of illness. We have our room and
boards decorated with rabbits, bask

Easter. We still have several who
haven’t missed a day since school
started. We tope they can continue
their good attendance record until
school closes. Our new Readers are
very interesting. We are also en
joying our work books. We are de
lighted with the fact that we are
to have seven and a half months of
school this year. We feel as though
we will be able to complete more
work, therefore making us better
prepared for the next grades’ work.
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
This week we are having our
monthly tests. We are studying
very hard for them. We have se
lected the Operetta we will give for
commencement, and will begin

JANE WITHERS IN “CHECKERS”
AT ROOSEVELT THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY
It’s “Checkers” Jane Withers
now!
The girl who has just been voted
one of the six most popular stars of
today wears the proudest racing
silks on the track in “Checkers,” her
latest Twentieth Century-Fox pic

Luck forgets to act like a lady.
Stuart Erwin and Una Merkel

bad boy of “Borrowing Trouble,”
plays Jane’s first screen “crush.”
The picture is one of Jane’s best

USED BY CORNELL
•
Julius M. Elrod, Professor of Agri
culture at Berry College, is the
author of a thesis on rural com

used by students at Cornell Uni
versity in their class work.
Mr. Elrod did the work this sum
mer as his term paper in a course
under Professor Sanderson, head of
the department of Rural Society
Organization at Cornell.
Professor Sanderson, in a letter
to Mr. Elrod, asked his permission to
use it in a book he is writing. He
further commended the work saying
it showed clearly the influence of
the family in rural community life.
Mr. Elrod is a native of Jackson
county, and received his high school
education at Martin Institute.
CHAPTER 5, THE MYSTERY
SHIP
Terry saves himself from the fall
ing elevator by thrusting a heavy
beam in such a way as to catch the
impact. It is learned that a supply
of zandoide, a product necessary for
the manufacture of the gas, reached
Honolulu but apparently disappear
ed. The America-bound freighter
Adamic carries no record of zan
doide being shipped, but Terry sus
pects that it is disguised as some
thing else, so he hastens via Hawaii
via the China Clipper, and joins the
crew of the Adamic on the east
bound voyage. Benton, the cargo
master, is a Boroff man. Matters
come to a showdown, and the crew
is trapped in the hold. Benton
causes a boiler to explode in Terry’s
face.
At Roosevelt Theatre Saturday.
Some articles crowded out of this
ferae will appear next week.

JONES FAMILY’S “LOVE ON A
BUDGET"
The Jones Family’s proud new
newlyweds get off to a flying start
in “Love On A Budget’’-— but Dad
has to fly to the rescue!
It’s a tremendously important
venture Bonnie Jones has embarked
upon in getting married and having
her own home. And things look
fairly peaceful until irrepressible
and irresponsible Uncle Charlie
blows in.
That fixes things so that young
love has its heartaches, and the
whole family—headaches.
America’s favorite family makes
an uproariously funny story of this
newest 20th Century-Fox picture
opening Tuesday and Wednesday at
the Roosevelt Theatre.
Dad Jones, Mother, Granny and
all the kids take a hand in telling
the young couple how to run their
home.
Don’t miss this picture. You might
learn how to run your home.
Next year students at the Univer
sity of Georgia will have to work
harder than ever to achieve the
honor of Dean’s List, according to
a recent announcement by L. L.
Hondren, dean of administration.
Beginning with the 1938-39 session,
the Dean’s List will appear only once
a year. It will be composed of the
upper 5 per cent of the freshman
class, the upper 5 per cent of the
sophomore class, and the upper 5
per cent of juniors and seniors in
each department of the University.
At the present time a student’s name
is placed on the List if his general
average for one quarter is 87 or
above, and the list is published three
times yearly.
The Millen News editorially la
ments the fact that “local business
fails to support local newspapers.”
Unfortunately, not many publishers
of weekly papers are financially able
to give all their time and efforts to
publishing a newspaper without
some income, but few of us are will
ing to starve, even for so good a
cause. However, except for foreign
advertising, and a few loyal local
business houses, the lot of most
weekly newspaper editors would be
a poor one. The small town merch
ant has never,_ so far, become “Ad
vertising Conscious.”—Millen News.
The quarterly meeting of the
Stewards of the 90-odd Methodist
churches in the Athens-Elberton dis

tendance.
In Georgia and Mississippi there
are fewer autos on the farm than in
any of the other 46 states. But in
other states, figures recently com
piled by the U. S. department of
agriculture reveal, only three farm
families in each 100 fail to own an
automobile. *
The contract for the first unit of
the rural electric line that will be
built in Hart, Elbert, Franklin,
Stephens, Banks and Madison coun
ties, has been let to Richardson
Bros., of Carrollton, and work is ex
pected to begin within two or three
weeks. This unit will cover a dis
tance of 102.6 miles, and will cost
$71,507.00. The entire project is
375 miles in area and will ultimate
ly provide lights and power to
around 2,000 customers, represent
ing an expenditure of $398,000.00.
The general outlook for grain
crops is said to be the best in many
years past, and most of the grain
crops are farther advanced than is
usual at this date.
