A young lady haying asked a
gentleman the size of his neck, he
sent the following:
“The size of my neck. That’s re
markably strange,
And admits of a very insignificant
range;
A necktie, a collar, sore throat, or a
halter,
And others, enough to make a man
falter. ,
Let this tender reply anxiety check:
The length of your arm will just go
around my neck.”

The Vogue for
TOMATOES
THE vogue for red this season
has extended even to vege
tables. You see red coats wher
ever you walk abroad, and you
eat red dishes whenever you sit
down to table. We may be in the
red in our dress, but the red is in
us when it comes to eating. And
that makes for good red blood be
cause our principal red food —to-
matoes —is one of the very best
sources of vitamin C and a good
source of vitamins A, B and G.
And canned tomatoes are now
said to be an even better source
of vitamin C than raw tomatoes
cooked in the usual way at home.
So What?
So let’s see if we can’t think
up some more dishes in which
this fashionable color appears in
the shape of canned tomatoes.
Here’s a “honey” which is not
only new but which contains some
honey in its makeup:
Oriental Onion and Tomatoes:
Peel twelve large white onions,
cut them in halves crosswise and
lay them in a baking dish. Melt
four tablespoons butter, add one
cup strained tomatoes, one-fourth
cup strained honey, salt and pep
per to taste and a few grains
paprika, and heat to boiling. Pour
over onions and bake until tender
—from one hour to an hour and
a half —in a slow or 350-degree
oven. Serves six.*

Georgia Tobacco Prices,
Poundage Below Last Year
Atlanta. —Georgia tobacco grow
ers received $15,570,510.64 from
their 1937 crop, or about $2,100,000
less than the record-setting 1936
revenue, the State Department of
Agriculture reported.
Both the average price and pound
age for 1937 were below the 1936
figurees.
The 79,523,530 pounds of Georgia
grown tobacco this year sold at an
average of 19.58 cents compared to
the 20.96 cents average for the 84,-
299,126 pounds last ytyir.
With 3,719,231 pounds of tobacco
in other states, total sales at the
sixteen marketing centers in the
state this year were 83,242,761
pounds for $16,298,736.07.
Total sales last year, including
2,266,172 pounds of non-Georgia
grown tobacco were 86,565,298
pounds for $18,145,557.25.
Valdosta led in the number of
pounds sold and total receipts. To
tal pounds sold on the Valdosta
market were 10,788,410. Receipts
were $2,092,146.64.
Tifton, No. 1 market last year, was
in second place with sales of 9,932,-
326 pounds and receipts of $1,885,-
660.97.
Highest average price, 21.49
cents, was paid at Waycross, which
sold 3,122,639 pounds of the leaf.
The second highest average, 21.14
cents, was paid at Blackshear where
7,361,078 pounds were sold.
Final sales were considerably
above an early season estimate of
approximately 61,000,000 pounds.
Ravages of blue mold, a plant
disease, during the early spring
brought the original low estimate.
Revenue from Georgia-grown to
bacco this year was the third high
est in the history of the Georgia
market. The years 1929, when $16,-
768,000 was received for tobacco,
and 1936 ranked ahead of 1937.
Total pounds sold in 1937 were
the fifth highest in the history of
the market. Ranking ahead of
1937 were: 1928, 82,877,355 pounds;
1929, 88,166,554 pounds; 1930, 103,-
505,159 pounds, and 1936.
CONFEDERATE ROLLS
IN STATE REDUCED
Confederate pension rolls in
Georgia have been reduced 80 per
cent during the past ten years by
deaths of veterans and their wid
ows, it was disclosed at the state
veteran’s service office Friday.
Sam Askew, in charge of the
Confederate pension division of the
state veteran’s service office, said
only 250 veterans and 1,429 widows
are, on the rolls today as compared
with 2,998 ex-soldiers and 5,541
widows who received pensions to
taling $1,836,073.27 from the state
in 1927.
The number of pensioners each
of whom receives S3O a month, also
showed a marked drop under last
year. Former wearers of the gray of
the Confederacy were 270 less today
than the 520 on the rolls in 1936,
while the number of widows de
creased 266 from 1,945.
Stanley Jones, state veteran’s
service officer, said his office would
have applications in , the hands of
ordinaries within the next week or
ten days for the widows who will be
placed on pension rolls as a result
of the constitutional amendment ap
proved June 8.
Mr. Jones said payments would
begin as soon as possible after ap
plications are received at his of
fice. The department must investi
gate the eligibility of the applicants.
No estimate of the number of
widows who will receive pensions
under the new amendment was avail
able.
DID NOT CHOOSE TO COME
The old negro was brought before
the bar in United States District
Court while Judge Samuel H. Sib
ley, now a circuit court cf appeals
judge, was presiding.
He was a typical country negro,
clad in tattered overalls and knife
hacked shoes which let his broad
toes rest in comfort, recalls Court
Clerk Jon Dean Steward.
“Sam,” said Judge Sibley, “don’t
you remember what I told you last
time you came in here?”
“Naw-suh, Judge Yo’ Honor, I
*doan’ remember.”
“Well, I do,” Judge Sibley said.
“The last time, when you came in
here and got several' months, I told
you that you better never come in
here again.”
“Yas-suh, Judge, I remember dat.
But, Judge, dis time I ain’t come
here, sur. Dey fotched me.”
REV. W. B. BURKE, FIFTY
YEARS A MISSIONARY, TO
SAIL FOR CHINA SHORTLY
For half a century Rev. W. B.
Burke, Macon, labored among the
Chinese as a missionary of the
Southern Methodist Church. Just
before Christmas last year he re
turned from the land that had claim
ed more than two-thirds of his life,
the land in which his children were
born and reared. Mrs. Burke, of
cou-se, came with him.
Now, at 73, Mr. Burke, who refers
to himself as “China” Burke, is
going back. The Church’s Board of
Missions has accepted once again
this servant who knows China and
its peoples, its oldest missionary in
Chinese service, ami will station
him near Shanghai, a dangerous spot
in China now because of disturb
ances between the Chinese and
Japanese. The thought of a horrible
war in Mr. Burke’s China saddens
him, but doesn’t terrify him. "I’ve
seen too many bullets whistle about
me in other wars over there to be
afraid,” the Macon News quotes the
beloved minister as saying.
Mr. and Mrs. Burke will sail from
New York in October and will go to
the Orient via the Panama Canal.
The trip will require about a month
and a half.
SHOULD SUFFER CONSE
QUENCES
Americans who fail or refuse to
be evacuated from China, after
reasonable efforts on the part of
officials of this country, do not de
serve protection or sympathy. Sec
retary Hull has used every force at
his command to provide transporta
tion for these people to a place of
safety, but it is understood that
there are hundreds of Americans
who are delaying and bickering over
the opportunity of returning to this
counti’y or elsewhere where they will
be protected from danger or harm
from the Japanese and Chinese.
The alarm of danger has been
sounded by Secretary Hull and
Americans in China are warned of
what they may expect if they re
main in China. Marines have been
stationed in the port of Shanghai,
and every protection possible has
been provided for Americans, but it
is a matter which the United States
cannot control, and without the co
operation of the people, the officials
in Washington should not be criti
cized for leaving these Americans
in China to work out their own pro
tection and safety.—Athens Banner-
Herald.

LOANS ON COTTON START
SEPTEMBER 15
Washington, D. C.—Cotton grow
ers have been assured by Secretary
Wallace that 1937 government cot
ton loans will be ready by September
15.
Funds will be limited to growers
who agree to comply with control
measures yet to be enacted for next
year’s crop. They will be based on
a combination loan and subsidy ar
rangement intended to bolster prices
on this year’s large crop.
Wallace said the government will
lend up to 9 cents a pound, depend
ing on the grade, and will grant
subsidies up to 3 cents a pound on
65 per cent of the grower’s base
production.
Cotton brokers generally express
ed the opinion the loan program was
“conservative” and gave assurance
of a practically free market.
They said the fixing of a differen
tial on lower grades was a safe-guard
against too heavy offering of them
on a basis above their comparative
worth.
Wallace said that if payments on
65 per cent of the 1937 base produc
tion fell below the $130,000,000 ap
propriated by the last session of
Congress, benefits would be made on
a larger percentage.
Cotton must be sold before next
July 1 to be eligible for these sub
sidies. Wallace warned producers to
retain original sales receipts pend
ing announcement of detailed in
structions and regulations.
WE ARE FUNNY FOLKS
ANYWAY
I noticed in a store, one day thi3
week, a large shipment of apple jelly
which had been manufactured out
side the state and shipped in here.
Now there will be enough apples rot
in this county, this year to make all
the apple jelly that several counties
will use. Don’t that sound redicul
ous? (Shipping apple jelly into an
apple orchard. But, the buying pub
lic demands apple jelly and that is
the only way the merchants can get
it, is to “order off” after it, and they
are doing the best they can to meet
the demands of their trade, but I
bet they would much rather buy
apple jelly made from Rabun Coun
ty apples. The jelly mentioned was
put up in an attractive glass con
tainer which adds to the demand for
it, because it is pretty. I dare say
that it is not as good jelly as can
be made from the culled apples of
this section. That is just like we
Americans—to waste more than we
necessarily consume.—Clayton Tri

Caroline Miller’* Ex-Hutband Weds,
Ordinary Reports
Baxley, Ga.—Appling County Or
dinary M. F. Moody said he married
Will D. Miller, divorced husband of
authoress (Lamb In His Bosom)
Caroline Miller, to Miss Jessie Mae
Floyd of Waycross, Ga., in an auto
mobile on June 10.
Miller is 42; his bride 22.
The final decree of Miss Caroline
Miller’s divorce was issued early
this year. She had charged he was
“insanely jealous.” He countered
that “success had turned her head”
