the big vote period, 10 o'clock Mon

Last Chance for Big Votes.

is positively your last chance TO en-.
ter subscriptions and secure h max
imum number of votes allowed for
each subscription. Ten o'clock. The
night of April 2 marks the end for
over of h extra special ballot OF
25. 900 votes given for each NEW sub
scription for n year or longer.
Never again after this time will 1t
be possible TO get the full voting
power on subscriptions. This Is fair
warming. II you entertain n desire
whatever of being declared the win
ner of ono OF these splendid motor
cars-to be awarded in just a few
weeks do not fail to turn in every
available subscription to your account
before the closing of the first period.
Not to do so Simply means that you
will have to increase your efforts dur
ing the remainder of the race to make
up for lost ground. a few long term
subscriptions NOW may be the very
ones needed to "cinch" the biggest OF
prizes; they could hardly help but win
one OF the larger awards.
The crucial test is now at hand II
you ever intend to DO anything BIG
in his race. DO lIaNoW. Instead OF
being in second. third. fourth. fifth.
sixth. seventh. eighth or ninth places
Tor further down on the list GET UP
AT THE TOP AND STAY there.
Now is the time to make reasonably
certain OF the prizes you most desire.
Remember. 5000 votes are allowed
on every ~six-year subscription these
last few days while when the second
period starts they take a Big decrease.
And after the close OF the second
period" there is still another big de
fin the number Of votes given
for such subscriptions.

production impossible. Boil weevi1 cut

will show cotton being produced and

Small Savings

WASHINGTON, March 2o-"If 7

IN the country" said Lew Wallace. Jr.
Director of the United States Govern
ment Savings System, 1T would en-
body the essence of all the wise ad-
vice OF the worlds sages on the sub
Ject OF saving, including that most
Tcessary advice to avoid the plausi-
Die, sleek, insinuating person with
something to sell which will make
cents grow INTO dollars as if by magic.
l would say to the people that any
financial proposition that must be
rushed through on the spur of the mo-
ment, that cannot stand inquiry and in
Vestlgation, can be set down as oues-
tlonable and unsafe
1t would seem that anybody. from
the cradle to the grave, has been
told over and over again the benefits
OF saving, but the advice cannot be,
repeated too often. The United States
government Savings System hopes to
orlng to every home the advantages
OF thrift, and to this end it has pro
n;ued a meaItS OF saving in Urea ,u,y
Savings ,'e.tir*-ts. They a-e secur
tues backed by fthe credit of the ma

the reach OF all and yielding a good
interest return. The Government doe,
ask You to invest without investigation
and IN booklet recently issued it tells
an about these savings securities and
Just what the purchaser of savings
certificates will get for his money.
ne government entered the saw
1rgs field with Postal Savings to ac-
coimodate a large class of people; it
enlarged that field during the war by
selling War Savings Stamps; it now
continues in the savings field to meet
a demand OF the people which cannot
go unheeded. The widespread success
OF the Government Savings system
thus far is the best reason for its ex-
lstence and for the Treasury Depart
ments further efforts to make the

GEORGIA GOATS FOR NEW
YORK EASTER DINNER

VIDALIA, Ga.-Goat shipments,
which are now at their peak here, will
continue until Good Friday, which is
the last date shipments can be start
ed from Vidalia and reach the mark
cts in time for Easter when their con-
sumption is greatest Vidalia is said
to be the largest goat shipping point
in Georgia.
The greatest demand for goat meat
is when the kids are young and small
and the shipments are made entirely
by express, the kids being placed in
crates which hold from six to twelve
of the animals.
The shipments generally start about
March /, and continue until Easter
The demand is heaviest in the larger
cities of the East which have i'm
pcrtant Italian settlements and it is
stated that the italian methods of pre-
pairing the meat makes it very tasty.
Growers report limited demand for
the meat throughout the year but it
is said to reach its peak Immediately
before the Easter holidays. The de-
mand at that time has never been
filled, it is stated, the prices soaring
between one and five dollars head.

Mr.. R. R. Dorminey one of the par
ty OF Is who recently made trip to
the District A. & M. School at Triton
has. just received a very high class
registered bull calf from the herd of
Jerseys at this school. The District
A. & M. School at Triton under the SUI
pervision of Prof. S. L. Lewis, has one
OF the highest class small Jersey herds
in the state. They will not send out
bull calf from their herd unless it is
OF high producing quality and give a
guarantee to this effect with every calf
they sell. Mr.. Dorminey is to be con-
'-gratulated in securing a calf of such
splendid breeding as he is getting of
this school. He could not get better
anywhere in the state even tho he
were to pay from $500 to $500 for the
calf. It is to be ho9ed that several
others of the dairyrnen in the county
will take advantage of the opportuniti-
es of getting high class registered bull
Acalves to be used in their herds.
4 The Ben Hill County Dairy Asso-
Citation should get behind a movement
Of this kind until at least ten or fiji
teen registered bull calves are brought
