earlier in the
meeting that the committee was not
ready to make full and complete report
owing to the fact that some of the mem
i bers of the committee were too busy
with preparing for the next Liberty
Loan campaign.
President Stolz in opening the meet
ing stated that never in the history of
the city was it of as much importance
to have good Commercial Club as at
the present time, as had been dem
onstrated repeatedly within the past
year. H. H. Walters reported on the
progress that is being made in the build
ing of the city hall. In his opinion it
would be less than two months before
the ground would be broken for tie
building.
New Members
j. C.. Siebenbrunner, C. H. Hough,
the new manager Of Simons Lumber
Co., A. Schulke and Fred Schulke were
accepted as members. A. E. Eppeland,
P. W. Hutson and F. R. Enmings We're
dropped because they had left the city.

and a national income of $4,000, 100000.

of the Entente however, Germany had the advan-
tage of being thoroughly prepared, organized and
unified The Entente has done most of its pre-
pairing since the war broke out It is safe to say

FRANK HAWKINS, President


Mr.. Hawkins, who is president of the Third Ma
tional Bank of Atlanta has sent out ten thousand
copies of the following letter.
Dear Sir: Let me add brief personal word to
Mr. McAdoo's appeal to the people of the south to
raise their own foodstuffs
Our experiences already have proven to us the
Importance of being self-sustaining. Unless we
provide against it, there is not only possibility but
probability that these experiences will be far
severe another winter than they now.
The coal situation has taught lesson that
may we'll apply to food. Let start campaign
at to indelibly impress upon farmers that
they must not have their smokehouses and their
cribs in the west, while this world struggle
is going If they do, and transportation facili-
ties should fall short, it is easy to how the
south might be on half ratiOns.
Again, must not only raise food to protect
ourselves, but also in order to conserve trans
portation facilities which everywhere needed for
the successful prosecution of the We must
raise food so that there will be enough to both
our own demands and those of our allies.
WE MUST THEREFORE, MAKE COTTON A
SECONDARY CONSIDERATION IN OUR 1918
CROPS.
AS prominent citizen and banker of your COM
munity, feel you exert strong influence with
the farmers of your section to this end Thirty
cent cotton is a great temptation, but even dollar
cotton won't buy food, if it is not to be had The
present coal situation is sufficient evidence of this
Besides, at present prices, there is fully as much
profit to the farmer in food products, than
there is in cotton.
Let us as bankers, having the country's a well
as the farmers interest at heart, give the farmer
every assurance that stand squared: back of him
in his effort to meet this pressing food problem, in
which is involved not only own safety, but the
winning of the
Yours very truly,
FRANK HAWKINS, President.
