make it possible for additional build

The school will be opened for
occupation in September, Mr.. Clark
said, and if the work of finishing it
is delayed it will be difficult to COM
plete the construction after the
school is occupied. The pupils will
be constantly disturbed by the con-
struction work, Mr.. Clark said, and
there will also be some element of
danger in having the children in the
school while construction work is
under way. BY finishing the school
before it is once occupied. Mr.. Clark
continued, all these bad features will
be eliminated.

THE SOUTH MUST
GROW ITS OWN FOOD
ATLANTA, Jan. 25.- Few peo-

ATLANTA, Jan. 25.-- Few peo-
pie in the South realize the enor-
nous drain there has been on the
South's wealth through the steady
food and grain buying during the past
fifty years. What's the greater pity
Of it is the fact that most Of this
money comes directly out of the farm
pocket" said H G. Hastings, of At
lanta, Chairman of the Farm and
Marketing Bureau Of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce.
For fifty years or more the cities
and towns of the Cotton Belt have
been furnishing food and grain to the
farmer instead of our farmers feeding
the cities and towns. While the cities
and towns have had the best of this
unnatural business, it has really i'm
poverished both country and city"
"As nearly as can be ascertained,
my own state of Georgia has spent
in the last rs years not less than two
and one-half billion dollars for food
and grain from the North and West,
zeal hard cash money that ought to be
sticking in our farmers pockets. That
money is gone never to return.
1T is no reinstatement or exagger-
alton to say that twenty-five billion
dollars of the South's money has gone
that way in the last fifty years. 1t
was good, hard worked for farm
money. What we have been doing is
spending our lives growing cotton,
trading it off for bread and meat at
no profit to ourselves.
mo use to 'cuss' the powers that
be in Washington or the trusts, tariff,
banks or spectators. They may
have had a part but mighty small
part in comparison with the part we
ourselves have played The way to
stop that drain on our pockets is to
stop buying food, grain and forage
and produce those necessary items on
home acres.
THE time to start is now Plans
Tor 1924 are being made. Before o
plow is stuck in the ground, food
-rain and forage acres should be set
aside. These acres should and must
be first instead Of last consideration.
When these are fixed, then the farmer
can go al far as he likes with cotton,
tobacco or other cash crop safely.
Give the home garden a chance in
his food production. It's a wonderful
helper i'll cutting store bills in half
Tor the FOLKS that will give it a square
leaI instead OF the usual lick and
promise, mostly promise. Start Che
God production procession in 1924,
and a money procession will start to-

Rheumatism may be caused by
any number of things, and this is
why it is so hard to cure. If we
know what caused any particular
case of rheumatism, it. could be
promptly arrested. Any remedy
that merely relieves the pain is not
sufficient. The ony sure way of
relief is through thorough sys-
temic treatment that will reach ev-
cry part of the body and all the
vital organs. Then you are sure
to reach the cause without guess
ing.
This complete treatment is found
only in a prescription called Re
CuMa, which contains seventeen
we'll known and thoroughly tested
medicines, so skilfully compounded
that each one performs its function
on the various parts of the body
perfectly and tremendously.
This remarkable prescription
starts right to work on the blood,
taking out the rheumatic pains and
removing pimples and skin blemish-
es, relieves constipation, cleanses
the kidneys and puts your entire
system to rights, thoroughly acting
upon the colon, which, according to
Prof. Metchnikoff, of the Pastuer
Institute, Paris, is the direct cause
of all our aches and pains. In ad-
dition, Re-Cu-Ma starts the liver
to work naturally and pleasantly
without gripping or purging, gives
you a digestion that enables you
to cat anything you like without
bad after effects, and you sleep like
a log. Re-Cu-Ma is a scientific
prescription that revives, renews
and regenerates your vital organs
so that you feel constantly full of
pep and ambition.
Re-Cu-Ma is sold and recon-
mended by Planters Seed and Drug
