ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. ga Sunday

will be shown twice, though the ex-
hibit runs nearly all day is the unique
stunt offered by the Atlanta temple of
Shriners next Sunday at local thea
tiers. The motion picture bureaus here
will furnish practically unlimited
supply of films and when one is run

SLATON WOULD SAVE
STATE BIC EXPENSE
Especial to Times-Recorder)

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. Ex-Governor
John M. Slaton is anxious to find
some means to lessen the number OF
short-term convicts being sent to the
state prison farm at a great expense
to the state, and probably the law will
be changed to obviate this condition.
Many prisoners sent up for only two
months are going to the farm at Mil
ledgeville, where, at this season, es-
pecially, there is little for them to do.
There are now 500 prisoners at the
farm, whereas there were a few years
ago only about 300. A guard must be
sent with every prisoner and the state
must pay railroad fares and other
expenses. The governor believes that
such prisoners should go direct to the
road gangs and part of the ex-
pense be saved, but change in the
law will be necessary before this can
be done.

Switzerland Interested
In American Commerce
(By Associated Press.)

BERNE, Switzerland, Jan. a.
Switzerland is awaiting with greatest
interest the results of the American
efforts for the protection of neutral
trade, and the newspapers express the
hope that the negotiations between
Washington and London will at least
produce. clearness and uniformity.
The Federal authorities are having
increased difficulty in provisioning
Switzerland Thousands of tons of
supplies are accommodating in Italian
ports, chiefly Genoa, but dealers are
almost unable TO get them through 20
this country, although the government
has given the Allied Powers every as
surance that it will not allow the re
expectation of any contraband to
Germany or Austria.
It is now pre- oosed to consign al
importatiCns direct to the Federal
Government, which, as a matter Of
fact, is the greatest buyers of food
supplies in Switzerland at present.

COMES UPON VISIT TO
OLD HOME IN WEBSTER
KING STILLMAN A VISITOR IN
AMERICUS TODAY.

Mr.. King Stillman came down from
Atlanta this morning to join Mrs.
Stillman, who has been with friends
at Plains since the loss of their coun-
try home near Preston by fire recently.
The handsome property, formerly the
W. P. lowers place, had only recently
been sold, and the dwelling was burn
ed before transfer of title had been
made, Mr. Stillman states. There was
insurance of $4,000 upon the property,
while the loss, he says, was very near
thrice that amount.
