GAS PLANT WOULD HELP
SOLVE LABOR QUESTION

A shortage of servants is causing
the most serious concern throughout
the country. For some time it has
been one of the possibilities that Ma
rietta will have a gas plant. This
would do much to relieve the labor
of household work. In many parts
of the state the same action is being
considered. A Quitman Georgia dis
patch says:
"a number of business men here
are investigating the cost of a gas
plant. It is recognized that the ser
want problem will remain unSPlved
for some time to come owing to gen
eral labor conditions and that it is
high time homes were equipped with
the labor saving devices which make
it possible for women to perform their
household work without so much
drudgery. Gas for cooking is the first
requisite" Gaa

DRAINAGE FOR APPLING

The Baxley News-B Banner is making
sustained and forceful effort for
the reclamation of Appling county
wet lands. Success for this enter
prise would mean, as it says, the es-
Enlistment of IAN empire of fertili-
ty in a region of the State practically
free from blighting cold"
The gains for the property owners
concerned would repay hundreds of
times over the cost of the improve
ment, and would be for all time. 1t
is a matter of record that lands which
formerly sold for a few dollars an
acre, or were unstable at any price,
now that they have been drained are
worth upwards of hundred dollars
an acre and are yielding crops of Won
derful bounty.
But the good results are not limit
ed to the individual owners; rather,
they extend to the entire community
and district. The reclamation of
swamp lands produces new wealth,
new opportunity and new business.
Moreover, it removes a menace to
public health by destroying the breed
ing places of notwithstanding mos
quitoes. 1t increases the income of
the county and of the state treasury
and thus contributes to the support
of schools and the betterment of
roads.
There are few enterprises, indeed,
at once so substantial and so wide
reaching in the public benefits they
offer as, that which the Bailey News
Banner is urging in it's county and
which ought to be exploited in every
part of Georgia where swamp lands
are found.-Atlanta Journal.

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
CHAIRMAN FAVORS
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT

Homer S. Cummings, Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
is an unqualified endorser of the
prompt ratification of the Federal
Suffrage Amendment. He has just
made the following statement in re-
gard to his stand:
81 am strongly in favor of prompt
ratification of the Federal Amend
ment and I hope that a sufficient num-
Der of state legislatures will be
called in special session to insure the
ratification of the Amendment so that
the women of our country, in every
state, may be able to participate as
voters in the presidential election of

SKIRTS TO BE HIGHER;
MATERIAL TOO SCARCE

New York, July 16.-Skirts will be
shorter this fall, even if the pockets
have to be moved north,
Either that, or skinnier-much,
much SKINNER.
The dress fabric goods buyers,
meeting here, are one in saying it has
got to be done, for there isn't going
to be enough cloth to go around. If
some one insists on eight-yard scene
ry, they say, somebody else has got
to stay home. And all this be-
cause:
/. The silk worms have joined
the Bolsheviki.
2. Planters are growing water
melons or something instead of cot
ton.
3. Woolly lambs are breaking alti-
tude records.
Ale who tolls is getting to be an
uncertain commodity.

FORTUNE LAVISHED
ON "RED LANTERN"
New Nazimova Picture to be Seen
at Dixie Theater on Tues
day Next.

The expenditure of a quarter OF
million dollars, costumes worth
kings ransom and the services OF
1900 persons, from directors, scena-
rio writer's and art designers to an
ensemble that embodied a small army
in size. represent but part OF the
tremendous outlay in money, time
and effort given by Metro to the pro-
duction of "The Red Lantern" IN
which the incompatible Nazimova APP
pears at the Dixie Theatre on Tues
day next.
THE Red Lantern" is truly colas-
sal when it is judged by the conlbina-
ton of the supreme artistry OF us
brilliant star and by the sumpruous
environment provided for her and
her supporting cast. 1t has the addeo
value of being based upon one OF the
most talked of novels of, the decade,
"The Red Lantern" a romance OF
the ancient city Of Pekin, from the
pen of Edith Wherry, and published
by the Bodley Head.
The total cost of producing line
Red Lantern" was, in round hgufes'
S25O,0OO. The time required 10
make it, was three months; elgnt
weeks in actual production and four
weeks devoted to elaborate research
work carried out by June Mathis and
Albert Capellani, who made the
screen adoption and scenario, in or
der to insure absolute accuracy IN
the matter of Chinese life and Gus
toms.
In this they were aided by seevral
assistant librarians in Los Angeles
and Hollywood, so that before
scene was photographed they had
amassed a wealth of material that
assured authenticity in every detail,
and also suggested many bits OF
quaint business, throwing truthful
sidelights on the characters OF the
inhabitants of the ancient capital OF
China.
Albert Capellani, the eminent
French director, now producing his
own pictures, directed Nazlmova IN
..The Red Lantern" To him was as
signed by Messrs. Rowland and Kar-
ger. the exclusive services of Henri
Menesier, French artist and Paris
Academy medal winner, to design
not only all the art interiors, but Gus
tune details, special furnishings and
properties, and also to "dress' every
setting with an eye to color mar
monies and contrast.
Nazimova's gowns alone, the spfen-
did robes of state worn in the impe-
rial court of the Munchas and the
fantastic habiliments of the Goddess
of "The Red Lantern among them,
were worth $4,000, and the cos
tunes worn by supporting principals
in the large cast and those of the
hundreds of "extra's" figuring in the
palace scenes and the bloody street
fighting scenes reproducing the Boxer
uprising in Pekin at the time of the
seige at the Allied Legations in 1900,
were worth $4,000. Real Chinese
rugs used in the production represent
a fabulous outlay.
The patrons of the Dixie will see
a picture that is we'll worth the price
of admission in "The Red Lantern"
and this is another proof that Man
ager Manning is ever on the lookout
for the best there is in motion pic

PROPERTY SHOULD BE
REVALUEH YEARLY, CLAIM

Much discussion has been current
since it became known that there will
probably be revaluation of taxable
property next year, and there are
many in the county who feel that
properly values should be fixed year.
ly. For example, it is stated that
values in Chatham township have in
creased at least 100 per cent as a
whole. If taxes were assessed on this
amount this township would soon
have money enough to improve every
road within it's boundaries.
Opponents of the yearly revalua-
tion state that they are in favor Of a
blanket raise, in the same proportion
over the entire county, claiming that
the increased valuation in a section
where oil is being drilled, is in many
cases temporary, for as soon as wells
run dry or dry holes are struck, prop
erty values decline over night.
However, support is being added
daily to the ranks of those VINO want
yearly valuation, which onthe face
of it does seem to be the most
equitable manner, and the main draw
hack at present seems to be that when
once property valuation is increased
on the duplicate it is we'll nigh i'm
possible to get it ever again reduced.

There is no evidence on the surface
that the workmen in local manufac-
tories are in sympathy with the steel
strike and other like movements of
unrest in this country. So far there
have been no defections in local fac
tories, and so far there has been little
favorable comment. Workmen here
seem to recognize, with a display OF
their good sense, that while prices
are high and money not exercising its
full sway in commercial life, that
things can't last forever as they are
and they live in hope that there may
soon come break in living prices
that will even up things and make
life more worth living.

Actors Highest Paid Workers, Claim Made
 By Theatre Heads

New York, Aug. 30.-Deciarlng that actors are among the highest pair workers in the world, and have shorter hours than those of any other occupation, the Producing Man agers' Protective association tonight issued statement defining it's anti labor position in the present actors strike.
 "The strike is neither founded upon a demand for increased wages or for shorter hours," said the state ment, land as these demands are the primary inducing causes for the for nation of unions, and utilization with other unions, it is evident that the actors are strangers to the funda- mental needs of unionism."
 The producing managers, who had not made a definio statement of their position before tonight, said it had purposely been withheld until re- presentatives of the association could confer with Samuel Gompers, presi- dent of the American Federation of Labor. This conference was in Washington today, with George M. Conan and Arthur Hopkins repre- senting the managers.
