BUYING MORE PICS

An Albany business man who
also has large farming interests
has bought 176 feeders in Ten
nessee, and will let them grow
and fatten on a south Georgia
farm. They now weigh an aver
age of 80 pounds each BY next
March they will weigh 200
pounds each, ami unless all rea-
sonable Gale 4 Ions a.Ie upset oy
unforeseen contingencies, there
should he prof. of something

For these Tennessee pigs will
thrive in pastures and fattca on
velvet beans, peas, peanuts, corn
etc, that wer raised on the
farm where they have been in
stalled, and they will not only
more than double in weight in
four months, but will bring
much higher price for pound as
grown hogs than they command
as feeder pigs.
This is a significant farm en-
terprise, and there are many
more like it. Last year farmers
throughout this section were sell
ing pigs for whatever they would
bring, but now the farmers are
buying instead Of selling-buy-
ing from the Moultrie packing
plant, from TC1nessess and north
Georgia, and wherever else pigs
are to be had. The pendulum is
swinging back very decidedly

axe Oil Stocks

II is almost incomprehensible the
ease with which billions of money
are taken from the people of this
country by fakirs selling oil stocks,
land schemes and other such get
rich-quick deals.
The State of Georgia protects
its people from these slick-toneue
artists by requiring registration of
all stocks offered the people.
Before giving up your hard-earn-
ed money write to the Comptroller
of Georgia, asking him for infor-
nations get the State record of oil
production before parting with
your money; or before you are
tempted to buy oil stock, write to
the Comptroller of the State in
whichtthe oil company is incorprat-
ed or has its legal residence and
ask for a written statement of the
company's oil production.
The promoter is obliged by law
to furnish such record with the
Comptroller at stated period. Tie
oil production will show you whetn-
er you are in on a losing proposition
or not.
1t is the acid test.
Thep whea you have found this
out, talk some more about the
proposition with your lawyer and
banker.
If you can't wait to write ler-
ter, ask your banker for his opin-
ion Of the investment. he knows

Bread and Stew

1t has been decided by repre-

countries to observe international
Golden Rule Sunday on Dec, 2,
with this special purpose:
First, to ask everybody on this
Sunday to dine for one meal on the
foods served to orphans iN the
American orphanages of the Near
East;
Second, to give to the Near East
Relief what they thus save, 50
that thousands of children may be
cared for.
No elaborate organization is nee
essary-no special meetings, no
collections, 40 drive-just a com
munion of the Golden Rule, a
sacrificial meal celebrated with
and for the thousands of little chill
dren who will live because the
American people have practiced one
Of the most sacred principles Of
human relationship.
1t may be something of a sacli-
flee to many American families to
limit themgelvea even for one meal
to this simple menu, but the nov
city of it and the consciousness Of
the good accomplished will make
it worth while.
Therefore if you believe in the
Golden Rule. you will join the

Carroll County Shipping

5000 Dozen Eggs a Week
Carroll County Demonstrates the Truism 1T Is the Little
Things That Count" in Her Shipment of 5000
Dozen Eggs Each Week

We all recall the story Of the Liz

who found grain Of wheat and
went about raising a crop with
which to- feed her hungry brood.
The Little Red Hen or white as
the case may be- in CVarroll coun-

so old-fashioned. Someone else
feeds her brood, while she stays
steadily cn the job of contributing
to the enormous egg supply that
helps to feed and clothe the farm
er's brood.
When the boil weevil had Carroll
county pretty badly discouraged in
1921 and 1922, few enterprising
farmers of Carroll county began
looking around for "side line"
and found poultry inviting because
of the fact that it takes but little
capital to make a beginning. Real
~ good practical ideas are always
contagious, and very soon an cpl

the county. This sounds as if the
farmers must have abandoned their
cotton and corn fields and gone to
raising chickens. but that thew did
not do this is demonstrated bv this
years cotton. They simply became
"farmers-plus"
The poultry industry grew with
such rapid strides that it soon he
came evident that some co-opera-
tive planning must be done if the
products were to be successfully

THE OLD BEAU

How sad is the gay dog of fifty,
The bird with the much-roving eye,
Who dolls up exceedingly nifty
And ogles the girls going by.
He loiters where Youth on parade is;
Oh what can be worse than the bore
Who once was Wow with the ladies,
But isn't Wow any more?
In making no comments adverse on
The old boy whose tresses are gray
But who, though middle-aged person,
Is merry and jolly and gay;
The butt of this bitter TRADE is
The goof-there are samples galore
Who once was Wow with the ladies,
But isn't Wow any more.
The airs that in youngsters are charming,
In him are a subject of jest;
His leers and his winks are alarming,
In fact he's terrible pest;
How tragic this once polished blade is,
This Has-Been whom naught can restore,
Who once was Wow with the ladies,
But isn't Wow any more.

Whether you agree with his ac.

something few politicians Of today

Until Georgians lay to one side
