iNOT RUNNING AFTER
IGEORGIANS SHORT IN CLASSI
FIED EMPLOYES. HARRIS
GETS A REPORT.
! WASHINGTON.—That Georgians
’do not care particularly for govern
{ment positions or do not wish to go
laway from home to get them is indi
!cated in a report made by the civil
I service commission to Senator W. J.
| Harris.
! Looking out for Georgia's interest
| Senator Harris caused the commission
{to delve into its records and it has as
|certained that while the state is enti
itled to have 936 classified employes
lin the departmental service in Wash
lington there are only 434 on the rolls,
; Senator Harris, not satisfied with
ipnlitics. requested detailed data on-the
subject and the commission in reply
!r‘-cts forth that Georgians do not qual
{ify for the positions, There is little
| response to the appeal through the
lcivil service examinations, and of those
[taking the examinations only a small
!pc'rccntage pass. The demand in
'\Vashinmon for stenographers and
[typists is especially heavy and it is in
|this class that the large percantage of
|employes) must go. The departments
[stand ready to certify eligibles from
| Georgia if they can be obtained, says
{the commission. |
! 19 Took Examinations. |
; Illustrating the situation, the civil
| service commission says that during
}thc past year only nineteen people inl
| Georgia took the examination ior stc-i
inographer and typist and of these on-|
{ly six passed. This exgmination was |
irecently changed in Georgia to include |
;juniur stenographer and junior typist|
and eighteen took this examination, |
[with three passing. For junior typist |
lonly fourteen took the examination
land four passed.
| The commission has informed Sen-|
lator Harris that co-operation will be |
s\\'dcmncd on the part of (korgians]
I\\'llo desire these government positions |
{in Washington, as permanent appoint
{ments are made on the state appor
‘tionmcnt basis and that although while
|thc forces in Washington are l)cing|
jreduced new appointments are always
being made to fill vacancies by rctirc-l
'mcnt, resignatbn and otherwise.
' It is remarked by the commission
ithat Georgians are perfectly willing to
take examinations for places where
!thvy can remain at home, or in the
|state, but when it comes to lcavingl
Ithe state it is quite another thing. |

iWorld s Most Famous }
l Cheese Maker Is Deadi
{
i Made the Grazing Land in Oregon!
i Worth $l,OOO an Acre.
\ Charles Ray, of Cloverdale, Oregon,
built the first Tillamook cheese fac
|tory, and took the first world’s prize
lfor Tillamook county cheese. He re-i
cently died at the age of 74 years.
l The Tillamook cheese factory has
|grown into a tremendous Oregon as
set. It has developed one of the
strongest, most progressive co-opera-|
tive organizations in the United
States. This organization proves that
farmers can stick together. They have
lived up to the co-operative creed in
Tillamook to their everlasting profit.
They sell their cheese for the highest
price on the market, approximately
$2,000,000 worth a year, and it is
brought up to so careful a standard
that no one knows from which of the
several factory units a cheese may
have come. The dairy industry has
made Tillamook county pasture lands
worth up to $l,OOO an acre for straight‘
grazing; there is possibly no other
such pasture valuation on earth, savel
in Denmark or Holland, where cheese
and butter are the principal products.

RANDOLPH MEN MAKING
GOOD SYRUP FROM SUGARI
| Produce a Product Which Is Said to|
! Be Appealing to Taste. l
| A new syrup making industry on a
small scale has been in operation inl
Randolph county for the past two or
Ithrce months. The proprietors are J.]
lh Lanier and his son, Sidney Lanier,
living about half way between Cuth
‘l)crt and Shellman on the Cuthbert
{Dawson highway.
{ They buy sugar and convert it into|
{a liquid form. This is reduced to the
[proper consistency, flavored and cann
icd. This syrup has a flavor that is ap-
Ipealing and it has become popular lo
{cally. No attempt has been made to
produce it in wholesale quantities for
| shipment.
1 As the cane crop in this section isy
[small it is possible that Messrs. La
nier will continue to make sugar syrupt
| during the winter.—Cuthbert ILeader.
‘ANOTHER BIG FARM HAS
| BEEN SOLD IN LEE COUNTY
The Jones Plantation of 1,800 Acres
Bought by Crisp County Man.
Several land sales have occurred re
icently in Lee county. The last report
|ed is that of the D. C. Jones planta

lis, of Crisp county, who has already
|taken possession. The amount paid
!V\’as‘, near as could be ascertained, $50,-
{OOO, It is said Mr. Mathis will make
|extensive improvements on the place
and will operate about 40 plows there
|next year.

THE DAWSON NEWS
‘.CALENDARS FOR NEXT YEAR
l PICTURE BEAUTIFUL WO
MEN WITH LONG TRESSES.
! ATLANTA, Ga.— Calendars for
{1926 are bearing pictures of beautiful
| women, well gowned, with glorious
|tresses piled high on their heads, it
iwas pointed out here today by artists.
| The question of the moment is, will
lwomen follow this suggestion and try
¥tho “new” aid to beauty, long hair?
| Milliners and hair dressers in the
| Peachtree Arcade, Atlanta’s mecca
|for fashionable women, agree that they
| will not. “Women are too happy with
Ishort hair to even think of letting it
lgrow,” the permanent wave artist as
{serted. .’
| Hats are still made with small head
{sizes so that only the women with
{shorn heads can wear them. The sil
'houctte to the close fitting hat is al
'ways good, and even now that hats
‘are becoming larger the brim is cut
'away in the back. The woman with
la large knot of hair on the back of
;&hcr head can never wear this type of
hat.
| For the more conservative older
‘women, fashionable Arcade milliners
‘asserted, more exclusive manufactur
;crs are making hats with larger head
sizes, and many of these are sold to
'Atlanta women.
Styles in short hair are as varied as
ever, it was stated. One of the newest
cuts is a close shingle in the back
with the hair worn rather long on the
sides and waved. Anything from a
short “ponjola” or ‘“sheik” bob to a
longer cut with a longer shingle can
be worn this winter. Anything, so
long as it is bobbed.
GETS ITS FIRST SCHOOL
IN A THOUSAND YEARS
That part of Czecho-Slovakia re
public in Europe known as Ruthenian
Carpathia is to have its first schooll
in 1,000 years. There are about a half
million people in this section of thel
motley republic and they have an am
bition now to become a second Switz-l
erland. The people are almost unbe-l
lievably primitive in their agricultural
pursuits and industries.
The optimist enjoys the holiday;
the pessimist thinks about tomorrow
when he will have hash.
