TA7XII MEN BOOST
PRICES ON RIDES
Repeated Advances in Gasoline
Market Responsible, Say Men
Who Operate Cars

Taxi fares in Americas are go
ing up. Gasoline costs too much to
haul people around at the old prices,
say taxi men, but up to this after
noon the advance in fuel costs had
made little impression upon the
other riders in the community. So
you'll have to pay a dime more if
you ride hereafter in an Americas
taxi The distance doesn't make
the difference, the boost is in the
minimunfAprice, and the scale for
longer rides will continue to be a
matter between each passenger and
his taxi chauffeur.
Justifying the increases in fares,
the taxi operators aver there have
been no less than six increases in
the price of gasoline during tire
past sixty days and that at last the
burden has grown too heavy to be
absorbed, hence they are passing
along to the customer a part of the
increased expense in. the shape of
slightly increased minimum fares.

LEGUMES PROMISE MORE
THAN MUSCLE SHOALS

"Grow more legumes and let Ma
ture take care of your fertilizer needs
Let the air help take care of your
fertilizer bills"
This is the suggestion soil and crop
specialists of the Georgia State Coll
eye of Agriculture make to help keep
the cost of fertilizer down. Nitrogen
is the most expensive constituent IN
factory mixed fertilizer, they say, and
economy necessitates the using of a
part of the unlimited quantities OF nj
trogen found in the air over Georgia
farms.
The clovers and vetches have been
found to make available about sixty
pounds of nitrogen per acre, ana
when the whole crop is turned under,
the fertilizer value is equivalent to the
addition of five or six loads Of stable
manure.
A good legume hay crop turned I'M
der will lead to profitable and perma-
nent farming. 1t would require tour
tons of ordinary mixed fertilizer per
acre containing two pr cent ammon-
ia to furnish an amount OF nitrogen
equal to a good crop of vetch or Glow
err. If purchased in mixed form this nj
trogen would cost from $40 to SIS a
ton
Spy all means" the college men re-
peat with emphasis, "give the air a
chance through more legunes on the
farm before complaining of the big
fertilizer BILL Clover and vetch are
much more promising nitrogen fac
tories than Muscle Shoals"

ALICE

Well. Alice, as long as you have
asked my opinion, I'll try to be per
fectly honest about it. First OF all, why
limit it to Leap year? II girl has
nerve enough to propose during Leap
Year, why not do it any year she
wants to? l really don't see why an
extra day in the year should make
any difference.
Nv opinion is that l would rather
die an 'iold-maid" than propose to
man. l have my doubts as to whether
or not man who couldn't do his own
proposing would be of much use as
husband. OF course, l can argue
with myself and ask myself; why
shouldn't 1 propose to Jack? l know
he loves me, and I'm crazy about him.
IF | work-have position almost as
good as his-if I havee quail rights IN
voting-and have to pay taxes-why
shouldn't have equal rights in mar
rage? Why should lose the man L
love because he hasn't the nerve to
propose to me, and because being
woman, I can't propose to him.
don't believe it's fair
Yes, Alice that logical, but has
anyone ever been logical about love!
You can go ahead arguing-trying to
convince yourself and your friends
that you are going to propose to Jack
but the Jacks in the world are going
to go right ahead doing the propos-
ing-if they want to-and the Alices
in the world are going t. t"op on
wondering why they can't do some
Of the proposing.
You see Alice, where love enters in
% the game, we forget all about rea-
son and logic, and I don't believe there
would be quite as many marriages II
we let reason and logic have the
-ight-of-way and forgot all about
sentiment.
OF course, you have to help the man
long, because few of them are self
tarters. But if you do your very best
O lead a man up to the point where,
