COMITTEES from different

lief is that It is but the forerun

in this section. One is practlcalJj
assured for Watkinsville, and it is
said a movement Is under way for
another at Colbert. Athens by all

THERE IS very encouraging
crop news from Oglethorpe. It Is

R. KING HOWARD of Lotting
tor., says up to ten days ago they
had the brightest prospect for
cotton crop, but since the ral
set in a new crop of weevils has
appeared nnd threaten Its destrir
tion. If tho rains hold up and the
farmers can continue the us-
poison cotton will yet be saved. In
discussing their cheese factory, In
Hays they are now getting about
225 gallons of milk a day but wher
the school opens and children cai
bring in milk, the supply win prob
ably increase. They make about
nine cakes of cheese a day. It only
takes about three hours to turn
the milk into cheese but the cheese
must be given about three wqks to
cure for use. It Is thought that
when the milk supply increases the
factory will begin to make money.
The Lcxjngton cheese factory, in-
lading lot, building and entire
plant cost about $2,000. The banks
ndvanced fanners money to start
it. About 85 per cent of the milk
Is returned to the farmers in the
shape of whey and this makes fl
very fine chicken nnd hog feed.
MR. BILL ASH, one of our old-
est nnd oest posted cotton men,
says if farmers can get 25 cent*
for their new crop of cotton they
will do well. The chnotic situation
In Europe, with Its depreciated
currency; has its effect on
price of the staple. England Is
using Egyptian cotton for coarse
fabrics, and we must largely de
pend on American mills for buy
ers. But of course no one car
foretell what the price will be.
MR. KENT, a farmer near Ath

peanuts shows them to be sprout

Robinson Crusoe Is
In Ill Repute in
Saxony; Speech, Cause
(By Associated Press)
BERLIN—Old Robinson Crusoe
is In ill depute in Saxony. In a
lecture to his clafit In the Leipzig
public Urcf. R!eh?.rd
Crusoo ns an example of what per
sistency would accomplish, point
ing out that he was not afraid to
work little overtime now and.
then when occasion, demanded.
••Germany today,” said the pro
fessor, “cut off from the wofld as
we are, might be compared with
Crusoe nnd his islund. But we
must not despair. We muot keep
hopes and our faith In the
future. Crusoe accomplished
things. Ho didn’t cense work one
monute when the shadow of the
sundial came around to the hour of
noon or six o’clock. We Germane
should not be afraid tc Work over
time now that fcnd times nre upor
us. Remember Crusoe, and bear In
mind also our mothers at home In
the kitchens, who in the summer
often labor from sun rise unti'
long after dark. If we follow
these lends we shall he able In the
end to hold together.”
Tho day after the lecture th<
professor received a letter from n
socialist member of ithe school
board taking him to task for hie
.talk, which the socialist considered
nn attack npon te eight-hour priiv
clple. The board member took oc
casicn to remark that if Crusoe
worked more than eight hours
dally it was because there was noth
Jng else to do during those dayt
and nights he was on the island,
or probably because Crusoe did no!
know any better.
