Commissioners Brown
Buys Farm In Appling

ATLANTA, Dec. 2.-J. ]. Brown,
commissioner Of agriculture, has
bought large farm in Appling coun-
ty, having just returned from Bax-
ley, where he closed the deal. Mr..
Brown is disposing of his property in
North Georgia and is investing it in
Appling county lands.
Mr.. Brown has two sons already
living in Appling county and he will
make his home there-whenever he
can get home The commissioner is
such busy man that sometimes he
finds it impossible to get home for
several weeks at time. The depart
ment of agriculture is big thing in
Georgia, it requires lots of work and
the commissioner is pretty much on
the jump over the state. Perhaps no
man in the state has such record as
Mr.. Brown for personal contact with
the farmers themselves. He goes to
all of their meetings and gives them
all the information he can get.

500 Overland As
Now Built Daily

1.-THE WHY'S s-0verland company
continues its remarkable progress in
building Overland a, the sensational
light car which has introduced a new
standard of easy riding comfort in
its exclusive feature of the three
point suspension springs" j. D. Hooks
of the Hooks Motor Co., said today.
''Word comes from Toledo that the
production of Overland 4 has now
reached 500 cars day. The various
factory departments are now engaged
in a spirited rivalry to accomplish
their part of the operations, so that
production may reach 900 Overland
As before the first sleighing.
Getting production up to 500 a
day on this new type of motor car
has attracted national attention as
an instance Of loyalty and intelligent
cooperation on the part of a great
working force of 12,50O employees.
"This record is further interesting
in view of the fact that there are now
no street cars in Toledo. The citizens
at last voted in favor of an custer
ordinance. The railway company
took the city at its word and sent the
street cars into the state of Michi-
gan. Despite this condition, the Will
lys-Overland factory has had an at
tendance of 100 per cent from its 49,
500 workers.
every soon now we expect to get
a number of the little mystery cars
the Overland Four, enough to meet
the constantly increasing demand
