HALF YOUR LIVING
WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Be Cut
in Half BY Food And Grain
Making And Saving

Atlanta, Georgia.-(S Especially High
prices for cotton, such as we had a
year ago cannot reasonably be expect
ed for a long time to come European
countries that normally use half our
crop are SO thoroughly disorganized
and paralyzed in a business way that
they will not be able to take the
usual quantities and pay high prices
for many years to come, said H. G..
Hastings, President of the great
Southeastern Fair.
This situation which we cannot
control. calls for lower costs of max
Ing cotton as well as reduction in cot
ton acreage. The quickest, safest
and most effective way to reduce cot
ton making cost is to produce on ones
own acres every pound of food, grain
and forage needed for family, tenants
and laborers and live stock
The situation requires chickens,
hogs, milk cows and acres of corn,
oats, wheat, forage and miscellane-
Gus crops from which to feed them.
Last, but not least. in Importance, is
the home vegetable garden which is

one of the old cuneiform tablets. The
words for "bow'' could very easily be
mistaken for ely brush" he said.
These huge feather brushes were in
vogue among the old rulers in Assyria
and Egypt, and were regarded as an
cient symbols of sovereignty in the
Orient
According to DIR. Haupt, 'sthe an
clients naturally gave their gods credit
for having fly brushes, and, in fact,
in line 164 of the flood tablet the words
fly brush" appears as big as life.
The passage says that "when Ishtar
sees the gods gather around the offer
ing like a swarm of flies because
there had been no offering during the
fiood) she is so incensed that she takes
the great fly brushes of her father,
Anu (king of the gods) to drive away

Educational Campaign

The Epworth League chapter, an or
ganization composed of 1881 young
people, between the ages of
sixteen and thirty, has lined up solidly
for the Christian education movement.
In securing the allegiance of Ep-
worth Leaguers throughout Southern
Methodist territory, the Christian edu-
cation movement has enlisted DOW
erful ally which practically assures
ultimate success in what leading
churchmen claim is the most compre-
hensive and far-reaching religious
program ever launched
Not only have Epworth Leaguers
promised to support the Christian
education movement, but a definite or
ganizatien for individual chapters with
reference to the Christian education
movement has been effected.
Beginning with March and contin
uing through May, minute men will
speak at every League service on the
several detectives of the Christian ed
ucatlon movement. Chapter commit
tees, college clubs, life service bands.
VIII all have their place in the organ
1zat1on of the League for the Chris
tan movement. In matters of finance
1T is expected that Leaguers acting in
thler capacity as loyal church mem
bers will do their full share; also that
stewardship and intercession cards
will be signed by all Leaguers as
church members.
As part of this organization. educa-
ton day will be observed by EpWorth
Leagues throughout the church with
a specially prepared program. Teams
of leaguers will express their LOYALTY
to the movement by assisting in all
forms of publicity and deputized tasks.

enc QUICKEST anu chc5pSsL source of
food in the world
Most folks here in the South don't
take the home garden seriously and
thereby make great mistake. There
are too many of the lick and q prom
ise' sort of gardens and mighty few
of the real sure enough kind.
I'VE have been told repeatedly ny
those who plan and prepare for a real
garden, plant it, tend it and keep it
replanted through the season, that it
furnishes half the family living at no
money cost except the small amount
spent for the seeds needed.
The garden is, or rather should be,
the earliest planted. 1t brings food
the quickest. 1t starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
is ready to use. A little later, half
or more needed for the table comes
out of the garden
II rightly tended and replanted 1t
supplies food all summer and fall the
surplus above daily needs goes into
cans or is dried for winter use. Yes,
the right kind of garden is a life
saver, and we all need a life-sayer OF
this kind in 1921"

When ordering a car for loading

Wet thoroughly the bedding and in
terror of car before loading.
Give only small feed of grain be-
fore shipping. Heavy feed means
more body heat generated.
Load not more than one hour before

Load slowly and carefully Avoid
excitement and do not beat or bruise
the animals
Load not to exceed $4,000 pounds fat
hogs and 10000 stock hogs in stand
