vegetable substitute for dangerous

Don't take calomel, It can not be

Can You Oualify?-

You may think yourself a
very careful, considerable auto
driver But before your plume
yourself to highly, ask yourself
one more question:
How do you handle your
headlights2
Do you always dim them on
approaching another car? Do
you always keep them dimmed
except when there are no 9th
er cars coming and you can't
see to drive without havir g
them on full tilt?
IF you don't you cant qualify
as a considerate driver.
Bright headlights are a men
ace to everyone else on the road.
Keep EN- dim.
And don't depend too much
on glass lenses that are supposed
to diffuse the glare and render

them are pretty nearly as blind

We well take our prosperity
straight.
Let it cone along in the nat

The boom we want to see will
not come out Of Florida or out
Of the north. 1t will come out
Of the soil. 1t will come out Of
fine melon crops, fine tobacco
crops, fine cotton crops, fine pea
nut crops, fine hog crops, fine hay
crops, etc.
Let's bend our energies toward
making our lands productive and
profitably, and then We shall find
them in great demand. They will
be brought by dirt farmers and
not by syndicates. The men who
buy them will come and possess
them and live among us.
This will be growth and pros
perity. 1t will be on something
that abides.
We folk in Georgia know how
to raise cotton, but few of us
know much about tobacco or
dairy farming, therefore our
best bet is to induce those farm
ers who KNOW the things we
DON'T know to come here.
That's building on a permanent
basis, and to a large degree,
that's what Georgia is doing.
Lasting prosperity lies in di-
versification of crops and to ac-
complish this we must have PEG.
