ALL THE WAY FROM alaska
Seven Thousand Miles, Comes a Col
Ony to Settle in Ware County, In
Southern Georgia

Waycross, Ga, Feb. 27.-Ware scoun-
ty is going to get within the next three
months the first colony OF any size
that has ever left Alaska for warni-
er Cline Contracts for a number of
farms and farm sites have just been
closed by representatives OF a num-
Der OF Alaskans and they are now get
ting ready to move to Ware. H. NJ
Badger and E. T. Matthews, two pro-
spectors sent here from Alaska, have
reported favorab1y on Ware farms and
this brought the deal to an end.
The colony will travel 1000 miles
from a country where the weather is
frequently as cold as 72 degrees below
zero to country where farmers work
the entire year and where weather as
cold as 20 degrees above zero is rar-
ity. The colony will be eight miles
south and southwest of Waycross.
Nearly all who have purchased have
set aside from five to twenty acres for
pecan orchards and have ordered trees.
While in Waycross Mr.. Badger talk
ed Interestingly of Alaska and condi-
tions in his home town. He said that
he had spent twelve years in Alaska
and was ready now to settle down for
the balance OF his life.-
I'VE are some distance from this
country" said he, "but by means OF a
cable We get news of the world every
day, having a number of daily news
papers in Alaska. The difference in
our papers and those OF the United
States is that we pay 25 cents a copy.
But then when you find that we also
pay as high as $3.50 for a dozen fresh
eggs, and as much for a hen, you
won't be surprised. Living is high in
Alaska, but wages and salaries are
likewise high. Telephones cost $50 a
month, with a sli,sh reduction on party
lines for residence service For cleo
trio lights we have to pay So month

treason that there is nothing for sale
there for less than a quarter. To off
set the high cost of living you find or

SOUTHERN WHITE SLAVES
Ill Fed and Ill Clad Men, Women and
Children who Work In Our
Cotton Factories

Washington, Feb. 27.-A dismal pic
ture Of life among Southern cotton
mill workers is painted in a report
just issued by the federal bureau OF
labor With scanty food and poor
clothing, according to the report, these
people exist in crowded company own
nored by the other residents. It Is de-
clared that while the whole family,
men, women and children, work for a
living, the table of the average house
hold offers in quality and quantity
about what the government gives in
mates Of the federal prison at Atlanta.
= The bureau selected as examples
twenty-one typical cotton mill famil-
les, ten living in or near Atlanta, six
just outside of Greensboro, N. c., and
five at Burlington, N. c. More than a
hundred families were studied, how
ever, and of the minimum standard OF
living found the report says:
'It is so low that one would expect
few families to live on it." The So
called normal family. father with wife
and children depending on his support,
was not found among the twenty-one
families described as typical Even
the poorest of these was supported by
the earnings of several and in many
cases boarders were taken. The
average wage earners per family was
3.6. In a family where five were en-
pIoyed the earnings total1ed between
$500 and $500 year.
Pork, syrup, corn bread and coffee
constitute the diet of the average fam
lily, the bureau says. Only the most
meager sums are spent for clothing by
men, women or children and the
mothers dress largely in cast off gar
ments of their daughters. And, the
report continued, most of the families
usually end the year slightly in debt.
