Such is the tribute to President

recently completed a portrait of the

Among previous portraits executed
by Miss Williams are those Of King
Edward VII, Queen Alexandra, the
Prince of Wales and Lloyd George.

Ambassador Harvey, who was instru-
mental in arranging for her the sit

was tahe appearance of the president

The sitting, which numbered Is on

half each and some times longer Mrs.
Harding convalescing from her re-
cent illness, watched the progress of

comment were much appreciated by

viduals permitted to inspect and
criticise the work as it developed.

FAIR ASSO. OFFICERS
SEEK MUNICIPAL HELP

Albany, March 16.-Plans are
being made by the officers and direc-
tors of the Albany South Georgia
Fair Association to present to City
Council at its next meeting a plan
for the city to take over the asset
of the fair association and to oper-
ate the fair as a municipal institu-
ton, or to lease it to some operat-
ing company.
1t is estimated that the assets Of
the fair association are between $685.
600 and $4,000 and that the liabili-
ties are only about $4,000. Under
the most careful management in the
last two years the fair association
has been unable to show a profit
above operating expenses sufficient
to reduce the Indebtedness, part of
which is interest and taxes, the city
would not have to pay. Stockholders
at their annual meeting in January
recommended the fair be offered to
the city as the only means of keep
ing it in operation and preventing a
foreclosure Of the liens against its
property.

EARN LESS
THAN OTHER INDUSTRIES

While the railways in the South
ern group have in recent years been
earning an average of less than /
per cent other industries have aver
aged from.12 per cent to 20 per cent,
according to figures quoted by Presi-
dent Winburn, of the Central Of
Georgia Railway. Information upon
reports of the Federal Trade Com
mission illustrates the difference be-
tween conditions that govern the
railways and those under which 9th
er industries are permitted to func-
ton.
It is pointed out that there is no
guarantee Of a return Of 8 per cent
on railway stocks and bonds and
that the railways have never even
Appropriated the rate of return fixed
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, but from year to year have
had to pocket their losses.
Mr.. Winburn argues that trans
portation is an essential factor of
business and that if the railways are
to function in the interest of the
public they must be allowed to earn
and retain a rate of return which
will enable them to obtain funds
to meet the increasing demands of
commerce. This cannot be done,
however, if restrictive policies are
carried to greater extremes.
Mr.. Winburn states that the Cen
trail of Georgia asks only Che same
treatment that is accorded industries
generally, without further impair
ment and limitation of earning power
through rate reductions and adverse
LEGISLATION.

.TOPREVENT BLACK ROT
IN SWEET POTATOES
Some Important Instructions AS
To Bedding, Selection Of
Seed and Disinfection

Sumter county farmers who lost
large quantities of sweet potatoes
last year because Of black rot in
their draws, will be protected aginst
similar losses this year, If they take
advice being offered them by George
o. Marshall, county farm demonstra-
ton agent. Black rot is serious only
if seed potatoes are neglected, ac-
cording to Marshall and a little pre-
caution taken now Will insure entire
freedom from this troublesome di-
seasy this year.
OPTIONAL
ITO those who plan to plant sweet
potatoes this year Marshall says
these things are important: First that
all seed potatoes be bedded in new
bed-not in the same bed used last
year. Diseases that may be in the
old bed will attack new potatoes, and
poor DRAWS" with resulting low
field yields will result. Another inn
portant thing to be done in seeding
potato beds is to disinfect your seed
potatoes before bedding them, in or
der that this years crop may be free
of disease when ready for shipping
or storage next fall
At bedding time it is advisable
that great care be used in selecting
seed potatoes and that they be care
fully handled all the time until
bedded. Sort out the seed before
bedding, and discard all potatoes
showing signs of disease. All those
that are cut or bruised should also
be discarded.
After carefully selecting the
sweet potatoes for bedding they
should be disinfected in a solution
Of bichloride of mecury, at the rate
of / ounce to gallons of water. The
potatoes should remain in the solu-
ton for 10 minutes. Use wooden
barrels or tubs for the solution.
Never use metal containers with
bichloride of mecury. Dip the seed
in wooden hampers or crates, After
ten bushels have been disinfected,
add one half ounce of bichlorlde OF
mercury to restore the original
strength to the mixture. When Do
bushels have been dipped discard
the entire solution and make up a
new mixture. Disinfecting the seed
will not cure any disease present in
tho potatoes, but will kill any spores
that NAV be on the potatoes and
which viii enter where they are cut
or bruised
Bichloride Of mercury is harmless
To the hands or clothing, but a g
deadly poison if taken internally.

DEAF DAUGHTER Of
DEAF PARENTS HEARS
Modern Radio Wipes Out Scar OF
Heredity-Liv;ng Ohio
Proof

COLUMBUS, o., March 16.-Ra-
do can grapple with heredity-and
win!
Mary Jones Of Akron, O., is liv-
ing proof.
Mary Jones parents ar deaf. They
loved; they married. They knew if
they were to have children, those chill
dren might never hear their parents
voice. For the chances were that
heredty would predestine them to
deafness.
Mary Jones is now II.
During those II years she had
heard no sound until the other day
when an experiment was tried at thG
behest of NEA Service.
Mary was one of nine pupils-siX
girls and three boys-who were ia
ken from the Ohio School for the
Deaf by Superintendent J. w. Jones
to the radio studio of the Superior
Radio and Telephone equipment
Company.
Each was Of a high degree of men
tality and the group included others
deaf from birth, some who. once heard
but had become deaf, ana two with
a small degree of hearing.
Each pupil was givSn turn at
listening in" while the reactions of
each was carefully ascertained by
Jones.
When Mary Jones' turn came, she
listened attentively moment; by
turns eagerness, puzzlement, realiza-
ti,,, ;lI,,rai nd hon, fare
II do hearw she exclaimed. She
testified to hearing sounds and rec
ognizing the changing sounds when
instrumental music and vocal music
were alternated.
Mary Jones now has hopes of hear
ing her parents voices. She believes
that if they speak into radiophone
she will hear them-for the first
time in her life!
Izora Sutton, IA, Newark, totally
deaf but with training in rhythm on
the piano recognized changes in
sounds of the different instruments,
but could not differentiate between
the instruments and the human
voice.
Sarah Bowser, Is, Piqua, who has
approximately 20 per cent of hearing
could differentiate among singing,
announcements and the playing OF
an orchestra.
Mary Kelch, 20, Cincinnati, with
10 per cent of hearing, recognized
music and the voice and knew
changes in sound.
Fred Sutton, 10, Newark, and
Gussie Strauss, 16, Cincinnati, could
hear nothing.
"Radio can never restore complete
hearing to the deaf" asserted Super
intendent Jones. 1.-THE most that can
be hoped for, believe, is that it may

have teaching and educational posi-
bilities.
There seems to be no doubt that
the vibrations of the radio receivers
stimulated the hearing Of several of
the pupils.
Deaf persons can feel vibrations
from musical instruments, but the
pupils said that in this case they ac-
tually hear, rather than felt the
sounds.
