Chased Man Drives
Right Into Jail Yard

: aTOCCOA, Ga, Jan. 23.-Seldom
5 does it occur that fellow will run
Z right into Jail. 1t happened here Sat
urday. Two deputy sheriffs were on
: the outskirts of the city trying to
/. locate young man wanted for
stealing cars. They drove their car
near the place where the young
sn1an was supposed to be and as they
stopped their car on the side Of
! the road, a new car came up and
tstopped The deputy got out to go
Ito the house and noticed the driver
sof the car was excited and trying to
turn his car. He decided to investi-
gate, but the driver had turned his
scar and headed for town by that
slime. The deputy got in his car and
.the chase began. The driver of the
six came right on into town and
through the business section and out
Pond street. The county Jail is To-
Gated at the end of the street. The
driver of the six went at break-neck
speed down the street and drove his
car right into the Jail yard before
he knew it.
AS he stopped the car and was
making efforts to get out, he was
taken in hand by the deputy. Upon
investigation it developed that he
had 100 gallons of moonshine iE the
car. He was young man, dressed
in a sport suit, with kid gloves, and
had the appearance of a society
man. He was landed behind the bars
to await the action of the courts

COOPERATIVE MARKETING
PRAISED AT ATHENS MEET

ISOLATION, the speaker reviewed
briefly the history of that organiZa-
ton and spoke in glowing terms Of
it's success. One year ago, there was
S35 in it's treasury, he declared. Since
then, it has borrowed three and a
half million dollars which it has adj
vanced to the members of the asso-
citation, and if the $4,000 bales of
cotton in it's warehouses were sold
at today's prices there would be
a profit of one and one-half million
dollars left to share among its mem
bers.
Following Mr. Conwell's address,
Professors M. G. Gay and James w.
Morton, of the agricultural college,
and Mrs. NJ. E. Judd, of Dalton,
Georgia, spoke on Commodity Orr
ganization,' reviewing, in brief,
various aspects of that subject.
The farm bureau is the most Won
derful organization of its kind in
America, asserted Professor Gay. 1t
has fostered commodity marketing
associations all over the country, and
has performed valuable service in
bringing farmers everywhere to the
realization of the need for a general
farm organization nationwide in
scope.
There must be numerous local
units in this plan of cotton co-opera-
tives,'' he declared further, mot
only that the farmers of the nation
may be brought into close associa-
ton, but also that vital contact,
upon which success or failure de-
ponds may be made a reality among
the cotton growers of a county or
district.
How CO-Ops Help Farmer
cooperative marketing helps the
farmer in these ways" concluded
the speaker" at raises the quality
of the staple, it betters distribution,
1t helps to raise and to maintain
higher prices"
Markets mean so much to all peo-
pie except ours, we don't seem to
see the value oflthem," declared Mrs.
M. c. Judd, of Dalton, Ca, in speak.
ing on the social value of commodity
marketing associations. Mrs. Judd,
has been active in agriculture extern
sion work and has travelled ex-
tensively in Russia, Greece and other
countries of the old world, where
she studied the customs and the
methods used in agricultural work.
Speaking along the same lines,
Prof. James w. Morton went into
details of the plan under which, it
is hoped, marketing associations will
be organized and operated in the flu
ture. Cooperation through mutual
understanding, he declared, is the
first essential of the system

Mississippi Is Denied
Prior Claim on Funds
OF Fire Underwriters

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 23.-Insur-
ance Commissioner 7. M. Henry.
whose right to attach, or make prior
claim for the impounded funds of
IRE insurance companies formerly
doing business in Mississippi, and
against which companies legal ac-
ton by the state revenue agent for
alleged violations of the antitrust
laws is pending, was denied yester.
day by the state supreme court, de-
clared today that he had not decided
on what course would be pursued by
his office in the matter.
Pending the outcome Of the anti
trust litigation the impounded funds
of approximately 100 fire insurance
companies, most of whom quit the
state when the antitrust suit was
filed, amounting to almost $1,000,0O0,
are being held by receivers. The
funds of the defendant companies in
the hands of local agents and under
writer's were seized under writs OF
garnishment to be held against pos
sible judgments.

Tourist Camps Searched
For Kidnapped Youth

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Jan. o.
Local police searched all surround
ing motor tourist camps in search
of a young man described to them
yesterday by a passing tourist as
Jimmie Glass, member Of a promi
nent New Jersey family, kidnapped
several years ago.
The informant, who showed pa
pers to identify himself as Captain
Paul Micelli, of New York city, told
the police that he knew the boy
we'll and recognized him on the high
way southeast of this city. He
claimed to have questioned him to
confirm his belief. Local police did
not recall the kidnapping at the time,
but hurried out the road to intercept
the young man. They were unsuc-
csssful.
Later Tearing of the case, they re.
doubled their efforts into a search
which caused them to inspect closely
e. cry stranger approaching the de-
csription given by Micelli. In the
mornings mail officials received
a description of Ralph Griffiths, 15
yearold runaway from Columbus.
Police said the description seemed
similar to that given by Micelli as
fitting Glass, and expressed the be-
lief that it was Griffith who had been
seen.
Micelli was en- route eastward with
his family and officials here were
unable to get further information

Likewise, it is better in the long
run for the individual that all the
growers of any given commodity re-
ceive the same price, if it is a fair
price, than that he should market
his own crop for any one season at
a slightly better price than his neigh
bors get.
Once the farmer has learned all
this, he is ripe for cooperation. He
understands readily then why 1t is
necessary to bring practically all or
a large percentage Of the growers
into the association. He sees why
it is essential that the cooperative
contracts or agreements must run
for a long period of years-five at
least. He understands why he must
bind himself to market all his crop
through the association, and he sees
the menace to the entire co-opera-
tive structure if a single member
succumbs to the temptation to break
his contract.
Closely allied with the interests of
the farmer are those of the mer
chant, the banker, the lawyer, the
editor, the doctor, the teacher; in
fact, of all who go to make up the
community that is the center of any
agricultural section.
This was brought out clearly when
the raisin growers of California were
being organized. They held their
first meeting in Fresno, and the lead
ing merchant Of the town told them
that if they would organize and do
something for themselves he would
put every penny he had in~the world
behind them.
"You fellows are not making any
money" he said. you don't buy
anything from me except overalls for
yourselves and Mother Hubbards
for your wives. You don't buy any
furniture except the cheapest. You

BY FREDERICK j. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. "a
Extension of cooperative associa-
tons for the marketing of practi-
cally all kinds of farm products is
in exact ratio to the understanding
by farmers OF the fundamental prin-
ciple that oniy the grower is in
tcrested in selling the entire crop of
a given community.
The middleman is never concern
ed in seeing that all the wheat, all
the tobacco, all the cotton, all the
apples, all the potatoes, all the or
anges, all the raisins. or all of any
crop that may be produced in a
season is marketed. He is only in
terested in buying what he can sell,
and in selling what he has bought.
1t is to his interest to have the sup
ply always greater than the demand,
for he can use that as an excuse
to break the price to the producer.
1t is also to his advantage to see
That the WOIlU uOGS uOI dOSOl ~ ONGl
production, for that enables him to
maintain prices to the consumer, and
hence he is not interested in eX-
hausting the demand for any COM
modify.
But the grower may sell all that
he himself produces and still suf-
fer because the entire crop of that
commodity has not been marketed,
for the price he receives will be low
er by reason of the real or apparent
surplus production. And if he does
not sell all he produces he loses
that portion of his crop that is left
on his hands.
Demand Important
To protect his own interests, &C.
cordingly, he must see to it that the
demand is exhausted if that is nec-
essary to effect the sale of the en-
tire crop.

JEFFERSON DAVIS
HIGHWAY PROJECT
BOOSTED At NJ RAE

FITZGERALD, Ga, Jan. %
Considerable progress was made
with the promotion Of the Jeffer-
son Davis highway project at the
meeting held in McRae Friday, &C
cording to a statement of Secretary
I. Gelders, who was in attendance
from this city. The sole obstacle to
the success of the eastern link of
the highway appears to have been
removed by and with the co-opera-
ton of patriotic citizens of Tefair
and others.
Construction of the bridge through
the Ocmulgee swamp will be be-
gun at an early date at the location
agreed upon at this meeting, which
has the support of the commission
ers of Ben Hill county and Commits
sioner Thrasher, of Telfair. But for
this final agreement of the contest
ing parties, the route would have
been carried from Fitzgerald via
another route, which would have
been a serious loss to all the coun.
ties east of the river.
Large delegations from the sew
eral counties east of the Ocmulgee,
through which the proposed Jeffer-
son Davis road is to be constructed,
attended the meeting Friday, which
had been called by E. L. Meadows,
of Vidalia, who was accompanied by
|about thirty of his fellow toWnsmen.
H. C. Napier, editor of the Vidalia
Advance, took temporary charge Of
the meeting, to which Judge w. w.
Sheppard. of Claxton, was unani-
mously chosen as chairman.
Judge Sheppard delivered a beau
tiful eulogy on the life of Robert e.
Lee. and the Confederate chieftaln,
to whose memory the proposed high
way is to be dedicated; Colonel w.
S. Mann, in behalf of McRae citizens
and Telfair county, spoke flatterlng-
ly of the memorial highway through
their county, and also stated that
adopting the Lambkins-Oldfleld
crossing over the Ocmulgee, the op-
position existing in McRae would be
eliminated, as JUSTIFICATION already
is connected by a legaliZed road ana
the commissioner could, without
chance of legal hindraQce, proceed
to construct whatever Improvements
he deemed necessary to make it
serviceable for this trans-continent
route.
Secretary I. Gelders, speaking for
Ben Hill county, stated that either
of the proposed locations would be
acceptable to his county. Frank c.
Battyg representing the, board OF
trade of Savannah, spoke briefly OF
the Importance of this route to the
commerce of the territory, and the
value of permanent roads to farmers
as well as automobilists, and pledged
the moral and financial support of
his city to the completion of the
project.
w. r. Neel, engineer for the scate
highway department, spoke of the
work already done by his depart
ment, and the interests of his as
sociates in giving this memorial
highway to the Confederate chief
tain their full support, accepting
such location as may be adopted by
the local counties and offered the
service of his engineering depart

Butts County Farmers
Favored in Allotment
OF Acreage for Peppers

JACKSON, Ga, Jan. 23.-The fact
that Butts county has been allotted
$500 acres of the 5000 acres that
will be grown under contract in 1928
for the Continental Packing corpora
ton, of Macon, shows that the
pimento pepper produced in Butts
county ranks with the best. Last sea-
son few hundred acres was grown
in peppers for the Macon concern
and product dl owe the average was
produced here. When it came time
to make contracts for the 1928 sea-
son, Butts county farmers were fav-
ored with one half of the total acre
age that the Macon company will
contract for.
A representative of the company
spent part of the week in jackson
signing contracts. So eager were
farmers to obtain pepper contracts
that hundreds thronged the court
house, where the meeting was held.
Those who have not yet secured con-
tracts are still Clamoring for a small
acreage. Jackson, Flovilla and
Locust Grove will be the main ship
ping points.
The company contracts to pay IL
cents or $35 for No. 1 pepper f. o. b.
the shipping point. This is the same
price that prevailed in 1922. Farmers
here who grew peppers in 1922 are
well pleased with the returns, some
growers realizing as much as 500
per acre, they declare.
A large acreage was also grown
under contract for the Pomona Prod
ucts company the past year and it
is understood the Griffin company will
soon make contracts for this season.
Many farmers declare peppers are
an excellent substitute for cotton as
a cash money crop.
