COOPER SELLS STORE TO
+. |. co. and D. T. DIAL
is THE new MANAGER

C. H. Cooper, logging contractor
for the Flagstaff Lumber Co., this
week sold the Flagstaff Lumber Co.
commissary back to the company. Mr..
Cooper took it over several months
ago, sometime after he took the con-
tract for cutting and railroading into
town all the logs used in the mill.
F. A. Smith has been here from
McNary for several days, on behalf
of the lumber company attending to
details connected with the transfer
of the commissary and is to have
charge of it. He will not live here,
however, but at McNary, where he is
manager of the big conmissary of the
w. M. Cady Lumber Co. Mr.. Smith
will come here once month or so and
the resident manager will be D. t.
Dial.
Mr.. Dial arrived several days ago
from McNary, where he was assist
ant auditor, and already is in charge
of the store. He will bring his fam
lily here soon. He faithfully promises
to like Flagstaff, and from the size of
him, and the healthy look Of him and
the grin he can readily hang on his
face, it's certain Flagstaff will like
him.
Mr.. Cooper by the change has more
time to devote to the logging business
and has unloaded lot of detail that
has made his working days several
hours longer than is good for man.

American Farmers
Facing Price Drop

Washington, D. C.-The American
farmer is facing a drop in the pur-
chasing power of his products to the
lowest level since December, 1924,
the Department of Agriculture an
nounces.
"The general level of farm prices
dropped from 139 to 1875 per cent of
the pre-war level from June Is to
July 49," the departments statement
said.
"The departments index of pur-
chasing power of farm products is
placed at 81 for June, the same as
in May, the 19O9-14 fve-year period
being used as a base of 100.
"Thus, the general advantage of
purchasing power of farm products
in June was 13 per cent below that
in the fve-year pre-war period. With
APPOINT drop in the farm price in
dex for July, if non-agricultural
prices remain at the June level, the
July purchasing power of farm pro-
ducts may be as low as 85, the low
est point since December, 1924"
Moderate declines in prices paid
for grains as a group and many other
farm products were registered in the
monthly period ending June Is, de-
partment experts said.

TIME OF DELIVERANCE

Special attention is given by the
speakers of the I. B. S. A. to those
prophecies of the Bible which have
special bearing upon the time in
which we live. A lecture of great
interest to every thinking man and
woman was delivered Tuesday by E.
B. Sheffield of Fit. Myers, Fla, at the
Courthouse,
The topic Of the lecture was, "The
Time of Deliveranee." The speaker
quoted MANY passages of scripture,
prominent among which was, "The
earnest expectation of the creature
waiteth for the manifestation of the
sons of God. Because the crea-
ture itself also shall be delivered
from the bondage of corruption into
the glorious liberty of the children of
God" (Romans 8:19, ~. Com
menting upon this text, and calling
attention to many related scriptures,
Cne speaker SAID.
"These words show that the time
is coming when the sorrow and suf-
fering, sin and trouble, dying and
death, that have afflicted the human
race, the whole creation, shall not
always continue. These conditions
are not natural, but unnatural, and
are the result of mans fall from per-
lection. We are assured that God
has purposed to restore and uplift
the race, and so prominent is this
theme in the Bible that the Apostle
Peter tells us that all the holy proph-
cts have spoken of the times Of resti-
tuition or reconstruction. These
times of reconstruction are not for
a handful of saints and martyrs, but
for the entire human family. Only
the wilfully wicked will be excluded
from the general downpour of bless
ings that are promised. There shall
be showers of blessings.-Ezekiel
34:26.

HOT WEATHER ADVICE

Lest you suffer too much during
the hot waves of this summer, may
we remind you that these are good
rules for everybody:
Dress lightly, keep out of the sun
as much as possible, eat enough but
not too much, and don't swill ice
water or other cold drinks all day
long. Hot tea, without sugar, or
milk, is better than any of them, and
the warm or hot bath is more cooling
in it's effects, than the cold one, for
all except the most rugged. Don't
get scared as long as perspiration is
free. When it stops and the skin gets
dry and feverish, then look out for
yourself, and do it instantly.
Fruits and salads are estimable
foods in hot weather, but so they are
in cold weather, too, and it is wise to
remember that starvation is not q
good preparation for meeting any
emergency.

STATE FARM MAY BE
ELECTRICAL MODEL

Athens, Ca, August 5.-Conver-
sion of the Experimental Farm of the
State College of Agriculture into
model of farm electrification is prac-
tically assured at an early date, it
was revealed here today in an address
by H. M. Atkinson, Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Georgia
Railway and Power Company, at
Camp Wilkins, summer encampment
of the boys farm clubs of the state.
DR.. Andrew M. Soule, president of
the College, and Mr.. Atkinson are
now at work on plans through which
it is expected the state farm soon
will become model of modern agri-
cultural methods.
eve will join DIR. Soule and work
out a plan for equipping the State
Agricultural Farm electrically, I'M
der his leadership and according to
his plans," said Mr.. Atkinson. eve
want DIR. Soule to demonstrate here
what electricity will do on the farm.
We feel very fortunate and the State
is very fortunate to have man of
DR.. Soule's ability, energy and knowl-
edge to carry out this plan. We want
to follow his leadership and coop
crate with him to the extent of our
ability in bringing about practically
and steadily the use of electricity on
the farms of Georgia.
In addition to launching plans for
the complete identification of the
state farm, Mr.. Atkinson told of
great progress that has been made
during the past year toward rural
identification throughout Georgia,
stating that the merger of various
Georgia Power Companies is a great
step in this direction, Already cleo
tricity is being carried into new ter

Georgia School Makes
Nationwide Record

Atlanta, Ga.-A Georgian or other
Southerner who likes to boast and
boost-and every mothers son should
acquire the habit-might paste this
record of a Georgia school in his hat'
The U. S. War Department has
rated Riverside Military Academy at
Gainesville, Ga, the highest in eff
ficiency of any military school in the
United States with one exception,
this exception being mid-western
school with millions of dollars in en-
dowment that has been in operation
for many years.
This rating-a signal honor worth
of being passed along by boosters in
general-comes on top of previous
record made by the school which is
unequalled in the entire country, it
having been designated as an honor
school by the War Department for
four coiiseeHtive years. This show
ing, as we'll as the rating, was made
among the fifty military schools in
the United States having government
recognition and undergoing annual
inspections by army inspectors.
1t is also a known fact that River
side Academy last year sent to the
colleges and universities of the ceun-
try larger percentage of it's grad
yates than went from any similar
school in the United States. 1t has
made an extraordinary record in ath-
letics for several years.
