TWICE AS MUCH
FOR YOOR MONEY
Food, clothing and the other items you use
every day make up the Cost of Lining average,
as shown in the upper line of this chart. It’s
43 per cent HIGHER than before the World
War, in 1913. Now, trace the lower line and
see the downward trend of electricity prices
paid by homes served by this Company in the
same period. When you hear arguments in fa
vor of government ownership of the electric
industry, remember this chart. Have taxes, pos
tage rates and other government costs gone
down, down, DOWN like this?

anyone else, that prices are up and on the rise. And
you know, too, that you can't buy twice as much
food, twice as much clothing, or twice as much of
almost anything else today as you could buy in 1928,
before “depression" became a household word.
But Georgia homes today CAN, and DO, get
twice as much electricity for their money as they got
in 1928.
Here's the proof— $3.34 a month is the average
electric bill paid by homes served by this Company.
In 1928, that amount of money would have bought
you 41 kilowatt hours of electricity (if you lived
in Atlanta, which had the lowest electric rates in
Georgia. In other towns, with their higher rates, it
would not have bought as much).
But today, $3.34 buys 83 kilowatt hours on the
new “inducement” rate, and the same big value for
your money is available wherever this Company's
lines run —in cities, towns, villages, crossroads set
tlements and on the farms.
From 41 kilowatt hours in 1928 to 83 kilowatt
hours today more than TWICE AS MUCH for
the same amount of money that is what makes
electricity the biggest bargain you can buy.
Into a depression and out of it, whether other
prices were coming down or going up, the price of
electric service has gone down, down, DOWN !

MICE CAUGHT RED-HANDED
AS 4 $5.00 BILLS VANISH
FROM POST OFFICE DRAWER
Knoxville, Tenn.—Four $5 bills
of the United States Post Office De
partment were back in circulation
Saturday after being officially mark
ed as “missing” at the Knoxville
Post Office for about three months.
The currency, along with $26
worth of stamps, disappeared in
February from a stamp window 1
drawer.
Postmaster H. Woodruff Booth
called in postal inspectors and as
signed them to trace the loot. Their
sleuthing soon revealed mice were
carrying off the stamps.
Postmaster Booth applied to the
Post Office Department in Washing
ton and was granted a $26 refund
for the stamps. The S2O claim for
the currency was denied, Booth said.
Still dissatisfied, he made another
search behind the stamp drawer and
found a small hole which had not
been closed by the contractor who
erected the city’s new Federal
Building.
Friday Booth had the steel par
tition behind the drawer taken out
and there were Uncle’s Sam’s miss
ing $5 bills, lately used as a home
by a family of mice.

NINTH DISTRICT A. A M.
PLANT TO BE REBUILT BY
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
Habersham College, anew institu
tion with a program especially
adapted to the needs of the youth of
North Georgia, will be opened in
September in the plant formerly oc
cupied by the eld Ninth District
Agricultural and Mechanical School
at Clarkosville.
Dr. Thomas Alexander, of New
College, Columbia University, New
York, who will head the college, re
vealed tentative plans for the new
school recently.
The institution will be a branch of
Columbia University. It will be a
junior college and will offer a wide
course of study, taking in vocational
training for boys and advanced work
in home economics for girls, in ad
dition to the regular academic
course.
Jobs will be available for boys
and girls to help pay their expenses,
and both day and boarding students
will be enrolled, Dr. Alexander said.
Physical properties include the
main classroom building, two brick
dormitories and three residences for
faculty members. The buildings are
on a 319-acre farm. The land will
be cultivated in the vocational pro
gram of the new college.
Shops will be installed in one of
the buildings, and the articles made
by the students will be marketed, ac
cording to plans. Details of a pro
gram of adult work are being stud
ied.
The property will be leased from
the Board of Education by Colum
bia, and teachers will be sent here
from the New York institution. The
plan has been under study by uni
versity officials for over a year, and
decision to proceed with the pro
gram was made last week.
WHAT BUBBLES FROM MY
SPRING
(By Ernest Neal, in Atlanta
Constitution)
This morning a young friend ask
ed me how it feels to be 80 years
old.
My reply was: “Don’t know, for
I lack several months of reaching
that limit.”
“Beg pardon,” said he, “I knew
you were nearly 79 years young.
You look every day of it, but I mean
how do you feel? How are you?”
That same question was propound
ed to John Adams just before his
death on July 4, 1826, and he re
plied, “My body is old, worn, and
ramshackcled, but John Adams is all
right.”
What a glorious answer!
Ife was 91 years old, his body
was feeble, and his mind was tired,
but within that tottering temporary
tenement wa3 the same immortal
soul that prompted him to sign the
Declaration of Independence, light
ed his way to become the second
president of the United States, and
guided him through many diplomatic
relations in the service of his coun
try.
“John Adams is all right!”
Readers, may you and I, at the
last milepost of life’s journey be
able to substitute each his own name
for that of John Adams in this
good old Anglo-Saxon expression,
strong and forceful, if not so orna
ment and euphonious as the follow
ing masterpiece of truth and beauty
from Oliver Wendell Holmes:
“Build thee more stately mansions
O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than
the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome
more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by
life’s unresting sea.”
