duces so Much

You just ought to go the Curb
Market Saturday morning, it's lust

elderly lady who has lived in Fitz-

One citizen remarked that he was
surprised that Ben Hill county had
produced so much in the food line
What surprises me is the amount the
people buy here" said another. "Why
hotel man bought a zinc wash tub
1ull OF garden peas at one time and
all the chickens one man brought in.
and a lady who keeps a boarding
house bought twelve dozen eggs and
twelve quarts of strawberries while
they they were still in the luxury
line"
People are beginning to see that
the curb market is but simple
means for the person who has some
thing to sell to find the persons who
wish to buy.

EUROPE MUST PAY
AMERICAN LOANS
Harding Puts Viviani on Notice
"No Cancellation
GERMANY MUST PAY
United States to Consider In
IDENTITIES Collectable
(By international News service)

WASHINGTON, April 2.-On two
broad questions of international pol
icy the attitude of the Harding Ad-
ministration has already been made
clear to Rene Viviani, the French
special envoy to the United States.
One is that the United States will
stand solidly on the principle that
Germany is responsible for the hor-
rors of the world war and must pay
for it to the full extent of her ability.
The other is the United States has
finished playing the financially ben
evolent big brother to the whole
world and is beginning to take stock
OF her assets. Looming large among
these assets are debts aggregating
ten billion dollars which European
governments owe to the United
States and have yet given no indica-
ton of paying
Viviani has been told, it is under
stood as politely as possible, that if
there has been any hope by France
or any other European countries
that these sums might be struck off
of the international ledgery, the 6opG
had best be forgotten quickly.
Viviani was informed that the
quicker three debtor nations get their
obligations on some sort of sound
fiscal basis with regular interest pay
ments the better it will piease the
United States.
1t is said that Viviani has assured
the United States that France fully
recognizes her debt to the United
States and desires to undertake the
liquidation of the three billion dollars
she owes as soon as she is financially
able to do so.
