"Feed" to Celebrate Successful
Work.
The boys* Strawberry League last
night at the Y. M. C. A. celebrated
the closing of the league season with
a most delightful "feed" and general
good time. The league has been a
most successful one. The attendance
has been exceptionally fine and the
interest and enthusiasm of the boys
has been keen fron, start to finish, de?
spite the fact that the gymnasium was
practically closed for two weeks on
account of Mr. Jennings* illness. The
league pennant was won by Master
Austin Beck's team composed of the
following boys, Johnnie .Sandel, Jul?
ius Pitts. Burgess Buitman. Stanley
Weinberg, Jennings Till. Hal Wither
spoon. DuPre Hhame. Lamar Matth?
ews, Ambrose Beetham, Frank Sholar,
Ernest Friar, Nelson Bradley.
The supper was served by several
of the young ladies of Jo"v
Qym association and was most enjoy?
able, a bountiful repast being spread
before the boys, ending with the
strawberries, symbol of the Straw?

ent for the occasion, but was unable
to be there on account of illness. Mr.
Levl was to have become the new
scout master for the boys, but decid?
ed it his duty to enlist for the train
ing camp at Fort Oglethorpe and
therefore would not be available as
scout master this summer. Mr.

vide a scout master for the boys this
summer in order to carry on the ac?
tivities along this Uns.
A response was celled for from the

looking after the boys and caring for
their wants in an entirely satisfactory
manner.

ARRANGE FOR FIRST PAYMENT
ON PAVING ASSESSMENT
JULY 1.
Number of Matters of Interest Acted
on at Meeting; of Council Tuesday
Night?Will Recommend- Man for
i
Cotton Weigher.
City Council held a regular meet?
ing last night, Messrs. Rowland and
Booth being present. A number of
matters of general interest came up
for attention, the most important of
these to citizens being announcement
that arrangements would probably be
made for receiving the first payments
on the paving assessments by July 1.
Mr. Rowland reported that the
claims of Messrs. Norman Chandler
and Cyril Schwartz were in process
of adjustment.
The clerk and treasurer reported
that the bill of $2,800 for paving laid
in the A. C. L. yard by the city was
still unpaid and Mr. Rowland was
asked to urge settlement of this claim,
as the city needed the money.
The clerk and treasurer asked for
definite instructions as to charges
which should be made for driveways
and walkways put in by the paving
contractors in front of residences.
Council decided that property owners
must pay for the walkways in front
of their houses, and where there was
more than one driveway to the lot.
property owners must pay the entire
coat of such driveways. Where there
was only one driveway, the property
owners would pay only one-third of
the cost of construction, as with the
sidewalk and paving in front of hiv
premises. The amount for additional
driveways and walkways should be
charged against the property owner on
the first assessment which became
due. Maj. Lee made Inquiries as to
alleyways and driveways on South
Harvin street In order to make the
proper assessments against them.
The city clerk was instructed to
push up his work on the paving as?
sessments in order that they would
be in shape for collection of the
first payment at the first of July.
Fire Inspector Finn reported that
the Crosswell and Reardon buildings
on South Main street and East Lib?
erty streets, respectively, had been put
In condition to conform to the build?
ing code.
The police and library reports were
read and ordered filed.
The city clerk and treasurer was
Instructed to advertise for applica?
tions for the position of public cot?
ton weigher, so that council could
recommend a suitable man for the
place to the coun v board of commis?
sioners for election for the term be?
ginning July 1.
Supt. Finn reported the fire station
in bad condition and in need of re?
pairs. City Manager Shuler was in?
structed to investigate and report
back to Council what repairs were
needed.
The matter of relieving the con?
gested condition of the recorder's
docket was discussed, with a view of
finding some means of speeding up
the trial of cases to relieve the city
of the expense of keeping prisoners in
the guard house.

Then feed your stock a ration of COTTON SEED MEAL, with
Corn. Dr. Tail Butler cays that If you are feeding your mule 14
lbs. of corn per day, you cm take our four pounds and put in

Four pounds of Corn is worth 12 Cents today. Two pounds of
Cotton Seed Meal is worth 4 cents?a saving of 8 cents per day
and each animal fed. In 365 days you would save $29.20, if you
put Into practice the advice of Dr. Butler, who is conceded to
be the higest authority on feeds and feeding. It is as necessary to
SAVE as it is to PRODUCE, and "saving' and producing"
are the watchwords of today. , v
In The Progressive Farmer, Mach 24th, 1917, Dr. Butler recom?
mends the following ration for work stock when Cotton Seed meal

(1) 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal by weight to 5 parts of Corn.
(2) 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal to 4 parts Corn, 4 parts Oats.
