Think what this means—seven dol-
lars out of every ten mvested in iood,
clothing, household utilities and all
the multitude of things that keep a
family comfortable and happy.
It’s a big job to spend so much
money wisely and well. It requires
careful business methods to get the
best possible returns from each dollar
that leaves the family purse.
The clever woman goes for help to
the advertising columns of her news
paper. There she finds a directory
of buying and selling. She learns about
the offerings of merchants. She com
pares values. ' She weighs quality and
price. She takes this opporunity of
judging and selecting almost anything
she needs to feed, clothe, amuse, in
struct and generally bring up her fam-
iiy.

This Should Be Prohibited In
Order That Grass And
Clover May Grow
The ground over at the High
School buiftlfng is mostly red mud
and gives a very poor appearance
and feeling when one undertakes to
walk over it. This condition is slow
ly being overcome by the addition of
new soil and provisions for the sur
face water.
There is, however, some clover and
grass growing around the corners of
the grounds. It is up to the general
public to help in the protection of
that which is already on the grounds.
Cows and other animals grazing on
the grass will soon put an end to it
and everyone must co-operate in sav
ing that which we have.

Farmers of Bibb County, Ga., cf
which Macon is county seat, do not
appear to be superstitious. At least
they did not balk at adopting a cot
ton program of 13 points.
Farmers and poultry men of Bbb
County met at Macon recently and
reviewed the progress df the year
and outlined plans for the coming
year. D. F. Bruce, county agent, had
charge of the meeting.
The program of objectives—which
might serve as a model for other
counties in Georgia and the South
follows:
\
1. Make every effort to make cot
ton a cash profit crop.
2. Plant cotton on only those
lands that will produce better than
one-haf bale per acre.
3. Not to plant cotton on land that
is slow to warm up in the spring,
because the fruit will net be set early
enough to avoid boll weevil damage.
4. Plant seed suggested by local
cotton committees, as they are keep
ing up with variety test and mill de
mands.
5. That each farmer buy enough
pedigreed seed of varieties suggested
by committee to plant a seed patch
large enough to secure enough seed
for his entire acreage the next year
and do this every year, or let one
Or two farmers plant entire crop to
Ofi6 Variety to furnish seed for the
county.
6. The farmer, by renewing his
cotton seed each year, will keep up
the staple that will warrant a prem
ium.
7. That inside of three years only
two varieties be planted J n the coun
ty.
8. Gin days be set for varieties anc
gin cleaned out before ginning at a
nominal speed.
9. To encourage the farmer to pick
his cotton clean, keep separate from
other varieties and bring to gin only
in a dry condition.
10. Every grower of cotto n use
800 pounds of fertilizer per acre and
at least one side application of am
nionia at squaring time.
11. Dust with calcium arsenate to
insure a full crop.
12. Plow regularly and keep a rec
ord of expense and income.
13. That twenty-five growers join
the five-acre cotton clubs and com
plete their records.

Dixie Theatre Monday and Tues
day, at 8:20 p. m.
A famous diamond has been stolen
at a houseboat party given by the
d - strict attorney. In order to give
the thief a chance to relent, he as
sembles his guests, places the empty
case on a table, and extinguishes the
lights.
When they’re flashed on, the dis
trict attorney, is found with a knife
through his heart—and the caskefi
has disappeared. The deputy for*
bids anyone to leave unt ; l the police
arrive. They are followed by a cor
oner,..summoned while on his way to
th^atjVe. Ascertaining the man hi
dead, he starts to go but the police
captain asks him to help solve the
mystery.
A Shot—And A Knife!
Fingerprints are d : scovered on the
dead man’s detachable cuff. As the
coroner stodps to examine them, »
shot is fired—knocking of his hat.
Stooping again, a knife buries itself
beside h's head. Opening the big
clock, a beautiful young woman, Ruth
Whitman, the attorney’s ward, is re
vealed.
Clutched in her hand is the miss
ing jewel. The girl says that some
body shoved her in. The coroner is
the only person to believe her story.
He prepares to take everyone’s fing
erprints when the lights are sudden
ly turned off. Switched on again,
the room is empty and the incrimin
ating cuff gone.
An Armored Figure Attack
Thrll follows thrill. The coroner
is attacked by an armored figure.
Pistol shots to no avail, the mon
strosity is tripped up and revealed
as the dead man’s deaf and dumb
valet. The coroner examines him in
his own tongue and announces that
his man has confessed everything.
The deputy attorney wants to see
whether M’ss Whitman’s jewel is
real. Examining her case, the dia
mond is found missing. A beauti
ful blonde is forced to take down
her hair. Out falls a paste copy. The
cigarette case of a second woman
contains the real Signet. She admits
having stolen it.
A policeman enters with the sheath
of a knife which fits the blade found
in the murdered man. The valet ex
plains that he shot his master.
Everyone is then made to take the
same place he or she had when the
lights first went out. The deaf and
dumb mute takes the attorney’s po
sition. The sw : tch is snapped off
and on—and the valet found with a
knife through his heart!
Events Leading To The Discovery
Then the coroner takes the same
place and extinguishes the lamp.
When lighted, a knife is still quiver
ing in the wall—but the intended
victim is calmly sitting on a bal
cony.
He accuses the girl and draws up
a confess'on for her to sign. Some ink
Is spilt on the assisting deputy at-
td: ney’s hand. The coroner offers
him a blotter. He then compares its
marks to the prints on the dead
man’s cuffs and they are identical!
The murderer is placed under arrest.
The coroner, using deaf and dumb
pantomime, asks the girl if she will
marry him. Her answer spells out
the word—Come and see for yourself*
