MOVE FOR NATIONAL PARK
FOR NORTHERN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, April IL Louis B.
Magid, of Tallulah Park, Ca has adj
dressed letter to all members of the
Georgia delegation in congress, urg-
ing them to use their efforts to have
the proposed southern national park
located in that part of the lower APP
palachian range that comprises the
northern section of Georgia.
Mr.. Magid advances as one of the
principal reasons for locating the pro-
posed national park in northern Geor-
gia, the fact that this section is easy
access to people residing in the south
ern states, including lower Georgia
the Carolinas, Florida, Alabama, Miss
ippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and
Tennessee and Kentucky
"Inasmuch as the proposed park is
to be southern national park says
Mr.. Magid in his letter, 1T should be
made available to as many people in
the southern states as is possible"
He also points to the quick and com
Portable transportation facilities that
would be available to and from such
a southern national park, and speaks
of the Georgia climate that makes out
door sports possible and comfortable
the year round as additional incentives
for locating the national park in this
section.
He points further to the fact that
the northern Georgia section of the
Appalachian range will be the termi-
nus of the hiking trail being construc-

TO LOCATE NORTHERN
FARMERS IN SOUTH

ATLANTA, April 1.-THE sugges-
ton recently made by agriculturistS
here that the civic clubs of southern
cities generally can do fine work by
taking up the problem of finding
Southern rural homes for Northern
and Western farmers, who are eager
to locate where the climate is more
genial, has been received with great
interest and reports show that steps
will soon be taken in that direction.
AS pointed out by leading agricul-
turlsts, there are many thousands OF
acres of fine farming lands in the
South capable of the highest degree
of cultivation now lying idle. There
is room in the South for many good
farmers from other parts of the coun-
try, it is stated, but an influx of i'm
migrants are not wanted, it is assert
ed.
Both business men and agriculturists
here and in other sections of the
state, in discussing the subject of i'm
migration, are inclined to endorse the
position taken by U. S. Senator w. J.
Harris of Georgia to place rigid re-
strictions on the importation of the
foreign element.
Georgia Senator's Position
Considerable interest was shown by
agrculturists in reports of the Harris
immigration speech i'll the national Sc
nate several days ago. The plan of
the Georgia senator is to stop all i'm
migration for five years. He said he
favored the 1890 census as a basis if
his plan for five years was not adopt
ed.
81 have no prejudice against the
foreigner that in years gone by came
too our shores with his mind made
up to become really and truly one OF
us, putting aside for good and all his
allegiance to his native land" the
Senator is quoted as saying, but
when the foreign stock, as it does
now, exceeds in numbers our native
white American stock, it is time tc
call halt on all immigration"
Senator Harris declared that hi
meant no reflection on good citizens
of foreign birth when he stated the
undfsputed fact, "that many of those
who have come to our country do moi
measure up to the average of the
people of their native land" He tool
the position that America must have
selective, restrictive immigration, anc
the present percentage quota shoulc
be reduced to l per cent, if eve dc
not entirely prohibit immigration fol-
the time being"
Senator Harris called attention tt
the fact that in his own state, Georgia
one-sixth of the farm laborers have
left within two years and many of his
friends, some of them with large plan
tations and facing shortage of labor
have urged him not to support re-
strictive immigration. so that foreign
ers would continue to come to supply
labor for the North and East and "our
labor would not be mo1ested."
I'VE can not lose sight of the flu
ture when we consider this measure
the very salvation of our country is
at stake" declared Senator Harris.
This will not be the same America
unless we change our immigration
policy. We must think of our grand
children and consider only the future
of America"

station, on the way to a suburban

Smith was known best as a hvmn writ
er, having produced more than 900
sacred and patriotic songs-"America''

He was graduated from Harvard,
and Andover Seminary; was profess

The ANSWER is ''Yes," if YOU choose the RIGHT stove

VOU have to have plenty of heat for

the range going only when you are actually

will find that the heat in Florence Oil

FACILITIES

Work is in progress on extensive
improvements of the Great Northern
icing facilities at this terminal. The
work is beng done by the Wester
Fruit Express which was recently or
ganized to take over the refrigerator
transportation Of the whole Great
Northern system.
Sixteen electric motors, ranging
fom five to fifteen horse power, will
be installed for handling ice both in
side and outside the houses, for fill
ing the houses and refrigerating cars.
The present storage. capacity of the
local houses is large, but will be in
creased by the removal of another
house from Havre here. The total
cost of the work will be many thous-
and dollars. A contract has been
entered into with the Listerud Power
Co. for current to operate the plant.
It is the intention to make Wolf

VIDA BOYS MAKE B.
OLDFIELD LOOK CHEAP

Ed Krebsbach, accompanied by
Harry Stebbins and Jimmy Duane,
came up from Vida Monday in Eds
red-devil car, which is the very latest
style of motor-driven conveyance. AS
near as one not familiar with the
mechanical intricacies of the machine
can describe it, it is a cross between
a fivver and fier. At present it
travels on the surface of the earth
by means of an aeroplane propeller
hitched to the front end of Ford.
Last winter when there was plenty
of snow Ed and his friends were
travelling on runners behind the same
propeller. This year in the absence
of sleighing, he is going on wheels
and. in fact, on air, but not yet in
the air. Next spring the boys at
Vida will put their invention out in
the Montana sunshine and rain and
expect it to sprout wings. Then
they can take the air right and not
be compelled to bust the speed laws.
At present the car is inconvenient
in town as there are too many cor
ners. Ninety miles an hour is the
slowest it will consent to go, but it
is sure great stuff out in the great
open places" you read about.

TOM MIX UNDERTAKES
new COMEDY ROLE

Although Tom Mix appears in a
comedy role in his first special pro-
duction, "Soft Boiled" there are
enough serious situations to COM
mand his many-sided talent Mix
has the support of beautiful Billie
Dove and clever cast, which, of
course, includes his famous horse
"Tony," and his dog "Blackie."
"Soft Boiled" comes to the Liberty
Theatre on Thursday-Friday for a
run of two days.
Tom Mix in the role of a shoe
clerk, sounds almost impossible. But
he does it and consciously or other
wise, proves that beneath his here
tofore "hard-boiled" exterior, he has
been carrying the ability of natural
comedian. The story is a rapid
moving yarn dealing with a quick
tempered westerner, who falls in
love with girl on a passing train.
Under the stipulations of will die
tated by hot tempered uncle, the
youth must control his desire to
fight or lose his inheritance.
