PEOPLE NOW LEARN
MORE ABOUT BANKS
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION IN
SCHOOLS AND BEFORE CIVIC
ORGANIZATIONS IN STATE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Financiers in At
lanta have highly commended the
work of the Georgia Bankers Associa-
ton for the campaign of education
which it recently inauguated along
the lines of banking and simple eco
Monies. The work, which has already
shown big results, is being done by
means of talks by local bankers be-
fore high schools, college classes,
clubs, parent-teachcr's associations
and other organizations. Robert
Strickland, jr vice president of the
Fourth National Bank OF Atlanta, IS
chairman of the educational commit
tee of the association.
A gradually increasing bank account,
hnanciers show, brings increased con-
hdence in oneself and also is an incen-
tive and encouragement to save more.
Money is often added to an account in
the bank which would otherwise be
unwisely or wastefully spent.
One feature OF banking, it is pointed
out, is overlooked by a great many
people, and that is savings deposits,
while adding interest to the account,
also enable the banker to invest III
we'll protected industries and thus the
entire community is benefited. While
the money is working for the depos
itor it is also doing service to the
community at large and contributing
to the general prosperity
Every young man should have a
bank account" said an Atlanta bank
er, mot only that it provides a stimu-
lus for saving, but because it increas-
es the respect in which he is held in
business circles, and increases both
his credit and financial standing"

IT'S TIME TO QUIT
TRADING DOLLARS
HASTINGS ECLARES PRES
ENT SOUTHERN FARM SYS-
TEN GETS US NOWHERE.

It's time for every southern farmer
who clings to the all, or nearly all
cotton idea to do a lot OF straight
thinking before he pitches his 1925
crop. Most of our cotton farmers are
trading dollars and losing at that
three years out of four" said H. G..
Hastings, leading agricultural authori-
ty and chairman OF the Farm and
Marketing Bureau OF the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce.
For the past two years Providence
has stepped i'll and saved us from the
results OF our own folly. In 1923 we
planted thirty-nine million acres OF
cotton; in 1924 forty million acres. In
each of these years there was acreage
enough to have made, with even fair
season conditions, sixteen to eighteen
million bales and ten-Cent price or
less with the inevitable farm smash
that such price would bring. Provi-
dence cannot be depended on indefi-
nitely to bring unfavorable seasons
and cut down yield per acre. We
stepped up couple OF million bales
in 1924, and, by so doing, the south
has lost about three hundred million
dollars that have come right out Of
the farm pocket
an spite OF these danger signals
flying in every cotton state plans are
being made everywhere to increase
cotton acreage in 1925. This can only
be done at the expense of cutting
down food and grain acres at time
when food and grain are high and GO
ing higher every week
Il am no alarmist, but the present
tendency, the intent to plant the whole
face of the earth in cotton this spring
that is so evident, gives me grave con
Germ. If the boil weevil or drought
don't cut the 1925 crop, starvation low
prices will get the cotton grower The
situation looks just as hazardous to
me as in 1920, unless the craze for
increased cotton acreage can be head
ed off somehow
Growing cotton and buying bread,
meat and grain is simply trading dol
lars, or worse. 1t never is profitable.
Most years it's a losing game. There
is only one way to safeguard 1925.
Plan for and plant enough food, grain
and forage acres to insure your family
and live stock full food supply with
out buying from store or feed dealer.
In this don't forget that a good big
home garden is wonderful food
source. With food and live stock am
ply provided for a good living is in
sured, regardless of cotton prices"

WASHINGTON, D. C.-President
Coolidge doesn't think much OF the

KILLS BUZZARDS
WHILE FLYING IN THE AIR
Sudden Flash From Sky Hit a Pair

A freak that never before had its

by a well-known lady at Randall

While standing in her door looking
out at the clouds she observed two
buzzards sailing along in the air when
suddenly flash OF lightning broke
across the skies and killed both OF
the birds instantly.

such a scene was witnessed was an

FOREIGN NATIONS ARE
SLOW IN PAYING u. S.
ARE NOT WORRIED OVER WAR
DEBTS. OWE TWELVE
BILLION DOLLARS.

Uncle Sam has a hard time trying
TO collect the $l2,000000. in war
debts owed him by foreign nations.
Nineteen foreign governments are
debtors to the government OF the
United States, but only three are act
ually paying their bills Two others,
however. have made debt refunding
agreements which are awaiting the
approval of congress. The other II
nations are delaying any negotiations
looking toward settlement OF their
debts. These nations owe a total OF
more than $7,000000000.
Would Evade Payment.
Even among the nations which have
begun paying their debts there is a
feeling that the government of the
United States should cancel all war
debts. according to American officials
This would mean that while the Unit
ed States would forgive debts totaling
Sl2.000,000, Great Britain n d
France combined would cancel debts
totaling only $4,000, 000,0 600.
Great Britain is one OF the three ma
tions paying their debts to the United
States. Finland and Hungary are the
other two nations in this group. Lithu-
MA and Poland have made debt fund
ing agreements, which will 60 into
effect Immediately upon ratification by
congress. The other II nations have
entered into informal discussions OF
their debts, but nothing definite has
resulted.
France Presents Problem.
The present problem is the French
debt, over which some controversy
has developed. In some quarters it is
believed than a ban on French credit
in the United States and a boycotting
OF French business by American f.
nanciers will be the only methods OF
compelling France to honor its debts.
France, it is said, is one OF the strong
est advocates OF cancellation OF all
debts. She is owed only slightly more
than $2,000,000,000 by other nations.
Her debt to the United States totals
about S4,000,000,000
In the United States the debt fund
ing commission is in charge OF all ar
rangcments to receive payment OF for
eign war debts. The commission has
been handling all claims without dit
ferentiation, all types OF debts being
given the same treatment.
All Payments Slow.
Even the nations which are paying
tfer debts to the United States have
been able to obtain agreements COW
ering long periods, so it will be many
years before the obligations are paid in
full Cuba, incidentally, is the only ma
ton which has paid in full all debts
owed the government OF the United
States.
Finance experts and officials OF the
government are giving the matter OF
foreign debts serious consideration.
The government has no idea OF can
ceiling war debts, it has been explain
ed, and some means must be found
to obtain payment. The chief prob
lem concerns the larger nations, for
when they begin paying it is believed
that the smaller debtors also will fall
in line.

CHORUS IN TRAINING
FOR LIGHT OPERA

Atlanta. Ga, May 27.-Five Georgia
towns outside Atlanta are represented
in the chorus of seventy voices which
is now being trained for the season
of light opera to begin at the AUDITOR
um on June Is and continue six weeks.
One pair of sisters has moved to At
lanta from 200 miles away just to OBJ
tain the advantage of voice training
under a Metropolitan opera conductor
getting for nothing what would ordin-
arily cost several hundred dollars.
By June l the stage OF the old Ly-
rio Theater in Atlanta will be convert
ed into an opera training school, with
all the stars, comedians, chorus and
ballet hard at work every day and
night in preparation for "The Mikado''
which opens the season. A dozen see
mic artists are completing the scenery
for the first week and will immediate
" start on the mountain crags and
castles for '"The Gypsy Baron" the
seconl weeks Fight opera.
That the business men behind the
movement are determined to provide
amusement for the masses and not
merely the classes is shown by the
seat price schedule. Nearly 1000 seats
are offered at so cents each, while the
highest prices charged are two dollars
and there is no amusement tax. 1t is
estimated that the light operas will
cost $4,000 week to produce.
