Large Audience Fills House
Sunday—Senior Play Tues
* day Night.
The Louisville Academy has com
pleted the year’s work and has en
tertained friends with a splendid
commencement program. On Friday
night the pupils of the primary and
grammar grades gave an interesting
program in which tlie young actors
did credit to themselves and teach
ers. The second grade gave several
motion songs and a little playlet by
Anita Sinquefield and Dixon War
ren. The first and third grades pre
sented “Cinderella and the Fairies,”
a very attractivdly staged and cos
tumed little operetta in which the
little fellows did some good sing
ing and acting. The music pupils
ami the members of the sixth grade
delightfully entertained with an
operetta.
The fourth and fifth grades gave
a rose parasol drill and a rhematic
drill on Tuesday night. The senior
play followed the drills, and Miss
Jessika Wright in the title role of
* the Lady of the Library, looked and
acted to ‘perfection the demure,
sweet graciousness o fthc old gentle
woman who “lived to love and loved
to live.” Misses Betty Clark and
Frances Phillips were so beautiful
and bewitching in their attractive
costumes that one felt that the
(ardent love making of Sam Clark
a/id Hymie Estroff was more sincer
ity than it was good acting. Other
actors were Tommie Wasden, Ken
neth Yearns, Effie Jean Brown,
Mary Hauser, Miriam , Lichtenstein,
Clyde Thomas, Sara Fay Reid, Mary
Laura May, Worth Jones, and Mary
Eddie McNcely.- The parts were well
caste, and the play a great success,
showing much work and talent.
. Diplomas were given to fifteen
V graduates on Wednesday night. Mr-
B. G. Price delivered the literal
address and Mr. W. W. Abbot, Jr.,
the diplomas.
• MAN PUTS PURCHASES
IN WRONG FORD CAR
All Fords Look Alike to Him.
A gentleman from a nearby town
was in Louisville Saturday morning
making some purchases for his
household. After shopping for
J while, he accumulated his purchas
b, among them being four pair of
t‘shoes, carried the bundles over to
’ the curb where his car was parked,
t and dumped them in the back of
J|what he though* to be his car. Later
fin the day, he discovered that he
* had put the bundles in the wrong
Ford, but it was then too late to
correct the mistake, as the other
car had been driven away by the
owner. No note, as yet. has been
found of the car or mislaid packages.

LOUISVILLE MOTOR CO.
AUTHORIZED FORD DEALERS.
Louisville, Ga.
THE NEWS AND FARMER
A FORD AS AN
OBJECT FOR THRIFT
Taken From The Wall Street
Journal of April 23, 1923.
A weekly purchase payment plan
for Ford cars increases the amount
of credit available to purchasers by
reaching down to the family savings
in the home and at the bank. It
does not secure delivery of a Ford
car upon payment of a minimum of
$5 down and $5 or more weekly, as
seems to be supposed.
Changing status of the automobile
is indicated in the way the motor
is passing from the luxury class into
that of necessities. With a large
part of the rural public, “Own your
own automobile" ranks with “Own
your own home” in a family budget
policy.
In days of high wages, pavings
hanks deposits show some but not a
corresponding increase. Thrift is
a slittle universal as it ever was.
As wages and salaries are received
in growing amounts, more ways are
found for spending them. Although
automobile manufacturers generally
have directed their efforts toward
diverting these spendings toward
purchases of their product. Ford
seems to have devised a practical
plan for this purpose. It appeals
to people whose only reason for not
owning a care was because they did
not happen to have the first pay
ment.
A broad application of the thrift
movement to car purchase will be
strongly supp orted by the banks be
cause it tends to swell their savings
accounts. The Ford plan rather in-,
geniously links the savings idea to
the Ford car and virtually ties the
prospective purchaser to the pur
chase as soon as he begins to save
for the first payment. The position
of the dealer and the Ford company,
aside from any increased sales re
sulting, will be strengthened because
co-operation of local banks will be
sought in determining the credit
risks of prospective purchasers-
In effect the family which takes
advantage of the plan is merely
starting a savings account pledged
to the purchase of an automobile.
Installment purchase upon the whole
has not stimulated extravagance, and
has undoubtedly made thrift attrac
tivee with an object for saving.

Since his retirement from the!
army, his friends say he failed in
health. But it was only a little
more than a week ago that he devel
oped meningitis, the cause of which 1
had not been determined. Doctors

best of attention, but to no avail-
Major Wheeler was born Novem

the First Baptist Church and of the
Masonic fraternity.

LOUISVILLE, GA., THURSDAY. MAY 24, 1923.
GA. STATE BUDGET
COMMISSION IS IN
SESSION IN ATLANTA
Will Probably Sit Four or
Five Days Before Adjourn
ment. To Consider Items
Before Executive Session.
Atlanta, Ga., May 22.—The state
budget commission went into ses
sion in Governor Hardwick’s office
this morning and will probably sit
four or five days before adjourn
ment. It is the policy of the com
mission to take up consideration of
the various items coming before it
in cxecuti’ session, because of the
fact that ivj work in open session,
and under an announced schedule
would so handicap them it would
he impossible to complete the com
mission's task before the legisla
ture convenes.
As each item has been completed
the commission will announce its
conclusion hut no advance docket
will be prepared or announced
by it.
The completed report, to be trans
mitted to le legislature, will rec
ommend what each of the depart
ments and institutions of the state
will need, as appropriations, for
the years 1921 and 1925, and will
give an outline of the expenditures
of each. The detailed information
gathered by the commission will be
filed for the use and information
of the legislature.
Commisaion Issues Order.
Following filing of proceedings in
Fulton superior court several days
ago by a number of Atlanta ship
uers, to prevent the Georgia public
service commission putting into ef
fect its class rate freight order, on
the ground that that order was dis
criminatory against certain inter
state movements in that the move
ments within the state under the
order would he lower in charge
that movement; rom without the
state for like distance, the commis
sion today issued another order, .as
follows:
“Ordered: That nothing in our or
der of Feb. 28, 1923, effective May
1, 1923, prescribing maximum class
rates between points within the
state of Georgia shall be construed
as requiring any carrier or carriers
to charge between points of origin
and destination within Georgia, any
higher class rate or 'barge than is
charged for a longt. aaui between
a point within and a point outside
the state of Georgia, when the
shorter haul of freight between
points in Georgia is included with
in the longer haul from or to a
point outside the state, between
which the lower rates apply. Sub
ject to the provisions of section 12
of class rate order dated Feb. 28,
1923, as amended April 10, 1923.”
The commission also has issued
an order today that “pursuant to
the rules of the commission hear
ings will he had before the com
mission at its office, beginning at 10
o’clock a. m. T, tesdav. June 12
next,” changes a additions to the
freight classification, proposed by
both the shippers and carriers. Un
der the original order the commis
sion provided that quarterly hear
ii-„a should he hud after beginning
operation under the classification
order, and this is the first of those
quarterly hearings.
Prohibits Boxing Matches.
An ordinance adopted by the city
council yesterday afternoon, prohib
iting any boxing contests or prize
fights in Atlanta during the period
of the Elks’ tional convention, has
upset the spurting c ! rcles here very
much. The bout between Harrv
Greb and Jeff Smith was scheduled
for that week, to decide the mid
dleweight championship and it
would now seem that the ordinance,
introduced by Councilman Bob Gor
don upon request of the grand
trustees of the Elks, will cut off
that big card.
Today a movement is on foot
among the promoters of the Greb-
Smith mill simply to rearrange the
date of the bout, putting it either
during the week preceding July 9,
or the week following. This can be
done, since the ordinance adopted
was designed and passed only to
cover the one week while the Elks
are in convention here.
On the other hand, there is a
mild under cur- nt of fear evi
denced that the Jordon ordinance
may be an entering wedge which
might have the possibility of threat
ening the future on the fight
game.
Gigantic Undertaking.
Joe Gaston, of Butts, who has
become known as a central figure
in politics over the whole state
through his successful engineering
of the Walker campaign, has lined
out for himself one gigantic un
dertaking. Mr. C ston was here to
day and let it leak out that he is
planning a great big peace and har
mony political gathering at his
country plnce in Butts County on
July i.
It has always been a habit of
the legislator • of its habits—
to knock off work and celebrate big
on the glorious fourth. This year
the gentlemen of Butts is going to
cordially invite all the legislators,
the prominent leaders of the Walk
er faction and the anti-Walker fac
tion: what remains of all the old
facitions, and some folks who arc
not factionalists, and have them all
hover around an open-air impro
vided feast board and mopup bar
hecue together. In a word, Mr.
Gaston is arranging the big peace
and harmony affaiir. It is his pur
pose, he has told his friends to
have Governor Harwick and Gov
ernor Walker; Chief Justice “Plain
Dick” Russell and former Chief Jus
tice W. H. Fish; Mayor Walter Sims
and former Mayor Jim Key and—
well a long list of other combina
tions of the same kind. “The only
thing we are going to bar, he says,
“will be politics.”
LOUISVILLE TO HAVE
A KIWANIS CLUB
Asa result of a feeling with
I everybody that Louisville should
I have some civic organization with
' the welfare and upbuilding of the
| town as its primary purpose, a
meeting was called by some of the
! local Knights of Pythias lodge at
the lodge buildinv for Monday
night, May 21st. A number who
were known to be especially inter
! csted were asked to he present to
| discuss the matter. Knowing of the
great success in work of this kind
i accomplished by Kiwanis clubs in
| towns similar to Louisville, it was
decided to ask some of the Kiwan
ians of Swainsboro to come over
: and tell about it. A splendid dele
! gat ion came over from Swainsboro,
j including Mr. Guy Alford, Solicitor
General Walter F. Grey, Mr. I- L.
; Price, Mr. Palmer Williams, Mr.
Earl, Mr. Mulling, Mr. Homer Dur
den and Mr. Flanders, secretary of
the Swainsboro Kiwanis Club. After
supper for the guests at the resi
dence of Mrs. C. C. Burkhaltor, the
meeting was called to order in the
Knights of Pythias lodge room by
Mr. B. L. Bethea.
Splendid talks by almost every
member of the Swainsboro delega
: tion were listended to witli interest.
I Among other things, the meeting
was told about the purpose and
worth of Kiwanis, and the success
it has had at Swainsboro, Sanders
villc, Washington and other places
no larger than Louisville. The slo
gan of Kiwanis is “We Build ” Serv
ice is its single purpose, with the
community as the beneficiary. It is
limited to a certain extent in mem
bership, which only seems to add
to the interest and make member
ship in it desirable. Four successive
absences from meetings forfeits a
membership, and another member is
then elected. Fifty was suggested as
the maximum and minimum limit
for Louisville.
The social features were explain
ed. This feature keeps up interest,
and keeps the club alive. A fine of
*I.OO is imposed on a member using
the word “Mister” to another mem
ber. “When we meet, we cat,” is
the watchword. Meetings are held
I as often as desired, regularly, once
n week, or once every two weeks,
or less frequently.
The advantage of Kiwanis over a
j Board of Trade, or a purely local
j organization comes from the fact
i that Kiwanis is an international or
! ganization. All towns of about the
: same size, have similar problems.
| The international organization
spares no trouble or expense in as
sisting each town to get the bene
fit of the other town’s experience.
A splendid magazine is furnished
each member as a part considera
tion for the annual dues paid to
international headquarters.
After listening to the Swainsboro
speakers, most of the Louisville
people talked, thanking the Swains
boro Kiwunians for coming and ex
pressing a desire that a Kiwanis
Club be established here. A resolu
tion was passed accepting the of
fer of the Swainsboro club to act
as sponsor for Louisville in getting
a charter here. Mr. R. L. Bethea was
elected temporary chairman, and
Mr. R. S. Farmer temporary secre
tary. Twenty-three, all of those
present, signed a petition for a visit
from Kiwanis headquarters of a
man to assist in organizing a club
at Louisville. A committee was ap
pointed to classify members and
solicit other memberships so as to
get the necessary 50 members at
once.
The meeting then turned to the
social features of the program,
which were aided by ice cream and
cake, and cigars. After a most pleas
ant time, the meeting adjourned to
meet one week later under plans to
! l>e arranged by the temporary or
ganization.
Commencement Sunday Ob
served.

mon.
The annual commencement ser
mon was preached last Sunday in

“Blessed Be the Name of The Lord,”
Mrs. Gamble gave as a solo “I Think
When I Read that Sweet Story of
Old.” The High School boys acted
ns ushers and received the ofTering.
