THE SANDMAN STORY
Prote, Ced by George Matthew Adams.

or some terrible misfortune has befall-
On you. which has made you wish 70
hide il from all eyes.
"Rut whatever il is. l will marry
yor and never ask TO behold your face
If won are willing TO help me restore
my estates. and l. will promise TO be
good husband and protect you all
ways"
Now the Princess had always
listened 10 her other suitors while
they told her ;hcy loved her even
though they did not see her face. and
tune hunters But here was a Prince
vho boldly told her the truth, and she
decided ID ACCEPT him. since she needed
some one to help her rule when she
became queen.
Drawing her vcil closer over her
features, the Princess told the Prince
she would marry him. and that very
night the wedding took place. and
while the bride wore rich and beau
tiful robes Of silk and velvet. over her
face was wonderful Veil Of rose
point lace, which hid every feature.
But the Princess had won such a
good husband that she soon fell in
love with him, and one day while she
was weeping because she could not
show her face 10 her husband she
heard a small voice beside her ask
why do you weep? Tell me your
troubles; l may be able 10 help you
The Princess saw beside her a fun
ny looking little creature with an OBJ
long body, his feet ending almost in
a point, while his head was large
and on il he wore a fussy bonnet,
which fell feathery like over his head
and face.
His suit was a shade Of reddish yei-
low, which made the Princess think
Of a corrot. He blinked and shook
and jumped like a jumping jack TO
keep the green featheTy stuff out Of
his eyes. which made the Princess
laugh even through her tears.
Tomorrow I will tell you what she
told him and how he helped her to
take off the veil.

the organization it was stated that
applications for loans totaling $685.
I 600 had been taken at the initial
meeting and were going forward at
once to the federal farm loan bank
at Washington for negotiation.
| The organization took place in the
office of Shipp and Sheppard, attor-
neys. The directors, who are the or
iginal stock subscribers, are w. J.
Josey Dr. E. L. Thurman, DR.. A. j.
( Logan, of Plains, Prof. A. B. Par
ker and j. E. D. Shipp Election of
Officers will take place probably this

Others who attended the organiza-
ton meeting and who it is under
stood, will become shareholders in
the farm loan bank, were J. 7. Boil

Articles of association were signed
at the meeting and papers forward
! ed to Washington for a permanent
| charter.
The Sumter Association is permit
ted to make federal farm loans in
Sumter county and in any other
nearby county which has no associa-
tion of its own. Through the asso-
citation farmers are permitted to bor
row money at percent interest for
a term of sc years, up to so percent
Of the actual valuation of the unim-
proved farm lands, and up to 20 per
cent of the actual value of the in
sured improvements. A payment of
| $40 per year for each 1000 bor-
rowed will completely pay the inter
est and principal in SO years, the life
of the loan. 1t is promised that
whenever the federal farm loan
bank is able to dispose of its bonds
more advantageously the borrowers
will be permitted to reap the benefit
in decreased interest charges, the
policy of the bank being to lend mo-
ney to the farmers under the federal
farm loan act at a very small mar
gin of interest above that paid on Its
! bonds. A limit of $4,000 is fixed
on loans to any one borrower, and
only persons actually engaged III
farming are permitted to borrow
from the farm loan bank. Neither
may the funds borrowed be used for
speculation.
Loan values of property are deter
mined by committee of three direc-
tors of the association, subject to
approval by an agent of the parent
bank. Each borrower is required to
take percent of his borrowing in
capital stock of the federal farm
loan bank, on which he will be paid

main On duty continuously until Mon

tion against possible May Day vio-
lence or radical demonstrations

ums and nails Sunday-May Day

bomb squad, augmented by regulars,
were set to ferret out a number OF
radicals believed to be active in the
attempt to cause a great demonstra-
tion here.

and Jacob Amter, who were held on
charges of criminal anarchy, had
broken the spirit of communist wor!;-
crs who expected to bring about a
demonstration Sunday.

BRITISH PRESS FOR
NEW ULTIMATUM

LONDON, April 30.-An uItima-
tum to Germany. giving her seven
days from May 1 to comply with or
refuse the Allied reparations de
mands was being advocated by the
British representatives to the Allied
conference which began Saturday.
This proposal was opposed by the
French and Belgians on the ground
that it was unnecessary, as the Ger
mans already had had sufficient time.
The French held that the default of
Germany IN her treaty obligations
calls for immediate military and eco
nomic action, and that the note send
ing should come afterward. 1t is
understood the Belgian ministers also
favored this course.

SHELLMAN LEADS.
IN EARLY SHIPMENTS.

SHELLMAN, April 30.-W. X.
Helm made two shipments of May
flower" peaches Thursday, one ship
ment going to New York and the
other to New Orleans. These are
perhaps the first peaches shipped in
Georgia this year, and evidence the
fact that on account Of the climatic
conditions, together with the adapta-
bility of the soil in this section
peaches mature several days earlier
than further north.
The peach growers Of Shellman
and vicinity have organized Peach
Growers Association and will adver-
tise extensively throughout the coun-
try the splendid fruit grown here.
Our growers have followed the in
Of the United States ento-
BIOLOGICAL experts as to pruning, cut
tivatf&n, fertilizing and spraying and
the results show in the beautiful col
or as well as the delicious flavor.
Shellman peach growers shipped
GO cars of good sound peaches last
season and will ship 250 cars this
year We are advised that on ac-
count of the scarcity Of this most
delicious fruit in other states north
Of Georgia, due to the freezes and
frost, the outlook for good prices Is
most encouraging.
