Popularity Of Rubber Heels.

Sixty per cent of the shoes manu-
fsctured In the United States today
are said to be equipped with rubber
heels. Shoes for men are more often
equipped with rubber heels than shoes
for women. 1t is estimated that 20
per cent Of the rubber heels manu-
factured are for men. The United
States census OF manufactures Of
1920, covering production during 1919,
showed that 275.S57,206 pairs Of
leather boots and shoes were manu-
factured by 1.449 establishments. This

HAD STORMY TIME
= in TAX MEETING
NO RATE WAS FIXED ON LAND
AT CONFERENCE CALLED
BY FULLBRIGHT.

The Cordele Dispatch prints the fol-
lowing account of the recent meeting
of tax officials of = number of coun-
ties in this section of the state called
by State Tax Commissioner H. ].
Fullbright to consider the values at
which farm lands and other property
should be returned for taxation this
year:
Estate Tax Commissioner Henry ].
Fullbright had a stormy time of it
trying to equaliZe taxes in seventeen
counties in this section of the state at
a meeting in Americas, of which
Judge ]. A. LANG, of Dawson, was
chairman and c. O. Perry, of Cordele,
was secretary.
"A Clay county representative nam
ed Weaver, who apparently had war
in mind, tore up the whole program
by claiming that Clay county lands
in no manner came up to the general
average in the other counties. He said
he had six hundred acres he wanted
to give away, but he went off home
still owner of the land
THE meeting broke up in a big
row. Commissioner N. F. Tiff, of AL
bany, took this Clay county claim of
cheap lands to task and peppered it
good, And while the pepper was fly
ing the meeting adjourned. In the
meantime Commissioner Fullbright,
who had come to fix rate on the
lands in the seventeen counties, had
left the room and was looking for his
train to get out of town right away.
Nothing was accomplished.
The seventeen counties which Mr..
Fullbright undertook to handle in the
meeting are Clay, Crisp, Dooly,
Dougherty, Lee, Macon, Marion,
Randolph, Schley, Stewart, Sumter,
Taylor, Terrell and Webster. { The
other three counties in the group,
Chattahoochee, Houston and Quitman,
were not represented in the meeting.
The other fourteen had large delega-
tons, and some of them were quite
stormy in disposition-hard to handle
in their ideas of what ought and what
ought not to be a tax rate.

Drugs Excite
the Kidneys,
Drink Water
Take Salts at First Sign of
Bladder Irritation or
Backache

The American men and women must
guard constantly against kidney trouble
because we often eat too much rich food.
Our blood is filled with acids which the
kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken
from overwork, become sluggish, the
eliminative tissues clog and the result
is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or if you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, begin drink
ing lots of good soft water and get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
lad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys may then
act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used for
wears to help flush and stimulate clogged
kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the
system so they no longer are a source
Of irritation, thus often relieving'blad-
der disorders. :.

neHective Methods of Controlling Boil Weeuil


teer plants appeared in the spring at
the rate of about 1000 per acre. An
investigation showed that the number
of such plants increases to the west
ward as the climate becomes drier.
Nevertheless, numbers of plants were
found near Memphis, Tenn, and
Vicksburg, Miss, in a region of more
than SO inches of annual precipitation.
Similar observations have been made
each season since 1906.
Weevil and Square Collection.
The possibility of weevil control by
hand picking of the adult in the early
spring and of the infested squares
later in the season has been thorough
ly tested on numerous occasions. I'm
doubtedly this method is efficient
when practiced with sufficient thor
oughness, but numerous attempts to
carry it out on practical scale have
shown that the labor difficulties are
almost always prohibitive. This work
is of value only comparatively early
in the season and thus falls at the
same period when there is a very
heavy demand for the labor for other
purposes, and it is generally impossi-
bic to collect the weevils or infested
squares without neglecting other more
important work. Consequently this
procedure can only be recommended
under rare conditions, when the in
festation is not excessively heavy and
when an abundance of cheap labor is
available.
Many attempts have been made to
collect the weevils by means of me-
chanical devices. Hundreds of such
devices have been tested and all are
to be condemned. They do not col
lect an appreciate number of wee
wills unless they are so violent in the
agitation of the cotton plant that they

WRIGHT WANTS TAX LAW
THAT'S FREE OF LOOPHOLES
State Has Many Lawsuits on Hand
Growing Out of Last Legislation.

Growing Out of Last Legislation.
A new general tax law, free from
loopholes, will be among the first
things presented to the Georgia leg
islature when it convenes in June, ac-
cording to announcement by Comp
troller General William A. Wright.
The state is now under several in
functions based on the last general tax
act, with little chance of any of them
being decided before the automatic
expiration of the act.
A life insurance company in Vir-
ginia was the latest to attack the act,
basing its action on the contention
that the present act does not author
.ize the state to collect tax from each
individual insurance agent, If the gen
asal agent has paid tax. Both the
attorney general and the comptroller
general assert the law was framed to
give such power.
The present general tax act was
passed in 1921. Comptroller Wright
wants the next general tax act so
clearly drawn that the best lawyers
cannot find a flaw in it.

From figures compiled by the &C,

Of Fire Underwriters and just made
public $13,917,087 worth OF property
was burned in this state during 1921.
To this total FIRE loss-which places

states-every man, woman and child
contributed an average of $3.50. al
though few probably realized it. This
is the sixth highest per capita fire
loss among the states. In 1913 the
destruction amounted to $3,978,625,
