Lee County Over Top
In Peanut Coop Drive

ALBANY, Ga, May BY the
time Victory week. opens May %,
it is believed that more than half
the twenty-five counties comprised
in the preliminary organization Of
the Georgia Peanut Growers Co
operative association will have reach
ed their minimum quota, and the
work Of putting over the remaining
counties and swelling the totals of
those already over will be rendered
easier.
Lee county went lover the top"
Monday, when contracts received at
headquarters here showed that more
than 76 per cent of the 1922 acreage
had been pledged for cooperative
marketing, making it the seventh
county to go over. The minimum
quota in each county is only SO per
cent. The work in Lee county was
done entirely by volunteers assem-
bled by S. j. Yoemans, organization
chairman, and S. J. Powell, county
chairman, assisted by w. M. Beck
ham, of Albany, and a committee
of Lee county citizens.
Lee county planted 4,504 acres Of
peanuts for the market in 1922, and
had therefore a minimum quota of
1882 acres in the cooperative aSSo-
citation. Contracts received Monday
showed that 1926 acres had already
been pledged. The work there will
be continued by the organization
forces, who are expecting more than
100 per cent of the 1922 acreage, as
Lee is one of the few counties that
will grow more peanuts in 1928 than
in 1922.

DEMOCRATS MUST
BACK COURT PLAN ,
IS VIEW Of. COX

CHICAGO, May 9.-Any plan
which provides for the essentials of
a permanent world peace should be
acceptable to Democrats and Repub'
licans alike, former Governor James
E. Cox, Democratic standard bearer
in the presidential election of 1920
declared here Tuesday before the
Illinois women's Democratic club.
eff I were a member of the sen,
ate, I would vote for an information
al court without quibbling, even to
the extent of indulging the caprices
of Mr.. Hughes" he declared. While
scarcely referring directly to the
League of Nations at any time dur
ing his address, Mr.. Cox said the is
sue of international peace was more
outstanding than any other brought
up by either political party and
should be taken from politics.
If this question has not been set
tied before the presidential election
Of 1924, he asserted. the Democratic
party would violate its faith should
it refuse to take up the standard
again.
Democrats do not want to profit
by any economic adversely of the
country" he said, "but the prosper.
ity of the country today will not
continue without a proper settlement
of the perplexing conditions in Eu-
rope.

France did not dictate the
amount of indemnity Germany
should pay. Lloyd George set the
amount, and he knew at that time
that Germany could never pay
France has been placed in the posi-
tion by England of being uncompro
missing, but the actual amount OF
the indemnity thought proper in the
minds of French leaders and in the
minds of Germans is not so vastly
different. Only one nation can end
this deadlock.

will fall. And with these three ma.
tons in the heart of Europe in ruins,

VAST GOLD STORES
SEEN As MENACE To
j. s. BY HOOVER

NEW YORK, May g. Exportation
of much Of the gold that flowed to
this country because OF the war was
urged last night by Secretary of
Commerce Hoover to stimulate for
eign trade, prevent an era Of un-
paralleled credit and price initiation
in this country and aid sterilization
of European currencies by making
their paper convertible into gold.
The United States has a gold re-
serve Of three billion dollars, one
billion of it not only useless but
potentially dangerous to it, he told
an audience of members of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce.
"I am convinced" he said, "the
surplus of gold will eventually flow
outward in an orderly way through
trade channels without any neces'
sary increase in price levels and its
flow need make no disturbance in
our business life.
There seems to be heard a sort
of chortle in party Of Europe over
the commercial strategy in shipping
gold to the United States. 1t is as
sumed that we will incorporate this
gold in our credit system and be
put out of action by the price rises
resulting from it. If we retain our
normal intelligence this will not

Pola Negrii Recovering
After an Operation;
Hurt in Studio Fall

I. LOS ANGELES, May 9.-Pola
Negri, motion picture tragedienne,
underwent surgical operation last
Saturday and now is recovering at
her Beverley Hills home, the Los
Angeles Times reported today.
Her physician stated she would be
in bed for at least another week and
forbade all callers, except Charlie
Chaplin, her fiance. He is said to
be daily visitor.
It was said at the Negri home the
actress suffered a fall while at work
at picture studio last Friday, tried
to continue her work, tainted and
was taken home only to be so much
worst the next day that an operation
was necessary.
Studio officials said they knew of
neither the fall nor the faint. They
said that for some time Miss Negri
had been considering an operation on
her throat and that her present Ill
ness probably could be traced to
some form of throat trouble.

them to singing Old Black Joe and
The Last Rose of Summer.

contain high notes. High tones de-
note joy; low notes, grief. Some OF
the boys become real singers.
"a lot of them yell when they try

while their yelling ceases.

"Jazz is not so good. Jazz in
