That the readers of the Western

from farmers in various parts of the
county. All wheat is good but

J. G. Hixson had just north of the

heavier than the west end. Mr.. Hix-

| oats from 81 acres.
Ernest Mussemann and sons, three

where the crop was damaged by hail.

GRASSHOPPERS

According to reports it seems that
the hoppers did not do very much
damage to the wheat before harvest
this year, as they did last year Prob
ably this is due not so mnch to a de-

the hoppers were latter in Matching.

securities and two gold watches, he
left Mr.. Brady a note calling him a
"piker" for leaving such a small

You wouldn't, but here's the story:
The son of a kindly woman who
lives ''out in Northeast, is resident
of Chicago, but she never forgets
her boys birthday. She made his
pickles, sweet, dill and sour.
The mother packed them carefully
in a wooden box, and took them to a
grocer friend, Lloyd F. Cochran,
avenue. She asked that he ship tham
for her. He obliged.
Mr.. Cochran placed the box on a
showcase and turned back to a bust
ness conversation with James P. Fig
gins, salesman for Wilson & CO.
by the way, will you ship that
box for me on your way in?" Coch-
ran asked Higgins. you will? Fine"
To err is human and the grocery
boy was human. He put the box in
a, second car in front of the. store,
for the National Candy company, who
also was transacting business with
Mr.. Cochran.

There is no reason why Georgia,
once her advantages are shown to
the people of the United States,
cannot bring new residents to cult

enormous acreage of waste land"
said Mr.. Simmons. "She has every
| thing to offer that California has,
and many features which California
has not.
1.-The great Importance to the state
of the Advertise Georgia Enterprise,
in my opinion, lies in the fact that
it will be principally directed at
bringing new farmers rather than
new citizens for the towns and
cities. 1t will go a long way toward
counteracting the disproportionate
growth of the cities, which have
gained at the expense of the farm
ing sections. Some of Georgia's ru
raj counties have actually shown a
heavy loss in population in the last
ten years. This has reduced farm
production, at time wnen. greater
production was needed. The pros.
perity of the state and of the coun-
try depends upon a large and pros

Commenting on Mr.. Taft's recent
article which said that Governor
Cox's "indisposition to maintain or

known to local union leaders and ex-
plains his popularity with them,"
Governor Cox made the following
statement:
"It has been apparent for some
time that Judge Taft's newspaper ar

reflections of mature statesman,
have been turned into a cheap po-
1itical propaganda. He ought to be

his absurd accusation. have no OBJ

cannot but look with regret upon the
ease with which reactionary pol1tl-
clans still make use of him."
Application of the League OF Ma

was stressed by Governor Cox in ad-
dresses at Mesa and Temple.
Governor Cox promised that when
