TWICE-A-WEEK VOLUME 52. TWO GEORGIA GIRLS LOVE SAME MAN; WOULD WED AND SHARE HIM Marietta, Ga.—Ruth Webb and Ruby Webb, twins, are in love. They both love the same man. And the man, they say, loves both of them. He can’t tell Ruth from Ruby, Ruby from Ruth. He can’t telL which he wants to marry. When he makes love to Ruth he can t tell her from Ruby and when he makes love to Ruby he’s not sure whether she’s Ruby or Ruth. The question is: “Can three live as cheaply as one?” And, if so— where? “We’d both marry him,” the Webb twins say, “if the law would let us.” He would, too, they say. He’s in New York, and he writes them regu larly. Every time he Writes he has to write two love letters, one to Ruby and one to Ruth. The letters are different—not mere mimeo graphs!—and each just exactly as ardent as the other. No favoritism ORE. SCHOOL LAW BEFORE PUBLIC Washington, October 4.' —The Ore gon school law, which may be taken to court for test as to constitution ality, attracts much attention from national capital educators. That the law is misquoted by its enemies, and not well understood by the general public, is contended by its friends, who maintain that it will not, sa charged, abolish the private school. In support of this contention many quote the phrases of the law which state, not that a child may not at tend a private school, but that par ents or guardians must send children to the public school during its term. Nothing is said about not sending a child to a private school at other times. A further quotation showing that the private school is not elim inated by the law reads that “in the foliowing cases children shall not be required to attend public schools. . . "Any child who is being taijght for a like period of time by the parent or a private teacher such subjects as are usually taught in the first eight years in the public school; but before such child can be taught by a parent or a private teacher, such parent or private teacher oust re ceive written permission from the county superintendent, and such per mission shall not extend longer than the end of the current school year. Such child must report to the county school superintendent or some person desrgnatel by him at least once every three months ami take an examina tioi til the work covered. If, after such examination, thi county super intendent shall determine that such child is not being properly' taught, then the county superintendent shall order the parent, guardian, or other person to send such child to the pub lic school the -emainder of the school year.” PROMINENT GEORGIANS WED IN WASHINGTON, D.

SEND US YOUR JOB WORK The News-Herald Ruby and Ruth are 21. They’re blondes. They fell in love “at first sight.” You see, they both saw him at exactly the same moment. He saw them both at the same moment. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Yes, there were two of them! From that instant his perplexity began. “I wish,” says Ruby, “there was a law legalizing polygamy. We’ve simply got to marry the same man. All our lives we’ve shared every thing. Why shouldn’t we share a husband?” ‘Why not, indeed?" says Ruth. “We wear the same clothes, and we never quarrel about who's to wear them, e’d share a hnsband happily, and we wouldn’t quarrel over him.” Rubby and Ruth have sever been separated, day or nighth, in their lives. j ' ' \ The Misses Webb are well known in Lawrenceville visiting the family of Hon.

MAINTENANCE OCCUPIES AT TENTION BOARD Atlanta, Ga.—Although the state highway department is looking for ward to the greatest program in its history for 1924, it is not overlook ing the maintenance of rooads al ready constructed, and maintenance work will be kept up throughout the winter months, according to Cnair man John N. Holder, of the state highway commission. Chairman Holder stated Saturday that criticisms are being received as to the maintenance of rooads in some sections of the state, and all the complaints are being investigated and the maintenance engineers in structed to remedy the situation. The same maintenance appropria tions have been made for October, November and December as for the summer mqnths, Mr. Holder stated. In the monthly bulletin issued by the state highway department Sat urday, the attention of all workers was called to the importance of maintaining all rooads in the state. Suggestion* Welcomed. “The State Highway department welcomes suggestions and construc tive criticisms that will help build rooads or better their condition,” Mr. Holder said. The plan of the highway depart ment for 1924 is to build a greater number of miles of state aid roads than have been constructed in any previous year, it was stated, and an effort will be made to maintain the highways more thoroughly and effi ciently.. The 1924 program of the depart ment was outlined as follows: “The construction program calls for at least fifty miles paved: one hundred and twenty-five chert or gravel and six hundred miles of sand clay or soil clay roads. Of the dirt roads onehalf will be betterment work, that is, roads that have been partly improved and are in fair con dition will be bettered by some re locating, some widening and by ad ditional draining and surfacing. ~ Georgia’* Quota. “Georgia’s quota of federal funds for next year will be in round num bers two millions of dollars. The gas tax for the three months in 1923 and the year 1924 will probably be one million dollars. This can be used only for construction and for match ing federal funds. Pledges to use the gas tax funds will not be made by the State Highway board until a thorough review is made of the entire Stale Aid road system. “A careful study is now being made of the entire state system with the purpose of ascertaining where the gas tax money will be of great est benefit to the state system in building links so sa to have a con necting system; in giving assistance to counties that are financially weak and in helping counties that have thus far not had state or federal funds on their highways. Since the gas tax will supply onely one-half the amount necessary to match the federal funds allocated to Georgia, the counties of Georgia will be asked eo supply the other half.” HOUSE WARMING GIVEN REV.

Ca.h or credit ATLANTA BUFORD ROAD AID URGED A committee oj citizens from Ogle thorpe, Chambleei Norcross, Suwanee and Buford Friday afternoon appear ed before the Georgia Highway board to request that road from Atlan ta to Buford be improved and includ ed in the state highway system of roads, as part of the highway from Atlanta to Gainesville. The present Atlanta- Gainesville highway goes by way of Decautr and Lawrenceville to Buford, and it was pointed out that the Chamblee-Nor cross route is about seven miles shorter. The highway board, however, was unable to accede to the request of these citizens, by reason of the fact that it has absorbed ail the mi’ekge allowed for road construction under both federal and state laws, that its state highway system as now laid out has been apporved and recorded in the office of the secretary of state and at ashington, and that it is therefore impossible to undertake any additional highway construc tion or to change the houtings. Under the federal law, only seven per cent of the post road mileage in the state can be improved under the federal aid program. This seven per cent has already been allotted in full for Georgia. The state highway system is also limited to a given mileage under the law, and it was, therefore, pointed out by the board that no new con struction projects can be considered until the law is amended to allow for them. Members of the board expressed themselves as heartily in sympathy with the desires of the committee which waited upon them insofar as the desirability of improving the road in question is concerned, but clearly showed its helplessness to undertake any new road construction, outside of that already mapped and approv ed, for a number of years to come. There were between thirty and forty citizens who waited on the board for this hearing, which was held at the East Point offices at two o’clock Friday afternodn.—Constitu tion. Financiers Returning From National Convention Sound Note of Opti mism—See Prosperity for South. Atlanta, Ga., October 4.-—Return ing from the meeting of ithe Ameri can Bankers Association at Atlantic City. Atlanta bankers and other financiers who passed through here, are agreed upon one vital point, as gathered from their talk—the busi ness outlook is good. The bankers see continued pros perity in business and industry. The Cities are in fine shape financially amd their business men are doing well- But the bankers also have noted a cloud. There has been too much rural de pression. The farmers have not prospered with the business man and manufacturers of the cities. Crops have not been what they should be and prices of farm products have not kept pace with the advancing prices of the things the farmer buys. But the bankers say this is chang ing. Rural depression' is passing. The parts of the country hardest hit b ; this rural depression are recover ing. With the famring situation' more promising and with business and in dustry distinctly on high and safe ground, the bankers are optimistic, according to John K. Ottley, presi dent of the Fourth National Bank of Atlanta, whose bank, as well as the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, in which he is a director, keeps in close touch with agricultural condi tions throughout the south, rendering extensive financial aid to farmers. Mr. Ottley secs continued prosper ity in the country at large. He is able to note that, if there has been a seasonal slump during recent weeks, it is nothing to worry about, for beneath is a business and great er industrial activity than this coun ts has known since before the world war. It is pointed out, and verified by the bankers, that the highest wage in history are being paid in the cities asd by industry there is more constructive work in progress this year than for many years, possibly no previous year equaling it; manu facturing is active and there ap pears a good and steady demand for all manufactured articles, and mer chants are showing their confidence in the future by placing targe orders.

The editor is grateful for an oppor tunity to be at Suwanee last Sunday and to have participated in the dedication of the new house of wor ship there. It was the culmination of one of the most remarkable pas torates that Georgia has ever known and one which will never be forgot ten. Rev S. F. Dowis came out of Mer cer University and went Into the army camp to do hi 3 bis in great war. Following the armistice he ac cepted a place with the Baptist $75,- 009,000 campaign field force in 1919 and later accepted a pastorate in his native community in Gwinnett coun ty. He sat out at once to erect houses of worship at Duluth, Suwanee and Norcross. The stress of hard times came, but he did not falter. The faithful members of these churches questioned their ability to go forward with the ambitious pro grams, but he did not falter. That’s the secret of his great life, he does not falter. The years have passed and now he is resigning his work and has entered the seminary at Louis ville. He came back last Sunday for his final service and it was to dedi cate this new house of worship. The building was packed with peo ple as few auditorihms have ever been filled. I have never seen any thing like it. Asd the beautiful thing about it all was the fact that there were people there from both his other pastorates where he has erected houses of worship, both from Nor cross and Duluth. As the service developed they had the presentation of some memoria's and to my great surprise and delight they presented a beautiful Gained glass window as a memorial to Pas tor S. F. Dowis. I think I have never seen it on this fashion before. And when this memorial was presented b / one of the deacons, the great audi ence was in tears that sprang from deep emotion. Fallowing the preseru tation of the memorial window came the presentation from the women of the church of a beautiful silver lov ing cup. Here again is something new to me. I have seen' many gra cious expressions of the affection of a peop’e for their pastor, but never before have I seen this idea used so effectively. And he is Si ill a very young man. It is most enheartening to see such affection oni the part of a congrega tion for a pastor who has done his best to be a shepheld of the flock. We sincerely trust that he will come back to Georgia when he completes his work at the seminary. MEETING P. T. A.’S The regular monthly meeting ct P. T.

Ford worked the tractor all day while Gleason fed bundles into the ma chine. During she day 780 bc-hels of oats were threshed, and when evening came Ford asserted that he would be back Saturday to finish the work. Several years ago Ford decided he would like to see t he old machine and began a search for it. The only identification he had was the num ber “345”, which he recalled. After f. long search, the machine was found, in disuse, on a farm in Penn sylvania. The farmer wanted $lO for the machine and Ford purchased it, presenting him with an automo bile in addition. He had it sent hack to his factory, repaired, and put in working order. A few days ap Ford sent the thresher to the Gleav on farm and Friday he appeared to run the machine which he says in one of his books, was the one that gave him his first idea of building an automohile.
