MANY FAIRS POSTPONED
ON ACCOUNT OF FLU"
Bureau of Markets Suggests That All
Breeders Having Stock for Sale
Should List Them at Once

1t is quite probable that many
fairs which were scheduled to have
been held this fall will be called off
on account of Spanis Influenza. This
will naturally upset the plans of many
of Georgia's live stock breeders who
have gone to kreat expense in per-
pairing blooded stock to be shown at
these fairs.
In order to overcome, in part at
least, condition which may serious
IL interfere with the fall sales of
pedigreed stock, to the injury of both
the breeded and buyer, the State
Bureau of Markets suggests that all
breeders who have stock they desire
to offer, and all farmers who con-
template buying breeding stock, list
what they have for sale or what they
wish to buy, with the Market Bureau.
This will enable all parties to get to-
gether, as the State Bureau of Mar
kets will be in position to act as a
clearing house in this emergency.
1t is conditions, and not the value
of the product itself, that is just
now affecting the marke for peanuts;
and the State Bureau of Markets
urges Georgia producers not to rush
their crop to market to the sacrifice
o. price. Because they are just now
overcrowded with cotton seed, many
of the oil mills are independent as
to peanuts, and are offering prices
which the Bureau believes very much
below their value.
Attention is called to the fact that
peanuts are just as acceptable to the
Federal Reserve Bank as collateral,
a. is cotton. 1t is not even necessary
that they be stored in a bonded ware
house, as advances may be obtained
upon them on the receipt from any
reputable warehouse.

American Library Association Books
Sure Reach Soldiers, Says
Raymond Fosdick

'I found the books of the American
Library Association everywhere in
France" says Raymond Fosdick, chair
man of the National Commission on
Training Camp Activities, who has just
returned from an extended trip over.
seas, during which he conducted a
thorough investigation of the work
being done by the various war work
agencies.
Il found them in dugouts thirty or
forty feet below ground, in cow-barns
where shrapnel had blown parts of
the roof away, as we'll as in the sub
stantial huts and tents far back from
the firing line.
II have found them in hospitals and
dressing stations; in scattered villages
in the training area where our men are
billeted and even in the remote parts
of France where the forestry units are
carrying out their lonely, but efficient
and essential work Your books are in
continual demand from the time the
soldiers arrive in camp in America
until they come back home after serv-
ice over there"
The A. L. A. library service has
grown tremendously within the past
few months and millions of books
have been distributed wherever sol
