SKETCH OF FIVE EXECUTIVES
AS TO THEIR RELATIONS
WITH NEWSPAPER MEN.
CHICAGO, Ill.—Theodore Roose
velt ‘“‘broke the ice” at the white house
for meetings between the president
and newspaper men, but it remained
for President Harding to establish the
“ideal” system of the Tuesday and
Friday press conferences, Arthur 'S.
Henning, for nine years chief Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, said in an address to the
students and faculty of Medill School
of Journalism oi Northwestern Uni
versity.
In his talk on “What's Going on
at Washington,” Mr. Henning gave
brief sketches of five presidents as to
their relations with newspaper men
at the capitol; ruefully termed the
United States supreme court the “on
ly sacred thing in Washington—or in
the country, for that matter” and de
scribed congress as “‘a human comedy
rivaling Balzac—a small stage yet as
broad as the nation.”
President McKinley, Henning said,
had many close firiends among thv‘
correspondents while he was in con
gress, but became aloof when hci
reached the white house. |
Roosevelt, on the other hand, he
said, would even receive the news- |
paper men while being shaved in a
little dressing room adjoining the ex
ecutive offices and despite lather and
blade he was, as always, “voluble and
emphatic.” :
The speaker described President
Taft as the possessor of the most
highly developed sense of humor of
any occupant of the old mansion with
the possible exception of Lincoln. He
was the only president who never lost
his temper under questioning, how
ever searching, Henning said.
After President Wilson entered of
fice with a declaration for ‘pitiless
publicity,” he rapidly broke under the
strain of what he called improper
guestioning. He first lost his temper,
then lectured the correspondents and
finally suspended the conferences al
together, Henning said.
Henning continued that in Presi
dent Harding he finds “accessibility,
frankness, straightforwardness and
sympathy” and wondered if this were
not due to the fact that the president
is a newspaper man himself.
As to the supreme court, Henning
said going behind the scenes “‘simply
is not done.”
“1 would have no qualms in asking
a president about an.impending poli
cy, and might get information,” he
said. “Put I would get a rebuke and
no information if I asked a supreme
court justice about an impending de
cision.”

NUMBER OF GEORGIA CHIL
DREN OF SCHOOL AGE 900,-
352. OFFICIAL FIGURES.
In the past five years the school
census of Georgia has jumped from
840,861 in 1918 t 0.900.352 this year.
These figures have been given out by
State Superintendent M. M. Parks, in
whose department the entire census
of the state has just been completed
and the totals for each of the counties
added. The summary giving detailed
census information, showing the in
creases in each community and in
which the percentage increase was
greatest, has not yet been compiled
but will be ready for release by the
state department in a few days.
The figure given out by Dr. Parks
show the total number of white school
children registered is 524,133, an in
crease of 52,381 or 11.1 per cent in
the past five vears. The state’s whole
per centage increase over the census
of five vears ago is 7 per cent.
The total number of negro school
children registered is 369,107, an in
crease of 7,110, or 1.9 per cent in five
years.
From the two the average increase
figures 734 per cent,
The comparison five years ago
showed an increase in the, census of
1918 over that of 1913 to have been
43,389 whiie school children, or 10.1
per cent., and 2,950 negroes, or 4-5
of one per cent. The total increase on
that census over the pervious one was
46,289, or 5.8 per cent; this latter fig
ure comparing to an increase of 7.75
in the present census for the whole
state, which is indicative of ‘a greater
attention being paid to the education
al requirements of children. Much of
this showing is directly attributable
to the operation of the present com
pulsory education laws of the state.
Two Thousand Farmers
Have Signed Pledge
North Carolina Agriculturists to Stay
At Home and Work.
A total of 2,278 North Carolina
farmers have signed the pledge. In
this case the pledge is a promise to
live at home, and is the result of a
movement begun early in the year by
the extension department of the state
college and the state department of
agriculture. ®
Throughout the state school teach
ers held meetings in their school
houses and explained the purpose of
the pledge. Farmers were asked to
sign the agreement with the state,
with the reward of certificates of hon
or*at the end of the year.
The campaign was begun hurriedly
and more pleasing results are expect
¢d to follow, according to workers.
The pledge signed by the 2,278 farm
ers contained the following ten ob
jectives:
Ten Big Goals.
“Raise enough corn and hay to car
ry me through 1924.
“Raise enough meat to supply my
family this year.
“Have a 12-month-in-the-year gar
den.
“Provide milk and butter for my
family the whole year.
“Keep an average of 30 hens on my
farm during the year.
“Set out fruits, small fruits and ber
ries in my orchards.
“Work for richer lands by plant
ing soil enriching crops.
“Enroll at least one of my children
in club work.
“Add some home convenience.
“Beautify my homestead.”

Terminal companies did not do so
well. listing gross ecarnings of $346,-
66282 and operating expenses of
$653,692.31.
' The difference between the gross
earnings and operating expenses do
‘not represent profit, according to the
report, as no allowance was made for
taxes, current depletion or replace
'ments. Deducting these items, each
class of utilities set up a deficit "with
‘the exception oi the telegraph and ex
press companies.

THE DAWSON NEWS
6,000 FARMS SHOW
RESULT OF SURVEY BY U. S.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL
TURE ANNOUNCED.
A return of $Ol7 to the owner-oper
ator for the use of $16,400 oi capital
and labor of the farmer and his family
during the year 1922 is the average
shown by a survey of over 6,000 rep
resentative farms just completed by
the United States department of agri
culture. These farms average some
what larger in size and value than the
average of the United States, accord
ing to the 1920 census.
This return included $715 cash—
the margin of receipts over cash out
lay—plus an increase of $202 in in
ventories of crops, live stock and ma
chinery. In addition the average farm
produced food and fuel consumed on
the farm, estimated to be worth $294.
This $715 cash balance was all the
average farm made available to the
owner to pay his living expenses and
take care of debts.
Sales of crops amounted to $Bl6,
which was 41 per cent of the cash re
ceipts of $1,972. Sales of live stock
and the products of live stock amount
ed to $1.114 or 57 per cent of cash
receipts; miscellaneous receipts were
$42 or 2 per cent of cash receipts. Cash
expenses amounted to $1,257, which
included hired labor cost of $331 fer
the year, live stock $204, feed ' $175,
taxes $174, machinery $123, fertilizer
$57, seed $43 and miscellaneous $l5O.
The results of the operations on in
dividual farms. which make up the
average of $917, ranged from a mar
gin of $38,000 of receipts over expens
es to a deficit of $34,000 of receipts
under expenses. Fourteen per cent of
the farms failed to break even, the
survey shows. About two-thirds of
thé farms rcturned less than $l,OOO
cach. Twenty-eight per cent returned
$1 to $300; twenty-three per cent re
turned between 3500 and $1,000; four
teen per cent between $l,OOO and $l.-
300; seven per cent between $1,500
and $2.000, and only eight per cent or
one farm in every twelve returned
more than $2.500 net, for the year.
The size of the farms was 252 acres
on the average and the reported value
of land and buildings $13,600. The
value of crops, live stock and ma
chinery on hand at the beginning of
the vear was $2.800, making a total
capital of $16,400.

Drink Water ‘
If Back or
Kidneys Hurt
Begin Taking Saits if You Feel
Backachy or Have Bladder
Weakness i
e wT |
Too much rich food forms acids which
excite and overwork the kidneys in
their efforts to filter it from the system.
Flush the kidneys occasionally to re
lieve them like.you relieve the bowels,
removing acids, waste and poison, else
you may feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, the. stomach
sours, tongue is coated, and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, the channels often get irri
tated, obliging one to get up two or
three times during the night. .
To help neutralize these irritating
acids and flush off the body’s urinous
waste, begin drinking water. Also get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy, take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys may then
act fine and bladder disorders disappear.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for vears to help clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys and stop bladder irri
tation. Jad Salts: is inexpensive and
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then to help pre
vent serious kidney and bladder dis
orders.
By all means, drink lots of good water
every day. - Have vour physician exam
ine your kidneys at least twice a year.
