PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER
WANT GEORGIA FARM LAND
Many Inquiries Are Received by the Central Railway The
Road Invites Kangaroos TO the State

The Central of Georgia Railway
has extended a formal invitation to a
kangaroo family now making their
habitat at Queensland, Australia, to
make their home in Georgia, and the
indications are that the invitation
will be accepted at an early date.
The kangaroos are the property of
James Mcdonald of Jones Hill, Ken
garoy, in the province of Queensland,
who is now negotiating with the agri-
cultural department of the Central
for the purchase of farm in this
state.
The Central is now doing more or
less immigration advertising in mag
azines that cover practically the en-
tire civilized world, and is in receipt
of letters from half the countries of
the globe asking about Georgia and
Alabama farms.
The letter from Australia was
mailed on June 8, or nearly three
months ago. The censor did not
open it as he did the letters received
by the Central from Germany and
England.

TO DANCE OR NOT TO

Announcement of a "Red Cross
Dance" Started Controversy.

Announcement of a "Red Cross
Dance" Started a Controversy.
The current issue of our neighbor,
the Cuthbert Leader, contains the fol-
lowing interesting item:
''The circulation of dodgers ad-
vertising the fact that a Red Cross
dance would be given in Cuthbert to-
morrow (Friday) night aroused
some opposition on the part of minis
ters and some of their members.
These, as Red Cross members, pro-
tested in petition against the use
of the name of the Red Cross in con-
nection with the dance. They claim
that the Cuthbert Red Cross chapter
as body has not sponsored this
dance, and they are unwilling that
the report to this effect should go
out. 1t would seem hardly proper,
they say, for preachers and some of
their flock to seem to be promoting
a dance for any cause"

The margin between the Az per

ASK WHERE MONEY

$500, 900, 900 A MONTH.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Threats of
some republican members of the
house to oppose further appropria-
lions for allied loans unless they
were enlightened regarding details
of the transfers of moneys already
authorized, caused their leaders on
the ways and means committee to
question Secretary McAdoo on this
point today for more than three
hours behind closed committee room
doors.
Efforts were being made tonight by
some of the committeeman to induce
Democratic Leader Kitchin to call
others before the committee to test;-
fly regarding the transfers of the
moneys.
The secretary touched on the certj-
ficate and bond bill, his outstanding
statement being that it is absolutely
necessary that the $4,OOO,OOO,0 600
worth of bonds in the bill to finance
another allied loan be voted as quick
ly as possible. Approximately $780,
100000 monthly is needed from this
country to carry the allies campaign
to July 1, 1918, he said.
The secretary's bond taxation
plan, which contemplates levying SUI
per-taxes and war profits and excess
profits taxes on the $7,538,945, $40
worth of bonds proposed in the bill,
was subjected to hot fire.
Some members proposed that half
of the issue should be made A per
cent, subject to taxation, and the
other half should be non-taxable ~
per cents. Opposition also developed
to the plan for authorizing Secretary
McAdoo to fix the life of the bonds
and the interest rate on the propos-
ed new $2,000,000,000 war certifi-
cate issue.
