ORDER IS AMENDED
RETAILERS MAY SELL PRODUCE
TO WHOLESALERS.

Maxwell A. O'Brien, County Food
Administrator. received an order yes
terday from the Food Administration,
stating that it would be wrmissible
for retailers to sell Seggs TO whole.
salers and commission men.
Some time ago, an order was made
to the effect that this would not be
permissible, but owing to the fact
that numerous farmers come in and
trade eggs, and other farm products
for produce from the store, If deal.
ers were not allowed to sell these
eggs to wholesalers and commission
merchants, it would actually put some
of them out of business; as a great
deal of business is done with the farm
customer on this trading basis.
1 For that reason, the Food Admins
,tration has made it permissible for
grocers to sell eggs TO wholesalers
and commission merchants.

quired in the immediate future for ser
vice overseas TO fill the gaps inflicted
in the western front drive" the war
departments weekly statement de
clared today.
1.-THE outcome of the present opera
ton on the western front depends up
on the man power" said the statement
adding '1t IL our supreme duty to sup
ply and replace the units for the ar
mics in France. We must be able to
put frosh men in the fields after they
have been thoroughly trained
Large Quotas Needed.
"In addition to those already called
and those now training in canton
ments as well as those who are all
, ready for service very large quotas
will be required for the immediate fu-
lture to fill the gaps"
This statement apparently was in
tended to prepare the nation for the
calls which will be greater than those
lined up for the coming month or two.

In admitting the gravity of the situ'
alton the statement declared that the
crisis up to the present moment had
resulted "in large measures favorable
to the enemy but pointed out that
with the joint allied commands the
Boches had failed in their purpose Of
wrecking the British armies.

Channel Ports in Peril.
London, April 90, Some of the
newspapers appear to be preparing
the public for the loss of the channel
ports. The Times today, says:
There is no denying that the loss
of KENNEL hill is a considerable tao
tical success for the enemy, and 1t
will be well, therefore, to prepare for
the receipt of other disagreeable news
If the enemy is able to extend his grip
on KENNEL we may be compelled to
eyacuate Ypres. Such evacuation
would not inevitably entail the aban-
donment of Dunkirk, Calais and Boul-
ogne, but it is well to realize that
these consequences might ensue. We
must remember that the Germans can
not win the war by the occupation OF
Ypres and the channel ports.

HYDRO-PLANT To Be
RUN NEAR MONTEzUMl

MONTEZUMA, Ca, February g.
James Harrison and E. NJ Mckenzie,
of this city, have commenced active
work on the installation of an hydro
electric plant on Whitewater creek
about four miles north of here. The
plant will be used for transmitting
electric current to Montezuma and
Oglethorpe for light and power.
Whitaker creek has the largest flow
of any single stream emptying into
Flint river and is sufficient to develop
several hundred horsepower.
The lake that will be formed by the
installation of this plant will make
it one Of the most attractive spots
in Southwest Georgia and as Whitak-
er creek is favorite fishing ground,
tie lake will doubtless become a popu-
lar retreat for those who delight in
casting the rod.
Outside Of the modern development
of this plant for generating electric
power, a considerable sum will be
spent in making the lake and park at
tractive and inviting, especially to
motorists who might wish to spend a
day angling for the finny tribe.
The people of Montezuma are much
pleased in the knowledge they are
soon to have an uninterrupted cleo
trio service. Several new industries
are assured as soon as this power is
available.

BIG CONCERNS FIND
One MAN CAN DO
WORK OF SEVERAL
MOTOR CAR EQUIPMENT ENABLES
SALES MANAGER TO COVER
TERRITORIES THOROUGHLY
AND AT SAME TINE RELEASE
MEN TO GOVERNMENT.

1t does not require more than a
casual observation to discern that the
automobile is beginning to step into
the breach in decisive way to fill the
gaps made n business ranks by the
loss by CONSUMPTION of trained sales
men and skilled mechanics. Its
adaptability Off conserving time and
speeding up man power has already
been utilized to great advantage in
lines of business that required city So
licitors of service men
Il know of three firms who employ
from ten to twenty statesmen GOVERNS
Detroit and suburban territory" said
a Dodge Brothers official Most of
these statesmen are within the draft
age, These firms have already dis
counted a loss of at least third of
their force and the possibility of hav-
ing to take on untrasle- men by fur
nishing their older statesmen with pas
senger cars. These men have already
demonstrated their ability to make six
times as many calls and have practi-
cally tripled their orders at much
decreased cost by the use of passen-
ger cars.
II can cite another interesting in
stance where service men are utilized
in the dual capacity of statesmen. A
big photograph house has the custom
of sending a mechanic at certain in
tervals to adjust instruments and
forestall any possible service COM
plants. Later this firm developed
the idea of having the mechanic sug,
gest list of trial orders on the new
popular records This plan worked
out so successfully that it not only
cut out the service expense, but actu-
ally brought in profit.
I'm this case, the war brought about
a decrease in the force which again
was met by the use of automobiles.
The manager reports to me that al
though he has had to dispense with
half of his men, the automobile has
already duplicated the firms former
profit on the investment.
There are SO many hundreds of
lines of business to which the auto
mobile process can be applied as a
time-saver and labor-saver that its
utility is going to be more pronounced
than ever in bolstering up the scarcity
of framed men,"

Can You Hop?

LONDON, February 2.-If you can
hop twenty times on each foot without
showing signs of undue distress, the
British army considers your health
good enough for general service, ac-
cording to a new book of instructions
issued to the examining medical
boards. The test recommended is as
follows:
1.-THE rate of the pulse is taken, and
then then the recruit is directed to
hop twenty times on each foot, raising
the other foot nine inches. At the
end of this performance, in health,
there should be no noteworthy breath
lessness and no pallor or anxiety of
expression. Two minutes later the
pulse should be not more than five
beats more frequent than it was before
the exercise

FINE CATTLE ARE

DAWSON, Ga, February 2.-Sat-

Atlanta packing house of which he is
the local representative two carloads
of beef cattle.
There were in the shipment eighty
two head, and they were bought from
farmers of the county at prices rang
ing from six and half to eight cents
a pound on the hoof. In the lot were
cows that were brought here from
north Georgia to fatten in the velvet
bean fields of Terrell.
More attention is being given to
raising cattle in the county than ever
before, and on almost every farm
can be found herds of various sizes.
The number may be expected to in
crease, as nowhere can feed be grown
cheaper or in greater abundance.
