HUGE SUMS PAID TO TRAINED
BUSINESS MEN. THOUSANDS
DRAW $25,000 TO $lOO,OOO.
Stories of huge salaries of actors
and singers have usually been laughed
at as “press agent “stuff,” but statis
tics recently compiled show that sal
aries of $25,000 a year among actors
and singers are common and that
many business executives and heads
of large firms draw a similar amount,
and upward. Hundreds, and perhaps,
thousands, of men and women are
carning $50,000 a year, and in many
cases the salary envelope contains a
weekly stipend which multiplies this
figure many times. i :
So great has become the incentive
to reward special ability that there are
also women in executive positions who
are very near the $50,000 class and
many more are on the way.
High Class Men Scarce.
It is had to find men who are worth
from $25,000 to $50,000 a year, albeit
there 1s a surplus of those who think
that they are. Gen. T. C. DuPont was
once asked the secret of success and
he summed it up in the words: “Only
ordinary work brings ordinary pay.”
There is the quest for the near super
man in the realms of industry and
commerce, and especially is this so in
these days of readjustment and re
construction.
For the presidency of hundreds of
industrial corporations in this coun
try, according to B. C. Forbes, an
annual salary of $25,000 is not unusual,
while much larger sums ar¢ often paid,
Production engineers are receiving
enormous salaries, although they seem
only relatively so, as they are based
on resylts. One well known master of
mechafiical processes is getting $67,-
000 a year, of which $12,000 is fixed
salary and the balance based on out
put.
Risen From the Ranks.
The majority of the really big men
who are drawing big salaries are men
who have worked their way up from
the very bottom. Samuel Rea, pres
ident of the Pennsylvania railroad,
who now earns $75,000 a year, start
ed as a rodman after he left the home
farm at Hollidaysburg, Pa. Elbert H.
Gary, whose salary as chairman of
the United States Steel corporation is
$lOO,OOO a year, was a few years ago,
a struggling lawyer in Wheaton, [ll.
Eugene S. Grace, president of the
Bethlehem Steel company, whose tp
tal salary is $1,000,000 annually, be
gan his career as a clerk in a country
store in Goshen, N. J. Samuel Vau
clain, president of the Baldwin lLoco
motive works, labored for 11 years as
a day laborer in the railroad yards at
Altoona, Pa., before he saw his chance
to enter the Baldwin plant as a labor
er.
The annual incomes of Mary Pick
ford Fairbanks, her husband, Douglas
Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin and other
screen idols have fong been matters of
public gossip. Enrico Caruso, with his
income of $300,000 a year from con
cert alone, heads the list of high paid
singers, but salaries of $25,000 to $75,-
000 a year are common in the dramatic
and music world. But the industrial
world is quickly recognizing genius
in its own line, and the highly paid
industrial experts are now rivaling the
Carusos, Pickfords and Chaplins.
No man is as bad as some other
man thinks he is or as good as some
woman thinks he is.

WILLIAM LAZARUS IS WITH
RELATIVES. CONDITIONS
IN THAT COUNTRY.
QUITMAN, Ga.—A very intefest
ing visitor to Quitman this week is
William Lazarus, a cousin of Louis
and Phillip Lazarus, who has arrived
from the far distant land of south
Africa and has greeted his relatives
for the first time in twenty-two years.
Mr. Lazarus says the climate there
is similar to that of South Georgia
and the white population is about
8,000, but the negroes are numberless,
the majority being the jet black type.
He says that on the coast and in the
towns the white people dominate, but
in the interior the negroes are left to
themselves and are still in tribal or
ganizations and little civilized.
He says that although there is no
such thing as prohibition in squth Af
rica, he does not recall having seen
a negro drunk. It is strictly against
the law to give a negro a drink there
and the penalty is very severe and the
law is enforced. Mr. Lazarus has been
in the livestock business there and
says the opportunities for raising cat
tle are great, as the climate is suitable
and the land is not unlike our western
prairies which afford vast pasturage
for the cattle.
| Peach Leaf Curl. I
~ For the past two seasons leaf curl
‘has been very abundant on unspray
icd trees in this state. :
~ This disecase is due to a fungus, ex
oascus deformans (Berk.), the spores
of which are scattered about on the
trees. These spores germinate in the
spring about the time .growth starts
‘in the peach trees. The spores which
‘have lodged on buds produce myce
lium or roots which grow into the
young leaves as the buds open. The
growth of the fungus within the leaves
results in a distortion of the tissues,
‘known as leaf curl.
‘ Those who have observed leaf curl
know that the disdased ldaves fall
}from the trees early in the season in
'stead of remaining on the trees to
manufacture food for wood and fruit
development.
The fallen leaves are generally re
placed by new leaves from dormant
buds so that later in the season the
occurrence of leaf curl is not so no
ticeable. The ‘fact remains, however,
that the tree has been required to pro
duce two crops of leaves in one sea
son, and thus the plant food which
should have been used to make new
fruiting wood has been used for a
second crop of leaves.
When this defoliation occurs year
after year through successive attacks
of the leaf curl fungus it must natur
ally result in a material reduction in
the growth and fruit yields of the
trees. '
It has long been known that the
fungus which causes peach Jleaf curl
can be controlled by spraying the trees
before the buds open with a copper
spray such as- Bordeaux mixture or
with sulphur sprays such as are ap
plied during the dormant period for
the control of scale. These latter
sprays, such as concentrated lime sul
phur, are preferable because they kill
both the spores of the leaf curl fun
gus and scale, while the copper sprays
do not kill scale. With a fungus which
is so casily controlled by spraying the
presence of leaf curl is generally an
indication of neglect.
The severe outbreak of peach leaf
curl in the spring of 1920 undoubtedly
resulted in the production of large
numbers of spores of the casual fun
gus. Some of these spores are now
on the peach buds waiting Yor a
chance to grow into the new leaves
when the buds open in the spring.
The question as to whether there
shall be leaf curl on your trees next
spring is in your hands, whether you
have a few peach trees in your yard,
a small home orchard or a large com
mercial orchard. If you do nothing to
kill the spores whic¢h are now on the
trees you will have a good crop of
curled leaves, while if you spray with
1 to 7 or 1 to 8 concentrated lime sul
phur before the buds open the first
crop of leaves will remain on the trees
throughout the season to manufacture
plant food and insure subsequent crops
of fruit. J. A. McCLINTOCK,
Physiologist, Georgia Experiment

TIA JUANA, MEXICO,
¢ ’
MECCA FOR ‘LIVE ONES
- et——
CALLED MOST WICKED CITY
IN WORLD. AMERICANS§
SPEND BILLION YEARLY.
Tia Juana, Mexico, called the most
wicked town in the world, is begin
;ning to occupy the attention of both
‘United States and Mexican officials,
following demands ‘from reformers
}that this “wide open” town in lower
California be “closed up tightly. Tia
Uuana is a center of vice, of crime, of
‘gambling, a place where thousands of
American men and women each year
seek relief from their troubles in the
“cup that cheers.”
Moral uplifters are making a drive
to make it impossible for Americans
to frolic at Tia Juana, demanding that
the state department put into effect
severe restrictions against the issuance
of passports. The place is a typical
Mexican frontier town, tawdry and
cheap. There are scores of immoral
women; there are bull fights, gam
bling places, “dope” joints and warn
ings against drinking near beer when
there 1s real beer on tap.
Easy to Get There.
Tia Juana is about two miles across
the Mexican border and 17 miles from
the city of San Diego, Cal. It is pos
sible to go by automobile from San
Diego to Tia Juana in from 20 to 30
minutes, although a remarkably poor
road makes slower traveling prefera
ble. Temporary passports are issued in
San Diego free of charge, while a
small fee is charged for one good for
a year,
One of Tia Juana's most noted ‘plac
es is its race track and the casino, the
biggest gambling house in the town.
The race track has a concrete grand
stand which cost $1,000,000. Every
kind of gambling device, from dice to
claborate faro and roulette outfits, is
to be found. A total of 70 gambling
games may be counted in the casino,
women as well as men being patrons.
The bar of the casino is unscreened
and extends across the entire building.
Almost every kind of beverage is on
tap.
Virtually all of the gambling games
in Tia Juana are said to be “crooked.”
Some people win, to be sure, but they
are in the minority, and sometimes
they do not get out of Tia Juana with
their winnings. There are sorts of
stories around San Diego about per
sons being held and robbed at Tia
Juana. The result is that the resort is
not well patronized at night, except on
special occasions, and by -10 o’clock
the visitors generally are on the Amer
ican side of the border. '
The heavy percentage in favor of
the professional gamblers vields them
a fortune daily. Those who watched
the play on July 4, the biggest day
Tia Juana ever had, said that a con
servative estimate the Americans left
$1,000,000 behind them when they
went home at night. Upon this basis
it is fair to say that the gambling
alone at Tia Juana clears up for the
professionals a billion dollars a year.
Dentist Pulls Tooth
Fram Roaring Lioness
Giant Forceps Used While Crowbar
Holds Open Animal’s Jaw.
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Seven years
ago, under an African sun, Queenie
wobbled unsteadily through the jun
gle, a cub lioness. Today, in the
Brooklyn zoological gardens, she gasp
ed while a dentist, aided by keepers,
ropes, iron bars and great dental in
struments, broke out a blackened tusk
which had given her a toothache. Her
teeth had succumbed to the white
man’s civilization. lodine, cotton bat
ting and cocaine were made ready,
with forceps and probes.
A half hour of uproar and the lioness
was made fast. A side of the cage was
opened and her head was dragged to
thé opening. Then the park depart
ment veterinary began his work, while
Queenie strained at the ropes. Keepers
with a rope about her head held it
down as gently as possible and placed
a crowbar between her jaws.
When Queenie was released she
roared and tried to leap to her feet,
but she was too weak and sank to the
floor.

HOW DOCTORS
Pirst Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets that are Nausea
less, Safe and Sure.
Doetors have found by experience
that no medieine for colds and influ
enza can be depended upon for full ef
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less ecalomel tablets ealled Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style ealo
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go a long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
of the most important factors in en
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu
monia. *
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water—that’s
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating, pleas
ure or work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and yon are feeling
fine, with a hearty appetite for break
fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in
original sealed packages, price thiriy
five cents. Your money will be cheer
fully refunded if you do not find them
delightful.—(Adv.)

'lll Glass of Hot Water
|
|
i Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluices of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.
l Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can, instead,
both look and feel as fresh as a daisy
always by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with pHosphated
hot water each morning. ;
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous day’s indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the
entire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
gplendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A guarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious
ness, constipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism a real enthusiast on the
subject of internal sanitation. Try
it and you are assured that you will
look better and feel better in every
way shortly.
