Hotel Maid Finds
$243,000 In Bonds
Of Unknown Owner
Chicago, Auk. 13—Bonds valued ai
1*43 ,000, of a Birmingham, Ala., in
vestment company, were found in a
room at the Lexington Hotel by a
maid. The bonds were wrapped in
a newspaper. The room was rented
by a man who registered as S. M.
Anderson, of Memphis, Tenn. The
bonds were taken in custody by Her
man Muck, hotel manager.
Matk was starting to remove them
to a bank when a stranger walked into
the room. He said his name was
Emerson, and he was an attorney of
Memphis.
He claimed the bonds were the
property of William Reid, one of his
clients. Neither Anderson or Emer
son would make any explanation of
how the bonds happened to be in the
hotel room.
Mack nor police to whom he told of
the incident could offer any explana
tion today. The bonds were given
into custody of Mack’s attorneys
pending the investigation.

restaurant owners didn't want to
serve them, or because their patrons
would not eat them. It was because
they could not get them throughout
the year.
“They all said sweet potatoes were

how they liked them, and that they
properly, there will always be a hig
her demand for them than the state

Mr. Bingham said that in Washing
ton county, the Washington County
Farm Bureau had signed up a total
of 31,000 bushels of sweet potatoes,
which would be marketed through
the sweet potato division of the
i i vis ion of the Georgia Farm Bureau
Marketing Exchange. This county
exchange, according to state farm bu
reau officials, is the first completed
unit in the sweet potato organization,
but that many more were now being
formed and would affiliate with the
exchange.
“In our county,” Mr. Bingham con
tinued, “we have agreed to spend
three cents per bushel on advertising
and about the first or middle of Sep
tember, we will send two women dem
onstrators to the middle west to ad
vertise Georgia sweet potatoes. We
want to tell the world of the value
of sweet potatoes.” ,
Mr. Bingham said the only certain
way to cure potatoes so that they
might be stored and kept in good
condition indefinitely, was by the
kiln-drying method. He said that a
recent big shipment of kiln-dried
sweet potatoes were sent from Geor

want rotten or frost bitten potatoes,
but they want good ones.”
Mr. Bjngham said he found another
reason why sweet potatoes were not
popular,' was mainly because people
throughout the middle west did not
known about them, how to prepare
them, or of their food value.
“We should advertise our Georgia
sweet potatoes,” he continued. “Ad
vertising will market Georgia sweet
potatoes, and once they get marketed.

He said in Washington county, the

Mr. Bingham said, “and in Washing
