PAGE FOUR PEACH MOTH PRESENT W DANGER TO CROP Government Laboratory Warns Growers to Keep Close Watch •for the Pest in Orchards FORT VALLEY, January 2.9 The government and state labora tory has just issued a warning to peach growers anent the new and dangerous insect pest of peaches, knotyn as th e Oriental Peach Moth, introduced into the United States on flowering cherry trees from Japan. During recent years this pest has spread from its first established infestation in this coun try io Northern Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and probably other states. The larvae of the Oriental peach moth attack the new shoots of peadh trees, killing the terminal leaves and thereby causing a gen eral stunting of the growth of the tree. These injured trees have a bushy appearance. As high as 90 to 100 per cent of all terminal buds may be killed, although as a rule ; usually from 50 to 70 per cent are injured. The injury is not confined to the twifjs, but the larvae also work in the peach fruit. In some Elberta orchards in the North 40 per cent of the fruit during th e 1923 season j was damped by Oriental peach motji larvae. There are four broods of- this insect each season in the North, and in all probability there would be more in the South, should the insect become establish ed here. Unfortunately control measures on the whole have been lather unsatisfactory to date. The insect appears to be a most diffi- A NEW START UP YOUR SLEEVE Suppose your business fails I —is suddenly destroyed your home burned your valuables lost? ’’Will you have anything on which to make a new start?

Rylander Theater, Friday, February 1 THIXIRLS: “FLAMING YOUTH’’ IS MODERN EXPOSE Is the jazz on the decline? “Decidedly not,” is the implied answer of Warner Fabian, author of “Flaming Youth,” the picture attraction at the Rylander Theater cult pest to control. There is some possibility of this insect being disseminated by means of nursery stock, and it is thought that perhaps it may have been brought int othis country in that manner. However, the chief means of infested fruit. It has re cently become known that peaches from the Northern Oriental peach moth infested area have been ship ped into several of th e state adjoin ing Georgia. In one adjoining stat e rather typical Oriental peach moth twig injury has been found. The damage from this pest would perhaps be greater than that experienced from any other peach pest should it become established in Georgia. The general spread in the state could perhaps be prevent ed or retraded if infestation re ceived attention as soon as they be come established. Therefore, Geor gia peach growers are urged to be on th 0 look out for this new pest, and immediately send injured fruit twigs, or any suspicious ‘worms' or insects in fruit to the laboratory at Fort Valley.

That “Good'Morning, Dearie” and “Sally” are both musical come dies pure and simple may account for their phenomenal popularity. “Good Morning Dearie” is more than musical comedy. It almost ap proaches to the original form of melodrama, for the action is de cidedly melodramatic though re lieved by continual comedy with musical interpretations. It is like seeing New York by airplane and “rubberneck” buss to see this har lequinade. The original New York produc tion is carried intact, the company appearing here being the only company presenting “Good Morning Dearie,” and Americus is the only city of its size in Georgia playing this big attraction, which the man agement of the Rylander claims is the best to be present here this season. Seats will be placed on sale at Rylander box office Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock. MANY CANDIDATES TRY FOR VENUS When George E. Wintz chose “Venus” as the title of his new 1923-24 extravagaza and set out to assemble a congress of loveliness in keeping with the alluring name of the beauty goddess he declared him self in for more tribulation than ne reckoned with. There is such a thing as having them too beautiful. Besides the worry, Wintz is put to considerable expense to keep the charming maidens in his employ. Nearly one thousand young wo men aspirants were interviewed be fore twenty four were selected. I: is acknowledged that never have two dozen young girls bean assemb led on a single stage in America'.. Now rival revue producers have utilized every known method to en tice the celebrated “Venus” girls to join their organizations. An other source of trouble is the atten tions of ardent swains in the cities visited by the company. To guard this entourage of pulchritude Mr. Wintz has provided chapterous. Thus far his protective methods have proven successful with the result that the full beauty personnel will be seen here when “Venus” makes her appearance at the Rylander Mrs. B. M.

SUPER-PRODUCTION “SALOME ’ IS COMING The monster spectacle of the screen, 'Salonje,” is coming to the Opera House on Wednesday and best book by America’s best tfomanWriler Qjißiiack OXEN’iafe & Gertrude Atherton LVI (Continued) "Is he still in love with her? Are you sure he didn’t come here to ask her to marry him?” “If he did he had his journey for his pains—although I can see that it would be a highly desirable com bination from his point of view. But he’s not In love with her. I’ll stake all I know of men on that." “You are sure?” “As sure as that I’m alive." “Well, I’ll take the morning train for New York.” "Lee," said Mr. Dinwiddle im pressively, “take the advice of an old man, who has seen a good deal of men and wcraen in his day, and stay where you are until you hear from Mary. Some sort of crisis has arisen, r.o use blinking the fact, but if you burst in on her now, while she is Madame Zat tfany. encased in a new set of triple-plated armor, you may ruin all your chances of happiness. Whatever it Is let her work it out —and off —by herself. I made her promise she would not leave the country without, seeing you again —for I didn’t know what might be in the wind—and when she had given her word she added that she had not the least Intention of not seeing you again, and that it was quite possible she would return to the camp. If you go down you'll spoil everything.’ "I suppose I can trust you. Din. but I've seen plainly that you don't want me to marry her.” “That is true enough. I want nothing less—for your sake; and Hohenhauer would be a far more suitable match for her. But I don't believe you even question my faith ’’ “No. I don't. You’re a brick. Din. But I’m unspeakably worried —almost terrified. I have never felt that I really knew her. She may have only imagined—but that is impossible! How in God’s name am I to sit aroupd here for three days and twiddle my thumbs?” "Don’t. Take one of the men and go off on «■ three days’ tramp. Climb Mount Moose. That will give you no chance to think. All your thinking will be in your mus cles.” • “And suppose she should return —or telegraph me tr go to her?” “If she returns id finds yon gone it'll serve her -ght. And she won’t telegra: h before Thursday— if she’s going to sV""hington. Now take my advice -d don’t be a fool.” Clavering shrugged his shoul ders, but he set his lips. “Very well. I won’t follow her. Nor will I forgive her in a hurry, either.” “That’s * healthy. Give her a piece of your mind, have a good row, and then make it up. But let me telDyou, my dear boy, that she was horrified at the thought of that man coming up here, and she only refrained from telling you of the summons, so to speak, because she wanted to spare you any anxiety. There’s no doubt in my mind that she’s as much in love with you as you are with her. . . . You have none, I suppose?” “None. Particularly lately. I hadn’t told you, but I had intended, in a day or two, to ask you if you would let me have the camp for a few weeks. We intended to marry in Huntersville the day the rest of you went out.” Mr Dinwiddie whistled. “No wonder she was furious at having her preliminary honeymoon dis turbed. But if that is the case of course she’ll return. You’re more than welcome to the camp, and I’ll send you whatever you need from time to time. You’ve only to com mand me. •.. . . It makes it. all the more comprehensible. What ever it was that man said to her, she wanted to get over it by her self before coming back to the place where she had forgotten that Hohenhauers and politics existed. I could see how it was with her here. She looked exactly as she used to in the old days, and 1 don’t doubt she felt like it, too. No wonder she resented being forced back into the role of Madame Zat tiany, or Grafln —countess —as he calls her. You must let her thresh it out by herself.” “You believe she will come back?” “If that was your plan. I assured ly do. There isn’t a spark of hu man affection between those two. and Mary never placed herself in any man’s power. I am more and more inclined to believe that he appealed to her for help in his mission here, whatever it is—and It’s not so difficult to guess—and ..hat against her inclination and out of her love for Austria, she con sented.” “Well, it's no use to speculate. There’s the supper bell. I’ll de cide in the morning whether I go off for a tramp or not.” LVII Clavering slept when he first went to bed, for he was healthily tired, but he awoke suddenly at midnight with body refreshed and abnormally clear.

Indeed, there is a host of ver- night, and he put on his trousers and coat over his pyjamas, thrust . his feet into bedroom slippers and went out into the living room. There he put a log on the fire and paced up and down, not unlike a tiger round its cage. He felt as if black bats were flying about his brain, each charged with a different portent of disaster. Once more the unreality of the whole affair overwhelmed him How could he have beep so fatuous as to believe that he had really won such a woman? He remem bered his first impression: that she was on a plane above, apart. They hadn’t an interest in com mon, not even a memory that ante dated their meeting a few short weeks ago. She had lived a life I of which he knew nothing outside I of European novels and memoirs, i She had known nothing of any other world until he had intro duced her to his friends, and he made no doubt that her interest in them was about as permanent as a highly original comedy on the stage would inspire. There was nothing, literally, between them but a mutual irresistible attraction, and that bond recognized so un erringly by both. That bond. ® Would it hold? Had this man offered her some thing that would make love seem insignificant and trivial? She, who had had a surfeit of love long since? Whose eyes bad looked a thousand years old until he had given her mind back its youth as the great Vienna biologist had re juvenated her body. He was entirely indifferent to her old love affair with Hohen hauer. It was those years of politi cal association and mutual interde pendence in Vienna that he feared. He had. when he first met her, ap praised her as a woman to whom power was the breath of life. Am tition —in ;he grand manner —in carnate. She had all the appear ance and the r'r of a woman tc whom the wielding of power, how ever subtly, was an old story. Ha recalled that that terrifying sug gestion of concealed ruthless forces behind those charming man ners, those feminine wiles, had almost made him resolve to "avoid her like the plague." And then he had fallen madly in love with her and forgotten everything but the woman. He had divined even before these last, miraculous days that she had looked upon love with abhorrence for almost half as many years as be had lived, an abhorrence rooted in. a profound revulsion of body and mind and spirit. For nearly twenty years that revulsion had CHEAP MONEY TO LEND We always have money to lend on farm lands at lowest rates and best terms, and you will always save money by seeing us.

The proof was fn her Joyful consent to marry him immediately and remain in the mountains . . and then her complete surrender of the future into his hands. . . . She had during those three brief days loved him wholly, and with out a shadow in her soul. But now? Whatever had hap pened, she was not Mary Ogden tonight, hastening to New York, nor would she be when fn her own house on the morrow. She might hate Hohenhauer, but his mere presence would have made the past live again. She must have known when she went down that mountain that even with her strong will and powers of self-delusion, things could not be quite the same again. Not even if she had re turned with Dinwiddie. Why* in heaven’s name had she been so mad as to go? She could have sent Hohenhauer a peremptory refusal to see him and then gone off on a camping trip that could have last ed until he gave up the game. Shi; must have been mad —mad.
