''The slick guy

Nearly every one of us has seen the check
cred suit person with the velvet tongue.
How smoothly he once told of the merits of
this product or that-and raked in perfectly
good coin for. purchases that were often
worthless.
The "slick guy" is seldom seen to-day.
When the wise person goes to buy, he knows
what's good in value and fair in price.
Simply by CHANGING over the advertise
ments in your paper, you can see where to go
for the best buys You can compare values
and check up prices without even stirring
from your easy chair. You know in advance
just what youare going to get and how much
twill cost. And you can have the satisfac-
ton that comes from knowing your money is
wisely and safely spent.
Nowadays, no one need be at the mercy Of
the "slick guy" There are still few people
I who fail to read the advertisements - and
. take a chance" Don't be one of them.

U. S. FISH HATCHERY
AT LAKE LANIER
Senator Harris Ito Introduce Bill
Authorizing Purchase of Lake
Lanier, near Lakeland, Ga.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 14.-Not
only will there be prompt and
abundant supply of fish to replenish
the streams in the drought area of
Georgia, but the state will have one
of the largest fish hatcheries in the
world under bill to be presented
in the coming session of Congress
by Senator William ]. Harris. The
bill has already been prepared and
has the approval of Commissioner of
Fisheries Henry O'Malley and of
Secretary Of Commerce Herbert
Hoover. In addition, Senator Harris
has discussed the matter with
President Coolidge.
The passage of the bill, which
seems altogether likely in view of
its high Endorsement, would result
in the governments acquiring sever
al thousand acres of land in South
Georgia, preferably around Lake
land, Lanier' county, if the tract can
be obtained on satisfactory terms.
The project contemplates growing
practically all kinds of fish indigo
nous to the Southeast, and billions
of eggs would be brought to the plant
to hatch fish to supply the entire Sec
ton. A plan by which the owners of
large ponds and lakes in North Geor-
gia may cooperate with the govern
ment in propagating fish is also un-
der consideration.

DIVERSIFIED CROPS
SALVATION OF STATE
Rail Chief That Diversity of
Interests Isl .ential to South
Georgia's Growth.

Atlanta, Ga, November 18.-The
diversity of interests, agricultural,
business and industrial is necessary
to the future development of South
Georgia, Colonel B. L. Bugg, head of
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railway, said in a statement made
public here today. The railway, it
was stated, is making every effort to
find purchasers for farms along its.
lines both in Georgia ad Alabama, as
announced recently in special offer
to land owners.
"South Georgia is in q prosperous
condition because of the success of
her farm crops and the ready market
offered. for agricultural products"
said Colonel Bugg.
1.-THE section has done admirably
in meeting the disaster threatened by
the boil weevil. Before the advent of
the weevil the state was producing
two million bales of cotton annually.
In 1920 production was cut approxi-
mately to one million four hundred
thousand bales and by 1923 it had
dropped to scarcely 100000 bales.
This was swept away, the greatest pur-
chasing power in the state of Georgia.
Newspapers Gave Aid.
Newspapers, agricultural experts,
railroad farm agents and others in
terested in the states welfare had
foreseen the calamity and had preach
ed Investigation of crops as pro-
lection against financial ruin. Pack
ing plants were established, new crops
were being introduced, and but for
the unusual cotton prices in 1919,
inducing farmers to gamble heavily
the following year against the weevil,
the disaster would not have fallen
so hard. AS it was South Georgia
was better able to meet the menace
than any other section.
"The only way the weevil was met
and conquered, and prosperity restor-
ed to the section, has been through
diversification of crops. Proper di-
versification means the planting of a
multiplicity of crops. This program
of diversificaton should be extended
to the business field as well as to ag-
riculture. The same principles hold
good in the industrial world.

opinion of Paul T. Arnold, head Of

Building in the South, Mr.. Arnold
says, will reach it's peak this fall,

building plans and prospects which
are proposed get started. The Miller
company is now financing many
structures mall parts of the South.

towns and make the business districts

Enough projects have been an
nounced, it was shown, to make
building figures for this year and
next mount higher than ever before
in Dixie's history.
In this connection, Mr.. Arnold cal
led attention to the fact that the
South's cotton crop, will this year lie
( worth approximately one hundred

the South's manufactured products

nual meeting of the North Georgia
Conference, Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. began arriving in
Griffin early Tuesday morning, and
by noon a large number had reported
to headquarters.
Bishop U. v. VI. Darlington, of
Huntington, w. Va, who will pre-

that the proposed plan of unifica-
ton will be made special order of
business for Wednesday morning and
a. vote taken on this important ques-
ton at that time. This will be done,
it is said, in order to get the matter
disposed of so that the conference
may then transact other important
business.
The first day of the conference
will be marked by unusual activity,
regardless of the question of the
vote on unification. Organization
will be perfected, officers appointed,
committees formed and the admis-
sion to full membership of the Sec
ond-year class of preachers who have

ference will be entertained in local
homes. The committee in charge of
entertainment stated Tuesday that
homes had been secured for the en-
tire" conference, and that every de-
tail of the work had been completed
and Griffin was now ready for the
conference.

preached on the subject of the plan
of unification refused to comment
He said that it was a great and i'm
portant question that had to be de-
cided by the conference. 81 was born
blind and dumb" he said. 81 have
my eyes open now, but am still
dumb" The Bishop was the princi,
pal speaker at the weekly luncheon

Washington, November 17.-Colo-

The versatile attacker of the army

on the main objects of his attack, to
charge an: augmented prosecution
with seeking to deny him every rule
of evidence designed: to protect the
"You are turning. this court.marr

by you, to the defense. You boast Of
your court-martial manual that pre-
scribes that every presumption is in

Mitchell's charge came when
Colonel Sherman Moreland, trial
Judge advocate, tried again to induce
the court to rule that Mitchell cannot
offer evidence in proof of his wide
spread charges of maladministration
of the country's air service, but only
in mitigation of his alleged offense

GERMANS MAY COME
TO GEORGIA FARMS
Large Corporations Plan to Get Set
tiers for Large Tracts of Land
in South Georgia.

Atlanta, Ca, November 18.-Large
corporations that have purchased
large tracts of land in South Georgia
are planning to settle German farm
ers on these farms, it was announced
here today by farm development
agents. On account of the scarcity
of labor it is believed that great col
onies of these Germans can be induc-
ed to come to Georgia and settle on
thes farms.
The movement is one which will
prove of value to the agricultural in
terests of the state, it was stated by
Eugene r. Black, presiden of the At
lanta Trust company, one Atlanta's
largest banks, which owns number
of model farms and has also placed
farm loans on considerable property
in South Georgia. The bank officials
have shown unusual interest in the
farm development program of South
Georgia for a number of years.
Farm development agents here point
out that the German farmers are
thrifty, economical in their living
habits an daccumulative of their re-
sources. A few colonies in. Georgia
it was stated, would enable land
owners to cultivate much of their
idle land. These people, agricultur-
lists here say, understand farming
and can produce as much on the
average acre as is now produced on
dozen or more. They have been
educated, it was asserted, to the
value of land and every inch is u.s.
ed for some purpose.
"With the coming of several col
onies of these Germans to South
Georgia, the farmers and land owners
of other parts of the state will make
no mistake in investigating and max
ing an effort to secure the location
of these people," said an agricultural
expert. "Since the migration of the
colored farm laborer, some sections
of the state have suffered and fore.
ed thousands of acres of idle land
upon the owners. With an increased
cultivation of farm lands, conditions
will improve and an early settled
state of affairs will exist"
