THE AGRICULTURAL SITUA
TION is helping general business.
Now that practically all the crops
are harvested the farm balance
sheets show us that in the east the
fruit produqers are in fair spirits.
Potato growers have large yields
but poor prices. Milk producers are
Under the pressure of high grain
prices. Their feeling is generally
one of discouragement. In the south
the cotton crop has been good.
'Diversified farming has helped pay
expenses. In ' many sections past
debts are being paid and there is
, optimism. In the corn belt favor
able weather has helped mature and
season the corn, but with some frost
damage. Growers seem more anxi
ous to seel corn than to feed cattle.
On the whole there seems to be a
better feeling than last fall. In the
wheat belt the winter wheat is
seeded with a slightly increased
acreage reported over last season,
and with generally good stands.
Many farnjers are holding grain
anticipating even better prices. The
general condition of the territory is
greatly improved. In the range
country there is rather a 'heavy
market movement of both sheep and
.cattle. October beef prices, how
ever. were below the Optober 1923
prices, and the cattle raisers are
much discouraged. However, the
sheep raisers are optimistic. In the
Pacific coast the citrus fruit is de
veloping well, also the smaller fruit
crops. The general situation here
Is very favorable.
The farmer has come back!
BUSINESS FAILURES, accord
ing to Bradstreet's, number 322 for
the week ending November 6th.
This compares with 364 the previ
ous week and 383 a year ago. This
is a decided improvement after the
showing of the first ten months of
the year, when there were 16,325
failures compared to 15,648 failures
for the same period last year. An
other indication that we are headed
into a period of better business.
THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY in
New- England is expecting a sharp
increase in activity during the next
six months. Cheaper raw cotton, a
reduction of wages, and an in
creased demand in the middle west,
are the contributing factors pointed
out by the most helpful.
A NEW TEXTILE has entered
the market. Italy is now producing
an artificial silk of rather coarse
texture, which sells as yarn at 50c
a pound. It is made from wi*od
pulp, but being of coarser quality
and lower cost it sells not as a silk
substitute, but directly in competi
tion with cotton and wool. English
textile centers are considerably
worried, and an agitation is under
way to subsidize British mills as a
protection against this new com
petition. It is sort of comforting
to know that a practical and inex
pensive fabric can be made out of
wood pulp, at that.
THE ZR-3 AND THE SHENAN
DOAH have made many Americans
swell with pride over our posses
sion of two such giant aircraft.
In the practical use of such ships
and planes we fare far behind other
countries, our only boast being the
coast to coast air mail service.
Many foreign cities now enjoy reg
ular passenger air service, the most
popular of which is between Paris
and London. Arrangements are
now being made for an air and
steamer mail service between Paris
and Buenos Aires. Mails W'ill leave
daily and will Be delivered in South
America seven days later instead of
twenty as at present. Another
plan will connect Moscow and
Paris by direct air passenger serv
ice. Bi-weekly trips will cover the
1500 miles in nineteen hours, a gain
on the present railroad time of
nearly five days. We have conf
plaicently allowed other nations to
lead us in ocean transportation.
Are we to adopt the same policy
in the air?
TROLLEY FREIGHT is begin
ning to come into its own. Elec
tric roads in the middle west report
great success in tha transportation
of perishable gooifs and livestock.
For the intermediate haul and
wherever rapid transportation and
deliveries are yital the electric rail
way can provide a service which is
not duplicated by either stearn rail
roads or the motor truck, neither
in the cost of operation nor in the
service rendered. It will not be at
all surprising if certain of the elec
tric roads prove to be more profit
able as freight handlers than they
ever have been as conveyers of
passengers.
RADIO responsible for the most
sensational business development in
rgf’ent years, now promises a new
sensation. An entirely new type of
loud speaker affords almost perfect
reproduction of sound and should
satisfy the most critical. This
greatly broadens the radio market
and suggests additional interesting
development in talking motion pic
tures. The business world will
benefit by this activity, fortunes
will be made, and the unscrupulous
stock promoter, already deserting
the oil' well, will use the opportun
ity to unload a few more bales of
beautifully engraved certificates on
an unsuspecting public.
THREE LOSE LIVES
In Fire at Perrysburg, Ohio,
Wednesday
TOLEDO, O.—A father, mother
fcnd their ten months old daughter

Storm Threatens at Georgia Baptist Meet
Differences on

Hold Attention
at Conference
COLUMBUsTGa. —With
an underlying current of
expectancy following the
breaking of the feared
storm between the literal
and liberal orthodox fac
tions at the close of the
opening session late Tues
day afternoon, still in evi
dence although not out
wardly, the second day of
the Georgia Baptist conven
tion got under way Wed
nesday! morning.
epe6t storm to
BREAK OUT ANEW
There was no indication early
Wednesday as to when the storm
W'ould break out anew, -dt is be
lieved by those intimately connect
ed with the workings of the con
vention that it would come when
the committee appointed to propose
principles for Baptist institutions
reports. No time is set for the
committee to make known its find
insg but it will be before the meet
ing ends.
Following the stirring address of
Dr. J. D. Mell, for many years
president of the convention, in
which he appealed for a plan of
Baptist salvation “and setting a
mark and making everyone who
comes into our fold or elected or
employed by the convention toe it,”
Dr. J. C. McConnell of Atlanta, took,
the floor. Dr. McConnell lined up
with Dr. Mell and it appeared that
the former had the plan in his
pocket.
Immediately following Dr. Mc-
Connell, Dr. M. Ashby Jones, of
Atlanta, one of the leading minis
ters in the state, took the floor
and announced that wanted to go
on record immediately that he was
opposed to any and all creeds for
the Baptist faith, as from time im
memorial the Baptists had not had
a creed and that he desired to an
nounce his independence and faith
in the spirit and genius of the de
nomination’s history.
The two contentions W'liich
threaten to take the center of the
stage in the convention, are, on
one hand, that no man or body of
men possesses the right to make
; another man’s creed and on the
I other hand, that there is no at
' tempt to make a creed. Both sides
| emphatically declare that they are
| opposed to a creedal church, at
I the same time there is an inclina
-1 tion favoring laying down the lines
! for the professiqn and ministry to
; follow.
A resolution was afterwards
I adopted appointing a committee,
i composed of eleven, to formulate
; and bring back to the convention
I for its consideration and action a
1* set of principles that agents and
servants of the convention must
i subscribe to and be governed by,
in its educational institutions and
J elsewhere.
I The following is the committee:
W. W. Harris, Thomasville,
chairman: D. W. Key, Washing
ton; E. J. Forrester, Sparta: J. E.
Sammons, Rome; L. A. Henderson,

The First Mention of
Public Baths is Made
In The Bible
The bath of the prehistoric
people was practiced for Its
cleansing effect and for the
Joy derived from It. Bathing
was a part of the religious ser
vices of the ancient Egyptians.
When water was not to be had,
bran was used for Ceremonial
cleansing. The modern Arabs,
when they cannot obtain water,
ruh themselves clean with sand.
The earliest forms of bathing
did not know the convenience
nt the modern bath tub. Men
tion is first made of such a con
venience when it is stated In
the Bible that pools were cov
ered with porticoes. This in
vention was very simple when
compared with the modern
methods of bathing. Rome be
gan to build public baths short
ly after Claudius. Buildings
were soon erected which con
tained public baths, libraries
and rest rooms.
The Turkish hath was intro
duced In the 17th century. In
1648, to satisfy the insistent de
mand of the people. Want Ads
came Into existence. Herald
Want Ads came into existence
In 1893. and since’ then they
have been a public benefactor.
Recognized as such, they are
read every day. Innumerable
bargains, from wall paper to
thousands of acres of land are
offered In the Want Ad Sec
tion. We want you to read the
Want Ads, for your own good.

TIMBER EXHAUSTION
IS FACING COUNTRY,
PRESIDENT DECLARES
WASHINGTON— President Cool
idge Wednesday asked for a speci
fic program of timber saving In
opening the national conference on
utilization of forest products.
The nation faces timber exhaus
tion, the president warned, and the
situation must lie met. he insisted,
by diminishing waste and increas
ing the supply.
The resources of the nation area
trust, Mr. Coolidge declared, sub
ject to use by the present genera
tion, administered free of monopo
lies and from those "who will un
wisely permit them to be dissi
pated" but there bo restoration as
well as use. \
About 745,000,000,000 cubic fift or
timber is left in this country, he
pointed out and against this sup
ply there is an atinual drain of 20
billion cubic feet whilo the annual
timber growth is ony six billion
feet. In the face of this situation,
he declared, the nation must turn
to the problem of growing wood
from the soil like any other crop.
The president, saw “hopeful
signs," in federal legislation as en
acted In the Clarkd-MoNary bill
passed at the last session of con
gress, making provision for fire
protection and restoration and In
the Weeks law authorizing govern
ment purchase of numerous forest
tracts. These must be supported,
he declared, by a policy which will
“in the hands of provate Individ
uals and public officers tending to
