Facts About

Sugar refineries are located

Georgia has | 1000 square
miles more territory than Lou-
isiana has, l75,000 mole farms
than Louisiana has, 100000
more population than Louisiana

Stunning, non-producing regions
of northwestern Europe and
northeastern America. Still,
Louisian has three and one-half
million dollars invested in docks
and wharves at New Orleans.
Georgias crops during the
year 1923 were worth approx
mately $24,000.000 more than
in 1922, this being due to in
creases in the value of corn, po-
tatoes and other major products. :
The 1924 crop will be even
more valuable, it is said. -.

@Here s a story we picked up
the other day-one of those
believe it or not stories-that
undoubtedly will be interesting
to the many poultry raisers of
Sumter county.
Out in Hutchinson, Kansas, is
Buff Orpington chicken that
is one of those freaks which oc-
cur occasionally, so the story
goes, for no apparent reason
but to give the biological sharps
something over which to the
orize,
Starting life as pullet, she"
was exhibited in a poultry show
in 1922 and the judges consid-
cred her such good pullet they
awarded her first prize over a
number of high-class entries.
During the succeeding year she
laid eggs. Her owner, N. T.
Holmes, of this city, considered
her one of his best and most
profitable birds and entered her
in another show in December,
1923, where she carried off the
fourth-prize honors as a mature
hen.
In the summer of 1924, how
ever, something happened to
Biddy. She quit laying. Her
comb. which previously had
been small as BELTS a pure-berd
Buff Orpington hen, began to
grow. Today she has a hens
body, but a ROSTERS head, with
the full comb development
common to male birds Of the
breed. Her present owner,
George j. Burke, a poultry ex-
pert, bought her for experiment
tai purposes. He stated she
was moulting when the picture
was taken, but that undoubt-
,edly she is putting forth more
tail feathers than a normal hen.
Local poultrymen are won
dering what sex should be as
signed her or him or it as the
case may be.

Women Voters

The fear used to be express
ed that, once women had the
vote, an avalanche of mo: aliza-
ton, laws would sweep the land.
This fear has so far not been
justified. The two national or
CARNATIONS of women have
shown great hnesse in avoiding
-prohibitive laws. Their present
interest lies elsewhere. writes
Edna X enton in The Forum.
As a matter of fact and
worthy of note, the New York
State League of Women Voters
went on record last January as
favoring amendment of the New
York state law prohibition dis
semination of birth control in
formation. No one knows yet
whether women are conserva-
tive or revolutionary. for no test
has come.
So far politics has not been
purified. But, just because the
womans vote is still an UNI
known quantity, it is enough to
give pause to politicians at least.
There is no data available re-
garding women influence on
issues that makes any assertion
regarding it interchangeable.
But it is not rash to say that
a debatabIe candidate for
purely local office is likely to
be less certain Of election now
than in the good old days when
the gang gathered to vote and
the respectable citizen stayed
disguised at home. This may
be publication of politics; it
may be also considered in terms
of a common-sense use of the
ballot.
Data is also lacking on how
generally women vote. Abso-
lutely no statistics are available,
and one guess is as good as an
other. A careful correlating Of
expert opinions, however, tends
toward the conclusion that wo-
men vote in about the same
ratio as men, as interestedly or
as indifferently.

Common AS June Bugs

At one time under the last
car the Russian possessions, in
Guiding Siberia, were supposed
to contain l80,000,000 people.
1t would be an interesting
game for some statistician to
figure out how many millions
of these were princes and prin-
cesses.
Even today, after the Boil
sheviks have murdered hum
dreds of them, all Europe
swarms with Russian princes
and princesses.
They are as common as June
bugs in summer time. And no
wonder. Is a man a Russian
prince? Then all his kids are
princes and princesses. And
when they marry and have off
spring more princes and prin-
cesses.
Which is why in London,
Paris and Berlin a great many
milliners, dress-makers and tea
shop owners have this dis
tinguished sounding title. And
also why it's easy for some
snobbish American girl with
lots of money to capture a
prince.
But wise British and French
marnas steer their girls away.
They know that these Russian
titles are a drug on the market.
