$500 for a Scenario

How many thrilling scenes in plays, fiction
and real life have revolved around the terribly
ing cry of fire -
When fire starts it is like war-one never
knows when it will be stopped nor what the
toll will be in life and property.
The National Board of Fire Underwriters in
order to show the public the basic Importance
of fire insurance, that trade would stagnate
without it's safeguard and its vital place in our
industrial and social scheme, is offering a
prize of $500 for the best synopsis for two
reel motion picture bringing out the business
romance interviewer with the history and fun
damentas of fire underwriting.
The Board does not want a script designed
to sell insurance policies, but one that will in
terpret the business in terms of hu amninterest
understandable to everybody. The plot might
involve incendiares, insurance taxation which
crinples a company. rating difficulties or Other
problems of business which appeal to contes
tant. The Board retains the privilege of pur
chasing for $500 one other of the scenarios
submitted.
Scripts should be sent to National Board Of
Fire Underwriters 76 William Street, New
York, N. Y, on or before March 1, 1926

To Revive Agriculture

We don't know whether the plan was form
ulated by j. Phil Campbell or DIR. Soule, but
the proposed statewide campaign to discuss
the agricultural problems of the state with the
dirt farmers, is one of the best thought out
campaigns we have been called upon for pub
licity since the war period, when the food
problem was the issue. 1t is hoped that each
of the 160 meetings to be held from February
18th to 10th, in the 100 county seats of the
state, will be attended by the farmers, the
farmers wife and children-so that whatever
message those men from the agricultural ex-
tension department may have for them may
thoroughly impress the entire family. Here
in South Georgia, where the greatest market
for food stuff, milk, poultry and dairy prod
ucts is unfolding itself in Florida, the message
these men should bring, should be centered
upon greater development of the Cow, Hog
and Hen program, for in it's development lies
certain affluence for the small and large
farmer of this section.

We trust the special session of the Legisla-
ture called by Gov. Walker will produce the
desired legislation, though we have little faith
in the result of the session. A large road bond
issue will not meet with the necessary support
of the voters, and unless decided change is
made in the educational system of the state,
additional money for buildings will not i'm
prove the common schools Of Georgia. One of
the most needed reforms along that line, as
frequently pointed out by the best minds in
the state, is change of electing the county
school boards by the people instead as at pres
ent by the grand juries and allowing the
Boards to elect the county superintendent
from anywhere in or out of Georgia, with a
certain prescribed educational standard.
Another change vitality necessary to make for
advance in general education, would be the
facilitating of consolidating rural and city
systems, so that equal opportunities for educa-
ton be had for children living in the rural sec
TONS Governor Walker is said to intend only
three subjects to be legisated upon, which in
clude the two above mentioned and the pay
ment of the confederate veterans, which will
not meet with opposition. The press of Geor-
gia does not favor the special session. but all
will give it their loyal support, since the Gov
ernor has seen fit to call it.

A Veritable Gold Mine

What an opportunity for our farmers? A
veritable gold mine for the progressive farmer
who will prepare and take advantage of the
unlimited demand in Florida for raw milk
tens of thousands of gallons of milk are daily
being shipped from Wisconsin, and other
dairy states into the Sunshine State and at
prices which are acknowledgements flowing
like a gold stream to those sections, distant
states, where the milk cow has been the
mnoey-maker on the farms for, many years.
Conditions for dairy farming are superior in
South Georgia to any of the western states
and yet we are tagging behind all of them in
the production Of dairy products. AS an illus
tration of what we are loosing we, quote from
the Valdosta Times of recent date:
Southern Railway passenger train No. 27
Thursday evening grought into Valdosta three
large express cars filled with milk en- route to
Florida for distribution. This being foodstuff
it has the right of way under the embargo.
None of this milk shipment was from Georgia,
but far away Wisconsin, and the express
charges on this movement will amount to
pretty sum by the time it is unloaded in Flor
ida. Georgia farmers, especially those in this
section, could be cashing in heavily on this
milk business were they prepared with cows
to supply the demand, and thus sell it at
price which would give them the difference in
the transportation charges.

Insist on Scientific Paving

Now that Fitzgerald is preparing to pave
some more of the streets, it will be well to
begin agitating a complete supervision by COM
petent engineer of the work as it proceeds.
The cheapest contractor is not always the best
and though the specifications may call for a
certain quality of proved work, an irresponsl-
BILE contractor can put one over on the aver
age city alderman, who has never had any
experience with cement or other paving ma
terial The greatest evil in hard-surface street
and highway building grows out Of irrespon-
sible bidders cutting prices by means of un-
scientific construction, for which there is no
excuse in this day and age.
Careless, or dishonest, fly -by-night contrac-
tors lay cement pavements of improper mix
ture that crack and crumble and must be re-
built
In spite of scientific formulas for building
perfect black top pavements, similar irrespon-
sble contractors put down all kinds of imta-
tons that in a few years and under mcreas-
ingly heavy traffic goes to pieces and must be
relaid, whereas properly laid asphaltic types
Of pavement have service records of ten
twenty and thirty years with little or no main
tenance expense.
Now that we have decided to pave, let us
get the best at the lowest price possible but
see to it that we get fully what we contrac
for A dollars worth of paving for dollar.

Pierre Van Paassen, Gtaff member

a volunteer champion for Dixie. he
says it is time America heard new
version of the South, since in his
opinion it will soon lead the entire
country in renaissance, of culture.
Van Paassen considers himself, an. ina
partial observer, by reason of his for
eign birth and his wide travels, his
contact with the South being recent
but thorough while holding his resi-
dent connection with the Atlanta
paper. More than half dozen
prominent northern cities have asked
for his lecture on this subject and SO
keen is the interest around that at
one place where he had adopted the

Silly Sixteen

And still the wonder grows how
, bows and girls of inquiring MIND
which is the trait of youth can spend
five or more hours a day with DOCKS
and teachers under our splendid sys-
tenn of public schools and know posi-
lively so little as they seem to DO.
The Review of Reviews conducted a
current history test with 1850 high
school and college students from all
sections of the country. The ques-
tions were so easy that they sounded
silly. vet the general average in the
test was only 43 per cent end one
high school made the record OF only
IA per cent correct. -
fault is plainly seen to X .~4.s~y IN
the home, in the table talk, IN the
lack of newspaper reading. Children
used to listen to their elders in con-
versation, and learned much of cur
rent affairs in that way. Now it
seems the children monopolize the
table talk and since parking at night
is about the only other time they
have in their homes they are shut off
from the accustomed source of educa-
ton and culture as it was in the pre-
ceding generations. Imagine II per
cent not recognizing the presidents
photograph, and the answers about
Muscle Shoals, Teapot Dome, Ma
Ferguson were so ridiculous it would
be funny were it not tagic to think
of eyes that see not, ears that hear
not, youths possessing all their senses
and making such poor use OF ,lieA
brains. o, my country, these will be
the ballot jugglers or slackers in
another five years.

ish questions by the traffic police OF

for instance, the evaporation given

how many people will make their pre-

quite as often as not are more appro-

from busy traffic cop upon whose
alertness and attention lives of pee
pie are depending. The days eNpe-

Everyone appreciates the fact that

operas. What intervenes is only toll
Grated by the majority of the audi
ence. Of course, highbrow musicians
appreciate every part but among the
thousands who hear opera there are
a very few of these. All the rest are
waiting for certain arias OF choruses
or marches that are, especially tune
full or exhilarating. Geraldine Far
rar was one artist to make early con-
cession Of an abbreviated opera, Civ
ing Carmen in condensed form that
has proved immensely popular. This
season "Aida," the best loved Italian
opera, has been cut to a half hour
performance at the Hippodror'e m

cut for vaudeville use retaining the
best known and beautiful parts,
though to the real musician who be-

however, moderate condensation OF
