FARMERS TO MEET
AT STATE COLLEGE
TO STUDY IMPORTANT PROB
LENS FOR 1925. A LARGE AT
TENDANCE EXPECTED.

The week OF January 10th to 3lst
has been set aside as the annual Farm
ers' Week at the State College OF Ag-
riculture, according to announcement
made recently by authorities OF the
institution. A comprehensive program
is being arranged, and an effort will
bemade to cover the important prob
lens to be faced by Georgia farmers
in 1925.
With a number OF nationally known
agricultural authorities scheduled to
address the meeting it is expected
that there will be an even greater at
tendance at the conference than was
true in 1928 when more than one
thousand were present. All county and
home demonstration agents will be in
attendance, and the annual extension
conference will be held in conjunction
with the farm meeting.
The feature of the meeting will be
the study OF all phases of agriculture
and home economies, the presentation
in class and lecture of the latest and
best information on these subjects by
men and women who have made them
their life study.

Lawyers of Loeb and
Leopold Get $4,000
The Amount Agreed Upon Does Not
Represent All of Expenses.

CHICAGO.-The lawyers who saw
ed Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold,
jr., from the gallows after they plead
guilty to kidnapping and killing Rob
crt Franks will receive $150,0O0, it
was known today.
Clarence barrow, veteran criminal
lawyer, and Benjamin and Wallace
Bachrach, brothers, will share the fee,
though the proportion Of division has
not been made public,
The lawyers, it was stated, asked
for 100000 at the conclusion of the
trial and though the Leopold family
made no objection the Loeb family
thought the amount excessive. After
some discussion the $l50,0OO was
agreed upon.
Other expenses to the families OF
the two youths, serving life sentences
in the Illinois state prison, were con-
siderably more than the amount OF
attorneys fees -Four alienists who tes-
tilted at the trial received $3.50 day
for their services, and ten or more
other medical men received upwards
of $4,000 for their parts in the case.
1t became known today that Judge
John r. Caverly, who sentenced Leo
pold and Loeb and Immediately retir-
ed to a hospital to recover from a
breakdown, again is in a hospital

EYE PREPARATION CAUSES
TEMPORARY LOSS OF SIGHT
Randolph County Ordinary Victim of
Serious Mistake at Columbus.

According to the Cuthbert Leader
Judge ]. w. Ivey, the new ordinary
OF Randolph county, had painful eX-
perience in Columbus the past week.
He desired to have glasses fitted to
his eyes and consulted an oculist, who
gave him prescription for a solution
to be applied to his eyes at certain in
tervals. 1t seems that mistake was
made in filling the prescription, for
after one or two applications OF the

and unconscious, and was sent to a
hospital where he remained for day
or more.

NEW CAVE IN COLORADO
CONTAINS OVER 40 ROOMS
Most Recently Discovered Cavern to
Be Made Available for Tourists.

DENVER, Colo.-Colorado's most
recently discovered cave, already
known to contain 40 rooms, will be
explored further with view to estab-
fishing its availability as a national
monument. Coloradoans who have
penetrated the subterranean passages
declare when exploration work has
been completed the cavern will rival
the Cave OF the Winds, near Colorado
Springs, known to thousands OF tour
lists.
The cave is Is miles north OF Salida
and Is miles southeast of Buena Vista,
near the Fremont county line. The
property derived its name, Porcupine
Cave, from the fact that porcupines
live within it.

STREET DEPARTMENT.

The city has on hand eight mules
in good condition, Is bushels of corn,
two tons of hay, the usual amount OF
street machinery and one half car OF
gravel.
The city cultivated a small tract OF
land adjacent to the cemetery in which
oats. corn and hay we're raised as feed
stuff, which greatly reduced the
amount annually expended for mule
food
About 1000 feet Of concrete curbing
has been put down, mostly at street
intersections, which adds greatly to
the drainage of streets. There has al
so been put in a great many concrete
catch basins.
All bridges in the city are in good
condition except one, all having been
repaired and foored with heavy OAK.
Effort has been made to operate the
street department as economically as
possible and at the same time to give
as good results as could reasonably
be expected. The street department
has no direct source of income but
attention is called to the fact that the
street department has dug all Of the
graves and built % vaults, as shown
by report from the cemetery depart
ment. We believe that the work done
during the year 1924 will compare
favorably with the work done in this
department for previous years, and as
will be seen the expenditure has
been much less. Respectfully submit
ted, Thos. H. Harden, SApt. OF Streets /;
W. H. Pace, Chairman.

AID SOUR
LEMON FOR GEORGIA
GETS LESS OF HER MONEY
BACK THAN OTHER STATES
THAT PAY LESS.

WASHINGTON, d. CAS- far as
the state Of Georgia is concerned the
federal aid policy is very large and
very sour lemon.
Statistics which show in striking
way how the state OF Georgia gets
the worst of it as a result OF this
much boosted policy have just been
made available here
Inequality.
The unfairness Of the federal aid
system is shown by the inequality OF
benefits received by the various states
from its operation.
Money paid into the federal treas
ury by the over burdened taxpayers
OF Georgia goes to enrich the treas
uries OF states that pay relatively but
little in federal taxes.
The total amount OF federal taxes
paid by the people of Georgia during
the fiscal year ended June 80 last, was
S19.181, 446 and the amount received
by the states from the general gov
eminent in various forms of federal
aid was $2,137, 6S4. In other words,
there was returned to the state in led
eral aid only lila per cent OF the
amount paid by the state in taxes to
the federal government.
Nevada Profits.
Contrasted with Georgia's meager
drawback are the rich pickings OF a
number OF states that furnish very
little OF the taxes required to run the
general government, One state-Neva-
da-actually received in federal aid
more than it pays in taxes to the gov
eminent. The amount that state paid
in federal taxes during the year end
ed June 80, 1924, was SOL 400. Dur
ing the same year it received from
the government i'll federal aid the sum
OF $885759 In other words, It's draw
back from a generous Uncle Sam is
1861 per cent OF the taxes that the
people OF Nevada pay to Uncle Sans

 He was driven to this action, he said, by flood of applications from men and women in all walks of life asking him to place them in judg- ment on tho plays.
