ANOTHER COLONY
 OF FINNS WILL
 GO TO GEORGIA

JESUP, Ga, March 6.-The success of a colony of Finlanders established at Fairfield, Is miles from here, about year ago, has resulted in the completion of plans to bring another colony to this section at once. it has just been learned, The Films will be located on a 6,000-acre tract on the Jesup Jacksonville road. The first colony was started by W. J. Madison of Gardiner, Mass.
 Dairying and farming are the prin- cipal occupations of the new settlers and they have built up an industrious and prosperous community, it is stated.
 Each of the settlers is assigned to a 200-acre tract of land. They open accounts for food, supplies and other necessities and when the crops are harvested the farmers pool their grain and products, which are sold through a cooperative marketing plan. At the end of the year when accounts are balanced. tho Films, as stockholders. draw dividends. Cotton sweet potatoes and tobacco are the principal crops handled.
 AS an example of what can bt done it is stated that the Films have even made a profit from clearing the land of stumps and waste, the sale of tho wood to fuel concern ir Brunswick more than paying for the work of clearing the land.

Support of Stage Is
 Costly to Austrians

VIENNA, March 6.-The financial support given by Austria to the national theatre and the national opera adds so measurably to the states deficit, that two methods of possibly stopping these losses are be- ing considered One is to lease the theatres, and tho other is to reform them.
 Each has its opponents. Present day actors and employees claim to be indifferent, but assert, nevertheless, that reform is impossible because the present system is not unpopular with certain bureau chiefs in auth ority. The idea of leasing does not disturb the actors. fer one man s money is as good as another's to them.
 But the numerous theatrical pen sioners who are now living on the state are loud in their opposition to any change; the lessees might not euaranteee the continuance of their stipends.
 The government department for the administration of the theatre and the opera numbers 51 persons The theatre employees number 260 on the stage and 256 behind the curtain, while the opera has 500 persons on the stage, supported by 257 behind the scenes. These salary lists, in addition to the amount paid out in pensions, caused a deficit last year of 15 billion crowns in paper money

 The return to Cuban ports by American immigration authorities of scores of Poles and other Europeans, who have masqueraded as Cubans, has resulted in the assignment of Inspector Donate Cubas to ferret out clandestine passport agents.

 According to Inspector Cubas the practice of contraband runners of en- gazing to land cargo of immigrants on the American coast, and then dumping them on some desolate Gu. ban beach after robbing them of all but their clothes, has forced every body but the Chinese to abandon that route. The supply of young Americans who for a consideration, are willing to marry foreign women of appropriate age and accompany them as far as Key West or New York, also has become exhausted, al- though it is believed that a few may become available when the racing season ends.
 Stoppage of these routes, accord ing to the inspector, has resulted in

ALL NATIONS
 ARE INVITED
 TO CONGRESS
President Harding Asks Ma tions to Send Representa-
 lives to Dairy Meeting.

WASHINGTON. D. C., March G. President Harding has invited all nations to send official representa- tives to the Worlds Dairy Congress, which will meet in Washington from October 2 to 5. It's object will be to get together and exchange the information gained by the latest re- search into the influence of milk and milk produtcs on national health, into means of reducing the costs of production and distribution while improving the quality of dairy products, into the international econ omic principles bearing on the dairy industry and methods of sanitary control.
 The meeting will have its finger in every Americans pie; because Sl out of every $5 spent for food in this country goes for milk, butter, cheese, or some other dairy product. The money caused to circulate in America annually by the COW is equal in amount to more than a third and perhaps nearly a half of our European war loans. The De- partment of Agriculture and the Census Bureau figure the United States has around 33,000,000 dairy cattle and that their products on the farms have a value annually of two and a half billion dollars. It is estimated that from the time the milk leaves the COW till it reaches the consumers in various forms it's value has been enhanced from 100 to 1 900 per cent.

Frederick the Great Was
 Believer in Free Press

BERLIN, March o.-Frederick the Great first took censorship off Berlin newspapers in 1740, and the Berlin press recently commemorated the anniversary of that event by print ing Frederick's order, which marked a new epoch in German newspaper making. The order, given out over the name of Count Podewils, reads as follows:
 ''The journalists of the Berlin newspapers shall have unlimited lib- erty to write whatever they like, without censorship, in articles con- cerning what happens here at pres ent. Hds Majesty says these articles amuse him. But, on the other hand, foreign ministers should not com rlain if they find articles now and then in local papers which do not please. them. I took the liberty to hint that the Russian court is very sharp about such things. His Ma jesty answered that journals must not be constrained if they are to be interesting"

Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-03-13
DEVELOPING A CITY PLAN

1t is interesting to note that famous architects are cooperating
with the city plan commission of New York in an effort to make
the great metropolis what it should be. It is significant that a
careful study is being made of the waterfront will a view Of
providing small parks and promenades for the masses.
After all, there is nothing like the water to attract the people.
Perth Amboy has a wonderful waterfront, but the narrow.mind-
edness of some people prevent its proper development. There are
those in the western section of the city, for instance, who oppose
any development along the waterfront because it is mostly in the
first ward and the southern section of the city, they claim, will get
the benefit. But if we me to give the people waterfront parks and
bathing beaches we have got TO go where the water is. The bay
shore cannot be taken out to the sixth ward. Nature has placed
it where it is and if we are to enjoy it we have got to go where
the water is to be found.
That thousands Of people do this every summer is evident
from the crowded condition of the beaches every hot afternoon and
evening. These people ought to be cared for by the municipality.
Just as every other city cares for its people.
The city will spend thousands of dollars for various purposes
that are not nearly as beneficial to the people as an adequate park
and bathing beach along the waterfront. 1t is ten thousand dol
lars for this and twenty thousand dollars for something else, butt
not a cent for the peoples recreation. Yet in a city of this char
Reter there is nothing that would benefit the people more than a
real waterfront park with bathing beaches and amusements.
Chicago, perhaps, has the most comprehensive city plan of
asHs- municipality in the country. But there are others that have
plans which are carefully followed. New York is going into the
matter very seriously and when New York gets started on a
thing of this kind it generally sees it through right.
Perth Amboy has every reason to go into this thing thorough
y. The City Plan Commission which the city now has has accom-
phshed a great deal with the small amount at its disposal. 1t is
going to accomplish a great deal more this year with the in
creased appropriation. But a real comprehensive city plan can
not be made until the city goes at the matter in earnest and the
city officials take the idea seriously. The plan ought to be adopted
and followed. Then, ten Or fifteen years hence, as the various
developments and improvements take place, Perth Amboy will be
q city Of which we can all feel proud. 1t is the big thing to do.
