While the Akron cost $5,358
000 this figure included the
struction of a hangar at Akron,
where both the Akron and Macoa
were built, The actual contract
price of the Macon was $2,600,000.
Congress authorized expenditure
of $8,000,000 ‘for the two ships.
Contracts for the construction
I of both crafts were awarded the
Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation in
192g wKtl the p rovis ion that up
on __ ^ „ llceess f U i operation of the
; ^^ ron a second vessel should be
built. The Akron was accepted
by the Navy in October, 1931.
She crashed April 4, 1933, about
two weeks after the Macon was
christened by Mrs. William Mof
fett,’ fett" widow of Rear Admiral Mof
chief of the Bureau of Aero
nautics, who went down with the

TALKS ON FARMS
IN THE COUNTY

the acreage of the landlord, Be
careful on sharp practices they
only serve to complicate your con
tiact and may cause its cancella
tion.
Another practice that has come
to our attention is the renting of
crops to tenants with the under
s anding that they cannot plant
cotton but that all cotton bate is
reserved for the landlord or other
tenants. If you rent a tenant a
crop he has the right to demand
cotton acreage to plant in the same
ratio that the land he rente bears
to the acreage of the farm. If
you rent a tenant ten per cent
of ^jur farm he will get ten per
cent of the cotton base. Be care
ful on sharp practices.
While the most of our travels
over the eouniy recently have been
at night we observed quite a bit
of plowing with some farmers re
porting all their land plowed. We
had a seasonable year in 1934 with
our cotton acreage reduced 40 per
cant but still we are short on feed.
Plant your corn first this year
and on your best land. The rent
ed acres should be made to pro
duce the feed we formerly bought.
People generally are complain
ing of the small growth shown by
their winter clover crops especially
Austrian Peas. We think the
slow growth due to the fact that
the fall was dry and immediately
after the rains cold weather has
been constant. A few warm days
and the crop will look good. You
may note that all small grain is
rather small. Juet watch your
neighbors corn crop after those
winter legumes.

ATTRACTIONS AT
RITZ THEATRE
Things certainly are not always
what they seem!
Circumstantial evidence may of
ten go wrong, Even one’s eyes
may deceive.
This is brought out In the plot
of the hilarious comedy, “Lightn
ing Striked Twice," all-star produc
tion enjoying the acting talents
of Ben Lyon, Laura Hope Crewe,
Thelma Todd, Pert Kelton, Chick
Chandler, Walter Catlett and
“Skeets” Gallagher playing this
Friday at the Ritz Theatre.
The Heroine sees the hero hold
ing the other woman in tender
embrace! It’s an open and shut
case against his protestations of
love and eternal fidelity. Circum
stances pile up in comic situa
tions, skilfully woven together—
but the truth is nothing like the
heroine’s suspicions.
How the hero happens to be in
volved in a sea of troubles through
no fault of his own, how he is
even suspected in a “murder mys
tery,” go to make up a grand
comedy, which is unquestionably
one of the laugh hits of the sea
son.
Tearing at the heart strings
with its human appeal, stirring the
pulse with i.s tense drama and
flooding the soul with its ecstatis
love story, “Romance in Manhat
tan,” which will be shown this
next Monday and Tuesday at the
Ritz Theatre is one of the mosi
satiafying produciions, that has
been presented to moviegoers in
recent months.
Francis Leaderer, fiery interna
tional stage and screen idol, and
sparkling, Titan-haired Ginger
Rogers, head a strange cast.
The story tells, convincingly and
realistically, of love and drama
in the teeming ‘tenements of New
York City, with their attendant
joys and sorrows, inspirations and
di illusions, glorious dreams and
i stern realities.
Karel Novak, a young Caech
Slovakian immigrant, who has
jumped overboard from the steam
er that was carrying him away
from American shares, has found
a friend in Sylvia Dennis, a New
York chorus girl. With her aid,
he finds work and .begins to save
the money necessary to make him
a legal resident Of this country.
Sylvia's young brother, Frank, ob
tains for him his first job as a
news vender. Karel makes an
0 tber valuable friend, Officer Mur
pby of the New York police force,
Lov© dawns for the lonely boy
and girl and just as “Romance
in Manhattan” is about to prove
the exception to the avowed course
of true love and run smoothly,
Fate strikes three blows at the
little group. Karel loses his job
as result of a strike, Sylvia’s show
REGULAR MEETING
KIWANIS HOLDS
Mr. Caswell Speaks on the
Work of Federal Relief
Admiristration
The Kiwanis Club he> 1 their
regular noon meeting at the De
laney Hotel Thursday noon with
President Belmont Dennis presid
ing and T. G. Callaway, Jr.,
Charles Candler and S. C. Can
non in charge of the prqgfram.
The president welcomed Wick
Porter back to the club after a
long absence due to illness, The
members gave him a big hand of
applause as he is one of the most
popular membres of the club.
Mr. Casewell, of '.he Federal
Relief Administration made an in
teresting talk to the club after
he was introduced by T. G. Cal
laway. Mr. Caswell related in
detail several cases the Relief Ad
ministration were helping in this
section and stated the main ob
jective of the administration was
to so equip these people so they
may earn a living and thereby get
off the relief roll, His remarks
were heartily applauded.
Last week’s program under the
direction of Charles Candler was
very entertaining indeed, Miss
Louise Fowler’s dancing class ren
dered an excellent program of tap
dancing. The stars of the show
in the opinion of the majority of
the members were Miss Porter and
little Miss Roebuck, both of whom
evidenced excellent talent and ef
ficient training,
closes, and Frank becomes a tru
ancy case.
In addition, a cheap attorney
turns Judas and hands over Karel
to the immigrant authorities,
The dramaltic complications
which arise, and the surprising de
nouement which results, make an
exciting and gripping story, mingl
ed with sparkling comedy situa
tions.
Francis Leaderer Is superb. His
naive and appealing manner, his
roman ic idealism and his sunny
enthusiasm, make the audiences
see America with new eyes and
life with new understanding.
