WORLD WAR VETERANS
TO ATTEND DAIRY SHOW!

That the Importance of the Nation
al Dairy Exposition in pointing the
way to better farming with regular
revenue periods has been learned by
World War veterans .,colinizing at
Veteransville, Minnesota, is evidenced
in a letter received by Col. ". E.
Skinner, general manager of the
Dairy Exposition, from E. A. Lar
son, former agricultural agent from
Kanabec county. ..a ~: ..-"-r..
. Mr.. Larson advises that a large
delegation Of veterans will attend
the dairy exposition. at the Minnesota
State fair grounds in the Twin Cities
October z to IA, prepared to view. the
great dairy industry in its annual
national clinic and to gain .informa-
ton of value to them in their farm
ig operations at t.fVeteransville.
1t is probable, Mr.. Skinner believes
that these visitors will come ready
to make selections of .purebred breed
ing stock, both sires and dams, to
help raise the average standard of
the herds at home. Grades will
doubtless be in demand by these
uairymen..

U. S. FIRE Loss WOULD j
PAY OFF NATIONAL DEBT

Continued from Page II
Observation-Disclosures of the country.
The Individual Should also realize
that this loss naturally increases the
burden which he has to bear. Until
each citizen considers fire prevention
as a personal problem requiring his
own individual carefulness, the elm
ination of fire waste can never be
realized and this unnecessary ecoomic
loss will continue.
The present week, which has been
set aside by the President Of the
United States and many state gov
ernors to be observed as Fire Pre-
vention week, presents an excellent
opportunity for each citizen to
thoughtfully consider this subject
and to combine his efforts with those
of other good Americans to make
the reduction Of fire waste a reality.

Notice To Parties
Who Wish To Buv
Calcium Arsenate

There will be car of Calcium Ar
senate on the A. B. & A. siding park
ed near the depot all day Saturday.
May 9th where farmers can secure
calcium arsenate at actual cost which
is &c per pound Terms of sale cash.
Parties Can secure packages ranging
from rs, so 100, 200 pound lots. l
would advise all parties who are ex-
pecting to use calcium arsenate on
their cotton as a preventative against
the damage of the boil weevil to take
the advantage of this opportunity of
securing the calcium arsenate at low
price. There is no doubt but what
calcium arsenate can be used to a
great advantage when it is properly
used. This fact has been demonstrated
by few farmers in this county. One
in particular that l have in mind is
Mr.. S. A. Wright, who reports splen-
did results from the use of calcium
arsenate. l would further advise that
during the spring season, my services
are at your command. Will be glad to
supervise spraying for as many farm
ers as | possibly can. Let me know
when l can serve you. Yours very
truly, c. T. OWENS,
County Agent.

Atlanta Chamber Of
Commerce Backing
A. B. & A. Movement

MOULTRIE-The Atlanta Chamb-
er of Commerce is actively lending in
Its support to the movement by the
Association for State Ownership of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad, to save that line from the
possibility of being dismant1ed and
strapped.
Mr.. R. S. Baker, secretary of the
organization was among those in at
tendance at the meeting held in Moul-
trle on the 10th and was one of the
chief speakers on the program. Mr.
Baker was himself for many years in
the railroad business and was largely
instrumental in arousing the interest Of
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce in
the movement to prevent so valuable
an asset to the whole state as the A.
B. & A, is from being lost.
The first financial support given to-
the Association for State Ownership
of the A. B. & A. was given by the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the
organization leading off with con-
tribution of $1,000 at the same time
letting it be konwn that more would
be forthcoming if it was needed. The
friends of the movement here and else
where are deeply appreciative of the
support of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce which has a membership
of more than 1850 leading business
men of the capital city.

AshUiNe And Savannah Combine
To Fight Central Dixie Hghva1
Delegation From Macon and Other
Points Pass Through Here Enroute
to Meet At Jacksonville

The annual meeting of the Dixie
Highway Association at Jacksonville
Friday and Saturday has attracted
nationwide attention through the
efforts being made by the several
routes to secure concentrated action
on one of the thru routes for final
completion. Ashville, N. C. through
its Board of Trade has worked up a
strong delegation from Carolina for
the route via Savannah and Brunswick
ano their combined influence will be
in evidence at this meeting.
1t will be recalled that at the first
meeting at Jacksonville six years ago
their influence at Jacksonville was
very evident in favor of the Savannah
route and both of the dailies in the
Florida Metropolis had given the Sa-
vannah route its editorial support re-
fusiug to recognize the feasibility of
a good road being built thru the sand
deserts OF Charlton and Ware counties.
But these good people in those sparce-
ly settled counties of South Georgia
have proven their faith by their works
and today the roads through Ware
Charlton are hard surfaced and COM
plete the only finished route into Flor
ida. 1t is the only argument that
counts. complete and finished mileage.
We have it and in addition we have
the much shorter route, ESQ miles from
Macon to Jacksonville via Fitzgerald
as against $40 miles on the Eastern
route via Savannah and Brunswick or
55t miles via Americas and Thomas
vile to Jacksonville.

editor of the Macon Telegraph and
one of the directors for Georgia of the

ton for the Dixie Highway Associa-

facts to secure for the Central Route
the full and complete cooperation Of
the entire association in backing
THE CENTRAL ROUTE, and to
concentrate the Associations entire
influence behind the movement to
complete the route from Lansing,
