Half Your E-8ving
Without Money Cost

We are all at a danger point. On
the use of good common sense in our
1919 farm and garden operations, de-
ponds prosperity or our going broke"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all COZ .on, buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit, and make
money. Food and grain are higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to furnish nearly half your liY'
ing. 1t will save you more money
than you made on the best two or
three acres of cotton you ever grew!
Hastings 1919 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of money saw
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. 1t tells about the farm crops as
well and shows you the clear road to
real and regular farm prosperity. It's

RAILWAY OWNERSHIP
BY U. S. Is OPPOSED
SHIPPERS OF SOUTH AT MEET
ING DECLARE FOR RETURN
OF ALL LINES TO OWNERS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Almost without
discussion large number of shippers
from all parts of the southern states,
who met in a conference here, unan-
imously agreed that they would not
support government ownership of
railroads, but would advocate that
they be turned back to private own
ers within twenty-one months after
the war is over, as the government
law now requires.
The shippers were called together
by committee of the Southern Traf-
fic League to discuss the question of
government ownership of railroads
and expressions of individual opin-
ions at the meeting indicated that
the shippers, as a whole, strongly OPP
posed government ownership.
Oppose U. S. Ownership.
The shippers planned to protest
against government ownership by APP
pointing an executive committee to
work out the details. This commit
tee will formulate plans for the or
ganization, and also appoint small
er committee from the southern ship
pers to appear before the congress
sional committee on interstate and
foreign commerce in Washington in
the interest of southern shippers.
The following principles on which
the organization was founded were
adopted:
1. Opposition to government own
ership of railroads.
2. Opposition to any extension of
federal operation of railroads as is
now prescribed by law.
8. Favoring return of all railroads
to private owners without govern
ment control as soon as practicable
4. Favoring such movements as
may have developed during the time
the railroads were under federal con-
troll to the extent that the service is
improved for the good of the public
at large.
5. Opposition to any guarantees by
the government of any specific re
turns.

ADMINISTRATION is ENG MADE.

service was somewhat reduced under
the ordinary party to party service, in
order to further induce its adoption.
Though it has been a failure in this
state under the reduced rate attrac-
ton; under the new departmental or
der that same class of service is to
become fixed one and the rate will
work out about the same as the rate
for the present party to party service
in most instances.
Information is that in a good many
states official investigation is being
made, or is to be made, of the post
master generals bulletin, and the
probability is that protest will be
made, with view to bringing the ex-
act proposed condition before the
public before the first of next March
Comparison or criticisms by the tele-
phone officials of the country, how
ever, are said to be effectively shut
off by the fact that they are federal
employees and, for that reason, are
not permitted to make examination,
draw comparisons and find faults with
the orders of the superior officer.
J. Prince Webster, rate expert of
the state railroad commission, has
made an analysis of the long dis
lance telephone rates in Georgia,
under the rates being now charged
and those to be charged under Post
master General Burleson's order,
and announced on Friday that all
long distance rates would be increas-
ed instaed of being reduced
Contrary to statements which have
been given out by Washington, D.
c., officials that orders contained in
the bulletin would cut toll rates it has
been disclosed by Mr.. Webster that
in Georgia the rate will be greatly
increased

ONE-ARM MAN KILLS
FIVE And SUICIDES
SHOOTS WITH SHOTGUN-USES
BIG TOE TO PULL TRIGGER
WHEN SHOOTS SELF.

OMAHA, Neb.-William Barnes,
an insurance agent, having only one
arm, murdered five persons and COM
mitted suicide with a shotgun Friday
night, it was discovered today when
the bodies were found in Wilbur
Johnson's farm house on Holman's
Island in the Missouri river, near
Little Sioux, Iowa. He was angry
because Johnson's daughter refused
to leave home a second time with
him.
johnson, his wife and their young
son, as we'll as their daughter, Mrs.
Mabel Jones and her child, were slain.
Barnes, 45 years old, was infat-
uated with Mrs. Jones and his atten-
tions to her were strongly discourag-
ed by her parents, but she went with
him to Kansas City and later to
Dakota, taking her baby with her.
When she left Barnes and returned
to her parents a short time ago
Barnes followed her home, where he
was refused admittance.
Officials learned today that Barnes
went to the Johnson farm Friday
night before Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson
and their son had retired. He fired
two shots through a window, killing
Mr., and Mrs. Johnson outright. He
then reloaded the gun, entered the
house and shot the little boy.
Barnes then proceeded to the bed
room of Mrs. Jones, who with her
baby had retired He fired two
charges at Mrs. Jones, while single
shot took the baby's life.
The assassin then returned to. the
kitchen, where he sat down in a chair
loaded the gun and removed one of
his shoes. He tied string to the
trigger of the shot gun and to his
bgi toe and pulled the trigger. His
body was found sitting in the chair.

THAT Postmaster General Burle-
sons telephone rate order,
which goes into effect January 81,
known as Bulletin %, will not pan

was announced early in December as
planned by the opstoffice department
is a declaration now being made by
qualified officials who have been

Their claim, in pretty nearly unvar-

about to be "stung." The schedule

very considerable increase in the cost
Of using the telephone instead of
making reductions, and one instance
cited is this: where long distance
call is now made by party in one
town for a party in another town
and the central office reports that the
called party is not available that is
not considered completed call, and
no charge for service is made, the
required service not having been rem

of reporting inability to get the par

At the present time call may be put

in Atlanta at II o'clock and the At
lanta party is so notified. Until the
talking is done there has been no
service performed, and no charge
is made. Under the new order that is
termed appointment service" and
when the conversation takes place
the rate is a much higher one. For
instance, the rate now would be, say
81 for three minutes, Whereas, under
the new order, that rate for zap
