A Call for Help.

Mrs. G. S. Flournoy, supervi-
SCR OF surgical dressings, issues
an earnest appeal for workers in
her department. The afternoons
for this class of work are Tues
days, Wednesdays and Thurs
days, at 2 o'clock. Some of these
afternoons there are no more than
two ladies working in the rooms
on the third flooryof the Garbutt-
Donovan building, again there is
fairly good number. Will you
not register with these workers
for at least one afternoon, or a
portion of one afternoon, Of each
week?
A shipment was made yester-
day of 375 cotton and oakum pads
but we are informed that this
shipment falls far below what is
expected of Our chapter, all on ac-
count of lack of workers. The
work is simple, and only requires
few moments of instruction and
practice.

Little Corn Held
by Dealers in
East and South.

Small stocks of corn in the hands
of dealers in New England and other
eastern and southern States, with the
exception of Delaware, Maryland,
and Virginia, where SURPRISES were
produced. are indicated by reports to
the Department of Agriculture. Ac-
tual available supplies in the south
eastern States are said to be greater
than ever before, although the
amount of corn in the hands of dis
tributors and other dealers is much
below normal.
Most districts in the southeastern
States have sufficient supplies for To-
cal needs, while dealers in manv
places, especially Mississippi, Alaba-
ma Georgia, and Florida, have ship
ped large quantities of corn to the
larger markets.

Help from Schools

You know how, every valentine
season, the children spend all
available nickles and dimes for
those fancily made messages of
love. This year their little loves
went forth in a different form as
demonstrated by the 1st and 3rd
ward schools. The children made
little paper hearts, colored them
red, and pasted their nickels and
dimes on them, and dropped them
in a heart-shaped red box for the
benefit of the Red Cross.
The amount turned in by Miss
Julia Prentiss from this clever
little scheme was $1.7O, and from
Miss Barbara Reynolds $3.50.
There are numerous little plans
that might be formed to help the
Red Cross, instructing the child
rem along the lines of patriotism
as well as bene6tting most
worthy cause.

FOOD CONDITIONS HERE AND
IN EUROPE ALARMING

Atlanta, Ga, Fe b.26.-U. S. means
aa time of war more than ever ~.
y We need food and more food;
We can't get too much food. The
farms of the state have got to pro-
duce it for Georgia, and Georgians
have got to feed themselves if there
as 10 be certainty that Georgia will
have food. More than that, Georgia
Must bear her part of feeding Geor-
gaa boys in the army. WE can't do
that unless our farms produce sub
stantial surplus over the home con-
sumption demands.
None of these crops are going to
be raised for gift; they are going on
tho markets to be sold-that means
bigger business for the farmer The
world has got to have it.
Several banks in this state have put
their shoulders to the wheel. They
sec the importance of and big bust
ness in it. Financial backing is re-
quircd to do big business. That's
where the banks come in. +, AS an H.
iustration the First National Bank of
Rome, answering the question What
do you think ought to be done to
meet the situation?" has made this
announcement--or put on foot this
plan to bring Food Products"
ORGANIZATION: Every pos
sible effort should be made to stimu-
late cooperation among farmers or
carnations and business men, espec-
ciaily along the following lines:
1. In every county, thorough
bnsaness-llke county organization for
agricultural purposes, consisting of
snb-community organizations if pos
sible, should be fostered, and regular
meetings held with the County Agent
dor stimulating interest in production
and conservation. The leadership of
the county should be marshalled for
this purpose
Z. Financing of farming for food
production at reasonable rates of in
terest, such as the purchase of nj
trates and other fertilizers, containers
for pcrishables, pigs and other live
stock. This is a patriotic necessity.
3. Obtaining necessary seed of
the proper varieties for planting all
available acres.
y. Purchasing better farming i'm
plemcnts as substitutes for lack of la
Dor.
5. Agricultural organizations can
AID greatly in stimulating pig. corn,
calf, sheep, canning clubs and other
lines OF boys and girls club work.
We hope to get the Chamber of
Commerce and the Fair Association
to wage a strong campaign on this
line"

NATIONAL BODY is PLANNED
Combination Of Trap Shooting Organi-
cations Is Within Possibilities
Similar to A. A. u.

A combination of several of the
trap-shooting organizations is under
way, and it appears probable that a
national association will soon exist for
the benefit Of the sport and amateur
and professional shooters. The old
Interstate Trap-shooting association,
through it's development department,
is being reorganized along new and
broader lines, and the American ANA
teur Trap-shooters' association being
combined with it.
The plans for the new association
are in many ways similar to the A. A.
U. and the United States Golf asso-
citation. They provide for the mem
bership of all amateur shooters, who
will control the sport through repre-
sentatives from the state associations.
In addition to these memberships, pro-
visions are made for supporting men,
berships by all interested organiza-
lions.
It is proposed that the new associa-
ton shall compile the averages of all
shooters and arrange for their handi-
Gaping and classification. It will also
arrange for and provide trophies,
award medals, determine rules and
regulations for the sport and for the
determination Of state and national
champions.
