BIKE HIGHWAY ApnI.nGv. M m
Proposed New Route Between Way
cross and FOlkstOn, Ga,
ArOuses Interest

Waycross, Oct. 21.-Much interest
is being developed between here and
Folkston over the inspection of the
proposed new route of the Dixie high
way via Hoboken and Winokur.
Judge M. M. Allison, president Of
the Dixie Highway Association OF
Chattanooga, together with several
Of the Chattanooga directors, and
those from Georgia, are arranging
for this inspection about Oct. 20 to
25.
Great interest Is manifested along
the new route and 1t is believed by
reason of the greater population and
the better material out Of which to
build road, 1t will be the solution
to the inexecrable apology that has
been known heretofore as the Dixie
highway between Waycross and
Folkston.
1t is expected that Carl Fisher OF
Indianapolis, the originator and the
promoter of the Dixie Highway be-
tween Chicago and Miami, will also
be with the inspecting party.
New Route Is Necessary
II has been recently announced by
the Georgia Dixie Highway commits
sion that the federal funds for i'm
proving the present Dixie highway
between Waycross and Folkston and
making good route of It the entire
distance has been held up and the
project practically abandoned by
reason of the ruling as to the neces'
sary R. F. D. percentage. The fed
eral government requires that so per
cent of any road must be used by
R. F. D. carriers in order to receive
federal aid in its construction. 1t
has, therefore, been decided as nee
essary to find new route.
Another highway development be-
ing worked on in Waycross is 10 ar
range suitable camping ground for
tourists in automobiles where they
may spread their tents, find complete
camping accommodations with ample
water and hearty welcome. There
are so many tourists coming through
Waycross going to Florida each win
ter who have to put up at night here
and there in the woods that Wav'
cross is endeavoring to anticipate
their needs this winter by arranging
ali ideal camping site.

Early Report on Note
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 21.-Secretary
Lansing said today he had reason to
believe the German reply to Wilson
will be received shortly, perhaps be-
fcre the day is over. He didn't in
dicate what information had reached
him to clear up the uncertainty re-
garding the coming Of the German
reply created by conflicted unofficial
reports through neutral countries. At
the Swiss legation, through which the
note will come, 1t was said this morn
ing that not even an intimation had
been received that he communication
was on its way.

be enlarged to accommodate the great
number Of people who have expressed
by letter and telegram their intentions
to be present.
The fact that Honorable Franklin
X. Lane, Secretary Of the Interior.
will be present and outline the pos
sibilities Of the plan for utilizing
large areas Of undeveloped land In
the Southern States for making farms
to which soldiers may come after de
mobilization and find them ready to
begin farming operations, or else
have place where the soldiers can
obtain employment at fair wages pre-
pairing the lands which later they
| will acquire on reasonable basis
for farming, Is magnet that will
attract many land owners and others
interested in the development o, this
territory.
Surveys Of general nature have
been completed by H. T. Cory, who
has reported to Secretary Lane, and
the results Of that survey will be
data for Secretary Lane.
The government has expended con-
siderable money In getting these
preliminary reports Of state condi-
tions, and the active organizations in
terested in this territory have given
their time and means to help secure
data for Secretary Ian.
It Is anticipated that a number Of
colonies or development projects will
be undertaken at various places, so
that the different types Of soil and
different classes Of farming, ranching
and live stock raising may be offered
the men. The size Of the develop
ment projects will depend to q large
extent upon local conditions, and up
on the kind Of farming which can be
best carried on under those condi-
tions.
The government does not antici-
pate giving any soldier farm. but
realizes that most of those who re-
turn to farm activity will need to
have an opportunity to start with n
going enterprise and not have TO
spend a long time stumping laid or
working out drainage problems which
are better solved in large co.opera-
tive plans.
The tentative plan that has been
discussed by land owners with gov
ernment representatives is for the
land owners, state government and
the United States government to work
in cooperation, and the land with
necessary Improvements to be sold
on long time payments so that the
purchaser need not tie up all HIS
capital in buying land and making
Improvements out of his available
funds.
However, all plans are necessarily
very tentative, and the discussions
at the Southern Land Congress will
be or he purpose of getting a work
