charges.

U. S. SHIFTING SOME OF
ITS LOAD TO STATES
Four million names will be strick-
i from federal relief rolls by the
first of February, if plans of the
Roosevelt administration materialize.
The 4,000.000 constitute about 20
per cent of the total on relief and
arc classified by the government as
“unemployablcs.” Their care is to
rest upon the government.*, of the
states in which they reside.
They are the sick, the aged and
the profligate: those for whom no
c can be founjl or who are
physically unable or refuse to accept
jobs.
For the remaining 80 per cent the
government hopes to provide relief
jobs, probably through huge naw
appropriations for public works. To
aid the unemployable* the federal
and the state governments are to be
urged to enact old nge pension laws.
Money has been spent—still is be
ing spent—by the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars for care of the
needy. The federal government pro-
ided about 70 per cent of all re
lief funds during 1934.
Today 31 states are contributing
relief funds, and state relief ex
penditures in 1034 totaled more
than $230,000,000.00.
This spending will continue, prob
ably even increase, under the new
plan, while the federal government
uses its funds for financing work
projects in which the unemployed
work for the payments they re-

Will Be The “Biggest Show” In 139
Years. Say Scientists.
The sun in 1935 will preseni
greatest show of eclipses witnessed
on the earth in 130 years.
Professor Alfred H. Joy. secretary
of the Carnegie Institution's Mount
Wilson observatory, at Pasadena.
California, said the sun and moon
together will offer seven eclipses, the
largest number possible in any
year.
The moon will pass between the
sun and earth five times and the
moon will be in the earth’s shadow
twice.
Not since 1850 have the sun’s rs
been partly blotted from the earth
many times. It will be the second
series of five solar eclipses in
since 1255. and there will not be
another such number until 2485.
There have been seven eclipses
several years between, but always
four-three combination.
Last year there were two lunar and
two solar eclipses, none visible
the United States.
And there is the rub for the 1935
show: only two eclipses will be
sible in the United States.
Professor Joy said a partial eclipse
of the sun will be visible ovei
United States next February 3. The
will rise eclipsed for the Pacific
coast region.
A total eclipse of the moon will be
•isible over the entire United States
July 16.
The last total eclipse of the
sible in the United States was
August 31. i932, and there will not
he another seen in this country until
1945.
A GEORGIA RABBIT ATTACKS
AND BADLY INJURES DOG
PEOPLE AND PLANTS
NEED SIMILAR DIET
RMttrdi Reveals Thai So-Called
Impurities In Fertillsen are as
Important as Vllsmtas In Unman
Close similarity between the food
requirements of children and the
food requirements of plans—cotton
:om for example—is being
pointed out in a new series of inter
esting advertisements specially pre
pared for thi6 newspaper by the
Chilean Nitrate Educational Bureau
And these advertisements, agri
cultural scientists agree, are right
in line with the most advanced re
search and knowledge, for they are
based primarily upon the vital im
purities or rare elements which,
because of its natural origin, Chilean
Nitrate of Soda contains.
Recent study has revealed that
these impurities in plant diet are as
important as the vitamins in the diet
of human beings. The impurities give
health and growth to plans. When
they are lacking in the sell—even one
of them—growth is retarded, gen
eral health, is ruined, death of the
plant often results. Just as Vitamin
A in children’s food protects against
nffcction and “catching" diseases, so
the impurities—rare elements such
iodine, boron, magnesium, stron
tium. calcium, lithium, sodium, etc.,
protect plants against diseases and
give them the health that produces
rebust growth and fine yield.
These impurities in Chilean
Natural Nitrate are Nature—given.
Therefore, they are present In this
nitrate in Nature's own balance and
proportion. As soil scientists study
this subject it becomes increasingly
apparent that nitrogen, phosphate
and potash .are only a part of i
plant’s requirements. More and mori
importance is attributed to the im
purities in the production of profit
able crops.

Following the rains of the past
week Capt. R. W. Aim and and his

Capt. Almand sa d work was pro
gressing nicely on the new road

(By G. N. A.)
Commissioner Zack D. Cravey of
the Georgia department of game and
was challenged to prove his as
sertion that the wild life resources
Georgia would be worth $100,-
000.000 to the state by 1940. The
commissioner accepted the challenge
and produced evidence that was said
to be “entirely satisfactory" by the
committee of local sportsmen who
called on him.
'That statement is not a pipe-
dream,” said the commissioner, ar.d
went ahead with his proof, citing
the revenue to the cittizens of Penn
sylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan,
and comparing their possibilities for
game production with those of Geor
gia. It seems that Georgia's climate
and diversity of geographic con
ditions offer exceptional oppor
tunities for game development, well
above those factors of the states
mentioned. In addition. Georgia:
game is not subject to the cyclic
die-off that affects certain game in!
those states every ten years nor is
it subject *o the damaging effects
of hard winters which operate to
reduce the resistance of game birds
and animals to disease and predators
through starvation.
Mr. Cravey also said he would
make the way plain for ihe people
to follow and show them how they
might be able to realize a profit on
wildlife, but it would take the as
sistance of every person in the
state to accomplish the purpose. “It’s
not a one-man job.” he said.
Dr. Sidney L. McGee will have
ready for release about March 1st
a new French text book. L’Ancien
Regime, by F. Funck-Brentano.
The editing has been done in
collaboration with Dr. Claude CJ*
Spiker. of West Virginia University.
While at home Christmas Dr. Mc-
Gcc consulted representatives of
the publishers and was promised
the book would be ready March 1st
Henry C. Holt & Co . one of the
leading publishers of modem langu
age texts will print the book.
