IT.—Asserting that the proclamation issued by the governor tly setting aside this 'week as “Before You Invert, In vestigate,” Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president of the State College of Agriculture, in a communication to the Georgia Securities Commission, lays stress on the fact that Georgia is “more prosperous this fall than she has been for several years,’’ and gives as his reason for this opinion that Georgia crops will be worth about $50,000,000 more than they were in 1923. “Georgia is more prosperous this fall than she has ben for several years past. This i - due to the fact that our crops will apparently be worth about $50,000,000 more than they were last year. Already, ar tists with juicy plums to offer the public are at work in the state.

A sensitive, poetic strain, rebell ed against the manner in which her neighbors met life. “The heroine of my story is a girl that attended my school,” she relates. “She was quite intelligent and possessed of unusual interests and stood high above the stolid and rather dumb assortment that came to me. I found that she was being literally beaten into submission. 1 did not dare to write the whole blunt truth of her story. People would have branded it unreal and too pessimistic.” Miss Ostenso finally fled the Man itobia country and came to New York .engaging in social work and seeking literary opportunities, but both ends were failing to meet when success and fame came to her.
