War Industries Board Has Issued Bull
letin on Subject.


letin on Subject.
There will be fewer styles in mems
ordinary straw hats for the 1919 sea-
son from which to make selections,
according to a bulletin received
from the war industries board.
The restrictions on mems hats
have been made in order to con-
serve material, labor and transporta-
ton, and to free much capital tied, up
in large stocks.
The yacht hat, which is the stiff
straw hat commonly used and of
which there are numerous shapes and
styles, will be restricted to six dimen-
sions, with three heights of crown and
three widths of brim. The same re-
strictions have been placed on soft
braid hats. There will be but one
telescope shape, and Alpine hats will
be limited to two heights Of crown
and two widths of brim. No restric-
lions will be placed on Panamas or
other hats woven abroad, the order

sheets on your boys bed and dusting

1t took more than a year for Uncle
Sam to get two million soldiers to
France.
1t will take much more than a year
for him to bring them back again.
That's the fact the women of
America must face, and face with all
the brave courage and patience with
which they sent their men to fight
the Hun.
Of course it is likely that a large
number of our boys will be back long
before year is over, but there is alb
solutely no way to tell how long it
will take to bring them all back.

FARMERS URGED TO
PLOW AND POLITIC
HOLDING OF COTTON Is URGED
BY SPEAKERS AT STATE
MEETING OF UNION.

Mayor >. D. Weaver returned from
Macon Thursday, where he attended
the annual convention of the Georgia
division of the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union of America,
of which he is vice president.
The convention was in session two
DAYS, and was one of the Invest and
most interesting meetings ever held.
Authorities on the all-absorbing
cotton situation, foremost among
whom were Chas. II. Barrett, national
president Of the Farmers Union, and
E. A. Calvin, Washington represen-
tative of the cotton marketing board,
were present and amde addresses.
Plow and Polite Program.
In his address Mr.. Barrett declared
that every farmer should raise more
food crops or get off the farm. He
also made an appeal to them to get
into politics, stating that there was
all to gain and nothing to lose by such
a course. He was of the opinion
that though they might raise all the
foodstuffs needed the men who con-
troll politics will fix the prices. The
program recommended by him was
''plow and politic-50-50." Govern
ment interference was the cause of
the decline in the price of cotton, he
stated.
Calvin's Criticism Severe.
The cotton question in detail was
discussed by one of the foremost cot
ton authorities, E. A. Calvin, who
has travelled in Europe, visiting Man
chester, Liverpool and Bremen, and
this country, where he made a scien-
tifc study of the whole situation. He
discussed the cotton question in de-
tail. His explanation of the decline
was the restrictions which have been
thrown around cotton. Four-ffths of
the cotton is in the hands of the farm
ers and business men, he said.
His criticism of the men who have
regulated cotton prices was severe.
He praised W. P. G. Hardin for his
work along the line of discounting
farm paper. Boards ought now to be
abolished as there is no further need
for them, according to Mr.. Calvin.
He emphatically called on farmers to
hold their cotton, declaring that as
soon as peace is settled cotton will go
up. He was also in favor of shipping
cotton to Germany, for, he said,
why feed Germany and not clothe
Germany"
Plant Food Crops.
Mr. Weaver was chairman of the
committee on resolutions, which, as
unanimously adopted, advise the
farmers to hold their cotton and plant
larger food crops. The farmers are
urged to stand together against gam
blers in the cotton market
The following officers were re-elec-
ted for another year: ]. H. Mills, of
Jenkinsburg, president; j. D. Weaver,
of Dawson, vice president; Andrew j.
Fleming, of Jenkinsburg, secretary
treasurer.
The executive committee is COM
posed of ]. D. Weaver, of Dawson;
c. H. Kittrell, of Dublin; B. ]. Woo
ten, of Forest Park w. w. Clark, of
Thomson, and H. A. Boykin, of Syl-
vania.

It is a common mistake TO suppose
that to get the necessary strength to
do hard manual labor heavy meat
diet is necessary. This is far from
correct. Muscular labor does not ma
terlally affect the demand for minerals
and prOteins, but rather for starcheS,
fats, and sugars. Therefore any adj
ditionaI wastage through muscular eff
fort could be much better repaired by
pancakes and strip than by roast beef,
for as much moisture and heat are
wasted as tissue, so it is fuel that Is
required.-POpular Science Monthly.
