ing as to Procedure.-Fur-
nishing Lights at Lowest Rate
Company Says.

lat recent session of the Georgia
Railroad Commission the Mutual
Light & Water Company, of this city,
was ordered to reduce its electric light
rates 2 cents per kilowatt hour on the
first SO kilowatt hours; cent on the
second so kilowatt hours, and / cent
on the next 300 kilowatt hours and
straight reduction of cent per kiio-
watt hour was ordered in the power
rates.
In statement Manager Lisman
says the company is at present serv-
ing its patrons electricity at the low
est possible figure and the fact that
gas rates are lower here than other
cities and towns in the state was re-
ferred to. The cut in the price of gas
was made voluntarily when the COM
pany made an arrangement by which
1t could. be furnished with gas at a
figure which enabled the rate to be
cut, but on the electricity there is no
possible way, it is stated, to furnish
at lower rate than that which pre-
walls at present and not lose money.
All legal rights will be protected,
and, in the meantime. the company's
attorneys are considering just what

Local Club Defeats Forest City
Shooters in Close and Ex-
citing Contest.
VASSA CATE LEADS LOCALS
WITH FORTY-EIGHT BIRDS.
Strong Wind Handicapped the
Shooters and While Some of
the Crack Shots SIumped
Considerably, Others Made
Good Scores.

In close and exciting contest yes
terday, the Brunswick Gun Club de-
feated the Forest City Gun Club in
Savannah by the close score of seven,
each club shooting 500 birds. This
makes the second defeat of the Savan-
nahians at the hands of the local
shooters.
The match was shot at the Forest
City Gun Club grounds, a strong wind
blowing throughout the contest, but
despite this handicap some good scores
were made, while some of the crack
shots of both teams showed decided
slump In their scores.
The two high guns of the shoot
were Vessa Cate, of Brunswick, and
w. F. Balfour, of Savannah, each
breaking forty-eight out of a possible
fifty. T. w. Mallard, of Brunswick
came second with forty-seven breaks.
The contest, which was witnessed
by large crowd of spectators, was
extremely close all the way through
and the result was in doubt until the
last man had his time at the trap. 1t
was considered one of the closest con-
tests ever shot in the state. The re-
suit finalyl showed that the Brunswick
first team had defeated the Savannah
first team by the narrow margin of
two birds, while the Brunswick Sec
ond team defeated the Savannah team
by five birds, making total of seven.

1t is Expected That Attendance
Will be Large and Session
interesting One.
SESSION WILL BE HELD In
ROOMS OF BOARD OF TRADE
Feature of Gathering Will be In
itial Steps in Forming an Az
ricultural Association-Many
lntert sting Suggestions Will
be Made and Results Sure.

The agricultural meeting called by
the Brunswick Board of Trade for
this afternoon at o'clock, promises
to assemble practically all the farm
ers of Glynn county with likelihood
that many visiting agriculturalis.s aud
stock raisers will be present.
The prime object of the meeting is
the taking of initial steps in organiza-
tion of an agricultural association, the
benefits of which would be manifold
i not only as to just what and when to
plant, but concerted action in market
ing everything raised in this and other
nearby counties.
There will be a number present ex.
perienced in farming, stock raising
and poultry breeding and a nutuber OF
these will offer suggestions which VII
be we'll worth hearing. 1t should be un-
derstood that merchants, professional
men and others are also invitt.l TO the
meeting as the cooperation of these
is almost necessary and what Will
help one will help the other
In the call for the meeting the
Board of Trade, among other things,
says:
There is a general movement in
the counties of South Georgia toward
cooperative methods among rhe farm.
ers for handling and disposng of tn cir
products. This movement seems to
have been very successful in q mum
ber of counties, and good pric as have
been obtained through shipping pool
cars, etc.
"The Board of Trade is very anxious
to assist the farmers in anw way posi-
BILE toward improved methods and it
has been thought advisable to t.all a
meeting for Friday. June 18th, at o2
p. m, in the Board of Trade rooms at
the Oglethorpe hotel, of all who are in
terested, to discuss the qadvisability of
forming some sort of a. cooperative
association among the farmers.
"This association can cover a very
wide field, and among other subject )
which we would like to discuss are
the following: Farm loans, co-operas
tive selling; methods of growing and
handling; potato curing warehouses,
and any other subjects which Nigh. be
of interest.
"The present methods of disposiag
of farm products in Glynn county
seems to be very inadequate, aud if
progress is to be made toward develop
ing: our county, improved method, Of
handling and disposing of our Ere.
ducts must be inaugrrated.
"This is matter of such vital i'm
portance to the county that We trust
you will use every endeavor to attend
the meeting, and give us the benefit of
your experience and advice"

Eyes of All Europe Now Directed
on international Conference
Ks at The Hague.
RE-ENTRY OF RUSSIA
INTO CONCERT OF NATIONS
Representatives of All Countries
of Europe, Except Russia, As
sembIe in Peace Palace for
conference-England, France
and Italy May Harmonize.
(By Associated Press.)

The Hague, June 15-All Europe
conferred its hopes today in the open
ing of the International conference
which is dedicated to the task OF max
entry of Russia into the concert of ma
tions.
The temporary failure of the confer
ence at Paris to negotiate league
for the restoration of Germany has
undoubtedly served to augment the
pessimism obtaining in many coun-
tries concerning the prospects Of max
ing definite agreements with commun-
istic Russia on such vital matters as
credits, the treatment to be accorded
to property held by foreigners, and
the payment of the Russian debts.
Nevertheless, determination was ev-
ident among the delegates gathered
here for the preliminary meetings to
max every conceivable effort to reach
the results which the Genoa confer
ence did not succeed in achieving.
Delegates Ready for Work.
Representatives of the principal
countries, excepting Russia, were
scheduled to assemble in the Peace
Palace at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon,
and there begin their labors Of study
ing the program which will be pre-
sented to the Russian delegation at
the joint meetings to open on June 26.
Although Holland disclaims any in
tention or desire of directing the con-
ference, Foreign Minister Van Karne-
heck will deliver the opening address
as a temporary president, welcoming
the delegates to the Netherlands, and
voicing Hollands sincere wishes for
the success of the conference.
Harmony is Sought.
Chief interest centers in the har-
monization of the attitudes Of Eng
land, France and Italy on how to ap-
proach the soviet delegation officially,
for France shows disposition to hold
tenaciously to her Genoa demand for
suitable guarantees from the Bolshe-
Wiki before undertaking any new rela-
tions with Russia. ri,

MORE ACRES OF RED CLOVER
WOULD HELP REBUILD SOILS

it should have a more important

for business reasons you are in need
of cash, the certificates can be re-
deemed at the treasury department
at their original cost, plus interest

per cent per annum, compounded
emi-annually.
The average citizen has for many
years looked with horror upon the
extravaganza of our national, state
or county governments, but they
never seemed to stop and think that
governments are only rejecting the
spirit of the individuals that go to
make them up. Whenever the Amer
lean people really begin to practice
thrift in their every day lives, then
they will insist on having that sort
of a government. As it is today,
the federal government is really tax
ing the lead in the practice of all
thrift. President Harding is insist
ing on policy of strictest econ
omy in government expenditures,
and he is being backed up to the
limit by the Bureau of the Budget
and the house and senate committees
on appropriations.
Unfortunately, America still is
looked upon as a spendthrift ma
ton. Many good citizens do not en-
joy the reputation of being thrifty.
On the other hand, there are, Of
course, many who are steadily go
ing ahead But the big majority
continue to operate in a hand-to-
mouth fashion, spending today what
they make today, or perhaps what
they expect to make tomorrow.
Thrift means getting ready for the
inevitable rainy day by saving mon
ey to use and using it. Don't hide
your savings; invest them. The
governments unified savings system
provides a safe and profitable way.

PROSPERITY JUST

America will be as prosperous as
you as an individual help to make
it. There can be no complete res
toration of prosperity until the
worlds store Of working capital has
been re-established. The nation has
no wealth other than that owned by
the citizens. Saving is not an end
in itself. 1t is of permanent value
to the individual and to the nation
only when it is followed by the in
vestment of the sums saved in use.

Out in Gloucester, Ohio, the other

chases four of the new issue $1,000

lie brought the money to the post
office and in the conversation that
ensued was informed that. he had
been keeping this money in his home
and carrying it on his person dur
ing all these years."
Within the next five years this
investment will yield the Ohio man
interest to the amount of $500.
Every dollar that you may have
hoarded is only serving to retard
prosperity. The time has come for
the mobilization of the idle dollars
OF the United States. These slack
er dollars will start the wheels of
industry moving, and will provide
work for the nations great army of
idle men.
New capital must be provided be-
fore the country can enter a new
era of prosperity. This capital can
be provided for the revival of in
dustry only through the savings of
the people.
1t is high time to Danish financial
hysterla and industrial anemia from
this broad land. We have the rich
est country on the face of the
earthj the nations finances are
sound and its credit is the best in
the world. 1t is the patriotic duty
OF every good American to get back
OF the governments unified savings
program and make the movement a
success.
Through the ordination of DOS
tai savings and treasury savings
certificates the government has pro-
vided safe, attractive and profit
able means of providing employment
for your savings. Postal savings
stamps may be purchased. for 10

may be seeded any time between
now and April 1.
The 1920 census shows that one
acre Of red clover is grown to every
100 acres of improved Kentucky
land, or about two-ffths of an acre
farm. More than twice this acre
age is sown with timothy, but alto
gether there is an average of only
little more than one acre for each
farm.
Counties such as Christian and
Warren, where limestone has been
used, rank amonk the leading ones
in clover acreage. In contrast to
clover alone, a large part of the
clover and timothy mixed is found
in the blue grass.
In most cases, timothy and clo-
yer seeded together will give better
results than clover alone. On land
that has not been lined, it often
happens that the mixture will prove
to be mostly timothy. Where lime
stone has been used, the reverse will
likely be true and the first crop will
be mostly clover. If left for Sec
ond year, the timothy will develop.
Red clover will not prove a sue
cess over any large area of the
state until limestone has been used
first, according to the specialists.
The farmer who wastes his seed for
two seasons by sowing without lime
stone has wasted enough to pay for
an application of stone, they say.
On the average, however, it will not
be practical to lime more than ten
per cent of the land any one season.
Farmers who do not wish to lime
have been advised to grow alsike in
stead of red clover.

REAL DEFINITION OF THRIFT

Do you really understand lust
what thrift means? Many people do
not. Too many consider the word
as synonym for boarding or for
stinginess. 1t means nothing of the
kind. To practice thrift does not
mean that you must put paddock
on your pocketbook.
The Joplin (Mo.) Globe hits The
nail squarely on the head when it
says: "If you can buy a city lot for
5000 that is really worth 800 more,
and if you have the 5000 available,
it is plain that it wouldn't be thrift
to refuse to make the investment
And if you can buy an overcoat for
$50 that will cost you $25 or $50
next fall, when you are going to
have to have one, it would be un-
thrifty not to make the invest
ment."
Thrift means taking advantage
OF money-maklng propositions. But
it also means refraining from those
useless expenditures that keep your
pocketbook so thin you cannot make
investments when they are offered.
One Of the best methods Of prac-
ticing thrift is to keep your dollars
everlastingly on the job. When you
invest your money in the new issue
treasury savings certificates your
money is yielding a good rate Of
interest. vet in case of emeroencv or
