met Tuesday, March 30, at 1 o'clock
in Prof. G. C. Adams’ to elect officers
and to decide on what of a house to
build here in Covington.
The stockholders voted to capitalize
at $5,000 with a privilege of increasing
to $25,000, also voted to build a ten
thousand-bushel house here in Coving¬

We will store sweet potatoes .his

for the entire season. This house noi
only stores these potatoes but cures
We prefer that all that store with
us put their potatoes in bushel crates
will be furnished by the com¬
at cost. Storing in crates gives
us a marketable product and in a uni¬
container.
We will also buy potatoes from those
do not wish to store with ns. We
give market price for them at the
they are sold.
You can afford to raise more po¬
now for you will have a ready

want to cure them for your own home
you will have a place to put thepi
where you will save 98 per cent of
T
Sweet potatoes are our best crop
and all that has kept this crop from
being one of our best money crops has
been the keeping of the potatoes. The
storage house will solve both problems
for us like it has for the farmers of
South Georgia.
This is the best movement yet start¬
ed in interest of finding a market for
the farmers' products and we earnestly
request that you support the move¬
ment by co-operating with us.
The farmers and business men of
Mansfield are planning to build a house
>f their own, realizing that the saving
of the potato is their biggest problem
in making potatoes a profitable crop.
We need more than two houses in
this county for the potatoes that are
:ro\vn for home use.
If you haven’t a storage house near
get busy and help make these tv.<
Otises a success, so you will have a

Oil Under Savannah Investigated
Savannah.—Currents of flowing oil
underneath the c»tv of Savannah are
among the possibilities being invest:
gated just now. Recently the city ha
bored three great artesian wells, P. 1)
Boler, of the firm which has been
sinking artesian wells here, foufid suf
ficient evidence, it is said, to warran
the bringing of an expert geologist tc
Savannah to make thorough testing ol
the indications.
To every parent and every teacher
iu Newton county we would like to
make this appeal:
Try to get every girl anti boy in
your home or school between 10 and
18 years old enrolled in some kind of
i htb work this year.
The great value and importance of
mob work is fast being recognized over
the nation. It is not only educational,
hut provides inspiration and social con¬
tact, and so develops qualities of lead¬
ership.
Clarence Poe, editor of Progressive
Farmer, says: "Any farm father or
mother could well afford to pay $10
apiece for flic privilege of entering
any son or daughter in club work this
year, and thousands would no doubt
do so if club work were a commercial
proposition and agents were traveling
over the South trying to get members
enlisted. Now that the service is of¬
fered to all ’without money and with¬
out price,’ we should be no less eagei
to take advantage.”
It should he a matter of interest and
pride to the people of Newton county
to know that from the first Boys' Corn
Club organized in the South by vonr
present School Superintendent has
grown the nation-wide Boys and Girls
Agricultural Clubs.
It. is already getting late for many
kinds of club work and many of the
rural schools will soon be closed, but
before closing the teachers and parent*,
should leave no Stone unturned to en¬
rol) every eligible girl and boy. En¬
rollment cards and blanks will he left
at the schools on our next visit, and we
.hope that hundred? of these blanks will
be properly tilled out and returned to
us.

MITCHELL PALMER
• Acvertisement *
Attorney General Mitchell Palmer
Hie only nation-wide candidate before
the people of Georgia in the primary
of April 20; the only candidate whom
y'ou can logically support without
throwing your vote away.
Always intensely loyal to the Demo¬
cratic party before the war, dining the
war and since, he has ever supported
its great principles and stands faithful
to them today. It was Mitchell Pal¬
mer who, as alien property custodian
during the war, seized seven hundred
million dollars of German property in
the United States, making possible the
early settlement of the Lusitania and
other American war claims.
It was Mitchell who drove tire Reds,
Radicals and Anarchists from Ameri¬
ca.
It was Mitchell Palmer who tackled
the High Cost of Living with the re¬
sult that it has already begun to come
flown and will, before long, be restored
to normal.
It was Mitchell Palmer who came
out boldly for the League of Nations
to prevent future wars, either without
reservations or with them, so,long as
they do not destroy Mitchell its efficiency.
As a citizen, Palmer’s pri¬
vate life is above reproach, anil your
vote for him on April 20. means a vote
for the highest type both of Ameri¬
canism and democracy.

EQUAL FOOTING
FIFTY MILLIONS^ FOR CHINA
Negotiations Are Progressing Rapidly
And Smoothly—Big Loan For
Chinese Republic
Washington.—Japan has informed
the state department of its adhesion
to the arrangement under which the
bankers of the United States, Great
Britain, France and that country will
enter a consortium for the financing
of China.
It is officially stated that the u«
gotiations have progressed so well that
it will not be necessary to await the
return to this country of Thomas W.
Lamont of New York, who is in the far
east as the representative <>t the Unit¬
ed States group, to begin the execu¬
tion of the plans of the consortium.
These contemplate a loan of approxi¬
mately two hundred and fifty million
dollars to China, in installment^ ol
fifty million dollars, for the, improve¬
ment of Chinese finances and inter¬
nal works, none of it which can be
applied for military purposes.
Japan Agrees To Consortium
Shanghai, China.—Japanese offi¬
cials and hankers have expressed a
desire to enter, on the same term*
as those accorded other hanking
groups, the consortiupi by which the
United States, Great Britain, France
and Japan would take a dominant
rule in the financing of China, ac¬
cording to Thomas W. Lament of
New York, a member of J. P. Mor¬
gan & Co. He has been in Japan con¬
ferring with financial leaden.
U. S. TREASURY SHOWS
DEFICIT OF $214,000,000;
RESERVE BANKS WARNEO
Amount Necessary For April And
May Is Not Disctosed, But The
Treasury Will Borrow Much
Washington.—Governors of federal
reserve banks are warned by the treas¬
ury department that the government
will be a heavy borrower in April ana
May despite the March reduction of
$705,660,000 in Hie public debt. The
number or amount of treasury certifi¬
cates of indebtedness which will be
necessary to meet the national needs
was not disclosed, but another issue
of such obligations is expected in the
near future.
It is explained that while “import¬
ant progress” has been made iu low¬
ering the gross debt, it is a mistake
to “assume” that a reduction equal
to that in March can be had next
month. Fluctuations will occur in the
amount of the outstanding debt and
these will follow tbe payment of in¬
come and profits tax installments, of¬
ficials assert.
For the first nine months of the
fiscal year, ending June 30, the treas¬
ury shows a deficit of $214,000,000.
But during that period, the peak of
the war debt was reached and a com¬
parison of the public debt by months
since August 31 last, reveals a sub¬
stantial reduction both in the pernio
neat and floating obligations, Secre¬
tary Houston says.
May Lift Ban On Russian Trade
Washington.—The ban on trade re¬
lations with Russia soon may be lift¬
ed, officials here say, although the
recent American proposal to the su
preme council for concerted action to
this end by Great Britain, France, It
aiy and the United States has tempo¬
rarily been deferred. The Russian
co-operative mission expected to ar¬
rive in London within ten days, it fs
added, and the allies are believed to
be awaiting the conference with the
members of the mission before answer¬
ing the American suggestion. What¬
ever the allies decide, officials say
it is probable that formal notice will
be given here soon that restrictions
now in force may he withdrawn.
Trotzky Looking For Peace, Is Report
London.—A news agency dispatch
from Copenhagen says an unconfirmed
report from Warsaw declares Leon
Trotzky. Soviet war minister, proposes
to visit London and Paris to negotiate
a definite peace.
House Orders Probe Of Gasoline Price
Washington.—The federal trade com
mission has been been directed by
the house to make immediate nvesti
gatior. into the causes of the recent
advance in prices of ga-soline, luel oil
and kerosene. A report not later than
Juno was called tor under a resolution
adopted without a record vote, and
which also asked that the commission
determine- whether “any combinations
in restraint of trade exists betweou
those engaged in the oil business.”
There have been many complaints pre¬
sented to the Uouvse.
Vote for “Hob” Gaifhr for Slieritt.
