Kiwanis Club Plans
To Boost County
Unique Campaign Inaugurated
By Georgia County To Get
Settlers, Cow, Hog and Hen
Is The Slogan

ATLANTA, April 20 = Wilkes
County, one OF Georgia's most pros
porous communities, has adopted, what
they term, a fighting slogan. 1t is as
follows: The COW, the hog, the
hen, little cotton now and then
There were several hundred slogans
submitted in a contest inaugurated by
the NewsReporter, a live-wire news
paper published at Washington, and
the winning slogan was decided by the
Washington Kiwanis Club.
The trinity is kept, it is stated, in
order of their Importance, COW first,
hog second, hen third; the thought that
with the advent of the COW, hog and
On, cotton acreage must be cut and
kept cut is there, and the rythm of the
two lines is apparent there are exact
ly twelve words, which was the max
imum allowed.
That the Washington Kiwanis club
is in earnest when it said it was its
purpose to bring new settlers into the
county is shown by the way the or
Ganization has gone about the matter.
In undertaking the task of attrac-
ting home-seekers to Wilkes, the
Cub has made connections with a
we'll known selling organization, the
Rogers Pealty and Trust Company of
Atlanta, Of which Dan R. Padgett is
s neral manager, The Roger, Comp
AIRY has connections with many of the
largest development companies of the
country and Wilkes county will be
placed on the national map. All rail-
roads reaching the section Of the state
i'll which Wilkes county is located will
cooperate with the home-seekers move
n!ent, which is regarded as one of the
most unique yet introduced by any
Georgia county.
The plan of selling Wilkes county
TO new settlers, as proposed by the
Rogers company, has attracted I'M
usual attention, The Washington XII
wants club will have entire charge of
The work, the realty company working
under or for the club. The club mem
bers will take options on all the land,
improved and unimproved, they can
get in the county. They will urge own
ers of the land to put the lowest price
possible on it.
When sufficient land is secured
the options will be turned over to the
Rogers company in Atlanta. Then the
company will prepare its advertising,
distribute it in various sections of tn
country, and send its representatives
i'll person to many business centers.
Georgia counties, it is stated, are max
ing similar plans to attract homeseek-
ers. 81,

REV. BURTON breaches STRONG
SERMON AT UNION MEET

Because of the storm Sunday night,
which occurred about church time,
the union services. scheduled for the
city park, were held in the Methodist
church. While the attendance was
comparatively small, the excellence of
the service was not detracted from.
Most of the pastors being out of the
city the Rev. E. Burton, pastor of
the Baptist church, had sole charge
and delivered strong, uncompro-
missing, scriptural sermon, taking his
text from First Timothy, 1.-THE
Glorious Gospel of the Blessed God"
The choir of the Baptist church,
under the efficient leadership Of Mrs.
Burton, with Miss Edna Theriault of
the Methodist church at the organ,
led the congregational singing. A
duet by Rev. and Mrs. Burton was
highly appreciated.
The union services on next Sunday
evening will be conducted in the park
by the Christian church, If the wea-
ther is favorable.

FIND ABANDONED HOMES
In MONTANA, ALBERTA

Mr. and Mrs. George N. Lamphere
and daughter, Lamona, arrived at
home Saturday night from a three
weeks automobile tour through Mon
tana and Alberta, during which they
visited with a number of old-time
friends and viewed country which was
entirely new to them. Among other
things they drove over the new
Kootenai-Banff highway, which was
opened to traffic June 80, and pro-
nounce it one of the finest scenic
highways in the west.
The crops are better in Montana
than in a number of years, Mr..
Lamphere states, with thousands of
acres of wheat in the Great Falls dis
trict which should yield from 25 to
35 bushels. There has been consider
able damage, however, from grass
hoppers and hail. Up in the Cham
pion district in Canada, the crops are
magnificent There are vast fields
which should yield 60 or more bushels
to the acre. There is, however, as
in Montana some damage from hail.
Intermingled with the fields of fine
grain, however, Mr.. Lamphere states, |
are dozens of abandoned farms,
grown up to weeds, where the series
of partial crop failures, coupled with |
the low prices of the last two years,
have been too much for the farmer,
causing him to abandon his home
and go out to look for a new start.
Many of the farmers who will har-
vest good crops this season have not
forgotten the experiences of the past
few years, and are eager to dispose
Of their holdings. This is especially
rue of farmers who formerly oper-
ated in the Palouse country.
Mr.. Lamphere states that the roads
ire everywhere filled with tourists,
rom all parts of the country.

new VARIETY WHEAT
PROMISES BIG YIELD

The Thompson Special, new
variety of wheat, is being grown this
season, for the first time on one of
the N. Williamson farms, in the Len
vile district, and seems to be especi-
ally adapted to the Palouse country.
1t is a club wheat and the heads are
much longer than most of the varie-
ties now common to this district One
head brought to this office contains
126 grains.
Mr.. Williamson states that the seed
was procured from the east by his
renter, Tim Hollingsworth, and that
he believes the wheat will go so
bushels to the acre 1t is the inten-
tion to SOW larger acreage next sea-
son.
Mr.. Williamson visited all of his
farms Sunday, covering a consider
able territory, and says that the
crops are uniformly good. With an
average yield of perhaps three times
that of last year, he expresses the
opinion that conditions will be good
in the Palouse country this fall, even
though the price for wheat may not
be more than so cents. Where there
is as much food stuff grown as there
is in the Palouse country" Mr..
Williamson said, "you cannot help
but have fairly prosperous condi-
tionS"
