HON. u. GORDON JONES
WILL RUN FOR CONGR
I'm Race For Congress He
Friendly Expressions of Approval
(From the cordeIe Sentinel, August Is, 1919

The many friends of Hon. j. Cor
don Jones, for four years mayor OF
Cordele, now a member of the State
Democratic Executive Committee
from the state at large, will urge
! him to enter the race for congress
next year.
These friends are not just local
but from every county in the Third
congressional district there come ex-
pressions of approval and urgent re-
quest that he become candidate to
! represent the district in the national
congress-.
Col Jones is a prominent lawyer,
has lived in Cordele for more than
twenty years, is we'll known through
out the fifteen counties comprising
the Third congressional district, has
an extensive law practice in South
Georgia, and readily makes friends
with his acquaintance.
Col. Jones is also a gifted speak
err, and for more than twenty years
| has taken an active part in all move
lments for the betterment and ad-
vancement of this section of Geor-
gia. He knows how to get results
when he goes after them and would
make himself felt in representing
his home district in congress.
He is a prominent Mason, Wood
man of the World and Knight of
Pythias, having been active in fra
ternal order work for many years. If
he enters the congressional race, it is
freely predicted by his friends and
admirers that he will make strong
candidate from start to finish.

ished, will be we'll restrained hv oou
servatism. This combination will wor
fit him for the position of CONGRESS- oea
man, for his enthusiasm will abonns
in making him known and felt ~
congress and will cause recopnit;on
of his efforts in representing the die
trict while he will exercise conservo
tism that will well balance his entbu
siasm.
Crisp county will feel proud Of
having the congressman for once
and will highly appreciate the com
pliment, hoping that the voting ponn-
lation of the entire district NAV find
in Col. Jones, if he gets in the race
as present indications point, those
qualities and characteristics that
seem to dominate his very nature in
going after things; in making himself
felt in public debates that will make
him a live wire in representing the
district, regardless of whether
democratic or republican congress
congressman not only in name as
is sometimes the case, but a con.
gresham in reality.
1t may also be said of Col. Jones
that his has been life of untiring
struggle, and whatever he has accom-
plished has been by his own effort
and upon/h his own merits. In other
words, he was among the many who
came to Cordele and took his chances
along in the ranks of his fellowmen,
was mayor of the city until the char
ter limitation of the mayoralty office
prevented his running again. He is
now a member of the state demo-
cratic executive committee from the
state at large, and has otherwise been
felt in public matters.
In the fraternal circles he is highly
recognized and regarded. He has re-
Gently returned as a delegate at
large from the state to the national
w. o. w. convention. He is also
prominent Mason and Knight of Py-
thias. These fraternity brethren are
all over the district, and many other
friends and acquaintance. His
friends at home believe he will make
an excellent race and good con-
gresham if elected-adv.

BEAVER MAKES
 HOME FOR SELF

A beaver in a park was experiment tally placed at work upon tree 12 feet long and 2 feet 5 inches thick, just as the town clock sounded the hour of noon.
 The beaver began by barking the tree a foot above the ground. That done, he attacked the wood. He worked hard, alternating his labor with dips in his bathing pond. He bathed and labored alternately; then he ate his supper of bread and car rots which the keeper brought him, and padded about i'll his pond until 5:30 o'clock. Ten minutes later, when only one inch of the trees diameter remained intact, he bore upon his work, and the tree fell.
 Before it fell the beaver ran as men run when they have freC a blast Then as the tree lay on the ground he portioned it out mentally and began to gnaw. He worked at in- terva1s all night; cut the log into three parts; rolled two of the DOT tions into the water and reserved the other third for his permanent shelter. The work done, he took bath.- Christian Science Monitor.

 RECORD COSTLY

Washington, July 22.-The cost of publishing the Congressional Rec ord," the government publication re- cording daily everything that is said and done in Congress, as well as some things outside, was $537,64O last year, about the same as for 1918, but about $300,00o less than the 1917 cost.
 Cornelius Ford, public printer, was asked for an explanation of the high figure in 1917-$S01, ,910-but con fessed his ignorance unless Congress "did more talking that year. MT. Ford said that in 1917 Congress was in session 250 days in 1918, 307 days and in 1920 297 days. The printed pages in the "Record'' for these years were 652,511,964 in 1917, 63,672,5S7 in 1918 and 455,- .130,450 in 1919.

MEXICO CREATES 5. NEW BUREAU FOR
 FOREIGN PRESS

Mexico City, July 21-Creation here of an official bureau of Information for the foreign press was followed within a fortnight, by the disappear ance from the cable office in Mexico City of the censors who, the constitu- tion of 1917 to the contrary, had re- vised all messages, press messages in particular, for the last 10 years.
 Bringing of the censorship to the attention of President de la Huerta has been the most notable feat thus far performed by the information bu- reau. All foreign correspondents have been listed and identification cards Photographs attached) issued to them.
 Operated through the Department of the Interior, over which Manuel Aguirre Berlanga presided, and with Mario Mendez, general manager of the National telegraph lines, as chief censor, the censors were a factor not to be disregarded up until May z, when the Carranza government evac- uated the capital. During the war, charges of pro-Germanism against Berlanga and Mendez often were linked with intimations of the value of the censorship to the Germans in Mexico.
 Not only were Allied business inter ests resentful and powerless, but for eign correspondents faced a greater inconvenience, even danger. Even though the censor halted transmission of news stories judged inconvenient'' for the Carranza government. the mere filing of such a story was suf- ficient ground for declaring the cor respondent a "pernicious foreigner"
 When President de la Huerta met all the little ones," as Mexican of ficialdom terms journalists, of the foreign press at luncheon on June 12, he was asked about the censorship and declared he did not know 1t ex- isted. Immediately he directed Col oneI Benito Ramirez, his chief of staff, to order its discontfnuance.

This is only one theme of 'Passers By.'' the great c. Hadden Chambers story with Herbert Raw linson and an all-star cast.
