Anniversary dates In the vicinity
of Boston, Lexington and Concord
were the occasion of big celebrations
last week, sham battles and thrilling
rides were put on by a mimic Revere
and Dawes with a big calvary escrt
and their arrival at each town was the
signal for patriotic exercises to begin.
Boston will complete her exercises
on May lst with Centenary celebra-
ton of her city government. The pre-
liminary celebrations marked the
147th anniversary of course ct hap
pened in April of rs. Hardly a school
boy now alive but remembers (about)
that famous day and year.
GROWING YOUNG"
THE world is SO tulI OF a number
of things" as Robt L. Stephenson has
put it, the times are so busy and
bright with new discoveries, that il
tends to keep the older people younger
as they are too active and interested
to let go and retire as they were wont
to do formerly.
In business the grandtatners keep or
going refusing to become chimney
corner ornament or oracle, while the
grandmothers it is said were never
before so much in evidence at even
ing affairs and the increasing orders
for evening gowns for the elderly wo-
men is matter of note among mod
istes.
Also all sorts of reJuvenating exper-
iments are made for the sake of both
health and beauty. Serums and sur
gerry are eagerly tried with sometimes
miraculous results. These experiments
are so delicate and so costly that
only the rich can be the first to test
them out 1t used to be the free elm
les for the poor that gave either sur
geons or quacks their best chance
to practice out their new methods and
discoveries.
In line with the made in Georgia
Week campaign we offer these figures
for general and comparative inform
alton. which we gather from the an
nual report of Hal NJ Stanley.
The twelve principal manufacturing
kities of Georgia, their population,
and the number of people engaged in
manufactures, including firm mem
bers. salaried employees, and wage
earners.

BUNcoING THE FARMER I

BUNCOING THE FARMER Farmers who
may believe that all their troubles will disappear
as mist before the rising when dirt" farmer
IS added to the Federal Reserve Board will be in
terested in what the Wall Street Journal has to say
on the subject
1T seems cruel to set the farmers to chasing such.
E will-o'-the wsp as this which so many of them
have been made to believe would make money cas-
Ter for them The politician dares not tell them
that it can do nothing of the sort"
That is exactly the Farmer representation
wont change one ota the policies of the board for
the good and sufficient reason that its influence
VIII be wholly disproportionate to the claims that
will be made on it.
One dirt farmer member of the Federal Reserve
board will have no power to control or modify it's
practices, He will be a voice in a multitude He
can suggest reforms until dooms day without get
ring one OF them through unless he can bring his
colleagues around to his point of view
The farmers are being handed nostrums not
real remedies The politician is at the old trick
keeping up appearances. If congress in its heart
sincerely sought to improve the condition of agri-
culture it would go at its task in a whole hearted
manner and strike at the fundamental ills-the
extortion of our marketing and distribution system
being one of them.
The farmer lays his trouble up to the Federal
Reserve Board. SO do the balance of the people
But it should not be overlooked that behind the
board powerful financial interests of the coun-
Try. They will continue to exercise their SWAY of
money until the whole system is overhauled which
is the same as saying that the Federal Reserve
Board should be taken and operated by the
people in the interest of the people, as the trainers
of the law intended it should be operated Wash
ington Labor.
1t is believed by many people that the Federal
Reserve Board is creature of the Government be-
ing owned and controlled by the will of the Gov
crnment for the people 1t is sad mistake as moth
ing of the kind exists. The Federal Reserve Board
is the private institution of the banking system
lock, stock and barrel, which gives the money pow
er absolute privilege to manipulate the medium of
exchange (money) which initiates and liquidates
10 the will of the money masters Of finance In the
past twenty months no less than two billion dol
lars circulative medium has been retired and is be-
ing continually reduced at the modest rate of
eighty million per month; and just where the end

HUGE TASK DONE
BY CENTENARY
Wozk Being Carried On In Nine
Foreign Fields And This
Country

1.-THE great work Of The Missionary
Centenaryof the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, is being carried on IN
the nine foreign fields and the home
land" Or. W. W. Pinson, missionary
secretary of the Methodist church,
told a gathering al the First Metho-
dist church here Monday night.
''In Europe over 100000 people
schools, orphanages and hospital,
have been clothed and fed. Churches,
have been erected in Belgium, Pol
and and Czecho-Slovakia. At Boil
logne, Surma, France, is located the
recuperating camp where thousands
of people have received medical at
tention under the direction of skilled
doctors and.trained nurses.
''In Cuba and Mexico, churches,
schools and hospitals have been pro
vided for. and our work in these two
fields is Ia a fourishing condition.
1.-THE Centenary has made it posi-
bic for us to greatly enlarge our
building program in Brazil. During
the Centenary we have completed fif-
ty churches, twenty-four parsonages
and nine schools. The native Brazil
ians have contributed dollar for dol
lar in our building program and have
manifested great interest in our mis-
sion work.
"New buildings have gone up in ia
pan and China, greatly adding to
our present equipment. The total
appropriations for the past three
years to China are $693,02I6O, to
Japan $745,888.62. The contribu-
ton per member in the Methodist
japanese conference to the Centen-
airy was much larger than per mem
her of the home church. This should
be an inspiration to us to do larger
things.
"The Centenary has trained and
sent into the fields 175 new mission
aries, with 1000 in training; 1000
new preachers, with 5000 volunteers
for life service that have offered
themselves TO the church for definite
work, making it necessary that we
should collect our Centenary pledges
in order to train and equip these VOL
unteers.
THE Centenary evangelistic pro-
gram in CzechoaSlovakia and Korea
has touched over 10000 persons that
have become believers and identified
with our church. As a result Of the
evangelistic program in Korea over
100 new Methodist churches were cs-
tablished in the past year.
1.-The Centenary has made it posi-
bic for Methodism to enter Manchuria
and Siberia and within seven months
we have churches with a membership
Of 1900.
Missionary appropriations for the
Southern Methodist church in 1918,
were $1,21S,0 100000; in 1922, $685.
10000. Percent of increase in four
years, 317fo. Group meetings are
being held in every district in The
South Georgia conference, making
plans for World Week from March
18th to April End, when every church
will be requested to organize and en-
deavor to collect its Centenary
pledges to date, that the church may
keep its promise and meet its obli-
cations and continue its program in
