CIRCULATE IN (BEST SECTION OF NORTH GEORGIA. VOL. 53; NO. 11 NEWS AT A GLANCE ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS IN GEORGIA FOUR POINT PROGRAM POINTING TOWARD A “NEW ECONOMY FOR GEORGIA”. ATLANTA, May 30 (GPS).—Dr. Paul W. Chapman, clean of the University of Georgia's agricultural future, in a recent address before the Atlanta Kiwanis club, outlined a four-point program pointing toward a “new economy for Georgia.’’ His proposals were: (1) Increased use of machinery on Georgia’s farms. (2) In creased size of farms through consolida tions of smaller ones. (3) Production of foodstuffs used by the urban population of the state. (4) Production of raw mate rials for growing industries of the state. Pointing out that Georgia can produce and sell only 1,000,000 bales of cotton a year, which, allowing four bales for each family engaged in cotton production in the state, yields an annual income of .S2OO for each of those families, Dr. Chapman said : “This meager income represents 51 per cent, of the cash income of the peo ple of Georgia, and we are, therefore, faced with the necessity of deveoping a new economy for Georgia as far as agri culture is concerned.” . . Odd Beauty : “A train has glamour,’’ said Ctcil B. DeMille, famous motion picture producer, in the New York Jour nal and American. “In fact, the only thing that has more glamour than a snorting locomotive is a beautiful woman, and you may quote me as hesitating a little while before putting the locomo tive in second place. Trains and engines seem to get into a person’s blood from childhood —and to stay there. Maybe it’s the excitement they suggest of far-away places. Maybe it’s simply the spectacle they bring up. Anyway, they fascinate old and young, famous and unknown alike.” Gist Os the News: Plans have been completed for the fourth annual Georgia air tour, which begins in Atlanta June 8 and will continue for four days. Al ready thirty pilots have entereel and at least twenty more are expected ....

Georgia Working Girls Insist On Equal Wages Georgia business girls who have devel oped their skill, want the same salaries which men, holding identical positions, receive. This was brought out in the fourteenth annual conference! of Y.W.C.A. Georgia Business Girls held at Camp Highland. A survey of 403 women, whose ages range from 24 to 35 years, showed that the average salary is $99, while thirty one receive less than SSO a month, and thirty-one receive $l5O and over. There w< re 258 of these girls who have depend ents ; 137 are affected by the wage-hour bill and 288 are covered by social se curity. In the group, 210 have had no salary change, 177 have had salary raises and sixteen have had cuts. The professions registered included machine operator, telephone operator, nurse, teacher, beau tician, typist, utility, insurance, govern ment, finance and bookkeeping. It was said a single man’s expenses ar? more than a single girl’s, because his en tertainment bill is higher. But on thi other hand, a working girl’s clothes cosi more, plus beauty treatments, therefore her purse should be larger.

Ga., May 30 (GPS). —A new $100,(XX) ptanut-shelling plant soon will he erected in Macon county, between Montezuma and Oglethorpe. Present plans for the proposed plant call for a capacity of 0,000 tons of peanuts annually, with possibiity of later ex pansion. The plant will be erected by the Kro ger Grocery & Baking company. It was dedicated last week by upwards of 2,000 farmers, businessmen and state officials, including Gov. Rivers, at a celebration and barbecue sponsored by the Monte zuma Kiwanis club. Details of the new industry, which is expected to consume between $300,000 and $400,000 worth of peanuts grown in this area, center of what has been called “the finest peanut-producing section in the world.” were outlined by Albert II Morrill, president of the Kroger company. He said the farmer’s greatest difficulty is the marketing problem, and added "we want to work with you in solving that problem. A cordial welcome awaits all progres sivo new industries locating in Georgia, but the most sincere welcomes will be those greeting new industries which maintain research laboratories and endea vor to find new uses and new mark, ts for Georgia products, Gov. Rivers said in dedicating the peanut-shelling plant. Lyerly F. F. A. Demonstration The Future Farmer demonstrations are really an experiment, conducted in our home community, to check results of ex periment stations, and show the quantity of Arcadian nitrate it is profitable to use on small grain, such as oats, barley and wheat. Results in other communities in the state show the 8-year average yield of oats, top dressed with different amounts of nitrate of soda as follows: "The yield with no nitrogen, and with IGO, 200 and 300 pounds of nitrate of soda have been 9.8, 19.7, 31.6, and 41.2 bushels, respectively. It wil be notid that each 100 pounds of nitrate has pro duced about ten bushels. Ihe demonstration plot, under the upervision of the Lyerly F.F.A., shows a marked difference where different amounts of nitrate of soda were used. We believe that there will be at least ten bushels of wheat increase pit- 100 pounds of nitrate used. Results of the lemonstration will be published later. (Vateh your newspaper. —Herman Mount, Reporter. FASCIST REGIME. The house committee on un-American ictivities recently made public a tran script of testimony onceming a fantastic, hough vague, plan to establish a fascist i gimfe to run this country under the lead iship of Major-General George Van Horn Moseley, retired. Apparently, the plan did not make much progress. LENDING.

C. COUNTIES GET HALF W. AND A. RENTALS A discount payment of $100,230. ob tained recently by the state from the Reconstruction Finance corporation in disposal of Western & Atlantic rental warrants, must lie divided between the state tleemosynary institutions and the counties, Attorney-General Ellis Arnall ruled. In a letter to Gov. E. D. Rivers the attorney-general said the law authorizing discount of the rentals requires all pro ceeds to be distributed in shares. ■ He listed these as 37 per cent, to state welfare department for construction and repair of institutions ; 3 per cent, to the department of education for Cave Springs School for the Deaf; 10 per cent, to the health department for the state tubercu lar hospital at Alto and 50 per cent, divided equally among the 159 counties. Federal Treasury Deficit Crosses $3,000,000,000 Mark The federal deficit crossed $3,000,000.- 000 this week with a month and a half of the fis'-al year remaining. However, officials did not expect the year-end shortage June 30 to reach the $4,000,000,000 estimated in the budget because receipts to date of $4,908,867.- 056 were somewhat higher than expect ed, and expenditures totaling $7,912,202. 156 were lagging behind forecasts. The deficit, however, will be more than double last year’s. At this time a year ago, the excess of expenditures over re ceipts was $1,134,220,550, compared with $3,003,335,099 now. The federal debt, which sets a new rec ord almost daily, was at a peak of $40.- 203,666.919, or about $2,800,000.000 more than a year ago. SUSAN B. ANTHONY. One hundred and nineteen years ago a Quaker baby was born, known later as Susan B. Anthony. This spring her birth day was celebrated in hundreds of pro grams in honor of the great things she accomplished while here — When she first became interested in women's rights : A man could give away his wife’s chil dren. even an unborn child. No married woman had a legal right to any money she earned. N<> k woman unaccompanied by a man was admitted to a restaurant or hotel. No married woman could own any thing. No married woman could collect dam ages to her person or reputation. Only one obscure college admitted women. No woman in the world could vote or hold office. More than any other woman in our history, Susan B. Anthony contributed to the changing of all that. Her followers pay her no unjust tribute when they say that “she changed the mind of a nation.” Some men claim women were the cause of repealing our Eighteenth amenrment. If so, we are surely being punished by the sight of our children draggl'd to death by drunken auto drivers, dragged into sin and early death by the combina tion of food and alcohol put in reach of the youngest child who wishes to reach his hand through a car window, accept what’s ordered for the crowd by the driver. So, let the leaders of the churches re alize, as always, God's people must lead the nation back to righteousness. Take heed lest the words. “In as much as ye did it unto the least of these, ye did it unto me,” be a’ terrible sentence on our sin of wilful neglect.—M.l.M. AMOY INCIDENT. The landing of American sailors in the international area on the island of Ku langsu in the harbor of Amoy, China, to co-operate with British and French na val forces, following occupation of the settlement by 150 Japanese troops, is in terpreted as a warning to Japan not to molest the International Settlement at Shanghai. Already the Japanese have made representations to the foreign pow ers requesting enlarged rights there. Fol lowing the landing of sailors of the three powers, the Japanese force at Amoy was: substantially reduced. The issues involv ed are not yet disposed of and a new in cident may occur at any time. NICARAGUA. The Good-Neighbor policy recently went into action with Nicaragua when the presidents of the two countries sign ed a five-point program of financial, com mercial and military assistance, including nearly $2,500,000 in credit through the Export-Import bank, of Washington. Nic aragua is to encourage the investment of 'American capital in technical knowl edge and provide adequate dollar exchange to holders of its customs bonds of 1918. TRADE. Stressing the inter-dependence of na tions in today’s world. Francis B. Sayre, assistant secretary of state, recently de clared that stable and lasting world peace can he built only upon a world trade un hampered by exessive barriers and re strictions. He asserted that rhe drive to wards economic nationalism, if continued unchecked, leads surely and inevitably to war, Man “Steals” Hy Mistake; Pays For It GAINESVILLE. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but absent-mind edness may wreck havoc with one's pocketbook. Or so Rafe Banks, a hank er of Gainesville, thinks. It happened that Banks, with his mind on more important matters, hop ped into his parked car and drove to a service station. It was only after he had had the auto completely serviced that he realized he had done a very costly favor for someone who owned a car exactly like his! He had been driv ing the wrong vehicle! Resigned to his fate, the absent-mind ed banker returned the “stolen” car, explained his mistake to a policeman, got into his own car and drove away. Fight Postponed Until Saturday Last Saturday night's fight card was postponed until Saturday. June 3, due to rain. The same card will be presented, which is as follows: Ray McNatt vs. Harold Glymph, ten rounds; Leon Espy vs. Dick Swafford, eight rounds. Also three four-round pre liminaries.

For this distinguished service to the cause of safety and obedience .to the law, the recipient of this reward has earned the gratitude of the public, the police and civic authorities.

Dunn yank ed bananas off a stalk in his grocery for a customer and thereby caused a wide ripple of excitement in this south Ala bama town. Because, as Dunn yanked off the ba nanas out fell an even dozen baby mon keys. Dunn thought the tiny animals were mice, but when the grocery ‘store cat only sniffed them and walked away, right then he suspected some kind of ■'monkey business" A kitten wandered by a little later, howevtr. and gobbled up three before be ginning to turn up its nose. Dunn began a closer investigation of the “mice” and discovered they were monkeys. One died overnight, but the next day he was feeding the remaining eight, milk from a medicine dropper. WEATHER TRICKS FIREMEN MARICOPA. Cal. Disgusted by chasing down one false alarm after an other on rainy nights, local firemen are overhauling Maricopa’s fire alarm sys tem. It was found that when the wires were dampened by rain, the system short circuited repeatedly, setting off the alarm in the fire house each time. EXPORTS. During the first three months of this year, Latin-America continued to rank second to Europe as the largest market for American exports. Extension of for eign armaments and increased industrial activity caused manufactured products to account ufor three-fifths of our foreign sales. It is worth noting that exports of household refrigerators, radio apparatus, aircraft and industrial machinery exceed the year 1929, while exports of rubber and textile manufactures and automobiles are below the volume for that. year. Iron and steel scrap exports have been greatly increased. Agricultural exports continue to decline, amounting to less than a fourth of the value of all exports. STATE, COUNTY AND • LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

Alvin (“Runt”) Hise, whf> was riding with young Fowler, escaped death by burning by jumping or being thrown out of the car through a door which came open as the automobile overturned. He received a severe leg injury and was rushed to the Trion hospital, where, it is reported, he is improving and. barring complications, is expected to -recover. The two young men, both popular mem bers of Summerville’s younger set. were believed to be returning from a brief trip to Rome. It is reported that parties liv ing near the scene of the accident heard a tire l>lp"~ out, and noticed the car ca rein and dash across the road into the gasoline pump in front of P. A. Morgan's store. When the vehicle struck the pump it made a long leap and turned over, flames immediate! enveloping the wreck.
