worked upward on a moderate outside
speculative demand and in the absence

Around midday values were about at
the opening level. The demand from
jobbers and roasters continues very lin
tied, with prices higher following the
advances in Brazil and in the futures
market here.
Deliveries are decreasing, but still
fairly good.

LET US MOVE THE sTUMPs

Macon is busy making loud noise
about coming tractor denmonstra-
ton. The tractor is the coming nipple
ment for land breaking in this country
but it cannot come till the stumps are
removed from the farms. Tractor
statesmen in this country should be
busy with vigorous campaign again
1.-The stump,-a campaign which
would strike fire. improved farming
methods are demanding the tractor
already, but nine of every ten farm
ers in the real farming section of
Georgia are tied hand and foot with
stumps in their fields. This is hind
rance which not only precludes the
use of the tractor, but it prevents the
use of improving labor saving machin
cry in cultivating the crop.
South and central Georgia suffer
in farming from 70 one other draw
back which is so great and which is
so little taken into account The
stumps in our fields block improved
farming from the day the first stroke
is made. This is not theory or fine
spun argument. 1t is the truth, such
plain truth, that every farmer should
be given an account of what he is
losing because he has not taken the
stumps from his fields.

tracted by the farmers last year in
some cases at very good prices. Mum
bers of local farmers sold their crops
at $110 per ton That is not a bad
price. 1t will not be bad price next
year, or even less than that.
Many big planters have costly ma

crop. 1t will not be necessary to &c
to this expense another year. This
should be taken into consideration

Mai. Gen. Goethals has asked the
house military committee for an ap-
preparation CT $6O,OO0,OOO to be used
in storing the enormous quantities
of surplus war supplies in possession
of the war department. Thousands OF
tons are being brought back to this
country from France, he said, and
the ports of debarkation have become
congested because no storage places
are available. He said much Of the
material was being left in the open
and that the government was losing
heavily by it's deterioration.
Gen. Goethals estimated the value
of the unstored supplies at billions OF
dollars and said everything used by
the army was included. Some of the
materials can be disposed of he said
but parts of it must be stored until
either the market can absorb it or the
government can find use for it.

Before Caloids, the new calomel
preparation, were put on the market
they were sold for months in the
drug store Of the man originating
them. They were not advertised in
any way, and no particular effort
was made to sell them. The result
was that in very short time Caloids
were outselling other calomel prepa
rations that had been extensively ad
vertised for years. If you want some
thing that will give you all the bene

 "This is which should be pushed rapid Iy possible in order that the benefits hoped for be realized"
 By June 5 1916 he was singing address ed the Common Council in this language:-
