“THE HOUSE SERVICE BUILT”
DAN PATCH,
THE PACER
The famous pacing horse Dan Patch
was foaled in 1896 at the stables of
D. A. Messner, of Oxford, Ind. Some
of his pacing records have never been
surpassed. At St. Paul, Minn., Sep
tember 8, 1906, he paced a mile, in 1
minute, 55 seconds, with dust shield,
a runner in front and at one sid#. At
Memphis, Tenn., October 27, 1903, pac
ing to wagon, he made the mile in 1
minute, 57 1-4 seconds; on the same
date he paced a quarter mile in 27 1-2
seconds.
COTTON SURPLUS
There is much to be said in favor
of the bill of Senator Bankhead, of
Alabama, to license cotton gins in
order to control the supply of cotton
available for purchase.
Reports from Washington indicate
that President Roosevelt is not satis
fied about the present cotton situ
ation. Plowing up cotton is not the
remedy as we have repeatedly insist
ed. This paper has contended for
several years that we should have
no cotton planted for at least one
season.
It is foolish to talk about solving
the cotton problem on a voluntary
basis. The sooner the government
controls the actual marketing of cot-|
ton by licensing gins the better off
the South and the nation will be.

PAID CIRCULATION
The larger buyers have learned
that there is no substitution for news
papers space because of paid circu
lation. Paid circulation is a guaran
tee of quality. People who pay for
their papers pay for their purchases
at the business houses. Their trade
is worth while. It is true that direct
mail advertising enters homes noS
reached by the paid circulation med
iums, but the homes that have no paid
magazines or do not offer
very great markets for merchandise—

Cl'pping from Sunday School Times
2-24-34 about my book, A PERFECT
SALVATION.
"There has been much written and
countless sermons have been preach
ed upon this one glorious text, but a
reading of the present volume leaves
one amazed at the hidden depths nev
er seen before. Each great word or
phrase is dealt with in a chapter
alone, 4md there stands out with
startling clearness the fathomless
meaning in the very words. One
realizes afresh who God is, what it is
to believe, to perish, and to have ever
lasting life. The beauty of the writ
ing imprases one as worthy of the
.theme. The sentences are short,
clear-cut, and sparkling. God’s good
ness is so exalted and glorified, and
man’s need is seen to be so great,
that the Christian heart will be stirred
to worship and gratitude to Him who
has bridged the awful gulf and
wrought a salvation so perfect.”

MORE LARGE
INDUSTRIES COME
UNDER NRA CODES
WASHINGTON More than 20 codes
of fair competition have been approv
ed during the week, affecting more
than a million workers, all designed
to increase employment, pay rolls,
and working cosditions. Total ap
provals are 302. The list includes
laundries and restaurants, which to
gether are expected to add more than
$200,000,000 and hundreds of thou
sands of workers to the country’s pay
rolls; the general contracting division
of the construction code, the adver
tising distributing trade, and that for
the larger daily newspapers. The last
mentioned was given qualified appro
val, the President granting 60 days
in which to “give particular attention
to the provisions authorizing minors
to deliver and sell newspapers” and
the same period for “determination of
hours and wages of news department
workers.” The code for graphic arts
classed as the Nation’s fifth largest
industry, combines nearly 50 related
trades, covering the entire range of
printing and publishing, except the
metropolitan dailies. Hearings have
been cofpleted on more than 300 ad
ditional codes now in process of com
pletion or awaiting approval.

Howard Thompson
Found Hanged Near
Hall County Home
Gainesville, Ga., March 14—The
body of Mr. Howard Thompson, 35,
Hall County farmer, who had been
missing from his home here since
last Wednesday, was found Tuesday
shortly after noon in a thicket on his
own land three miles south of Gaines
ville, and near his father’s home.
Apparently he had hanged himself
with his own belt to the limb of an
ash tree. The limb had broken with
the weight of his body, which lay
crumpled on the ground. The condi
tion of his body indicated that he had
been dead since his disappearance
from his home. The body was found
by a searching party headed by Fred
Roark, C. C. Manus and other friends
of the family.
No other tracks save his own were
traced to the place where he was
found, and J. R. Hardy and C. White
local men, who had been held in Hall
County Jail on a charge of suspicion,
in connection with his disappearance
were released by Sheriff I. L. Lawson
Mr. Thompson was a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Thompson, promi
nent Hall County couple, and was
born and reared in this section.
He had been a successful farmer,
and no reason was assigned for the
taking of his own life. In addition to
his parents, he is survived by one
brother, Clyde Thompson, of this city.
Head Of Bankers Sees
Real Business Upturn
WASHINGTON Francis M. Law,
president of the American Banker’s
Association, assured the President
that there is “a very definite and very
real improvement in business”, and
that “banks are returning to a more
normal lending policy, since it is no
longer necessary for them to continue
superliquid.” Mr. Law, who was ac
companied to the White House by R.
S. Hecht, vice president of the asso
ciation, said he informed the Presi
dent that “the banking structure is
very sound, thanks to the policies of
the Government.

GEORGE WOOD, Temporary Adm.
CUMMING, GA„ MARCH 15, 1934
NO CIRCULARS
IN MAIL BOXES
Postmaster General Farley issued
an order on January 3 to the effect
tha, only regularly stamped mail may
be left in private letter boxes. Every
thing else, including circulars and ad
vertising matters will be collected by
the carrier and held for regular' post
age rates. This ruling is necessary,
Mr. Farley explained, because mail
boxes in American homfes are being
daily overstuffed with dodgers, cir
culars and reams of free advertising
material that is making Citizens
angry.
Newspaper advertising is the legi
timate method for introducing mer
chandise into the homes. Your county
newspaper goes right before the
hearthstone of thousands of homes
and is read by ’he housewife, business
man and their children. This is the
kind of advertising that really pays.

THROUGH
THE YEARS
Since 1904 the Bank of Cumming has been ren
dering a vast service to its friends and customers.
Through these long years this bank has contin
tinued its basic policy—to meet the financial prob
lems that changing conditions have brought. Our
aim is to render the same prompt and efficient
service in the years to come.
The deposits in this bank are insured under the
terms of the Banking Act of 1933.
Upon the past record we solicit at least part of
your business.

DELIVERED PRICE
REDUCED BY FORD
COST TO BUYER CUT $lO TO $25,
COUNTERING EARLIER MOVE
BY CHEVROLET MOTOR
Countering similar moves by com
petitors, the Ford Motor Cos. is re
ducing delivered prices on its cars
and trucks by from $lO to $25, effect
ive March 1. The Bize of the reduct
ions varies according to locality. List
prices at the factory remain unchang
ed.
Ford's step is in line with a gener
al movement, led prominently by
Chevrolet, to reduce the spread be
tween list prices and actual delivered
prices. Ford's previously larger mark
up over list prices for freight, hand
ling and taxes, etc., had offset a large
part of his price advantage over com
peting lines resulting from his lower
schedule of list prices.
At the time of the introduction of
the 1934 Chevrolet line, while lift!
prices were increased an average of
15 per cent, the factory announcement
pointed out that through special ar
rangements with dealers the increase
in actual delivered prices would be
held to about half that amount.
This was accomplished principally
by reducing the amount of handling
charges allowed dealers on cars ship
ped from the factory, although other
charges also were reduced.
SPREAD HELD EXCESSIVE
For some time, automobile sales
executives have felt that the spread
between factory and delivered prices
has been in excess of the actual ex
penses involved. However, with deal
ers’ earnings sharply curtailed during
the depression years, manufacturers
were reluctant to reduce dealer's al
lowances for these charges until sales
recovered.
Asa result of the policy inaugu
rated by Chevrolet, the Chevrolet
master six four door sedan, which
lists at $645, was delivered in New
York at $735, while the Ford< VIP,
Fordor sedan, listing at $585, was de
livered at $728. Chevrolet’s handling
allowance for dealers on the new
basis was $6 compared with $28.50 for
Ford, $lO for Plymouth and $30.50 for
the Essex Terraplane, the latter In
cluding sls remitted to the factory for
advertising. Chevrolet’s charge for
freight and taxes was $64.20 compared
with SBO for Ford. $75 for Plymouth
and $67 for the Terraplane.
The Chevrolet program, however,
incurred opposition from the retail
motor vehicle code authorities who
charged that the new schedule of
handling charges allowed dealers was,
below the actual expenses incurred |
by dealers. Consequently, after nego
tiations, the allowance for handling
charges was recently increased to sl2
a car, from $6, and to $13.50 a car
where cars are shipped in box cars
instead of by convoy.

ly located on Forsyth Street on your
way from the Ansley Hotel to all the
Theatres—Try them and be convin
ced that their food is tar above the
average.
*I.OO PER YEAR
IS YOUR COUNTY’S
HEALTH GUARDED?
Every county has a sheriff and
every town its policeman. Why? To
guard the property and lives of its
citizens against violence of other hu
man beings, or rather friends in hu
man form.
There are other friends, however,
that these fine officials, no matter
how alert, can guard against. Those
iifvistble friends are bacteria, spread
ing abroad typhoid, smallpox, diph
theria, tuberculosis malaria and other
diseases that wreck the health and
bring death slyly.
A state law creates a county board
of health consisting of the county
school superintendent, the chairman
of the board of roads and revenues
and a physician elected by the grand
jury. If the latter has not been ehos
en, the other two function until he
is. This board has full authority,
over health matters in your county.
The law also provides for a full
time county health unit, or you can
club in with another county and have
a joint one. This unit is headed by
a physician trained in the ways and
habits of these little fiends of disease,
He will advise you how to avoid hav
ing many diseases.
THE YEARLY COST IS LESS
THAN FOR A HALF MILE OF PAV
ED ROAD.
Farmers Meeting At
Chestatee School.
We had a very successful farmers
meeting at Chestatee School last Fri
day afternoon. About 75 of the local
farmers attended. At this meeting an
effort was made to assist the folks
in working out a crop and livestock
program which meets the needs of
the farmers and is in line with he
Agricultural Adjustment Act.
At the meeting several farmers indi
cated that they would be interested
in getting some cotton seed of an lm
proved variety with the idea of es
tablishing a “one variety community”
Since that time we have talked to Mr
E. C. Westbrook, Cotton Specialist,
Athens, Georgia, in regard to this.
Mr. Westbrook is very much inter
ested in getting some work of this
kind started in Forsyth County and
has agreed to meet with us next Wed
nesday afternoon, March 21, 2:30 p. m
at Chestatee School to discuss this,
work with us and help get it started.
We hope that everybody in tjve.
county that possibly can will attend
this meeting.
