VOLUME S 3.
HOLD FIFTH
GOOD ROADS
ESSAYCONTEST
Washington, D. C.—Four years at
college with alle xpenses paid is the
inducement held out to high school
students of the United States for the
best essay on the subject “The
Relation of Improved mHighways to
Home Life,” according to a state
menttoday by the Highway Educa
tion Board.
Announcement of this proposal is
being made to all state, city and
county school officials as promptly
as possible. The offer is in the form
of a contest, in which all students of
high school grades are eligible to
compete. The four year at college
consitute a scholarship given annual
ly by H. S. Firestone, Akron, Ohio,
for the best essay on a subject
pertaining to elementary highway
economics. The contest is the fifth
conducted in as many successive
years under the auspices of the high
way organization.
In the conduct of the contest the
board will have the active assistance 1
of extension divisions of the leading
universities in each state, or of the
state departments of education, as
wel as the amost unanimous endorse
ment and support of city and county
school authorities.
The rules o£ the contest are
simple. Any student of high school
grade is eligible to enter. Essays
to be written must not exceed seven
hundred \tfords in length, and the
closing date on which essays must be
presented to school principals is
April 21, 1924. Aside from the
usual statements that essays must be
written on one side of the paper
only, must be the original work of
the writers, and that the decisiory of
the judges is final, there are no other
conditions. A statement reviewing
the past history of the contests^eaid:
“For the fifth consecutive year
high school students of the nation
are being offered the opportunity to
win what is perhaps the largest
single educational award offered in
the United States. The awards is
known as the H. S. Firestone Four
Year’s University Scholarship, which
will be given to the high school stud
ent writing the best essay on ‘The
Relation of Improved Highways to
Iftime Life. Essays must not exceed
seven hundred words in length and
must be written in accordance with
the simple rules of the contest.
“Altogether is is estimated that
more than eight hundred thousand
puples have submitted essays in the
four previous contests, probably the
most sustained educational competi
tion, according to the records of the
board, in che United States.
“Four students are now in college
as the result of their participation*
The first successful pupil was Miss
Katharine F. Butterfield, Weiser,
Idaho. She will be graduated this
year from Northwestern University,
Evanston, Illinois. The second to
win this national honor was Miss
Garland Johnson, Bridgeport, West
Virginia, now attending the Universi
ty of West Virginia at Morgantown.
A young man was the winner of the
third contest, Karl G. Pearson, of
Kansas, and the District of Columbia,
being the successful contestant. His
essay was written on the subject
‘How Good Roads Developing
My Community. He is a student at
George Washington University,
Washington,'D. C.
“The last winner was Miss
Dorothy Louise Roberts, Harlan,
Kentucky, located in the heart of the
Kentucky mountains. Miss Roberts,
the daughter of a Methodist preac
her, wrote the best essay of approxi
mately one hundere and fifty thou
sand subittted in the 1923 competi
tion on the subject ‘The Infuence of
Highway Transport upon the Religi
ous Life of My Community.” She
is attending school at Marietta Col
lege, Marietta, Ohio, where her
father has been transferred as pastor
of a church.
“Thus sixteen thousand dollars al
ready have been appropiated by the
donor for the education of young
people who have been successful in
these competitions. The scholarship
this year is precisley as offered in
the past, which is intended to de
fray all expenses successful student
at any college or university in the
United States he elects to ttend.
“The character of the judges who
review the essays is the highest type
possible to obtain. Last year, for
instance, the national judges were
the Secretary of War, John W.
Weeks; Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of
the Review of Reviews, New York
City; and Bishop William F. Ander
son, Methodist Episcopal Church,
Cincinnati, Ohri. The board offers
assurances that judges of the same

NON-TAXABLE
! BONDS AGAIN
BROWN'S SUBJECT
I am going to discuss further the
menace of non-taxable bonds which
refers to municipal or city bonds.
Did you know that all the bonds
on municipalities and cities are non
taxable? Well, they are. Do you
know that there are outstanding in
the United States billions of these
bonds bought up by the rich and
who do not pay one dollar tax on
them to help defray the expenses of
our government Is this good law ?
Is this just law? No.
Where is this leading us? It is
causing the small municipalities and
cities of all sizes to issue these bonds
and mortgage all property in the
municipality or city to the very limit
as fixed by law. It is causing ex
travagance by these municipalities
and cities, creating all kinds of debt
that will take two or three genera-
tions to pay.
When you go to a city and see
beautiful, large school buildings,
made of the very best material, walk
; on pavement, streets and sidewalks
paved for miles, find the very best
waterworks system that money can
buy, and all public building's costing
thousands upon thousands of dollars,
and then come back home to the
farm, go over a road has not
been worked in a year with gullies
in it, and sometimes have to stay at
home for weeks during extremely
bad weather, not being able to get
off the place, visit your school
houses in the country, see holes in
the floor that you can throw a dog
through, the wind blowing through
the cracks, giving the school chil
dren enough cold to kill half of
them, no decent desks, no comfort
able seats, and a poor country teach
er paid just enough money to keep
life in him, do you think there is
something wrong with our govern
ment somewhere ? Is not your child
entitled to the same advantages the
children get in towns or cities? This
is the troifble with our country to
day.
Wealth is seeking investment to
avoid taxes. Cities and towns are
issuing bonds by the billions which
are non-taxable and when it comes
down to its last analysis the poor
people in the country are paying the
bills.
All manufacturing enterprises are
in the cities, labor is high, house
rent is high and government ex
penses great, and when the goods
are manufactured they are sold to
the people as a whole who have to
pay all these bills.
For example: A railroad engineer
gets anywhere from $250.00 to
$350.00 per month. He lives in a
city. His house rent is about $75.00
per month, his water and lights
come high, street car fare amounts
to a great deal in a mom til’s timej
lights, fuel and groceries are high on
account of high rents, and who pays
these bills? The people have to pay
it in high freight rates and passen
ger fare. I have been told that a
farmer shipped a load of water
melons from south Georgia to New
York and when he got his returns
from the sale of his <car of melons,
he had to go down in his pocket and
pay out money for freight. The
whole car load did not bring enough
to pay the freight, much less pay
him for his time and expense in pro
duction.
The shme thing applies to tools
and machinery made for the farm.
Mechanics in cities get anywhere
from SIOO.OO to $250.00 per month.
Who pays him ? The farmers.
Where a plow ought to be worth 25
cents, it costs SI.OO, and so on for
most everything else.
If we will put a stop to cities and
municipalities issuing non-taxable
bonds, money will not be So avail
able for them and they will stop so
much extravagance. The rich will
have to invest his money in securi
ties are taxable and be forced
to help pay his part of the govern
mental expenses.
Mr. Green, chairman of the Ways
and Means committee, has just made
the statement in congress that the
rich are defying the government.
They are not paying their part of the
taxes and are not going to until
made. Let’s make them.

“Farm Program
Many Planters at Get-to
gether Meeting Held At
Kiwanis Club Last Friday
Night.
PROGRAM ADOPTED
AFTER DISCUSSION
Every Section of County
Represented and Heard
From.
Accepting the invitation extended
by the Lawrenceville Kiwanis Club
thirty-five farmers and agricultural
leaders, living in various parts of
Gwinnett county, attended the meet
ing at the local cub room ond Fri
day night, February ‘29th, annd after
discussion adopted the farm program
as set forth by the Gwinnett county
agricultural advisory board in con
nection with the State College of
Agriculture and the United States
department of agriculture.
The meeting was lively and spirit
ed, being in charge of J. H. McGee
and County Agent Robinson and
talks and experiences of several well
known leaders of the county, who
have made good in their attempts to
farm under any and all conditions,
were herd, 4
After thd welcome extended by
President Sammon Messrs. McGee
and Robinson took charge and the
action started.
Don Wilson, Duluth banker and
farmer, told of his experiences of
cotton raising and gave figures
(printed in our issue of February
21st,) on eight two-acre plots on
which seven methods of boll weevil
control. This cotton was worked by
a negro tenant with three small boys
who strictly following directions laid
down by Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson
said the test showed that the govern
ment plot gave the highest yield of
lint but that the check plot, on which
no poison was used, was only 122
pounds behind. It must be re
membered however that thi plot had
the advantage of being protected by
fourteen acres of cotton upon which
seven methods of control was u»ed.
Mr. Wilson called upon his hearers
to give more attention to scientific
farming and ask them to remember
that the good farer was the balanced
farmer.
Frank Booth, Lithonia, Route One,
of Rockbridge ditrict, - told his ex
perience in raising cotton personally
and by tenants, Mr. Booth using five
sacks of 12-4-4 fertilizer last year on
four acres, of which one-half acre
was in orchid, and by liberal ap
plication of arsenate, at a total cost
of $97.00 made 1050 pounds of lint.
He showed a celar profit of over
$300.00 on the four acres and stated
that one of his tenants had a still
better average. Mr. Booth is a great
believer in pojson and ‘aid lhat one
tenant “broke his back pitklrg up
s.iuares rod then ha 1 his crop eat
up.” He also spoke of securing the
better class of tenants and making
better one by the landlord being
more liberal and especially in hous
ing conditions. This prominent plant
er said that in this seciton it was his
opinion that more mo6ny could be
made per acre on cotton than any
other crop if scientific framing was
carried out.
C, C.Wall, of Lawrenceville rout
One, ten acres of whoes farm was
used as a model by the American
Cotton Association lat year, stated
that his crop showed a clear profit
of $90.70 per acre. Mr. Wall said
“prepare well, fertilize well, cultivatt
well and use poison.” His yield on
seventeen acres, of which ten was as
a model and seven using the same
method, he made ten bales. His
neighbors did not use poison and
they made no cotton; he stated that
when a fanner did not poison he
was simply losing his own crop and
raising weevils for his neighbor, and
also expressed - the opinion that if
every farmer would use modern
methods of control the weevil could
be conquored within two years.
Rollie Hill, of Dacula, was called
upon and said that modern farming
would whip the weevil.
County Agent A. G. Robinson
stated that with the delivery Sat
urday over 90,000 pounds of poison
had reached the farms of Gwinnett
county for use on this years crop.
W. H. Cooper spoke of diversifield
crops in North Carolina and express
ed the hope that Georgia would soon
adopt diversification. Mr. Cooper,
who owns c farm near Buford, is
United Press representative with
headquarters in Atlanta and North
Carolina.
Peanuts being the next crop for
discussion J. P. Hayes, prominent
farmer of Pucketts, said that his
crop the past year brought him hay
he needed and which paid for the
crop and left a profit of five and
one-half cents for the peanuts. He
planted six acres and used 100
pounds of fertilizer to the acre.
Sam Craig, Jr., of route four,
spoke of the ready market for sour
cream and stated that the year round
gross per cow should be SI.OO per
’day. With proper pasture and by
raising feed he said the profit would
run from thirty to eighty Cents per
cow each day.
Harrison 'Summerour, of Duluth,
talked of his experience with alpha
fa. Mr. Summerour said that where
the land was adapted to its raising
it .was a good paying money crop.
Beans and hay next had the floor
and many were the farmers joining
in its discussion. Paul Sims, of Su
wanee, talked of velvet beans.
Others speaking were Henry Craig,
Of route four, Sidney C. Williams,
of route three; and J. E. Kilgore, of
Auburn, J. J. Phillips, of near Nor
cross, who has made an outstanding
success in raising beans and hay
gave his experiences from the selec
tion Of the seed to the marketing
and his address was eillighthing and
instructive. Tom L. Harris, well
known as a farmer and at present
county commissioner, tated that the
county had bought heavily of Gwin
nett county grown hay and it was
even better than any hay they had
found elsewhere.
J. H. McGee discussed dairying
and told of one of his cows which
produced 850 pounds of butter per
year; the aßverage cow produces 160
pounds. F. Q. Sammon spoke of the
throughbred cow. Both these gentle
men were urgent in seeing higher
producing, pure bred cows on every
farm.
Fritz Brogdon; pf Buford, told of
his success witft pure bred chickens
and said that with more home grown
feed even better money could be
made.
Sheep was the next discussion and
Henry Craig and Sidney Williams
urged every farmer to get' sheep.
Their low upkeep cost were a high
argument in their favor.
Speaking of sweet potatoes, C. R.
Ware, who owns one of the eight
large curinghouses in the ci uny,
said they were a successful money
crop. He also called attention to
the fact that over 300 bushels were
made on one acre at the pauper
farm lat year.
Thus the meeting went on and on
a frank from the heart confession
of the success and failure of dif
ferent methods employed by seme of
our best farmers and no one in at
tendance, even if no farmer himself,
could have failed to have been bene
fitted by the dicusion.
Much prasies is due County Agent
Robinon for his faithful work among
our farmers from the boys and girls
to the oldest planter. This gentle
man is always working and ever
ready to serve.
At the conculsion of the addresses,
on motion of Prof. L. P. Green, of
Snellville, a rasing vote of apprecia
tion and thanks was given the mem
bers of the Kiawms club by the
visitors present.
The meeting, which was opened
by an invocation by Rev. Franklin,
and closed with a word of prayer by
Rev. Smith, was featured through
out by the lively songs of Kiwanis.
“Old McDonough Had A Farm” be
ing a decided hit.
The song by Miss Kate Rogers
wa enjoyed and well received while
the luncheon, served by the ladies of
the Methodist Missionery Society,
could not have beeen beat.
Col. I. L. Oakes in the dawin won
the prize donated by Kiwanian Jessie
A. Richardson;.it was a beautiful
mahogany baby ehir.
The Kiwanis spirit is rapidjy pread
ing and its good is already outstand
ing. The meeting on Friday night
was said b* many to be as good as
the best ever held by the club. It
is hoped that its benefit will he felt.
The club is also enjoying a splendid
growth, several new members have
been taken in during the past few
weeks; Wesley Clower was a new
member admitted Friday night.
At the next meeting the program
“Law and Order,” with Lawyers I.
L. Oakes, N. L. Hutchins and J. 1.
Solicitor P. Cooley have beenthsa
Kelley in charge, will be carried out.
Judge Lewis Russell and Solicitor P.
Cooley have been invited tq speak.
It was stated by President Sammon
that “Law and Order” should in
clude the local situation of boot
I legers and bad whisky so it is ex
pected that the meeting will attract
unusual attention.

Life Term For Killing
Chattanooga, Tenn.—Dock Beard,
deputy sheriff of Walker county,
GeoYgia, was sentenced to life im

The jury, after holding the case for
24 hours, found a verdict of murder
in the first degree with recommenda

The killing occurred on the streets
of Rossville January 5, and was said
to have grown out of political differ
ences. According to the evidence,
Beard had approached Nolan and
was abusing him when the latter
moved away, Beard followed and
shooting him. The case created a
great deal of interest in north
Georgia and the courthouse was
crowed for the trial.
Stone Mountain Holds
5 Billions In Granite
Atlanta, Ga.—ls the whole of
Stone Mountain were cut up and
sold at the prevailing price of gran
ite, the proceeds would amount to
more than five billion dollars, ac
cording to S. V. Mc-Callie state
geologist.
Mr. McCallie pointed out that the
amount of granite in the exposed
mass of the mountain, before cutting
was begun, was estimated at 7 534-
750,950 cubic feet. The present
price of granite of good quality is
around 70 cents a cubic foot in the
rough state, according to dealer’s
figures. Thus it was shown that
the total value of granite of Stone
Mountain is approximately $5,280,-
625,66’.
The rock in Stone Mountain is
described as even-textured, medium
granied, botite-bearing muscovite
granite. From chemical an' 1 physi
cal tests, it is excellently adanted to
all kinds of structural and street
work, it was stated. ’

TWICE-A-WEEK
SAYS BALLOON
CORDS NOW
PRACTICAL
\Y hat is a practical program for
making the advantages of Ballon
Cords at once available to the great
bulk of car owners, is seen in the
announcement of the B. F. Goodrich
Rubber Company that t is manu
facturing two types of ballon tires.
One type, the full extent of bal
looning, is designed for use on cara
that have been adapted to the type
either at the factory or by reducing
the wheels to 20 or 21 inches.
The other is for use on cars aa
fhey stand to supplant standard cord
tires. There is no need to change
the wheels, or make any other re
adjustments of a car.
This will, undoubtedly be interest
ing news to the ten million car own
ers who are now asking themselves
collectively pnd individually, “Where
does the balloon cord tire figure in
my car? It s a specal equipment for
a few, or can I use it, and what does
it offer over standard cords.?”
Amweri Vitial Question*
The two types of Goodrich Balloon
Cord Tires are a practical answere
to these questions.
In other words, the practicability
of the balloon ir? is now chiefly a
matter of adaptation to- thp auto
mobile, or probably more proper, the
adaptation of the tire to the motor
car.
The one great drawback that con
cerns most car owners is that, in
many cases where full balloon cords
are used, a complete change of equip
ment to 20 or 21 inch wheels is
necessary, and sometimes the
mechanism of the car must be shang
ed.
The expense doing this is prohibi
tive to many. It is only fair to say
that the result does not always ob
tain the full benefit of balloon cords.
Car owners have now every right
and reason to look upon the balloon
cord as a basic fact i the automobile
world. It fairly teems with pos
sibilities for tlte lay-motorist as weli
as the automotive engineer.
The easy-riding sjnbothnes.-* and'
efficiency, the comfort, safety and
ultimate economy it promises bid
fair to bring about great changes in
motor cars. They add materially to
the pleasure of motoring.
It may be too early to accept
such over-enthusiastic terms as
“revolutionary,” and “the greatest
improvement in the history of the
automobile, but ith as been, and
continues to be the most novel, the
most interestingoeting features in;
automobiles shows.
Balloon Tires are not as yet'
numerous enough to be a common
sight, so that there is every reason
to tell just what a balloon cord is.
Reduced to the simplest terms, it
is an oversize cord tire with fewer
plies in it than in standard cords. It
is a larger tire in diameter, and a
more flexible tire.
Matter of Air Preanere
But the important difference be
tween balloon and standard cords is
the difference in inflation. The
balloon cord is ridden at much lower
air pressure. In fact, its best de
scriptive name is a low-air pressure
tire.
Where the air pressure of stand
ard cords is maintained at from 60
to 65 pounds, and sometimes higher,
balloon cords are inflated anywhere
between 18 to 30 pounds, sometimes
40.
The advantages of balloon cords
are postive. They add a new com
fort and pleasure to motoring.
It is plain to see why this is so. The
car rides literally on more air. There
is a greater cushion of air between
the car and the bumpy road. The
supor-flexibility of the tire yields to
a rough roadway and obstacles.
The many advantages of this are
at once apparent to the experienced
drievr.
As the use ofthe extreme develop
ment ofthe balloon tire in many in
stances entails great expense, it is
obvious that the comfort and effi
ciency of ballooned tires would be
denied many motorists were it not
for the additional type now avail
able.
As they can be applied directly,
witlpout change to a car to supplant
ardinary cords, any owner may use
them.
They are quick, practical way for
the owner of a car to get the sensible
luxury of balloon tires, without pay
ing too great a premium for it *
The application of balloon tires
is largely a problem of clearances
and this is what determines whether
or not a car can have full balloon
tires.
