PAGE FOUR WHAT’S GOING ON TA FOLLETTE—STONE Q UIZZES—GERMANY IN THE WORLD By CHARLES P. STEWART That no presidential candidate will get a majority—that Congress will have to settle it—looks likelier every day, politicians say. If he runs indepedently, it’s predicted La- Follette, who’s won Wisconsin’s Re publican primaries already, will carry Minnesota, the Dakotas, Mon tana and Colorado, too; maybe lowa Nebraska and Idaho. It’s hardly possible, dopesters declare, against such odds, for either Coolidge or the Democratic candidate, whoever he may be, to beat his main rival plus LaFollette. 'TWAS A SURPRISE Al Smith’s victory in the Wiscon sin Democratic primaries was a sur prise, though it is a wet state. Ex perts admit he must be stronger in the west than they thought. Tins ■with his New York and New Eng land following makes him formid able—perhaps not enough so to win but enough to have a lot to say about picking somebody else. AFTER NEW YORK Harlan F. Stone’s appointment to succeed Atty. Gen. Daugherty is regarded as a Republican bid for New York. Nearly everybody thought Judge Kenyon would get it, but lowa isn’t considered as doubtful as New York, nor has it so many electors. IHE THREE W’S Secretaries of War, Agriculture -and the Interior Weeks, Wallace, and Work now are distinctly in the class under investigation in Wash ington. T. F. Lane, army air serv ice lawyer, warned not to appear before the Daugherty committee, testified anyway. Thereupon Weeks must explain. Wallace is ac cused of trying to keep livestock commission rates high. Work is blamed for inefficiency in the re clamation service. tUtfSIEEDAWERnSEMENTS FARM LOAN MONEY Plenty at cheap interest rate and on easy terms. W. W.

This school is being conducted under auspices of the Women’s Home Dem onstration Council, and already much interest is being evidenced in its success among women here and throughout the county. The proceeds realized from the schools will be used in raising the council’s pro-rata for furnishing Camp Wilkins on the campus of the College of Agriculture at Athens, for the award of a scholarship for the State Short-Course, and if pos sible, the payment of the registra tion fee of $2.00 per girl for a group of girls who may attend Camp Wilkins this summer. Age Limit? From high school girls to grandmothers. “My white haired pupils are often my most in terested ones. They want to know the reasons for their mistakes and failures,” Miss Agnes White who will direct the school, says. “What will we learn?” and then Miss White produces a list of ques tions asked and answered in the scores of similar institutes she has conducted. Take cakes, for instance: “Is there any real value in adding (the liquid and dry ingredients al ternately in making butter cake?” What makes my cake fall after it is taken out of the oven? My cakes always seem too dry: How can I avoid this?” What makes my cake rise uneven ly on top? What makes my sponge and angelfood cakes tough? I like t Q bake cakes in a square and then cut them for individual cakes. How can I keep crumbs from getting in the icing?” ‘O'r pies—my family is fond of custard pies but my custards sink in the middle and get watery or (he crust is soaked with the liquid. How can I avoid this? I have sever al children in my family. What should I include in their lunches? What is the correct kind of dessert to serve with an elaborate dinner? How can' I make my pie crust flakey?” And all these questions are an swered: when possible, demonstrat ed. Wise questions, foolish ques tions questions from newly weds, from tired mothers, from engaged young girls, from mothers oi school schildren; all kinds of questions from all ages. “I like questions,” Miss White sums up. “They show that my pupils are interested.” BUTTS SHIPS SWEET POTATOES TO BERMUDA ATLANTA, April 14.—A. ship ment of Butts county yams has been made to Hamilton, Bermuda by a products company at Jackson, Ga., it was stated at the state bu reau of markets today.

BUILDING BOOM ON NOW AT FORT VALLEY FORT VALLEY, pril 14.—The greatest building boom Fort Valiev has ever experienced is on in the little Peach City. 'J. W. Woolfolk will begin at once the erection of an office building with stores for the ground floor on the corner of Macon and Main Street. This building will be oppo site the Evans building and will add very much to the already improved appearance of the business section. The Edwards Brothers have re cently remodeled their store on Main Street and R. S. Braswell has within the past year erected three stores next to the site where the Woolfolk building will stand. The Standard Oil Company has recently made a purchase involving several thousand dollars here and residences are springing up all over the city. M. L, Sheats has recently com pleted a two-story dwelling house on Oakland Heights and Miss Clau dia Culpepper is building an attrac tive home in the middle block of Col lege Street. Real estate in Fort Valley is booming and many people are mov ing into the little Peach City with an appreciation of the business ad vantages‘here and the efficiency of the public schools. OUTLOOK GOOD FOR Jumper peach crop A I LANTA, pril 14.—The out look for this season’s crop of peaches and apples surpasses anything on record, according to the report of the Georgia Co-operative Crop Re porting Service just issued. Eight'y six per cent of a full peach crop and 87 per cent of the apple crop is expected. The prospect for small grain crops is the poorest since 1918,the report .-tated. After assessing damage by Winter freezes, oats will be less than half the usual crop and both wheat and rye will be far below any recent year, it was declared. A slight decrease in sugar cane is reported and pastures and early gar dens are below normal. An increase of 20 per cent in Irish potato acre age was reported with the condition of the crop somewhat below usual. It must be nice to be Rockefeller and get your gasoline at cost.
