SAVING GEORGIA BABIES

SAVING GEORGIA BABIES
For many years there was in Gaines
vile, Ga, phys can OF great state
repute as a baby specialist He died
some time ago. Perhaps some Allan
ia doctors have taken first rank since
then but from now on for five years
Athens will be the seat of one of three
special baby clinics to be conducted
for that period of time in each section
of the country financed by common
wealth fund of $90,0000O0 in all. Athens
is in fact a fourth one in this south
eastern section and won over 81 other
cities including Danville and Char
lottesville, Va. A vanguard of special
lists for baby ills will soon arrive to
conduct the clinic and probably to
save the lives of thousands of Geor-
gia babies that will be carried to
them.

GOOD TIMES AHEAD-Discussing with the
two banks Of the city the present year end situa
on and the outlook for another year indicates that
though times have been tight people are not broke
by any means, but have this year learned mighty
good lcsson-the lesson Of approaching dollar
and the lesson OF economy and saving. These bank
are all the while peering into the future to
guide away from dangers and they believe that
with normal weather next year we are going to
make good yields OF several money crops, inClud-
ing nice yield of cotton, peanuts, tobacco, hogs,
chickens and eggs, cream, oats, potatoes, syrup
etc. Just such a combination will give the
farmer chance at several money bringers so that
II one source fails he will have other sources for
gain.
In other sections of Georgia this wear where
they had reasonable weather and poisoned cotton
they got real good crops of cotton and in many
sections lots OF other stuff to bring money
Where tobacco was iarmed under the direction

crops, work them inteligently, be patient stay
close on the Job and grow altogether enough for
car load shipments and by another fall find our
selves in good shane and really thankful for the
valuable lessons Of 1923
The surprising thing about this years situation is
that farmers have passed through the year without
borrowing any money at all, nearly for the wears

POOR CIVIC FABRIC

A writer OF note, speaking of grea.
men particularly American statesmen
of the past says that even Franklin or
Jefferson could never have carried
their projects through with such film
sy civic material as our day produces.
He says we are poor patriots these
days The decisive battles of '76 do
not interest people as do Dempsey and
Babe Ruth nor are they so enthused
over 4 new navy aviation speed of 259
miles an hour as over a Boston mans
4l0 yard golf drive. How many can
recite the Star Spangled Banner or
the declaration of Independence? he
says. Here then may be reason for
the frequent query, why do we new
er have any great men or orators in
the present day to equal those of whom
all history is proud in the past?" Az
erage citizenship too is at low par.

GOD SPEED THE NEGROES

This is the tenor of speech recent
ly made before the editors of the 9Th
and cEh districts by Judge Fortson,
speaking of the negro migration. He
said: There is no section of the earth
more richly endowed with natural ad-
vantages and yet we have Jagged be-
hind the rest of the nation in wealth,
manufactures, commerce, agriculture,
and education. Can it be doubted that
this backwardness is due to the pres
ence of 100000 negroes pauperized
and illiterate? AS the negroes in in
creasing number migrate northward to
the industrial centers, white men of
superior standards of living, of more
intelligence, more energy and greater
industry will take their places. Our
farms will improve, labor prices will
advance, manufacturing Will increase
and the South will catch step with the
rest of the nation To the negroes who
leave. | say God speed. I rejoice in
it. To the South it is as the first pale
rays OF the dawn or a better day."

Natural Tints In Metro Photoplay
Obtained by Technleolor
Process.

The announcement of the presen-
tation OF the first Technicolor motion
picture in natural colors, The Toll of
the Sea- scheduled for the Weir the
ater on Sunday, should prove a pow
erful magnet for people Interested in
natural colOr photography. The new
process by which 1.-THE Toll of the
Sea" has been done is, according to
authentic advance statements of COM
petent critics, the fullest develop
ment Of the long soughtfor invention
which makes possible the presenta-
ton of people as they really appear
in actual life.
The principal inventor Of the Tech
nicolor process is DR.. Daniel F. Com
stock, = graduate OF the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology and
Foreign Institutions. For seven years
he and his co-worIrers have given re-
search to the problem, and the result
of their experiments is shown in their
first picture.

unhappiness.
A sterling cast OF players has been
selected. Anna May Wong, a skillful
