NEW SOUTHERN YARD
QUICKENS MOVEMENT
' OF FLORIDA FREIGHT
:
Jacksonville, Aug. 4.—Providing
additional facility to speed up the
movement of the rapidly growing
volume of freight to and from Flori
da points through the Jacksonville
gateway, the Southern Railway Sys
tem has opened a new classification
yard at Grand Cossing, four miles
north of Jacksonville.
All Southern freight trains are
made up and broken up at t e niw
yard. Deliveries arc m.o e to connec
tiona- direct on nrr .va o re, K
trains at Grand Crossing, while »°r
merly the trains were carnu t roug
to Springfield yard, there broken up,
and deliveries for connections brought
back to Grand Crossing. By the . elimi- .. .
nation of this ten mile back haul
through a district which has b< < ome
densely congested with the growth of
Jacksonville, from two or three hours
are saved , on the .. movement of each
to connecting , • „ line, with i.
car going a
a like ... saving in the .i reverse direction.
The new facilities , ..... at , (.rand Cross
, Sng consist . , of - additional ..... , ,- tracts QP(o to in
crease the capacity , of r ,u„ the „„-,i yard fn to
f,50 eras, water station with 96,000
gallon tank, yard office, and wash
and locker rooms for switchmen.
THE LABOR BANK MOVEMENT
In the last five years twenty-nine
labor banks have been established in
the United States by various trade
unions. These rapidly growing insti¬
tutions, with resources of more than
$90,000,000, are now in operation in
seventeen Btates. Some are primari¬
ly savings banks. Others do a large
amount of commercial business.
One union prominently identified
with this movement, the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, now ope¬
rates seven labor investment com¬
panies in conjunction with its ten
banks. These companies have a paid
in capital of approximately $20,000,
000, and are intended to carry on an
investment business by buying and
distributing investment securities.
This co-operative movement natur¬
ally directs its first service to the in¬
dividual worker. Besides loans at fair
rates, it gives him equally valuable
counsel on investments, a greater and
more personal inducement to save,
and a better understanding of the
worth of sound investments. The ser¬
vice that this movement is lending to
industry is equally as important, if
less generallay apparent. These banks
and investment companies through
their close contact with industry, are
educating the worken to a better un¬
derstanding of the problems of in¬
dustry and the responsibilities • of
management. They are helping to
make the problems of capital the
concern of labor, and smothering the
»• big interests” agitation, which mors
than any other factor is responsible
for industrial inefficiency, discontent
among the Ration’s workers, and gen¬
eral loss of income.
The way to kill competition is to
create something too good for com¬
petition to imitate.
It’s often a good idea to let the
other fellow believe he is running
things whether he is or not.
The trouble is that one extrava¬
gance always suggests another.

CENTRAL’S PAYROLL
Knvunnuh, July 25.—Payrolls have
aptly been termed the “lifeblood of .
commerce.” „ The payroll of the rf (Ten

last year was $13,489,321. That is

| The railroad payroll is disbursed ,
I r*
twice a month and it goes immediate

communities benefit by " the Central

* grocer,
butcher, - the clothier, ... ’ the milliner, ’ the
furniture store, the doctor, the den¬
tist, indeed every business and pro¬
fession gets a share of the railroad
payroll as it is paid out for living
expenses.
The Central of Georgia employes
are good citizens. They are home
'owners, and investors. A part of
their money goes into savings banks,
some of it goes for the support of
the Government as taxes, and some
for the support of their Churches as
contributions. Every form of com¬
munity activity feels a good effect
from the Central of Georgia payroll.
The same thing is true of other
railroads. One person out of every 25
gainfully employed in the country is
carried on a railroad payroll. Last
year nearly 3 billion dollars was paid
out by the railroads of the country
on wage accounts. This money was
immediately and widely distributed
by railroad employes and their de¬
pendents who number more than 7
1-2 millions.
The railroads are also large direct
purchasers of coal, iron, steel and
miscellaneous supplies. Their pur-

You Have An Interest
In This Big Task
(U HE telephone organization in Georgia is per¬
forming a big task in which the public has more
than a casual interest. This is to be a year of
construction and expansion to care for the pres¬
ent demand for service and provide for the needs of
the immediate future.
During the five-year period, including 1925, our
plans require an expenditure of $12,900,000 in Geor
IP a. Pl-actically all of this is new money, which
must be secured from investors.
There is no difference in interest between the tele¬
phone subscriber and the telephone stockholder. If we
serve the owners of the property wisely and efficiently,
we shall render the largest benefit to the public.
We must have rates low enough to enable every
person who ought to have a telephone to hav<) one, but
sufficient to pay the cost of producing the service and
earn enough to attract capital to take care of this
growth.
That is what your telephone organization is trying
to do.

1 for the individual whose opportuni
ty for saving is limited the savings
bank is still the best first step to fi
nancial independence, The interest
rate offered by most banks is only
3 or 4 per cent, but it is sure. The
savingB banks of this country have a
enviable record for safety. Another
advantage is the fact that the fund
I be immediately drawn upon in
can
case of emergency. Although the sav
ings account lacks the compulsory i
feature afforded by life insurance
and the building and loan associa
tions, the fact that more than one- I
, third of the population appreciates j
the opportunities of the savings bank
■ gives it a place which very few other
institutions could fill. 1
Many small holders of investment
securities make it a regular practice ;
to use the savings bank as a deposi
| tory for dividends and interest and ;
their small savings until they have j
accumulated enough to purchase a
new security outright, When this
plan is used persistently, savings
mount at a very rapid rate.
chases stimulate every branch of
business and industry. The railroads
pay taxes of almost a million dollars
per day and the public enjoys the
benefits of good government which
are made possible by taxation.
Good transportation service bene¬
fits the entire population. Anything
that cripples the railroads will ad¬
versely affect the prosperity of the
whole people. Not only fairness, but
self-interest, could lead the people to
insist upon a sound, constructive
public policy toward the railroads.
„ Hope for , social . , peace and , progress
is contingent on a better knowledge
of the natural laws of economics.
Utopias are conceived by those who
have much more than they need or
by those who have much less than
they need.
INTERESTING OLD BOOKS
Macon, Aug. 4.—A set of books
printed one year before Columbus
dicovered America, and one printed
three years after that event will be
included in the 9,000 volumes which
will compose the library of the Theo¬
logical Seminary of Mercer Universi
ty.
The two sets of books along with
a third, printed five years after the
three ships of the Geneose navigator
touched on the coast of the new world,
were presented to the library by Dr.
A. H. Newman, world famed Baptist
church historian and professor of that
subject at Mercer.
The set of Boneventura’s theologi¬
cal works, the oldest of the volumes,
were printed in 1491, while Occam s
Dialogues, were printed in 1494. The
other set, Nichalos de Lyra’s,
mentaries on the Bible, was printed
in 1497 -
The library, the books of which
are valued at $12,000, will be located
on the ground floor of the Theologi
cal building recently remodelled from
the material of the old gymnasium.
The volumes in the library have most
ly been collected through personal
donations, although a part of them
were transferred from the university
library.
Many donations and orders have
already arrived, and by the opening
of the fall term in September, the
books will be on the shelves, classi
fied and ready for use.

attractive red green or blue-black crushed slate with
which the shingles are surfaced; and second, to the

ALFALFA VALUED
FOR DAIRY COWS
Alfalfa has long been recognized as
one of the best feeds obtainable for
work stock, but its value for milk
cows has not been realized. Convinc¬
ing evidence of this premier hay crop
as a milk producer has just been
made public by Frank W. Fitch,
field agent in Dairy Husbandry at
the Georgia State College of Agricul¬
ture, who says that Alfalfa should
be a boon to Georgia dairymen, if
judiciously fed to their cows.
In the case cited by Prof. Fitch, a
drought curtailed all of the available
feed supply, and the entire section
was forced to resort to alfalfa alone,
no concentrates being provided. Re
; cords were kept on 642 cows in for
ty-nine herds. The results were as
follows:
I In the twelve-months period during
which the records were kept, the
cows ate on an average, $61.45 worth
0 f hay, and returned $149.84 worth
of dairy products, an average of
v
$2.46 for each , dollar , ,, expended , , for -
