“Wise Club” was selected, and little
pins have been chosen-with owl heads,
quite suggestive, to say the least.

His mother believes htis is little
Jimmie Glass, who dis
appeared from Greely, Pa., May 12,
191, but she is not any nearer find
ing him than before she saw his race
and figure on the film. She was in
vited to see a production of “Judy
Forgot,” at the rooms of the Uni
versal Film offices in New York City
the other day, because those who had
seen the pictures thought the boy re
sembled photographs of Jimmie sent
out months ago. “I am sure it is her,”
said the mother, whose home is now
at 13 Lienau Place, Jersey City. The
film pictures were taken in New York
City. But the company did not keep
a record of the child’s name. A
woman offered him as an actor for the
pictures and tooff him off when they
were finished.

FUTUREON_U BOATS
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 14.—Re
liable information early this afternoon
is to the effect that the United States
will leave to future deevlopments a
decisions as to whether definite ac
tion should be taken by this govern
ment in response to the announcement
of the Teutonic Allies concerning arm
ed merchant ships. The announce
ment warns neutrals to avoid such
ships as after March Ist they are to
be torpedoed and sunk without warn
ing. The interim until March Ist has
been granted citizens of neutral na
tions who might be at sea at this time
an opportunity to reach port.
Today Is The
Day When The
Hearts Whirl
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 14.—St. Valen
tine’s Day in Atlanta, and this is the
day, is celebraed by sweethearts and
friends in a much different style from
that of ten or twelve years years ago,
and today the city chap whose ex
penses are running heavy regards the
approach of February 14 with almost
as much apprehension as Christmas,
particularly if he has several “best
girls.”
A decade ago, the proper thing on
St. Valentine’s day was a pasteboard
“confection” with paper lace trimmings
and a picture of Cupid in the center, or
if that seemed too ornate, a simpler
engraved or lithographed card with a
verse about love and affection.
Today, the expected Valentine from
a loving swain to his lady love is any
thing from American beauty roses to i
diamond necklace.
(THE AMERICUS DAIlt 1 IMtS-KECORDER
What is the average industrious
white farmer worth to his county?
One hundred dollars a year? Five
hundred dollars? A thousand?
We often hear it said of a man: “He
is not worth his salt," or “He is not
worth the powder it would take to
blow him up.”
That is not the kind of man on whom
we are figuring.
Former Secretary James Wilson, of
ti e U. S. Department of Agriculture,
used to say that the average farmer
was worth SSOO a year to his state. He
based that on the estimated value of
the average farm’s annual products.
The last census did not even attempt
not compute the vital value of farm
products, but the agricultural depart
ment .estimated that he average farm
yields produce worth $1,400 a year.
According to the best information
available, the average yield of Geor
gia’s 300,000 farms is about SBOO a
year.
There are - two reasons Why this
state falls below the average for the
entire country. One is because forty
three out of every one hundred farm
ers in the state are negroes ,and it is
a matter of common knowledge that
their yields are below those of the
v.liite farmers.
Another reason is that Georgia’s
farms average but 93 acres, against 137
fcr the entire country.
There are twenty-five per cent, more
one-horse negro farmers than one
horse white farmers in Georgia, but
there are fifty per cent, more whites
running two and three plows than
there are negroes operating farms of
that size.
The farms in Georgia operated by
whites when the last census was taken
a\eraged 118 acres; the farms operat
ed by negroes 58 negroes.
Speaking roughly, it would seem
batt he whites averaged a yield around
$l,lOO each, and the negroes some
thing like SSOO each.
There were 168,000 white farmers
and 123,000 negro farmers in Georgia
in 1910.
Georgia can easily accommodate
100,000 more farmers, allowing 1118
acres to each. That woulfi take 11,800,-
000 acres, and we would still have that
much more land that has never known
a plow or hoe.
One hundred thousand new white
farmmers, each producing farm crops
having an annual value of $l,lOO,
would add $110,000,000 of new wealth
per year. They would do more than
that through the .enhancement in land
values —an increase due to their labor,
their improvements, their deevlopment
Every other land owner would benefit
by this increment. The merchants and
raanufacurers would have from a quar
etr to half a million new cusomers, he
banks new depositors, the newspapers
new subscribers.
