STUDIES IN TYPHOID
WILL ASSIST STATES
Cumming Says Research Is De.
signed to Give Information
to Authorities.

Studies which have been conducted
from the first of the recent outbreaks
of typhoid fever in various sections OF
the country by investigators assigned to
the task by the Public Health Service
are expected to throw light on the situ-
alton so that State and local authorities
will be better prepared to meet such
condition, Surg. Gen Cumming an
nounced last night.
Reports of an investigation in the
Imperial Valley of California, made by
an experienced officer. indicate. he said,
that typhoid fever is not prevailing in
that section, and that the methods OF
culture and handling OF lettuce and
celery, of which there are large guam
titles shipped from that area at this
season of the year. may be considered
a negligible factor in the spread Of dis
ease
A safe water supply, the pasteuriza-
ton of market milk and the use Of anti
typhoid inoculations were stressed by
DR.. Cumming as means Of checking
typhoid The danger also can be elm
mated, he added, with the cooking of
foods Of all kinds in families where the
infection existed, provided the cook
ing and subsequent handling Of the food
is not done by a typhoid carrier.

ALe1drtder's Loot
In Asia Campaign
Sought BY Reds

BY Cable TO The Star and New York World
BERLIN, January 17.-Fabulous
treasure buried by Alexander the
Great somewhere in the Caucasus
may become the property of the
Soviet government. Prof. Sama-
lief. distinguished Russian arch
aeologist, has persuaded the Mos
cow authorities TO finance a search
for the hidden treasure, believed
to consist of gold, silver and pre-
cious stones. The professor states
he is convinced the treasure is
buried somewhere near Baku.
Just before the war the Car
commissioned Samalieff to unearth
this treasure, which represents
the loot of Alexander's Asiatic
campaign The war stopped the
professors earlier exploration. If
he gets it this time the greater
part will go to the state and he
will receive a small commission.

The Extra Session.

Governor Walker can lead the legislative
horse to water, but can he make him drink
asks the Moultrie Observer. That remains to
be seen. The News was not among those
who were camoring for an extra session OF
the legislature We believed the people
meant what they said when they recently
voted so overwhelmingly for biennial SEES
sions; and, furthermore we doubted the ne
cessity of converting the lawmakers at this
time But Governor Walker, believing that
it is to the best interest of the state to con-
vene the legislative body, has decreed other
wise, and it now is the duty of all-govern-
or lawmaker and citizen alike-to unite up
on program that will advance the best in
terests OF the state. With open minds and
an eye single to the public welfare it is pos
sible to make the extra session memorable
for its achievements.

Jimmy" Walker, Crusader.
Happy New Yearl

Jimmy" Walker, the mayor-elect, is go
ing to desert the sidewalks OF New York
and he is not going to love the night life OF
that great city as we'll in January as he did
in May For May in the life of Jimmy
Walker represents the youth he enjoyed be-
fore he was elected and January the stern
realities of an executives duty as crusader
against vice, sin and ihiquity The curfew
is going to ring with Jimmy" pulling the
rope. New York has got TO be good, or the
new mayor is going to raise the dickens.
The all night resorts are to close, says
Jimmy" He is going right after crime,
banditry, wicked dancers and all sorts OF
night lifers. He is determined to purge his
city of all that makes it 1urid and unwhole-
some Hurrah for Jimmy" if he can get
anywhere at all in curbing the evil influences
of the metropolis, but it looks at this distance
as though the new St. George faced stable
dragon and would need all his strength.
Mayor-elect Walker is brand new broom
1--WE have heard of and had such here in
Georgia., and the old saying about it sweep
ing clean is as true now as it was IN the be-
ginning Jimmy" might do a part of what
he is threatenng-for tme-but in the end
New York would go on just as before The
big city is bigger than Jimmy Walker, and
bigger than anybody else In time the
mayor elect will realize that, and in time he
will figure that New York isn't so bad and
that a little night life after all is to be desir-
ed Nobody is going to lock up New York's
freedom not even Jimmy" Walker. It can't

A Flood of Propaganda.

Whenever congress convenes there comes
to the editorial desk mass of propaganda
for this measure and that At the approach
OF the present session there was no exception
to the rule. Why is it? 1t would seem that
measures possessing merit could receive prop
er consideration and disposition by men
elected to perform their duties relating to
law making without propaganda.
To illustrate, there has been received for
some weeks "a feature article" from the Ma,
tional Educational Association press service,
the passage of the new federal educational
bill. AS is we'll known, this bill provides for
a cabinet position and department of edu-
cation with supervising capacity over the pub
lie schools of the entire country If the prop
ositon has any merit is it necessary contin-
ualy to be urging the publication of articles
concerning it? II a department of education
will promote the public schools of this coun-
try, make them more efficient, why should
it be necessary to argue the matter in pub
lie prints week in and week out? The same
is true of other measures.
1t is uncomfortable that any repre- sentative
from the south will vote for this bill and put
its educational institutions under the super
vision of the federal government, which rec
ognizes no race distinction and would largely
influence the selection of text books taught
in the schools of the south With both races
attending the same school and taught from
books presenting the northern viewpoint our
educational interests would be an awful mess

The National Anthem.
From the Scranton Republican.

Two bills have been introduced in congress-
one by Representative Fairchild, Of New
FORK. and one by Representative Linthlcum,
of Maryland, to make "The Star Spangled
Banner the national anthem. One of the
bills also would provide heavy penalties Tor
bringing Unto disrepute or disfavor by word
or act either the national anthem or the ma
tional flag"
There is mistaken popular opinion, rath-
er hazy, it is true, that The Star Spanged
Banner" and America" have legal status
as our patriotic song and national hymn, re-
spective1y. While efforts have been made
many times to fix one or both of these music
al compositions as national institutions by
statute it has not yet been done.
AS the American anthem "The Star Span
g1ed Banner" lives in our hearts as the beau
tiful, sonorous song that thrills our every
fiber; as true hymn, uniting in our souls
patriotism and goodness, "America" cannot
be displaced So it is, with without act
of congress to crystalline our patriotic ardor,
that true Americans vertically inhale a purer
breath of life to the music of the national
anthem and the national hymn.
1t would be advisable, nevertheless, for
congress to stamp these songs with the ap-
proval of law

New Year.

Why should not hope of happy new year
be cherished in every heart and what excuse
is there for not anticipating a happy new
year? The new year above all else is a
time of hope, the time for looking forward,
for renewal of faith. In our arbitrary division
OF time we stand where the ways part. We
look both backward and forward. If we can
not look forward with hope and confidence
what profit is there in life?
The new year is time for turning our
backs on the past for making new start, for
thinking less of the past and more of the
future. What is past cannot be removed.
What we need to be concerned about now
is the days that are to come in the year about
to open.
How blessed it is that we are able to face
the future that confronts us with steadtast
hope and courage. With what eagerness do
we now scan the narrow horizon that con-
fines us, straning vision in an effort to pene-
trate the veil that guards SO strictly the tu-
ture We are as men standing some high
mountain peak, peering with shaded eyes into
the vast distance and seeking to discern its
unknown mysteries. 1t is most fortunate,
however that vision is shortened as it is, and
that we can but search little way ahead
What does the year which will begin Friday
contain for us? If we could know, if the fu-
ture could be revealed, it is doubtful whether
any of us could summon the fortitude to go
on.
A Happy New Year? Assuredly. What is
happiness but a state OF mind. Let the old
salutation then, ring out with vibrant good
cheer and sincerity, surcharged with hope and
gladness. To begin the new year in such
spirit is to have the battle won before it has
begun
Happy New Yeari

More Bunk" Exposed.
From the West Point News.


Have you heard anyone say that Georgia
was falling behind the procession because
her roads were worse than those OF other
states?
Did the person telling you give any figures
as to comparative mileage OF improved roads
in tine various states?
Just few facts from the report of the
Federal Bureau of Public Roads might be
useful at this time.
That report says that Indiana has 36112
miles Of surfaced roads, Ohio has 27,84l
miles, Georgia has 1871 1856 miles, North Car
Dina 8,149 miles, Minnesota 16,839 miles,
New York 1920 with other states falling
on down to South Carolina with 492 miles of
improved roads.
This report shows that the popular cry that
bad roads are running Georgia is mostly
bunk Also the cry that good roads have
made North Carolina" belongs in the same
category
A drive over the roads of this and other
states about us will satisfy any one Georgia
has better roads than many neighbor states
and the above quoted report proves that Geor-
gia, still the empire state" stands third in
improved road mileage in the union.
A little information to the condition of
public roads all over the country would re-
lieve us of the howl of the knockers. Geor-
gia stands near the front in road work and
will certainly remain there.
There is nothing the matter with Georgia
except slight case of political blues"
probably caused by office seekers, habitual
kickers and those who have not taken time to
learn the facts about road work in the va
rIous states.

The Home Made Articles.
From the Savannah News.

The Valdosta Times the other day on a
local page of interesting items has the story
of a local concern which ordered from a
Chicago firm lot Of fine, silk-fnished bed
spreads to discover upon the arrival of the
shipment that instead of being branded with
the hall mark of a Belgian or Swiss, Nor
wegian or Japanese mandatory the beau
tiful articles bore the label Of a Georgia fac
tory-not only a Georgia factory, but a
south Georgia factory!
The lesson of the incident is obvious-and
worth chewing over
The story has another end, however
Alongside this bit of news about buying
homemade stuff from Chicago is another
item about inquiries coming in daily to Val
dosta from Mexico, Australia and other for
eign countries asking for Valdosta made ar
ticles. Just this week shipment of the Val
dosta-invented, Valdosta-made articles was
shipped to Egypt.
And this incidental bit of news items, es-
pecially alongside the other, carries its food
for thought!

The Old-Time Religion.
From the Dahlonega Nugget.

We do not suppose the Baptist minister
from down the country who occupied the
stand here last Sunday will locate in Dab
lonega, as he receives about $1,000 where he
is and nice dwelling to live in free of
charge. The church here only has to pay its
part, but is not likely to raise the bid, be-
cause our citizens cannot afford to pay all
their money for religion, then pay city, coun-
ty and state taxes, and feed clothe and edu-
cate their children.
Neither Of the old churches has as large
a membership now as they did when religion
was cheaper, Used to be that when preach
ing took place the amen" benches were oc-
cupied by both males and females who
wore home made clothes from top to bottom,
including hand-knit socks and stockings,
girls and women wearing bonnets. All dress
ed about alike, same as the minister. We
don't mean he had on bonnet, but wore,
jeans suit manufactured by the mothers and
daughters and if too warm to be comfort
able with his coat on he shed it and preach
ed sermon destitute of any highfalutin
words, and all understood and enjoyed it.
But style and high religion and too much
extras for foreigners, as we see it, explains
why quite number of our citizens hold their
membership in the country churches, where
style cuts no figure, and less money is re-

work and the public Improvements under
way and by the atmosphere of confidence
South Georgia made the best crop in 1925
that it has in several years. 1t is in close
proximity to the wonderful development now
in progress in Florida The two states are
separated only by an imaginary line, and it
is not surprising that there should be rather
generous overflow from Florida. Then too,
south Georgia offers good land at prices that
are actually cheap and relatively very cheap.
Inherently, too, south Georgia is a fine
country, with truly exceptional agricultural
opportunities. It's characteristic spirit for the
past quarter century has been one Of great
enterprise Its people wide awake and
are thoroughly in love with their great sec
ton. A combination like this spells nothing
short of success

Profit in Poultry.

In his column in the Macon News, Down
in Georgia" J. Kelley Simmons prints an
interesting news item and makes pertinent
comment 1t follows: Those of our south
Georgia farmers casting about for means
Of making money on the farm might be in
terested in the announcement coming from
Chicago to the effect that a financier paid
s., 500 for a pen Of five prize winning chick
ems at a poultry show there The pen con
tanned a cock and four hens. South Georgia
climate, soil and other conditions offer the
best opportunity for poultry raising OF any
section in the country. Hundreds OF farmers
OF that section are realizing fine profits now
from flocks"
There is profit in poultry raising on the
farms Of south Georgia. The past year Ter
rell county sold several thousand dollars
worth OF poultry without any special effort
at raising it.

Consider the Peanut.
From the Savannah News.

1t is frequently we get more news ava.
from home about home folks than we hea
at home. 1t is the same way with commod
ties For example it is from London Tidbit
that south Georgians are now reading some
thing of the peanut:
The peanut sold in this country, main
ly to boys in the street and to persons
wishing to feed the animals in the zoo,
is rapidly becoming an article of the
greatest commercial value. Already it is
being used in the production of AS foods
and useful articles.
From the peanut we Obtain peanut
butter ten varieties of milk, five kinds
of breakfast food two grades of flour,
ice cream, salad OIL sauce, metal polish
es toilet and laundry soaps, oleomarga-
rine, wood stains, leather dyes, ink and
glycerin.
A teacupful of peanuts can be made
into pint Of milk while the nuts make
better lard substitute than does cot
ton-seed oil. Mixed with wheaton flour
peanuts make a palatable and highly nu-
tritious bread; they also make excellent
biscuits and cakes.
Strictly speaking, the peanut is not
nut at all; it is what is called a "legume"
akin to the bean and pea.
Recognition from abroad does dignif,

Mr.. Henderson was among the foremost men

developers of the wiregrass country, and con-
tributed largely in converting that section
from a pine wilderness into live and prosper

be done.

Townsville has a produce market, and in
speaking of its worth to the people of that
county the Times Enterprise says:
Anything that the farmer produces or
raises can be sold there. Thomas
vile has needed this sort of market for
many years, but has never before been
able to get one going in way that
would bring about the most desired re-
suits Unless we have failed to diagnose
the situation the market has been estab
lshed and it is going to become in due
time one of the most useful in this entire
section of the state
This market will enable the farmers Of
Thomas county to dispose of their crops For
the past several years dversifcation has been
urged upon the farmers in and out of season,
but no market has been provided for their pro-
duce Besides producing sufficient for their
own needs it would be very foolish for the
farmers to raise an abundance of crops when
two or three hogs, load or two OF potatoes
or corn, few pounds of turnips and a truck
load of greens would glut the market When
they can sell their produce at reasonable
prices there is no doubt the farmers will
grow an abundance of all kinds. They will be
glad to do 50.
Thomasville has taken wise step in pro-
viding market for farm produce, and it will
be of great value to that city and surround
ing section.

EACH NEEDS THE OTHER.

From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun
The Dawson News gives expression to a
striking truth in the following paragraph:
The best friends of the common peo-
pie are not those who propose to soak"
the rich with conhscatory taxes Their
real friends are those who would give
capital square deal and opportunity to
furnish employment for labor by engag-
ing in productive industry.
Efforts to array capital and labor against
each other is great mistake. The two should
be encouraged TO cultivate friendly feeling
one toward the other, which would be help
full to both Certainly each is dependent up
the other. Capital can accomplish nothing
without labor, and labor can accomplish little
without capital.
