ATLANTA TRUST co. ES-
TABLISHES LOAN DEPT

Atlanta, Ga, December Is
That the average Georgia farm
will more than pay for itself the
first year, if properly cultivated,
is asserted by bankers and busi-
ness men who are making close
study of the subject in connec-
ton with the diversified crop
movement, movement of farm la
Dor into other states and various
questions affecting the general
conditions of the state and the
section.
While the average Georgia farm
can be purchased for $13.73 per
acre, such a farm will produce an
average Of $l5.98 per acre for its
owner, and this information is be-
ing brought forcefully to the at
tention of farmers in the north
and northwest, who not only pay
a higher price for their lands but
realize a smaller return per acre.
Among the agencies engaged
in the dissemination of this infor-
nation, the Atlanta Trust Com
pany, of this city, which is par
ticularly active, has recently es-
tablished a farm loan department
and is offering loans at 5 II per
cent interest. The company ia
vors the most up-to-date and pro-
gressive farmers and maintains
a legal department for abstracting
titles and performing other legal
work, thereby saving the borrow
er excessive fees.

ALWAYS IN THE WAY

(Thls poem was written by a
soldier regarding a comrade, who
was killed by an enemy's bullet
while i'll the discharge of his du-
ties. The Captain disliked the
soldier very much and compelled
the band to play as funeral
march YOU'RE Always in the
Way" The writer was tried by
courtmartial but cleared, while
the Captain was discharged from
the U. S. Service.)
We don't object to hiking
Through thousand miles Of sun
We ont object to charging
Up a mountain on the run.
We don't object to living
On a soldiers rations straight
We don't object to- dying
But to reach the golden gate
Of rag time funeral marches
When a band is made to play
1t does sound a little awkward
YOU'RE always in the way"
But we ask no favors from you
You may do the worst you can
For Congress can't make a gentle
man
Where God has failed on man.
You have stolen from a dead man
His last funeral right
You have even put daub of mud
On the flag for which we fight.
You have not disgraced your uni
form
But you have showed at least
How little man was in you
And how near you are to beast.
Yes, damn you, we'll salute you
And we'll say Eyes sir" too,
But we salute the shoulder bars,
We wouldn't speak to you.
You are farther down beneath us
Than dog niger owns
You are dirtier than buzzard
Picking flesh from a dead mans
bones.
I hope they will weed the service
soon
|Of all such men as you,
] give the service now
OF having very few.
For damn the man that wears
Shoulder bars
And has the band to play
At the funeral of soldier,
~ ou're Always in the Way"

ed letter yesterday from the
Sprague Publishing Company,

previous contests put on by the

many as two thousand entrants,

munition makers. from furniture
| makers. etc., az from automobile man
ufacturers.
Ono OF the big railroad freight traf.
fic managers stated that no one Is Ia
blame. because no one. either manu-
lacturer or railroad, has foreseen that
such a condition would arise. Had
tho roads been advised by the auto
mobile manufacturers that their pro-
duction would be doubled in 1918,
then they would not have hesitated
to take steps for additional automo-
bile equipment. Az II is the manu-
facturers. with q few exceptions, have
not and do not post the railroads,
says the Automobile.
Can Not Get New Cars.
Tho Michigan Central railroad or
dcred 4,500 special fOrty-foot automo.
bile freight cars in September. Up to
date only about o25 have been deliv-
cred The delay is owing to the short
age Of material.
The Packard and Chalmers compa-
nies say that there has been practic-
tically no Improvement in the freight
car situation. Each concern has had
to put on about seventy-five extra
men, who are used in making impro-
Nised boxes or wooden coverings, over
tho automobiles when the latter are
on the flat cars. Dodge Brothers say
they are short at least 40 per cent of
the number OF railroad cars they need
daily. The Hupp company can not get
enough flat cars. as these come In ir-
regularly. and in very small number.
Cadillac finds conditions somewhat
better as far as shipping west Is con-
cerned, but no improvement In the
east.
Paige-Detroit says the conditions
are Il little better. StudeDakcr has
found hardly any betterment. All of
these concerns had to put on extra
help either in making wooden hous-
ings on flat cars or to take care OF
other special work which, under nor
nal conditions. would not be ncces-
sary. which means a biz additional
expense in shipping. but they are
content 20 get whatever cars they can.
Opens Traffic School.
The Detroit board of commerce has
opened n special freight traffic school,
under the direction Of Traffic Com
missioner Arthur u. Waterfall. which
will continue to May %.
Traffic and operating officials from
the different railroads will, from time
to time, be present at the lessons and
will explain various different depart
ments
That the school Is expected to bring
about good results and that 1t Will be
well attended is the opinion of Mr..

Automobile Manufacturers
Say Shipping Conditions
Hampering Them.

With scarcely an exception Detroit
automobile manufacturers say tina,
the railroad freight car situation Is
no better today than II was Il month
ago. Several department officials as.
scrt that it is even worse, while a few
others say there has been a slight i'm.
provement.
All agree that the railroads are try
Ing their best to remedy the condi-
ti0ns but that the roads are practic-
ally powerless to overcome conditions
which they do not and can not con

many storms In the east this winter,

ing one. again tied up the whole sys-
tenn.
Tho second reason why there Is 80
little relief Is the fact that thousands
Of cars loaded with freight are tied up
In the east and can not be released.
This applies to almost all the roads to
New York and New England.
1t is not alone the automobile in
dustry which is greatly hampered in
tho moving or its products. The con-
dition is general in all industries. Tho
