BACK FROM EUROPE
OPPOSING ALLIANCES
PROMINENT GEORGIAN HAS
PUNGENT OPINIONS ABOUT
CONDITIONS THERE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-"With the single
exception of England do not believe
that any OF the European countries
intend to repay the United States the
money we loaned them during the
war"
That is the opinion of Forrest Adair,
ST., president of the Adair Realty and
Trust company, and one OF Atlanta S
foremost business men, who returned
Monday from a transatlantic tour
that carried him into various countries
on the continent.
Mr.. Adair formed some very def
mite, not to say pungent, opinions on
European conditions, particularly with
regard to relations with the United
States. Accustomed to guage condi-
tions from the business mans view
point, he took stock" of things as he
saw them in France, Belgium, Eng
land and other European countries.
And his conclusions are both interest
ing and Illuminating.
THE countries that were our allies
during the war gives us very little
credit and no thanks for what we did
to whip Germany" Mr. Adair declared.
q am mighty glad the United
States kept away from the Genoa con-
ference, and l hope and pray that we
may never get mixed up with Euro
pean politics and intrigue. What |
saw and heard over there convinces
me that the less we have to do with
Europe in international politics the
better off we'll be.
I'm glad | went across, but I'm
gladder to be back. No more Europe
for mine"

HUSBAND AND WIFE
STAY ONE ANOTHER
BATTLE TO DEATH WITH AN
AK AND BUTCHER KNIFE.
CHILDREN WATCH DUEL.

BAD AXE, Mich.-It all started
with quarrel that brought Joseph
Lobert and his wife, pickering, back
from a picnic on Sunday. 1t ended
with the finding of their bodies in one
of the rooms of the farm house,
through which they had fought, she
with a butcher knife and he with any
thing that came to hand, until he
struck his final blows with an AK.
The bodies were found when the
oldest child returned from school late
yesterday, but the news and the ex-
PLANTATION only became generally
known today. 1t all was explained by
Edward, 4, who had sat with his lit
tie sister, 2, and a baby brother, 6
months, in a baby carriage in the
Gated near Elkton. They had seen the
start of the trouble through a win
dow. They had not seen the finish.
Edward, of course, was the only one
able to tell anything. He said papa and
mama had started their fight in the
kitchen
From the Oldest a boy of TO- the
authorities learned that on Sunday his
father and mother, seemingly on good
terms, had gone to the picnic. When
they returned they were quarreling.
The boy said that things appeared
better Monday morning when he left
for school.
At that point little Edwards frag
mentary story of the start of the fight
came. The authorities had to imagine
the rest, That was relatively simple.
The interior of the house was blood
spattered Chairs and tables were
wrecked. Broken dishes were scatter
ed about
The condition of the bodies told the
rest, the story OF hand to hand fight.
His throat was cut and he had been
stabbed several times. Her head was
cut open from the blow of an ak, and
the marks of previous blows showed
on her arms and shoulders. Bruises
showed that crockery and pieces OF
furniture had been used in the fight
before the two duelists CLOSED in"
Neighbors say they do not recall
that the couple had previous fights.
They were regarded as prosperous.

advantage of it.
Representatives of the department
of entomology will be on board the
car and will attend to the sales
Just before the squares of the cotton
are large enough for the weevils to
puncture and deposit their eggs, which
is usually about the time the first cot
ton bloom appears in the field, if there
are any .weevils the cotton should be
busted twice at an interval OF three to
four days. Then watch the field care
fully, and when infested spots are
found dust these spots two or three
times at about three day intervals,
and pick up each time all of the punct-
ured squares Later when weevils are
found infesting the field dust the cot
ton every five or six days.

STAGE SET FOR OPENING.

OBERAMMERGAU.-The simple

hamlet are ready to redeem their SUI

first public presentation in II years.
Every train arriving is bringing hun
dreds of religious spectators, who are
eager to take advantage OF this OPP
portunity, which occurs once IN ~
years, but which has not been pre-
sented since 1910, due to certain un--

STORK HOLDS OWN
IN VOLGA DISTRICT
DESPITE RAVAGES OF DEATH
FROM STARVATION THERE
IS NO BABY SHORTAGE.

BUZULUK, Russia.-T There has
been no baby famine in the Volga val
ley. Even during the six months just
passed when hundreds of thousands
of adults and children have died, the
stork has made valiant fight to keep
apace with the reaper. Accurate sta
tistics are just as lacking on the birth
rate as on the death rate, but an OBJ
server in the famine districts finds on
every hand evidence that the peasant
mothers have been fruitful even when
the land was not.
The Samara district, despite the
ravages of famine among children last
autumn, literally swarms with infants
Thousands of new born babies,
thrust upon famine stricken communl-
ties by undernourished mothers,
probably have died within few days
or weeks after birth. Others are tiny
living skeletons with drawn faces like
old men. But most of them whom the
correspondent saw at railway stations,
in box cars, riding with their mothers
to some more fruitful region and else
where, seemed plump and rosy and
happy.
While the mortality among children
was very high last September, they
have received food from America and
elsewhere since then, which the adults
have not, and the death rate recently
has been higher among men than
among either adult women or children.
Asked why the children lived and
the adults died, bearded old peasant
with clear, honest eyes shining from
his weathered face said it was very
simple.
e&Nhen the children cry for food
we give ~itato them, even if it is the
last we have" he said.

Albany Glee Club Gave
Splendid Program Here
Audience Highly Entertained From
Opening to the Last Number.

Opening to the Last Number.
A sparkling program of music and
fun was offered a good sized Dawson
audience at the Palace theatre Tues
day evening by the Albany high
school glee and mandolin club. From
the opening number, Here We Are,
to the close the performance kept up
enthusiastic interest, and the enter
tainment throughout was colorful with
bright costumes and stage settings.
Old fashioned and modern dancing
constituted some of the most pleasing
numbers. Several vocal selections re-
vealed good solo voices and the chorus
singing was highly pleasing. The
Dixie Trio" made the hit OF the eve
ming, good naturally responding to
repeated encores. The instrumental
music ranged from classical to jazz,
The program was also featured by
popular readings. The Honolulu scene
to the stunning of guitars and mando-
Inns in true Hawaiian melodies proved
a popular finale to program OF pleas
ing variety.
The performance was given under
the auspices of the Dawson high
school, the proceeds to be applied to
the publication of The Tattler," the
Dawson high school annual.

HOPE FOR BALD HEADS
Vitamines in Lettuce Said to Pro-
duce Hair on Billiard Balls.

Eat vitamines and keep your
hair on. That vitamines are pre-
ventive of badness Is a deduction
that may be drawn from the lat
est scientific development of the
chemistry of diet. Those elusive
elements in food known as vita
mines, found in fresh vegetables
which are not too thoroughly
cooked, are found to occupy
most important position in sus-
tanning life.
Four vegetables are known to be
specially strong in furnishing vita
mines. These are cabbage, lettuce,
asparagus and tomatoes. Lettuce,
being procurable the year around
in city markets, furnishes the most
constant supply among the vege-
tables, while oranges and some OF
the other fruits also help out.

the sheriff had not obtained permits
sion of the board to go out of the

Sheriff Woods contended that al

the county, and in such cases he had
charged only fees the law authorized

JOINT DEBATE ON
STATE INCOME TAX
GOVERNOR HARDWICK AND
FORMER GOVERNOR SLATON
ENGAGE IN DEBATE.

ATLANTA, Ga-Gov. Hardwick
and former Gov. Slaton engaged in a
Joint debate concerning the income tax
at a meeting last night of the Atlanta
Automobile Association.
Present System Failure?
Gov. Hardwick contended that the
ad valorem tax system has proven a
failure not only in Georgia but in all
other states; that the state is obliged
to have more revenue when times I'M
prove: that the revenue should be de-
rived from invisible property and in
comes as well as from real estate and
household furniture; therefore, that
the state should dispense with ad va
loren taxation except in case OF ne
cessity and derive its support from a
tax upon incomes
Many Would Escape?
Ex-Gov. Slaton contended that a
state income tax would remove the
tax burden from the majority and
transfer it to the minority; that only
those who keep set OF books, like
merchants, manufacturers, etc, would
be made to pay a state income tax,
while others not keeping books would
escape income taxation; that the leg
islat1re would make extravagant ap-
preparations, and thereby discourage
business and industry.
The debate was heard by large
and representative attendance.
