its activities ulso include receipt and
distribution of surplus commodities,
selection of boys for the Civilian
Conservation Corps, special child

activities designed to bring relief to
persons in needy circumstances.
For the first time in the history of
this State, pensions are being paid
to blind persons, helping them to
take care of their needs. In Jackson
County, 3 blind persons are being
aided, and others will be added to
the list of beneficiaries ns rapidly as
funds arc made available, it is point-
ed out.
Forty-five children, without par

State Department of Public Welfare
for distribution to the counties.
A detailed report on the activi
ties of the Jackson County welfare
office, as announced by State Di
rector Murdaugh, shows that since
July 1, 1937, 827 applications for
old-age pensions have been filed in

TWO MEN ON WAY TO
FLORIDA WITH JUST
10,000,000 BEES
Pembroke, N. Y.—John N. De
muth, 60-year-old beekeeper, and his
son, Jourdain J. Dcmuth, were en
route to Florida Saturday with 10,-
000,000 bees.
An annual event, the journey was
intended for matchmaking purposes
for the bees. The Demuths will
“liberate” the bees, and they expect
the queens of their “Yankee colonies”
to turn their chnrms on the southern
workers--the honey makers.
“Yes,” the elder Demuth said as
he loaded his trucks with portable
hives in preparation for the sixth
annual trip, “it’s a honey of an idea.
You see, bees brought back from the
south are better workers than those
which winter here. They’ve been
trained for weeks, and have no win
ter laziness to shake off.
“But the truth is, the queen bees
are so attractive to the workers that
in the six years we’ve been operating
north and south we’ve developed a
bigger business in bees than in hon
ey. By keeping the year-round
schedule, we quadruple the
number of our colonies each year.”
This, he said, runs into quite a
number of bees. For instance, last
year 300 colonies went south and
1,500 colonies came back. With up
wards of 45,000 bees in a colony—
well, you can figure the multiple
possibilities yourself, the beekeeper
offered.
At Umatilla, Fla., the Demuths
split up the colonies into skeleton
hives, each with a queen. At the
end of the winter season, they haul
their new colonies back to Pembroke
and a ready market.
DEVELOPING TEMPORARY
PASTURES
The one-pasture system, like the
one-crop system, can usually be im
proved from the standpoint of eros
ion control, according to R. L. Dol
vin, District Agronomist, of the Soil
Conservation Service.
Many farmers in the local area
this fall are developing temporary
pastures of crimson clover, rye, rye
grass, oats and vetch to provide
winter and early spring grazing.
This will enable them to take cattle
and work stock off er regular pasture
early in the fall and keep them off
until the pasture has made good
growth in the spring.
This means that both areas will
benefit from this practice. The
winter legumes and grain will help
to protect the land they occupy
from erosion during the winter
months, and the regular pasture will
maintain a more erosion-resistant
sod if it is too late in the
fall nor too early in the spring.
Another advantage, Mr. Dolvin
pointed out, is that with winter pas
ture available, it will not be neces
sary to feed so much corn. More of
the land ordinarily devoted to grow
ing corn can then be planted to
close-growing crops that will protect
the land from washing.

THE JACKbON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Thomas Jefferson Nickel
Distributed
Washington.—The new Thomas
Jefferson nickel made its debut
Tuesday when 11,000,000 of the
coins went onsale at the nation’s
banks. Many more millions will be
minted as needed.
On one side of the coin is a pro
file of the third president and author
of the Declaration of Independence,
while his beautiful Monticello home*
is represented on the other.
Jefferson becomes the third per
son to be pictured on a regular coin
of the United States. George Wash
ington has been on several denomi
nations and since 1932, has adorned
the quarter, while Abraham Lincoln
has been on the penny since 1909.
The only other individual honored
were on special coins.
For 25 years, the buffalo-Indian
head design was used for the nickel
and 1,212,916,248 of them were
minted/ Before that was the Liber
ty head five-center, but few of these
are still in circulation. Altogether,
the mint estimates that about 1,-
600,000,000 nickels are in use.
After experimenting with two and
three-cent pieces, the treasury be
gan making nickels in 1866. The
coin’s popularity has grown steadily
until, in numbers, it now ranks sec
ond only to pennies, of which there
are 6,600,000,000. Slot machines,
both the gambling and merchandise
vending types, caused a tremendous
spurt in the demand for nickels in
the last few years, pushing produc
tion from 40,000,000 to 140,000,-
000 per year.
Felix Schlag, a poor, young, nat
uralized German of Chicago design
ed the new coin. Participating in
the first public competition of its
kind, he won SI,OOO, just two weeks
after the death of his wife, who had
helped him in the work.
The mints at Philadelphia, Denver
and San Francisco all are turning
out the new coins, which, incidental
ly are made of only one-fourth nick
el and three-fourth copper. The
nickel contains more copper than
the “copper" penny.

STARTS FOR STORE,
LOSES WAY AND
WALKS 50 MILES
Montgomery, Ala.—A 60-year-old
negro woman servant was back home
Thursday after a fifty-mile walk—
to the grocery store.
The servant came to Montgomery
five months ago with Mrs. A. B.
Stutts, after having worked all her
life in the latter’s family home at
Demopolis, a black belt town.
Tuesday morning, Mrs. Stutts
said, the servant started to the
grocery store, u few blocks from
the suburban Stutts home. At a
main intersection she made a mark,
but missed it on her return trip, be
came frantic and rattled nnd con
tinued right on the way she was
headed—down Mobile highway.
At 4 a. m. Wednesday, the Butler
County sheriff called from Green
ville, saying he’d found the woman
walking on the outskirts of town.
She said her employer worked at
“the Capitol,” and he guessed it
was Montgomery. She pointed that
way.
At 5 a. m. Mr. and Mrs. Stutts
started for Greenville.
CHRISTIANS AMAZED BY
GERMAN EVENTS
Dublin, Ga.—The Georgia Chris
tion Convention expressed itself in a
resolution as “amazed, shocked and
horrified” at Nazi treatment of Jews
in Germany and resolved at the
same time to strive “to keep hatred
of Germans out of our hearts.”
The convention also adopted a
resolution protesting state legaliza
tion of liquor.
Favoring government ownership
of munitions factories, the conven
tion went on record as “unalterably
opposed” to the sale of munitions
by American firms to Japanese for
the undeclared war in China.
The Rev. Jere M. Rigers, pastor
of the First Christian church at Sa
vannah, was elected convention
president. Other officers:
W. C. Foster, of Winder, first vice
president; J. R. Chatfield, of East
man, second vice president; L. A.
Cunningham, of Oconee, secretary.
Dr. C. R. Stauffer, of Atlanta,
was named president of the State
Board Missionary Society and Bruce
Nay was reappointed state secretary.
More than 4,000 persons from
Georgia, Florida, South Carolina,
District of Columbia, North Caro
lina, Alabama, Louisiana, Ohio, Tex
as, New York, Virginia and Illinois
registered at the Tallulah Falls pow
er house during the 1938 summer
season. And thousands came who
did not register. North Georgia’s
beautiful mountain section is at
tracting increasing numbers of sight
seers and vacationists every year.

SEISMOGRAPHS MAP
TINY EARTH WAVES
St. Louia University Installs
Sensitive Machines.
ST. LOUIS.—Four seismographs,
the first to be designed specifically
for the detection of minute earth
movements, have been installed at
St. Louis university to obtain defi
nite data about the oscillating phe
nomenon.
The seismographs can detect mi
croseisma, or earth waves that
cause the earth’s crust to vibrate
within a range of I,oooth of an inch,
with accuracy not previously ob
tained, university professors said.
Construction was made possible
through a $5,000 research fund raised
a year ago.
The purpose of the new seismo
graphs is to find some definite facts
about microseisma of which many
theories have been advanced. The
vibrations, believed to travel along
the surface of the earth and some
times reaching a depth of 25 miles,
travel at the rate of three miles an
hour, it was said.
Reverend J. B. Macelwane, direc
tor of the geophysics department of
the university, said the vibrations
interfere with absolute calculations
by precision instruments such as
telescopes and measuring devices.
By determining the nature of the
vibrations errors in other calcula
tions might be more readily deter
mined, he said.
Two of the new machines are ca
pable of magnifying earth vibra
tions 10,000 times. It is hoped to
determine whether the vibrations
move along the earth’s crust or up
and down. Scientists also are doubt
ful of the exact speed they travel
and of the length of the waves, be
lieved to be 18 to 20 miles from crest
to crest.
Golden Gate Fair Will
Lure With Colored Light
SAN FRANCISCO.—For the first
time on a major scale the emotional
character of color will be used in
the lighting effects of the 1939 Gold
en Gate and International exposition
in a manner, it is hoped, to assure
everybody a good time whether he
feels like it or not.
The plans for using colored light
ing effects for swaying the emotions
of exposition visitors was decided
upon following a conference of offi
cials.
Electrical laboratories have per
fected a mysterious invisible light
which it is said will demonstrate to
the fullest the emotional character
of color and the effect which such
lighting will have on the human
emotions.
Among the effects, which it is de
clared the proper lighting will pro
duce, are:
Make men easy spenders.
Give women the feeling of glam
or.
Force romance to blossom.
Surge strength through lagging
feet.
Awaken appetites and tickle jaded
palates.
Awaken the desire to celebrate.
Cause feelings of deep reverence.
In short, the invisible light will
be utilized to put everyone in a
happy frame of mind.
According to exposition officials,
this emotion producing “invisioie
light” is made by using ultra violet
rays which are sent through tubes
that have been chemically treated
to produce a wide range of colors.
By changing the chemical used in
each tube the color can be changed
to whatever shade is desired.

France Now Uses Onions
to Manufacture Tear Ga
PARlS.—Onions have been pro
moted to the rank of war material
in Fiance.
During the iast few weeks onions
have nearly disappeared from the
markets, according to Le Jour.
The price of this cheap bulb rose
and cargoes of onions in French
ports w’ere bought by agents at un
precedented prices. The export of
onions has been restricted.
The explanation is that onions
have now become an important raw
material for the production of tear
gas.
