Being suburbanite, the radio is
my greatest source Of amusement.
and ! am not in any way unappreci-
ative of the free entertainment rem
dered thereby.
I cannot, however, let the oppor-
tuntty pass without voicing criticism
of the boresome praise of Fred Lind
strom. third baseman for the Giants.
by Mr.. McNamee from the Polo
Grounds during the world series
games.
Every one interested in base ball
cannot but admire the great playerS
and especially the youngsters in their
first world series, but it would seem
in broadcasting such an event the an
nouneer should at least be neutral
and give some Of the other players
credit. New York is probably Mr..
McNamee's home town.
One would infer from Mr.. Nc
Namoe's unceasing praise of Lind
strom that he was the only player
on the lot and regardless of his stel-
lar playing it grows monotonous; it
is even more tireSome than "Alabama.
- for Underwood
Being a Washington fan I may be a
little narrow minded, but trying to
listen to the description of the game,
cooking supper, and attending to my
throe children at the same time, 1t
would add to my enjoyment to hear a
little more about what the other
IT players were doing because my
present impression from Mr.. McNa-
mee's description of the wonderful
Lindstrom is that McGraw could fire
everybody but that worthy player,
and still have a worlds champion

CORN DAMAGED BY
SEPTEMBER FROSTS
LOSS OF 100000 BUSHELS IN
MONTH. POOREST CROP
IN MANY YEARS.

Frosts played havoc with the coun-
try's corn crop during September and
the forecast of production by the crop
reporting board of the Department OF
Agriculture shows loss of 54,000,000
in the month with the present pros
pective production placed at 2,459,000,-
600 bushels, much of which will be
of the low grade.
The wheat crops prospects were
increased to the extent of 100000
bushels, with the total crop now pre-
iminari1y estimated at 856,000,00C
bushels, of which 589000,000 is win
ter wheat Spring wheat, the prelimi-
nary estimate shows, is an excellent
crop with 266,000,000 bushels of which
93.4 per cent is of high medium
grade.
There is a large crop of oats, esti-
mated at 1,509,000,000 bushels; a po-
tato crop that is above average, with
prospective production placed at 424,
100000 bushels, or 100000 bushels
more than last year; and large cul-
tivated hay crop of 95,l00,000 tons, or
about ten million tons above average
Tobacco production, estimated al
1,l82,0O0,000 pounds, is 009,000,00C
pounds below last years crop and rice
is below expectations. Sweet potatoes
apple and cranberry production also
are below last year.
Reports of a low condition of corn
come from all parts of the country
and throughout the south it is "the
poorest corn crop in years" in many
localities. A large proportion of soft
corn is inevitable and the percentage
merchantable will be much below the
average.
A decrease of about Is per cent in
production of wheat this year as COM
pared with last year is indicated Tor
twenty-seven countries of the northern
hemisphere producing about 90 per
cent of the crop. Practically complete
and official estimates place the guam
tity at 1,509,000,000 bushels, compared
with 1,841 100000 bushels last year
That includes all the important pro
ducing countries excepting the United
States, France, Roumania, Russia ano

BIGGEST HOLE IN THE
EARTH is PROPOSED
ENGLISH ENGINEER WANT S
TO DIG IL MILES DOWN.
WOULD TAKE so YEARS.

Sir Charles A. Parsons, an eminent
English engineer, proposes the drill
ing of a hole in the earth II miles
deep and 20 feet in diameter, just to
see what is beneath the surface at that
depth. His proposition was advanced
at meeting of scientific men in New
York city. Sir Charles is the inventor
of the steam turbine engine.
He said that there may be minerals
and chemicals far below the surface of
the earth of whose existence nothing
is known and which would be OF pro-
found importance ii they could be
utilized by scientists
Will Cost Eighty Million.
"We know nothing of what is below
our feet but we do know that the
heaviest minerals are at the center of
the earth" said Sir Charles. I'VE dom
know what there is down there, at a
depth of II miles, but we ought to;
that's the point"
He explained. that it would take so
years to sink the shaft, and that it
would cost about $80,000,000 He pro-
posed the financing of the project by
wealthy men interested in science and
that it be considered from an inter
national aspect.
Il would have the shaft lined with
granite" continued Sir Charles, be
cause experiments have shown that
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1924-10-14

granite will not fall in. The shaft
would be sunk to different levels in
the Same way that mining shafts are
sunk, and it would be necessary, after
we got down to a sufficient depth, to
have the heat pumped out.
1T is not a commercial project, and
there is no money to be made out OF
it by myself or any one else, but from
a scientific standpoint it is something
of equal importance to polar expedi-
tons"

Senior Class.

The Dawson high school, after re-
Taxing from the monotonous monthly
tests, together with the outcome of
reports of the first months work, is
again busy endeavoring to do even
better the second month.
On Wednesday the periods OF work
were cut short in order that the stu
dents might finish the full days task
in time to see the street parade OF the
circus, which took place down town.
On account of misunderstanding as
to the time used by Dawson the pa
rade occurred an hour sooner than
was expected and only few members
of the school had a chance to witness
it,
Surely the inglorious defeat OF the
Albany and the Sylvester football
teams at the hands of the Dawson
warriors has given enthusiasm to the
people of the city. Next Friday the
crack team from Cordele will meet the
Dawson players. 1t will be remember
ed that the Dawson boys were defeat
ed in Cordele last season. Come out
in full force and see the Dawson boys
get revenge from the Cordele boys.
Remember the date, Friday afternoon.
Give the school cooperation and the
school will give the people co-opera-
ton.
Tenth Grade.
The tenth grade was certainly rep
resented at the CIRQUE Wednesday al
ternoon and night-that is, judging
from the manner in which the mem
bers recited their lessons Thursday
morning. But, at last, the effects OF
the davis entertainment is gone, and
the school has again settled down to
the usual routine. We will study
hard and, perhaps, when the next cir
Gus comes to Dawson the faculty Will
have forgotten about the reaction OF
the one just passed and allow us
whole holiday then. A debate, Re
solved, that it is better to allow the
school children to have holiday on
circus day than one the day after, "
would be in order now. There are
some good points for both sides.
Ninth Grade.
The ninth grade is planning to have
a party soon. 1t is about time tor
Hallowe' EN-, and it is probable that the
committee appointed to arrange the
social function will bear this in mind
when planning the affair.
We turned out in full force for the
circus Wednesday. We suppose you
saw us with balloon and whip and
everything. We had grand time, even
if we did forget to get our lessons Tor
the next day,
Mr.. Morgan delivered a very in
spiring lecture in chapel Thursday
morning. The subject of his talk was
Athletics and School Spirit" Wen
tell the world he aroused our atten-
ton. In all probability we will turn
ont in larger numbers hereafter at the
athletic events.
Eighth Grade.
The past week held nothing in store
for the eighth grade with the excep-
tion of receiving reports. No startling
high marks were made by any OF the
students, and a large number were
greatly disappointed. We have all re-
solved to make our parents and teach-
ers happy the coming month by 40

We all enjoyed the circus, and al

Because of the smaller groups in
the county normals more of the per-

SCHOOL ROOM HELPS
Why The County Normal Schools
Are \ Success

Are \ Success
Think of all the rural schools of
| Ohio. Imagine an unframed teach
er in each of them. Such would
probably be the present situation in
Ohio were it not for the county nor
nal schools. The graduates from
two-year courses are not even
enough to supply the demand in our
cities.
The county normals have helped
keep down the teacher shortage. In
| 1920 over 40 per cent of the elemen-
tary teachers that year who were
! trained to meet the requirements for
one year certificates, were trained
in the county normals.
! 1t is in large measure due directly
and indirectly to the county normal5
! that the rural schools of Ohio now
rank near the head of the list among
the rural schools of the nation. Not
so long ago the rank was in the for
ties
The county normal schools are the
least expensive to the public of our
training schools for elementary
teachers. The cost per capita in
1920 was approximately half that Of
the cost per capita in other training
schools for such teachers.
The expense to the pupil himself
is less. There are no entrance fees
or other fees. His travelling eX-
penses are slight. The amount of
cash needed is often reduced be-
cause he brings provision from home
and boards himself Many students
Of good calibre come from homes
where cash is scarce. These stu
dents would be deprived of a chance
to show their worth were it not for
school near at hand.
County normal students are givel
| frst-hand experience amid the con-
| ditions under which they will later
work. Their practice and obSerya-
tion work is carefully supervised in
one-room, centralized, and village
schools They gain confidence ani
poise By meeting real situations
