Small Family Defended

Ny Dear Miss Lee: ] noticed an article
in your column q few days ago by the
mother of ten children, who styled herself
poor but happy and who criticized moth
ers of one child.
I am the mother of one child sni am
trying my best to give her the care and
education that were denied my mother
who was one of ten children.
It is all we'll and good TO rear large
families hut ] think parents should con-
slider each chi'S's future. We all are en-
titled TO a chance in this world.
How far does man or woman get with
out educ ition, and how can the father Of
ten children who received an ordinary sal
AIRY, give each child the proper education
As far women loving men other thin
their husbands goes. and vice versa, those
things occurred at the beginning OF the
world and will continue 10 the end.
1 never have found a man who could
I'LL my husbands place.
A DEVOTED MOTHER
Your argument is good. However.
1t has always seemed to me that be-
ing the member of a family with
several children is an education in It
self. and that the child who learns
to hold his own in his own family is
better fitted for life than the child
who is the petted darling.
OF course, no modern person would
propose rearing ten children in
poverty as the alternative to rearing
one in luxury. But there is a happy
medium"

HAVE YOUR TEETH X-RAYEr

n TARTLING disclosures have
y been brought to light by the
- use Of X.ray in locating in
lection at the roots OF teeth. The use
OF X-ray during the next five years
will. without doubt, cause a great
change in treatment by both physi
clans and dentists.
Up-to-date dentists are very care
full about removing nerves. The
teeth are often devltalized by nerve
removal, and. though the dentist fills
the root canal, he Is often unable to
remove all Of the infection at the
root OF the tooth. AS a result, there
is a local abscess formation at the
root OF the tooth or a condition still
worse. in which the pus does not 10
calize, but directly enters the blood
stream. II is carried by the blood
stream to the different parts and or
gans of the body. resulting in many
different diseases.
Dr. Gardner. head OF the dental de-
partment OF the Mayo Clinic. showed
how disease may be carried by the
blood stream through pus formation
or from infection at the roots of the
teeth.
He has taken pus material from the
roots Of tooth, in a patient suffer
ing from stone in the kidney, and
put this material In the nerve cavity
after REMOVAL OF a dog. The inter.
esting result Is that stone in the kid
ney was produced in the dog.
We may see SIS a result OF this
transplanting Of the infective material
what may often be the case in thou
sands of human beings. They claim
to be in perfect health. but are they?
The X-ray will tell the story whether
they are or not. Such people often
have strong resistance or strong
fighting forces, on account OF which
they are able to keep an infectious
condition local But let worry work
on their systems or some break oc-
cur In their general health by some in
ter-current infection. and they will
soon be at the physicians office and
find out they may be suffering from
well'marked disease.
Teeth and tonsils are great dis
ease spreaders. Every one who can
should, II the slightest doubt exists,
have his teeth and mouth X-rayed.

All went well, and the girl seemed
happy, until she happened to meet
her former fiance.
After many clandestine meetings,
the man persuaded the girl to leave
her husband. He intended, Of course,
to marry her.
But here is where the moral comes
in. Now the first man finds himself
in love with another girl. Still, he
feels duty-bound to marry the first
girl.
Moral enough in that, isn't there?
And, at the same time, enough ma
terial for a good movie. It is life.

ALBANY POWER DAM
THREATENED BY u. S.
MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT
BUILT WITHOUT SECURING
CONSENT OF CONGRESS.

The United States government
through its representatives, District
Attorney F. G.. Boatwright, OF the
southern district OF Georgia, and
Charles L. Redding, assistant district
attorney, has presented Judge w. II.
Barrett, of Augusta, with a petition
seeking to have torn down the Geor-
gia-Alabama Power company dam
near Albany, Ga, because the con-
struction of the power dam was not
done with the consent OF congress.
Estimated value of the dam is ST.
100000
Judge Barrett signed an order re-
curing the Georgia-Alabama Power
company officials to appear before
him at 10 O'Clock on the morning OF
October / to show cause why the
prayers of the government should not
Ibe granted and the Construction" as
the dam is described in the petition
be removed from the Flint river.
The petition in equity alleges that
the dam was built without securing
the proper consent of congress and
without first submitting the plans Tor
its construction to the chief OF engi-
neers as required by the federal
statutes.
The dam has been in use for con-
siderably more than four years, and
supplies large portion of south Geor-
gia with power.
Besides Albany, near which place
the dam is located, Moultrie, Pelham,
Baconton, Leesburg, Smithville and
Sales City depend upon the dam for
electric power.

BARBER ASSISTS GIRL IN
KEEPING VOW TO MOTHER
Got Her "Sheba Shingle" in Plane
1900 Feet Up.

CHICAGO. - Never on earth, "
was the uncompromising answer by
the mother OF Miss Molly Michaelson,
who pleaded for permission to bob
her hair.
q can't endure this great mop OF
hair much longer" Miss Molly con-
fided to Tony De John, proprietor OF
a barber shop or "bobber" shop, as
she was having it washed. 81 want a
Cleo clip or a 'Sheba shingle,' but
mother has put her foot down and
says, mo, never on earth"
Il can fix it, said Tony, "if you
are game. We can do the job in the
air"
So he packed his scissors and other
instruments in a bag and he and Mol
1y went to a flying field. Pilot Sloni-
ger brought out a big plane and the
girl and the barber were slowed in a
rear seat. When they were 1,500 feet
up, Miss Molly exchanged her "horse
and buggy" for the latest bob. A
photographer in another plane closely
trailing them, took pictures of the OPP
Grafton to prove to the girls mother
that she had not broken her pledge
to have her hair bobbed con earth.

Bv r. P Bledsoe. Agronomist,

There are number OF different
species OF vetch which are more or
less valuable in Georgia. Chiefly be-
cause OF its hardness, hairy vetch IS
generally to be preferred. Up until
the time OF the world war most OF
our supply Of seed came from Russia.
The high price OF seed since this. time
has largely prevented the use OF this
crop. This year, however, there IS an
abundant supply OF seed and farmers
should be able to obtain seed at 10 to
II cents per pound
Hairy vetch is valuable as green
manure hay or winter pasture. For
hav or grazing, it is usually sown with
oats or rye. Rye is the best COM
panion crop to use for grazing and
oats for hay. If oats are scare beard
less wheat may be used instead. For
green manure vetch is usually sown
by itself except on very poor land,
where it should be sown with rye. The
plant is adapted to a wide range OF
soils. However, ii will not succeed
on poorly drained land. Growth is
made during the cool part OF the year
Hairy vetch should be seeded at the
rate of about 20 to rs pounds OF seed
per ace when alone. Where it is
seeded with some small grain the vetch
is seeded at the rate of about IS to
20 pounds per acre, and the small
grain at the usual rate. Vetch should
be seeded at the same time as winter
grains. This means about the last OF
September in the mountain section of
Georgia the middle of October in the
Piedmont, and from the first to the
middle Of November in the Coastal
Plains. Vetch should not be planted
until the hot, dry fall weather has
broken. 1t may be seeded at any time
oats may, but late seeding is apt to
decrease the yield. Seed should be
covered from l to 2 inches deep in
clay soils and to inches deep in
sandy soils

SELLS HIS TOBACCO
CROP FOR $9,500.0O
MITCHELL COUNTY FARMER
CLEARS $1,000 ON BIG CROP
GROWN THIS YEAR.

PELHAM, GA transaction that
has caused much interest in this sec
ton was the sale by Owen Davis OF
his tobacco crop, consisting OF fifty
acres, to R. E. Currin, of Greenville'
North Carolina, for the consideration
of $4,000.
This tobacco was shipped to the
Valdosta market by Mr.. Currin, and
to the shipment goes the distinction
of being the first carload lot Of to-
bacco that was ever shipped from
Pelham
It is understood Mr.. Davis says this
price nets him a profit OF about $4,000
on the fifty acres, after allowing for all
expenses, including the cost OF build
ing his barns
The tobacco crop in Mitchell county
is very fine this year, and is said by
men from North Carolina to be some
of the best tobacco they have ever
seen.

ASK LOWER RATES
ON FARM PRODUCE
SAYS FARMING
RETARDED BY EXCESSIVE
FREIGHT CHARGES.

The Georgia house and senate ask
ed the states representative in con-
gress, through joint resolutions adopt
ed Thursday, to lay before the Inter
state Commerce Commission the
''frightful condition" of freight rates
which, according to the resolutions,
are so high as regards commodities
produced in Georgia as to strife pro-
duction.
The resolutions asserted that freight
rates upon food products particularly
are so high in Georgia that the pro-
Queer receives practically nothing af-
ter transportation is paid. Diversified
farming, the resolutions asserted, is
being greatly injured by the alleged
condition.
The senate adopted the resolutions
which originated in the house, with the
provision that they be forwarded tc
Georgia senator's and congressman.

MANY RICH INDIAN
MAIDS READY TO WED
FEDERAL LAW DEGREES THAT
SEVERAL HUNDRED NOW
ELIGIBLE FOR MARRIAGE.

WAURIKA, Okla-Several hun
dred Indian maidens OF the Chickasaw
and Choctaw tribes in Oklahoma, who
were babes eighteen years ago when
allotments were made in these nations,
reached their majority, by virtue of
an act of congress, on March 4, 1924.
Generally the fact had been overlook
ed in this territory, but an old man
revealed his recollection OF it when
he began searching for some OF these
maidens that he might obtain oil leases
to their lands.
The number of such maidens ap-
pears not to be known outside the
agency office at Muskogee. Nor IS
the residence of many OF them gen
orally known.
But wherever they are they are now
competent to get married and make
disposition OF their lands, some OF
them subject, of course, to provisions
of laws governing fullbloods and mix
ed bloods. The lands of many are in
Jefferson, Carter ARD Stephens coun-
ties, where oil fields exist and wild
caters are seeking to identity new
fields. Some of them have been rich
from oil incomes for several years.
The making OF a common birth
day for several hundred Indian chill
dren was one governing these Indians.
They were babes when allotments
were made, but lands were set aside
for them. Congress said the female
babes should have their eighteenth
birthday on March 4, 1924, and male
babes their common majority birth
day on March 4, 1927.
An illustration of the forgetfulness
OF fortune-seeking and adventurous
young men OF the country is revealed
by the fact that the number OF June
weddings in the Indian country was
only normal for the season.
