ATHENS COLLEGE

Athens, May cial.)-Every body is wearing a smile now, final ex-. aminations are thing of the past, and trunks ares ready for the depot, noth- ing to do but to entertain the visi- tors and plan big things for the sum- mer. The wise ones have already re- served their rooms for the coming year, however, so they are perfectly carefree for the three months to fol- low. The seventy-seventh annual com mencement was splendid success in every detail. Every minute vas crowd ed with something enjoyable and
 profitable. The programme began with the meeting of the alumnae on Saturday, May 21, and closed Tuesday evening with the graduating exercises with baccalaureate address by Rev. J. J.

Bascom Anthony of Macon. Ga. held his eon9te ga ton in a most magnetic manner with his commence nent sermon. His sermon showed an unusually penetrative and thought fui mind and brought home simple truths in manner which will not soon he forgotten.

Refreshments cox ,a1 ftn there was music by a special orches- tra from Decatur.

WARRANTS HUNTING
 ! TEMPORARY JOBS
Following Ban on likeness They Work a Few Days
 Then Quit

Following the drive against va srants inaugurated by the city and county authorities, hundreds of idlers, mostly negroes. have applied to va- rious industrial plants for jobs, but they have worked one or two days and quit. This information from factory Circles was presented to city and ecunty authorities Friday, and the officials were urged to redouble thelr efforts to reduce the evils Of ldleness.
 The yagrant problem has become very serious of late because hundreds Of workmen have laid off three or four days a week in order to spend tLe time in seeking amusement re quenting poolrooms and street corners, tplaying baseball and indulging in like thappy pastimes, while the jobs go begging for somebody to help increase production. Many professional idlers, upon hearing of the campaign proposed by the authorities to rid the city Of vsgrants, imm mediately applied for jobs but merely as ruse, for they have quit in equal number after day or two of effort. thinking the campaign ould be merely temporary move ment. The police and sheriff. how ever, are determined to continue the roundup of industrial slackers and idsers and prosecute them under the vsgrancy slaws if they do not find use- fui employment.
 TAe enforcement of the move on" ordinance down town is merely one phase of the drive, it is explained. White idlers set a very harmful eX- ample for negroes when they crowd tie sidewalks hourly for the purpose of ogling women, the police point out, There has been continual complaint from merchants whose windows are hidden by the swarms of static sight seers. from pedestrians who are an moved, and from busy people generally who feel that idleness is entirely too widely prevalent in Birmingham.

fAQUI INDIANS
 PACIFIED AFTER
 CENTURY OF WAR

NOGALES, Sept 24,-Reeent paci- fication of the warlike Yaqui Indians of the Mexican state of Sonora has allowed the state authorities to turn from one of their worst problems to e new task, that of developing irrigu- tion projects and providing homes and crops, Gov. Flavio A BerqueZ recently told The Associated Press.
 "Pacifying the Yaqui Indians solves the greatest problem Sonora has had to meet" h. said. These Indians have beer a thorn n the side of the Soaora aad M a1lcan governments for eighty eight years. The trouble dates back to the old Spanish day 5 when the land which the Indians claimed was riehtfully theirs was taken from them.
 We have finally succeeded in sat isfying then by restoring the lands to them and providing them with food, clothing and materials for farm ing This was accomplished through the efforts of President De La Huer- la, Secretary of War Gales and my self
 "Yaqui chiefs recently conferred with me here and assured me that the Indians are thoroughly pacificd and ready to settle down and take up farming on reservation lands we have provided for them. The govern ment has set aside between 10000 and 30,000 acres of the finest land in the Yaqui Valley for their use as q reservation
 Many of the ancient irrigation ditches have been rebuilt by the gov. ernment so that the Indians can have water. New ditches have been open ed and more will be built with Fed eral and State funds.
 Eventually we hope to irIiSate more than a million acres of land and the project will cost not less than ten millions and will require three or four years to complete. The first steD .n the work will be the construction of a great dam to hold the water of the Sonora River Long term loans are expected to finance the plan.
 Irrigation is tie basis of Sonora 8 welfare. Water only is needed to reclaim vast areas of Sonora land which is as rich as the Nile Valley and is as good or even better than the famous Imperial Valley
 Schools are as vital to the welfare of Sonora as water and We are max ing extensive plans for school ex- tension. Included in our new budget is $2.500.000 for schools
 ''The new era has dawned in Mex ico and especially Sonora. The goS ernment of the state is on a business basis and we will welcome the world to the state to help us in our re-
