WHAT ONE GOVERNOR THINKS
Governor Miller in his message to
the Legislature of Alabama closed
his striking message with these
words:
“No child should be taught that
his education depended on the a
mount of beer, wine and liquor the
citizens of Alabama will consume.
No wine, beer or liquor money
should be secured from our citizens
to educate our children. This gov
ernment should run without beer,
wine or liquor money.
“Alabama should never be a wine,
beer or liquor vendor. Alabama’s i
seal of approval should never be
placed on an act permitting the
sale of alcoholic beverages in this
state.
‘ Alabama should never form a
partnership with beer, wine or li
quor. No government should go in
to the beer, wine or liquor bu.uneas.
When you sow wine, beer and liquor
seed in Alabama what result can
you expect when its fruit is fully
ripe? ; .it
'‘Remember, whatsoever a state
sows that shall it also reap. If you
sow beer or wine or liquor in Ala
bama, you can expect to reap fruit
that will bite like a serpent and
sting like an adder.
“Be wise and plant no such seed
in Alabama.
“Keep the bite of the serpent and
the sting of the adder out of Ala
bama."
ADVERTISING EVEN FOUND A
TOE
A story credited to the Talladega,
Ala., Daily News tells the following:
“Advertising for what one wants
is the quick and effective way to get
it. In Paris an injury to a woman’s
foot made it necessary to ampu
tate one of her toes, and to secure
another to take its place the surgeon
advertised. A woman with six toes
on one foot was found, and she was
glad to get rid of the extra digit,
which she not only got removed
without cost and grafted onto the
foot of the lady who was to lose
one of her regulation five, but re
ceived pay for it as well. Thus two
women were made happy by adver
tising."
The Athens Banner-Herald says:
“If a small advertisement, in a
newspaper, will find a woman with
six toes on one of her feet, who is
willing to sell one of her toes, and
finds a customer for the toe, such an
incident should be convincing to the
public that newspaper advertising
pay-” . \%m
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
(From Dudley Glass’ Column)
“Well, you can’t sue me for that”
is becoming a popular expression.
But if you’ll ask a claim agent who
must defend “liability” suits you’ll
discover you can be sued for any
thing under the sun. Maybe you
won’t have to pay—but you can be
sued. *' *
Even at that we find it difficult to
believe one story an insurance man
told the editor of The Tri-County
News, of Americus. Maybe your be
liever is working better than ours,
so we’ll pass it on to you:
“Two men were playing billards
in a building across a narrow court
from a room occupied by an elderly
lady. A billiard ball bounced off
the table, went through the window
of her roQm and frightened the cat.
The cat jumped on a table and up
set a coffee percolator. This set fire
to the cloth, and soon the room was
burning. When the woman discov
ered the fire, she died of shock, and
the billiard ball proprietor was held
liable.” ;
Pastor Marshall Nelms of Sardis
church, Hart county, is thoroughly
“sold” on the “God’s Acre” plan of
raising money. His church produced
in 1934 fifteen bales of cotton which
cotton when sold, together with the
seed, totaled about one-half of the
amount set up in the church budget
for that year. Asa result the church
was able to pay seven hundred dol
lars on it ; church debt and this pay
ment liquidated a mortgage amount
ing to two thousand dollars. In ad
dition all local expenses were paid,
about five hundred dollars were giv
en to the co-operative program and
the church treasurer had a balance
of over one hundred dollars on Jan
uary 1, 1935.
Jackson County Home
Demonstration News
(Leila Bates, H. D. A.)
M iss Gladys Kimbrough gave a
demonstration on meat canning at
the Home Economics Laboratory in
Maysvillc on Tuesday afternoon,
February 12. Miss Kimbrough is
food preservation and culinary spe
cialist for Ball Brothers Company.
She demonstrated the canning of
steak and ground meat, using beef.
Steak should be sliced in pieceH that
will easily slip into the jar. It should
be cooked in a frying pan until it is
about half done, turning it constant
ly, she said. Use only a little of the
beef fat for greasing the pan. Never
use flour in frying meat which is to
be canned, she stated. The heat will
not penetrate as quickly and thor
oughly throughout the flour coating.
Always place the meat into the hot
sterilized jars immediately. It may
be covered with gravy made by pour
ing boiling water into the broiling
pan, or no liquid may be used. Never
fill the jars fuller than one-half inch
of the top. Do not crowd the jar,
but use all the space. Tighten the
top, and then barely loosen it, place
in the pressure cooker. Pints and
quarts are processed for seventy-five
minutes at fifteen pound.! pressure.
Use only good tops, and new tested
rubbers in meat canning. Have
everything thoroughly clean, and
follow directions that are supported
by the government, Miss Kimbrough
urged. The Maysvillc home econo
mics girls, the 4-H club girls, the Mt.
View club women, and ladies of
Maysville attended the demonstra
tion. Forty-seven people were pres
ent.
I t X
Mrs. L. F. Sell, Mrs. H. H. Hogan,
Mrs. Geo. Shackelford, Mrs. Opal
Shirley, Mrs. J. C. Head, Mr. L. F.
Sell, Rev. Gray and Mose Gordon
attended the regional meeting of
the federal housing administration
with the home demonstration agent
and county agent in Athens Thurs
day afternoon, February 14th. It
is hoped that property owners of
Jackson county will take this oppor
tunity to repair, improve,, or build
better homes. For those who are in
terested in the project, information
can bo supplied from the home
agent’s or county agent’s office.
t t t
The girls 4-H club council will
meet at the home economics labora
tory at Martin Institute, Saturday,
10 a. m., February 23rd. All officers
and project chairmen of 4-H clubs
in the county, or members, should be
present. Officers for the new year
will be elected, certificates for com
pletion of 4 years work'will be giv
en, and medals for outstanding ac
tivities in 1934 will be awarded.
Plans for a project to be sponsored
by the girls council will be made. A
program has been planned. The
home agent wishes to urge the mem
bers to be present at this important
meeting.
t t t
A community party will be given
at the school house at Plain View,
Saturday night, February 23rd, at
7.30 o’clock. It is sponsored by the
4-H club girls and the home demon
stration club. Everybody in the
community come, and all join in the
games and be merry.
t t t
Never before has it been so neces
sary to live at home. Grow more
food for the family, and use the cash
ordinarily spent for food for clothes,
or improvement around the home.
The farm is the one place where
people cun live. There may not be
much money to spend, but there is a
living in the soil. The live at home
committee of the Georgia Home Eco
nomics Association presents a plan
for better home life. The home
agent is presenting this plan to the
home makers and future home mak
ers of Jackson county. The plan lor
foods under better home life follows:
1. Make a study of the family
food needs, and plan a yearly food
budget.
2. Make a plan for the produ'c?
tion of an adequate supply of home
grown foods the year round.
3. Use the leaflet, “Food Plan of
Georgia Families,” as a guide in
determining the types and amounts j
of foods needed.
4. Recognize the importance of
providing a good milk cow, chickens,
and a year round garden.
5. Combine available foods into
well planned and balanced meals.
6. Preserve all surplus foods by
using approved methods of canning,
drying, brfning, or otherwise cur-,
ing and storing for future use.
7. Produce larger amounts of
dried peas and beans, and treat some
for weevil prevention, and make
provision for storage.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Soil Erosion Work to Begin
At Monticeilo
A co-operative arrangement un
der which the Soil Erosion Service
will direct an eroaion-control and
land-use program on the Federal
Subsistence Homesteads' Projects at
Monticeilo, Ga., was announced re
cently by Secretary of the Interior
Harold L. Ickes.r
Under the arrangement, which
combines in one area the activities
of two important emergency agen
cies of the Interior Department,
specialists of the Soil Erosion Ser
vice will direct Monticeilo home
steaders in the use of scientific farm
ing methods designed to curb erosion
and preserve the land in a perman
ently productive condition.
The homesteaders will be requir
ed, as a part of their agreement
with the Subsistence Homesteads Di
vision, to adopt and carry out what
ever farm practices and erosion
control measures are recommended
by the service.
These will include such measures
as terracing, gully-control, strip
cropping, contour plowing, reforest
ation, crop rotation ami pasture
management. Every farm within
the homestead project will be stu
died by experts of the Soil Erosion
Service to determine the extent of
erosion and the nature of the con
trol measures best adapted to the
problems of each parcel of land. A
co-ordinated plan of erosion-control
treatment will then be worked out
for the individual farm an 1 for the
project area aS a whole.
All material and equipment, ex
cept two heavy tractors for terrace
construction, will be furnished by
the Subsistence Homesteads Division.
Actual labor will be done largely by
the homesteaders themselves, under
the supervision and guidance of Soil
Erosion Service experts.
The two heavy tractors, to be sup
plied by the Soil Erosion Service for
terracing work, will later be trans
ferred to some other erosion-control
project needing equipment of this
nature. Supervisory and technical
personnel will be drafted temporari
ly by the Service from the staffs of
several other erosion-control pro
jects in the locality.
Because of the highly credible
nature of the soil in this section of
the country, and the excessive dam
age to farm lands caused already by
erosion, some action to halt the de
struction of land values is regarded
as imperative if the region is to re
main fit for cultivation.
Approximately $14,000 will be
spent by the Soil Erosion Service, it
is estimated, in carrying out its
share of the joint program.
Income Tax Payers Should
Take Notice
Uncle Sam is calling upon his
nieces and nephews to make returns
of their incomes for tax purposes,
and the deadline for filing these re
turns is midnight on March 15.
Returns are required of every
single person who for the year 1934
had a grosk income of $5,000 or
more or a net income of SI,OOO or
more and of every husband and
wife living together who for the
year 1934 had an aggregate gross
income of $5,000 or more or an ag
gregate net income of $2,500 or
more. The personal exemptions are
SI,OOO for single persons and $2,500
for married persons living together
and ror heads of families.
Husband and wife living together
may make separate returns of the
income of each, or their income may
be included in a single joint return.
A WORD TO OUR
SUBSCRIBERS
A few December 1934 dates
are still on our subscription list. ’
Also, a large number of sub
scriptions became due in Janu- '
ary and February. To all of
these subscribers notices have '
been mailed, but the responses '
have not been as liberal as we
expected. Our policy of reniov- '
ing from the list all names in '
arrears will result in the loss of '
several subscribers. We regret to '
lose a single name, therefore, we '
are again reminding those who 1
have neglected to renew, to at- '
tend to the matter at once. The '
price, $1.50 a year, or 3 cents a '
week, is not much to invest in "
keeping informed on the lead- '
ing current events of the coun- ’
ty, state and nation, and The '
Herald should be a weekly visit- *
or in every home in the county. *

NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL
CAPITOL
(By E. B. Betts)
The lone Republican from the Sec
ond District of Indiana, Hon. Char
les A. Halleck, was sworn and given
the oath on February sth as a mem
ber of the House, by Speaker J. W.
Byrns. Miriorty leader, Hon. B. H.
Snell, of New York, escorted the
youthful Mr. Halleck to the Speak
er’s dais. He was accorded a warm
applause by the house Democrats and
Republicans.
t t t
Hon. M. J. Yeomans, Attorney
General of Georgia, was a prominent
visitor at the Capitol, February 4
and 5. While here he was the guest
of Hon. E. M. Owens, M. C„ of the
Fourth District of Georgia.
t t t
Hon. John McDuffie, of the First
Dist. of Alabama, was confirmed by
the United States Senate on Febru
ary 7th, to be United States District
Judge for the Southern District of
Alabama.
t t t
Hon. B. Frank Whelchel, the new
i Congressmen from the famous Ninth
I District of Georgia, who was elected
to Congress 6n November 6th, 1934,
introduced a bill in the 74th Con
'rre.°" on January 28. 1935, an a
mendment to the Bankhead bill, and
yet the Bankhead cotton bill will
not be impaired by the Whelchel
bill. It is intended to help the small
farmer, to exempt cotton produced,
by small farmers. Exemption not
to exceed five bales . The bill was
referred to the Committee on Agri
culture. If passed by Congress and
Senate, and becomes a law, it will be
of great benefit to the small farmer,
not only to the Empire State of the
South, but to all the Cotton States
of Dixie. Congressman Whelchel is
making good in the new Congress on
Capitol Hill, and the Ninth District
of Georgia should feel proud of him
as their representative in Congress.
Speaker J. W. Byrns had him. to pre
side over the House a short time ago
in the Speaker’s chair. He presided
with ability and dignity for one
hour. He is also very popular in
Democratic and Republican circles.
He is a real Jeffersonian Democrat.

February 12, was Abraham Lin
coln’s birthday. He was born Feb
ruary 12, 1809, in the State of Ken
tucky. He was President of the
United States in 1861, 1862, 1863
and 1864, from the State of Illinois.
ttt
President F. D. Roosevelt, on Feb
ruary 13, signed the deficiency bill,
carrying an amendment restoring
full pay to employes on April 1.
It will add $16,000,000 to the fed
eral pay roll. By approving this,
the President makes it possible for
all those on the federal pay rolls
losing 5 per cent of their pay to en
joy full envelopes in April, 1935.

A 543-FOOT PILE NEEDED
Raising 150,000 dimes to build a
house for the zoo Asa G. Candler,
Jr., donated to the city is a stupend
ous task when a person delves into
statistics tc find out how big a sum
it is.
If 150,000 dimes u r ere stacked in
one pile it would measure 543%
feet in height.
And if this number of dimes was
placed on the scales the dial would
show 852% pounds, avoirdupois.
These details were compiled by
the Citizens & Southern Bank at the
request of Lewis Gordon, treasurer
of the zoo fund.
Card players did their full duty
in 1934. Bridge, poker and even
old-fashioned set-back furnished re
creation for a large per cent of the
population. Enough playing cards
were sold in the United States tc
encircle the world five times, if laid
end to end, with a couple of cross
continent strips left. Stamp taxes
were paid on 45,351,707 packs dur
ing the year, the Internal Revenue
Bureau reports. Someone figured
the mileage represented was slight
ly in excess of 130,271 miles.
The heavy rains of last week
caused a cessation of much farm
work. It has been many years since
farm land showed as much early
cultivation as it does this year. The
farmer and his pair of mules and
heavy plow have been on the job in
every sectio nof the county, and in
many instances'the land is ready for
the seed and fertilier.
Editor Shackelford thinks of all
the mandliVig things he has ever
known that of making a monkey
show of the parents of the Canadian
quintuplets is the very worst. Vau
deville promotors know no limit in
trying to attract the curious. Broth
er Shackelford might have also in
cluded those who are now trying to
place the Hauptmann jury before
the footlights.
Representative Williams, of Cof
fee county, author of the invitation
to Huey Long and chairman of the
House temperance committee, de
clares that “Coffee county rye is a
major industry” in his county, and
he wants it protected.” Looks like
Williams is a queer sort of guy to
be pat at the bead of the temperance
committee.—Walton Tribune.
