REV. ]. E. KLINGDERG
 TALKS TO LIONS CLUB
Says Children At Home Are Taugh,
 From Bihle aad May select 0sn Religion whaa Older.

Because the public schools of New
 Britain are as good as can be found sas place in the country and do more for the children than a private school could do, Rev, ], F, KlingbeFg told the members of the iions' club at inc weekly luncheon held this noOnsat the JF. O. U, A. M, hall that he dees not believe that the ehildFen's Home will ever have a school Of its own such as has been suggested several times by residents of this city,
 Rev, Mr. kllngberg told of the great work which is heinz carried on al the home and how II was started by him some 90 years ago by accepting three children into his own home. He said that he has often been questioned as to what religion the children are taught.
 The minister explained to the mem- bers that the religion Of children is never asked when they are accepted into the home. They are taught from the Bible until they are old enough 10 decide for themselves whether or not they wish to join the Catholic or Protestant church.
 II was voted by members Of the club to hold an installation night within the next two weeks. The chair men of the various speakers, enter tainment and social committees will decide upon which night and where Inc exercises will take place.

SOME CABINET MEMBERS
 FAVOR PAYING 5 PER CENT.
British Officials Discuss Terms of Eng lands Debt to the United
 States.

London, Jan. 30, (By Associated Press) The British cabinet is not
 enjoying that tranquility which Pre- nlier Law prescribed for the country upon taking office. As the ministers
 met today to consider Stanley Bald wins report on his American mission
 it was under the shadow Of Near
 East war cloud and the uplifting gloom of the Ruhr situation.
 The two latter subjects, it was ex- pected, would engage the attention of the cabinet in part, but the primary purpose of the meeting was to deal with Great Britain's debt to the United States. It was not supposed that this question could be settled at a single session and the presumption was that two more meetings might be needed to bring the divergent views of the ministers into harmony.
 Some of the cabinet members are credited with the opinion that it would be better to continue paying 5 per cent interest on the debt as it now stands, relying on the hope that better terms can be arranged in the near future.
 Premier Bonar Law is supposed to hold this opinion or some view ap- it.
 Mir. Baldwin in an interview with i the Daily Mail regarding the effect of his Southampton interview in the | United States said he was sure that If the whole statement had been read ! in the United States no exception would have been taken to it.

on the farm, and the excess skim
milk will be fed to calves and
pigs.
One of Mr.. Wardlaw's pet ideas is
the scientific use of fertilizers for
combating the boil weevil cotton
pest. He says that by properly
enriching the soil and forcing the
root growth of the young cotton
plant the early part of the season
the farmer can easily double the
yield per acre as compared with
unfertilized planting. Mr.. Ward
law uses about 800 pounds of COM
mercial fertilizer to the acre. One
third of this is the best grade of
Chilean nitrate Of soda, and the
balance is acid phosphate. He ex-
poets this year to obtain a mini
mum yield of half a bale an acre
from eighty acres of cotton.
The secret of Mr.. Wardlaws sue
cess, apparently lies in the fact that
he loves his work. Eight hours
day-and maybe longer-he is busy
at his desk in McComb, and then
he goes out to his little farm. He s
mindful of the fact that no mans
time is really his own, and that ev-
cry man owes a debt to his family
and the community at large He
doesn't waste his time, he makes use
of the talent that is his-makes of
his work a real pleasure. If we
had more men like Hugh Wardlaw
it is very probably there would. be
less discomfort and no poverty in
this God-blessed country called
South Georgia.

of a ring which officials here claim
operated a flotilla or craft, had it's
own cement lined storehouses in the
swamps along the Georgia and Flor
ida coasts and supplied enormous
quantities of liquor along the At
lantic seaboard as far east as New
Jersey; over the South and as far
West as st. Louis, Chicago and

Heading forces Of less wealth and

GERS, were c.. Graham Baughn,
Richard Bailey and Sam Goldberg.
These four are referred to as the
big four" and it was said they
were known in bootleg circles"
throuElc~t the country.
Later the federal grand jury re-
turned indictments against the "big
four" and four or five others
charging a violation of the revenue
act through failure to make proper
returns. 1t was charged that Haar
had failed to make a return on in
come in excess of 81, 100000. These
cases are set for trial August 20,
before Judge William J. Grub. of
Birmingham, Ala, who is holding
the current term of federal district
court at Savannah beeouse Fed
eral Judge Barrett is in i'll health.
Haar is alleged to own a number
of craft Of British registry which
were used to import intoxicants
from Cuba, the Bahamas and 9th
err points in the West Indies. But
the ring, the sto1 goes, reached
out even to Great Britain, France
and Canada for its supplies. The
craft bringing stocks from nearby
ports would anchor outside the s.
mile limit, the claim is, and fast
motor boats would make the trans
fers to storehouses ashore. Dit
tribution then would be made by
automobiles and trains.

THE REAL CAUSE
FOR Discomfort.

Hugh E. Wardlaw, a native Of
Winder, Ga, is showing the people
around McComb Miss, where he
now resides, some things about
farming. Among other things he
has demonstrated the proposition
that it is possible to be a success
full farmer and an excellent rail
way man at the same time. Mr..
Wardlaw is considered one of the
most efficient men in his depart
ment of service with the Illinois
Central, and he is the owner and
operator of a 2OO-acre plantation,
four miles south of McComb,
which is in every way a going and
| profitable venture.
Purebred cattle and hogs are the
principal features which are being
pushed by Mr.. WardIaw in connec-
tom with his farm development at
the present time, he has now =
tine dairy herd of forty-five cows
ana he1ters, all high grade Jersey
STOCK. Five of his cows are reo-
lstered animals, and he owns a fine
! registered bull. He has at present
1ltteen head of purebred DDroc
Jersey hogs as a nucleus for his
contemplated herd.
In addition to the growing Of fine
stock, Mr., Wardlaw does general
farming, raising crops of cotton
corn, sorghum cane and potatoes
About lis acres Of his plaptation
are in cultivation, the work of till.
ing and harvesting being done BIZ
his negro tenants, who work on
shares. Six families live on the
plantation, furnishing about fiji
ten hands during the working sea
son, as the children are often as
competent for cotton picking as the
grown-ups.
A substantial addition to the
plantation income is realized from
the sale of milk and cream. Six
teen cows are being MIXED at this
time, yielding around thirty gal
Ions of milk daily. This product is
all sold in McComb, bringing in an
average of So a day. A cream sep
arator has recently been installed
