IMPERIAL POTENTATE AND OTHER SHR|NERS
 IN VISIT ID SKAGNAY

There were 5,2S5 official dele gates attended the Shriners' coun- cil held in Seattle last week and there were probably 5O,OOO more including their wives, who went along with the delegates to see that they behaved themselves and upheld the dignity of the greatest fraterual gathering that ever as sembled in the Spirit City.
 It costs something to become a Shrintr. It can be done for some thing like $4OO, if one is inclined that way, but one usually isn't.
 It usually costs about ten times that amount, in one way or anoth- CT. One must be a 32nd-degree Ma son before he is eligible to the Shrine-didja know that? And by the time a man reaches the 92nd degree he's usually cut his eye teeth about being a tightwad and finds delight in spending I penny now and then.
 So, it costs money.
 It's reasonable to presume that the average wealth of a Shriner is so, 900, though some of 'em are worth considerably less, and some astonishingly more. There were two or three millionaires amongst those fellows who were seen pack ing around tin spears and things in Seattle-if that makes any diff ference to you.
 So, it doesn't take a wizard in mathematics to figure that the big, omnl-Shriner is a pretty wealthy guy, that is, if you'd call $52,S50,- 900 any money.
 After the adjournment there was a bunch of Shriners, including the newly elected Imperial Potentate, J.. Putnam Stevens of Portland, Maine, Past Imperial POtentate Lou B. Winsor (93d degree) of Reed City, Michigan, newly elected Imperial Treasurer w. s. Brown of Pitts burgh, Penn, w. Owen Candy, of o. Candy & Co.,, bankers, Fort Wayne, Ind, and H. E. McLain, of Pittsburgh, Penn, and about twenty others, who made up their minds they would visit Alas ka, and when that conclusion was reached the act was as good as ac- complished.

600 to 100000 have been dis

The Dixie Highway proved the
match to light the flame and start
the fire of enthusiasm for good roads
building. The rivalry caused by
this has resulted in showing the
need of more and better connecting
roads. The desire for roads was
proven when more than five hundred

mand the attention of the States
through which this highway will
pass, from Florida to Michigan, at
the meeting in Chattanooga; when
ILLINOIS, lniana, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Georgia spoke of good road bond
issues, ranging from $4,000 to
$25O,000, and Florida men, speaking

Good connecting roads mean more
and better business relationships,
better feeling and higher values.
What else means more to the de-
velopment of this State?
A good roads meeting is to be held
in Lakeland on the 18th of Septemb-
er, and no doubt there will be a
larger attendance than at the meet
ing in Orlando, on account of the
agitation at this time in Polk coun-
ty for 100000 worth of good
roads, covering 800 miles, and on
account of the discussion that will
come up concerning the following
highways, proposed for the State of
Florida: The Dixie Highway, the

U. 5. Government To

Help Fight Weevil

Atlanta, Dec. Through the
efforts of United States Sena' or
Hoke Smith, federal appropria-
ton of $4,000 will be added to
the amount passed by the Georgia
legislature, to aid in fighting the
boil weevll in this state.
Senator Smith explained to Gov.
Harris the situation in Washington
ard the possibilities of obtaining
help from the national government
while the special session was still
S ting, and the telegram from
Senator Smith with promises of
federal aid was largely responsible
for assuring the passage Of the
state appropriation.
BY this arrangement the nation.
al government will cooperate with
Georgia with its organized forces
and its years of experience in
fighting the cotton boil weevIl.

New Law Will Be
Risidly Enforced

Atlanta, December 4. "A de-
termination to see to the rigid
enforcement of the new prohibit
ton law after May 1916 is ex-
pressed in the current issue Of
the Commonwealth, the official
organ of the Georgia Anti Saloon
League, of which DR.. G. W.
Eichelberger, state superinten-
dent, is editor.
"The new law prohibits solicit.
ing liquor orders by any form of
means. A letter written or a
circular sent by a Jacksonville or
Chattanooga dealer to anybody
in Georgia soliciting orders for
LIQUOR dealer can be taken before
a Georgia grand jury and the
foreign dealer indicted. If he is
ever caught in this state, he can
be arrested and punished"
The article goes on to make
the point that the supreme court
has decided that letter written
and mailed performs the trans
action at the receiving end of
line, Therefore the soliciting by
mail is done where the letter is
received.

1.-The Way Opens up i
Atlanta

Atlanta, December, 4..-The
first issue of Marion Jackson's
new weekly newspaper ''The
Way, F" appeared on the streets
of Atlanta yesterday and had
a good sale.
1t was stated by the editor that
'"The Way" was not the official
organ of the Men and Religion
Foreward movement, as some
had enormously supposed. Al.
though it had similar aims, he
stated, and although some of the
same men were interested, the
two things each would stand on
their own separate footing.
THE Way" prints quite a bit
Iof interesting constructive news
and comment affairs in Georgia
and the world.
1t prints editorials from coun-
try weeklies criticing the Atlanta
dailies pretty sharply for not up
holding Beavers, but in common
ton theseseditorials The Way"
itself says, Atlanta owes much
of her greatness to her papers
and the stand which they have
taken in past years for civic
righteousness. " Their stand as
to Beavers is wholly incompre-
hensible-but eventually t h e
Journal and Constitution will
wake up. Their editors stand
for what they believe to be for
the good of the city. There is
hope for them"

Wav" is dipnifed.
