Long.

STATE BANK LOANS
INCREASE $11,000,000
DURING PAST YEAR
State banks in Georgia responded
to pleas for easier credit conditions
by increasing loans made during
1934 to more than $11,000,000 over
the amount loaned in the previous
year, it was shown Saturday in fi
gures compiled at the state banking
department.
The 223 state banks and 9 branch
es reported loans of $65,080,073.05
in 1934 compared with $56,741,169.-
63 for 1933. The figures do not
cover 58 national banks which do
not come under jurisdiction of the
state banking department.
Advances on cotton and other
commodities accounted for $5,605,-
876.46 of the loans. This represent
ed an increase of $2,911,102 over
the sum loaned in 1933 for this pur
pose. The state banks increased
their holdings in United States gov
ernment securities and state and
municipal bonds by $6,373,504.
A net increase of $22,587,608 in
deposits was shown by the banks
during the year. Savings deposits
showed an increase of $5,082,772,
amounting to a total of $24,709,965.
Demand deposits or checking ac
counts increased $11,711,598, the
total amounting to $52,119,750.
Plants breathe through their leav
es. It is, therefore, necessary to
keep house plants free from dust.
TO A DEGREE never before known in his
tory, the use of electric service in a home is
conceded to be a highly significant measure of that
home’s well-being and progressiveness. That word
has come down from high places; it has been ac
cepted far and wide.
What does it mean in Georgia?
It means that Georgia homes, measured by that
“yardstick,” are nearly 50 per cent better off than
the average for all America. It means that many
Georgia towns small towns, too are nearly
three times as well-provided with the factors that
make up REAL LIVING than the average
throughout the United States; it means that Geor
gia is in the forefront of the nation’s advance
toward those new and better things.
Georgia is setting goals for the rest of the na
tion to strive for!
During 1934, the 120,000 homes served by the
Georgia Power Company used an average of 888.3
kilowatt hours per home giving Georgia a com
manding lead in worthwhile living.

Woman’* Advertisement For Toe

Paris.—The power of advertising

French woman who found herself in
need of a toe.
Appealing to Dr. Francis Dubois
to find anew toe to replace one in
process of being amputated the doc

a newspaper.
More than 900 offers were im

The toe was grafted on the doc

one just amputated and both women
are happy to have normal feet again.
This is the only case on record
where an individual has used adver
tisements to improve feet make-up.

erage of 931.3 kilowatt hours higher than the
Georgia average, far higher than the national av
erage.
But Athens and the territory that extends from
Madison and Greensboro in the south on up to
the Northeast Georgia mountains surpassed At

in a thinly populated Georgia section that cov
ers 8,500 square miles!
On top of that, 35 Georgia towns, taken indi
vidually, scored 1,000 kilowatt hours or more
35 Georgia towns can say that their citizens use
nearly twice as much electric service as the aver
age for all American homes.
And LOUISVILLE, GEORGIA, with a popu
lation of 1,650, leads the list with an average of
1,700 kilowatt hours a year! Double the average

By actual check of electric bills. resi
dential customers tn 35 Georgia towns
used an average of 100 kilowatt hours
or more during October, 1934. These
towns stand at the top of the more than
400 towns served by this Company and
would rank high in any national com
parison.
The month of October was selected
for the survey because it has neither ex
cessive darkness nor daylight and is
therefore a typical month in the use of
electricity. An estimate of the annual
use of electricity in these towns may be
obtained by multiplying the figures at
the right by twelve. This annual figure,
however, is only an estimate. Here are
the leading averages for October:
‘Prepare Yourself To Die,’ Pastor
Says, Drops Dead
Atlanta. —Shouting to his flock to
prepare themselves to meet death,
Rev. C. H. Young, Atlanta ne
gro Baptist minister, illustrated his
point Monday by dropping dead in
the pulpit.
The preacher was speaking at a
church in Scottdale and had just
told the congregation that waiting
for death was like waiting for a
street car. Suddenly he was strick
en and died.

What do these figures mean? Forget “kilowatt
hours” and semi-technical terms. Answer the qu f $.
tion in everyday language.
Do they merely mean that the power company
is doing a big business? Are they simply a peg on
which to hang local pride? We think not.
As a guide, here are some things this achieve,
ment does NOT mean:
It doesn’t mean smelly oil lamps, dim and
smoky at night.... it doesn’t mean sending the
children to bed in the dark for fear they will tip
over the lamp and set fire to the house.... it
doesn’t mean filling long rows of lamps, today and
tomorrow and the day after that, endlessly, polish
ing chimneys, scrubbing your hands to get rid of
the smell of kerosene, trying to keep that smell out
of the food.
It doesn’t mean carrying heavy buckets of water
from the we 11.... it doesn’t mean milk soured,
foods spoiled, no better refrigerator than the old
spring nouse.
It doesn’t mean wood to be cut, fires to be made,
ashes to be carried out, sweat, soot and grime in
the kitchen, blistering heat on baking days, nearly
as hot on other days, bad in winter, worse in
summer.
It doesn’t mean a never-ending daily round of
nagging duties for every w oman in the home....
young wives changed into old women before they
are thirty.
What DOES it mean to the home of today?
Ask the women who began housekeeping before
electric service came in .... ask the daughters, ot
the sons, of mothers w’ho cooked and kept house
in that old-fashioned way. THEY will tell you
gladly what Georgia’s record really means.
