WHAT MUSIC!
what relieved of late, the bachelors
have not displayed as vigorous en
thusiasm toward matrimony as
might have been hoped for. But be
ginning as soon as the stroke of mid
night died away Wednesday morning
|the ladies-9*-waiting are privileged
by custom based on law. to do the
matrimdval propqsitioning them
selves.
The idea was Good Margaret's—
Good Margaret of Norway, who was
queen of Scotland in the thirteenth
century, a lady who felt that the
practice of leaving the matter of
•selection entirely to the male
so much pish and tush.
In the year 1238 margaret decreed
that during her reign—“during the
reign of her Maist Blissit Megestc”
—every “maiden ladyc of both highc
and lowe estate” should have the
privilege each leap year “to be
speak ye man she likes.”
The good queen wen; further. She
i decreed that if the man “refuses to
take her to be his lawful vtyfe, he
shall be mulcted in ye sum of one
pound or less, as his estate may be.”
The only possible avenue of es
cape for the man lay in his ability
to claim exemption on the ground
that he already was “betrothed to an
either woman.”
Tlge whole business, however,
simmers down to the astronomers
who were on Julius Caesar’s WPA
rools In the year 48 B. C. They fig
ured out that a solar year was MS
days and six hours.
The six hours were very com’us
ing to their mathematical minds, bu'
they solved the situation by tossing
them into the calendar year in mass
every four years, dating the day
February 29 and calling the year
“leap year." No one ever seemed to
know just why.
After getting all of this solar fig
uring done, the astronomers discov
ered they were still a few seconds
off per annum—to use their very
words—so they announced that
every century that is not divisible
: by 400 shall not be a leap :
This might seem confusing, but
I such a year won’t happen again
until 2100 A. D., so we can conscien
tiously forget about it altogether.
GEORGIA CROT LOANS
REPAID 15 PER CENT
Umu IMillai Over Sli.Mt.-
A collection record in excess cf 95
per cent on federal emergency crop
and feed loans made in Georgia
during the last three years was
vealed by Erie Cocke, state directoi
of the national emergency council.
From March 1. 1933. through De
cember 1, 1935, the- farm credit ad
ministration. through the seed and
feed lean office, made 131,219 loans
in the slate which totaled $11,215,-
520. Only $546,520 c*. the loans are
outstanding, said Mr. Cocke, with
this remainder being reduced stead
ily.
Tl. percentage of collections in
Georgia exceeds the average for
other states, it was said. The loans
were made only to farmers unable
to obtain crop production loans
from any other organization, and no
security was required except a first
lien on crops of the borrower.
PLANNING
FARM AID BILLS
Washington, Jan. 4.—Representa
tive Carl Vinson, of Milledgeville,
Ga., said today If the supreme court
declared the processing tax uncon
stitutional, he will propose legisla
tion to “appropriate money from the
treasury” to pay farmers for volun
tary crop reductions.
Should the Bankhead compulsory
control act be held valid, he said,
'it is absolutely essential that the
ame be amended to guarantee to
the small crop producer a more
equitable allotment.”
Tlie Georgian disclosed his plans
“to propose an amendment, if the
act is held constitutional, giving each
producer not less than three bales
per plow."
However, if the high tribunal rules
against the act, Vinson said he
would urge the agriculture depart
ment to continue a voluntary pro-
Uon from the normal acreaee „ 1
to 4S per cent, end pay lll( . *» j
farmer not leet than «23 „
the reduction they make i,rd„ .
voluntary pregram. ■
“It is unfair tad unjust to
fanners to reduce their product,
of cotton and to make all the «.
rifice without compensating _
doing 30," he stated. "It la im Mrai “l
that the production of cotton she*, "
be held down to the demands th«
for thus maintaining that balai
between production and consum
tion which will reestablish and r.
tain fair prices for cotton;
wise we would be immediately rot
fronted with five or six cent rotm
which would bankrupt the South/]
