Farms In South
Show Big Gains
Relative Increases Are Greater Than
For Country AS A Whole

ATLANTA, Oct, 22-Agricultural
experts here have compiled an inter-
esting digest from recent census re-
ports showing the agricultural pro-
gress of the country as compared
with the figures of the last previous
census in 1910. When gssensidered
separately. the experts note, that rela-
tive gains in the south are slightly
greater than for the country as a
whole. A few of the figures, as given
out today, may be of interest as in
dicative of Southern progress gener-
ally.
Value of farm property of all kinds
in the 1920 census for the whole U.
S. is placed at ST 1925. 9So.O73, COM
pared with $4,000 $4,000 as returned
in the 1910 census. The south's por-
ton in 1920 is placed at $21 500 700,
600, or 81 per cent of the whole, as
against $1O.761 100000 for 1910 or &c
per cent of the entire return. The val
Tie of all farm products of every char
acter is placed at $25419,459 1874 in the
census of 1920 as against $11 1874 ,9o8,
900 in the reports of 1910.
According to the 1920 census, the
crop values of the whole country were
$14,755. 1884, This means what grew
on the farms aside from live stock and
other farm products. In the previous
census, crop values were placed at
S5,33l ,850,6S3. OF the total crop val
ues, the South's portion as estimated
in 1920 was $6095, 785,0l4, which is
$685., 100000 greater than those for the
whole country ten years previously.
And in live stock and other products
the proportion of the south is similar
1t is inevitable that soil and climate
conditions of the South will conspire
to increase its comparative agriculture
al progress, declared Hon. ]. J. Brown
Georgia's Commissioner of Agricult-
ure, today. Most of the agricultural
migrants who come to this country
land in New York. They drift from
there to the West This has operated
to the advantage of the West in the
matter of development. But even in
the West, they are tearing the super
ior advantages of the South. The
next census is likely to manifest a
still more pronounced Southern gain.
The South's comparative gains would
probably have been greater but for
her clinging so long and so generally
to the one crop ieda, and her slow
turn to diversification.

1t is a great pleasure for me tc

won for it distinct place as a mos
constructive institution for increasing
more sympathetic relationship be

ening the home ties upon which The
strength of the nation depends.

Do You Have Your
Mail Delivered?

If SO, is your house numbered, is it
correctly numbered?
Have you mail receptacle
If not you will soon receive letter
or a personal call from Postmaster.
Will Adams, requesting you to put up
a number and be sure that it is the
right one and also to place some kind
of box for the carrier to put the
mail in when he calls without having
to wait until you come to the door to
receive it.
October 10Th was set aside by the
Post Office Department at Washing
ton as National Census Day. On this
day all carriers were requested to re-
port to the postmaster all patrons
whose house was not numbered and
those that did not have box up for
the reception of mail. The post
master was then to request all those
reported to him to supply themselves
with any or all ofthe above if they
wanted the carrier to continue to de-
liver their mail. There are literally
millions of letters going to the Dead
Letter Office each year because of
insufficient and incorrect addresses.
If everyone will observe few SIM
pie rules when they are mailing letters
we can reduce the dead letters to a
fraction of what they are now. Al
ways address mail to street and the
number. Always place your return
address on the envelope, giving your
street and number. Ask your cores
pondents to place your street and
number on the mail when they write
you. Before mailing be sure that it
is correctly addressed, sealed and that
it has enough stamps on. If you do
this very little mail will be lost or I'M
delivered. House numbers can be Sc
cured at all hardware and l0c stores
in the city Mail receptacles can al
so be secured at hardware stores very
cheaply

Houdini the famous ilusionist and

melodrama, Terror Island" will be
the attraction at the Grand Theatre
tonight (Monday.) To save some
sunken treasures of ships that have
been sent to the bottom forms one
motive of the tale. But there is, in
addition, skull shaped pearl upon
which a mans life depends; a lovely
girl kidnapped b yher villianous rel
atives; submarine built on a startling

enough thrills, it is declared to make
the ordinary adventure picture seem
tame in comparison.
Above all, Houdini himself in under
water stunts that draw upon his ex-
ceptional powers to the last degree is
the outstanding feature of the picture.
He escapes from closely bound safe
while under water, fights a smashing
battle with a diver on the bed of the
ocean, and performs other hair-raising
feats that are declared to surpass any

Ford Predicts No
General Strike
Says There Should Be No Cut and
Wont Be Any Cut In Wages

NEW YORK, Oct. 23-Henry Ford
predicted there would be no railroad
strike, as the government will not
permit it." He said the strike was
precipitated by the inordinate greed
of bankers for profits, the bankers de-
manding wage cuts, which he held
are unnecessary.
"The roads will have to give in he
said. There should not be and will
not be cut in wages"
Railway service would be improved
if the railways were divorced from
Wall Street Management, Mr.. Ford
said.
Asked regarding a report that his
cars were to be reduced in price again
he said:
Nothing To It.. Absolutely I'm
true.

zoo Executives Hold
Meeting In Cleveland
Chief of Engineers, Stone Issues A
Statement Sunday

CLEVELAND, O., Oct, 23- A
conference between the executives and
other leaders of the Brotherhoods took
place here Sunday. During the day
there came from the council room a
statement signed by Warren S. Stone
declaring that the employees were
forced to stand on their constitutional
rights, but that the brotherhoods. are
awaiting any development offering
solution
About 200 men will represent the
employees at the meeting called in
Chicago, a majority OF them leaving
Cleveland Tuesday night
Stones statement was as follows:
with regard to the position of en-
ployees of railroads at this time can
only say that their representatives are
patiently awaiting any developments
that would appear to offer a solution
OF the situation. We are not now or
have we been. DESTROYS of being a
party to the precipitating of the strike.
But when it becomes quite apparent
that the railroads propose not only to
reduce wages, but to take from those
Pemployees practically all the condition
of service that they have obtained for
many years, and the railroad labor
board is unable to or fails to give us
any assurance that the interests of the
employees will be protected from such
an onslaught of the interests that con-
troll the transportation lines of the
country, nothing is left for the employ
ees but to stand on their constitutions
al rights and to retire from service
of these carriers.

Christian Churches
Power Against War
Address Of Mrs. G. o. Robinson At
Providence, R. l.

Providence, R. l., Oct, 20 The
Christian Church, comprising all de-
nominations has unrivaled means OF
using its power against war, Mrs.
George o. Robinson OF Pasadena, Cal.
told the Woman's Home Missionary
Society of the Methodist Church at its
annual meeting here today.
, "At's breadth of organization its
ability to reach large masses from the
pulpit and to secure formal resolu-
tons from all varieties of mass bodies
through its laymen and its preachers
its weighty influence-all give to the
Christian Church in America such an
opportunity as has never before pre-
sented ITSELF said Mrs. Robinson.
Concerted action on its part will
convince the world that the Christian
church is impregnably founded upon
the Ten Commandments, the Golden
Rule and the teachings of Christ.
Think of the influence such mass
movement of the Christian people here
in America would have upon the peo-
pie of other races and nations. Every
where we should find that our action
had given encouragement to the peo-
pies of all lands-such encouragement,
nc would orod,,re recultc that ctatec.
men would be obliged to heed.
Leaders of American Christianity
help us to count one in seeing and
using the greatest opportunity ever
presented to the Christian church"

a specific provision was put into the
bill as follows:
That this act shall not be construed
to authorize the exchange of bonds or
other obligations of any foreign gov
eminent or cancellation of any part of
such Indebtedness except through pay
ment thereof"

and the approximate amount of ad-
vanecs were not known.
Fixed arrangements for repayment
were not made, it said and arrange
nents in regard to interstate rates
