GEORGIA PECAN CROP
SMALLEST IN YEARS
New York Packer)

Albany, Ca, Oct. 20.-Experienced
pecan men declare that the 1919 crop
of this nut, so generally grown in this
section, will be the smallest in sew
eral years. The history of the pc
can industry in this section shows
that the trees usually produce hea-
Wy crop one year and light one the
next. Last years crop was unusually
heavy and light one was naturally
expected this year, but not so light
as prospects seem to indicate. Ger
tain varieties of pecans promise heav-
Ter yields than other, but the general
output will be small Another unus.
ual feature this year is that the crop
is extremely early, indications point.

October 20. This will. enable the
meeting of Thanksgiving orders with

means of drying.

WANT NEWS OF WEDDING
SUPPRESSED BECAUSE
CHILDREN MIGHT OBJECT

West Palm Beach, Oct. 2O.-Rec-
ords in the Office of the county Judge
shows that license to wed was issued
yesterday to Charles E. Stoddard and
Mrs. Clara E. Terrell. Inquiry about
the couple did not develop much In
formation as to their identity but did
develop some interesting information
of another character. They wanted
all newspaper publicity of the issu,
ance of the license suppressed-and
that is always interesting.
Clerks in the Office of the county
judge were reticent, but it is learned
from other sources that Mr.. Stoddard
as well as Mrs. Terrell, had a pre-.
vious matrimonial experience. The
couple wanted news of their marriage
suppressed because of the objections

Cadet John Rathine met his death

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 20.-Gov-
eminent financing of Americas for
eign trade should be ended and the
pre-war course Of private financing
and enterprise resumed in order to
solve the difficulties in international
commerce, according to aJmes S.
Alexander, president of the National
Bank of Commerce in New York, who
addressed the International Trade
Conference here today. Mr.. Alexan-
der, who is chairman Of the Commit
tee on Credits and finance Of the Con-
ference, advocated as other meas
ures of reform in all nations the ne
cessity of "the greatest possible num-
Der Of people doing days work and
of the greatest possible conservation
CT the results of that work." and the
interchange of goods between the
United States and Europe on ahetter
balanced basis.
"The exports and imports Of one
kind and another In the commerce Of
the world do not, from the point of
view of any one nation give evidence
of trade-of exchange of commodities
on a reciprocal and balanced basis"
he said. Therefore, think we can
be specific in our agreement that the
chief abnormal international factor is
this alarmingly unbalanced inter
change of goods-that the balance OF
trade is too favorable to thee United
Stctes and too adverse to Europe for
the best interests Of both, and that
the correction of the exchange stu
alton resulting from this one-sided
balance will find its natural and per
manent solution through a reduction
CT our exports or an increase of our
imports until a point of approximate
equilibrium is reached"
Mr.. Alexander asserted that the
re-establishment of our commercial
relations with Europe should be &C
complished on business basis.
"That basis will be best for the
United States, and 1t will be best fol
every country in Europe" he said

One of the big problems in the
construction of permanent highways
is in selecting location for the,
highway that will be satisfactory to
everyone living in the district.
Residents living at one end of the
district are inclined to want the
road located a little closer to their
end than to the end farther from
them. A stubborn resistance to any
medium course will often hold up
the construction of roads, indefinite
ly. The main question at issue is
to get the roads. If they are not
located just as every individual
would like to have them, it is we'll
to consider compromise that will
locate the road where it will best
serve the majority of those living
within the district. 1t is question
of some personal sacrifice on the
part of few in order to get the
best results for the majority OF
those concerned.

There is no use denying the fact
that kendrick is crowded for resid-
ence Sites There is demand for
at least a dozen or more good
houses. One of the gretest draw
backs in getting anyone interested
in building is simply the fact that
there are no desirable lots obtain
able. With these conditions exist
ing we haven't a large enough
vision to see why the splendid block
OF ground called the City Park
should be allowed to furnish har-
Dor for thistIes and pig weed when
Fit could be cut up into very desir-
able building lots. If the town
were built on fiat with plenty of
room to spread out, the ground oc-
cupied by the CITY Park" could be
easily spared but under present con-
ditions it is apparently little short
of waste Of badly needed build
ing space.

1t is becoming very noticeable
that the boys who have been disA
