GEORGIA SECOND
IN POTATO YIELD
GREAT INCREASE IN PRODUC-
TON OF THIS PRODUCT
IN CURRENT YEAR.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Georgia ranks
second in the production of sweet po-
tatoes and second among the states
shipping the most sugary varieties
known as southern sweet potatoes, but
in total number of carload shipments
of all kinds of sweet potatoes it ranks
sixth, according to officials of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
way. The agricultural department of
the railroad, along with other efforts
towards Investigation among farm
ers of south Georgia, has taken keen
interest in the sweet potato industry
and was instrumental in establishing
potato curing houses along the line Of
road. The curing process has enabled
the farmers to preserve their product
and reach markets at great distance,
even making shipments to Europe.
1t was stated here today that sweet
potato production has increased from
6,035,000 bushels in 1000 to 13,764,000
bushels in 1920. There has been a
marked increase in production since
1917.
During the 1919-20 season only 46l
cars were shipped out OF the state,
122 of which went to II large markets
in the north and east. During 1920-21
season 1868 cars were shipped out OF
the state, 122 going to II large mark
cts.
1t is stated that many cars were
distributed to the smaller markets in
the states north and west of Georgia,
showing that the people believe in
home consumption.

NEW YORK, n. Y.-"America
holds the key to settlement OF Eu-

Ex-Governor James NJ.
Cox declared today upon his arrival
aboard the French liner Paris.
Cox returned to advocate American
participation in the league of nations.
What Europe must settle before ev-

former democratic candidate for the
presidency visited England, France,
Germany, and the new countries Of

Referring to the league of nations
Governor Cox said:
The league will not be a political
issue in America for long. There are
two reasons for this. Irrefutable logic
will bring the United States inevitably
into the league; Europe is prepared to
meet any conditions, in my opinion,
which the United States may con-

PUTTING SPOTLIGHT
ON ALL CANDIDATES
WOMEN VOTERS ASKING EN-
BARRASSING QUESTIONS.
OFFICE SEEKERS SWEAT.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Honesty
and truth-telling will be injected into
this falls campaign in every state in
the union. Candidates for public office
must stand up and be counted Off
Gals of the League of Women Voters
have made this very plain. They as
sert that their membership, country
wide, has no intention of voting blind.
All women frankly are curious, they
explained, and as election day draws
near they will become more and more
so.
The favorite methods of the league
will be to use the QUESTIONABLE. In
those states where primaries impend
candidates for office are at this very
moment sweating nervously over those
questionnaireS. None dare refuse fill
out the blanks.
Popping questions at a candidate tor
office is something out OF which league
members get a lot of cruel enjoyment.
And they are not always satisfied with
mere verbal and evasive replies
hence the QUESTIONABLE. Many OF the
state leagues have evolved voluminous
and elaborate questionnaires which
they send to all political candidates.
They want the stand of aspirants to
office on all public questions down IN
writin'." No airy fairy before election
promises for the league members that
are disregarded just as airily after
elections.
Turn Light on the Past
Another phase OF the league curiosi-
ty is concerned with a candidates past.
The great white inquistorial light
beats seachingly upon all past political
performances. Each state branch bus
les itself with the "pasts" of the can
didates for office within that state. No
bidder for office no matter to what
party he belongs, may hope to escape
the Pauline Pry assigned by the wo-
mems organizations to dig up his past.
Nothing is disregarded in this exhum-
ing process, whether it is a record OF
a vote or the diagram of his teeth fill
ings. There is never a livelier corpse
than the dead, dead past OF politician
who is being investigated by the wO-
mems organization. When all infor-
nation necessary is collected it is
Haunted before league members with
out fear and favor and regardless OF
party affiliation.
No man may aim too high or too
low to be sighted by Miss Pry,
whether the aim be seat in the SEN
ate or in a dog catcher's wagon. The
women are memorable in their judg-
ments, and no politician with lurid
pale past can hope to get by their or
CARNATIONS with grand promises con-
corning his future conduct.
Curiosity is a well advertised eXter-
minator Tor cats, but the League OF
Women Voters seems to thrive on it,
which incidentally may prove they are
not in any way related to the feline
family at all.
