Peanut Growers Form
Credit Association
Soon Be Ready To Assist Farmers
With Loans for 1924 Crops

ALBANY, Ga, Feb. 26-The Geor-
ga Agricultural Credit Corporation
sponsored by the Georgia Peanut
Growers Cooperative Association is
now applying for a charter and ex
poets at an early date to be in posi-
ton to assist farmers through short
term loans to make plans for their
1924 crops. The credit corporation is
beginning with a minimum capital
stock of only $4,000, which has al
ready been subscribed, yet, this limit
ed sum will make 100000 available
for loans on agricultural paper under
the intermediate Credit Bank plan of
putting up ten dollars of government
money for every dollar of capital
stock subscribed. Stockholders of the
corporation, all of whom are officers
or members of the Peanut Association,
expect the capital stock to be in
creased to 100000 at an early date,
and probably to 100000, which lat
ter sum would make $2,0O0,000 avail
able for farm loans in the State.
Headquarters for the corporation
are at Albany, and Paul J. Brown,
President of the Albany Exchange
National Bank, and Chairman of the
finance committee of the Peanut AS
sociation is Chairman of the new or
ganization. Money, however, will be
deposited in local banks in every place
where banks or individuals take
stock in the cerdit corporation. The
new organization will make available
the first government money ever Of
fered to Georgia farmers lon short
term paper and not on land mortgages
Loans will be made in SOME cases on
crop mortgages, and in other cases
on chattel mortgages or land mort
cages. Cashiers of local banks where
the funds are deposited will pass on
all loans up to $780, but loans in ex-
cess of that amount must be approved
by a loan committee of the corpora
ton. 1t is the plan of the corporation
to secure capital stock subscribed III
the communities where the greatest
agricultural distress exists, in order
that the Peanut Association members
and other coop members may secure
Accommodations in financing their crop
plans for 1924. Under the terms of the
resolution under which the corpora
ton was formed, loans will be limited
to members of standard cooperative
marketing organizations. These funds
will be used to buy seed, fertilizer or
other supplies necessary to produce
the 1924 crop. Since each loan will be
passed on individually, and since the
administration of the corporation will
be in the hands of the Peanut Associa
ton officers or members, it is expected
that members of that coop will bene-
fit most largely from the new credit
organization,
|.
In some parts of Georgia many
farmers are unable to buy seed for
their 1924 crops, and the Peanut asso-
ciation, which has what is said to be
finest seed peanuts ever collected in
Georgia, is unable under its constitu-
ton and bylaws to sell even its mem
bers on time. The new credit corpora
ton is expected. therefore, to be a
great help both to the association and
to its members, who will be able to
borrow money thru the new organiza-
ton at per cent for six to nine
| months

ART IS CIVILIZATION

"You can't be civilized unless you are an artist" I. H. Stoughton Hol- born, one-time extension lecturer of Oxford university, and now director of the department of fine arts of Carlton college, said in lecture recently in Detroit.
 Professor Holborn based his state. ment on carefully worked out defi- milton of civilization, which he phrased as "a noble whole or scheme of indi- viduals, each one valuable and interest ing in itself" By illustration and ex. planation he sought to prove that the same definition applied to art, and SC to understand one perfectly it is neces. sary to understand the other, says the Detroit News.
 In the field of art, the design of a Gothic window illustrated the prin- ciple. When designing window com. posed of many small parts, each one perfect in itself, but each ssmall part unrelated to any central scheme, the result was ridiculous. In like manner window designed only with reference to the plan as whole. such as series of crossing lines, resulted in pattern in which the individual parts were all aiike~and the whole effect flat and un- interesting. Given simple balanced design, however, the window took or beauty without corresponding loss of beauty to the individual parts of the pattern.
 This perfection, he said, is gained by perfect balancing of the principles of individuality and harmony, of which the human body is perfect example The same process must be carried out in civilization, the speaker urged, or else the product will be lopsided.

four passengers negotiated the entire Madoria hill on the Jefferson highway, considered one of the most difffe1llt grades between Montreal and New Or leans because of the sharp turn one quarter of the way up the hill, The car topped the incline at a speed of IS miles an hour.
 There is no more hilly district in the country than Pittsburg, Pa, and i.s environs Life in this jostling, busting city of smoke, steel and 57 varieties of pickles. etc, is just one grand climk after another. Yet since the Overland car has been powered with it's new motor, Overland sales have increased 750 per cent oyer last year. This is largely attributed to the convincing demonstrations staged by dealers there. over the steep grades in that district. In a series of tests, Negley Avenue hill. Heberton Street hill and Penn avenue extension were easily overcome, and then to top it off, the car,- with four passengers, was sent up the well known Turtle Creek hill of the Lincoln highway, six miles east of Pittsburg. making the entire grade of two miles without the slightest hesitation from bottom to top.
 Minneapolis, Huntington, W. Va, in short, every locality where there are hills that have proved bugbears to motorists, have staged similar power demonstrations, amply proving every claim made for this remarkable engine by factory and dealer.

TEETH AT INCEPTION.
Proper Feeding Of Child A Factor ]
 Producing Sound M0lars.

Good teeth are determined before a child is born and the chances are, even without the use of a toothbrush, teeth that are originally sound and, we'll con structed will remain sound for many years.
 The toothbrush does not make good teeth. They are developed the same as any deher part or. organ of the body, and if they are not well constructed and sound it will be fdlnd that the use of toothbrush until doomsday will not save them, says Dr. Harold Cross in the Nations Health.
 Prenatal influences, proper diet, i'm cluding coarse and whole foods-milk, leafy vegetables and fruit-are the things that make good teeth, not the use of the toothbrush. The child should be breast-fed q suitable length of time rather than fed upon any kind of pre-. pared milk or other foods. This makes great difference in the teeth of a young child.

RAISE STANDARD INV
 USED CAR MARKETS
Dealers Doing Everything Within Reason To Maintain
 Reputation For Square Dealing

Auto men have materially raised the standard of their used cars. The time of the '''fly by night" dealer who used to stock up in an old vacant garage for a few days, dispose of stock of worthless rattletraps and then silently fold his tent and disappear has passed. The modern automobile merchant has thousands of dollars invested in his business and he expects to stay. He realizes that the car he sells you today is the same one that he will have to face tomorrow and the next day. He knows, too. that every man has his friend and his friends friend and it is to reach and influence them through the car that he sells you that he has uppermost in mind. He cannot afford to jeopardize his reputation by mis- representation or trickery. He cannot afford to drive trade from his door by selling inferior or unservicable cars as Q first-class product.
 Reliable dealers are doing everything within reason to establish confidence and maintain a reputation for square dealing that will attract customers to his sales floor. Nearly every large automobile firm has it's own recondition- ing plant for overhauling and renewing used cars. Every car that is taken in trade is run through this department. torn down, carefully inspected and then remade, as it were, from the ground up
