Dr. Soule Speaks
Speaking on a “Live Stock Policv
for Georgia.” Dr. Andrew M. Soule,
; of the State Agricultural college,
i advocated a program of diversified
farming. We ca nproduce corn,
beef, hogs and poultry at a profit
j in Georgia and put millions of acres
of idle land to work, but we must
j act intelligently.’’ he declared. “We
have improved beef and dairy cat
’ tie and hogs in Georgia, but we axe
i •still on the fence. We should for
get the prosperity of the past in
providing for the future of the slate.
! Georgians are meat eaters. Why
not p'-odv.ce in this state sufficient
■ quantity to meet the supply and
make the money a permanent asset''
There are 300.000 undernourished
children in Georgia, whose condi
tion is a serious indictment of our
system, as we produce only one
third of the milk we need.”
Prosperity in Five Years
Discussing hogs. Dr. Soule stated
tha tthere should be at least two
brood sows on every farm in the
state. He declared thta present con
ditions on Georg’a farms could be
corrected in five years by the
' adoption of a sensible program of
■ diversified agriculture.
The speaker injsisted that the
bankers and merchants should en

POIME CONSENTS
TO UNDERTAKE TASK
lOF FORMING CABINET
By Paul Scott Mowrer
(Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicairo Daily Xewr—Copyright, 1924.)
TARIS, March 27. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Raymond Poincare
consented this evening to resume
the premiership which he resigned
yesterday over a defeat of the min
istry in the chamber of deputies.
The premier’s task has been facili
tated by a strong reaction in the
chamber from the action taken yes
terday which caused the downfall of
the cabinet. Groups representing
more than 400 deputies, nearly two
thirds of the lower house, have pass
ed resolutions expressing their con
fidence in the government.
This action, however, is understood
to be insufficient to satisfy M. Pojn
care. He wants not only confidence
but also an assurance that the cham
ber and senate will not insist on the
senate pension bills, which careful
figuring done since the crisis came
is declared to show would saddle the
country with an additional two bil
lion francs expenditure annually
without providing corresponding re
ceipts.
MILLERAND TAKES STAND
SQUARELY BEHIND PREMIER
PARIS, March 27.—President Mil
lera.nd, breaking with all French
political tradition, has flung his full
personal influence into the political
arena behind Raymond Poincare
and the national bloc.
It is reliably reported that «he al->
ready has informed the retired pre
mier that if the latter, having form
ed a "new government, fails to win
a vote of confidence in the cham
ber he, Millerand, will resign as
president of the republic.
At the same time, Le Matin pub
lishes a statement, obviously in
spired, the meaning of which scarce
ly can be interpreted otherwise than
that, if the left wins the forthcom
ing elections, thereby threatening to
modify the French policy, particu
larly the foreign policy, President
Millerand will resign.
marketing, and also the curb mar
ket jn the towns and cities.
Other speakers of the morning
session were H. M. Franklin, presi i
dent of the Merchants and Farmers :

ident of. .the White Provision com
pany, of Atlanta, and Jack L. Pat

BROKEN PROMISE
TH JUDGE SENDS
‘ WOMAN TO JAIL
SAVANNAH, Ga., March 27.
Failure of Mrs. Ben Mopper to
leave Savannah permanently in ac
cordance with a promise made Judge
Barrett, of the federal court, last
fall resulted Wednesday in her
being sentenced to three months in
jail.
Mrs. Mopper, according to Charles
E. Donnelly, assistant district attor
ney, was seen on the streets a short
time ago by one of the federal of
ficials who had heard Judge Barrett
instruct the woman to leave SIOO
with her attorney "as evidence of
her good faith in promising to leave
the city permanently, the money to
be turned over to the court' when
Judge Barrett returned for the next
session here. Mrs. Mopper. however,
it is alleged, went to the lawyer
with whom she had deposited the
money and took- it back and remain
ed in the city.
Mrs. Mopper attempted to explain
her presence in the city in violation
of the agreement Wednesday, but
Judge Barrett told her he had treat
ed her with every consideration and
had been very lenient. Under the
circumstances the court said, he
would give her three months in jail.
