Little French Town
With Only One Chair
Gets Bic Truck Load

WASHINGTON.-For many months
the little city of Coulogne, in the
Aisne region of France, possessed
but a single chair and it was the
property of the mayor. 1t was of
ficially known as 1.-The chair" until
the Junior Red Cross of America sent
to that city motor truck loaded
with chairs and tables that had been
made by the boys of America in their
thousands of these articles of furni-
ture were sent to the devastated
areas of France.
Colonies Todd and Bicknell, of
the Red Cross, recently went to
Chamery to adjust some difficulties
that had arisen to block construction
of the Quentin Roosevelt memorial
fountain, the details of which had
been intrusted to the American Red
Cross by the late Colonel Roosevelt.
At Chamery they learned that the
they located him there he apologized
for having left the city's only chair
at the town hall. All were forced
to stand throughout the visit.
An exchange of views quickly ad-
justed matters pertaining to the me-
mortal fountain and as the Red Cross
representatives departed for Paris
they promised to- relieve the soli-
tude of that town chair. Soon after
ward the vanload of Junior Red
Cross furniture was sent to CouIogne
tied the little city it was proudly
pointed out that the entire company
gathered to confer with him was
seated and the gratitude was voiced
to the American lads who had con-
tributed the needed tables and chairs.

Woman, With Mind
OfChiId, Presents Big
Problems to Officials

Denied admittance to the state
farm at Milledgeville, refused by
charitable institutions and hospitals
owing to their inability to take care
of her, not wanted by relatives and
denied further shelter at the Fulton
county Jail by order of the court,
Mrs. Laura Hughey, thirty-two years
was ordered discharged from the
Tower by Judge T. o. Hathcock, in
the municipal court Monday, and a
problem has arisen as to what can
be done with the woman.
Mrs. Hughey was sent to the Tow
er on November 26 in default of a
$500 peace bond, the same having
been issued by the municipal court
pending a hearing before the ordi-
narys court as to the womans men,
tai condition. 1t was claimed by per-
sons where she was rooming that
the woman washed her baby in car
bolic acid and created a disturbance.
The ordinary communicated with au-
thorities at Milledgeville, where it
was learned that owing to the wom-
ans physical condition she could not
be admitted to that institution under
the law and rules of the asylum. Doc
tors testified that she is suffering
from tuberculosis of the spine, that
she is bedridden and a paralytic.
Sheriff James I. Lowry said that
the Jail is not equipped to care for
the woman and as she cannot be
committed to the asylum at Milledge-
vile he asked that the order of the
court committing her to jail be va
Gated.
The Rev. John W., Ham, of the
Baptist Tabernacle, criticised the
law giving the power of rejection
to the superintendent Of institu-
tons and trustees and said that some
machinery, either legal or charitable,
should be created to handle such
cases. He said under the present
rules the asylum at Milledgeville will
only take able-bodied insane people,
persons who can hoe cabbages and
chop wood. He declared that the
Red Cross has done what it can for
the woman. The Home for Incurables
and Battle Hill sanitarium do not
want her and the churches cannot
find place for her.
Mrs. J. E. Bradford, a Red Cross
nurse, told of the woman's -condi-
ton and said that she had done what
she could for the woman at the lat
ter's home. She said that Mrs. Hugh
ey is like a two-year-old infant, I'M
able to care for herself.

FORT VALLEY, Ga, Dec. A
most momentous day in the com
mercial life of central Georgia will
be Wednesday, December 8, when
representatives of the United States
government will formally begin
their campaign to eradicate the Car
culio which has thrust its sting
into the heart of the peach itself
and developed in such numbers that
the industry is threatened.
The United States government,
realizing that in the Fort Valley vi
cinity alone there was in 1920 a
two-million- dollar loss due to the
curculio, and knowing that the past
remedies for the eradication of same,
though vigilantly effected have ut
peach, has turned it's attention ana
money to a scientific study of t''e
elimination of the parasitical insect
Congress in session will, OH
December sixth. through the Geor-
gia senators. be @s|led for an in
n onths of the fiscal year with
which to further scientifically com
bat this enemy of the Georgia fruit
and in the meantime a campaign
against the curculio is being launch
ed in that particular section of the
state, lTOUl luG baIIlSSNlllc
tory through Montezuma, where the
losses have been heaviest.
Three representatives of the
United States bureau of entomology
oliver I. Snapp, E. r. Kellogg and
E. R. Van Leeuwen, are perma-
nently located in Fort Valley with
offices and a laboratory on South
Miller street. There will be other
representatives here from time to
time with a corps of workers work
ing continually in a study and eff
fort to save the Georgia peach.
Wednesday afternoon in the cham
Der of commerce hall in Fort Val
ley these men are going to present
their program for the elimination of
the curculio to the peach growers
of all this territory of central Geor-
gia. In the event that the hall will
not hold the assembly it is plan
ned that the meeting will go two
doors below to the Austin theater
which is more spacious.
1t is an indisputable fact that
the peach has meant more to Geor-
gia and especially to central Geor-
gia, than any of it's industries, the
state being famed for it's luscious
fruit, yield of it's rich, red soil
Just as Georgia roses are said
to be more fragrant than roses
grown anywhere else in the union
so the Georgia peach has been re-
garded far more excellent in its
richness of flavor and in it's beau
ty than the California or any other
peach.

FAMOUS BRITISH
AUTHOR IS SURE
REDS WILL FAIL

NEW YORK.-"The downfall of
international government by the prof.
etariat, as fostered by the soviets of
Russia, is as inevitable as was the
failure of the French revolution.
Russia will return to tolerable con-
ditions of life, to order, health, Sc
curity and prosperity, in the meas
ure that she returns to and obeys
those first principles of social con-
duct and civilized government which
are always and everywhere in opera
ton"
So says Henry Arthur Jones, one
of the most noted Of English play
wrights, who has come to America
to turn his attention for the moment
and only for the moment-to the
writing of photoplay for Jesse
Lasky, head of the Paramount-Art-
craft productions.
Jones recently entered into a con-
troversy with H. G. Wells, foremost
English literateur and economist.
as to Russian government and the
controversy as printed by London
newspapers has drawn the interest
of practically all of thinking English
folks.
What Kind of Order
after his return from Russia a
short time ago I wrote Wells as
follows:
81 notice in an interview on your
return from Russia you summarize
the conditions in Russia in four
words, Hunger, want, but order
This seems to imply that, if only Or
der is maintained, want and hunger
are of secondary Importance. What

kind of order prevails in Russia to-
day." And, How much want" and
How much hunger"
eve have evidence heaped noun
tain high that the hunger and want
il Russia are unimaginable In their
horror and their extent. -.
"'Will you tell the workers OF
England that the order now main
tanned in Petrograd is the kind OF
order you desire to live under? Ar
enforced IL hours day on wages al
starvation level; the right to strike
nay the right to murmur or complain
even denied them under pain OF
death; free speech more cruelty sup
pressed and punished than under the
worst tyranny the world has ever
known-will you tell the workers Of
England that this is the kind of or

Now Seek Capital
"'It was allowed that capitalism
built the great cities of Russia. I'm

have shrunk to about half their for
mer numbers, and are still dimin-
fishing and living in progressive mis-
cry and starvation. Furthermore
the Communist government. now that
it has almost destroyed it's own cap.

to bring it's capital to start its in

of Russia is not the result of Boil
shevist rule, but of Capitalism,
European Imperialism and an
"atrocious blockade" Could any
thing be more illogical?

is decided we shall but toss and
blindly defeat ourselves in ever
growing unrest, social disorder and
