ANOTHER GOLF PRODIGY
DEVELOPED IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ga, April 18.-Another
goly prodigy has been developed in
Atlanta. Willis Jones, aged eleven
years, has played the East Lake course
a number of times in so, and any man
who has been around it knows that so
on East Lake is going some" The
course is probably the most difficult in
the south, having been especially con-
structed for fast, hard play, and a
score of 80 by an eleven-year-old boy
is a sign that Stuart Haiden has an
other trump card up his sleeve. This
close-mouthed Scot, who trained Miss
Alexa Stripping, the Atlanta girl win
ner of the national woman's champion
ship, and who trained Little Bob"
Jones, the 14-year old Atlanta boy who
created a sensation in the National
Amateur Championship in Philadelphia
last summer, is fast acquiring ma
tional reputation as one of the great
golf instructors of the country.

Trade Territory of Americas

or anv other service to the nation. 1t

late, but there is plenty of time for
planting even yet. 1t will be noted
that President Wilson's appeal espec-

Georgia, and means that she must.
first of all feed herself, and then have
some to spare for the army.
No nation is any stronger in peace
or war than its food supply. Shall
Georgia be a weakness to the nation in
this crisis? Why not the business in
terests of Americas call the Chamber
of Commerce and Mr.. Boyett, the
County Agent, Immediately to put on a
similar campaign for the trade terri
tory of Americas. 1t is imperative.
The people are not aroused as to the
necessity. 1t is our patriotic duty to
better ourselves. Sumter county and
Americas trade territory possess the
possibilities and the people have the
willingness, but it remains for the
leaders to create the machinery for
immediate action as well as for future
safety. Then do not forget the meet

little patch than he will IN a common
ownership of garden. His pride will
be excited and he will want to do his
best. Since the area must, of course,
be limited the school gardens must
eliminate the broad leaved, tall climb
ing plants. Beans, beets, lettuce,
radishes. and even tomatoes can be
recommended.
Make the rows run the short way of
the garden and be a foot apart with
the exception of the rows of tomatoes,
which should be 20 inches apart. A
rotation of crops, in order to get the
most out of the area, just as was
outlined in the Examiner yesterday,
should be planned. Quick maturing
crops should be planted in groups thus
providing as much area as possible
when it comes time for replanting.
All work should be done by the Pu-
pills as well as planting the seed and
caring for the plants The teacher can
explain the reason for each step. This
entire dependence upon the pupil will
be to his best interest and if success
comes it will all be his.
Here are suggestions for the school
gardens:
Lettuce should be sown in drills in
the open or in boxes in the windows. If

tered about half an inch apart along
the row. Cover with not more tain
one-half inch of earth. The earth
should be made firm over them. When
the plants are well up, thin to six
inches apart If wondow box, trans
plant young plants to stand two inches
apart each way. When they begin to
crowd, transfer them.
Radishes should be sown half an
inch apart and not deeper than one
inch. vet not less than half an inche,
in rich, well-prepared soil. When
sowing the second set of true leaves
should be thinned from one to two
inches apart in the row.
Beans should be planted in the open
for the best results. Delay their plant
ing until sure the last frost has pass
ed. Plant in rows one foot apart and
place the seeds two inches deep at in
tervals of six inches. The soil must be
kept loose and free from weeds.
Beets require a longer season for
maturing than beans, radishes or let
tuce, but they can be planted at the
same time as radishes and lettuce. The
seeds should be placed in rows one
foot apart, an inch apart in the roy,
and covered one inch deep. When two
inches high. thin to four inches apart
in the row. Keep the soil we'll titled.

sary to finance the production and
bring the plant TO Alma
The business interest OF the city
and the owners of the various sub
divisions are happily anticipating fu-
ture profits and meeting the situation
promptly as the canvass is to be
completed this week.
The contract for the factory build
ing is to be made at once. 1t is
the intention Of the company to ship
its machinery TO Alma September
lst, and to start production sn a
large way by October lst. The fac
tory will have 10000 square feet of
floor space at the start and the prob
abilities are that this will be great
~ increased within a year
For various reasons it is not wise
to mention the name Of this corpora
tion or the city from which it is
coming, at the present time. This in
formation is being given to those who
are being solicited and to such other
Alma people as are vitally interested
in the growth of the city.
The three acre site selected for the
plant is just south of the Ann Arbor
railroad coal docks, and the factory
will be served by a siding from the
Ann Arbor railroad main line. The
location of this plant will give more
of balance to the growth of the
CITY and result in further develop
ment towards the south.
