EXPECTS TERRELL
TO GO OVER THE TOP
COUNTY IS MAKING PROGRESS
IN SECURING ITS QUOTA
OF PEANUT GROWERS.

ALBANY, Ga.-Dougherty county
peanut growers are looking for their
neighbors in Terrell and other nearby
counties to emulate their example and
go over the top in the drive to sign
up 50 per cent OF their 1922 peanut
acreage with the Georgia Peanut
Growers COOPERATIVE Association.
Dougherty growers have already sign
ed more than 20 per cent and expect
to go to o5 per cent or higher. That
generally believed here. Reports re-
Terrell county will do equally well, is
ceived here by Col. Robert E. l..
Spence, general chairman OF the pea
nut cooperative, indicate that Terrell
is making splendid progress in the
campaign, and will be among the next
counties to announce minimum quo
ia reached.
Many Counties Near Minimum.
In several of the counties of the
association county organizations have
already signed close to the minimum
requirements, but none of them are
satisfied, and all are setting Their
stakes higher-some as high as 100
per cent. 1t is thought, however, that
if all of the signed contracts in the
hands of county organization COM
mittee members were sent to general
headquarters for tabulation some OF
the counties would be shown to be
close to their minimum requirements.

HUSBANDS REPORTED
DlSTRESSINGLY FEW
EUROPE HAS SURPLUS OF TO-.
900, 900 MARRIAGEABLE GIRLS.
SINGLE BLISS THEIR LOT.

One of the greatest and most baf-
fling results of the world war is now
making itself felt throughout Europe,
condition which involves the sanci-
tity and preservation of the home,
the social and political equality
of woman, work and wages, and the
next generations heritage of good or
evil Nearly 20,000,000 girls and wo-
men in Europe are doomed to remain
single, largely because of the world
war.
Men Kept From Marrying.
In the British Isles the superfuous
women number 100000, and in Rus
STA 100000. Their 100000 sis
tiers are scattered throughout the rest
of the countries.
Not only are there no legitimate
mates for these 100000 girls, but
eligible young men are deferred from
marrying by lack of work, cuts in
wages, scarcity of houses, high cost
of necessities, and threats of new wars.
The result is that a spirit of after
the-war recklessness rules Europe.
The moral bars are being let down,
and many girls will go any length to
obtain a husband. Girls are drinking,
smoking, and taking up other habits
to make themselves companionable.
The male today in Europe is SUI
preme. At dances he has six girls to
pick from, where before he had to
compete for partner. Many young
men are making good living by de-
manding pay for attending dances, in
fact, the paid companion has now be-
come an institution.

UNDERWOOD STRONG
in EVERY SECTION
ALBANIAN LOOKED UPON
AS THE DEMOCRATS BEST
CHANCE FOR PRESIDENCY.

ATLANTA, Suggestion of
the name of U. S. Senator Oscar w.
Underwood, of Alabama, for the dem
ocratic nomination for the presidency
has found very generous approval
throughout the country, particularly in
the south, according to Georgia po1iti-
cal leaders.
Mr. Underwood is southerner, to
be sure. His grandfather was a Unit
ed States senator from Kentucky, as
he himself is a senator from Alaba-
ma. Yet, Mr.. Underwood, by viz
tue of his long service in congress,
has become a national figure, and sec
tional antipathy would cut less fig
ure with the voters of the country in
his case than in that of perhaps any
othe man from the south.
Democratic Prospects Brighter.
Two years ago the democratic de-
feat was of such a nature that it
amounted to a disaster that looked
very much like the party's extinction.
Yet today, the party, with a resilien-
CIV almost unparalleled has managed
to resume its armor of battle, reports
received here state, and is ready to en-
ter the big fight confident almost to
the point of certainty.
There may come to the front more
than one man. At the same time right
now the name of Underwood is i'm
pressive, and will give to other pos
sible candidates considerable anxiety.

w. & J. WILL HAVE ONLY
INTRAMURAL BASEBALL

WASHINGTON, Pa. Feb. 81
Washington and Jefferson will have
no baseball representation next
spring except of the intramural
variety, il became known today,
No formal action will likely be
taken on the proposition by the
athletic council, which will merely
allow the question of maintaining
a varsity to go by default. 1t Is
not considered likely even that the
will make any ef-
fort to have the game placed on the
athletic curriculum, as even the
most enthusiastic supporters of the
game at the institution realize that
under present conditions there is
no place for baseball at Washing
ton and Jefferson.
For a few seasons the presidents
tried to restore baseball to the plane
which it occupied some years ago,
but the venture was dismal
failure, largely because there is no
suitable grounds either for play or
practice. In lieu of a varsity base
ball team Washington and Jeffer-
son will concentrate it's energies
on track and tennis.
