''WALLY' REID, STILL.
ON VERGE Of DEATH.
DEFENDED BY WIFE.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 90
Wallace Reid, motion picture star,
Is on the verge Of death and for
several days has not been expected to
live, according to Mrs. Wallace Reid
dorothy DavenporO in an interview
today in the Los Angeles Examiner
given at a Hollywood sanitarium last
night.
One Of the physicians, according
to the Examiner, corroborated Mrs.
Reds statements, saying:
,''Mr. Reid has been near death for
the past five or six days. His tenn
perature has repeatedly reached 103
and his pulse 100. His heart action
is irregular and weak. He has faint
ed on an average of three time daily
and has lost seventy pounds in
weight. Laboratory findings at the
present time indicate he is suffer
ing either from complete eXnaus-
tive condition or from influenza.
"a reinfection Of influenza is pos
sible at any time and could cause
his death. This is not anticipated
by attending physicians but must be
and is being considered"
He thought he would die the
other night said Mrs. Reid. He
was so brave about it, poor boy.
For three nights he had expected to
die. He isn't afraid to die, but he
wants so to live for Billy and Betty
and me-" referring to their son and
adopted daughter.
The physician describing the &C
tors illness, according to the Elk
aminer, said:
His present illness has no con-
nection with over-indulgence in al
cohol or narcotics, although such in
dulgences have undoubtedly under
minded his strength and system in
months gone by"
Mrs. Reid in describing his con-
dition just before the present break
down said that he wept and said:
How did 1 happen to let myself
60 Why couldn't I have stopped
long ago? I thought I was strong;
I thought I knew myself so we'll! I
can't understand it!'
Indignant denials of published re-
ports of "orgies" in the Reid home
were made by Mrs. Alice Davenport,
mother.in-law of the actor, to whom
those reports had been credited.
IT know there are dope parties in
HolIywood-every one knows that"
she said. And suppose Wally has
attended some Of them, don't know.
I do know that I have talked with
him after he returned from parties
at homes Of some of the people in
Hollywood and I have seen him sad
~ shake his head and say. Mother,
I don't like it. That isn't the way
to have pleasure. It's all so false,
so artificial"
Will H. Hays, director of the or
ganized motion picture industry,
commenting on the actors illness,
said:
eff Reid's condition is a result Of
indulgence in narcotics, as has been
reported, its a matter 10 be prayed
over. The poor boy should be dealt
with as a diseased person-not to
be censured, Stunned. Rather, let
us all sanely and sympathetically
try to help. him, try. to restore him
to health

Germany Has Plenty
OF Bread to Last
All Through Winter
BY GEORGE WHITE

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1921
BERLIN.-Germany has enough
bread to last through the winter said
Food Minister Luther in a Reich
stag committee today, thus disprov-
ing the argument of the pessimists
who predict general chaos unless re-
lief from the outside is given.
The minister said that the moder-
ate grain crop would suffice for
German alimentation provided a jul
dicious distribution was assured and
particularly if the farmers continue
to deliver their grain at the present
rate. They have already delivered
one-third Of the quota required by
law.
The situation is no worse than it
was one year ago and better than it
was two years ago. The price of
bread, which as present is 800 marks
per loaf, will determine whether Ger
manys poor people will suffer from
want this winter.

MARKETING

81 know Of no single movement
that promises more help toward
the present relief. and the perma-

conditions than the cooperative

II am anxious that the govern

"In the long run, government
aid cannot be made effective un-

\ MESSAGE FROM PRESi-
DENT CONWELL TO ALL
MEMBERS OF THE ASSO-
CITATION.

Dear Member: Many things
haze already happened md
been accomplished that should
make the cotton growers who
are members Of this association
feel proud of their efforts to or
ganize and sell their cotton CO.
operatively for profit to them
selves.
When did the bankers in
Georgia ever advance money to
the farmers directly on their
cotton, in such large volumes
before, at low interest rates?
The mill and cotton manu-
facturers have expressed them
selves. in various meetings they
have held as being in favor of
spreading the sale of the farm
ers' cotton over a longer period
in order to be just and fair to
the producers of cotton.
When, before the organization
of the cooperative associations,
could the cotton farmers get
millions of dollars directly from
the government as they have
gotten from the war finance cor
pora ton to- finance their cotton
for a period of time at low rates
of interest?
When, before this year, has it
ever been possible for the farm
ers to get their cotton graded
and stapled correctly, financed
with large volumes of money at
low rates of interest, and, at the
same time, not be forced to
dump their cotton, but enabled
to sell it orderly and intelligent
ly from month to month, thus
insuring the highest average
price?

JOY AND CHEER
FROM FAR AND NEAR

Say, that was some entertainment
all right that wa sgiyen at the Dixie
Pride Playhouse Sunday night, May
Ia. Il was a superior performance in
every way and brought some very valu-
able new talent to the front. The jun
ior Orchestra. as usual. opened the ev-
ening's treat with a splendid piece~of
music. The orchestra is becoming
more and more expert and perfect with
every passing day and is the JOY and
pride Of the whole Colony,
Mr.. Beavers sang an original pro-
duction on the ''Llano Dance" which
we will publish for the delectation of
our readers. Mrs. Ferree gave hui
morous reading in such true-to-life
manner that she just captivated the
audience. The little girls. Margaret
Kapotsy. Katherine Cantrell and Alice
Jacques, accompanied on the guitar by
Mrs. Martin, contributed a lovely lit
tie song in their vivaciocs, youthful
voices that cheered everyone. Mrs.
Cantrell sang her solo soywell that an
encore was imperatively demanded, and
as rule all performers have to en-
core, they do so well.
Miss Lucille Cook vibrated a sympa-
thetic cord in the writer's heart when
she recited ''Bingen on the Rhine. 1t
was fifty years ago when the writer
first read the poem, and it became
favorite with him at first reading and
he learned it by heart And only those
who get at the psychology Of the trag-
edy of the story the poem reveals can
appreciate and experience the emotions
and thrills it contains. Miss lrIxie
Ewell performed piano solo and en-
core in her well-known artistic style.
She is fine musician. Professor Mar
tins violin solo and encore, accompan-
led on the piano by Mrs. Gaddis, was
a masterful piece Of work. Llano Col
ony can congratulate itself on the SUI
perior musical talent that it harbors.
Mrs. Busic, one Of our new members,
revealed herself as a highly proficient
dialect impersonator and was cheered
to the echo. A flute solo by Comrade
Sutton, ably accompanied on the piano
by Miss Beulah Gaddis. was delight
full experience. Mr.. Sutton can play
the flute to perfection. Comrade Yates
lately from California showed that he
is moi only an expert goat raiser, but
in addition also trained elocutionist.
A fine rendition by the orchestra put
the finishing touches to an eventful and
very enjoyable day.
