Autos Now Making
More Home Owners

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 16.--Does auto
mobile owning discourage and pre-
vent home owning?
Some say yes, and think the grow
ing desire to own a motor is detri-
mental to the sounder and saner i'm
pulse to own the roof over ones head.
Government statistics, made pub
lie here today, indicate that the trend
of a few years ago from the one
family house to the apartment is be-
ginning to be reversed. From 1920
to 1924 more and more families
sought the apartment rather than the
one-family home. But this year sees
reversion of the tide.
Statistics show a remarkable eXten
sion to the suburbs. One of the prin-
cipal reasons for the increasing sub
urban development, it was shown, is
the automobile, and it is known that
most of the houses in these develop
mcnts are built for sale and not for
rental. The conclusion therefore is
that home ownership is showing a
tendency to increase.

BL0ODW0TI, JONES
LOSE LAST APPEAL
Moose Doom Sealed BY Decree of
Court

Once more the hangman's moose
bangles before the eyes of Gervis
Bloodworth and Willie Jones, the
famous Taylor County slayers, who
in their youthful lives have heard a
judge repeat nine times the sentence
"you shall hang by the neck until
dead"
Their appeal for a new trial was
summarily overruled by the Supreme
Court of Georgia Tuesday, the JUS
tees holding that the basis of their
appeal was trivial.
"The evidence" said the court, "is
overwhelmingly against them, nor
have they denied guilt, a plea for
mercy being their only contention"
The principal plea for new trial
was based on the ground that Floyd
Brown, member of the jury, was
"prejudiced against the boys"
In disposing of this plea the court
said that while preiudiced juror is
an excellent ground for new trial,
there was insufficient evidence to
show that the juror in question was
prejudiced and that the attorneys
for the boys had ample opportunity
before the trial to investigate this
juror and bar him from sitting on
the case.

on terms he can meet. At this stage
of farmer emancipation the banker
becomes useless factor, except that
he can lead the farmer to where he
can borrow money from Outside
mortgage sources" The rest of the
usurious story need not be recited.
Bonuses, commissions, vast sums paid
in bulk for accommodations that are
written within the law are familiar in
the life of every man who has been
forced to seek the money shark, u.s.
ually operating under the cloak of
great responsibility.
The terms are such that the farmer
cannot possibly meet them; and the
shoe pinches most when settling day
comes, for the mortgage renewal
means more bonuses, usually tilt
in interest charges, and other condi-
tions that compel the farmer to seek
aid from his friends and neighbors.
This Situation Expected to Bring
Gladness-!!
AS for the farmer-figure the
years that must elapse before he can
hope by his industry to own a little
farm. He reaches the age of decrep-
titude before he can meet a quarter
of his payments. That he can hope
to meet all of them is out of all rea-
son.
It is in relieving this impossible sit
uation that the Joint Land Banks
provide a ray of hope. To the State
Land Banks the farmer pays only six
per cent for his loan, plus one per
cent per year for the reduction of
his principal, so that in thirty-three
years the mortgage is paid off, and
the farmer can then begin to &C.
cumulate enough money on which to
retire.
This is the outlook that is ex-
pected to bring gladness into the
hearts of those upon whom the world
must depend for food. Thirty to
fifty years of toll in the soil to earn
enough on which to live and estab-
lish the ownership of farm.

Waterless Bath Tub Is
Feature of New
Mining Camp

Tonopah, New, November-Out
across the sagebush desert, 80 miles
west of Tonopah, nesting in the red
capped Cristo hills, lies Gilbert, Ne
vada's newest gold camp. While its
gold discoveries have attracted wide
attention, the fame of Gilbert does
not rest entirely upon these. Roy
Abel's barber shop, located on the
towns main street, has received al
most as much publicity as the camps
growth and the gold discoveries in
the surrounding hills.
In connection with his three-chair
shop, Abel has a room fitted up with
all modern bathroom fixtures, moth
ing is missing except one important
item-water. Water in Gilbert is B
cents a gallon. That is the reason
for the sign on Abel's bathroom door,
which reads:
"Baths 81. Patrons are requested
to bring their own water" Asked If
his waterless bathtub was well pa
tronized, Abel replied, "Well, l get
a pretty good run on Saturday"

BUT HE WONT SAY WHEN

Dear Miss Flo:
1 wonder if you will help me? ]
am a girl twenty-six years old. /
have been going with man several
years older than myself for two
years. He gave me an engagement
ring for Christmas. However, he
seems in no especial hurry to get
married. He rarely speaks of it and
has never mentioned any definite
plans, although he often speaks of
the little home we will have some
day. That some day seems to be far
in the distance, and as / am no
longer young girl, am wondering
if 1 am foolish to be giving so much
of my time to this one man. l love
him very much, and perhaps l show it
too plainly. Do you think mans
love increases or decreases when he
finds that a girl loves him? I know
that he is the head of his family, sup
porting his widowed neither and his
two sisters. Of course, I admire him
for his loyalty, but it really isn't nee
essary for him to support his sisters.
They both have a fairly good educa--
ton, and both old enough and healthy
enough to support themselves. What
shall I do?

MADGE.

I don't believe that anything is
quite so wearing on man and
woman as long engagement. It is
wearing because it isn't natural, and
it gets upon the nerves of both. 1t
is the best little love-killer l know.
You haven't the privileges of hus-
band and wife, nor the liberty of the
single man and woman.
Any man who knows that he is not
in position to marry for years to come
should not take up girls time. If
he is honorable, he will explain the
situation to the girl, and if she is
wise, she will not let herself be drawn
into keeping company with a man she
knows is not in position to marry her
at least not for years to come. A
girls time for making good mar
rage is while her youth and beauty
shine, and she should make the best
of it. That period is short and she
takes a chance if she gives it to a
man who may grow tired of her be-
fore he is in position to marry.
Whether or no a mans love in
cxeases or decreases with the knowl.
edge that a girl loves him, depends
entirely on the man. A vain man is
flattered by the knowledge that a
girl loves him. He has such lot of
respect and admiration for her SUI
perior taste and her excellent judg-
ment that he marries her. Other
girls have saved the day with tears
when the man of her choice tried to
break away from her. He sympa-
thized with her SO deeply for losing
such a fine man that it was more
than he could stand, so he married
her.
Most men, however, prefer to do
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1925-11-26

the counting. I have great deal
of faith in the indifference treat
ment. AS soon as the average man
finds that he is being pursued, rather
than pursuing, he loses interest. 1t
requires a great deal of tact to han
die the sex that has never lost the
hunter instinct. If she is wise the
girl will not ask when he is going to
see her again, if she wants to keep his
interest.
Of course, the role of indiffer-
ence should not be carried too far.
II must not be obvious or played
blatantly, because there is a lot of
competition about these days.
As your young man doesn't seem
in any particular hurry about nam
ing wedding date; / should think
the best thing for you to do is to try
the Indifference role, and along with
it, try going out with other boys. IT
it is a question as to whether or not
he could support wife, and he were
really anxious to get married, he
would insist that his sisters find po-
sitions and support themselves If he
really cares for you, and wants to
marry you, he will very quickly de-
eide what he is going to do when he
thinks he is going to lose you. You
have already given him two years of
your life, and if he doesn't intend to
get married, now is the time to break.

any other method than by con.

In letting the contract for

the highway department will in

he work eight hours a day, and
that he be paid a wage the same
