THE OUTLOOK FOR FALL BUSINESS

Signs on every hand well as reports from
many sections indicate good prospects for fall
trade From dispatches and financial items COW
ering the country at large the decline in activl-
ty thruout the United States reached its low
level between the the 18th and 10th OF July,
and from that time there has been a notable
gain. According to the last report of the Credit
Clearing house an increase in general purchasing
over the United States amounting to 40 per cent
over the entire country during the third week OF
July is recorded. Naturally lot of people blame
the seeming dullness during August on the COM
ing election. Business men in general, however,
are becoming more sensible. Business may be
draggy in some sections until the opening OF the
+all season, but the whole, prospects for bet
ter business during the fall and winter months
of 1924 are more promising than were those tor
the earlier months of the present year.

FARMERS, TAKE TIME BY THE FORE

IOCK-You have tried to raise cotton every
wear. Some wears with success, at others at
loss Remedies have been suggested which you
have failed to take seriously, and lost bcause OF
your neglect Cotton remains with us as one OF
the money crops that this section MUSI plant
but every known remedy to insure some returns
for your labor soould be applied and the time to
begin is NOW. The first and most needed step to
take to insure against repetition OF total crop
failure is the destruction of cotton stalks-a SIM
pie remedy which every farmer can follow with
out additional expense as it will have to be done
sooner or later To do it now will decrease the
activities of the boil weevs in the spring. The
boil weevil lives on cotton alone and when you
destroy your cotton stalks you have begun the
fight against the weevil Cut off his ratlons tor
the winter and compel him to take to his winter
quarters on an empty stomach. Boil weevils,
like anything else, not live forever without
food and when you compel them to go to hber-
mating in weakened condition, he'll not survive
the winter to poster you in the spring
While it is far better for all farmers to act to-
gether in destroying their green stalks and thus
make Joint fight against their mutual enemy, it
will pay every farmer to destroy the stalks IN
his own field even if his neighbor is too lady or
careless to do the same. Cotton is about picked
for this season, before you take your fall vaca
ton being to lay the foundation for the 1925
cotton crop by destroying the stalks in your fields
and starve the weevils out.

MAKING BETTER CITIZENS The Ameri-

flag should fly over every school thruout this
country every school day. Childhood and impress
sionable young should know their nations colors
and something of that flag etiquette designed to
express proper respect. But true appreciation of
tn flag rests on broader foundation. There must
be understanding OF the American ideals for
which it stands; comprehension of the struggles
and sacrifice that have sustained it in emergency,
and knowledge of all the worthy principles it
symbolizes. That is large lesson for the schools
to teach, but it is part of their purpose of max
ing better citizens.

MACON GETS FED WITH OWN SPOON

Macon hotel and garage men, having for some
time diverted traffic from the Central Dixie High
way thru misrepresentation, now learning
how it feels to be "lied" about and are making
extra efforts to prove that the routes thru Macon
are as good or better than any other routes south
The Hawkinsve Dispatch is especially pleas
ed with the turn affairs have taken, and says IN
this weeks issue:
Macon Gets 1t in the Neck Our local highway
boosters are enjoying the scrapping Macon is
putting up over alleged "lies' circulated by At
lanta in regard to the Macon to GAINESVILLE sec
ton Of the Macon-Atlanta road.
All last season about SO per cent OF the routing
forces of Macon were set against the Dixie Short
Route and when we protested they would turn
black and blue in the face and say they didn't do
it,
Here's hoping the dose they are getting of their
own medicine may be big one.
Avoiding Macon Is Shortest Route That the
GAINESVILLE to Perry by Fort Valley cutoff would
save about II miles, and that added to the 80
from Perry to Jacksonville would mean saving
of over 40 miles for tourists, and avoiding the
slow down in passing thru the streets of Macon
with it's attendant dangers, would be time savers.
But we have never used this route here, wishing
20 be loyal to the Dixie. Any way Macon is CIV
ing this cutoff some good advertising. This
route is well maintained and the light soil thru
Crawford county should afford very safe road
these wet days.
