ONE DAY OF BIG , CHAUTAUQUA REMAINS Only one day of Hartwell’s annual Chautauqua remains,—and there are two of the best programs on this Thursday that have yet been present ed by the White & Brown company of Kansas City, Mo. Fine Program 4 P. M. W At 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon the boys and girls of Hartwell and community will present a pageant under the direction of Miss Price, of Northwestern University, Chicago. They have been preparing for this event since the Chautauqua opened last Saturday and this alone will be well worth coming miles to see. In addition to this, a feature of the afternoon program will be the lecture, in costume, by Miss Sumayeh k Attiyeh, formerly of Skria. Miss Attiyeh is recognized as a speaker of great ability and her mes sage will be looked forward to by our people. Closes With Big Program. On this Thursday evening, begin ning at 8:30, the Chautauqua comes to a close with a program that prom ises to draw a packed tent. The Stone-Platt Co., gloom chasers and fun makers extraordinary, will have charge in a program that guar antees everyone something to laugh and think about. Hartwell has enjoyed the Chau tauqua this year very much. The platform manager, Mr. W. A. Lint ner, is from Kansas City, Mo., and has made many warm friends here, as have, also, the other members of the crew, Mr. B. T. Cahoon, of Chatta nooga, Tenn., and Mr. Ralph Riggins, f of Kansas City. The personnel of the White & Brown system is of the highest type, and their attractions have been ex cellent all the way through. 0 Elephants do not reach complete maturity until the age of forty.

Her life story thrills with adventure, and her ac complishments under difficulties are a compelling inspiration to all who hear her. GASOLINE GOES VP CENT Gasoline now costs you exactly 27 cents per gallon, taking a rise last Monday of one cent at all the Hartwell stations. First intimation of the rise came from officials of the Standard Oil company who stated that the ad vance will apply to all states in this territory, which includes Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Kentucky. Higher prices in other states and advances in the price of crude oil were given as the reasons for the action. o Many Farmers Over Georgia Joining Cotton Association; Officials Happy Over Outlook As it nears the close of its third year, the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Cooperative association is receiving important additions to its member ships, according to an announcement from Atlanta. Officials announce that in the past five weeks more than 1,000 cotton producers have signed contracts to market all their cotton through the association for five years. These new members furnish an in teresting study of the growth of the cooperative marketing movement in the state, in that they range from the smallest and humblest farmers to the great producers who handle thou sands of acres. Officials Elated. Officials of the association are ] elated by the recognition given the ; association by the larger cotton pro ducers. As a general thing the big scale farmers are better able to fi nance their operations than the more humble producers and therefore are | able to sell according to their judg ment of the market. It was felt that the association at the start would have to depend largely on small-scale producers for the great part of its cotton, since a scientific selling system was their im perative need. But the larger farmers, after watching and waiting for three years, now’ are indicating* their approval of the principles and management of the association by signing contracts, many of them coming in without so licitation, the officials state. 0 Important Meeting On Highway Route Atlanta, Ga., June 3.—The desig nation of important interstate roads in the southern states will be deter mined at a meeting of state highway officials of these states to be held in Atlanta on June 8. These roads will be uniformly marked as United States highways. The Atlanta meeting is the out come of the initial conference of the joint board of interstate highways composed of state and federal high way officials which was held in Washington April 20-21. Regional meetings have already been held in Kansas City, Chicago, and San Francisco, and the Atlanta conference will be followed with sim ilar meetings in New York and Bos ton which will have as their purpose the selection of important interstate roads to be known as United States highways. The selected routes will be desig nated, it is said, by a number and marked uniformly in all states with a standard marker. Each of the state highway departments will pre sent at the conference a map showing the routes within the state which in the opinion of the department, should be selected, and this will be the basis for the selection of the routes, it is said. State highway officials from Geor gia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Mississ ippi, Virginia and West Virginia, will be present at the Atlanta meet ing, it is said by Georgia highway of ficials. It was pointed out by officials here that the proposal to designate impor tant interstate roads was the result of discussion initiated by the Amer ican Association of State Highway Officials at the annual meeting of the association held in San Francisco last year, when the secretary of agricul ture was asked to name a joint board ‘ to consider the question. At the Atlanta meetings, as has , been the custom at previous meetings held in other parts of the country, proposals with respect to the form and color of warning and directional signs for the interstate roads will be presented to the highway officials for their consideration. o The longer a man follows the races the farther they get ahead of him.— Bridgeport Post. o Constant exposure to gasoline fumes is one of the apparent causes of cancer, according to physicians who have studied and specialized in ! this disease. o British princes and princesses can not marry under the age of twenty five without the king’s consent.

The very fact that there are wi , zards in the employ of the Post Of fice Department—men and women . who are uncanny, to say the least, in deciphering illegible hand-writing —has caused no end of trouble and ' expense to the government as well as , to the taxpayer, along with incon , venience in the receipt and delivery of mail matter. ' Yet, with all this expert handling , and careful study of hand-writing ! on the part of the postal clerks the , annual revenue from dead mail mat , ter received by the government amounts to approximately $300,000. Last year, the Dead Letter Office received $120,000 from the sale of , orphaned packages which could nei , ther be forwarded to the addresses nor returned to the senders because of inadequate addresses. The same office turned into the United States , Treasury $55,523.96 in cash removed , from misdirected letters or found ' loose in the mails. Postage stamps were taken from letters or found loose in the mails I having a value of $12,165.67, almost . double the entire revenue of the pos i tai service in 1789. Three-cent fees collected for the return to senders of letters which . could not be delivered totaled $92,- 007.54. But this is not half the story. , Checks, drafts and money orders, whose owners could not be located, ’ and amounting to $3,546,542.54 fi nally found a resting place in the Dead Letter Office. For want of correct or complete r addresses 21,000,000 letters were de i posited in the Dead Letter Office, not to speak of 800,000 parcels which i had been improperly addressed or ' wrapped. Strange to say, this depositing of . letters and packages in the mails . with incomplete, inadequate or in . correct addresses and wrapping • comes, in a large majority of cases, from those patrons who are the most liberal-contributors to this branch of the United States Government. It has been estimated by postal of . ficials that 200,000,000 pieces of mail . are given “directory service’’ every i year, which means that employees . must take time from the regular , handling and dispatching of mail in the endeavor to provide correct ad dresses for this huge volume of mis directed matter. In New York City, alone, the cost of this service ap . proximates SSOO every day in the . year and the total amount through . the country is stupendous. While the revenue from the Dead i Letter Office is sufficient to keep that branch of the postal service functioning it is not nearly enough to pay the annual toll for support of l the “NIXIE.” A “NIXIE” is a letter or parcel , so improperly addresse<l that it can neither be delivered to the addressee i nor returned to the sender without special treatment. This special treat ment costs the Post Office Depart ment or the tax payer in the final analysis, approximately $1,740,000 every year. In order to lift this tremendous burden from the shoulders of the Post Office Department and on the pocketbook of the American people, the first week in June has been set aside by Postmaster General New as “Better Mailing Week.” An active, nation-wide campaign will be con ducted during that period for the pur pose of impressing on the mailer the necessity- from every viewpoint of using more care in the addressing of his mail, not only letters but parcels as well. o I********** NEW HARMONY »»*•**•*** The farmers are busy on their farms.

Marshall Died Suddenly Washington, D. C.—Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, war time vice president under Woodrow Wilson, died here Monday of a heart attack. Death laid its hand on him sud denly, just as he apparently was recovering from illness of a week's duration. He passed away without a word and without evidence of pain as he was sitting propped up in bed, reading from the Bible. Tentative plans were made for a funeral at Indianapolis, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, in which he held high degrees. Burial will probably be at Marion, Indiana. Accompanied by his wife, .Mr. Marshall came to Washington a week ago Monday. On his arrival he went directly to the hotel com plaining of great exhaustion. When physicians were summoned it was found he had suffered from a heart attack. He regained strength grad ually and soon was in such a condi tion that it was possible for Mrs. Marshall to leave the bedsjde.
