ATLANTA CAR FARES
ARE HEADED UPWARD

Atlanta, Ga, August Atlanta
which has kicked so hard against in
creased street railway fares and or
power rates, will probably have to
pay the higher rates. At least that
is the opinion following the decision
of the War Labor Board in recent
trolley transportation cases that An
increase is absolutely necessary to
prevent such organizations from 60
ing into bankruptcy.
The decision as sent in from Wash
ington urges local authorities to take
into consideration the various handi-
caps imposed upon the financing Of
such company by the war, and urges
that, as question of policy and in
justice that the public should pay an
adequate compensation for war serv-
ice
Anticipating this story came the
announcement from Macon that the
city has voluntarily agreed to six
cent car fare. Other towns feel that
Atlanta perhaps overstressed the sit
uation as to rates in its anxiety to
maintain cheap rates for itself

GEORGIA FOOD BOARD
BREAKS ALL RECORDS

ATLANTA, GA.-Recent reports
of the successful work of the food ad-
ministration, both of the nation and
the state OF Georgia, in conserving
and shipping food for the allies, have
inspired widespread comment on the
plans and efficiency of the admins
tration. y AkIi
Georgia alone has entered so hear
tily into the food-saving campaign
that it acquired the lead in it's sur
plus Of -four for redistribution, and
during the months of April, May,
June and part of July, the state food
administrator, DR.. A. M. Soule, was
able to report sufficiency of -four
for the states needs without further
shipments into the state for that pc
Rod. This enabled Georgia to turn
over to the government 36,000000
pounds of flour.
DR.. Soule is justly proud of this
record. He has given much time
and energy to the work, which has
grown largely since first begun. The
people OF the state have co-operated
in every way possible, and it is to
this splendid cooperation that Geor-
gia owes its splendid record.

Georgia-Ben Hill County.
To All Whom 1t May Concern:
Mrs. G. w. Howe having in proper
form applied to me for Permanent
Letters of Administration on the es-
tate of g. w. Howe, late of said
county, this is to cite all and singuler
the creditors and next of kin of G..
W. Howe to be and appear at my
office within the time allowed by law,
and show cause, if any they can, why
permanent administration should not
be granted to Mrs. G. w. Howe on
G. w. Howze's estate.
Witness my hand and official sigma
ture this 5th day of August, 1919.

SUGAR NOW SERVED
IN PAPER ENVELOPES

ATLANTA, GA.-The elimination
of the open sugar bowl from cafes
and large boarding houses has result
ed in the introduction of individual
paper packages of sugar in the public
eating places of the city. Instead of
the overlooking bowl and the sugar
spoon frequently dipping back and
forth, the patrons of the cafes must
content themselves with pouring out
their little bit of sweetness from the
, corner of the paper envelope.
All Of which is helping the public
at large to remember that Georgia is
on much shorter sugar ration this
month than it has ever been before. 1t
also makes it obligatory for every
person to use the much desired COM
modify economically whether they
want to do so or not.
DR.. A. M. Soule the federal food ad-
ministrator, is hoping that Georgia
twill set another record in food con-
servation by bringing its sugar sur
plus up to as splendid a showing as
the -four surplus made.

FROM A FITZGERALD
BOY in FRANCE
France, July Is, 1918.

FRANCE, july 10, 1913.
Dear Sister:
just a line tonight to let you know
| am still among those on earth and
IN the best of health. We are having
hot weather now and it bothers me
some but | guess by the time | am
over here ten years | will get used to
i, Any way they ell say that the first
seven years will be the hardest.
This ole. war sure keeps us or the
move and guess that is the only ex-
cuse ! can offer for not writing soon
er, but honest, try and write regular
but II seems impossible no matter
how good my resolutions are. Some
thing always turns up that interferes
so please consider no news good news
and let it go at that.
Yes, the Yanks are giving good
account OF themselves on the front.
Kaiser Bill misjudged our power and
by the way our papers read he is keep
ing the real war news away from his
people. Once they find out the real
state of affairs there is going to be
something doing in Germany that will
surprise the world. just wait
Russia is going to be great come
back; the only trouble is they have no
leaders and insufficient war material
In my outfit we have some very
strong arguments concerning Russia
and also we have some men who are
we'll versed in this war of today.
l understand what your first French
phrase was but the second | had to
have help. wish you would write
these phrases more often as every
little bit helps. Sometimes | try to
pick up this lingo but you should see
me try to talk. Hands and feet all
going at the same time and sometimes
| try to wiggle my ears. 1t sure gets
my goat. But by the time l get my
ten years in hope to be able to speak
: French very fippantly. Don't you
sometimes think when you read my
letters that had better learn how to
spell in the English language before I
tackle the French? I know | make
awful breaks sometimes.
How are Papa and Mama getting
along. Be sure and give them my
, love. | hear from Aunt Alice, June
and Don sometimes; they all owe ME
letter at present.
Now don't forget to send me a pic
ture Of my star and l will expect it in
every letter until | get it and / won't
take mo" for an answer. Must close
, now with love from your brother,
