Madison, Ga., Jan. 19—Mr. L.
B. Ponder, state supervisor of
the Emergency Crop and Feed
Loan Office, has been notified by
the regional manager, Mr R. H.
McElveen, by telephone that
applications and related papers
would be shipped to the field
supervisors of the Emergency
Crop and Feed Loan Section of
the Farm Credit Administration
early next week. Receiving
agents will immediately begin
taking applications in the usual
manner. No delay will be oc
casioned in handling loans since
congress has now provided a
revolving fund and it is not
necessary to make yearly ap
propriations.
In 1940 13,950 farmers in
Georgia obtained $1,623,890.00
and have repaid, as of January
15, 1941, $1,513,195.52 'or 93 30
percent of the money loaned, and
the prospects of a much higher
percent is most favorable.
These loins will be made, as in
the past, only to farmers whose
cash requirements are small and
who cannot obtained a loan from
any other source.
As in former years, the money
loaned will be limited to the ap
plicant’s necessary cash needs in
preparing and cultivating his 1941
crops or in purchasing or pro
ducing ieed for his livestock.
Borrowers who obtain loans
for the production of cash crops
are required to give as security
a first lien on the crop financed
or, in the case of loans for the
purchase of production of feed
for livestock, a first lieon on the
stock to be fed.
NOTE: As soon as the appli
cation blanks arrive here, ap
plications will be taken at the
ordinary’s office, at the court
house by Ordinary D. N. Achord,
from 9 o’clock a, m until 4:30 in
the afternoon.
PROGRESS OF ALAMO
SCHOOL LUNCH ROOM
We are happy to announce
that our lunch room is on the
increase, and is serving on an
average 5,340 students each
month. It takes $71.00 approxi
mately each month besides free
commodities.
Mrs Jennie Hartley is super
intendent of the kitchen and has
four very efficient helpers. We
are planning on moving the
lunch room the first of February
from the high school building to
the grammar school building,
where it will be more convenient
for all-
The warm lunches served
students each school day is filling
iis place in the advancement of
efficient work in the school, as
the pupils really enjoy the nice
lunches served at the noon hour.
This is really to be appreciated
by everyone.
We hope that this good work
will continue,
—Reporter.

Two Georgia Senators
Praised By Talmadgd
Washington—Senators George
and Russell, of Georgia were
discribed Sunday by Governor
Eugene Talmadge, who has been
defeated for the senate by both
of them, as “the two best sena
tors in the United States.”
He made this remark at a
luncheon given by Georgia
members of congress. Senator
George had spoken the delega
tion’s welcome to Talmadge, his
official family, and other presi
dential inauguration visitors
from Georgia.
“I tried to beat one of them,”
Talmadge said, “and the Presi
dent and I both tried to beat the
other. We couldn’t do it.”
He referred to his 1936 cam
paign against Russell and his
1938 race against George. In
the latter, President Roosevelt
favored a third candidate, Law
rence Camp.
The gathering seemed to bear
out reports of a new found har
mony among Georgia’s Demo
cratic chieftains and between
he state and national admini
strations.

REPLIES TO RECENT
COUNTYS AUDIT
Editor Eagle:
In your January 10th issue
there appeared a statement of
recipts and disbursements of
Wheeler County covering al4
month period —November Ist,
1939 to January Ist, 1941. also.
Accounts payable $313.25
Outstanding warrents 1512.90.
Total payable $1826.T5.
Cash on hand $4362.86.
This was stated to be a con
densed statement of the financial
condition of Wheeler County as
of January 1, 1941. The state
ment is inaccurate, in that it
fails to show assets as follows:
Balance due county by former
tax collector, C. L. Galbraith,
not paid to treasurer at time of
statement, $3,431.63.
Amount due county by State
Highway Department for work
performed on road contracts,
$3819.00.
Total $7250.63.
As detailed report of all work
performed on contract had not
been received on January Ist,
the amount due by State High
way Department is an estimate
however, from information ob
tained, the amount stated is ap
proximately correct. I presume
the amount shown due by Mr.
Galbraith has been paid to treas
urer as, on January Ist, he was
ready to pay some upon qualifi
cation of the treasurer. So in
stead of a net balance of $2536.71
as reported there was actually
$5968.34 on hand and $3819.00
due from the State for work
performed and which no doubt
will soon be received. These
amounts total $9787.34 above
all indebtedness.
Montgomery county disposed
of its last Highway Certificate
three years ago and is now in
debt approximatly thirty five
thousand dollars and no cash in
the treasury. Very few counties
in the State are in as good con
ditions as Wheeler.
With proper administration of
county affairs during 1941 the
budget may be balanced without
any drastic reduction in services
rendered or any great increase
in local taxation.

US PEOPLE
By G. C. Barnhill
We are all fixed up now as to
politics for some time, the newly
elected President has taken his
place, the Governor, members of
Congress, state legislators,
county officers, and the justice of
the peace, and all other officers
after a fight for the places, have
accepted the great responsibility
of operating in the official way,
our form of government. So it
looks like we are to have a rest
this year from going to the po l1 *.
The Georgia Legislature will
give us something to think, and
talk about. Would’nt it be a
sight, think that they are going
to get along without any new
money, if they would do the
work that is needed to be done
and come on home in thirty days,
