■THURSDAY AFTERNOON. MAY 29/1924 WTO MD HIT SHIPMEHTS GflWB Heavy Traffic in These Now Is Being Handled By Growers Near Tifton TIFTON, May 29. —The tomato and potato plant shipments from Tifton one day this week totaled 1,163 crates containing 1.250 to 1,- 600 plants each, making a total of a little more than one and one-half million plants which have been shipped. Most of these were tomato plants bought by Bert C. Keithly for the large canning companies in the m‘d dlc west. One extra express car was put off in Tifton Monday but this was nbt enough to hold plants, as only about a million plants c.V in one car, and with the truck shipments every ex press car passing through Tifton is filled with plants and truck. The shipments of plants for the balance of the week are expected to be about the same as Monday’s ship ment, wnile the truck shipment will get heavier as the truck ripens un less the growers get together and load car shipments by freight. The shipment of plants depends largely on the weather. With fair weather the shipments will continue large but rain will interfere with pulling and naturally make the ship ments smaller, while it is raining. $15,000 LOSS IN COUNTY FARM FIRE ALBANY, May 29.—.Thirteen mules, about fifty hogs, a consider able quantity of feed stuffs, farm machinery and fertilizer were lost in a fire which destroyed the live stock barn at the county farm about 3 o'clock tihs morning, causing a to tal loss of $12,000 to $15,000, which was only partially covered by insurance. When the night watchman arous ed him about 3 o’clock, Capt W. J. Pinson, county warden, stated, the building was almost a solid rqass of flames. There was nothing to indi cate how the fire started. The fact that the building had a metal roof confined the flames somewhat and probably prevented the spread of the flames. FOR WORKING PEOPLE The best of workers get out of sorts when the liver fails to act. They feel languid, half-sick, "blue” and discouraged and think they are getting lazy. Neglect of these symptoms might result in a sick spell, therefore the sensible course is to take a dose or two of Ilerbine. It is just the medicine needed to purify the system and restore the vim and ambition of health. Price 60c. Sold by Carswell Drug Co. , Americus Drug Co.

EPIDEMIC OF TWINS STRIKES CITY OF BADEN BERLIN, May 29.—The tiny City of Baden, in Austria, has beer, seized by a strange epidemic, ac cording to dispatches from Vienna. It is an epidemic of twins. In the last few weeks no less than 10 pairs of twins were report ed to the vital statistics department, and the city has only a few thou sand inhabitants. At the Zita Home, the maternal hospital of Baden, more twins have been born in four weeks than in the last 10 years. The city boosters are enthusiastic over the rapid growth of their home town but prospective fathers walk around with dark care in their loo'ks. The news of the arrival of a new pair of twins spreads like wildfire through the city, produc ing a flutter in every home. NEW ERA.

Every one is planning to go on the camp the ninth and expects to have a good time. The world moves, according to scientists, at the rate of 66,600 miles an hour, and you must go some to keep up with it. • THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER ' HFLIM WOULD WE W BIG IMPS Chemist Tells Advantages Pos sessed By This Country in Aerial Navigation WASHINGTON, May 29.—He lium would have prevented the burning of the Dixmude, ZR-2 and the Roma, Dr. Richard B. Moore of New York City, formerly chief chemist of the United States Bu reau of Mines, declared today in an address on “Recent Develop ments in the Recovery of Helium from Natural Gas” before? the ne troleum chemistry division of the American Chemical Society. ‘ln addition to the disaster to the Dixmude,” Dr. Moore continued, “the ZR-2 burned over Hull, Eng land, and the Roma burned at Lang ley Field, Va. In each case the dis aster was preceded or accompanied by mechanical troubles, but these need not necessarily have been fa tal to any of the crew had these air ships been filled with helium. “In other words, the last three big disasters have all been accom panied by fire and have beeene pri marily due to fire. In addition, a number of small blimps have also burned and it is time for the facts to be thoroughly known and ap preciated.” Dr. Moore said that the export |of helium should be forbidden by federal legislation, as the United States possesses a practically mon cpoly of this gas. Helium, he as serted, has far-reaching possibilities in commercial aviation, but these would be endangered by the con struction of hydrogen ships, which he thought, would probably burn up. “The United States possess the only large supplies of helium bear ing gas in the world,” Dr. Moore continued. “The gas belt contain ing helium extends through Texas, up through Oklahoma, southeastern KKansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, and comes back through West Virginia to Kentucky, and the richest gas in Texas, Oklahoma and Southeastern Kansas. ‘With helium, it would be impos sible to destroy an airship with a single incendiary bullet; it would be necessary to rip the bags to pieces by means of a large bomb or shell before the airship could be brought t 0 the ground. In future wars, airships will be built suffi ciently large to carry a number of small fighting airplanes and these' can be dropped or recovered by ti e airship at will. “It is not difficult to appreciate what a fleet of such airships could do to a city like New York, Lon don or Paris. Fifty-five million feet ships each one carrying six air planes and 20 tons of bombs would do immense damage to any city and would be well protected by the fighting planes that the ships would carry. This country has practically a monopoly of helium gas and it is strongly advisable that exportation cf this valuable asset should not be allowed. The cost of helium is being cut so rapidly that within a year or two it will be virttually as cheap as hydrogen.” Even if Congress does extend its session all will be lost. The weath er will be too warm for them to work much. “Gets-lt” QUICK, easy, painless ' CHRIS CALLOUSES AND nof!
