BAPTISTS PLANNING FOR WORLD RELIEF More than 20,000 Baptist Sunday schools and churches of the south are expected to take special offerings for the relief of distressed peoples in all sections of the world on Sunday, January 13, when the appeal will be presented through the joint efforts of the foreign mission board and the Sunday school board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Inasmuch as Southern Baptists have, in their foreign missionaries, personal representatives in every section of the world where there is acute suffering, who can distribute relief funds without any extra over head expense, and where they see assistance is most needed, churches, Sunday schools and individual mem bers of the churches are asked by the convention to make their relief offer ings for all peoples, including the orphans of the Near East, through the foreign mission board at this time. In this way it is believed the money contributed will go further in meeting actual need. The needier sections of Europe and Asia, as well as the Near East, will be included in the ministrations of southern Bap tists, as a result of this special of fering.

Vernon, is not reached from anywhere by a national road. There must inevitably come a tim" when this nation will rise in revolt against a penurious policy whien leaves to a patriotic order of •devot ed women the care and preservation of the priceless relics of Washington, which ure in his estate, and make of Mt. Vernon what it ought to be, a government charge and care. The Masonic fraternity has already pro vided for a monumental resting place for the Masonic relics of Geo. Washington. But will we always leave to Virginia the making, the re pairing, and the preservation of the roads which connect these three home, temple, and city? Virginia has not, so far, been able to list herself among those states prominently identified with the good roads movement, although she has made vast strides in recent years. The road from Washington to the temple, and from Alexandria to Mt. Vernon is a good road, but it should be the work of the United States government to see that so im portant a road is perfect. In this is seen another among many argu ments, as to why this great nation should itself build and forever main tain the backbone roads which, a 3 national highways, will serve all the people ull the time. New and Sec on A Hand Ford* H. t. Stiff Irlvtor Cc. CMb or ere Jit twice-a-week BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS Atlanta, Ga., January B.—Business and financial experts in Atlanta agree that the year 1924, studying the situation in the first week of January, should be one of the be3t years this country has ever known; that it finds the nation’s business up on a firm foundation with every ele ment at hand for business expansion of the widest possible character and that in practically every line of in dustry and business the conditions are favorable for an era of prosper ity that should reach to every por tion of the country and benefit the whole people. “The year 1923 was a good year in many ways,” said Frank Henpstend, well known business counsellor, to day. “It witnessed the stabilizing of business, industry and finance in this country, and it was marked by great er progress in construction, in manu facturing and in business generally than has been accomplished in any previous year of the after-wac pe riod. During he year unemployment was practicaly eliminated and in dustry made progress such as had not been made for a number of vear3.” Mr. Hempstead points to the fact that the new year finds American business and industry in excellent shape for substantial development “In every way the country is ready for a year of progres and dsvdop ment,” said Mr. Hempstead. ‘ There is every reason for confidence and optimism among the people and it is gratifying to note that optimism is very pronounced and that pessimism appears to be practically an unknown quantity. There have been years when the opposite was the case.” The old-time superstition that presidential years are bad years for business is not causing worry this year, in the opinion of Atlanta busi ness men and manufacturers. They show that business is in such fine shape and is upon so firm a founda tion that politics can not harm it. Railroads Valued at Billions. Figures made public here today by railway executives show that the value of the railroads of the country are $22,350,000,000. It is stated by railroad officials that the tentative minimum valuation of the railroads at the end of 1919 was found by the interstate com merce commission to be $18,900,000,- 000. This valuation was based on costs and prices up to 1914, and therefore includes no war-time infla tion of values. The subsequent investment of ap proximately $1,984,083,000, 1923 es timated, brings the interstate com merce commission valuation for rate making purposes as of the end of this year up to $20,884,083,000, “Every business man can judge for himself the fairness of the conten tion made by Senators LaFollette, Brookhart, and others that the inter state commerce commission valua tion should be reduced by from seven billion dollars to ten billion dollars,” said an Atlanta executive. “Such a confiscation of values would in effect be a denial to the railroads of their chief means of keeping pace with the development of the coun try.” The Atlanta executive asserte ’ that a fair recognition of railroa property values is essential for adr quate earning power and credit so further expansion.
