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 tho Jews will assemble in their houses e? worship. A"i for getful of the hustling world ovlsldt In meditation and in prayer, by 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.

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 present size. • Shifting tho earth, on Its axis, with a new North.
