Gintcr Park and HUI! Street linee.
Councilman L, Lee Poden. of Lee
Ward. appeared before the Street Com
mittce and urged the adoption OF tn.
resolution, which was introduced In
the Council several weeks ago. He
declared that often the cars were
operated from five to ten minutes less
frequently than was required by the
franchise. In some instances, he said
cars had been operated only every
twenty-five mintcs because of trouble
on the line.
MANY NOTICE INFREQUENCY
OF CAR SERVICE
Several members OF the committe e
said they had also noticed the infre-
quency of the cars. The opinion was
also expressed that tho long distance
between the two terminals was partly
responsible for the irregular service.

PUT UP A TOOL SHED ON
THE FARM THIS WINTER

Numerous Investigations of the
farm machinery question have thor
oughly established the fact that the
life of farm machinery depends
mainly upon the owner. The same
machine lasts twice, three or four
times as long with one man as it
does with another. This difference
in the life of machine is largely
due to shelter and lack of shelter.
The deterioration in plows, cultivat-
ors, seeders, fertilizer distributors,
threshers, wagons and other machin-
cry through lack of shelter is appall-
ing.
There should be a machine shed
on every farm to protect farm tools,
implements and machinery from the
sunshine and rain. The building need
not be expensive There must, of
course, be ample protection against
sun, rain and wind and proper drain
age to insure dry storage. The To-
cation must be convenient so as to
be easily reached with all kinds Of
farm machinery. 1t ought to be so
constructed that it is as easy to put
the implements and machinery I'M
der shelter as it is to leave them out,
and it ought also to be so arranged
that the implements and machines
can be gotten out for use without
any great inconvenience.
A very convenient and inexpensive
shed consists of building of medi-
UNI width, say IS or 20 feet, the
length being governed by the num-
Der of implements to be housed. A
building 1925 feet usually furnishes
ample room for the implements used
on the average 160-acre cotton belt
farm.
The shed need not be built very
high unless one desires storage on
the second floor. Seven feet to the
caves is enough. The floor should
be made of cinders, gravel or &C.
ment from six inches to foot above
the outside surface level of the
ground to insure drainage and avoid
dampness.-The Progressive Farmer.

WOMEN URGED TO
BACK CAMP AIGN
FOR FOOD SAVING

Mrs. Samuel Inman, vice chairman
Of the Georgia Council of Defense,
has written to the 152 county chair
men of the woman's committee to get
behind the present campaign of fed
eral food administration in Georgia.
at is the initiative step in our re-
construction" Mrs. Inman states. at
is the one which relates US at pres
ent to the whole world. We are a
state rich in resources; our agricul-
turaI advantages are unlimited, and
now is the time for US to prove our
prosperity and share it with the
world.
81 would urge upon the women of
Georgia to bear in mind that no mat
ter whatever else is going to be CIV
en- US to do, that we follow the two
calls from the government that are
being made now, which are that we
aid in every possible way the cam
paign for food production and con-
servation, and that we likewise aid
in any plans which will be presented
to us in the matter of labor adjust
ments.
ear from relaxing our defense
work we must go on with it, for it
not only concerns the results of the
war and conditions precipitated, but
it directly bears upon our future as a
state and a nation. We are begin
ming a new era in our civilization,
and let US build on a good, sound
foundation. Let US not go on in the
happy-go-lucky way we once did, and
which found US in a woeful state of
unpreparedness when the war call
came.
Let us begin now to take advant-
age of previous experiences, to make
better every department of our life

nation"

week of Christmas and the day be-

disadvantage to both the trades
people and the purchaser.
The people who really enjoy Civ

who really give for the pleasure Civ
