CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
is HEAVILY INSURED
NEW POLICY FOR PROTEC-
TON OF EMPLOYEES TOTALS
20 MILLION DOLLARS.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-The Central of
Georgia Railway has become one of
the most heavily insured transporta4
ton lines in the world through an ar
rangement for a group policy, just
placed.
The new insurance provides for So
100000 in protection on the lives of
employees, in addition to a group pol
icy already held by the Central of
Georgia for total OF $10,800,000 and
is regarded as of great significance
because of the fact that it is issued on
the contributory basis-employes share
with their employers in the payment
of the premiums and by a large ma
jority agreed to the increase.
The original group policy held by
the railway workers provided for life
insurance protection of from 1000 to
$4,000 on skilled workers, according
to the salaries received and of from
$500 to $1,000 for the unskilled en-
ployes, this latter based on length of
service. The new policy provided for
the doubling of the protection previ-
ously held and the opportunity to &C
quire it at the group rate was accept
ed by more than 90 per cent of the
men and women workers. The Cen
trail pays part of the premiums.

D f World Bu $50 600 900 Worth From u

cultural machinery and implements to
Canada alone were approximately $10,-
100000 Argentina over S6,000,0O0,
France about 81, 100000 and Europe
as whole over $15,000,000. The ag-
gregate value OF agricultural machin-
cry and implements exported since the
beginning of 1000 is over 100000, 600.
The enlargement of world food pro-
duction accompanying the increased
use of farm machinery is illustrated,
says The Trade Record, by the fact
that the world wheat crop has adj
vanced from 2,500,000,000 bushels,
speaking in very round terms, in 1891
TO over 4,000,000000 in recent years;
corn from 2,500,000,000 bushels to over
4 100000, 600; potatoes from 4,333, 1885,
1888 bushels in 1900 to nearly 6,000,
100000 in 1913; oats from 2,500000,-
O0G bushels in 1897 to $500, 100000 in
1918; and sugar from 9,713000 long
tons in 1900 to 100000 in 1923. The
growth in world power OF food pro-
duction through the use of machinery
is illustrated by recent statement by
the u. S. department of agriculture
that the amount of human labor re-
quired to produce bushel of wheat is
now only ten minutes as against
three hours in 1880.

A MONUMENT TO
MOTHERS WILL SOON

ATLANTA WOMEN TO ERECT
DORMITORY AT THE BERRY
SCHOOL AS MEMORIAL.
TO BE A MARK OF SACRIFICE
Site Chosen Is Peculiarly Situated for
Symbolic Purpose of Donors. The
Structure Will Be an Anonymous
Gift, and Will Cist 100000.

ATLANTA, Ga.-What is believed
to be the first building erected at a
college in honor of all mothers soon
will be a reality in Georgia.
The building-which it is estimated
will cost $100,000-will become part
of the equipment of the Berry School
for Girls at Rome, Ga. Backers of the
movement to erect it are a group of
prominent Atlanta women, who mean
to make their gift an anonymous one.
The only name so far made public
is that of Mrs. Frank Inman, member
of one of Atlanta's wealthiest and
most influential families, who is act
ing as temporary treasurer.
To Be Called Mothers Building.
The structure, which will be called
Mothers Building, will be erected by
the Georgia Good Will Committee.
AS soon as plans have been completed
officers will be named and some wo-
men residing outside of Atlanta will
be selected to lead the enterprise.
Although announcement was made
only a few days ago and no call has
been issued for funds, a number of
checks for $500 each and one for ST.
900 are in hand
The Berry schools were chosen for
the site as a symbol of sacrifice. Miss
Martha Berry has sacrificed her for
tune and devoted her years to building
up a school for mountain boys and
girls who otherwise would have no
chance for education.
Inspiration was desired, and it was
decided that at no other place was
there a better opportunity to do such
noble work for the mothers of to-
morrow than at the Berry schools
Founder of School Lauded.
Mrs. Inman, in speaking OF the
choice of site, said:
"All Georgians know of the price
Martha Berry paid in the foundation
and management of that great school
for rural and mountain boys and girls.
Her fortune, her wifehood, and, most
important, her motherhood Miss Ber-
ry relinquished for the sake OF her
great vision.
"Miss Berry was wealthy and
fashionable girl. Home from gradua-
ton from a society college, she saw
the need of the unfortunate youth OF
Georgia and gave all the fortune in
herited from her father for building
and perpetual support of the school
she planned to meet their needs. Most
OF the students are motherless because
of the great hardships of mountain
and rural life. Nowhere is the need
greater, nowhere is a place more fit
ting for the rearing of this first mon
ument to motherhood"
The dormitory planned will accom-
modate from 100 to Us girls. Besides
a scroll containing the list of mothers
honored there will be kept a record
of all children offering tribute through
subscribing a share in this structure.
