thoroughly renovated before being
filled for the season.
It is planned by the new presi-
dent to feature the opening Of the
pool this summer with an appropi-
ate program, probably including q
bathing suit revue as one of its fea-
ture. Details Of this program, how
ever, remain to be worked out, and
President Warren was unable to
state definitely today what cere-
monies would marke the reopen
ing. He is extremely anxious, how
ever, to get the pool open again by
Thursday afternoon, when hum
dreds Of out-of town visitors will be
asked to come here and join with
all the people Of Americas in start
ing the swimming season at the
Playground with an enthusiasm
worthy Of the undertaking and the
men and women who are behind
the Playground enterprise.
Persons who subscribed for Play
ground bonds are asked by Presi-

the funds these will supply are ur-
gently needed in connection with

officials as soon as possible, with
the definite date Of opening to be
made public probably on Tuesday

1000 Oars TOMATOES
READY. NOW AT PAVO
Huge Quantity of Truck Viii
Go Forward There During
Next Ten Days

MOULTRIE, June 7.-Nearly
1000 cars of tomatoes will be
shipped from the Pavo section with
in the next few weeks, according Ia
railroad men here. The first car
will go forward the latter part of
this week and the movement will
be heavy in about ten days. 1t is
the first season that tomatoes have
been grown on such a big scale,
in Georgia, according to agricultur-
lists here.
The crop is said to be in fine con
dition and with reasonably good
prices, the growers expect to draw
down big profits. The Pavo sec
ton also is producing other truck
crops on a big scale. The north
bound Georgia Northern train a
night or SO ago carried 1880 crates
of beans and squash, or a little
more than two car loads.
Doerun, Norman Park, and Ell
lenton are also rapidly becoming
big truck centers and large ship
ments have been moving from those
points. Truckers on the whole are
said to be we'll pleased with the re-
turns they have been receiving
from their crops. The money be-
ing brought in is also having a slim
ulating effect on business in all
lines, Moultrie retailers assert.
Further improvement will be reg
istered when the melon season
starts, about June Is and this viii
be followed by the marketing of to-
bacco in July.

We have further learned that tuber-

important. Our state sanitorium was

Ignite COAL
PRODUCTION AT
HIGHEST POINT
Production During Year 1922
Reached Total of Over
l.3CO. 200 Tons
RURLEIGH GREATEST
More Coal Produced in This
County Than Any Other,
Reports Show
BURLEIGH GREATEST

Production Of Ignite coal in North
Dakota mines reached the highest
figure in 1928 in the history of the
mining industry in the state, ac
cording TO report mTde public to-
day by J. T. Mellon, state mine in
spector. The production was 1885,
G05 tons. as compared to l,057,823
tons in 1929, s95,7l5 tons in 1921
and Scoops tons in the year 1911,
according to the report. Value of
the coal is placed at $3,7I2,al3.l5.
The boom in the Ignite industry,
during the coal shortage and period
of high prices for eastern coal, is
attributed in part to the educational
campaign carried on by the North
Dakota Ignite Coal Operators As
ISOLATION, which has resulted in
many large utility and industrial
plants installing special apparatus
for use in burning Ignite coal.
There were 259 Ignite coal mines
cording to the report. The biggest
producing county is Burleieh, with
29l $40 tons of coal, and next is Burke
with 1888 tons of coal produced
last year. Mercer was third was
205,S33 tons of coal, and production
in no other counties exceeded 10000
tons.
Mr. Mellon, stating the increase in
production over the previous year
was 1876 percent, estimated that
100000 tons Of coal were mined and
not repo ted Accidents were report
ed rs lew.
Recommendation is made that
funds be provided the department for
the purchase of apparatus to be
used in fighting mine fires or in
rescue work. Legislation regulating
the control of fires by the mine de-
partment is urged, and increased
appropriations for the department
asked. The increase III the produc-
tion of Ignite coal by years is given
