MARTIN, m26c Lawrenceville, Ga. PIENTV Of GAS. AUTOMGBILISTS will he interest o lc :i that all records arc being r l:en n the production,of gasoline. Whether the enormous output will bo reflected in a reduction in prices is a matter 01 speculation. • An announcment by the Depart ment of Interior will be interesting news to “gas”, users. It follows: “The gasoline refiners of the coun try continue to set new records in the production oi this commodity, the output in March amounting to 713,248,292 gallons, which surpasses by 48,000,000 gallons the previous high record established in January. ‘‘Statistics collected by the Bu reau of Mines show also that a new high record in gasoline stocks was attained on April 1, when 1,571.104,- 6G7 gallons were on hand at refin eries. “The figure represents an increase of practically 200,000,000 galons on March 1 .Production of gasoline in March of this year shows a daily in crease of 3,030,546 gallons, or 17.8 per cent over the March 1923, fig ures, and a daily increase of 605,- 396 gallons, or 2.6 per cent over the figures for February, 1924. These figures are indicative of the normal tread in the production of gasoline during the winter months, the output during this period being generally in excess of the consump tion in order to provide large stor age reservoirs to s.upply the country during the summer motoring season. “Domestic demands or gasoline during March is reported by the Bu reau of Mines at 462,020,385 gal lons, an increase of 3.5 per cent, over the figures for March of last year, and an increase of 6 per cent over the figures for February, 1924. Exports of gasoline decreased 18,- 455,988 gallons as compared with the exports for the previous month. “The output of gas and fuel oils ■for March was 1,114,411,725 gallons as compared with 970,891,272 gal lons in March, 1923, an increase of 143,520,453 gallons. Stocks decreas ed 41,047,486 gallons during the month. S£ND US YOUR JOB WORK. PLANTING TIME IS HEFcb The farmers are busiest ofi all people just at this season. The weather is ripe for paining and pre paring for crops and every day is counting for much with the tillers of the soil. The season has been un usually late, but ifthe present weather continues for a few weeks longer, crops will be as far advanced as they would ordinarily under favorable seasons. In this section the farmers have increased their acreage in foodstuff and reduced in acreage of cotton which is one of the moost enturag ing signs for better times this fall, with incereased acreage of food stuff for both man and beast the country is bound to prosper and grow richer. That a fair crop of cotton will be gown these is no dout. Our peopU have learned how to control or eradicate the ravages of the boll weevil and instead of making a bale to three or four acres, they will make almost a bale to th? acre and in some instances they wiil average a bale. Thal( coondition is encouraging and will stimulate every line of business. Whiie this section has long since gotten away from the one crop idea, yet it is well to raise a iartain perrentage of sotton. Diversification of crops has been the saving of our people and with improved conditions there can never be danger of the agricultural interests suffering in this section. F. Q. SAMMON.

With politics in the atmosphere and the prospect of bringing the old ballot box in pse again this year, the Australian ballot is finding unusual favor in many parts of the state, ac cording to reports received here. Under an act of the legislature it is possible for any county in Georgia to adopt the “Australian ballot” system in white primaries. A number of counties acted favorably on this elec tion method this spring and the re ports indicate that the voters were highly pleased with the plan. Political leaders assert that the se cret ballot is the one thing needed to perfect Georgia’s white primary sys tem. It was pointed out that every qualified voter has a right to cast his ballot without interference from any one in any way, and the Australian ballot gives him perfect protection in that right. Rich or poor, educated or illiterate, his ballot is his own, to be cast as he pleases—however wisely or unwisely. “The white primary is the political salvation of the south,” said E. B. Russell, editor of the Cedartown Stan dard, who is urging its adoption in his home county of Polk. “The wn'te primary was adopted to secure de cency as far a* possible in our politi cal life, and I am fully convinced that it will ho wisely strengthened by the addition of the Australia.! ballot.” Railroad transportation costs arc credited with an importance in the cost of living entirely unwarranted by the facts, in the opinion of freight agents in- Atlanta who discussed the subject today at the request, of the correspondent of this news service. Of the 10 cents paid for a loaf of bread in the larger cities of the country, according to the federal de partment of agriculture, to which the freight agents called attention, the railroads receive a third of a Cent for transporting the wheat to the mills and a sixth of a cent for bringing the flour to the baker. “If the railroads carried the wheat and flour for nothing, the saving on the price of a 10-cent loaf of bread would be only half a cent, promising no reduction to the customer,” said one Atlanta agent. It was pointed out that if dealers’ purchases are made from reasonable sources of supply one never pays as much as a cent a pound in freight charges on sugar, coffee, oatmeal, po tatoes, eggs, fresh meat, butter, or some twenty-five other important ar ticles of food. Railroads, it was asserted,receive about 6 cents for carrying a suit of clothes 300 miles, and about 5 cents for transporting a pair of shoes a similar distance. Freight rates on American railroads are the lowest in the world, agents declare. The average rate on a ton of freight carried one mile in the United States is approximately 1 cent. For an equivalent service Eng lish railroads receive three times as much, and French and German roads ibout four times as much. YOUTHFUL BABE RUTHS. Where two or three boys are gath ered together there is the start of a hall game. It matters not that an alley, a street, backyard, is all that is available. The rules are adjusted to suit the conditions.

Observation is convincing that there is as much fun to be had in playing an alley game interrupted frequently by passing‘trucks and with improvised c ji! pment as under conditions where there is more room and nothing to in terfere with the progress of the game. If a mitt salvaged from a rubbish heap is not the prized possession of tome boy something else can be made to supply the deficiency, for no self respecting boy would try to play ball without giving at least an imitation of possessing a mitt. And games of this character are thoroughly democratic. There is no snobbery, no race preju dice. Boys of a half dozen shades of color may participate, but they are Americans because they are devoted to the national game. One who observes the efforts of small boys in playing ball amid such restricted surroundings cannot repress a regret that better facilities for play are no; afforded. Yet those who make •he best of what they have are learn ig a valuable lesson, though they may not be aware of it. The small d r an alley and get a lot of fun out of it is imbibing instruction in the philosophy of getting something out of Ife wherever life finds him.
