TO BE GIVEN BY Mr. Price said “The boy farmers not only have increased the value of our corn crop more than $100,000 which isn’t so very much, in dollars and cents, per haps but they' have done an infinite ly greater w ork in inspiring our farm ers generally to attempt improved methods, with the result that land which two years ago was producing fi' • an acre* is now producing com values in excess of $100. “What does this mean to Georgia? Simply that Its banks are. now prac tically overflowing with funds, whereas a year ago money < ould not l>» obtained on collateral of the most gilt-edged variety, due purely to the fact that lh« re was none on deposit. What is true of Georgia is true in a measure* *<f all other Southern States “The Federal Department of Agri culture has not confined Its efforts to helping raise corn. It has shown us the broad advantage to be obtained through a diversification of crops, and has instilled into the minds of our farmers the fact that they should not sell their grain, but feed It to stock. To demonstrate this, the Fed eral department is now organizing pig clubs, i^nd buyers from the (’hicaec packing bouses are touring the South to purchase cattle. “Cotton, of course, is still our sta ple, and while the Georgia cotton crop this year will be worth $175,000,- 000, our corn crop will be worth at least $100,000,000, and, besides, we will have a heavy hay crop and large Ottu r gr ii in**. Aa 1 he Ifll cultural representative of tho State, I am urging the people to study and to follow the methods taught by the Federal Department of Agriculture, and we are now working hand in hand with It. ‘‘Too high praise can not be given this great national department for the work it is doing to benefit the farm ers of the South and nation.” Hur" makes its strongest bid for glory •—-the production is rather fine. There are ingenious i-ontrlvan ‘ to bring about certain startling effects, as In the instance of the shipwreck scene and the chariot race There ire en sembles. particularly toward the last of the play, which < reate the impres sion of something like grandeur of the stirring, inspiring sort. Tier* are the two scenes, for Instance, at the very last, one showing the awful Vale of Hinnom, to which lepers are con signed. and the other revealing Mount Olivet and its great crowd waiting to meet the Messiah. Suggestion Does Much. Both these wa nes have tb.it qualify of grandeur. It must he admitted, however, that the offert is product ! as much by suggestion as by visuali sation. In these two last scenes, too, there Is a dramatic power that is Im pelling Concerning “Ben-'Hur” as « plav, however, it Is to be questioned wheth er too many long, exacting explana tory speeches and t<><> much turbulent acting make anything for the com fort of the audience. Dew Wallace’s novel, however, you naturally would expect to lend Itself to a forced, high- tension drama. Tho acting of Its kind was good. Thomas Holding, playing tho part of Bon-Hur. was admirably adapted to that heroic part, by reason of per sonal appearance, voice and ability f o act well His enunciation was per fect. That is considerably to h1s cred it, when you consider that he hardly spoke a ilne during the this* hours and a half that whs not Impassioned and full of fire. Cast Is Strong. And os much can not be said of all the cast. Virginia HnWell wjls a sufficiently effective Iras and interpreted tho character satisfactorily. However, the chara* ter, to begin with, Is rath er Impossible. Still that criticism mtghrt. apply to several of General Wallace's creations Arthur Ltnden as Messale, Walter Rherwin as Simonides, Roberta Bren nan as Esther are to be accorded a word or two for their work. “Ben-Hur” will be at tbe Atlanta nil the week, with matinees Wednes day and Saturday. The performances begin n.t 8 o’clock In the evening and 2 o’clock at the matinees Congressman Dudley M Hughes, of the Twelfth District, who spent a few hours in Atlanta recently on his way to Washington, believes the present session of Congress the first regular session of the same is likely to run well along to July before adjourn ment. Mr. Hughes expects currency legis lation to lx* effected eventually, much after the fashion desired by the Pres ident and his close advisers, but ho does not expect it to come precipi tately. There is a very great deal of hon est difference of opinion in Congress, so Mr. Hughes thinks, with regard to currency legislation, and these differences will have to lie thrashed out thoroughly and with due consid eration for everybody, and that will take time. Just what direction the anti-trust campaign will take the Congressman from the Twelfth hardly seemed able to predict. He expects the Admin istration 1 o he very vigorous, if not actually radical, in that direction, but progress will be necessarily slow, nevertheless. There ha a been some talk of oppo sition to Mr. Hughes in the Twelfth, but apparently the suggestion is not worrying the Congressman particu larly. He says he intends remaining at his post of duty in Washington, doing the best he knows how for his constituents, and will cross no re- election • bridges before he gets ro them.

For an Effort to Four Churches of Atlanta “The suggestion that Governor Blease is to have a ’walk-over’ In his race for the United States Sen ate, which statement I have noticed in the press here and there of late,” said n prominent South Carol inan to day. “Is all a mistake- a bigfl radical mistake. On the contrary. Blease 1s going to have the very hardest time of his career getting elected over the present Senator, Ellison Smith “Bless*' has a large following in South Carolina, and he has been able to hold 1t together mighty well, but It alone can not elect him. It must be skillfully combined with other ele ments to get by with a load like Blease." Blease ha* rather overdone the thing, too, of late—particularly in the matter of pardoning red-handed crim inals by the wholesale, and turning them loose on the State Thousands of the best people of the Palmetto State are determined that Blease shall not misrepresent it in the highest position within the gift of the people “Blease has managed to bluff Ills way along In large measure so far, but his bluffing days are over. South Carolina Is nearing the end of Blease- lsm—mark thnt prediction! Ellison Smith may not be the grandest Sen ator ever elected to Congress from South Carolina, but he is going hack to the Senate over Blease going back with a whoop!” PAUL NELL A North Georgia editor has sold ids newspaper and entered the min istry, and a South Georgia editor has sold his newspaper and entered poli tics.

Would Curb Storage To Cut Cost of Living siastio applauding The sketch Is the story of a young couple who are try ing to keep house In a single room, and it Is not warped out of all human proportions. Miss Orford’s Elephant*, however, probably deserve the title as the headline attraction. Two elephants as large as any ever seen in the cir cus and a smaller elephant present a startling appearance on the stage. And If tho blase showgoerx who al ways leave during tho last act had waited until the end they would have seen several exhibitions of remarka ble animal intelligence Even the girls who make their supercilious way up the aisles while the last act is in progress it Is quite a habit with a vaudeville audience— have never seen anything better.
