ers, meeting at noon at the court
houseJ reported that the campaign

500 was the original goal, the COM
-mittees continued this afternoon, de-
termined to sign up as many bond
buyers as possible so that ample funds

tial, artistic and as attrctive, as pos
siblie.

Workers to Celebrate,
All the workers in the swimming
pool bond campaign will gather at
the community club house at 6 o'clock
tonight as guests of the four leading
women's clubs of the city at buff
fet luncheon to participate in a gen
eral iollification and celebration of
the successful elimination of the
campaign.
'It will be an impromptu affair,
without any set program" said Pres
ident Cargill, who was bubbling over
with enthusiasm at the putting over
of this project, which has been so
close to his heart. "The American
Legion workers, the Lions, Rotarians
and Kiwanians will be there, and in
addition we have invited the MEM
bers of the board of education, who
really are custodians of the Play
ground, the county commissioners,
and the mayor and city council. There
will be singing and general good
time. We NAV want to bring one or
more of the talented club ladies from
the kitchen or the serving room and
have them sing or recite for us, and
someone may want to speak. 1t will
be entirely informal-just jollifi-
cation.

"Then Thursday afternoon we
hope actually to break ground for the
pool. Maybe it would be a good idea

Snake Eggs Found
Under Setting Hen

six genuine snake eggs, over
which an Andersonville, Ca, hen
clucked proudly Sunday, were
brought to Atlanta Monday by F..
Reddick, colored railway postal
clerk says the Atlanta Journal. "He
got them from Easterlin Brothers,
merchants at Andersonville, who took
them from the hen which claimed
parentage.
'The half dozen reptile fruit
were found in a nest with several
authentic hen eggs, they said. The
hen had been proudly setting upon
the whole batch.
"The snake eggs were about the
size Of pigeon eggs, white, with
soft, tough shells. The hen had
mashed them a bit, and they were
stuck together in a cluster by the
soft shells. When touched, the
wriggl;ng reptile within could be
felt.
"When brought to the Journal
news rooms, a number of interested
people doubted as to the actual par
entage of the. eggs, so an operation
was performed upon one of them.
"a little infant snake. marked very
much like a copperhead moccassin,
emerged from the egg, and squirmed
around on the window sill. 1t was
about eight inches long, had mar
row brown hour -glass-shaped spots
like copperhead. It was estimated
that he would have naturally hatched
in about a week.
"The Andersonville hen. according
to reports, is still clucking very
angrily."

YOU AND
MIST BE CONVINCED NO
uIJMAN PROBLEM is GIN
sOIUBLE'' IF RIGHTLY AP-
PREACHED.

Ess than two months ago, we
y had it on the authority of Pre-
u Llold George that the Irist
-,obIem was insoluable. That his
,,.simisfic view was shared by the
.5or members of the British cabinet
s,e evidenced by the preparations
Aot we're going forward to send
roro soldiers to Ireland and increase
40 repressive measures.
= # looked very much as though
H. world was about to witness
rreate tragedies in Ireland than any
hat had gone before.
w. Today, as the result of negotia-
4ons for which the premiers of the
prtisb Dominions seem to have
bsen D largely responsible, the Sin
ssmabIe" Irish problem has been
solved.
The official announcement has not
ro been made but it is generally
understood that it only remains to
Emf the finishing touches to the COM
Promise agreement.
Today three months before the
disarmament conference is to meet
n Washington, many pessimists
me predicting that the problems
which it will face are "insoluable"
and that the only possible answer to
them is another war, more horrible
than the last one.
1t would be the greatest folly to
underestimate the difficulties which
will confront the delegates when
they meet in Washington.
But to accept the pessimistic view
that these difficulties, great as they
are, is worse than folly.
No human problem is insoluble if
approached.

Farm Loans VIII Be
Easier. Says Harris

ATLANTA, August 9.-Within the
next six months farmers of Georgia
and of the country will be able to
borrow money more easily for their
crop operations next year as a result
of the passage of the Norris bill by
congress, it is announced by United
States Senator William J. Harris,
who is in. Atlanta. By January / /,
1922 about $28O,000,000 will be
available for farm loans through the
War Finance corporation, according
to Senator Harris.
The most important feature of the
new law will be that it will permit
banks in all parts of the country to
discount their agricultural paper
and clear away many obstacles which
have stood in their way toward fl
nancing the farmers heretofore.
"This bill means that the banks
can go ahead and finance the farm
ers with practically a clean slate
as far as the future is concerned" !"
Senator Harris declared. at will elimi
nate the frozen loans they have been
forced to carry and will enable them
to function as far as the farmer is
concerned practically on a normal
basis. The hanks are not to be blan'-
ed for the situation that has existed.
They have done their sharesand much
more and the provision of the Norris
bill will bring them relief as much
as relief will be given the farmer. "

He points out that in every coun-

tuberculosis is increasing.
In France, where water drinking
is practically unknown, this French
doctor says, that there are about
100000 tuberculars, which means
that over five per cent of the people
are afflicted The white plague
