GEORGIANS ARE URGED TO
PRODUCE AT THEIR HOMES
Speaking before the American
Institute of Banking at their month
ly dinner at the Federal Reserve
Bank in Atlanta last week Charles
J. Haden urged the youth of the
South to stop Southern capital from
traveling “a one-way street—out
ward bound.” He pointed out that
the “dollar that goes the fartherest
is the dollar that stays at home.”
“If the money we send away came
back in the course of commerce,
equilibrium would be preserved,” he
said, “but it does not. Millions of
-our dollars go as far as Oregon for
fk ur. More than ten millions go
north of the Ohio river for butter.
M ore than twenty-five millions go to
the northwest for meats. And all
of this from a state which can pro
duce these items cheaper than the
states from which we buy them, and
save the cost of transportation and
middleman's profit.”

“OLD WYOMING TRAIL” COMING
TO ROOSEVELT
Captivating melodies of the Old
West are mingled with the thrills
and drama of the plains in the days
when pioneers were blazing the
trails westward in “The Old Wyom
ing Trail,” which comes to the
Roosevelt Theatre Saturday. Char
les Slarrett is starred in the pro
duction and Barbara Weeks, Donald
Grayson and the Sons of the Pio
neers are featured.
“The Old Wyoming Trail” deals
with that period when unscrupulous
sharpers were attempting to make
quick fortunes by gathering up land
to sell to the advancing railroads for
rights of way.
The picture is replete with tense
situations, action thrills and power
ful drama. It is highlighted with
many musical numbers of the plains.

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
POULTRY TIPS
Fall pullets should now be in their
permanent laying quarters. Since
cold weather is at hand, see that the
birds are kept comfortable.
Ventilators in the rear of the
house should be closed tight with no
cracks to permit cold drafts to blow
on the birds.
Fall colds are generally started by
crowded conditions, poor ventilation,
drafts and dampness. “An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of
cure.”
To hasten late hatched pullets in
to production, to increase produc
tion of those already laying, and to
prevent fall molt, use lights. A
lantern hong in the house is satis
factory.
Either early morning lights or all
night lights will give good results,
but it is generally easier to use the
all-night system. Where electricity
is available use a 15 watt bulb in
each house or room.
Experiments has seemed to show
that the feeding of oats may help to
prevent feather picking and canni
balism. Where oats are available
keep the dry oats before the hens at
all times in a separate feeder.
November is a good time to have
flocks tested for pullorum disease.
All birds used for breeding purposes
should be blood tested and the re
actors removed.
To have the flock officially select
ed, blood tested, leg banded and ap
proved under the National Plan
costs from 3 cents to 4 cents per
bird, depending on the size of the
flock, plus a 50 cent flock fee.
In using crossbreds for broiler
production, their vigor, vitality and
livability, depends on the parent
stock. Because of the fact that
chicks are crossbreds does not mean
that they are necessarily vigorous.

Legislative action putting in ef
fect the constitutional amendment
tending pensions to Confederate
veterans’ widows will add between
1,500 and 1,600 to the rolls, Director
L. T. (Pat) Gillen of the Confeder
ate veteran section of the public
welfare department said Saturday.
In a report to the general assembly
he said 1,279 widows’ applications
are in line for action. If paid at S3O
per month, the rate for veterans, and
present widows on the rolls, these
new applications will boost the state
pension cost from $48,270 per
month to $86,640, or from $579,-
240 to $1,039,680 a year.
It is reliably reported more than
4,000 banking institutions will pay
about $320,000,000 to nearly 7,000,-
000 persons this year, in the annual
disbursement of Christmas club
funds. There is a slight reduction
in the Christmas club savings funds
of a year ago, but it is still big
enough to indicate that people are
saving their funds for buying things
during the holiday season. The
peak of Christmas club disburse
ments was in 1930, when approxi
mately $600,000,000 was paid out by
about 1,000 more banks than this
year.

CAGNEY DANCES, SWINGS,
FIGHTS IN “SOMETHING
TO SING ABOUT”
The most ambitious feature pic
ture produced to date by Grand Na
tional Films, Inc., is the Victor
Schertzinger comedy with music,
“Something to Sing About,” star
ring James Cagney and featuring
Evelyn Daw, which is coming Thurs
day and Friday to the Roosevelt
Theatre.
"Something to Sing About” is
distinctly out of the ordinary run of
Cagney pictures, in that it departs
from the usual “fighting Irish” type
of vehicle in which the inimitable
Jimmy has commonly appeared and
casts him in the role of a swing
band leader, who becomes a motion
picture star. Cagney’s ability to use
his fists is not demonstrated in the
production, until he becomes thor
oughly fed up with Hollywood af
fections and high-hatting, at which
point he cleans up on a studio full
of yes-men and their bosses In the
very best Cagney fashion.
Auburn haired Evelyn Daw, who
has the featured feminine lead in
“Something to Sing About,” makes
her screen debut in the production
playing the part of an ingenue vo
calist with Cagney’s swing-band.
CARD OF APPRECIATION
Deeply grateful am I for the
manifold expressions of kindness
and good will, expressed with flow
ers, friendly visits, words of com
fort and cheer, which were shown
me during my illness here at home,
and by the faculty, pupils and
friends of Fayetteville, where I have
the pleasure of being a member of
the school faculty. These manifes
tations of interest in my recovery
and welfare will be treasured in
my heart, and will be an inspiration
to me in my future efforts of life.
Sincerely,
Harold Hardy.

ATTICA 4-H CLUB GIRLS
The Girl’s 4-H Club of Attica met
at the club house Tuesday after
noon, November 23, with nine girls
present. The meetihg was held by
the 4-H club sponsor, Mrs. F. B.
Spencer.

“The More We Get Together.” A
prayer of “Thankfulness” was given
by Mrs. Spencer. An interesting
program on Thanksgiving was given.
Some Thanksgiving recipes were

SIX GEORGIANS KILLED IN AUTO
ACCIDENTS
Six Georgians were killed in auto
mobile accidents on the state’s high
ways over the week end and at least
104 persons were killed in auto ac
cidents throughout the nation.
The Georgians killed were Dave
Ben Case, J. M. Tuggle, and Lena
Davis (col.) of Atlanta; Mrs. James
Yates, Macon; Albert Owens, Ca
milla; J. Sidney Smith, Macon.
E-ditor Hugh Rowe of the Athens
Banner-Herald is writing some
strong articles and giving some good
reasons why the Georgia-Tech foot
ball classic should be played an
nually in Athens. The stadium seats
almost twice as many persons as the
Tech stadium; therefore, it would
not be necessary to announce to the
public that all seats were sold out,
and it is so constructed that the
drainage is perfect and the players
would be assured a dry field, regard
less of the weather.
Quite a number of Jackson county
citizens were in Gainesville the past
two weeks serving on the federal
grand and traverse juries. Most of
the cases tried and the indictments
returned were for violation of the
internal revenue laws. H. E. Ader
hold of Jefferson was chosen fore
man of the grand jury.

CHAPTER TWO, THE RAY THAT
BLINDS
As the second chapter of Univer
sal’s “Secret Agent X-9” opens at
the Roosevelt Theatre on Tuesday
and Wednesday, X-9 drops into the
water just before the speedboat
crashes. Harbor police rescue him
and Marker. At the art shop the
blonde beauty, Shara Graustark, is
visited by Baron Michael Karsten,
Belgravian embassy attache respon
sible for the jewels. He leaves for
G-men’s headquarters, where Black
stone is released on a technicality.
X-9 brings in his prisoner, Marker.
Seeing a gun in the Baron’s coat,
Marker grabs it and runs to the
roof, where he falls to his death af
ter a desperate manhunt. Black
stone and his gang search the paint
ings for the bank receipt with a
powerful x-ray machine, after kid
napping Shara. X-9 frees her and
then pursues the gang in a car. The
crooks use the x-ray to blind X-9
and his driver, Pidge. Their auto
crashes.
Rev. Nat G. Long, pastor at Glenn
