JEFFERSON. GA., FEB. 14. 1935.
TAXES COST MORE THAN POOD
,l+ t ‘
What is the largest item in your
family’s budget?
If you answer food, clothing,
rent or similar expenses, on which
you spend the bulk of your income
directly, you’ll be wrong. Taxes are
the largest item of expense carried
by the American people—and they
lead their nearest competitor by a
wide margin.
Food, the most vital of all necessi
ties, costs the nation $7,000,000,000
a year. Clothing takes $3,600,000,-
000. Kent also takes $3,600,000,000,
and automobiles dent the national
pocketbook to the extent of $2,900,-
000,000. Electric service costs Unit
ed States’ families only $650,000,-
C'oo.
The national tax bill, by compari
son, is $9,000,000,000- a billion and
a half greater than the national food
bill. That being the case, where is
the most important place to start in
to reduce the cost of living?
These figures will come as a sur
prise to the average citizen, who
thinks only of the sums of money he
spends directly in the course of day
by day living. What he should real
ize is that taxation now represents
an exorbitant part of the cost of
everything.
A cut in the coyt of government
would be directly and immediately
reflected in a lowermost of living—
and in stimulated employment, in
vestment and industrial expansion.
No other cost weighs so heavily on
individuals and bugfifesaes alike—no
other family living tOrpehse is rising
so rapidly. It is a historical fact
that extravagant government pro
motes depression and discord.
With bills pending in the Georgia
legislature legalizing liquor, horse
racing and easy divorce, it is time
the good people of the state were
rising in their might to battle for
the right—Pickens bounty Progress.
NOTABLE DAYS IN FEBRUARY
February has a number of notable
days that are marked in red figures
on the calendar. First comes "Ground
Hog Day," when the little wood
chuck peeps from his hibernating
quarters, and, if he sees his shadow,
returns for a stay of six more weeks.
February 12 is "Georgia Day,"
and also Lincoln’s birthday.
“St. Valentine’s Day," February
14, is a date set apart in commemor
ation of St. Valentine, a Christian
martyr of the third century, and a
day that birds begin to mate', hence,
the custom of sending love notes and
valentines.
“Washington's birthday,” a date
well known to all historians as the
anniversary of the birth of the
“Father of Our Country,” comes on
the 22.
Jeffersonians should feel an espe
cial interest in “Georgia Day, be
cause the idea was originated by a
beautiful young lady, Miss Nina
Hornaday, of Atlanta, who many
years ago made frequent visits to
Jefferson when her sister, Miss An
nie Hornaday, was teacher of music
in Martin Institute.
GEORGIA’S HALL OF FAME
(From Waycross Georgian)
We are informed that six more
portraits are being in Geor
gia’s Hall of Fame in the state’s
capitol in Atlanta; the portraits are
of illustrious people who have play
ed an important part in the atTairs of
the state from the days of James
Edward Oglethorpe nnd Tomochichi,
up to the present decade.
Walter C. Hill, president of the
Atlanta Art Association, announces
that the following portraits were
hung recently:
Sidney Lanier, world famous poet
and author of “Marshes of Glynn ;
John Wesley, founder of Methodism;
Mrs. Rebecca L. Felton, woman writ
er; Crawford W. Jdong, discoverer of
painless surgery; Lucious Q. Lamar,
hirst Georgian to become a justice of
the United States supreme court,
and Robert (Bob) Toombs, states
man and leader in Reconstruction
days. x
Georgians should be proud of this
valuable addition to their Hall of
Fame, and will no doubt spend some
time looking these portraits over
when they visit Atlanta.
THE BASKET BALL TOURNA
MENT
Jefferson is expecting a large num
ber of young basket ball players and
their friends on February 28, March
Ist and 2nd, when the tournament
of the- east side of the Ninth Dis
trict is held on Martin Institute
court. These tournaments always
excite widespread interest, and the
rivalry between the teams and tlfo
cheerleaders who accompany thtfip
IsTtedh/ Th fighter the champion
ship keeps the interest at fever heat,
and the antagonism, though friend
ly, wins the spirited applause of the
"fan*” on each side.
Jefferson awaits with cordial hoe
pitality the coming of these yourig
sportsmen, who will be extended a
happy welcome.
Martin Institute has a wonderful
ly well-trained team, and the friends
of these boys and their coach, Pro
fessor . DeKoor, are expecting to see
them win their way through to the
last game and claim the champion
ship for the Ninth District.
Martin Institute’s team of girls
will enter the tournament at Clarkes
villc; on February 21-23.
Approximately $45,000,000 has
been or is being expended on repairs
to 250,000 dwellings in all parts of
the country through reconditioning
loans made by the Home Owners
Loan Corporation.
The American Legion has a trust
fund of five million dollars for the
sole purpose of sending children of
veterans to school. La?t year only
three children in Georgia took ad
vantage of this opportunity. Appli
cations to secure these benefits may
be secured from Mrs. Nolan Mc-
Crary, auxiliary president of the
Sixth Legion district.
•It looks as if the newspaper edi
tors in South and middle Georgia
are monopolizing all of the post
master jobs. Mrs. Nora Lawrence
Smith, managing editor of the Wire
grass Farmer, is now postmaster at
Ashburn; U. L. Cox, of the News
Banner, is postmaster at Baxley; C.
E. Benns, of the Herald, is postmas
ter at Butler; W. T. Atkins, of the
News, is postmaster at Edison; and
Peyton Anderson, business manager
of the Telegraph, is postmaster at
Macon.
We have received an article writ
ten by Mr. J. J. Mitchell, one of
Jackson county’s oldest and most
highly esteemed citizens, telling of
the close friendship that has existed
between himself and his boyhood
chum, Mr. C. T. Storey, Sr., all these
years. Both are 87 years of age;
both have been married 61 years,
and their wives attended Martin In
stitute together. It has not been
long since Mr. Mitchell was a fre
quent visitor in Jefferson, but im
paired health now keeps him at
home most of the time, but he en-,
joys visits from his friends, and in
vites us to come to see him. Says
he will feed us on the products of
the farm.
An item from the local page of
The Herald printed February 12,
fifty-nine yeai* ago, says: “Court
week the fourth Monday. We truly
hope that the friends of our little
enterprise will not be idle during the
coming court. Let every subscriber
bring in at least one new one
speak a good word for the paper,
and last of all, remember that while
printers can go hungry, bare-footed
and bare-headed just as good as
other people, yet it’s the wrong time
of the year to try the experiment.
At that time The Herald was known
as The Forest News, and Malcom
Stafford was the editor. Times have
not changed much. It is still court
week, and too cold for the editor
and printers to go bare-footed.
SILVER STREAM, THE
STREAMLINE TRAIN
Charles Starrett and Irving Piehel
are the stars that make, "The Silver
Streak," which comes to the Roose
velt Theatre Tuesday, an outstanding
picture.
That the rough-and-tumble con
flict in the cabin of the fast moving
“Silver Streak” did stack up favor
ably with past wars was attended to
by a vote of Long, Farnum and Ken
nedy. All three claimed they had
never seen its equal for bloody reali
ty, on the screen.
In addition to the fast, new,
streamline train of the Burlington
Railroad, "The Silver Streak” pre
sents the first dramatic screening of
scenes of Boulder Dam, the new
Moffat Tunnel that put Denver on
the main lina, and the Drinker, Re
spirator commonly known as the
“iron lung.”
With Starrett, Piehel. Farnum
and Kennedy the cast also includes
Pally Blanc. Hardie Albright, Doris
Dawson, Arthur Lake, Theodor von
Kltz. Mary Carr and Guinn “Big
Boy" Williams.

Grove school house Saturday night,
February 16th. Time. 8 o'clock.
Title, “Old Fashioned Mother." Ad
mission fee, 10c and 16c. The pro
ceeds of play will go for the benefit
of the school. Everybody is cor

MILLION IN RARE GEMS
GRACE COLBERT BEAUTY
IN “THE GILDED LILY”
Not content with outfitting Claud
ette Colbert with the most lavish
collection of gowns she has ever
worn in motion pictures, Paramount
provided Miss Colbert with a million
dollars worth of real jewels, the
lost valuable collection ever worn
n films, for her new starring role in
•The Gilded Lily,” which comes
Thursday to the Roosevelt Theatre.
One of the most interesting sets
Miss Colbert wears in “The Gilded
Lily" is a long necklace of rubies
•nd diamonds with a large pendant
drop. This has a wide matching
bracelet with five huge cabochon ru
bies surrounded by pear-shaped dia
monels and filled in with
Twenty-one pieces can be mane
from this set which is worth $150,-
To safeguard Miss Colbert and
his fortune in jewels during the
filming of “Gilded l ily, the sound
stage at Paramount was converted
into something resembling an arsen
al during war-time. Whenever the
jewels.were in use, the usual com
plement of Paramount watchman was
supported by special guards who
sported grim and efficient sub-ma
chine guns, and a number of detec
tives from the Los Angeles police
fore>, posted inconspicuously thro
ughout the studio.
' In “The Gilded Lily,” which gives
Miss Colbert her first singing and
dancing role since “Torch Singer,”
the actress plays the role of a gla
morous and beautiful darling of the
night-world who sacrifices riches and
the adoration of a rich man for love
on a park bench with the man she
has chosen.
Fred Mac Murray. Ray Milland, C.
Aubrey Smith and Grace Bradley
appear in the supporting east of
“The Gilded Lily”, which was direct
ed by Wesley Ruggles. '
