The Money You Pay For Service
Comes Back to Georgia
4HtHaT the Telephone Company is a larger spender
/than a collector is a fact known to very few.
The Bell System invests in new plant and spends
for operating expenses, such as wages and taxes,
and for supplies purchased in Georgia during one year,
as much money as it collects from the public for telephone
service.
The millions of dollars we poured into Georgia last
year, no doubt, contributed to the commercial progress
and prosperity of the State, while a large part of the
money we collected for service found Its way bs-jk to
local communities where the telephone workers of Georgia
arc home builders and citizens.
The money you pay is for service, the value of which
it is difficult to estimate. Its efficiency and continued
extension is due not only to the loyalty of faithful workers
and the confidence of investors, but in a large measure
to your cordial interest and co-operation.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
WEEK TO BE MAY 11 TO 18
(A state wide observance of Moth
er’s Day, which comes May 11 this
year, and of Mother and Daughter
Week. May 11 to 18, is being pro
moted by the Georgia Sunday School
Association from its Atlanta Office.
About 15 years ago the celebration
of the second Sunday in May was
observed as Mother’s Day in a num
ber of cities, towns, and villages of
America, the movement having been
founded by Mrs. Anna Jarvis of
Philadelphia. In 1914 by act of
Congress this Sunday was officially
dedicated as “National Mother’s Day”
The Mother’s Day emblem is the
white carnation.
In its promotion of the observance
of Mother’s Day and Mother and
'Daughter Week the Georgia Sunday
School Association has prepared a
program for the Sunday School and
the Church, which can be obtained
upon application, and also a list of
suggestions for Mother and Daugh
ter Banquets, Luncheons, and Teas.
A number of these programs have
been mailed over the State by Mr.
R. D. Webb, General Superintend
ent, and Mr. Webb feels that there
will be a wider observance of the day
and week this year than ever before
in Georgia.
According to Mr. Webb, the pur
pose of Mother and Daughter Week
is four-fold:
To give the Mother a better under
standing and appreciation of her
Daughter.
To give the Daughter a better un
derstanding and appreciation of her
Mother.
To help both Mothers and Daugh
ters to find in the Church and
Church School a channel for the ex
pression of their finest selves, thus
securing in the work and support of
the Church their co-operation.
To bring to a focal point the com
munity-wide interest in Mother and
Daughter relationships.

POTATO ASSOCIATION
MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN
MEETS WITH SUCCESS
According to reports coming from
headquarters of the Georgia Sweet
Potato Growers Association at Val
dosta, the first week of their mem
bership campaign ha s been far more
successful than even the most optim
istic official had expected. It is
said that an acreage equivalent to
approximately 75,000 bushels has
been signed up the first week.
Sign up work has been done in
four counties, including Lowndes,
Lanier, Brooks and Colquitt. Pre
liminary work has been done in sev
eral others, and much interest is be
ing shown in the movement to or
ganize the growers throughout South
Georgia. Interested people have
made inquiries even from North
Georgia.
The plans are to cover some fif
teen of twenty counties of this im
mediate section of South Georgia at
once, after which a permanent or
ganization meeting will be held and
permanent officers elected. There
will be a director from each county,
elected by the members of the par
ticular county. These directors will
have complete control of the business
hffafrs of the association.
The movement has attracted the
attention of the market bureau
fchief at Washington, and he has
promised to send a marketing expert
down in May to give any assistance
he can render. It is understood that
the federal department at Washing
ton is advocating organization of
Southern sweet potato growers, be
cause they recognize the fact that
this is the only way in which sweet
potato growers can ever hope to pro
mote this industry.
ATTORNEYS OFF TO
CUBA INTEREST ESTATE
REIDSVILLE, Ga.—Attorneys D.
L. Stanfield of Reidsville and O. C.
Darsey of Hinesville left Monday of
this week for Cuba to look into an
old estate said to have been left In
that island for parties in this and ad
joining counties, many years ago.
Information thus for given out is
meagre. It is understood however,
that an umber of years ago a resi
dent of this section made extensive
purchases of land in Cuba. After
his death which occurred perhaps
thirty years ago, several efforts were
made to learn the details of the le
gacy, but were unsucessful.
Lately the matter was revived and
Attorneys Darsey and Stanfield have
gone to Cuba to give the matter per
sonal attention and try to find out
more about it.
It is understood that Mrs. D. L.
Stanfield and Mrs. S. W. Sikes of
this city are the only heirs, perhaps,
who now reside in this county. The
estate is said to involve quite a large
sum of money.
