Growers Of Melons
Still Undecided on
Crop This Season

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, Jan. 2S.-The
watermelon growers in thisterTitory are
still undecided as to what to do in re-
gard to planting a crop for the coming
season. At the request of Secretary
Massey, of the Thomas County Com
mercial association. Congressman
Frank Park took up with Director
General McAdoo the question as to
whether or not the railroads would be
able to supply cars sufficient for ship
ping melons this season. Mr.. McAdoo,
while willing to do everything possible
to aid in the matter could make no
definite promises. as under existing
war conditions he could not tell what
the shipping facilities would be.
Congressman Park is of the opinion,
however, that with the coming of warm
weather the congestion of freight will
be over and there will be the usual num-
Der of cars available. There are a good
many melon growers who say they do
not care to take the risk but there are
others who will, as they feel that if
the situation does clear up the man who
has crop will realize good returns

President Urges New

WASHINGTON, Jan. $50 meet
serious disquietude," not only in this
country, but more particularly in Rus
STA, President Wilson has interviewed
in behalf of Thomas J. Mooney, con-
victed and now under death sentence
in connection with the San Francisco
preparedness day bomb crime.
The president has written letter to
Governor Stephens, OF California, urg-
ing him with the cooperation Of the
states prosecuting officers to bring
about a new trial for Mooney, where
by guilt or innocence may be put 20
the test of unquestionable justice"
On recommendation of a special com

the execution of Moneys sentence be
postponed to await the outcome OF a
new trial based upon prosecution I'M

four hours after the event that the
dead man was discovered under the ice
in p frozen condition, with the features
so completely battered that they could
be recognized only with difficulty.
Rejoicing by the Populace
The curious thing is that. though il
was known exactly where the body had
been dropped, il could not be found at
once, having been carried away by the
current further than had been expected
This gave rise to all kind of rumors,
and the friends of Rasputin tried to
spread the news that he had" escaped
and was hiding away somewhere from
his prosecutors. The tale. however,
could not be kept up for any length Of
time, as the whole capital with an un-
heardof rapidly became aware that the
most detested man in the whole of Rus
STA had at last met with the fate which
he so richly deserved. The JOY of the
public could not he suppressed, not
withstanding the fear of the police. In
all the theaters and public places the
NATIONAL anthem was sung with an i'm
mense enthusiasm. No one regretted
what had happened. and the people sus-
pected OF having had a hand in the
murder received messages of congratu-
lation from every quarter. In fact, they
became at once national heroes. The
murder so far has remained unpublished.
and il is more than likely that no one
will be brought TO account for it

TOWNSVILLE, Ga, JaA. 2S.-That
the peanut crop planted the coming sea-
son will be the largest ever known n
this section there is no doubt, as the
great demand for this commodity and
the fine prices obtained for it will
make every farmer more than double
his acreage. With prices ranging from
800 to s12O a ton, the peanut, which in
bygone days was among the small crops
in this section. has come into the front
ranks While it still affords feed for
the many -pure-bred hogs in this sec
ton. the great uses for it by the many
mills that are springtng UP everywhere
makes the demand large and the prices

Alexis kosloH
Made. Biggest Hit
In Paris Opera

Alexis Kosloff, who is dancing once
more in New York in "Sinbad," at the
Winter Garden, and who also is re-
sponsible for the ballets in that pro-
duction, is one of the train of Russian
artists who remained in America after
the invasion headed by Pavlowa and
Mordkin.
Kosloff comes from Petrograd and
Moscow. He was educated at the i'm
perial ballet school of Russia, where
he remained for seven years. After
being graduated he Joined the Imperial
Grand Theatre of Moscow, which be-
longed to the Russian Car, and where
he appeared for thirteen years. Upon
leaving Moscow he went to Berlin. He
was IN Paris for several seasons, dane
ing with his company at the Paris
Grand Opera, and it was there that he
made his biggest success on the stage.
Upon his return TO Russia Kosloff
was presented by the Russian Car
with many medals, and royal presents
were showered upon him by the Rus
sian government. At that time he was
invited to go to England with his own
company of $50 people. At the Coli
scum and Hippodrome he produced
"Scheherazade," from "The Arabian
Nights" Leaving England, he travelled
with his own company in Spain, France,
Belgium and throughout the greater
part Of the world. Then he Joined the
Winter Garden passing Show of 1916"
where he danced with Mile. Baldina
and Marylinn Miller, and later in the
"Show of Wonders"

When one considers the success Miss
