How We Made Good
Money Last Year

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special)- The gen
crafty of Southern farmers made real
money out OF their farming operations
III 1919, more profit than most of them
ever made before, despite boil weeyil,
untavorable seasons and labor short
age"
This statement was made recently
by H. G. Hastings, president of both
the Southeastern Fair Association and
the Georgia State Chamber of Com
merce, in discussing general farm
conditions in the South.
Very naturally most of this farm
prosperity lis credited to the high
price of cotton and, of course. the high
price helped, but the real down-at-the-
bottom reason was that most farmers
owned their cotton when it was made
instead of owing it for food and
gram bought on credit, as used to be
the case when the practice was to grow
all or nearly all cotton and buy on
credit all or nearly all food, grain. etc.
present farm prosperity is due
largely to what Dr. Bradford Knapp
head OF the demonstration work. has
so aptly termed Safe Farming which
is nothing more or less than growing
on home acres every pound of food
| grain and forage needed for family
ana live stock use. When this is done
every other available acre can wisely
! ana safely be put in cotton or other
/ cash crop.
! The expense of making cotton or
| other cash crop is, either directly or
| indirectly, the cost of food for man
and beast that works the crop. Most
items OF food and grain can he nro-
duced on southern farms at one.third
to one-half what those same items
cost from supply merchants.
We made money last year by fol.
lowing the only way that insures nar.
manent farm prosperity, home pro,

BRYAN REVIEWS

Resistance To Dry

ROME, Ga, Jan. 24.-In a stirring
address delivered here in the interest

ed the alarm to the friends of prohi-
bitiOn throughout the nation to be on
their guard to block what he charac-
terized as the very open movement
to return to the legalized saloon.
THE friends of prohibition had
better be on their guard" declared
Mr.. Bryan, "and this applies with es-
pecial force to the democratic friends
of the prohibition movement. The
boom for Governor Edwards, of New
Jersey, for president, is one of the
best illustrations of the necessity for
law enforcement Governor Edwards
had promised if he were elected to
make New Jersey as wet as the At
lantic ocean, and this presidential
boom of his is the most pronounced
evidence we have had of the obstinate
resistance to constitutional amend
ment ratified by 46 states.
"If the governor Of a state is bold
enough to enter the presidential list
in opposition to a triumph of ma
tional conscience he must think there
is a very large opposition to prohibi-
ton and the friends of prohibition
must not slacken their efforts since
Governor Edwards effort is designed

WANT 10 SELL GROTON SHIP YARDS

Frederick Conlon and P. Leroy Harwood of New London, receivers of the Groton Iron Works, have filed an application in the superior court for an order authorizing the sale of the Groton and Noank yards of the Groton Iron works. The Noank yard, they say should be sold at the earliest possible opportunity, but the Groton yard in the months of June or July, 1920, at about the time the work in this yard will have been completed will not interfere or prejudice the collection of claims against the Unit ed States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation.
 Six steel ships Of $500 tons dead weight have been built at the Groton yard under one contract and delivered. On another contract for six steel ships of 9,400 tons dead weight, three will be ready for delivery before the end of June, 1920, but the contract on the other three was cancelled by the U. S. Shipping Board Emergency Fleet corporation. No work except minor jobs and the completion and launching of one wooden vessel has been done at Noank yard by the re- ceivers.

Careless Shampooing
 Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkalt This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
 The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich creamy father, which rinses out cas- fly, removing every particle of dust dirt, dandrun and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and il leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage
 You can get Mulsified cocoanut oi shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months
