ALBANY LIONS HAVE
'EATLESS LUNCHEON

ALBANY, May 81. ~ Albany
Lions yesterday helped to swell The
fund TO send the local Confeder
ate veterans to the Memphis re-
union by gathering at an "eatless
luncheon" at the New Albany hotel
where their regular weekly luncheon
are held. Several weeks
ago a request was made Of the Lions
Club that it allow the United Daugh,
tiers Of the Confederacy to serve
one weeks luncheon, the profits to
go to the veterans fund. AS the
club already had planned to have
a ladies night entertainment at the
Camp Fire Girls hut that week, it
was decided, instead of having the
U. D C. serve a luncheon, to do
without luncheon one week and give
the money thus saved to the fund.
At later meeting the secretary
of the Lions was instructed to keep
the date of the 'eatless luncheon"
a secret from the member, and 10
was Sprung" on them yesterday
as q surprise. The hotel manage
ment joined in the spirit, and The
regular club musicians, Miss Helen
Rixey and Walter Sheets, also vol
unteered to do without their lunca-
cons for the same cause.

AID GEORGIA FARMERS
VIII Enable Buyers to Assemble
Eggs For Carload Shipping
During Heavy Laying Season

ATLANTA, May 31.-To encour-
age the development of the poultry
industry in the South, the Southern
Railway System has authorized the
storage in transit of carload ship
ments Of eggs at Atlanta, Birmlng-
ham. Chattanooga, Louisville and
Jacksonville, through its Egg Trans
it Tariff No. 1" which has been filed
with the Interstate Commerce Corn
mission and is now in effect.
Under this tariff, eggs can be
placed on storage in the cities named
at which there are ample refrigera-
ton facilities, and later reconsigned
to a wide range Of destinations at
the through rate from point Of ORR
gin, plus a transit charge Of five
cents per hundred pounds. Eggs
placed on storage under this arr
rangement can also be eXportea

countries in which there is large
market for eggs from the United
States.
In explaining the advantages Of
this arrangement to poultrymen Of
the South, General Agricultural
Agent Roland Turner, Of the South
ern, said:
This arrangement has been put
in effect to encourage dealers and
organizations of farmers at local
points to buy eggs during the heavy
laying season, assemble them in car
load lots, and ship them to the stsr-
age points where they can be he'd
until market conditions justify re-
shipping them for sale. In this way,
farmers will be provided a year

eggs during the spring months when
the local markets are glutted.''
