PUBLIC BUILDINGS
WANTED BY MANY
WITH WAR ENDED GEORGIA CIT
les BEGIN TO CLAMOR AGAIN
FOR APPROPRIATIONS.

WASHINGTON. : Bills for the
erection of new public buildings in
many towns in Georgia are thick as
blackberries in June, since the an
nouncement here a day or two ago
that the house committee on public
buildings and grounds had decided to
report out real old fashioned pork
barrel" bill during the next few days.
1t has been long time since there
has been real pork barrel" of Sc
rious dimensions. Especially was
this omnibus" bill plan put to sleep
when the war begun. There was a
cry that nothing should be passed that
did not SAVIOR of the war,
Temporarily Put to Sleep.
This idea spread over the land and
took so firm a hold in the minds of
the people that the public building
committee was put to sleep for long,
long time. Now, however, it is show
ing signs of activity and has an
nounced that it will soon report a big,
fat, juicy bill of wide proportions.
There are twelve congressional dis
tricts in Georgia and it as safe to as
sumo that within the next week
enough bills for the construction of
new buildings throughout the state
will be placed in the house hopper to
cover a good sized front yard.
In addition to this, those members
of the house who have not contem-
plated Offering new bills will revive
old ones, re-introducing and bringing
them to the front again in the hope of
sharing in the pork barrel at the
right time.

MR.. WILLIAM WRIGLEY'S

Is For Million Dollars, and Would
Take An Active StenOgrapher $500
Years to Chew Value of 1t.
Mr.. William Wrigley's life has been
insured for $1,OO0,000.
How many sticks of gum would Mr.
Wrigley have to market to produce as
much as Mr. William Wrigley's es-
tate will receive from the insurance
companies on his death?
Lacking exact knowledge as to Mr.
William Wrigley's profits, but allow
ing him half a cent on each stick of
gum, he must sell 200,000,000 sticks
of gum to make $1,000,000.
A stick of gum is three inches over
all-that means including wrapper. It
will stretch much farther. Two hun
dred million sticks placed end to end
will reach 600,000,O00 inches, 9468
miles-farther than from New York
to Berlin and back.
Allowing an active stenographer
one stick an hour for each eight-hour
day it would take her 100000 days,
or $500 years, to masticate the
value of Mr.. Wrigley's policy, by
which time she might be classed as
an antideluvian.
Indeed, it would take her close to
$500 years to chew enough to pay the
annual premium of $4,000, though a
battery of $500 stenogs will do it in
a year and have some days to spare.
And Mr.. William Wrigley started
making chewing gum on the kitchen
stove.

CUTHBERT COMES FORWARD
WITH A FREAK OF NATURE
Apple Seed Planted by a Lady Resi-
dent Produces Ounce.

According to the Leader, several
years ago a Cuthbert lady, after eat
ing fine apple, decided to plant the
seed and try to raise apples of her
own. One of the seed sprouted and
produced tiny tree that was care
fully tended. 1t lived and grew and
last spring blossomed and bore fruit
But, much to the CONSERVATION of the
good lady, when she went to gather
her apple crop she discovered that her
tree had borne ounces.
The Bible declares that "whatso-
ever a man soweth that shall he also
reap" but the Cuthbert lady in ques-
ton, according to the statement of
her son, could truthfully claim that
there might be an exception to this
in the case Of a woman who plants
seed from grated or budded trees.

SENATOR SMITH WARNS THE

WASHINGTON. - Senator Hoke

''I-have seen a story going through

'For a number of years / have

have done what I could to help keep
all the markets open for the sale of
cotton.
II urge the farmers to plant food
stuffs and prepare to raise meat. The
probabilities all are there will be a
big demand for foodstuffs next year.
In any event, if the farmers raise
their foodstuffs they can live at home
and feed the balance of the people of

Planting a small crop will help take
care of the price Of the cotton still in
the South for sale. 1t is necessary
this year for the protection of the
farmers and all other Southern in
terests that everything possible be
raised on the farms except cotton and
that cotton should be surplus
crop, the sale of which--both as to
price and the time of sales-can be
controlled by the farmers.

Believes That Great Circle Route Will Prove Most Effective For Crossing Pacific

 Congestion of the trans-Pacific cable and wireless systems has caused I Seattle's Chamber of Commerce to investigate the possibility of estab 1 fishing a new line of communication between the northwest and the Ori. ent. The suggestion of the jump route along the Alaska coast was made to the Chamber by Colonel Lenoir
 The present military cable between Seattle and the Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska probably could | JIG d peii Ol tnC olClh PIOpooOu p' Colonel Lepoir. Messages filed from here to the Orient oyer the line would be sent on the cable to Valdez or some other southwestern Alaska 1 town.
 From the end of the cable, probably at Valdez, the messages would be re layed by wireless out along the Alas ka peninsula to Attn Island, dot of ] land on the map far out on the end of the Aleutian string
 Attu would take the messages off | the radio and send them to Japan over cable which Colonel LenOir 1 believes could be laid along the Jap onese coast from Yokahoma to the end of the Aleutian Islands.
 Erection of wireless stations at Valdez and on Attu Island and the laying of the Attu-Japan cable wonlt. be necessary. The line from Seattlo 10 Valdez is already down and work ing daily.
 By using a cable from Attu west, according to Colonel Lenoir, delay' at relay points would be avoided ts large extent He pointed out that if over the entire. distance to the 1 Orient messages were handled ex- clusively by wireless stations con siderable delay would occur because of one station interfering with an other while sending or receiving. There is some difficulty in sending and receiving radio messages at tho same station at the same time. The same rule would work on the eastern cable end of the proposed system.
