Improvement With Progress The radio hns brought about changes in old customs, as well ns furnish entertainment to millions of people in their homes. It lias even changed, or rather given new ideas, for newspaper headlines. There was a time when country newspapers were content to head their county cor¬ respondent’s news letters with such captions as “Janesville News Notes, • • ■etc. The Fort Valley Leader-Tribune carries one now reading, “Listening in on Marshallville.”—Macon News. The significance is clear. The radio is no more an improvement upon old methods of communication than our Marshallville and other correspond¬ ents and their news letters each week avre a mark of improved efficiency in county and community’ news service. Our correspondents in Byron, Mar fehallvillc, Clopine and on the rural routes whose news letters appeal* from time to time are doing great -work for the improvement and prog Tess of their communities as well as the whole section. They create more interest among their own people in community affairs and in one an ether.

The Savior’s calling you; ' He guarantees ’twill make the trip; No other ship will do. — W. C. CARTER. GEORGIA REAL ESTATE Therc is scarcely a day now that press dispatches do not announce some large real estate sale in Georgia to Florida developers. One such sale has just been announced from Cartersvilie. Another near Albany. Another near Brunswick, This illustrates first that the forecast as to 1926 being a year of spirited realty transactions is not confining those prospects to any one section of the state; and, second, that operators who have been interested in the unprecedent c< * Florida development see in Georgia a forthcoming field for successful de velopments. I | ‘J U8t as the Florida properity was not, and is not, confined to any X one sec tion, just so every section of Georgia is having its especial appeal. , One group , j of syndicate may be attracted to the great recreational possibilities of the j mountains, or the fruit-growing possibilities of the foothills. Another may be attracted by the possibilities of the peach belt, or the pecan belt, and so on. The fact is-—and it is worthy of comment—lands are being purchased al¬ most daily in all sections of Georgia, both for exploitation and for occupation. The result is, prices are rapidly advancing, and the climb has not begun to Hath the peak. , It is not probable that Georgia is in the path of any inflation excitement or speculative boom. It doesn’t seek any condition that is not entirely sane and sound. It is, without possibility of challenge, however, at the threshold of a new era of real estate activity. - The reason is not alone that Georgia is unsurpassed in her agricultural opportunities, but the lands for subdivision and similar developments are usually purchased just ahead of established lines where progress in certain to travel. That is a fundamental rule in the acquiring of wholesale lands for future retail purposes. The investors who are coming into Georgia today and purchasing lands a t low values are doing so in the earnest belief that the people of Georgia urv determined to put this state in the same column of progressiveness in which North Carolina and Florida and other enterprising states find them | selves. They are anticipating the good judgment of Georgians. If the spirit of the day means anything—and it does—they are not ealeu j lating without reason. The people of this state know that Georgia has every natural advantage possessed by any state, and more than many, and are de termined to institute a program of progressive activites that will do justice to all the people, and to all the sections.—Atlanta Constitution, columns of The Leader-Tribune had a large part in the program to make of this section a happier and more glori¬ ous part of the Southland. The Lead er-Tribune deeply appreciates, and we are sure our readers appreciate very heartily, the public service that is being rendered in this way by these correspondents in our flourishing towns and communities around us. ._ I Want s, j RATE: 1 cent per worff.

It. Is seen from these figures that in the year 1921 there was a re¬ duction of 91 deaths, in 1922 an in¬ crease of 116. In 1923 a decrease of 95 and in 1924 a decrease of 51 In the five-year period there was a total ot 2,538 deaths from malaria or practi cally 1 death to every 1.140 people. Taking this five-year period a very satisfactory reduction is shown by a decrease of 121 deaths in 1924 over the year 1920. Observing these fU uros further we find an annual death I rate as follows: In 1920, 1 death to 5,180 Inhabitants; In 1921, 1 to 6,187; in 1922, 1 to 4,958; in 1923, 1 to 5,921, and in 1924, 1 to 6,612. This decrease in the malaria death rate is consid ered an indication of what could be done in Georgia with additional per¬ sonnel for the State Board of Health. Considering the fact that the per cap¬ ita appropriation for Georgia for pub¬ lic health is many times lower than for any other southern state a mate¬ rial reduotlon can not be expected until the number of field workers can be increased over the present person¬ nel of one man. Malaria is without doubt the most serious of our public health prob¬ lems. It is directly and indirectly the cause of the greatest amount of sick- j ness In our malarious sections. It is the cause of the greatest economic lose because it affects to a serious extent both our farm and Industrial workers. The State Board of Health is at the I present time assisting, as far as pos¬ sible, cities, towns, communities and Industries in the eradication of the malaria mosquito and wherever this work 1,1 b f lnB conducted a m ‘‘ t, ' rlal reduction is noted in malaria . preva- r lcncfl A Uat of ( , eaths from malaria , )y coun ji efl may |,p obtained by writ jug to the State Board of Health, GO AND SEE A GERM. state Board of Health has one 1 0 j (he equipped hygienic labora tortes in the United States located in the Capitol at Atlanta. It Is a most interesting place. If you will call to see them they will be glad to show you around and tell you about germs and bacilli They grow them and from them make the vaccines that cure our ills and keep us from being sick, The physicians of the State use this laboratory in making their diag¬ noses. They send thousands of speci¬ mens there to find out what they con¬ tain The Laboratory furnishes to our doc¬ tors containers for collecting these specimens. As soon as the specimens arrive an expert takes them and gets right to work hunting for what he can find; it may be for hookworm eggs The specimen may he a drop of blood to be examined for malaria or typhoid fever; it may he a swab from a throat to see If it is diphtheria. ! Whatever it may be, it is given prompt, efficient attention, and the physician receives a report as quickly as possi¬ ble on the result It is all free; no charge is made for this service. Water supplies for municipalities are looked after at least once a month, and advice sent The containers for this work are owned by the town or city No examinations are made of private water supplies; the appropria¬ tion is not sufficient for this purpose. i The regular routine work is done without charge for the people, and physicians who use the State Board of Health Laboratory do not have a labo ratory expense. it is hoped that the service can be enlarged and many oth- j er examinations made, as for instance, ! cancer, Bright’s disease and the like, which at present cannot be done for a want of funds to employ the labor. Is Your Well Or Spring Safe? After rain we can naturally expect our shallow veils and springs to be¬ come polluted and, in a measure, be¬ come dangerous. The surface wash¬ ings of human excrement are natural- I ly carried into the streams from which ) we get our drinking water. The grad iml filtration is slowly percolated into the ground and washed along the sur face until it reaches the lowest place. and unless your well or spring is pro¬ tected from surface water, it is likely to get into it. The only safe pro¬ tection is a sanitary privy. You cannot contract typhoid without contamination from a carrier of the germs. A carrier is one who has had typhoid and who has the germs of typhoid in his system. Af¬ ter these germs remain for a long time In an individual he will not have symp¬ toms. as he is immune, but he can and does “give" tne fever to another. A "carrier" is easily determined. The State Board of Health is prepared to make this test. It should be made on all who have had t>’Phoid before they are dismissed; in fact, some of the States now require two negative tests before one who has been "positive” is re¬ lea8ed from quaram ine It is a safe and sane procedure. - Unarmed Bobbies ; L London Reds Easily Dispersed by ^ T mmm i r%> ■ i" < ,h sfe ■■ ■ 7* I * 1 vv _ mm. -X /' ■ *r_ ■ Wi' >, % ie ** ____ * $&r\ ’'A M \ x mp- a 3 ' h. ^ > i Wei ... ano. % Ififl .
