Endurance Contest in Atlanta
is Interesting

Americas autoists are interested in
endurance contests recently pulled of
in atlanta, among them the climbing
.of Baker street hill, which seems the
browning triumph of cars making the
pull on high gear. But an Atlanta car
took the blue ribbon recently in pull
ing the hill
1t was stated at that time that there
was no record of any other car hav-
ing accomplished this feat and that in
the opinion of good authorities there
was not another that could.
In the meantime it has developed
that there is another car entitled to
share the credit of successfully per
forming this test.
Recently R. V. Connerat, manager
of the Buick Co., drove two Buick
models mp this hill under the condi-
tions mentioned.
The Baker street hill at this point is
the steepest grade in Atlanta and the
climbing of it under these conditions
is said to be one of the most drastic
tests of the hill-climbing ability of a
car that it could be reasonably sub
jected to.
The Bucks gearing on this occd-
sion was the regularstock proportion

the driver one passenger.

Georgia, where good roads really eX-
list now and not where they may be
at some future time if promises and
resolutions by commissioners of sew
eral counties should materialize. The
trouble is that most counties elect
their commissioners and an election
may bring in commissioners of differ
ent views and then what good would
the resolutions be?
Enough for the JOurnalIHerald
highway. What we must do is to get
the counties in this section together
and put our roads in hes possible
shape and call it the good roads high
way. offering the tourist excellent
roads, splendid hotel accommodations,
points of historical interest and pref
ty scenery through this farming sec
ton that will prove inviting to tour
lists and open their eyes to advant-
ages and opportunities they never
dreamed of. ..
Advertise our highway at the no.
tells and garages in Atlanta and Ma
con and place a big sign board giving
its advantages at the junction point
between Macon and Perry. If we do
this, l don't think the Journal-Her-
aid highway will bother us to any
extent. AT any rate it won't be
highway through counties that come
to US and say they have no good roads
and want us to tell them how to build
them"

STATE WOULD BE LOSER
IN LEASE OF MANSION
Price Offered Too Small for
Investment

Atlanta, Ga, April 17.-There is a
positive belief that the legislature will
turn down the proposal looking TO
the disposition of the executive man
sion property on Peachtree street,
which was approved by the legislative
committee and will be reported favor
ably to the general assembly at its
coming session.
IA 99-year lease with steady in
come is mighty good thing, provid-
ed the income is big enough. But III
this instance, it is recalled, the lessee
proposes to take the property free IF
all taxes, through which the state
loses $4,000 a year for SO years.
To recapitulate the proposal, B. NJ.
Grant & Co., representing some per-
son unknown, agree to pay the state
an annual rental of $12,5O0 the first
five years, $4,000 for the ten years
following, $4,000 for the next ten
years, and $4,000 for the remaining
portion of the 99-year term.
Putting the present value of the
property at 1851 900, the highest cash
price offered, the committee proposes
that the state shall accept for the
property "a per cent. rental for the
first five years; 4.25 per cent. the next
ten years; 81 per cent. the next ten
years, and 60 per. cent. thereafter,
without taxes.
These percentages are all based on
the present value of the property and
not upon such increases as it may
take on from time to time
Considering that the tract, 140 by
400 on central corner, is the most
valuable property in the city today,
and considering, too that several
99-year leases have been made at bet
ter prices, location and size of prop
erty considered, this looks like a very
small rental for the state to get out
of the property.
That there is big money in it for
the man who gets the lease at this
price there is no question

occurred.
Gerbrick told Warden lyman that he
was in Michigan at the time and that he
could prove good alibi. After listening
to his story Warden lyman advised the
officials Of the Santa Fe road Of his find
ing and they in turn appointed O'Leary to
make a thorough investigation of the case.
O'Lesry went to Michigan to the home of
relatives to gather facts concerning the
statement of the prisoner. He learned
there that Gerbriek had not been in
Colorado until eighteen months after the
wreck.
Upon O'Leary's return to Colorado
two weeks ago he set about securing the
release Of the prisoner. He called upon
Judge Rizsr and stated the facts as he
had found them. and meeting was held
by the Judge wieh resulted in the appli-
cation for . pardon.
1t is very likely that Gerbriek will be
released from the psnitsntiary and that
he will be re-arrested on charge of de-
ssrtion from the navy.

THE OPTIMIST
His Value to q Commercial
Organization

The optimist is the ideal CONNER
cial club member-the man who looks
on the bright side and can see the
good in his home town and country.
II a crowd of five hundred optimists
can be gathered together they will
work wonders. The optimism OF one
man acts, as a stimulant for the 9TH
ers, and the entire aggregation will
accomplish many things that would
be impossible il each man went 1t it
single handed. The commercial club
OF a town is but the composite Optim-
ism of its progressive citizens boiled
down. and then sent out in tabloid
form all over the country to be plant
ed in fertile soil that will bring back
results in the shape of new people.
new blood and new energy.
To anyone familiar with the aims,
objects and purposes OF a commercial
club. it seems strange that any citi-
zen of Il town should voluntarily re-
main outside the fold. The CONNER
cial Aub is the one organization that
dement's every resident of town, be
he m0onaire or bcggar.
The treat object of the commercial
club is to build up the town. Growth
expansion, increase in wealth-thcse
are the things for which the club is
striving. Those who have observed
the work of commercial clubs closely
realize that they have been the
strongest factors in acquainting the
people of the East with the wonderful
resources of the western country. and
the result has been that the growth oi
western towns has been little short oi
marvellous.
Occasionally we hear some one say
"Why should ] belong to the Com.

If that man will stop and think foI
a minute he will be ashamed OF him.

AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN
Furnished by the Ameriau Beet
Sugar Co.

During the past week local showers
occurred which have been very beneficial
to beet seed planted. especially that
on winter irrigated land. Undoubtedly
further rainfall will follow. As a rule
these local showers fall during a short
period Of time with considerable force.
followed by sunshine and wind. which
causes the surface Of the field to crust
considerably.
In order to secure good stand of beets.
it is necessary to assist the tender plants
as much as possible in coming through
the surface. This is best accomplished
by cross narrowing. either by use Of an
ordinary steel harrow or a home made
spike harrow; in either case the teeth Of
the tool should slant backward about so
degrees horizontally. depending upon the
hardness Of the crust. In every case it
is most advisable to do this work in the
fore part Of the day while the crust is
slightly softened by the rising moisture
during the night. Either tool used should
be Tapped in the process SO that the crust
is thoroughly broken up. as otherwise it
will remain in formation wherever the
tooth Of the tool misses. The proper
time to start breaking the crust is when
the beet seed has germinated fully and
the root sprouts have established them
selves and the leaf sprouts have started
upward.

ANTI-PEST LAW

Governor Shafroth is needed to make q

ture. providing for systematic cam.
paign Of destruction against grasshoppers
and other pests that menace the crops
Men who have been promoting the bill.
who have forced its passage through the
present do-nothing general assembly. de-
clare that Governor Shafroth has been in
favor Of the bill from the start. They
are confident that he will give It his sig
nature within the near future.
It Is pointed out that corporation ID
the only means by which such rests N
Rrasshoppsrs can be sradieatsd. One
man. no matter how zealously he may
work upon his own farm. is powsrless to
accomplish any permanent good unless
his neighbors are working at the same
time. Just as one lawn infested with
dandslions may cause tho ruin Of all the
other lawns in town. so one farm on
which gras;hoppers are PERMITTED tc
work unmoisstsd make It impossible for
neighboring farmers to preserve their
own crops.
The Casady- Teller bill provides thai
any area not larger than Sc square miles

Of the owners Of more than half Of the
land in the district. The owner Of one
farm can form district which shall in

only that his land is more than half oi
