VALDOSTA KNOWN
AS 'FLYLESS' TOWN
BY e. ID. KING, JR.
Secretary, Board of Health, City of
ValdOsta

VALDOSTA, Ga, May 13.-"The
town without a fly" it what all the
south calls us.
We are not absolutely flyless-bpt
we are headed that way. Our town
has proved education is the greatest
need in making successful a cam
paign against these dangerous pests.
Last year, the first of the organ
lied campaign, saw reduction in
the negro death rate of 35 per cent
over the previous year. Valdosta
is almost rid of flies because we
carried into the schools and the
home intimate facts about the deadly
menace of flies. Having prepared
the public with education, we con-
centrated our fight on the places of
breeding-for it is easier to kill a
million flies before they have wings
than a dozen that can fly.
Opposition developed, but we broke
it down and converted the DIRECTORS
When the owners of two livery
stables refused to clean their own
premises, Recorder Langsdale I'M
earthed a city ordinance under which
he threatened to sentence them to
clean the city streets unless they
joined the board of healths cam
paign.
DR.. T. M Vinson, druggist, main
tanned the anti-fly campaign could
not succeed. He was not only con-
verified, but developed a fly-killer of
his own.
The campaign Of education was
started by setting up fly hatcheries
on street corners to show the filthy
origin and habits Of the pests Fruit
jars were fastened on stands by Boy
Scouts and under a cloth cover were
shown actual fly eggs, larvae and
adult flies.
After inducing everybody to keep
his premises clean, we arranged for
the wide distribution of approved fly
poisons and persuaded hotel and
home owners % build fly screen YES
tibules outside their kitchen doors.
Killing flies is easiest in hot
weather, when they only live a few
days. If you keep at it you will
succeed.

Three Killed by
Lightning Bolt
Near Creenville

GREENVILLE, S. c., May 10
Clifton D. Bolt, 80, superintendent
of the Easley city water and light
plant, and his assistant, A. Cal Nc
Mahan, rs, were killed, supposedly
by electricity in some mysterious
pumping station one mile from
Easley, S. c.
The bodies of the two men were
discovered by a passerby a short
time after the men had gone to the
pumping station, presumably to
remedy some trouble that had arisen
with the machinery. Bolt was lying
just outside the house dead, while
McMahan was in sitting position
inside, with a crowbar across his
legs. Besides few burns on Nc
Mahan's body, neither showed any
sign of violence. The theory is that
a bolt of lightning was conveyed to
the station by the electric supply
wires while the men were in it, dur
ing the severe electric storm that
posed over this section.
An hour or so previous, Miss
Ollie Brown, 20, Of Glennwood Mill,
Easley, was instantly killed in her
room when a bolt of lightning struck
outside the house.

Closed Meeting Sunday
BY LOUIS A. POWELL

CAIRO, Ga, May 14.-The Farm
ers' Cooperative Association was to-
day put on an active working basis,
following final conferences of Off
Gals here Saturday.
The members of the association,
from five counties of this section,
gathered here yesterday in mass
meeting, heard splendid addresses
from J. J. Brown. commissioner Of
agriculture, and J. H. Mills, state
Farmers union president, and elect
ed permanent officers.
A temporary organization was
formed on April Is, but the meet
ings yesterday and today have eff
fected a permanent organization,
and the board Of directors is now en-
gagged in working out the problems
connected with the actual market
ing Of the products now on hand.
The meeting Friday, which was
well attended, was very enthusiastic,
and perfect harmony prevailed. 1t
was called to order by the presi-
dent-elect, T. M. Chastain, Of Cairo,
and prayer was offered by Rev. w.
c.. Jones, also of this place.
J. H. Mills then introduced j. j..
Brown, who addressed the meeting
on the benefits to be derived from
cooperative marketing of farm prod
ucts.

timed, land I am going to do all
I can to perfect the various neces-
sary organizations this year."
His splendid address was unusual
Iy we'll received, for the members
of the association realize that 1t was
due to his initiative and work in
the early stages Of the organization
period that the wonderful success
that it is. Mr.. Brown studied the
California associations and then in
troduced his program Of cooperative
marketing in this state.
He put men into the field sew
eral months ago to begin and carry
on the organization work and told
them that if they needed help he
would come. Today these organic
ers are reviewing their accomplish
ments with pride, and they are prais-
ing the cane growers for their en-
thusiasm in making the association
possible.
Following Mr.. Browns address,

LADY ASTOR VISITS
CHILDHOOD HOME
BY JOHN ARCHER CARTER

CHARLOTTESVIL Va, May
13.-Lady Nancy Astor today bids
goodbye to Mirador, her girlhood
home. After three precious days
in old Albemarlel county, she is
taking a train for Chicago, once
more to brave the maelstrom of
Americas clamorous hospitality.
After days and nights of the
severe strain of continuous recep-
tons and never ending demands for
words from her lips, Nancy Lang
horne came "home" to rest. Tues.
day night last she arrived. Today
she said she was fit again.
Though she has not been stopping
at Mirador, the farm where her ia
Their, Chilly" Langhorne, establish,
ed his large family after he had
| won wealth in Richmond, Lady
Aston has been near neough to steal
| an hour or so now and then to stroll
about the rugged scenes of her ad.
venturous days. Her party has
been entertained at Rose Hill, the
home of Mrs. w. r. Massey, an old
friend. Rose Hill is but few miles
from Mirador. 4
When she reached Greenwood
the nearest railroad station, Tuesday
night, Lady Aston Immediately set
out for Rose Hill. She was very
tired. But one night in the country
air Of old Virginia seemed complete
ly to refresh her and though her
friends advised against it, she made
a hurried motor trip to Mirador
anxious to see the old place again
at the very first opportunity.
Wednesday afternoon the country
side turned out to give her formal
welcome. Many playmates of hel
youth, their fathers and mothers
| and the usual number of curious
| newcomers in the community gath
| cred at the tiny church near Mi
rador, where she once was com
| municant, to shake her hands anC
listen to her sparkling epigrams.
Yesterday Lady Aston was enter
tanned here at the University of Vir
GINA, but Thursday was her own, tt
do with as she pleased. Miradol
| claimed much of the sunshiny day
| Mirador, where the honeysuckles
sing into blomo, and the rochards
with their labyrinth of gaudy trees
are tossing perfume everywhere, Mi
rador, where the big brick mansion
| smiles across the lawn to welcome
| home the prodigal.
Traipsing idly about the farm
where she graduated from tomboy
into beautiful maturity, Lady Aston
reveiled in a day of recollections
| There were stables where father
"Chillys" blood horses were groom
ed, and from that rock she had leap
ed to the back of a spirited ANNA
to follow the fox. hounds all over
| Albemarle county and down the
hill, over the fence, was where she
used to join the boys of the neigh
borhood, fishing pole over her Shout
der, and can of bait in her hand.
The sun was shining and the birds
singing at Mirador on Thursday
The British parliament seemed, oh
so far away.
Many poor hearts of Albemarle
have been cheered by this visit OF
Lad Astor's, for in her ramblings
about the old home place she has
stopped at shack after shack to in
quire how Aunt Sarah, Uncle Nose
and all the rest of you all have
been comm on" To all she is the
same.
"Lawd, Miss Nan, you amt chang
ed one bit, honey"
If she heard it once she heard il
a hundred times, for Nancy Aston
has been home.

Static Not Always
Cause Of the Queer
Noises in Radio Set
BY G. A. Her
Radio Engineer

Anyone who has listened in on a
radio set during the approach of a
thunder storm has little new to dis
cover in the way of frying, kissing,
bubbling and suffering noises. It
is only natural for the listener to
wonder where they all come from.
In general there are just two
kinds of radio noises; the ones that
can't be avoided and those that can
In the first class are all of the
natural ones that result from cleo
trical disturbances in the ether,
through which all radio waves
travel. It must be remembered that
these waves follow the same laws
and behave in exactly the same man.
ner as the waves created "to ORDER
by man-made machinery.
The second class of noises is the
result of faulty wiring, or in many
cases imperfect or improperly con-
structed batteries. Wires must be
tight. It is for this reason that so
many who build radio sets take
special care to solder all joints, even
though binding posts provide a
seemingly tight grip on the wires.
Another cause Of queer noise in
the radio receiver may be found in
the battery.
To great many people a bat
terry is just a battery, and need only
be considered from a standpoint of
voltage and ampere-hour capacity.
It is true that these things are of
prime Importance, but there are
other features of construction de-
serving of far more attention than
is commonly given them.
An IMPORTANT feature of the "B"
battery, for example, is that It
must be able to hold it's charge for
long periods not only beca Sc Of
economy, but because electrical leak
age from cell to cell or from positive
to negative posts of any particular
cell is distinctly a noise producer.

This question, propounded here
this week, has been variously an
swered, for Southern California har-
bors many seekers after happiness.
They are of many creeds and cults,
all eager in their efforts at self
expression.
The May festival of the Metaphy-

as usual has brought together a
large number Of earnest persons,
chiefly women. Frances Speeyer,
metaphysical teacher and healer, is
one of the leaders in thought and
word at the convention and she has
pointed out one Of the roads to
happiness.
That road lies in the search for
truth. The search for truth re-
quires action, and she says the ma

among scientists of all kinds. Mo-
ton without interruption should be
the goal of all. In other words, it is

LATEST INVENTIONS
ELIMINATE STATIC

CHICAGO, May 13.-By the AS
soclated Press. )-Eliminatio of the
cracking and buzzing accompanying
radio signals which have proved one
OF the greatest obstacles in the de-
Velopment of that science, has been
accomplished by United States army
experts, it was announced today.
The invention, which separates all
static noises from the radio signal,
was perfected by Major J. o. Maui
borgne, signal officer of the Sixth
corps area, and DR.. Louis Cohen of
george Washington university, con-
suItlng engineer Of the war depart
ment, after more than two years
experimentation.
The separation of signals from
static noises caused by the electrical
changes in the atmosphere is accom-
pushed by drain coil Of wire, the
length or which varies with the dis
lance from which signals are re-
celVsI. The strength of the signal
Is not affected by the draining proc
esS, according to DR.. Cohen, and
the signals may even be amplified.
Another recent invention is a res
onance wave coil, by which a radio
receiving set may be plugged into
an ordinary electric light socket and
radio signals received as well as with
an aerial. This invention, on which
q dozen patents are pending, was
perfected by Major General George
y. Squier, chief signal officer of the
army.
A similar invention was announced
here by B. F. Miessner several days
ago. Miessner, who was a govern
ment expert during the war, said
his work had been separate from the
government investigations.
The draining coil was hooked up
for the first time yesterday with
Major General Squier's device and
found to work perfectly, DIR. Cohen
said. Signals were picked up with
perfect clarity when static condi-
tons were especially bad.
The electric power line method of
transmission holds tremendous COM
mercial possibilities, according to
DIR. Cohen, who said that power
companies had been cooperating in
the experimental work fully.
Eliminating static noises has
been one Of the most serious prob
lens in radio development" he said.
due to the electrical charges in
the atmosphere, especially in sum-
mer, even the largest stations must
shut down at times.
The device perfected by Major
Mauborgne and myself separates
the static noises from the signal,
grounds the noise and leaves the
signal clear and distinct.
'This is new and radical depar-
ture in receiving radio signals. The
method consists in receiving the
radio signal, passing it through a
very long coil which drains off the
interfering disturbances and leaves
the full strength signal without
noises"

CANE ASSOCIATION is PUT
ON ACTIVE BASIS AT CAIRO

permanent officers were elected.
Proxies had been mailed all mem
bers for use in case they could not
attend.
Officers Named
T. M. Chastain, of Cairo, was
elected president; J. A. Pope, of Bar
Ward, of Cairo, second vice presi-
rotary and treasurer.
The following were named as di-
rectors: T. M. Chastain, L. r. Max
well and Guy Harrell, Grady county,
G. S. Barwlck, Thomas county; G..
c. Hopper of Quitman, from Brooks
and Lowndes counties.
The meeting expressed regret that
H. N. Randolph, attorney for the
war finance corporation, was not
able to attend, he having been de-
tanned in Atlanta on important bus
mess. A letter from him was read
in which he pointed out the benefits
to be derived by the farmers in
standardizing and grading their
products and in preparing them for
the market.
Resolutions were passed calling
upon the senators from this state
and the representatives from this
section to use their every influence
to have the war finance corporation
continued until July /, 1923, and to
vote and work for the passage of
the Norbeck-King bill, creating the
national farmers finance union with
a capital of $200,000,000 for the pur-
Af fiYoo 6nY1ar6o11A 70,
associations. The resolutions also
extended hearty thanks to the state
officials and others who have as
sisted in bringing the association in
to being, and asked the aid Of state
and national departments and state
and national farmers union bodies in
marketing the products Of the as
ISOLATION.
The members also pledged their
patriotic support and cooperation
to the association and it's officials.
The success Of the Syrup associa-
ton is deemed very important here
in view of the fact that all sections
Of the south have their eyes set on
| cooperative marketing schemes.
Though work of forming similar as
sociations has already been under
taken, none of them have yet
reached the perfected stage.
Loans Are Available
The laws which make such organ.
izations legal have already been
passed in this state, and the federal
officials have recognized the merits
of cooperative marketing schemes.
AS result, the Syrup association is
already in position to secure loans
from the war finance corporation.
and this will be done shortly.
The success Of the Syrup associa-
ton has attracted the attention of
the Florida can growers and organi-
ers are this afternoon and tonight
making speeches in several places
over the cane section Of that state
in the interest of forming a similar
association there.
The directors will meet here again
next Thursday, it was announced to-
day, for the purpose of actually put
ting on the market the 10000 cases
of syrup now in the hands of the
association. Cairo rer Tins the CEN
ter Of the organization, though can
ming plants will be opened both here
and at Quitman.
