the order of the comptroller of the

by Mr.. Hoover.
At the same time the presidents

Mr.. Harding broke his silence re-
garding Mr.. Hoover after repeated
efforts had been made without re-
suit to secure confirmation OF the
statement issued by the former food
administrator at New York last
night. Mr.. Harding simply said that
the whole question had been closed
satisfactorily.
Asked about the conditions laid
down by Mr.. Hoover, including the
reorganizing of the commerce de-

piled:
I'VE are in perfect accord Of

NEW PLAN On

Action to be Taken is Being
Discussed by the Harding
Administration Heads.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-A new
plan for enforcement of prohibition
is being discussed as a prospective
policy of the Harding administration.
1t contemplates abolishing the pres

the treasury and justice departments
and sentelization OF full responsible

This plan may be one of the early

quite a thrill by coming within an
ace of escaping from an internment
camp at Fort Mcpherson through
wonderfully executed piece of fancy
tunnelng such as one rarely meets
except in the prison escapes recorded
in romantic novels.
Today these two men are peaceful

Federal prison, which they have made
into one of the model farms Of this
part of Georgia. Moreover, they have
brought their youthful sweethearts
from Germany, have been married and
are devoting their lives to becoming
perfect American citizens. Mighty
useful members of the community
they have become, by their example
of a farming skill and efficiency,
models of which are 10 badly needed

Their whole story is one of rare
romance, adventure and efficiency.

CONFEDERATE COUNTY RE
UNION PROPOSED.

The effort to have a county re-
union of Confederate Veterans on
July IS, which as the birthday of
General Forrest, is a state legal holt
day, should be furthered in Henry
County.
There are only about seventy vet
Grams in Henry County now, and
each year numbers of these valiant
CID soldiers answer the final bugle
call, so that there are, for the most
OF them, only a few more years at
best, in which to enjoy reunions,
tn be together and to be honored.
The most OF those of this county
were brothers-at-arms, fighting for
the Confederacy in the same com
pany or regiment, and a county re-
union is most practicable, because
they will like to be together, and
because the trip to the big reunions
is often too difficult for many of
them to attend.
A county confederate reunion also
gives an opportunity to acquaint
tho younger generation of today with
men who defended this county in its
darkest hour. 1t would refresh Con-
federate ideals of service and sacri-
flee, than which there have been
no equal in history. 1t would
strengthen in youthful and older
hearts love for the southern home

VACATION.

Next week some fifteen hundred
boys and girls in Paris under fiji
teen years of age will be released
from the school room for twelve
glorious weeks of joyous freedom.
No more readin', writin, or rithmatic
for ninety blissful days! No school
bells, nor roll calls!
For the most of them, all too
soon will the happy days pass, and
again before they realize 1t, Sep
tcmber will have rolled around, and
cchool bcap again.
Where and how will these hun
dreds Of precious little lads and
lassies spend their vacation? Have
thoughtful parents planned for them
a trip to the country or some other
special treat, that will brighten their
summer, and strengthen their grow
ing bodies for next falls school SEES
sion?
Youngsters have right to a happy
vacation. They should be induced
to laugh and play and enjoy
most of their care free days. A man
or woman who has known no jolly
childhood is most pitiful. In such
an persons life, there is always
something lacking, which neither
time nor wealth in later days can
bring back. There is void, that
nothing can fill.
Play is the kiddies' world. They
live in an atmosphere of their own
making, which is more real to them
than the realities, which that parent
who lacks a vision, trys to force
upon them. Innately, they know
they have the right TO lew happy
years of just play, before the re-
sponsibilities of life beset them, and
in the minds of most educators and
psychologists, a child who is at the
proper time allowed a playtirne, is
the more fitted to assume life's
cares, is the more apt to be able
to solve life's problems
A happy vacation for the children
then! Away with that abomnible
