Many New Structures
Going Up In South
Continued Activity In Building Con-
struction Is Unprecedented; Homes
and Apartments Strong in Demand

ATLANTA, Ga Aug, 23-Southern
development, at the present time, is
shown more strikingly in the contn-
ued activity in building construction,
perhaps, than in any other Inc of en-
deavor. according to Atlanta business
men and particularly those who are
engaged in building financing.
In the opinion OF Forrest Adhir, ST.,
of Atlanta head of a nationally known
realty concern bearing his name -
which has financed activity is contn-
uing at high speed, and as he points
out, it is not confined to any one
section or state. This is conclusively
demonstrated in the building stats
tics compiled by the Adair company
covering every section of the South.
Home building and apartment house
construction, more extensive this
year than for many years, as Mr. Adair
shows, has resulted in many substan-
tial and even costly, homes being cree
ted in many parts of the South. A
striking illustration of this is shown
in the many beautiful homes which
have been built, or are under construc-
ton in the extension of Druid Hills,
Atlanta's millionaire colony. Druid
Hills, perhaps one oft he most beauti-
full residential sections in the South
the home of the Gamblers and other
wealthy people-was opened by the
Adairs and Gamblers many Years ago.
One very gratifying feature of the
local building situation, business men
here say, is that despite many new
homes being built, there are few va
cant houses in the city. Another graf
flying feature to which attention is
directed, is that most OF the new hom-
es are owned by people who occupy
them Atlanta. like other cities and
towns, with most Of the homes owned
by those occupying them has a perma-
ncnt population. 1t is predicted here
that Atlanta in few years, Judging
by its rapid growth, will be city of a
half million people.
There is every reason for conf
dence in the future development Of
the South and OF Atlanta for extensive
building operations are undertaken on.
" when people are prosperous-and
Southern pSople are prosperous now
to a mraked degree-as also evident
ly are many of the people OF Atlanta

Sour Cream An
Important Industry
Many Cows Are Being Shipped to
Valdosta

Valdosta, Aug 20-That the sour
cream industry for Lowndes county is
assured is indicated by the fact that
already one hundred COWS have been
bought and are en- route to Valdosta
for distribution among the farmers
who desire to make additions to their
herds.
Already there are eleven hundred
COWS ready for this service and before
the end of the year not less than fif-
teen hundred will be milking for a
creamery. Banking and other financial
interests have assured all of those who
want additional cows or assistance.
The same interests have guaranteed
the establishment of a creamery in Val
dosta to consume the sour cream.
These fifteen hundred cows will
average their owners $40 per month
each, which means that farmers will
receive regularly $4,000 month or
Sl80,000 annually from the sour cream
business.
With plenty Of grazing lands and
feedstuff produced at a most rcason-
able price the farmers are engaged in
this business in Lowndes county are
assured OF most satisfactory profit
from their cows.
In addition to the annual increase
to their herds, the value of the home
fertilizer, they will also have a con-
siderable quantity of milk with which
to feed pigs and chickens, both of
which will bring very substantial
income to the farmers in addition to
the money for the cream. One COW
will support considerable number of
pigs and chickens in addition to the
cream from the milk which is to be
sold

ATTRACTIONS AT
THE GRAND THEATRE

An exceptionally fine picture was
presented on Monday and Tuesday at
the Grand. The beautiful setting of a
fine sentiment was most attractively
presented. Titles signify so little an
often mislead. This one called "Who
Are My Parents?", demonstrates the
point that real parental affection and
sympathetic understanding of ones
children may be strong in foster par
ents and sometimes lacking in those
of blood relation.
The story touched an orphan asyl-
um in parts and the beautiful pictures
of little children were some of the
best parts. Smiles and tears were not
far apart to spectators. An attractive
array of pictures and talent is sched-
uled for exhibit soon.

DAVIS HIGHWAY
DAY DESIGNATED
TR|-STATE FAIR
Motor Caravan Coming to Savannah
On October 31st

SAVANNAH, Aug. 23-Among the
recent developments for the Tri-State
Exposition during the coming season
is the designation OF Wednesday, Oct.
81, as Jefferson Davis Highway Day.
day devoted to the entertainment of
visitors who will come to Savannah
iii their cars from the sections touched
by this highway. The plans for the oc-
caslon have not been completed by the
tar management. but it is Thought
that there will be special features for
this one day that will be particularly
attractive to those who live several
counties i'll the interior.
The idea of having a day desig
mated for the Jefferson Davis High
way was originated with the secretary
lsidor Gelders, who wrote a letter
recently to B. K. Hanafourde, man
ager of the fair. He stated that
this would be very good means
of having a large attendance from
this section OF Savannah's Zone whiCh
extends westward to Fitzgerald. 1t is
believed that many people from this
section will come to Savannah on this
day.
After the date was decided and the
fair management advised the. High
way Association, the possibility OF de-
veloping motorcade from Fitzgerald
to Savannah for the special day seem
ed very favorable. Now, the assoc a
ton and the exposition are laying lar
ger plans for the first motorcade from
this section to come to Savannah. The
various automobile clubs in the sew
eral counties are delighted with the
suggestion and many letters express
ing the favorable attitude OF the auto
mobile owners have been received.
The Tri-State Exposition is now
preparations to care for the
motor caravan which will consist of
probably 200 cars. Out of town speak
ers will be invited from all sections
to visit the fair on that day and ad-
dress the local civic bodies and the
visiting Jefferson Davis Highway
members. There is possibility of
Gov. Clifford Walker and Gov. Thorn
as G. Mcleod of South Carolina at
tending the event on Oct 81 In the
event that they can be present the oc-
casion will be a dual celebration.
Should they be unable to come to
Savannah for this gathering, other
speakers will be invited

Reservoir Breaks;
Town In Danger
Great Fall of Water; Loosed in Col
orado's Irrigated Territory

PUEBLO, Col, Aug. ga large
irrigation reservoir on the Apisha-
pa river south of Fowler, Col, has
broken according to information re-
ceived here, and a great body of wat
er is moving toward another
reservoir at Rocky Ford. The water
early last night was running four
feet over the dam at Rocky Ford and
city officials expressed the fear that
when the water from the broken res
c&voir south OF Fowler reached the
Rocky Ford dam, the latter would
break, causing a serious flood.
Telephone operators reported a II
foot wall of water to be headed to-
ward Manzanola The river can stand
only about a five foot rise, observers
said last night.
Heavy rains last night raised the
water and formed lake five miles
back of the river from the Fowler
dam, which is half mile wide.
The entire dam went out Wednesday
afternoon and a wall of water is de-
scending on Olney Springs, Manzano-
la, Rock Ford and La Junta, Col
The Arkansas river into which this
water will empty already is bank full
and fears are felt for the safety of the
towns in the floods path. Residents
in all the lowlands are moving to high
