JEFFERSON, GA., OCT. 25, 1934.
EVERY PERSON SHOULD
VISIT THE HOME ECO
NOMiC DISPLAY SAT.
Miss Leila Bates, the Home
Demonstration Agent for Jackson !
county, and the Home Demonstra
tion Club and 4-H Club members
will stage in Jefferson on next Sat
urday an exhibit of articles that re
present the projects undertaken by
each club. The exhibits will be dis
played in the windows of the store
buildings and will attract wide-spread
attention and interest. Every citi
zen of the county should see this ex
hibit and understand the fine work
being done by these clubs. Many
think Home Economics is just a fad
or frill in the educational program, J
but if they will acquaint themselves i
with the results they will find that it
is a strategic point in raising the
standard of living.
There are 6,000,000 farm homes
in the United States. Home Econo
mics, as presented by home demon
stration and 4-H clubs, makes the
families happier, more comfortable
and more prosperous. Home mak
ing is the biggest business in the
world, the most far reaching and
powerful. 6
Miss Bates, in her leadership a
mong the club members of the coun
ty, is endeavoring to instill the high
est ideals for the home-maker in
meeting the problems of family life,
and in this she deserves the co-oper
ation and encouragement of every
person.
Visit the exhibits on Saturday,
and extend to those responsible for
the display a glad hand of welcome
and a hearty expression of good will
and encouragement.
A speaker at a recent meeting
said, "Home economics not only
teaches the child food selection and
preparation, clothing selection and
construction, management of the
home, care of children, responsibili
ties and relations in the home, and
provides occupation for leisure time,
but also develops wholesome atti
tudes and better judgments in de
veloping the child’s own life, con
duct, and relations in the home and
community.”
COMMUNIST SCHOOL TEACHER
Four alleged Communists were ar
rested in Decatur last week and
bound over to the grand jury of De-
Kalb county. An alarming aspect
■of the raid and arrests is that one
•of those arrested. Mrs. R. W. Ailing,
in whose home was found the great
er part of the Red literature cap
tured by the police, is a supply teach
er in Atlanta public schools. This
literature consisted largely of the
“free love" type of stutf that is all
too frequeWt these days, and much
of it was downright propaganda for
Communism, which means advocacy
of the overthrow of the American
government by force.
The Macon News says: "It would
be bad enough to find this kind of
literature in the home of a woman
in the ordinary walks of life, but
when we think that Communism
stands for the destruction of the
home, of morality, the church and
all that is fine for which American
ism stands, and to which the vast
majority of the people of Georgia
are devoted, it is disconcerting to
think that such a woman has the
shaping of the minds and characters
of Rchool children in her power.
Whether she boldly advocates Com
mouism or seeks to weaken the char
acter of the children by more subtle
infiltrations of the Communistic doc
trine makes but little difference. If
the charges made against her are
true —and we have no disposition to
try her case in the newspapers— it
is an ominous situation when the
holder and disseminator of such
opinions has a place of authorities
in our public school system.’
If your young son or daughter. ;
under fourteen years of age. per
sists in being on the streets after
nine at night, you might follow the
example set by the town council in
Edwardsville, Pa. In that city the
punishment for a boy or girl out
later is a dose of castor oil taken
in the town hall, one ounce for the
first violation, two for the second,
and three for the third. It is said
that this punishment has caused the
violations diminish rapidly.

Other changes noted in the news
paper field are: Frank J. Linch, who
for the past several years has been
in charge of the Crawfordville Advo
cate-Democrat, has purchased and
consolidated the McDonough Adver
tiser and the Henry County News’

cident several months ago, and will

DEMOCRATS MAY INCREASE
THEIR STRENGTH IN CONGRESS
Chairman Farley, of the National
Democratic Committee, is hopeful of
a land-slide for the Democratic
party in the November election.
He believes that instead of losing
members of both branches of Con
gress, the results of the election
will show a considerable increase in
the Democratic party’s strength this
fall.
The present Congress is made up
of thirty-five Republicans in the
Senate and one hundred and four
teen in the House. The Democrats
have sixty members in the Senate
and three hundred and nine mem
bers in the House. The Farm La
borities have one member in the
Senate and five in the House. There
are seven seats to be filled, caused
by deaths and resignations. Of the
thirty-five Republican seats in the
Senate, sixteen will be contested in
the November elections. While it
was first believed by the Democrats
that they would lose about forty
House seats, they insisted that they
would retain all their strength in
the Senate.

which the ladies are asking the peo
ple to set out these trees in yards,

price of 8 cents each if as many as
one thousand are purchased.

IMPROVEMENTS MADE BY CITY
ADMINISTRATION
The present city administration is
to be congratulated for again turn
ing on all the city lights. Those who
walk the streets at night are no long
er in danger of stepping off the
sidewalks because of darkness. There
has been some criticism of the may
or and council for cutting out so
many lights during the past few
months, but they had a splendid ex
cuse for their acts—the city was in
debt; and to pay these debts, eco
nomy had to be practiced. The only
way to reduce indebtedness is to cut
down expenses.
Since the beginning of the year
the city administration has done
many things for which it should re
ceive the commendation of the peo
ple.
First. All past due bills owed by
the city have been paid.
Second. An athletic field has
been secured, and the street to the
field is being graded. The field is to
the rear of the Institute building,
and the new street runs through
from the rear of the dormitory to
the Scout Hut.
Third. A tennis court has been
graded on the school campus.
Fourth. A rock wall has been
built on upper end of Institute cam
pus near dormitory.
Fifth. AH electric lights have
been ordered turned on until March,
1935.
Sixth. Sidewalk from Washing
ton street to Methodist church has
been paved, and further paving is to
be done at an early date.
Seventh. Market value of bonds
have been increased to sllO.
Eighth. A slaughter house will be
erected according to the latest and
best approved plans.
75,000 legionaires are in Miami
this week attending the national con
vention. Following President Roose
velt’s recent expression that it was
the wish of the administration that
the veterans would not go on record
as favoring an immediate cash bo
nus, U. S. Senator Steiwer of Port
land, Ore., a World War veteran who
voted in 1932 for the "immediate”
payment of the bonus, spoke before
the convention favoring "early” pay
ment. “I am doubtful,” he said, “of
the ethics of able-bodied men mak
ing a demand for immediate cash
payment of claims not yet due when
many of them can well afford to wait
for payment until the payments ma
ture.”
President Roosevelt says because
a person is on the relief rolls is no
excuse for calling him a "pauper.”
This remark was occasioned by the
fact that in twelve different states
action has been taken to keep from
voting all American citizens listed
on “relief rolls” on the ground that
“as paupers” they should not vote.
President Roosevelt denounces as
un-American any such procedure.
No man out of work but willing to
work can be called a pauper, says
the President.

BARTHELMESS LEARNS TO
SPEAK INDIAN LANGUAGE
They won’t laugh when Dick sits
down and orders a heap big meal iii
Sioux.
Richard Barthelmess, who plays
the part of an Indian in the First
National picture, "Massacre,” which
comes to the Roosevelt Theatre on
Tuesday, learned enough of the
Sioux language in the six weeks he
was working on the picture to carry
6* a conversation in that tongue.
• His diction is a long way from per
fection, but he is readily under
standable, according to Chief Stand
ing Bear of the Sioux tribe, who act
ed as technical director on the pic
ture.
Barthelmess became greatly inter
ested in Indian lore and Indian lan
guage while working on the picture,
so he engaged Big Tree, one of the
Indians who plays in the picture, to
teach him the language. Big Tree,
descendant of Chief Crazy Horse,
who conducted the Custer massacre,
hung around Dick's dressing room
when not working and the two jab
bered away in Injum. Ugh! Ugh!
Editor Ed Caldwell of the Wal
ton News was in a happy mood last
week because so many of his sub
scribers had called to renew their
subscriptions. However, a few, he
said, were still in arrears, and he
gave expression to a thought that
would fit almost every newspaper
office when he said, "If all who owe
us would kindly settle, we could hide
a multitude of unseemly situations.”

THURSDAY, ocTft^.l
Rev. A. J. Johnson, former pastor
of the Jefferson Baptist church, and
at present pastor of the Cornelia
Baptist churhh, recently delivered a
sermon before the Tugalo Associ
ation on “The Most Common Sin
Among God’s People.” This sin is
withholding from God that which
rightfully belongs to Him and using
it for one’s own selfish purposes.
“Not bridge playing,” said Pastor
Johnson, “not drinking to excess, not
dancing, but keeping back what i3
rightfully God’s is doing more to
hinder Kingdom progress than any
other particular sin of the day. The
fact that the tenth is holy unto the
Lord has not been changed. Rend
ering unto God at .a tenth of
all material increase is plainly
taught in both Old and New Testa
ments.”
United States Attorney General
Cummings has inaugurated a move

For that purpose he has called a

from municipal police departments,
sheriffs and other state officers along
with federal secret service officers.
It is the purpose of Attorney Gen
eral Cummings to secure an organiz
