NEW YORK, n. Y.-Twelve years
steadily on any one job deserves a
good healthy vacation, in the opin-
ion of Mr.. and Mrs. John Seymour
Winslow. And that's why he is going
to take a years vacation from the job
OF being a husband and she will take
the same time off from the job of be-
ing a wife.
Mr.. Winslow is in the advertising
business. while his wife, as Thyra
Samter Winslow, is one of the best
known OF the younger generation OF
short story writer's.
AS Much in Love as Ever.
This may sound like a new-fangled
idea" said Mrs. Winslow today, but
want to assure you that it has an
old-fashioned basis. We Just want a
vacation. We are as much in love with
each other as we ever we're and there
is. no Interior motive in our scheme.
This is to be a true vacation, not a
separation.
'For y years we have been togeth-
err so much that we are afraid of los
ing our individuality. Our marriage so
lar has been childless and, in studying
other couples, we have seen husband
and wife swallow individuality, Just to
become half of little pair. With chill

HIS BUSINESS TO SET
TENEMEN ON FIRE
CANISTER CALMLY TELLS OF
ENDANGERING THE LIVES
OF HUNDREDS OF FOLK.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-As nonchal-
antly as if he were discussing the sale
OF pint of peanuts Louis Wallinger,
confessed gangster and gunman, of
Brooklyn, ~ Y, told in court how
he had hired himself for $50 a week
to set fire to tenements crammed with
sleeping persons.
He related before Judge Mott how
he received a bonus of $40 Tor firing
building in Manhattan, in which
dwelt is families, or about $50 per
sons.
He also told how he had set fire to
four other places and admitted that at
the time of the first of these fires he
was veteran at the practice OF arson.
All the blazes specified i'll his testi-
mony, Wallinger said, were set at the
instance OF Boris Aimis, former assist
ant manager OF the Wet Wash Laun-
drymen's Association, who is also on
trial for arson.
Aimis, according to Wallinger,
wanted to wipe out wet wash laun-
dries that were not in his association,
so he hired Walinger ana other gang
STEERS to accomplish this with gasoline
and matches.
1t happened that none OF these fires
resulted in fatalities, but Wallinger
was not concerned in the least wheth-
er some OF the tenants were killed or
not
Wanted Good Job"
Wallinger said Ainis told him to
set a fire on Orchard street, Manhat-
tan. and to do a good job" because
he had a personal grudge against Isa-
dore LIGHT, the owner of the laundry
there.
He said he and his partner, Frank
Marchesi, went to the laundry at
o'clock one morning. They soaked the
place with gasoline and then touched
match to a pile OF laundry.
Wallinger said he reported to Aimis
that he had done first rate job, y
and advised Aimis to look for himself
Aimis did so, Wallinger said, and then

HUNDREDS OF BARNS
BUILT FOR TOBACCO
CROP IN BERRIEN COUNTY is
TO BE MUCH LARGER THAN
IT WAS LAST YEAR.

ATLANTA. Gait is estimated
that Berrien county, Georgia, will have
twelve hundred new tobacco barns
this season, according tc reports re-
ccived here from Nashville by A. B.
and A. railroad officials. On every
public highway leading from the coun-
ty seat as we'll as every country road
or settlement route, it is said one may
see as many as six or eight new barns
in course OF construction, some OF
which have been almost completed.
A Big Increase.
Agricultural agents OF the A. B. and
A. have been advised that the tobacco
crops this year will be about four
times as large as they we're last year.
The cotton industry in the county is
being pushed aside to make room for
what has proved to be more profit
able business in tobacco growing.
Several new buildings are now be-
ing erected in Nashville to handle the
expected large yield OF tobacco, it is
stated. Alva Gaskins has announced
that he will erect new brick ware
house in order to provide additional
facilities for the tobacco during the
big selling season.
Many towns and communities i'll
south Georgia in recent years have
become large trading centers during
the tobacco season. Millions OF pounds
of the staple are placed on the market
netting large profits to the growers.
The industry has reached tremendous
proportions since the growing of the
weed was introduced in that section
by the A. b. and A. agricultural

The old saying that cotton is the
only paying crop OF Terrell county
will soon cease to be true. Pecans,
asparagus and Strawberries, to say
nothing of peanuts and other crops,
are coming to the front as major
products OF the county Although pc
can growing i'll Terrell is not an eX-
pertinent, until the past year there
were only few groves OF these valu-
able and popular nut trees in the coun-
ty. These groves were owned by
Elladale Estate, DR.. J, G.. Dean, the
J. w. Wooten estate, Lee Brothers
and w. l.. Battle, consisting OF SO
acres, los acres and II acres, re-
spectively.
Within the past year many OF the
farmers OF the county have planted
pecan trees in more or less large num-
bers, and many plan to double their
acreage next year. w. Fl. NDis-
nuke, who already has us acres in
pecans, has budded the trees neces-
Sary to increase to 500 acres at the
earliest opportunity for planting. +.

plans to increase his acreage to 500.
Others having acreage in pecans are

mar, As acres.
Pecans are fairly hardy, require a
minimum OF attention and bring good
prices, the local market last year be-
ing from IS cents to so cents pound.
In other cities and the northern mark
cts they were much higher. New uses
for the pecan and its products are
being found Pecan butter bids fair
to rival peanut butter in popularity as
picnic and lunch dclicacy. Pecan oil
has been used for cooking with good
results, and now a finer grade OF the
oil is used for oiling watches and
other fine mechansms, The price of
/ this oil is about $17 per ounce

in the county are Stuart, Schley and

Strawberries, Pecans and Asparagus
To Rival Cotton as Money Products
Many Pecan Trees Being Planted Terrell Acreage Asparagus
And Strawberries Is Considerably Increased in County

Carl Melton, although still in its in
fancy is fast coming into prominence.
In spite OF the fact that very little
asparagus is used locally the price is
such as to make it profitable crop
even after shipping expenses have
been met The price last year aver
aged about $4 or SIS a crate, while the
yield was about 40 crates to the acre.
DR.. Dean and Mr.. Melton lead in
acreage with 65 acres b. M. Da-
wilson is next with 80 acres. Others
planting asparagus are Walter Mer
GER 20 acres; +. F. Brim, II acres;
j. r. Webb, 10 acres, and w. E. Nc
Rec 20 acres.
Another good crop which has prov
ed successful III Terrell county is
strawberries This fruit always finds
a ready sale at good price. Although
requiring a little more attention than
either pecans or asparagus, the grow
er is amply repaid for the extra time
and effort spent.
Some Of those of the county who
have found strawberry growing prof
table are Wyatt Bridges, leading
with II acres; ID. A. Smith and ]. E.
Cushenberry, 7 acres each; L. A. and
&C. A. Hatcher, 5 acres, and ]. A.
Shields and ]. c. Hollingsworth )
acres.
This is conclusive evidence that cot
ton is not the only thing the farmers
of Terrell county can raise prohtably.
Almost anything can be grown in the
county, and many are beginning to
think on why use their land for rails
ing cotton alone when by planting
other products, they can not only
raise the price OF cotton but have
source of income at all seasons.
