PROSTECT FOR 1925 • Washington, D c. 29.—Ameri can business is riding safely at high tide. Fears entertained by the administration a month ago that perhaps business *was ex panding too rapidly, and that ir. flation might result from the phe nomenal rise in the stock market, have been allayed greatly. Figures compiled by the depart ment of commerce show: How Prices Stand. That the commodity price index, based on 200 commodities in gen eral. use, is the same as it was one year ago today. That the cost of living figures are the same as they were a year ago. That prices being received by the farmer for his products is far better. That the price the farmer pays for the things he must use have been reduced materially, and his financial status placed almost on a level with the man in industry. Few Now Lack Work. America will enter the new year 'f on a tide of prosperity, with vir tually no involuntary unemploy ment. None of the major industries has reached 100 per ceat produc tion, and until demand exceeds maximum production, the admin istration is not fehrful of infla tion. Steel production is 83 per cent of capacity. Government officials believe the ideal business situation for the - United States would be a pro duction of about 95 per cent max imum and that the basic indus tries are working gradually to that point. Demand for 101 per cent of production is regarded as dangerous, for when demand ex ceeds the supply the danger of in flation begins. v?! ors «* We are always ready to ad vise you concerning your car troubles and we are willing to listen to any ad vice which you may think will better our service for the many car owners in this •community.

MILLION-TREE STATE FORESEEN Macon, Dec. 29.—While 500,000 peach trees will be cut down dur ing the winter, according to latest estimates from reliable sources, it is known that a million trees will come into bearing the coming tea son. , This presents a problem of how to curtail the coming crop to pre vent the glutting of the markets, so detrimental to the peach indus try during the coming season. It has been the rule, growers say, that a light crop usually fol lows a big crop, hence they are hopeful that the coming season will not be too prolific. Fort Valley Optimistic In Fort Valley, the heart of the peach belt, there is less worry and more optimism than in any other section of the state, according to financial agents of Atlanta and Macon banks who have just made a tour of the belt. Growers there believe that the coming season will be a financial success. They are laying their plans accordingly. Expect More Trees There were 8,800,000 bearing in Georgia during the past season, out of a total of 12,000, 000 trees. The records obtainable now would indicate that there will be approximately 9,300,000 bear ing trees for the coming peach season, unless growers wield the axe a little more vigorously than they have thus far. No early varieties have been planted. Heaviest planting ap pears to have been in favor of the Hileys and the Elbertas and it i i in these two varieties, it i3 said, that mbst of the new trees will come itno bearing the coming year. Percentage of Fruit The percentage of the fruit, ac cording to number of trees, the coming season, will be divided as follows: Early Rose ..... 3.6 Carmen ________ 7.8 Hileys __________ 34.2 Belles _________ 8.1 Elbertas ______ 46.3 SEVEN PERSONS BLAZE VICTIMS ON SUNDAY Alton, 111., Dec. 29.—Three aged patients of the State Insane Hos pital, three miles east of here, were burned todeath early yester day when a frame farm house was destroyed by fire.
