CONTRACTING FOR
POTATOES ALREADY

VALDOSTA, March 27.-Indic-
ative of the prospects of a good de-
n.and for South Georgia sweet POI
tatoes is the report that John Hall,
Of Douglas, has already made con-
tracts with farmers to take the
yield from four thousand acres.
These contracts are being made
ahead and insures the growers of a
standard price for the crop, show
ing that the development of this
industry during the coming season
will bring into the territory an
enormous sum of cash money. The
greater portion of this yield of po-
tatoes will be grown on land after
a crop of tobacco has been produc-
ed and the same fertilizer expenses
will produce both crops. This is
what the sweet potato grower can
cali "velvet" profit.

LIONS URGE EXERCISE:
COURSE FOR K|DDIES
Scouts to Secure Valuable
Training Under Auspices of
Civic Club Leaders

Members of the Lions Club OF
the city are securing permits FOR
use of the vacant lots of the city
by the Boy Scouts, it became known
today.
A committee from the Lions,
working with the Scouts, contemp-
late aiding the Scouts in planting
each of these lots in peanuts, sweet
potatoes or some other commodity
that may be turned into cash in the
fall.
The proceeds will go to the Scouts
for purchasing equipment needed by
them. The question was discussed
yesterday by the Lions at the noon
day luncheon.
Another matter in which the
Lions club is interested and which
they are seeking to interest the 9th
er civic clubs and the board of edu-
cation is regular daily setting-up
exercises in the schools of the city.
DR.. j. T. Stukes, member of the
club, has devoted much thought to
the subject and said to his club yes
terday that he expected to 90 with
committee from the Lions and the
other clubs before the board Of
education to explain their recon-
mendation or suggestion.
DAILY exercise is vital to the
young body" DR.. Stukes said.
Fifteen or 20 or 80 minutes devot-
edtdaily increases their lung capac-
ity, strengthens the abdominal and
other muscles and gives the child a
better opportunity to combat dis
eases now and later in life.
MANY patrons of the schools
have approached US, expressing
their desire that a period of daily
exercise be incorporated in the reg
ular schedule.

RECOMMEND BETTER
PAY FOR TEACHERS

ATLANTA, March 27,-Increase
in the salaries of teachers in the
schools of Epson county, and the
levying of a larger local school tax
are recommended in a report of a
survey made recently in that coun-
ty under the direction of the state
board of education.
The report also recommended a
more strict enforcement of the COM
pulsory attendance law; further
consolidation where practicable; a
continuously taught term, and more
attention to plans for new school
buildings.
Further consolidation, it was
stated, is badly needed in a num-
Der of communities, but this will
be impossible and impracticabIe I'M

By LOVELACE EVE

Prof. Alfred C. Cane, organiSt
for many months at the Rylander
theater, has been transferred to the
Academy of Music at Selma, Ala,
operated by Herbert Kincey anu
associates. Prof Cane leaves
Americas Sunday morning.
Mr. Kincey announces that Prof,
Cane will be succeeded by Miss
Elizabeth Haddock, of Macon; who
comes to the Rylander from Selma.
Miss Haddock played the organ here
for few months some time ago
and gave eminent satisfaction. Her
first appearance will be Monday,
March so.
Prof. Cane convicted the idea
and was active in the organization
of the Community Orchestra, ac-
compishing most gratifying re-
suits as its instructor and leader.
He also conceived the idea of The
Sunday afternoon concerts, which
have drawn packed houses each time
the orchestra has appeared. These
concerts have been an inspiration
to thousands of men, women aud
children, composing the audiences.
Automobile parties come to TIE
city for the Sunday afternoon mu-
sicales from so and so miles dis
tant.
The work and inspiration thrown
into his efforts with the local or
chestra caused me to ask Prof.
Cane one afternoon for his reason
for so doing. Prof Cane said:
we come this way but once; we
can not return; it is gratifying to
a fellow to know that he has done
something worthwhile as he passes.
l do not know how long I will be a
citizen of Americus-we musicians
never know when We may leave. But
after | am gone, l should like to
remember that while in Americas
| did something that will remain af-
ter me. | hope, long after l ara
forgotten, the Americas Commun-
ity orchestra will live and will be an
inspiration to the city that once was
my home. The knowledge that
have done something to make others
happy will repay me for my eff
forts"
That was a beautiful thought
and one which returned to my
mind when l learned that Alfred
Cane was being transferred.
The community orchestra will live
long and with each succeeding
month add to the pleasure and in
spiration of those to whom music
is a solace and a delight.
Americas is indebted to Proc.
Cane for the inspiration which came
to him and which he made a reality,
through the devotion of the art that
is so dear to him.
He added much to the happiness
of others.

GRIFFITH CALLS ORPHANS
OF STORM. lis GREATEST


A motion picture development
of scope never before equailcd
and presented in a manner far more
elaborate than any yet attempted
is what D. w. Griffith promises in
Orphans of the torm," showing for
the last times at the Rylander to-
Gay at 3, $3.50 and 8. Mr.. Griffith
announces he has taken Kate ClaX-
toms oft-used version and on a gi-
gantic scale added to it characters
and scenes Of the French Revolu-
ton.
That Mr.. Griffith has in"orphans
of the Storm" made every effort
to advance the motion picture art
to a degree of high order may BIZ
realized from the fact that he was
more than a year in competing this
work; that he called to his aid the
leading authorities of the world and
sent his architects, artists, research
experts and others to all parts of
Europe in search of correct data
and authentic information.
In order properly to picturize old
Paris of more than century gone
by Mr.. Griffith obtained prints and
mars wherever available and III
some instances where rare plates
might not be had outside famous
museums and libraries, got permits
sion to 90 so, sent his representa-
tives to sketch or copy line for line.
AS a result he has rebuilt that city
in a sense, stone upon stone.

ATTEMPT TO OVERRIDE PRESIDENTS
 VETO ON POSTAL SALARIES BOOST
 THWARTED IN THE SENATE TODAY
Question Is Brought to Floor But Vote Is Fore stalled by Parliamentary Maneuvers-Sterling has Increase Proposal.

Washington, Doc 16-Administra- ton leaders in the senate today blocked an effort 10 override Presi- cent Coolidge's veto of the postal pay bill.
 Senator Ashurst, democrat, An- zona, was successful In bringing the question to the floor but through parliamentary maneuvering & vote was forestalIed.
 The failure Of those advocating overriding was brought about by a decision of President Cummins that Chairman Sterling of the post office committee should have unlimited time to debate his motion that the whole question be sent back to com mittee. The Muscle Shoals bill with a privilege status was on the calen- dar for p. m. and opponents of veto held the floor until that hour automatically displacing the effort to override.
 In the two hour fight democrats, led by Senators Ashurst, Reed Of Missouri, and Harrison of Mississippi and supported by Senator Norris, re- publican, Nebraska, sought in vain to block debate by various parlia- mentary moves.
 At one stage Senator McKellar, democrat, Tenn, moved an appeal from a ruling by President Cummins but this vote also was blocked by Senator Stering's debate,
 The Proposed Bill
 The bill providing for increases in both postal salaries and rates was introduced today by Chairman Sterling of the senate post office committee.
 Senator Ashurst. democrat, Arizo- ra, objected to second reading of the Hl1 and the procedure by which ref tAllce Of It 10 9 committee would T-tn beer, carried out immediately Y nlock He said he would ex- plain his action later
 The increases in rates which would be levied on the third and fourth class mall matter, would call for about $30.0O0,00O. It is esti- mated $12,5O0,000 additional would be gained from proposed increases on postal cards and some miscella- neous first class mail; $10,S76,000 by increases on second class mail, in- cluding newspapers. and S4161, coo by increases on insurance and col lect-on- delivery services. i Senator Sterling favors open hear ings to continue through the Christ mas recess, making possible a report to the floor hy the time congress re- convenes after the holidays
