EXPECT ARREST
IN GIRLS CASt
Atlanta, Ga.—Hinting that ar
rests in connection with her disap
pearance wepe imminent And almost
certain, city dectectives Saturday
afternoon pushed the investigation
into the strange case of Miss Louise
Atkinson, 16, of 239 West Third
Street, who returned home Satur
day morning as quietly as she left
it after being the object of a state
wide search for more than a week.
Detectives Campbell and Simmons
hurried to the girl’s home as soon 1
as her return was confirmed and
questioned her regarding her disap
pearance. She told them that she had
gone to Lakemont, Ga., as a govern
ess and had not been allowed to
communicate with her relatives until
Saturday morning.
While her clothes were a litde the
worse for wear and her hat, that a
week ago was so chic, seemed crum
pled and old, the girl herself showed
no signs of stress or strain from her
alleged enforced absence.
“I went to Lakemont as a gover
ness for two small children,” the girl
told her sister, Mrs. J. W. Knott,
with whom she makes her homo, and
later repeated the story to the de
tectives. The people I went with,
whose names I stiil don’t know,
wouldn't let me write home. Satur
day morning I insisted that they
bring me home, however, and they
agreed to <k> that.”
hen asked if she intended to re
turn to Lakemont to continue :r> the
position she shook her head dubious
ly ad declared she did not know.
“You certainly asre not,” her sis
ter interposed.
Miss Atkinson is the daughter of
D. C. Atkinson, former Chief of Po
lice in Buford Ga.

_
Seed Irish potatoes from almost
any section of the country well
apapted to the crop may be planted
in Georgia with good hesults so long
as a disease free, prolific strain of
good variety has been sleeted.
The Georgia Experiment Station
has, for a number of years grown
Irish potatoes, the seeds tubers of
which came from several different
sections of this country as well as
from Canada. The data, as a whole,
indicates very clearly that the kind
and amountof disease infliction car
ried in the seed tubers has a greater
influence on the yield than does the
section of the country in which the
seed potatoes were grown.
A few examples are here given for
one year which was very unfavor
able for Irish potatoes.
Maryland, Irish cobbler, certified
seed, 78 bushles per acre.
Virginia, Irish Cobbler, second
crop seed, 43.
Maine, Irish Cobbler, 62.
.Maine, Bliqs, 47.
Arkansas, Bliss, certified seed, 47
Virginia, Bliss, second crop seed,
27.
The following year was more fav
arable to Irish potatoes, as indicated
by the following yields from dif
ferent sections:
Wisconsin, Bliss, certified seed,
120 bushels per acre.
Canada, Bliss, 103 bushels acre.
Georgia, Irish Cobbler, 116 bush
els per acre.
Virginia, "Irish Cobbler, 115 bu
shels per acre.
Canada, Irish Cobbler 116 bushels
per acre.
Georgia, Green Mountain. 124
bushels pre acre.
The mosaic diease is one of the
troublesome diseases of the Irish po
tato. This disease is carried in the
seed tubers and can be controlled
only by selecting disease free
plants in the field. The Red Bliss or
Triumph, so commonly grown for
the early crop is especially suscep
tible to the mosaic disease. An in
spection of the tubers does not dis
close the presence of the disease,
and growers have to depend upon
the reliability of the seed growers
and the dealers. In some states the
growers, who make a specialty of
growing disease free seed potatoes,
have their fields inspected by cap
able state officials who issue cer
tificates to growers of disease free
seed stock. Such seed potatoes are
thus sold as certified stock which
usually command a premium o v er
ordinary or commercial seed pota
ttoes. Certified seed potatoes do not
always give larger yields than com
mon seed stock, just as a registered
dairy cow may not give more milk
than a common grade cow. How
ever, the certified seed potatoes will
generally produce the best results.

TWIN BOYS ARE BORN
AMID THE BUSTLE
OF FIVE POINTS
Atlanta, Ga. —That grugling >
whirlpool of humanity, Five Points, |
served as the stage at noon Friday
for something new under the sun
when a pair of lusty twins were
bom in an ambulance which was halt
ed in this bustling center of traffic
long enough for a physician to super
inted the unique event. The twins
were boys and were bora to
Estelle Bryant, a negro woman, who
was being taken from he home at
223 Rhodes Street to Grady Hospital
wehen the “accident” happened.
The Grady ambulance in charge
of Drive H. H. King was speeding
through the streets to the hospital
when Dr. Herbert White ambulance
physician, noted the condition of his
patient and instructed the driver to
halt forthwith. The ambulance paus
ed in the heart of Atlanta’s traffic
center and the twins were born. Two
lustl yells signifiedtheir first greet
ing to this old world of toil and
trouble and as soon as their lungs
were in working order the ambuance
continued to the hospital, whehe all
concerned are reported as doing
well.
In view of the tense conditions
under which they were born, it has
been suggested that the twins be
named “Nip and Tuck,” or “Stop
and Go.” Since Atlanta is always
in the lead in unique events, the
junior Chamber of Commerce pro
bably will be urged to hold fitting
ceremonies commemorating the
event.

BOY, TAKING BIBLE
LITERALLY, CHOPS
OFF HIS HAND
Locust Grove, Ga.—Having fol
lowed literal! thescriptural injuction
that “if thyright hand offended thee,
cut it off,” Herbert Little, 19 year
old youth, Friday was recovering
from his wound and the loss of
blood at his home about three miles
from here. He hacked at his arm
nine times, he said, and when he
came running to his parents late
Wednesday night, his hand was hang'
ing only by a thread of skin, and
there was nothing for the doctors to
do but finish the amputation.
Althoughthe agony he was suffer
ing was plainly written on his face
as he revealed what he had done
and he lost consciousness from loss
of blood while the doctors were
Working on his arm, at no time did
he express any regret for what he
had done, nor would he tell in what
respect his hand had offended. He
intimated that he might tell when
he gets well.
His parents, Mr and Mrs. H. H.
Little, had not thought of the boy’s
mind being affected before he cut off
his hand, but it is now recalled that
he had been acting in a peculiar
recent rough weather he would not
go anywhere without carrying his
Bible along, and it is said that he
sought to be alone, preferring soli
tude along tile lonely roads to com
painoship with his friends.
The youth is in the eight grade at
school. One of his uncles is ?heriff
of the county, and his family is well
known and highly esteemed in his
community.
STUMP ON FARM
IS FUNERAL PYRE
FOR AGED VETERAN
Scnoia, Ga.—A charred stump
with flames stilllicking their dying
tongues toward the body of W. M.
Odum, 85, Civil war veteran, served
as a funeral pyre to the aged man
here Friday. The body was found
in a solitary spot in a field on his
farm, where he had been burning
grass in preparationfor spring plant
ing.
Members of the family stated
he was exceedingly feeble, and ad
vanced the theory that he fell across
the stump and became unconuscious
or that he was too feeble to rise as
thefire closed about his body.
He served in the Confederate
army and was cited for bravery.
Funeral services was held Saturday.
He is survived by his widow and
several children.

“HOUSE FLIES.”
Flies should not be allowed to get
on food that is to be eaten. They
carry germs on their bodies and leave
them wherever they light. They have
possibly been on some unclean matter,
and have very dangerous germs on
their bodies.
We should begin early in the spring
to destroy the breeding places of
flies, so that there will not be any
unclean matter for them to live on,
for flies live and breed in filth.
Flies should not be allowed to get
on the wastes from a sick person.
They should be burned or disposed of
in some way, for the flies will get
germs on their legs and bodies and
carry them to some \?eil person.
Flies should be kept away from
children, especially babies, for they
will leave germs on the child’s hands
and face. Not only will they leave
dangerous disease germs, bat they are
an annoyance to the child.
In a day or two the eggs of the
flies hatch into small white maggots
and then in about a week they become
adult flies.
Flies are a great menace to the
health during spring and summer.
These little pests cause millions of
deaths every year. Just how danger
ous they are is not known to th 6
great majority of people who have
not had the opportunity to learn about
them.
HATTIE BRAND.
The above is a copy of a brief but
instructive composition written by
Hattie Brand, a shool girl of four
teen, in the seventh grade, Braden
school. This paper was not prepared
in advance of the class. It was writ
ten in a test and, of course, without
book or notes or references.
I submit this to be published be
lieving that it will be an encourage
ment to other children as well as to
the writer, and that it will be in
structive to the public in general.
The house fly is one of the most
cpmmon yet the least understood of
all our pests.' ' Many people do not
realize that it is one of the chief
causes of the ifpread of typhoid, con
sumption, dysentery and many other
common diseases.

GENEROUS COWS
MUST GRAZE ON
GOOD PASTURES
Atlanta, Ga., Mar«h 27.—-The grow
ing interest in dairying in Georgia
which, livestock meti here say, is al
ready resulting in an improvement of
dairy stock and in the adding of dairy
equipment on many farms, has em
phasized the necessity for suitable
and ample pOsturagff for the dairy
stock. Good pastures are a necessity
if the cows are to be given the chance
they should have to produce rich
milk abundantly, according to offi
cials of the Georgia department of
agriculture.
The need for good pastures is
urged by state agricultural depart
ment officials in commenting on the
incre&sed interest in dairying.
Pasturage is a feature of dairying
that should not be overlooked in the
opinion of everts of the state de
partment of agriculture. Cattle that
are denied good grating ground are
forced to nibble on such grasp as they
can find, agricultural department offi
cials say, cannot be expected to pay
their way as well as cows that are
grazed in fields where the grass is
suitable and plentiful, where there is
a good place for them to stand under.
It is as necessary that dairy cows
should have good pasturage as it is
that they should have suitable shelter
from severe weather in the winter
time, department officials stated.
The tickets will be restricted to five
or more persons, with a final limit of
twenty-one days, including the date
of sale.
The granting of home seekers rates
to the southeast, in which other rail
road lines are expected to participate,
is expected to bring many settlers to
the southeastern states during the
coming summer and fall.
Farmer’s Business Outlook Is Bettep
Declaring that the holiness outlook
for the farmer was never so good as
it is today, Hon. J. J. J3rown, Geor
gia’s commissioner of agriculture, to
day pointed out some of the factors
that lead to this opinion. Principal
among these is the fact that hun
dreds of thousands of people are now
employed -in ■ the Various • industrial
plants of the country, and that the
last decade has witnessed an enor
mous increase* in the number of
workers. None of them are produc
ing things to eat, the commissioner
says, and since they must be fed the
folk who p- .iduce the food should en
joy a good business.
Demand, Mr Brown shows, is cer
tainly the basis for profitable busi
ness of any kind, and there is no
doubt, he points out, the number of
people who are merely consumers
and not producers in so far as food is
concerned, is increasing at a rapid
rate In all reason, therefore, Com
nflksioner Brown, as well as other
agricultural experts, say it looks as
if the farmer’s business should con
tinue. to grow more and more profit
able.
But, on the other hand, the com
missioner says, one continually hears
the complaint that the farmer is not
getting the prices he should, and that
he is having a hard time to make
ends meet, and at best enjoying mere
ly a competence and that he is far
from reaching the pot of gold that
lies at the end of the rainbow. And
there is much foundation for these
statements, Commissioner Brown
says. In this connection he points to
the value of marketing associations
and as they are perfected the farmer
will soon be able to get good prices
for his products.

LOSING CANDIDATES
MUST LIST EXPENSE.
McLENDON REVEALS
Atlanta, Ga.—Every candidate
for county office in the eighty one
counties that held primaries on
March 19 is required by law to file
an itemized statement of his expend!
tures within 20 days after the elect
ion date, according to S. G. McLen
don, secretary of state. The twenty
day period will expire on April 8.
In the belief that failure tv se
cure a certificate of election iH the
only penalty for Violation of the
law, defeated candidates have been
under the impression that it is not
necessary for them to make reports
of their expenditures, but this is not
the case, Secretary McLendon sta
ted. He pointed out the following
paragraph, 671, in the criminal code
of the state:
“Whoever shall violate any of the
provisions of section 92 of the civil
code, on the subject of publishing
a report of campaign expenses, shall
be deemed guilty of a misde
meanor.”
Section 92 of theci vil code pro
vides that all candidates for county
offices, including county and city
judeship shall, within 20 days aft
e the election in which they “are
candidates, file with the clerk of the
superior court of the county in
which they made their races, com
plet roportsof their campaign ex
penditures.
Candidates for judgeships and sd
lieitorship in superior courts are
required to file the reports with
the clerks of all counties in their
districts and also to publish the re
ports in some newspaper of general
circulation in the district Publi
cation is not required of candidates
forcounty offices.
Section 850 of the criminal code
requires superior court judges to
make special charges regarding the
publication of campaign expendi
tures at the first session of the court
following an election, Secretary Mc-
Lendon stated.
‘CAMPAGNE’ AGENT
SOUGHT IN ATHENS
ON SWINDLE CHARGE
Athens, Ga.—TwoAthenians at
least (there may be others) are anx
ous to find a “Mr. Hass,” who has
S4OO belonging—or which did be
long, to them.
Mr. Haas, is wanted by the city
and county law officials, having
swindling by the two well known
Athenians. Mr. Hass sold them
S4OO worth of the rarest cham
pagne. In fact it was so rare that
the well known Athenians who
bought it “slight unseen”are rearin’
now because it won’t come.
The man suffers the heaviest loss
as a result of the visit of Mr. Haas
originally bought only SSO worth
of champagne. Where he fell was
in indorsing the check for $350 as
accommodation to Mr. Haas. The
check was turned down.
Mr. Haas sold one Athenian, a
well known member of the ycunger
business set, $350 worth of cam
pagne. After Mr. Haas left the
Athenian decided he had been stung
and ordered his bank to refuse to
honor the check. In the meantime
Mr. Haas sold SSO worth to another
young citizen and through his in
dorsement, cashed the $350 check.

j HOW ABOUT FEED
CROPS FOR 1924?
For more than a quarter of a
century the writer has been able at
the beginning of each year to can
didly state, ‘“ftiis is one year when
the farmer cannot afford to fail to
grow all the feeds required to feed
well all the livestock on the farm.”
And we have said and written this
plain truth, year after year, with a
strengthened convicition of its sound
ness as a basic principle in Southern
farming.
Feed is always scarce and high
when the time comes around for
making the next crop. There is no
question about the soundness of the
statement that it is best, because
safest and most economical, for the
Southern farmer to produce the
feeds for his livestock, nor is there
any ! question about the statement
having been made often' enough for
all to have heard it. But it is
equally certain that many Southern
farmers have not fully accepted this
statement as facts. They have taken
it in many cases as advice which
they felt bound to reject.
We are quite well aware of all
these things that probably a repeti
tion of the facts this season will have
as little effect as during past years;
but again we come forward with the
“original” statement that “This is
one year when no farmer can afford
to fail to produce his own feeds,,
especially the feeds for his work
stock.” Why is it “especially im
portant that we grow our feeds in
1924”?
First because a large part of the
South is short of feeds for making
the crops in 1924, which means that
these crops will be made aj a higher
cost.
Second, because ofthe present
good price of cotton there will be
an inclination to increase the cotton
acreage, which will itself tend to
reduce the acreage to feed crops.
Third, a larger acreage to cotton
and a smaller acreage to feed crops,
or rather a larger crop ofcotton and
a small crop of feeds, will tend to
lower the price of cotton and m
: crease the price of feeds,
Fourth, it is more economical to
grow the-feeds needed than to buy
them, taking one year with another.
The only case when this isnot true
is when the farmer is a poor farmer,
or an inefficient producer of feeds.
But there are sometimes efficient
cotton prodcurs who will challenge
the accuracy of this fourth reason
for feed production.
They may be divided into two
classes. The first, a very large class
are very poor farmers so far as pro
ducing feed is concerned. The other
ciass, a very small one, are very ef
ficient cotton producers. This class
is very much smalller than those who
think they belong to it generally be
lieve. Most of those thiink they are
such good cotton farmers that they
can afford to buy feeds for work
stockk with cottonm oney are great
ly mistaken. If feeds were genearl
ly cheap when cotton is high priced,
theory would work out more frequ
ently; but where feeds are not pro
duced they are always high priced,
and in the South when cotton is low
priced, because of a large crop, feeds
are generally higher priced because
of a poor crop.—The Progressive
Fanner.

TWICE-A-WEEK
HORSE SAVES
STAR’S LIFE
The love of animal for its' master Is
a theme upon which poets, essayists
and hedonists have written thousands
of words. Usually such stories have
long associations for their foundation.
The pet is raised “from the cradle.”
But here is a story from real life
without that feature. It happened on
five days’ “acquaintance.”
For one of the elaborate scenes
in “Merry-Go-Round”—that depicting
the rout of Austrian Emperor’s body
guard in which 1200 extras were en
gaged—Norman Kerry, one of the
stars, needed a blooded horse of the
finest spirit. Mounted at the head of
a vast column of men he was to lead
the retreat, fighting every inch of
way.
A week previous to the making of
this sequence, Kerry was at the Am
bassador hotel in Los Angeles, and
saw there a sorse which was a mag
nificent brute of unusual intelligence..
He had to have that horse) Finding
the owner he made arrangements to .
get it.
For five days he gave the animal
a daily round of friendly training
and "Friendship” developed at a
rapid stride. The day'«! the big
scene came.
There was a slender* column of
cavalry and a horde of infantry,
coming from opposite direction and
joining to pass through a narrow
gate. The tumult of shouting and
beating of hoofs was tremendous. In
the midst of the flashing s etrne Kerry
was crowded by a charging group of
horsemen and fell—right beneath the
hoofs of onrushing beasts!
Cries from everyone who ‘taw the
fall only added to the tumult. '
Director Rupert Julian and every
worker around rushed through the
squirming mass ocf tangled humanity
as fast as crowded bodies ccvid be
separated. By the time they arrived
at tbe gate, thsr? was a etea/ space
on every side of Kerry,
Kerry was on his back on the
ground. There was a little hh>cid on
his face, but he la ugh ted.
He might well smile, tm he was
lying under Tamara*.
The beast was standing with legs
outstretched, rigid, covering the body
r his rider. He had stopped in
stantly and stood like granite while
the great masses of men and horses
had rushed by. Between legs Kerry
had lain without moving. One swing
ing hoof as a horse wheeled had
struck his head, but the trot was
slight. Tamarar was quivering, his
nostrils distended, one leg bribed to
the bone.
“Good boy, Tammy,” said Kerry
with a smile, as he lifted bnmtotf
stiffly to his feet—but no one else
smiled.
Incidently this episode gives some
idea of the magreificance of “Merry-
Go-Round,” which comes to the
Strand Theatre here on next Thurs
day and Friday, April 3 and 4, for an
engagement of two days. The Aus
trian capital has been reproduced in.
all its pre-war time splendor. There
is a tender all-consuming love story
running throughout.
