WORLD TRAVELER PICKS
GEORGIA
QC yr .
(From Savannah News)
Corroborating the opinion of
many others that GWrgi* is an ideal
spot in which to abide Capt. Harold
A. White, SJtplorer, big
ipunt' hunter and former all-Ameri
can football plajutar iaw* recently
purchased 2,500 acre* of land near
Thoniasville and KsA announced his
intentions of spending the rest of his
life there hunting, cattle raising and
farming. He has Feachud this de
cision after fourteen, years of travel
in practically all parts of the globe.
Reports state thit Captain and
Mrs. White were attracted to this
state when they caiiie to Georgia a
bout two months ago, on their honey
moon. The captain, who hunted
wild unimals in European jungles
for the Field Museum in Chicago for
fourteen years, brought to Georgia
two truckloads of trophies obtained
on his many expeditions. He is six
aind a half feet in height and served
as captain to the famous 1916 Syra
cuse football team, which is‘credited
with winning nineteen games in a
single season, and he was an all-
Aimiican tackle for two years. He
was an officer in the United States
rmy during the world war. He is
extremely air-minded and pilots his
\vn plane. It is indeed complimen
tary to Georgia to have a man who
has been all over the world say that
he finds this the best place in which
to live.
A southwest Georgia paper, in
writing up the death of a citizen,
ssaki: “In his death his lodge lost an
ctxemplary member, the widow and
children a loving and tender husband
and father, this paper a three years’
subscription, and Sears & Roebuck
a damn good customer.” —Darien Ga

To strengthen the work of the
phony peach eradication campaign,
the Civil Works Administration has
approved a project for the destruc
tion of wild peach trees in forty-five
poach producing counties of Geor
gia. where the phony disease is so
serious as to threaten the future of
the peach industry. Jackson coun
ty is included in this project.
A cut averaging 12 per cent in the
rate that the Georgia Power Com
pany charges the 49 municipalities
of the state which buy power whole
sale was tentatively agreed on at a
conference between representatives
of the Company and of the cities.
Among the municipalities affected
by the reduction are: Braselton,
Commerce, Hoschton and Maysville.
A person who grows vegetables in
■his garden at this season of the year
like the ones brought to our office
by Mr. W. H. Deavors has nothing
to fear from the depression. Mr.
Deavors, who is one of the promi
nent, well known citizens of the
southern section of the county, call
ed Monday to renew his subscription,
and incidentally brought along as
proof of his prowess as a gardener
eollards, mustard and lettuce, that
would do honor to a garden in May.
We have seen no garden with finer
or more luxuriant green, growing
vegetables. •

thinking and therefore of many of
our aocial and economic arrange

“I continue in my conviction that
industrial progress and prosperity

“I have made it clear that the
United Stales cannot take part in
political arrangements in Europe but
that we stand ready to co-operate at

“We have been shocked by many
notorious examples of injuries done

the real victim in every case is the
public itself."

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
CALCIUM NEEDED
POULTRYMAN SAYS
Athens, Ga.—Arthur Gannon, ex
tension poultryman, the University
System of Georgia, this week com
mented as follows on the diet need
ed by laying hens:
hens require calcium for
their egg shells in addition to the
calcium for their other body needs
and it is therefore necessary to sup
ply it in a form they can use.
Crushed oyster shells are probably
best for this purpose, although lime
stone grit is used in some sections
of the country. In Georgia, how
ever, oyster shell is generally pre
ferred.
“With the small farm flock, when
the hens are running on free range,
sufficient egg shell-forming material
will probably be picked up, but
where the hens are confined to hous
es or yards it is essential to have
crushed oyster shell before them all
the time. A convenient method of
supplying this is to tack a box on
the wall a few inches above the floor
and keep it filled.
“Oyster shell for chickens can be
purchased from most feed stores in
100-pound hags, or in smaller quan
tities. It is inexpensive and will
add little to feed costs since one hen
will eat only about 3 pounds a year.
“Experiments have shown that a
lack of oyster shell in the ration
wilt cause three things: The hens
will lay fewer eggs. The eggs will be
smaller in size. The shells of the
eggs will be thin. Be sure to pro
vide your hens with a supply of oys
ter shell and see that they are
never out of it* even for a day.”
“Peach trees with a heavy crop
of fruit buds may be pruned heavier
than trees having a short crop,” Geo.
H. Firor, extension horticulturist,
the University System of Georgia,
says. “The removal of too much
wood from a bearing peach tree will
seriously affect the yield. The peach
tree needs to be pruned to produce
fruit and not to control the market.”
MRS. BRYAN’S VERSE
The world is so beautiful,
Don’t you love it all?
The wind in the pine trees,
The blue bird’s sweet call,
Mountains towering up so high,
Moon and stars in the night sky?
The world is so beautiful,
Don’t you think ’tis true?
Verdant hills and valleys,
Sunsets ever new,
Good books to read whate’er betide,
And loyal friends for our fireside?
Written for my friend, Mrs. J. W.
Gholston, at Rabun Gap, Ga., Au
gust, 1933.

ONE MORNING AT INDIAN .
GAP, TENN.
Above the world
1 look out into space,
Nothing but fog,
Scarce can I see my husband’s face.
Then—from out the nowhere
A mountain peak appears;
Serene and towering,
A monument of th*e years.
From the void abodt me
More majesty is born;
I feel like a witness
Of the creation morn.
At last above the verdant slopes,
I see the sun begin to shine,
Thankful and happy am I
That such a privilege is mine.
Lincoln McConnell, state director
of ro-employment, announced Satur
day that the government is spending
considerably more than a million
dollars weekly in Georgia in CWA
projects. 86,000 are at work, but
there are yet jobs to be found for
200,000 more men. Mr. McConnell
estimates that it will cost $3,000,-
000 weekly to give work to all the
jobless in the state. “Conditions,"
says Mr. McConnell, “May improve
by late spring to the point where
substantial numbers will be absorb
ed from our unemployed ranks for
private jobs, but the situation mean
while is acute for nearly all these
people."
At a meeting of the stock holders
of the Peoples Bank in Winder, Mr.
J. W. McWhorter was re-elected
president; and Mr. C. O. Maddox,
cashier. The bank declared an 8
per cent dividend.
Rumor persists that President
Roosevelt will soon appoint Senator
Walter F. George to the United
States Supreme Court.
PARITY PRICE REAL
COTTON PLAN GOAL
Return to a “parity” or “fair
share” price for cotton is the real
goal of the national cotton produc
tion adjustment program, according
to W. Hill Hosch, Jackson county
agricultural agent. The campaign is
now in progress.
Parity price means a price which
will give a bale of cotton the same
buying power it had in the pre-war
period, 1910-1924. In other words,
a price which will make it impossible
to buy as much with a bale of cotton
as a farmer could buy with a bale of
cotton before the war.
Just what this price will be at any
given . time will depend upon the
price levels of the things a cotton
grower has to buy. If the price of
shoes and tools and other retail
goods is up, the price of cotton will
have to he correspondingly high in
order to bring the cotton grower
“parity.”
The relationship between the price
of cotton and the price levels of oth
er commodities is what counts. To
bring back this fair buying power
relationship for cotton is the basic
purpose of the Government cotton
program.
The cotton plan makes it possible
for the growers of the country to
cut down their production, in order
to lower existing surpluses and work
back toward “parity” price levels.
And the rental and benefit payments
make it possible for them to reduce
production without loss of immediate
income.

A newspaper headline seen in
many papers says: “Georgia State
Expenses $6,500,000 Less in 1933.”
This statement is very misleading.
The expenses were not less, but the
revenue was. Because the tax pay
ers failed to supply the cash, the ex
penses were automatically reduced.
Most of us reduced our expenses in
the same manner.
The Governor has come out pret
ty plainly saying he is saving up
Georgia highway funds to be divert
ed to other purposes when the legis
lature authorizes him to do so. Wc
can’t think a legislature that would
do that would be representing the
people.—Oglethorpe Echo.

“CALL A SPADE, A SPADE”!
MAE WEST SAYS FILM PUBLIC
DEMANES LIFE’S PLAIN FACTS
Calling attention to an amazing
swing-about in the moral view-point
of the cinema, Mae West, the
screen’s newest sensation, whose sec
ond starring picture of Paramount,
“I’m No Angel” will open at the
Roosevelt Theatre Thursday, believes
that the American people have
reached that time in their consider
ation of life and love when they
want to hear a spade called a spade.
She cites the sensational success
of her last film, “She Done Him
Wrong,” as an argument in proof of
her belief.
Miss West asserts, however, that
the public is uninterested in sex,
crudely presented. It wants laughs,
comedy and wit along with it, she
theorizes, and that’s what she aims
to give ’em in her pictures and plays.
Mae exemplifies her theories in
“I’m No Angel,” and originall story.
In it, she portrays a circus lion
tamer, hardboiled, ambitious, cap
tivator of man after man. But when
the film ends she has one man for
keeps, a millionaire bachelor, “tall,
dark and handsome” Cary Grant.
The picture was directed by Wesley
Ruggles.
In her exposition of the constant
THURSDAY, JANUARY I|,
sinner with a pearly smile, whose
lovemaking harvests diamonds, mas
culine adulation, triumph and glory,
Miss West has created a revolution
ary screen type.
The screen has boasted many
“bad women” from the days of
Theda Bara. But they sinned in a
heavy, sultry manner, and they al
ways paid! But Mae West always
gets her man. Regardless of her
transgressions, she comes out on top!
“That’s the way it often works
out in life,” Mae avers. “The mov
ies, in picturing erring women as
doomed to suffer heartbreak and
misery, have been only half right
Maybe years ago that situation pre
vailed. But not today. People are
more broadminded. They have
more tolerance and charity. More
understanding of life.”
