DEMONSTRATION WEEK
FOR MAJESTIC RANGE

A great many women who are nat
urally fine cooks, never really accom-
plish quality baking, because they do
not have the advantage of a COM
pletely alright oven. During the
week beginning Monday, October 81,
visiting demonstration of the fam
Gus Great Majestic Range will be at
The Busbee Hardware Store. This
range is riveted in all its parts, so
that no heat escapes from the oven.
The baking results are wonderful,
and with saving of fuel besides. Also
a gift of fine cooking ware, COM
plete set, goes with each Majestic
Range sold during Demonstration
Week. The price of the range will
he the same as always-no charge
for the set of cooking ware.

following statement outlining the pur-
pose of the commission:
when the call came to help save,
promote and secure democracy in Eu-
rope there came a louder call to help
save, promote and secure evangelical
Christianity in Europe. That Whlch
alone will now preserve and perfect
the democracy for which brave men
have died on the battlefield of Europe
is the Christianity of the New Tesla
ment Southern Baptists can not long
er profess New Testament Christian
ity and decline a challenge like that
which is now presented to them to
bear witness to their faith among the
peoples of Europe. Our people never
before faced such a challenge and such
a responsibility.
OF course we can not go to the men
and women of Europe who have been
stripped of earthly fortune and reduced
to direst necessity with a message OF
Christian love and brotherhood if we
decline in our abundance to carry
some substantial pledge of our love
and compassion. Mothers will not be
able to stay the crying of their little
ores to hear us preach if we decline
to practice the gospel or compassion
and feed these little ones and build
fires at which they can during the COM
ing winter warm their frosted toes.
Southern Baptists are under the most
solemn obligation to help relieve the
want and suffering of Europe But If
there were no reconstruction work in
Europe, Southern Baptisrs nave mo-
tiyes numerous enough and strong
enough to compel them to make COM
plete success of the Baptist rs Mil
lion Campaign. l would therefore, as
my parting word to my brothers and
sisters of the South, implore them to
give themselves to this campaign and
carry it to a triumphant conclusion

DON'T WORRY ABOUT SUGAR.

Don't worry about sugar. Prepare
to get along without it. Set to work
to find a substitute. Consider your
self fortunate htat you live in the
land of sugar cane where something
close kin to sugar can be had plentl-
fully.
There may be a sufficient quantity
Of sugar on the market later on, and
there may not. It looks as if those
who have the sugar have decided to
profiteer, and when the price is put
up sufficiently high they will probably
begin turning it loose. In the mean
time we can make our own sugar here
in south Georgia, and make it cheaper
than we will be able to buy from the
usual sources of supply.
One thing that has done more than
anything else to boost prices and run
up the high cost of living is the dis
position on the part of consumers to
buy at any price, and to buy heavily
Just as soon as there are prospects of
shortage in some line or evidences
of an approaching increase in price.
This helps those who are profiteering.
1t creates demand that causes them
to laugh in their sleeves. When the
"self- providers at any cost" get
through buying, such inroads have
been made on stocks that it is pos
sible to hold the remainder until those
who stand out against profteering are
forced to buy.
1t can be depended on that a large
number of people will buy sugar and
hoard it, whatever the price may be,
and those who do not wish to be vic
timized will do well to make plans for
using syrup, home made sugar, or
some other Observation-Disclosures OBJ
