nnbbi Shlnetflldg of Patterson,
N. J„ will hold services at the He
brew Synagogue here Wednesday
evening at 8 o’clock and Thursday
morning at 10:15 in observance of
yom Klppur.
The folowlng announcement of
the service was Issued Monday:
"Beginning Wednesday evening,
and continuing until sunset, the
Day of Atoijcment, called In He
brew, Yom Klppur, will be observ
ed* by all the Jewish people of the
world as the holiest day ot the
Synagog. Everywhere on this day

fasting and abstalnlnw from all
worldly thoughts they will sock to
cleanse their hearts of sin and by
true reentance become one with
God* that they may the better ful-
till their duties and discharge their
responsibilities toward; humanity.
"The Day of Atonement la men
tioned In the Bible In an umber
of places. In Leviticus XVI tho
elaborate priestly ceremonial of
atonement Is described. In Levlfl-
cua 23:26-32, Yom Klppur Is rep
resented as a sort of Sabbath of
Solemn Rest wbereoa^ the people
shall afflict their souls. One of the
traditional observances of. this day.
namely, fasting, Is traced to early
times when the hlgb-priest was
the central figure of tho ritual.
Atonement was particularly
provement In South Carolina and
upper Georgia. Sugar cane is nol
up to the average. 4
Fruit
The fruit crop has deteriorated
In North Carolina. The Georgia
commercial apple erap Is still fair.
The movement ot chf ug from south
Florida will soon begin. Rain is
needed over the entire citrus belt.
East coast pineapple acreage is on
the increase. Florida growers are
preparing for a heavy strawberry
acreage.
Truck Cropa
Truck crops are generally good
In North Carolina. There will^te an
increased acreage of snap beans it
Florida. Watermelons are verj
poor in Tennessee.
Potatoes
Sweet potatoes arc - lookiag un
usually well, but the yields are not
equal to api>eorances. Fall Irlsl. 1
potatoes are progressing splendi
ly, but are beginning to need* rub-
in north Georgia.
Livestock
Alabama hog receipts are heav
ier than IgRt year, probably due to
scarcity of feed. Tennessee live
stock is in splendid shape.
Miscellaneous
Cooperative market associations
are active. Prosiwcts ore now fa
vorable. The labor situation Is
gradually becoming worse In Geor
gia. It Is generally short in the
southeast, but owing to the small
cotton crop is usually sufficient to
gather the cotton. Farmers are do
ing as much of their own work ns
possible. Where the cotton crop Is
poor, and where there 1s no other
money crop, the financial condition
Is becoming acute. Unde* these
conditions many are discontinuing
farming In Georgia.

“An eminent Englishman, the

general, said of our Constitution:
‘The Constitution of 1789 deserves
the veneration with which the
Americans have been accustomed
to regard it it ranks above

for the intrineic excellence of ite
scheme, its adaptation to the cir

“Great, however, as are the
merits of this fundamental law,
described by an. eminent English
statesman as ‘the most wonderful
work ever (truck off ut a given
time by the brain and purpose of
man,’ it must draw its sustenance,
its living force from the people. It
was conceived by virile, high-

to exist because it has had the
eupport of .men who were worthy

Is _the map of the world to be
"banged, whole continents ? iped
out and new continents created in
a Second Deluge?
Dr. Milton A. Nobles, geologist
i..d student of earthquake and vol
canic phenomena, thinks so.
More than a year ago 1 , in a New
York newspaper, he predicted a
series of disasters In a “death belt’’
he traced through Italy, Dalmatia,
Asia iMInor, Persia, India, Japan
and Siberia—the exact spots where
most of the big earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions of the year
have occurred!
And now Dr. Nobles sees these
events—within 10 years:
Oceans engulfing ail Europe, half
of Asia, part of Africa, and part
of North America.
New'lands rising to double the
area of the western hemisphere in
one great American continent and
joining Australia nnd New Zealand
In a continent three times their

"Continual readjustment of the
earth’s is crust will open a chasm
beneath the sea that will connect
with the fires beneath the surface
In this doomed belt.
‘.‘This will cause the: formation
of steam, and the enormous pres-
surse thus generated will literally
blow up continents and submerge
them. i
“As the water rushes Into the .a
holes, oceans will bo lowered in
their present bed's, causing new
lands to emerge
“This change is merely the plan
of nature to maintain an ever fer-
tle world. When lands through cen
turies of use becomo barren and
overpopulated nature destroys
them, and brings Into being lands
re-vitalized and re-fertilized by
centuries of submersion.
Dr. Nobles, who has spent 25
years In thit study df volcanic and
carthquako phenomena, is known
In Philadelphia as tho “hermit
scientist.” He lives In seclusion
nnd spends his days poring over
books and map^ in a dark little
offico in Sansome street.

George Washington spent much
of his time at Kenmore, and with
the completion of the purchase
the property will become a national
shrine, and in the meantime. It will
be open to the public. Its location
on the Dixie Highway, running
south from Washington, makes it
easily accessible. ,
The salvaging of Kenmore was
made the subject of a speech by
President Coolldge In Fredericks-.
bprg last year, In which he said:»
Kenmore should bo saved for Its 1
own sake, but it must be aaved for 11
patriotic America.” I,
Athens women had a part In the,
preservation of Kenmore and the
announcement tipU it has been
opened will be of Interest.
