Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

Atlanta, Ga.--(Special)- Tens OF
thousands of farmers in the South
will face the problem of making cot
| ton under heavy weevil inSstation
| for the first time in 1920. Their sue
cess or failure under these new con-
| dltiOns will be absolutely dependent
on the degree that there is food, grain
and forage produced on their farms
this year" said H G. Hastings, presi-
dent of both the Georgia Chamber OF
/ Commerce and the Southeastern Fair.
"A few weeks ago the newspapers
carried the report that an Alabama
county was preparing to erect
monument TO the boil Weevil, because
OF the good the weevil had done them
in forcing them out of the 'allcotton'
poverty producing rut, into the pros
peTlty that always follows a diversity
of crops and the production on home
acres Of every pound possible OF food,
grain and forage supplies needed by
| the family and Ii stock.
Our good people here in the South
have never, until very recently, taken
the home or family vegetable garden
seriously as a source of food supply.
1t has been looked on strictly as a
/ side issue, something of little impor-
lance, something to be attended to the
last thing on the place. The home
garden, rightly handled, can be made
to produce half the food needed by
the family and practically without
money cost
THE average lick and promise sort
OF garden has little value. To be
of real value the garden must be plan
ned for, really prepared for, planted
right and kept cultivated through the
season, and cultivated whenever need
ed. That kind of a garden will keep
its owners table we'll supplied with
an abundance of healthful food seven
or eight months in the year, as well
as furnishing an abundance of canned
aud dried vegetables for winter use.
Every mess of vegetables direct
from garden to table, every can or jar
Of home canned vegetables from clos
ct shelves, makes a hole in that store
bill that is always a terror when set
Ting time comes.
Good home gardens have been real
life savers to thousands of southern
farmers who have gone flat broke
trying to meet store. bills. A good
garden will cut the store bill until its
size is negligible. Give the garden a
talr chance and a square deal in 1920
and the result will be agreeably sur
prising."

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
. DRINK HOT TEA

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of
boiling water upon it, pour through a
sieve and drink teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
1t is the most effective way to break
4 cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus breaking
up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
4 cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

FIGHT IN PULLMAN CAR
CAUSES five ARRESTS
Trouble Starts in Diner When Pas

BALTIMORE, Feb. 25.-As n result
OF an argument between two white
men and ive negro Pullman porters
and walters regarding the propriety
of the negroes eating in a dining car
OF the Pennsylvania railroad as II
passed through Union Station yester-
day. the negroes, who claim New
York as their home, will be tried by
Justice Johannsen in Central police
court today on charge of disorderly
conduct.
The five men were taken OF the
train at Philadelphia by railroad po-
lice and were brought to Baltimore
last night
The two white men, according to
railroad police, were passengers on 4
train bound from Washington to New
York. They entered the dining car
as the train was passing through
Union Station in this city.
They found Jefferson eating and
the other four negroes making prepa-
rations to eat. The white men OBJ
jected and a squabble resulted. The
white men reported the occurrence to
the white conductor of the train and
the arrest of the negroes followed.

Today we have more ships than
ever before in our history. Trade
opportunities await, far beyond any
thing we had In the pre-civil war
period, when American ships sailed
tina seven seas. What are we going
TO do with our ships and our oppor-

This Is not a question upon which
political parties should take sides. The
whole nation should be interested in
evolving a plan which will make our
flag a familiar sight in every port
OF the globe. and give to America
the shipping supremacy we once en-
joyed. People in the interior of the

seen an ocean-going ship, should be
as much interested in the develop.

American-owned and American
manned bottoms as are those who
live in the coast States within the
