PAGE FOUR " ffIIDECIM UPHOIOS BfflKS Couple United Since August 18 in Georgia May Put Fears Aside as to Union ATLANTA, August 26.—That “marriage is founded in the law of nature, and is anterior to all hu man law’’ was an excerpt of a deci sion gleaned from the supreme court records*of Georgia which led As-, sistant Attorney General T. R. Gress to change-his earlier opinion, and hold that marriages performed 11 Georgia, when licenses were issued'’ after August 18, were legal. It was a long time ago, way back in 185'9, when the decision was rendered, but Mr. Gress thinks that it justifies his action of reversing his opinion on ’ ■“ the subject. When Secretary of State S. G. McLendon first held that marriages contracted on old form licenses were Issued after August 18, the date of the signing of the new Georgia mar. riage law, were illegal, Mr. Gress upheld the opinion, but after con sulting the law books changed his views.

AGRICULTffIEHRNS’ I SIfIALL DMDINOS Department Report Shows Com mercial Interest Rate Has Not Been Earned Since 1920 WASHINGTON, August 26. - That American agriculture since the slump of 1920 “has not yeildcd a commercial interest return on its invested capital or a fair wage for the average farm operator and his] 'family, is the result of studies com pleted by the United States Depart ment of'Agriculture. “They attempted to .measure the extent to which the farming business has been going behind.” continues the statement, and “the low point of the depression, it is shown, was touched in 1920-21. There was some improvement in the following year.” For the past two years, the report shows, the improvement has been quite noticeable, and the department says indications are that it will con tinue. “Interest paid on total farm in debtedness consumed all capital earnings in the crop years 1920-21 and 1921-22, the studies show,” ac cording to the report. “In the next two years, there was a return of 3.1 per cent on the total capita] in- 1 vested in agriculture including re wards of management. This in- 1 vestment, however, was written down from $79,607,000,000 in 1920 to $59,409,000,000. Land and buildings by themselves were writ ten down from $66,316,000,0000 to $48,300,000. “This is the department’s esti mate of the extent to which the value of property used in agricul ture declined from 1919 to 1923- 24. Land and buildings, machinery, livestock and working capital, make up the total agricultural investment. To arrive at its present estimate of this capital-, the department wrote down the Census figure of 1920 for land and buildings on the basis cf the reported decline in improved farm land values in all parts of the country. “It figured the decline in th? vale of equipment o nthe basis of current prices and estimated pur chases of equipment by farmers. Th.; livestock estimate rests on the de partment’s inventory as of January 1. Working cpaital is estimated at 1 per cent of the total inventory. While 'the decline in the current value of the country’s agricultural property represents to a large de ; giec a paper loss rather than an ac ■ tual loss, it is nevertheless importaid to the large numbers of farmers who bought land and equipment when prices, were at their peaK. “The department has estimated for the o-year period the return on all the capital invested on agricul ture. It puts this rate at 6.2 per cent for 1919-20; 0.6 per cent for 1920-21; 1.4 per cent for 1921-22; 3.1 per cent for 1922-23; and 3.1 ( per cent for 1923-24. Even this meager showing was only made by . valuing the labor of farm operators and their families at no more than the current rate for common labor. ' While agricultural capital as a whole had only the small returns above ’ mentioned, it was paying an aver age of more than 6.7 on mortgage . and other indebtedness.” ; Cfawitafter 1 | It stimulates | v ®PPetite and i -Ji c a,ds digestion. 1| 11 ma kes your |y) g lood do you more SnihiiiMtiißlllEmiiuiHE good.
