POTATO GROWERS MUST
CAREFULLYCRADEC CROP
IF THIS is DONE AND THEY ARE
PROPERLY CURED BIG PROF
ITS WILL BE THE RESULT.

Harvest time for sweet potatoes is
upon the people of this section just
now and Georgia today faces the
largest yield of this crop in its his
tory. The acreage for 1919 is ire
mendously large, Georgia being the
second state in acreage, and there is
every promise of a surprising yield
when the digging is finally complet-
ed, and even then there will be
many left in the fields to feed the en-
terprising hogs of Terrell county for
some time.
Sweet potato curing houses are be-
ing reared in various parts of the
county, and they will be ready to take
care of considerable portion of the
crop by the time the harvest is COM
pleted.
With the coming of the harvest
time the U. S. department of agricul-
ture is sending out bulletins over the
country giving suggestions to grow
erS dDOuG harvesting Cle CIOp, urging
the greatest possible care in gather
ing the potatoes, and some of these
suggestions are very valuable. Many
growers are preparing their own cur
ing houses and will handle their own
crops. The government declares I'M
less potatoes are cured the growers
do not get what they should for this
crop. 1t is also pointed out that often
times the potatoes are cut and bruis-
ed in the digging, and are then put
in barrels or sacks without any at
tempt at grading, and then rushed to
market and sold for whatever price
is offered at that time, and usually
this causes an over-supply on the
market and forces the price down.
The secrets of success in getting
good prices are to grade, clean and
sack the product carefully and to put
it upon the market when there is a
demand. The greatest call for sweet
potatoes is, as a rule, from December
to March. The market wants me-
dunn sized, uniform type of sweet
potato, free from bruises or decayed
spots In grading, all understood and
overgrown, crooked, broken or bruis-
ed ones should be kept at home. Culls
and primes should not be marketed
together.

Invades Hostile States to An

Pact. VIII Be On Tour of
Country for Nearly a Month.

A defense of the peace treaty and
the league of nations covenant, IN
which he answered the critics who
are opposed to ratification without
amendment, and a discussion of the
labor unrest and the high cost of liv-
ing problems have featured the
speeches made so far by President
Wilson, who is touring the middle
west and the west on his belated
''swing around the circle"
The chief executive, accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson, Private Secretary
Tumulty and his physician, Admiral
Grayson, together with numerous Sc
cret service men, stenographers and
correspondents, left Washington last
Wednesday. The first speech was
made Thursday in Columbus, o.
The president will travel more
than 10000 miles and cover the dist
ance in about % days, making at
least 80 speeches. The chief eXecu-
tive's tour will carry him into the
very heart of radicalism of the north
west. He will travel through that part
of the country known as the home of
American bolshevism and Industrial
Workers of the World.
Plea for Peace Treaty.
President Wilson in his speeches
has been dwelling upon the theory
that the many problems confronting
the government cannot be solved un-
til the peace treaty is ratified and
the league of nations has become an
accomplished fact. The chief execu-
tive has been telling crowds of Amer
leans in the cities where he already

FEED OUT YOUR HOGS SIX
WEEKS EARLIER.

In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these the entire drove would be
ready for the market six weeks earlier
and to save six weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physical condition. The
B. A. Thomas Hog Powder is a con-
ditioner for hogs. 1t keeps their sys-
TEN clean and healthy and enables
them to fatten quickly without fall
ing a prey to the usual diseases of
hogs. The B. A. Thomas Hog Pow
der is not stock food. It's straight

because it enables you to feed out
your hogs much earlier. WALL

5 WIVES SPLENDID,
DECLARES BICAMIST
DID HIS BEST WOOING IN SUITS
COSTING SIS. SAYS HE ON
LY EMULATES SOLOMON.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-"I've been
married eight times. Every one of my
wives is splendid. l love them all
my heart is constructed that way.
The Lord has been good to me-"
Those are the sentiments of one
Charles Hugh Wilson, called the
''most married man in the United
States" who is now being held on a
charge of bigamy.
Wilson, formerly a Y. M. C. A.
physical instructor, lacks an inch of
being five feet tall, but he has been
a whirlwind with the women. After
being brought from Waupun, Wis,
where he served eighteen months for
grand larceny, Wilson entertained
the officers and newspaper men with
a resume of his matrimonial philoso-
ply.
Temptations Too Great.
''The life of a travelling salesman
caused my DOWNFALL" declared Will
son. "No travelling man can lead a
normal life. Yes, the temptations are
great, as l found out; and you are
deprived of the comforts of real
home life.
GIVE always appealed to the best
in women by my wooing. That's why
I've been so successful. And the be-
lief that women fall for swell dress
ers is a joke. It's important to be
neat, and I always was; but did all
my wooing in clothes that cost me

any wooing since the price of clothes

and that she was at liberty to go as
far as she liked in prosecution. But
all she wanted me to do was get
some of her furniture out of storage
which | did, and we went on living
together"
Says He Followed Solomon.
To the reporters present Wilson
said: Don't throw any mud at my
eight wives. They are all good Chris
tian women and loved them all I've
been good to my wives, too.
Judge Wadjams wanted to know
why Wilson had married as otter
when one wife is usually sufficient
for the average man.
81 am a great student of the Bi
ble," replied Wilson, "and 1 like tc
follow its teachings. King Solomon
had a thousand wives, so l thought
] it would not be anything out of the
! way if I had a few"
The judge looked at the diminutive
figure thoughtfully.

SAYS JOHN BULL is A
HIGHWAYMkN IN EGYPT
Folk Alleges That the Peace Treaty
Proposes to 0. K. the Seizure
Of That Country.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Likening
Great Britain's legal position in
Egypt to that of highwayman, Jo-
seph w. Folk, counsel Off the Egyp-
tian peace delegation, told the senate
foreign relations committee today
that the Versailles treaty proposed
to validate the robbery of Egyptian
independence"
Having occupied Egypt under the
pretext of protecting Egyptians from
rebels, Mr.. Folk said, Great Britain
in 1914 "seized the Egyptian govern
ment and now proposed under the
treaty to reduce her to a subject ma
ton"
The treaty, he said, would make
Egypt's grievance against Great Brit
ain an international question so that
it could not be dealt with by the
league of nations.
Great Britain had pledged, Mr..
Folk said, that her occupation of
Egypt would be temporary and he
asked that a clause be written into
the treaty giving Egypt the right to
appeal to the league council. Repubi-
can members of the committee sug-
gested, however, that the league was
to be controlled by the same powers
as made the treaty and that Great
Britain's right in Egypt already had
been recognized formally by the
American state department.

PRESIDENT ON NATIONWIDE
TOUR FOR LEAGUE PACT

has broken that the delay in ratify-
ing the treaty is responsible for the
conditions now prevailing in the
United States.
While the great mass of American
people may not be interested in Eu-
ropean adjustments the president be-
lieves that he can link the delay in
the treaty ratification with vital
problems at home in such a manner
that the people will become more
interested in the controversy and
take steps to end the fight.
Doctrine of Optimism.
In his early speeches the president
has been preaching the doctrine OF
optimism. Although he has admitted
that the general situation may not
be bright he has proclaimed an abid-
ing faith in the good judgment of
the majority of American people. He
has been telling his audiences that
he is confident that the people are
capable of meeting and dealing sue
cessfully with the problems that are
facing them.
The presidents tour will carry him
into many hostile states. His first
speech was made in the home state
of Senator Warren G. Harding, v
not only voted for the Shantung
amendment, but also is another pres
idential aspirant. His next speech
was made in Indianapolis, Ind, the
home state Of Senators New and
Watson, both opponents to the
league, unless amended. His next
stop was in st. Louis, the home of
Senator Spencer, another republican
opponent. In Missouri he invaded
the home city of Senator Reed,
democrat, who is hostile to the trea-
ty.
In Hostile Territory.
In his swing from Missouri into
Iowa, Nebraska, North and South Da-
kota. Minnesota and Montana the
president will visit states where con-
siderable hostility to the treaty has
been manifest by the senators. The
chief executive will spend nearly
three days in the state of Washing
ton, the home of Senator PoindeXter,
another opponent. After a long stop
in California, the home of Senator
Hiram Johnson, the president will re-
turn east by way of Salt Lake City,
Utah. Senator Smoot, who recently
announced that the teachings of the
Mormon church were violated by
some of the provisions of the league
of nations, is a native of Utah. The
president will speak in the Mormon
tabernacle
The president is not alone striking
at the republicans in his fight for the
peace treaty. This is shown in his
itinerary, which includes Oklahoma,
where Senator Gore, a democrat, has
denounced the treaty Senator
Shields, democrat, of Tennessee, re-
Gently announced his opposition to
the league of nations covenant. The
president has added Memphis, Tenn,
to his list and will speak in Senator
Shields home state.
Large crowds are greeting the
president and his party everywhere
they stop. In Columbus, Ohio, his
first stop, 1000 people heard him.
