Mabel Taliaferro, who as Jerry

one of the happiest roles in her sue
cessful career has been associated
with parts that have established her
as the sweetest of stars" Her debut
in the silent drama" was as "Cinder-
ella" and before this she had attained
place in the stellar armament of
the speaking stage that made her en-
trance into motion pictures a distinct
sensation.
Miss TaliafeTro was the first Amer
lean star to appear in pictures. She
made this move when she was scoring
tremendous success in the title role
OF Polly of the Circus" and the stage
was deprived of one CT its most charm
ing personages.
Her last appearance on the speak
ing stage was in the alI-star cast of
THE New Henrietta" Since she left
that company to join the Metro forces
she has appeared in such Metro Won
derplays as THE Snowbird," Her
Great Price" Gods Half Acre" "The
Dawn of Love-" and THE Sunbeam"
AS Miss Taliaferro's Polly in Polly
of The Circus" was role that estab-
lished her as one of the most captivat-
ing stars of the speaking stage, her

RAILROADS TELL THEIR SIDE
OF ALLEGED BIG EARNINGS

ATLANTA. Ca, Jan. 29.-Notwith-
standing the fact that railroads in the
United States earned more than a
billion dollars net in 1916, which was
the largest net earning on record,
railroad stock is not the most entic-
ing investment in the world, judging
by figures which have just been
brought to the attention of the Geor-
gia railroad commission in THE city.
High cost of steel and other equip
nent, increases in wages, advances in
fuel and other items on the disburse-
ment isde of the railroad apportion-
laent sheet have eaten up so much Of
the revenue that the stockholders
must be content with a dividend of
something less than six per cent.
The statistics show that, taking a
dollar as the unit of railroad net earn
ings, more than 43 cents went to la
hor; II cents for material and sup
plies; 5 cents to taxes; cents to
fuel and locomotive supplies; more
than 2 cents for loss and damage; /
cents for rent of leased roads; nearly
2 cents Off betterments; nearly Is
cents to interest and sinking fund;
thus leaving bare cents on the dol
lar to dividends and surplus.

FARMERS OF THE SOUTH
MORE THAN LAST YEAR

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 20
Farmers of the South are better off
by half a billion dollars than they were
this time last wear" said President
Fairfax Harrison, of the Southern
Railway System, referring to the fig
ures of aggregate crop values publish
ed by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
These figures show" said Mr.. Har-
rison, that in the states of Virginia,
North Carolina. South Carolina, Flor
ida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama
and Mississippi, the total value of all
crops grown in 1916 was $1,S82, &c.,,
600, as compared with $1,377 1852 900
il. 1915, an increase of $5O4,7OS 900, or
1864 per cent. These figures are ar
rived at by taking the reported calues
of 10 principal crops as to which the
Agricultural Department collects an
nual statistics and adding values for
all other crops based on the percent
ages of the 10 crops to all crops as
shown by the Census of 1910.
while the increased total value
shown is, in large part, due to higher
prices for farm products, it is truly
remarkable when taken in connection
with the unfavorable weather condi-
tions which prevailed in large part
of the territory. In some localities, as
result of adverse weather conditions
and the damage done by the Mexican
cotton boil weevil, crop-yields were
substantially reduced, but, taking the
South as a whole, it's farmers were
never more prosperous than at this
time"

ALL GEORGIA WORKS
FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sunday, February 18th. which is the
occasion of the annual Georgia Go-To-
Sunday-School Day." bids fair to be a
history making occasion, according to
information received from the office
of the Georgia Sunday School Asso-
citation in Atlanta. The aim of fifty
per cent. increase over the attendance
for all Sunday schools in the the state
has been suggested, which, if reached,
will put considerably more than half a
million in the Sunday schools on Feb
ruary 18th.
A number of the towns and cities in
the state, and even whole counties,
have made plans and are working to
have a record-breaking attendance in
all Sunday schools. In Atlanta the
Mems and Women's Bible Glass feder-
atoms are conducting a campaign to
give a city-wide invitation to the peo-
pie to attend Sunday school. A big
forty-foot cloth sign has been put
up across the street right in the heart

Georgia "Go-To- Sunday-School Day"

600 men and women in the Bible

Tire PEOPLE TRY
TO PUT ALL Miles
POSSIBLE IN TIRE

One of the hardest things we have
! t. do, says ]. R. Parker, of the Ameri
Gus Automobile Co., is to convince tht
car-owner that all tire companies try
to build the geratest number of miles
possible in their tires. Nearly every
tire-user believes that the tore manu-
facturer wants his product to wear out
as soon as possible.
When we put in our stock of Good
year company asked us to do uor best
to convince the public that this condi-
ticn was not true with the large ma
jority of tire makers.
For the benefit of the tire industry
we are trying to to do this.
To every car-owner who buys a tire
from us we try to explain just what
the company that made the tire has
done to make that tire give long mile
age and little trouble.
For instance The Goodyear Tire &
ubber Co. this year is spending over
four and quarter millions of dollars
to improve their product
They are using braided piano wire
bead in their No Hook and @. D.
Cdincher tires that eliminates to the
greatest possible extent rim-cutting,
tube pinching, and blowing off the rim.
Their method of curing tires the
Double Cure, Wrapped tread method
reduces the risk of blowouts to the
minimum.
Then the extra amount of better
grade material that goes into Good
year tires makes them larger and
stronger so that they will ride easier
ard wear longer.
Their All Weather Tread tires have
the advantage of more rubber, ching
nearly twice as thick as the ordinary
Eon-skid
All of these things go to prove that
the tire companies of today are trying
to make tires that will give the car
owner better service and cost him less.
And remember if it costs a little
more to buy such tires as these it
costs less to own them. It's worth
much more to have the endurance,
comfort, and security that tires like
these give.

Supreme Court to Decide The
Hobeos Corpus Case of Horn

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The trial
at Boston of Werner Horn, held in
connection with an attempt to dyna-
mite the Canadian Pacific Railway
bridge across the St. Croix river on
February 2. 1915, was suspended by
Horns habeas corpus suit. Under a
federal indictment charging unlawful
transportation of explosives from New
York through Massachusetts to Van
ceboro. Me-, the American terminus OF
the international bridge, Horn has
been held in jail at Boston i'll default
of $4,000 bail.
Horn appealed to the supreme court
from rejection of his habeas corpus
plan by Federal District Judge Put
nam and Hale of Maine and Morton OF
Massachusetts. Their dismissals were
affirmed by the first circuit court OF
appeals. Alleging that the dismissals
we're improper and that he was de-
MED fair hearings before the Maine
Federal Courts and immigration offic-
ials at Bangor and Portland when ex-
tradited to Boston, Horn asked the
supreme court either to discharge him
from custody on the ground that he is
exempt from punishment in United
States courts. or that he be returned
to Maine for proceedings Gin accord
with law and justice"
Although the Canadian authorities
asked Horns extradition, he was held
for trial on the charge of unlawfully
carrying dynamite on passenger
trains to Blow up the bridge, which
was damaged, though not seriously
and only on the Canadian side. After
the explosion Horn was arrested al

What Is
AlabaStine?

Alabastine is a beautiful, sanitary,
durable and economical material for
use on all interior wall surfaces.
Alabastine in white and tints comes
prepared for use, in dry powder form.
requiring only the mixing with either
cold or warm water.
Alabastine is applied with any good
7 or S-inch wall brush.

smooth plaster, wall board, cement,
brick. wood or canvas.
Alabastine is sanitary in its nature,
beautiful in its effects, easy to mix and
apply, and too superior to be compar-
ed with ordinary kalsomines.
Alabastine is more artistic than wall
paper, more effective than paint, more
permanent than kalsomine.
Alabastine goes further, lasts longer
and is more durable than any kalso-
mine.
Alabastine is less expensive and lar

With a throb and thrill and oneness

for his acts, Horn contended that he

violation of American neutrality.
