R. Bennett, an ex-, perienced banker, formerly of Camilla,< as the first superintendent of banks,, distinct from the treasury department,! is now in effect. Mr. Bennett has the office in the capitol formerly occupied by the governor’s executive secretary. The new act, which was drawn by Or- j ville E. Park, of Macon, attorney for the State Bankers’ association, is much more comprehensive than the old law under which State Treasurer W. J. Speer operated as ex-officio state bank examiner, and gives to the bank ing department regulatory powers which Mr. Speer did not have. Under it, all charter applications for new j banks must be submitted to the bank superintendent and approved by him before a charter can issue from the office of the secretary of state. The bank superintendent does not have to wait until the financial stasis of a bank is impaired by deficits or mal administration before he can inter fere in its management, but has con stant oversight of state banks and can effect changes in administration and in policy where he deems such necessary for the protection of de positors. Arrests Exceed Figures of 1918 Atlanta. —The annual report of James L. Beavers, chief of police, shows a big increase in the number of arrests by members of the depart-; ment over 1918. Through midnight, November 30th, the Atlanta police had made a total of more than twenty <ne thousand arrests —two thousand more than the total for the previous | year—and this record is expected to approach the twenty-flve-tliousand j mark when the December list is com- j pleted. Os the twenty-odd thousand j arrests already condensed in the chief’s report, 1,252 are of the “state” variety, cases involving misdemeanors ■ and felonies that are handled by the * higher courts.

HALF YOUR LIVING I WITHOUT MONEY COST : Continued Southern Farm Prosperity Dependent on Cutting Produc tion Cost Through Food Making and Saving Atlanta, Ga. —(Special.)—“Tens of j thousands of farmers in the South ! will face the problem of making cot- j ton under heavy weevil infestation j for the first time in 1920. Their sue- j pess or failure under these new con- 1 ditions will be absolutely dependent f | on the degree that there is food, grain j and forage produced on their farms < this year,” said H. G. Hastings, presi- ] dent of both the Georgia Chamber of j Commerce and the Southeastern Fair.- “A few weeks ago the newspapers j carried the report that an Alabama county whs preparing to erect a monument to the boll weevil, because of the good the weevil had done them . in forcing therp out of the ‘all-cotton’ poverty-producing rut, into the pros-1 perity that always follows a diversity | of crops and the production on i acres of every pound possible of food, ! grain and forage supplies needed by the family and live stock. “Our good people here in the South have never, until very recently, taken the home or family vegetable garden seriously as a source of food supply, j It has been looked on strictly as a | side issue, something of little impor tance, something to be attended to the : last thing on the place. The home garden, rightly handled, can be made lo produce half the food needed by • the family and practically without : ; money cost. "The average ‘lick and promise’ sort iof a garden lias little valu". To he I of real value the garden must be plan- i ned for, really prepared for, planted right and kept cultivated through the j reason, and cultivated whenever need ed. That kind of a garden will keep its ownef’s table well supplied with an abundance of healthful food seven or eight months in the year, as well 1 as furnishing an abundance of canned ■ i and dried vegetables for winter use. | , 1 “Every mess of vegetables direct i from garden to table, every can or jar ! of home-canned vegetables from closet i shelves, makes a hole in that store bill that is always a terror when ‘set | tling’ time comes. “Good home gardens have been real i nfe savers to thousands of southern ! farmers who have gone ’flat broke i trving to meet : tore bills. A good : gard'-n will cut the store hill until its | size i negligible. Give the garden a fair chanc< and a square deal in 1920 ■ and the re ult will be agreeably sur j prising-’’ Post Your Lands.
