by the State Department of Edu
cation to obtain an accurate cen
sus of children of school age in
I Georgia, according to Superinten
dent Ballard.
The failowing letter has been

"The most important request
that I will make of you during the
year is to superintend the distri
bution of the school attendance
cards khat you will receive shortly
and constantly watch and see that
they are properly filled out. You
can readily understand how dif
ficult it is to get accurate statis
tics when 16,000 teachers are be
ing used to make them out. There
fore, I urge that you constantly
overlock this work, at least month
ly, and see that the cards are be
ing made out correctly.
'lt is our intention to account
for every child in Georgia between
the ages of 6 and 18 years, wheth
er in school or not .and try in
cases cut of school to find out the
cause. The summary of these
cards that you will return to this

LOCAL LIBRARY LAUDED
FOR GOOD WORK DONE
Mrs. W. C. Merritt, librarian for
the Carnegie library here, has re
turned to Americus from attending
the library association which met
in Macon three days of last week.
Mrs. Merritt stated to a reporter
today that the meeting was filled
with inspiration infused into it by
Miss Wheatcroft, supervisor of
small libraries- in ; the state, who
spoke to the librarian's of the splen
did work accomplished in the small
er town and rural districts through
the medium of the calculation c-f
books.
Miss Wheatcroft especially com
plimented the work of the Americus
library, dwelling particularly on the
work done in the schools of the
county and in circulating reference
books ainpng the students -of the
rural institutions who have not free
access to a library.
The work of rural circulation will
be enlarged for 1924, according to
the librarian, who plans to bring
before the rural student body the
advantage of the Carnegie institu

MOVIE STRUCK GIRLS
UNABLE TO BE STARS
HOLLYWOOD, Cal. Dec. 6. (B
Associated Press) —Scores of young
girls, movie-struck, arrive here ev
ery week, most of them with no
recommendations beyond flattering
notiebs in home-town papers, ac
cording to the Hollywood Chamber
of Commerce, which has started a
campaign to warn young persons
throughout the country of the fu
tility of finding screen jobs, un
less they are qualified and have
been encouraged to apply at the
studios.
The Chamber of Commerce esti
mates the population of Hollywood
at 85,000, of whom, it states les_
than 15,000 are engaged in the
film industry.
The girls who drop in from the
ends of the earth all are willing - to
become stars, but most-of them are
unable to find even minor parts.
With their funds exhausted, many
of them turn out to be a prooiein
for social and civic workers.
The Chamber is endeavoring to
spread broadcast information about
how few the chances are for cine
ma glory and how many are the
trials and privations on the path tc
such an ambition. |
SEEK POSTAL REDUCTION
FOR NEWS PUBLICATIONS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 0.-t-Repre
sentative Kelly, republican, Penn
sylvania, introduced a bill Monday
to reduce postal rates on newspa
pers and periodicals. The measure
would repeal the last two increases
made under the war revenue law of
1917.
Mr. Kelly said that "with practi
cally no exception war taxes have
been removed from all other indus
tries” and that it was “highly dis
criminatory to make publishers pay
the presemt exorbitant postal rates
which are unjust and unfair to both
publishers and subscribers.”

GIVES “SUE DEAR’
WONDERFUL PRAISE ,
“Sue Dear,” the musical comedy I
to be presented at the Rylander ,
theater Friday night with its New;
York cast has been proving just
as great a success through the
South and the following criticism
is taken from the Augusta, Ga.,
Chronicle of Nov. 14:
‘‘Sue Dear played to a good audi
ence at the Imperial last night and
will play to a much larger one next
time, for now that "Sue Dear” is j
known here she will be warmly wel
comed on a return visit. They have
together produced a clean, clever,
charming comedy and some bright
melodious music that will make this
an outstanding theatrical event
wherever the play goes. It is a
little J>lay that relaxes a tired
brain, and refreshes a weary mind
and that entertains from the be
ginning to the final chorus. The
company that presented it here has
been well selected, and while there
are no .great of wonderful voices,
there are a number of very pleas
ant ones., and of a far higher class
than is usually heard in a road
company. Ethel Clark and Eleanor
Bennett as Minerva and Sue both
sing some very charming numbers,
both in solo and duet. John Hen
drick’s fine voice was enjoyed in
every number, and George Thorn'
sang with fine effect in his solo. I
“My Little Full Bloom Rose.” But
the musical number that made the;
hit of the evening was the male;
quartette “Foolishment,” by Thorn, |
Hendrick, Reilly and Elwood. They ;
had to respond to about a dozen |
encores.
The humor of the show was I
sparkling throughout, owing chiefly!
to the cleverness of John Hen-1
dricks, and Jay Elwood. No bet
ter juvenile comedian has ever been
seen here than Jay Elwood, and we
hope to see him return every sea
son. The highest class feature to
“Sue Dear” is the dancing, which |
is exceptional throughout the en
tire show. To begin with, the
chorus 'dances well, and with the
pep and spirit that a chorus must
have to make any effpet. All of
the girls dance well, and among the
soloists, Adeline Foley did a very
clever dance in the first act, and
in the second, Ethel Clark, one qf
the most beautiful little toe danc
ers we have seen in many seasons, 1
delighted the audience in both her
solo dances.
But speaking of dancers—Leona
Woolworth, as Zoe, could not possi
bly be surpassed in the subrette
line. She wal beautiful to lock
at, and thoroughly fascinating. She
and Jay Elwood make a wonderful
combination.
One of the cleverest things in
the show was the parody on
Chauve Souris,” that could only be
fully appreciated by those who
have seen the Russian sensation.
Altogether, "Sue Dear” is a very
delightful little play, and it is hoped
that it may come on a return visit
before the season is over.

THOMAS COUNTY FARMERS
PLAN TO GROW TOBACCO
THOMASVILLE, Dec. 6.—A
good acreage will be planted in to
bacco in this county for the com
ing season. From various sections
reports come that farmers plan to !
go into the business. There plant
ings will be more in the nature of
an experiment in most cases. While
it is known that the weed grows
well in the soil of Thomas county,
it needs a practical knowledge
from experience to tell just what
it will take to grow the crop het a
and how much may be realized
from it. Every farmer wishes to
find out the value of the crop for
himself before he goes into it on
too large a scale. The banks of
Thomasville are behind the move
ment.
Five Hundred and fifty thou
sand square feet of fly and insect
screen cloth will be needed in the
United States next year, accord

ciation.

Wheeling, W. Va.
WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT CO.,
CHICAGO, ILL.
Gentlemen:
Being a sufferer from indigestion and constipation,
through your Wheeling distributor, Mr. Erbacher, I heard
of the wonders of Whole Grain Wheat. I started t<s use
same and cantrulysaythatithascompletelycuredmeofcon
sarne and can truly say that it has completely cured me
of constipation and indigestion, and as a nourishment for
nursing mothers, I consider it wonderful. I would like
every nursing mother to try it and use it. If I can be of
any further help I am billing to do so.”
MRS. HARRIET JOHNSON.
Whole Wheat Grain
This potent food is the natural wheat berry (the only sin
gle food known to man which contains in balanced combina
tion all the sixteen elements required each day for normal nu
trition) in its whole form just as it comes from Nature’s lab
oratory with nothing added and nothing taken away, and is
wheat in its supreme nutritional effect, becatlse it is the first
wheat civilized man ever ate that has been cefoked ready to
serve without oxidation, distillation, or evaporation effects,
the method of cooking being protected by the United States
and Canadian Governments. It is not whole wheat flour, but
is a food after the form of peas and beans, and more potent
in its nutritional effect than any cooked food ever before pro
duced, because the cooking has not demineralized nor oxidiz
ed its mineral constituents. !
It is never sold through grocery stores but only through
authorized distributor. It comes in hermetically sealed san
itary 11-ounce tins (ample for four servings) and is sold in i
packages of not less than one dozen (a 24-day supply because
regular use is essential to results) delivered for $2.00. Guaran
teed to improve the user physically and mentally when used I
twice daily for 24 days or money refunded.
