ONE COMMUNITY NEED

1t has been referred to heretofore
in these columns but it is only by
constant effort that the community
will impress itself that it needs a
new city hall and auditorium. 1t
ought to be a daily custom to ask
those in charge of municipal affairs
to do something to relieve this
handicap.
Community houses are stylish
these days. These can be made into
any form and to serve any purpose,
Oars WI enever 1t is constructed,
should be constructed memorial to
the men who represented this coun-
ty in the World War wy owe them
much more than that.
The municipal business can be
is not the grievance. 1t is a large
auditorium which can be use as a
theatre for both real and movie
shows as well as for large assembl-
age of persons on any public occasion.
A score or more of citizens from
here rode thirty miles through the
country, lost nights sleep, and
spent a good bit of money to see
Fields Minstrels at Albany the
past week. Fields could have played
here in a good house at quarter a
piece and made good money, had suf
ficient room been available. Other
shows of varied merit are all held
up and not permitted to come here
for the lack of room. Fitzgerald en-
joys five and ten cent prices for the
best movies now because that town
has a large theatre building.
Our community has considerable
money tied up in property which
would be worth something if it could
be diverted to other uses. That to-
gether with creditable issue of
bonds for the purpose might enable
the community to have what it needs
in city hall and auditorium. The
logical site in the whole community
might now be available if proper dis
position were made of it. 1t is really
an appropriate time for move for
a city auditorium and municipal
building 1t would become wonder
fully convenient structure.

ton of Georgia. We speak of it so
much now because this IS the time TO
impress it. The farmer must lay out
the years crop now. No matter what
his crop will be next year, his sche.
dule must be shaping itself and fully
completed before Christmas.
The price of peanuts next year
will not be much lower. The demand
will be good No planter need fear
the consequences. And his hogs

A WORD TO SHIPPERS

To the end that utmost possible
utility may be secured from the
existing limited transportation facili-
ties" Director General Hines has is
sued an appeal to shippers and re-
ceivers of freight for cooperation
with those exercising control of the
railroads. shippers, he urges, can
materially promote freight car eff
ficiency:
(D BY loading all ears to full
visible or carrying capacity.
(2l BY prompt loading and release
to the carrier.
ca BY ordering cars only when ac-
tually required.
(4) BY eliminating the use of rail
way equipment in trap or transfer ser
vice when tonnage can be handled
by motor truck or wagon.
90 BY reducing the diversion and
reconsigment of cars to minimum; :;
While receivers can assist:
% BY trompt unloading of cars
and notice thereof to the carrier,
(2l BY ordering goods in quantities
representing the full safe carrying
capacity of cars and disregarding
trade units.
go BY ordering from the nearest
available source.
CA BY pooling orderSso as to Sc
cure full carload.
All of the above suggestions are
practicable and can be followed with
ouJ substantial loss to any. And in
this connection it should be borne
in mind that the gain to be expected
from such cooperation is of the most
substantial kind. For without it. ur
