STALE GRAIN CROP
Plans Far State Bureau Are Now Being
Worked Gut By Officials In
Capital City
ALL OBSTACLES OVERCOME
Purpose Of Plan Is To Aid The State’s
Agricultural Department In De¬
velopment Of State
Atlanta.—Plans are rapidly ripening
now for the formation of a company
to handle Georgia crops, such as
wheat, oats, corn, hay, peas and simi¬
lar products, an outline of which was
given recently in this correspondence.
A number of conferences have been
held among men of means and influ¬
ence and each time a perfected plan
comes a little nearer final solution. Va.
rious obstacles incident to such an or¬
ganization have about been met and
overcome, and it is probable that defi¬
nite announcement can be made very
shortly.
These men recognize the fact that
matters have been radically wrong in
the past to promote such diversifica¬
tion, through lack of adequate cash
markets at all times, and the further
fact that the farmers must be taught
how to prepare such products for the
market. If these obstacles can be suc¬
cessfully overcome, then the stuff rais¬
ed in this state will replace the enor¬
mous quantitites shipped in from other
sections.
It may be stated that the organiza¬
tion of this company will contemplate
the personal gain of no individual or
group of individuals. The men behind
it want to do real good and give per¬
manent help to their state, and they
believe it can best be done through
such a central market clearance or¬
ganization.
Tentative plans have been submitted
to financiers, business men and those
with practical experience generally and
have been indorsed. It is probable that
a well-known and successful business
man of Macon will be at the head of
this organization. He has been urged
to undertake if and has the matter un¬
der advisement now.
Aiding The Unemployed
Atlanta.—Atlanta does not expect to
stop with action in appropriating $150,
000 to give employment to several liun.
dred idle men for some months.
A preliminary meeting has been held
by the chamber of commerce towards
beginning now to promote plans for a
big southeastern exposition next year
at Lakewood.
While this plan is as yet tentative,
It is known that prominent business
men have had this idea under advise¬
ment for some time; It will be re¬
called that two delegations of busi¬
ness men visited the state fair in Ma¬
con, and the understanding then was
this was done in order to get ideas as
to the handling of an exposition.
The plan does not contemplate any
conflict with the state fair, but is in¬
tended to embrace a number of the
states in the Southeast, with a large
exposition, funning perhaps at a time
which will not offer conflict with the
state fair.
Many advocate immediate issuance
of bonds for this purpose, to which
business concerns would subscribe, and
that a large force of men be employed
at once in shaping the grounds and
putting up buildings.
The chamber of commerce has also
inaugurated a “build now" campaign.
Many building operations have been
projected for spring, and these parties
are being urged to commence now in
order to give the idle employment.
In the work planned by the city only
residents of Atlanta will be employed,
and preferably men with families to
support. Efforts to let this work by
contract were voted down.
Few Barbers Examined
Atlanta.—Georgians had better learn
to handle a safety razor and shears
or else reserve their chair at their fa¬
vorite barber’s for New Year’s Day
and afterward, or the forthcoming crop
of whiskers is likely to make Kan¬
sas ashamed of itself. For hardly 10
per cent of the barbers in Georgia
have applied for examination under
the state license law passed last sum¬
mer, and the barber who shaves a
man after January first, not having a
state license on his wail, may take
thirty days In jail.
Governor Makes Inquiries
Atlanta,—As many of the bonds now
coming in from newiy-elected tax col¬
lectors and receivers, which must be
filed with the comptroller general, do
not bear the fifty cents in war revenue
stamps required under the act effective
December 1, Governor Slaton has writ¬
ten Internal Revenue Collector A. O.
Blalock for a ruling as to whether or
not such bonds should not be returned
for the stamps and whether or not
such failure to apply stamps invali¬
dates the bond. The tax act says ‘‘on
indemnifying bonds or surety bonds or
fidelity bonds, 50 cents.”
Krauss Scores Atlanta
Macon.—In a public address at the
city auditorium heard by 2,000 Macon
people, Dr. Louis L. Krauss, head of
the bureau of moral and hygienic edu¬
cation of New York City, who has been
here for a week studying social con¬
ditions, scored the city of Atlanta un¬
mercifully in summing up the condi¬
tions as he said he found them there.
Doctor Krauss, when in Atlanta a lit
he tie had more called than a upon week Mayor ago, stated Woodward that j j
and asked for a permit to discuss ]
white slavery and similar sensational
questions upon the streets of Atlanta,]

DOINGS AROUND
W\\V\VW//////K STATE CAPITAL g
Rural Schools For Whole State
Atlanta.—The first county survey of
schools in the hugp task of what is
designed to be a survey ultimately of
every county in the state, has been
completed.
For specific reasons a typical moun¬
tain county was selected, Rabun, and
the result is most interesting to stu¬
dents of educational progress and
needs. The foreword by the state su¬
perintendent of schools reveals the
plan and its purpose fully:
“We have always needed closer su¬
pervisions in our rural school work.
The regular institute conductors have
all they can do to look after the task
specifically committed to their care.
Whenever possible they visit schools,
but it can be readily seen that a
supervisor, with the responsibility of
giving five days’ training to the teach¬
ers of fifty counties, will have very
little time during the year for actual
inspection of school conditions.
"impressed with this need of ours
for a trained expert to make an ac¬
tual diagnosis of conditions in each
county, and prescribe proper reme¬
dies for the educational authorities, 1
secured the promise of funds for the
salary and expenses of such an of¬
ficial from the general education board
last summer. By reason of his long
experience as county superintendent
and state supervisor and because of
his undoubted success in improving
rural conditions, Mr. M. L. Duggan
is especially suited for this work. He
has accordingly been appointed rural
school agent and as rapidly as pos¬
sible will make educational “surveys”
of the various counties.
"Experience has shown that coun¬
ties and even wealthy cities are sen¬
sitive about work of this type. So
true is this that large educational sys¬
tems have been known to fight such
surveys and to prevent the publica¬
tion of the reports after completion.
While this sensitiveness may be nat¬
ural, it is not right to hide from view
conditions which are based upon the
expenditure of public funds, even
though humiliatingly small. There
was nothing of this reluctance on the
part of the brave little county in
which the first survey was made. It
is the first, mountain county in Geor
gia to add to the state fund by local
taxation and this of itself Indicates
its progressive character. Much of
its land Is composed of mountains, and
though they are beautiful with the
purple haze that always lies above
the Blue Ridge, one would naturally
not expect to find much per capita
wealth among the hills. They are
willing to face' conditions frankly,
however, to intend to improve them,
and such spirt), insures progress.and
development,"
Noted Pythian Visitors
Atlanta.—Supreme Chancellor Brig.
S. Y’aung of Ada, Ohio, head of the
Order of the Knights of Pythias, will
come to Georgia shortly after the hol¬
idays for the purpose of making an
official visit to Atlanta, Augusta, Ma¬
con, Americas, Columbus and Bruns¬
wick. This has been announced by
H. M, Stanley, grand chancellor of
Georgia. In May Supreme Chancellor
Young will return to Georgia for the
purpose of attending the Grand Lodge
session at Savannah.
It is also announced by Mr. Stan¬
ley that Rev, Frederick S. Attwood,
for four years grand chancellor of
Minnesota, known as the “blind opti¬
mist," will deliver addresses on “Fra¬
ternity and Pythian Knighthood,” in
Rome, Atlanta, Macon, Athens, Colum¬
bus, Albany, Savannah and Valdosta.
The forty-eight-page booklet on
Rabun contains a statement by Pro¬
fessor Duggan, a description of Ra¬
bun’s physical condition and general
description of existing conditions as
relates to education. Pictures of each
school with succinct information con¬
cerning the same fills several pages.
Brave Society Girl
Atlanta.—The board of police com¬
missioners probably would not peti¬
tion the mayor and city council for
forty additional policemen to patrol
Atlanta at night to prevent burglaries
and highway robberies if all the pret¬
ty misses of Atlanta were as brave as
Miss Estelle Lindsay, a popular mem¬
ber of the younger social set, proved
herself to be, A burglar was attempt¬
ing to break into the home of Mrs.
J. T. Stephenson, a next-door neigh¬
bor. Miss Lindsay quickly telephoned
for police aid and then, arming her
sfelf with a big pistol, went over to
her neighbor’s home to protect them
until the police arrived.
Many Hold-Ups In Atlanta
Atlanta.—Citizens of Atlanta are be¬
coming alarmed at the increased num¬
ber of burglaries and hold-ups, and are
urging the authorities to do something
to check it. The hold-up artists are
not confining their operations to the
city, but appear to be working on the
country roads approaching Atlanta. “I
think it’s better that extra men have
a partner,” said Chief of Detectives
Lanford. “You know it’s not safe for
a detective to go out on the streets
by himself, day or night."
Laborers Urge New Schools
Atlanta.—Recognizing the necessity
of a bond issue for school improve¬
ments and new buildings—whether it
be ?3,600,000 or $4,100,000—just so
long as the school system is benefit¬
ed and the menace of overcongestion
is removed, the Atlanta Federation of
Trade has adopted strong resolutions
approving _ the _ issuance ________ of ■ municipal _______ r _
bonds. The resolutions go further and
urge upon every man and woman af
filiated with the local labor movement
to give their aid and support to th«
bond is3ue proposal.

Geometrical Staircase.
What is believed to be the first geo¬
metrical staircase ever built of con¬
crete forms a part of the “Caracol"
tower In a museum building that has
just been completed in Los Angeles.
The building with its tower is in the
quaint ancient Spanish style of archi¬
tecture and is constructed entirely of
poured concrete. The tower is 125
feet high. In the center Is the geo¬
metrical stairway, consisting of 160
steps, circling around an open space
only 24 inches in diameter and mount¬
ing to a height of 120 feet. Unlike
most geometrical staircases, including
the one in St. Paul’s cathedral In Lon¬

left for rooms of fairly large size on
each of the seven floors.—Popular Me¬

THE FOLLY OF DISCONTENT
Vain Longing and Aspirations, as
This Little Fable Shows, Are
Things of Moment.
A fashionable woman, coming from
the opera, in the rosy nest of a limou¬
sine, passed a group of laborers at
midnight. Machines, like terrible ani¬
mals, were burrowing into the earth.
Steam was hissing, as if from the
mouths of a million serpents. Rocks
flew in every direction. Torchlights
danced. There was the thunder of la¬
bor. The night shift was in full
swing.
And the woman, glancing from the
window, at a certain workman, for an
instant thought:
“How I wish I had that‘brawny la¬
borer’s strength and joy of life! How
1 envy him his power, liis physical
perfection, the wonder of his man¬
hood, his freedom from the shackles
that bind me. He is his own master,
while 1 am a slave—the slave of a
man I despise!"
At that moment the laborer paused
long enough by the deep chasm where
his engine rocked, to glance into the
motor as it sped by him. And he
thought:
"Oh, to be like her! To know leis
sure and wealth and rest! To he free
from drudgery and toil, to come and
go as I pleased! To throw off the
chains of debt and worry, and have
the days and nights stretch ahead of
me like a field of flowers!"
But in another ‘ instant the motor
was gone. The torchlights Hared
brighter than ever. And each had
forgotten the other.—Judge.

FIND TIME FOR KINDNESSES
Two Stories of Courteous Conductors
Who Looked After Their
Passengers.
"Once I was down in Louisiana,” a
traveler began, “on a little railroad
that runs from Franklin to Week's
island. It took five hours to go 20
miles. The most amazing thing to me
was that the conductors stopped the
train anywhere he was asked to, and
if there were no one to meet a wefman
with innumerable bags and
the inevitable baby, he helped her
across a plowed field or sfent a brake
man to carry her traps to her own
gate and the train waited until lie
came back.”
“Nothing surprising about that,” re¬
turned a born New Yorker. “The
Madison avenue cars stop every day
for reasons quite remote from a regu¬
lar schedule. I was on a car this after¬
noon and a little boy dropped his
mother’s umbrella out of the window.
The conductor stopped the car and
ran back a block and a half, got the
umbrella, delivered it‘to the woman
and incidentally advised her not to let
lier son have it again.
“Besides, I've known of more than
one eye being punched out of a care¬
less baby with such a plaything.”—
New York Times.
Mexico's Salt-Producing Lake.
Though Mexico offers many wonders
for the inspection of the traveler none
Is more interesting or peculiar than
the salt-producing lake near Salinas
station, on the Tampico division of the
Mexican Central railway, 72 miles west
of San Luis Potosi. It may well be
termed a two-story lake, for at times
there is a lake of fresh water over
lying the salt lake. A water-tight
roof of green mud separates the fresl;
from the salt water. For a large
part of the year there is no fresh¬
water lake there. The sun licks it up
soon after the rainy season 1 b over.
The salt secured from this lake goes
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about sixty-five years. The
whole town of 5,000 people makes its
living from the salt. The property
is owned by a family or estate, but
it is said that not. one of the owners
has lived there for years.

LITTLE CHANGE IN MANKIND
Scientists of Opinion That Dispersion
and Separation of Races Was
Not Rapid Process.
Thought It is conceivable that man¬
kind may have spread from a common
center over the entire earth in a few
thousand years. Prof. Arthur Keith, in
a Birmingham university lecture, has
pointed out that the discoveries of the
last 50 years clearly indicate that the
dispersion and separation into widely
separated races has not been a rapid
process.
The inhabitants of the lower Nile
valley, though immigrants have ar¬
rived among them, show clearly per¬
sistence of the old types for 8,000
years. The permanence of human
types has been also shown in Amer¬
ica, and a human skeleton of Y’ansiug,
Kan., found at a depth of 23 feet in a
glacial deposit, probably dates back
12,000 years.
The men of England of 5,000 years
ago had the modern stature, with the
form of head and strength of muscle
of many men of today. Professor Keith
declarfc that his audiences had rep¬
resentatives of the men of the Derby¬
shire cave, in America the red In¬
dian preserves the form of men who
lived before the last glacial invasion,
and the predynastic Egyptian survives
in tribes on the Red sea.
Told at the Card Club.
“A little girl sitting next to me in
church was coughing,” said Mrs. Jones
at the card club. "So I whispered to
her mother for permission to slip her
a cough drop. The child held It in
her mouth a moment and then swal¬
lowed it.”
“ ‘W ould you kindly give her
an¬
other?’ the mother whispered.
“ ‘I’m sorry, but I had only the one,’
I answered.
“Coming out of church I felt in my
pocket and was horrified to fish out
the cough drop. You see, I had had
a cough drop and a button in my
pocket.”
“And what did you do?” chorused
the women at the table. ‘‘Did you tell
her mother?"
"No, I didn’t. I waB mad. It was
a very unusual button from my new
suit.”

Coinage.
In the fifteenth century a skilled
coiner, of w'hom there were but few,
might be able to turn out by hand
fifty or sixty coins a day, a result to¬
tally inadequate to cope with the vast
quantity of treasure, chiefly silver,
that shortly began to arrive from
America. To multiply coiners was to
multiply forgers, and thus the coining
machine bcame a necessity of state.
A laminating mill and screw coining
press was invented in Italy, 1547;
Spain, 1548; France, 1553; England,
1561, reign of Elizabeth. After sev¬
eral trials and abandonments the mill
and press were established perma¬
nently under Charles II, whose golden
guineas, struck in 1662, were the first
regular issues of machine coins made
north of the channel.

it is to grin.
