The total dis tance of the route under considera tion is 130.6 miles, of which eighty- one miles are .already paved, thirty- three miles are graded, six and six- t-nths are now being graded and sixteen are ungraded.

What is the world coming to any- J'll not forget the first time I heard a radio. I Just couldn’t make up my mind’ that such a thing was possible, and when I finally heard this beautiful soprano voice float ing out of that horn, and they told me that the singer was in Texas— I just felt life telling them to quit kidding me—altho I knew that what they said was true. But I have never ceased to marvel. And not so ljng ago—when I was carried up to the fifth or sixth story of the Biltmorc Hotel where W. S. B. is located, and went into the little room where the "mike” vat hanging—to get ready for a broadcasting program, I just wond er-d (like the old woman who woke up and even her little dog didn’* know her) "can this be.really ME:'. It is rather a queer experience— speaking to an audiance—of you know not how many hundred peo ple—and not be able to see or hear a thing. And they say—it will not be LONG before we will have the radio-teUphonca. Well, well, well,— now did you ever? ' Then—they sty, that pretty soon we will have li tie screens on our telephones. and when the receiver is down, the picture of the per-on talk ing will fla-h on that screen.

International Harvester Company, Atlanta, Ga. Gtntlcmen: Believing that you will be interested in why I continue to *u> I ARM ALLS. I wish to tell you how we are handling them. In the spring of 1927, I bought one FARMALL and with it 1 cultivated two hundred acres of cotton and corn. I was so well pleased with it that in the fall of 1928 1 bought .another, adding two hundred additional acres to power farming. The results continued to be satisfactory so in th;- spring of 1929 I bought still another FARAMALL. With the three I am now cultivating seven hundred acres. All the yields have been very satisfactory. You will be interested too in learning that I am now averag ing twenty-five to thirty acres per day per man with the FARM- ALL. In the spring of 1930, I expect to buy another FARMALL for myself and oi.e for my daughter. With tfec one for my daugh ter, I expect to eliminate four families and five mules and have one family do the'work of five. • 1 would like also to tell you that the upkeep has been practically nothing on all of them. In addition, I am using four INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS that have given me excellent service, Yours very truly, S. B. TRAWICK O. M. ENNIS ways recently surveyed by this cor- 1 respondent the Augasta-Macon Road shows inadequate .oiar.it* nance, al though it is much better kept than some others. Much excellent w*ork is being done on the shoulders and banks of the fort/-seven-mile caved section between Augusta and Louis ville, but there are still stretches where thr banks are washing away, and where there are ruts and holes .alongside the paving. In a few places there are seams and cracks in the concrete, which need filling with asphalt, and in the fifteen-mile stretch northeast of Louisville there are several places where the concrete has expand'd and buckled, leaving broken and -’rumbling strips the en tire width of the paving. These should be cut out and patched with asphalt. On the unpaved sec. on between Louisville and Milledgeville, a dis tance of . fifty-five and six-tenth miles, there are pinny placer where the top-soil is thin or entirely worn away. These will be slick and mud dy during the winter rains and many of the hills will be difficu't and perilous to negotiate. Inadequate maintenance on the Augusta-Macon Highway appears to be due more to lack of funds than negiect, as a number of crews were seen at work.—The Atlanta Journal. 666 Dealer U • Proscription for Colds, Grippe, Fh, Deofoo, BiBoas Fcrtr ud Mshris.
