A “ r ‘- IUm should fc addressed to The Banner-Herald^ appropriations for aviation Now that it has been successfully demonstrated by the ^office department that the art of aviation can bc C utilized for commercial purposes, congress should ( gee to it that sufficient appropriations are made for ; the support and maintenance for an aerial system for [ ^TheTecent 1 demonstration of ocean to ocean postal * flight fhouTd be sufficient proof to the members of 1 congress of the importance 'and necessaty » a"^ a 6. ranable of meeting any foe from a uiswnce or 1 several thousand miles, and yet only a few houre or so away. There is no telling when this country may V be forced into war. Such an occurence, however it 1 fa hoped will never take place again, but if it should, I to bp .prepared would mean much towards a victory. The mode of warfare has changed and as it has been I recitei and predicted that future wars will bo fodght ' from airplanes and the mode of destruction willbe from poison thrown fuom the airplanes rather than from powder and bullets. While the commercial side of the aerial system ' should be considered and encouraged by the govern- C ment,‘We should not lose sight of the necessity■ of havin^'our army and navy equipped in the fullest for aerial Yervicc. • . , The'airplane can be made of great economic ser vice to-the American people. Accidents to passen gers can be reduced by requiring certain restrictions on all aviators before they are.allowed to pilot a ma chine. .The day is coming when such service will be perfected by allowing only experienced and educat ed aviators to drive machines, the accidents will be roduedd to a minimum, less possibly than the nufnber of accidents now occuilng with automobiles. It is hoped that Congress will give favorable con sideration to appropriations for the development and improvement of aerial service both for commercial purposes and for protection of our country in case of war. t Atlanta, JeOranee.'Orlfron* 22 Mill Tax Rate For Bibb County For 1922 MACON, Ga.—Bibb county’s tax rate for 1923 will be 22 mills, ac cording to the annofincement of the county commTssToners. The county tax rate, of 16% mils for last year haa been raised to 1? mills and the usual tax of five mills was added for the state. The county commissioners, in making their announcement, declared that the tax figures had been “cut to the bone” and were three mills be low the previous estimate.

This section is now producing a great deal of honey but the production can be increased ten fold if our peo ple would become w'erested and prepare for it properly. \ , New crops and new industries are coming into the . agriculturHl field so rapidlyj|ti:i»'like making a for tune over night. Our resources are so great and plentiful there is no limit to the opportunities' for making one if we apply ourselves, , t j/ ; j Since our people have realized that they can mako a living without planting cotton as a solo depirid- 1 once, they have found so many other avenues open for development that it is just a matter of choice of which they will take. Poultry, hogs and cattle rais ing ore among the most profitable, and then there fa peanuts and tobacco, alfalfa, foodstuff of all kind; sweet and Irish potatoes especially arc in demand the year round in all parts of the country. Under the diversification system of farming th/ere is not a month in the year but that some crop can be pro duced which fa a,ready money crop. In fact there fa no linp of business which offers more opportunities for money-making than agricultural pursuits. The man who owns his farm and is not nfraid of work . has safer opportunities to make money than has the banker or merchant. -r ’The young man who enters the field of agriculture has brighter prospects before him to amass a for-, tune than tnosc entering any line of commercial pur suits. Farming is'a safer business, oven with boll weevil conditions, than the average commercial in dustry. There fa less chance to lose on the 'farm than there fa in financial investment jn stocks, bonds and merchandise. Farming is the coming business for the .nation nnd especially in the south. . Its re sources are unlimited and scarcely developed. Suc cess in life nwaits the young man who chooses farm ing for his life Work. 8EA-FEVER It*s well knowq that I’ve often planned To atart out for some foreign land, Across the wathers smooth and blue.

PEPPER RAISING PROFITABLE CROP Uutts county farmers have chipped several car loads of pimento peppers this season, from which t they have realized practically $65,000. The aver- g age yield to the acre is two and a half tons and the | contract price was $30 per ton. Early in the year a packing house in Macon con- I traded with the farmers of Butts county to plant i 1,500 acres in peppers. It was a new crop for the [ farmers in that county, but they undertook the cul tivation of peppers and the result for this year fa nv>it gratifying. It is understood that the acreage will be greatly increased another year and it is be- _!ieved that the pepper crop will prove a more profit- jjjjHae one than the cotton crop. Hi pepers can be grown successfully in Butts, ccr- ^Wainly they can be grown successfully in this and ad it joining counties. It is the opportune time for our w people to investigate contracts for next year and in ft each county in this section the crop can be made a E profitable on* Placing such contracts would be timely work for the Athens Chamber of Commerce which could act as a clearing house for this entire section and arrange for the distribution of the pepper crop through packing houses and other agencies. Pepper prrowing in this section is worth investi gating. It can be made a profitable industry and create a new ready money crop for this section. DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU?

IDKen you run out of Gasoline / there is a most effective danger signal to warn you—your car comes to a stop with out any particular amount of damage being done. It is different when you run out of lubricating oil in your motor: there are no warning signals, nothing to flag your attention until great damage has been done. f The greatest single factor in the eco nomical and efficient operation of a motor car is the proper lubrication ofite engine.. Sufficient quantity, the right quality, the proper weight or grade, and the frequent replacement of oil are the things you want to watch. You can solve all these problems by putting nothing in your crank case but Polarine, consulting the chart of recom mendations to determine just what grade your car requires, and renewing your oil completely after it has been used for six or seven hundred miles.' There is no variation in the qualify of Polarine. Wherever you see a dealer who displays a Polarine sign, you may feel as sured that you can get there the finest motor oil on the market to-day.
