Improved Roads
Great Help to
Rural Schools,

The motor bus is proving an I'M
portant factor in the centralized
rural school movement in various
sections of the country. According
to E. P. Bass, Manager OF Stoval
& Yeoman Motor Co., local dealer
in tires and accessories made BY
the Firestone Tire & Rubber Com
pany, who recently received some
interesting data from the company
there are still 212,000 one-roonI
schools in the United States
The information shows that these
schools are of the pioneer type and
can not possibly meet the needs OF
modern agricultural life
In a preface to bulletin issued
|by Firestone Ship By Truck, T T
Claxton, commissioner CT the us.
Bureau of Education, says better
roads are essential to better rural
schools. He says. also, that the i'm
proyement and consolidation o.
,mraI schools and their use as sociaI
Icenters have marked influence
upon the prosperity and intellectual
development Of the people in the
rural districts
1t seems thit farmers, wherever
approached on this subject, are
unanimously in favor OF the con
solidated school.

Georgia Farms to 4
Have Electric Power.

Atlanta, Ga, June 15.--Withthe
continued development Of hydro.
electric power in Georgia and the
South on big scale, electricity
for lighting and rs a power for OPP
Grating farm machinery will be
easy to obtain, according to experts
here. Possibly the day is not far
distant, it is stated, when most
farm houses in thickly settled coun.
ties will be lighted with electricity;
housewives on the farms have cleo
trio washers and irOners for laundry
purposes, electric motors for their
sewing machines and electric heat
ers in their bathrooms.
Probablp no region in the world
has experienced such Developments
in the hydro-electric industry as
North Georgia which has gained for
the State the name throughout the
country of being The Electric Hub
of the South" The developments
of the Georgia Railway and Power
Company covering a period many
have made Atlanta the center OF the
most extensive electrical transmits
sion system in the United States.
representing an investment OF many
millions of dollars, having practl-
cally unlimited horsepower which
is used not only to light the streets.
businesg establishments and homes
in many towns but to run street cars
and drive the machines in many
industries throughout the territory.
The Georgia company's lines are
now connected with every large
power company in the South so
that in case OF emergencies unlimit-
ed quantities of power may be OBJ
tanned. Georgia, however, is in the
position of supplying all the power
needed and further developments
will be- made as rapidly as capitol
can be obtained.
Well informed students of econo-
mics declare that THE Empire
State Of the South", as the result OF
Putting Georgia Mountain Streams
To work" has experienced an in
dustrial development during the
last nine years never before epuall-
ed in a similar development any
where in the united States.

Tire Abuse Costly.

(. There are two ways Of mistreatlng
a tire, one neglect and the other
downright misuse. TO get proper
mileage on the investment involved
it is necessary to give a tire occa-
sional attention, especially impor-
tant being the requirement that the
initiation be kept up to the pres
crioed figure.
but it is equally important, "
says E. P. Bass, Manager StovalI
& Woman Motor Co., dealer in
United States tires, that abuse be
avoided. How can a tire give 2
good account of itself if it is bump
ed and scraped and hammered!
Even the Lest tires will look like
poor ones under such treatment
for they simply cannot stand VI
under it,"

something regarding the cases Of the
indicted ball players and gamblers.
II may be bit startling to fans to
have tho name of Eddie Collins men
toned in the scandal even by players
who have been indicted. However, his
name has been whispered about by
some Of those players recently 1t was
only short time ago that tho report
came from n South Side place frequent
cd by Claude Williams and Joe Jack
son. both Of whom are in Chicago. or at
least were no less than Il week ago.
The yarn supposedly told by them
and passed around did not relat" 10 tho
world series with the Reds. but to the
final series Of that same season be
tween the White Sox and Detroit. There
was hot fight on for third place be @
tween Detroit and New York. The
White Sox had just clinChcd the pen
nant and had nothing left to play for
by finishing third. the Tigers would get
cut out of the world series gate.
There were signs of marked friendship
between White SoX players and the
Tigers.
According to the story now going the
rounds. the SoX weren't trying to beat
Detroit. because they wanted their De-
troit friends to got that bonus for land .
ing in third place. Not only that. but
there now ar" yarns that the Sox play
orS were betting money on Detroit in
the individual games of that series.
One of the indicted players is said TO
be ready to testify that the White Sox
approached him on the proposition of
placing a bet on Detroit in one of the
games" Detroit won the three games
from tho White SoX and would have got
tho money, which was held up. but Carl
Mays was rcinstatcd and the games he
won cut out Detroit. the Yankees taking
the money.
Indications are that it will be a long
time before the states attorney can
prepare the baseball cases for trial, even
if there is no pressuc brought to drop
it entirely. In the meantime Judge
Lands has full power to investigate any
rumors he thinks detrimental to base =
ball. lie didn indicate what he might
do.

the attorney thought he had strong

want them to be tried.
"And. furthermore. do you know
