CHILD ARTIST IS
ACTOR WONDER
IN GREAT FILM
Children of the stage and the
motion picture are ever a constant
wonder to grown-ups. The latest ju
venile wonder to be seen on the
screen is Master Ben Alexander, six
year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. N. B.
Alexander, of Los Angeles, who ap
pears as the Littlest Brother in D.
W. Griffith’s “Hearts of The World,”
at the Opera House next Thursday,
November 6, both matinee and night.
This little fellow’, so small that he
appears almost a babe in arms, truly
is a wonderful child actor. While
“Hearts of The World” has been a
tremendous triumph for Mr. Griffith
and for the beautiful Lillian and
Dorothy Gish, surely when the final
score is counted, all who have seen
this remarkable production will give
credit to little Ben as being wholly
of the Order of Merit and the. War
Cross for bravery.
This little chap accompanied Mr. i
Griffith and his company to France ;
and to the battlefields, where, within i
actual range of the giant guns, he
proved himself as brave as any of his;
older associates, acting his beautiful ■
scenes often during bombardments i
by the Germans. In one scene es- j
pecially this tiny youngster disked (
his precious life to help in securing
a very vital situation in the story. In 1
this scene, by a fortunate circum- 1
stance, little Ben was unharmed when i
'buried under an avalanche' of plas
ter and laths. When the audience
look upon this scene and see the tiny
there is a catch at the heartstrings,
for to many it appears as though he J
wer- caught in the awful holocaust.;
When the dirt is dug away and his'
little form moves the audience sighs
with relief on seeing him blink
through the dust and filth ; And when
he looks up and smiles showing that
he is unhurt, there is a generel feel
ing of gratification.
All this and more 'is brought out so
remarkably by little Ben that it is
difficult to believe he is of such ten
der years. His emotional acting is
unusual, and he never fails to bring
team to the eyes of his audience
when, with his own little cheeks wet
with the tears of sorrow, he bids fare
well to his big brother who is going
forth to fight for France and for ‘
liberty.
Little Ben will merit watching.

12-Months Market For
Georgia Hogs Is Urged
VALDOSTA, Nev. I.—A meeting
of the Lowndes County Live Stock
Association, called by President W.
W. Webb, stressed the importance of'
a radical change in the marveling ofi
hogs and' other live stock, to the end
that more uniform prices may be se
cured the year round.
Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, stare veteri
narian, was among the speakers urg
ing growers to prepare their hogs
for market at all seasons of the year
instead of selling only in the fall and
winter, which is now largely the cus
tom. To bring about the condition
desired means, in the opinion of live
stock men, a revolution in the pres
ent methods of feeding hogs. Food
crops for every month in the year
must be grown.
Hog prices slump every fall with
the flood of animals going into the
packing plants to go up again with
the advent of spring and summer
when the average hog raiser has no
hogs to sell. Georgia stock raisers,
it is declared, are losing enormous
sums every year by the present meth
od of putting their animals on the
market at one season only. As a
result of the meeting here many of
Lowndes county’s stock men an
nounce that they will change their
methods the coming season.
To Consider Standard
Sweet Potato Crate
MACON, Nov. I.—A meeting of
interested growers, shippers, dealers
| and delegates from railway com
panies, chambers of commerce and
farmer organizations, has been call
ed to assemble here at Macon, No
vember 11 to consider the advisabili
ty of adopting a standard crate for
shipping sweet potatoes.
It is not the purpose of this meet
ing, it is stated, to require thes?
crates that may be adopted, to ap
ply to the shipment of the present
crop which is already well under way,
but to prepare for it in time for next
year’s crop.

HIGH TIME FOR

COTTON RAISING
ATLANTA, Nov. I.—The Ameri
can Cotton Association that is now
being organized in Georgia and all
over the South is an organization
that will be of -immense value to the
ten Southern states that are in the
organization, according to cotton ex
perts who are here today consulting
with state and national officers at
the state capitol.
As pointed out by State Director
D. F. McClatchoy, the yearly pros
perity of the cotton countries is |
wrapped up in the success of the cot
ton cl ip and an organization to sta
bilize the price of cotton by limiting
the supply to the demand will insure.
a profit instead of a loss certain
years.
“The production of cotton has
been uncertain long enough ’ says
Mr. McClatchey. “The farmer has
been a victim of circumstances long I
enough and it is high time they are
organizing to insure decent prices I
for their cotton so they can cope with
