GERMANS MAY
LOCATE ON
GEORGIA FARMS
Plans Are For Great Colonies to
Settle in Georgia On Small
Farms

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 17-Large
corporations that have purchased
large tracts of land in South Geor-
gia are planning to settle German
farmers on these farms, it was an
nOunced here today by farm devel-
opment agents. On account of the
scarcity of labor it is believed that
great colonies of these Germans can
be induced to come to Georgia and
settle on these farms.
The movement is one which will
prove of value to the agricultural
interests of the state, it was stated
by Eugene R. Black, president of the
Atlanta Trust company, one of At
lanta's largest banks, which owns
number of model farms and has also
placed farm loans on considerable
property in South Georgia. The
bank officials have shown unusual in
terest in the farm development
program of South Georgia for a mum
Der of years.
Farm development agents here
point out that the German farmers
are thrifty, economical in their liv-
ing habits and accumulative from
their resources. A few colonies in
Georgia, it was stated, would enable
land owners to cultivate much of
their idle ladn. These people, agri-
culturists here say, understand farm
ing and can produce as much on the
average acre as is now produced on a
dozen or more. They have been
educated, it was asserted, to the
value of land and every inch is used
for some purpose.
with the coming of several col
onies of these Germans to South
Georgia, the farmers and land own
ers of other parts of the state will
make no mistake in investigating
and making an effort to secure the
location of some of these people,"
said an agricultural expert. "Since
the migration of the colored farm
.laborer, some sections of the state
have suffered and forced thousands
of acres of idle land upon the owners.
With an increased cultivation of
farm lands, conditions will improve
and an early settled state of affairs
will exist.

SECTARIAN SCHOOLS.
Governor Suggests Referendum on
Giving them State Aid.

Giving them State Aid.
Governor Brewster, in his in
augural address, suggested referen-
DUN on the question of extending
State aid to sectarian schools. He
said:
The prohibition of the use of public
funds for UNCONVENTIONAL schools has
been matter widely debated within
our State during the past two years.
a few UNCONVENTIONAL schools are at
present receiving a grant of public
funds These are, with one or two eX-
ceptions, of secondary grade. A great
system of private elementary schools
has grown up in our State and in many
of our sister states, and is rapidly ex-
panding. Approximately 10000 chill
dren are now being educated outside
the public schools in the State of Name
In the city of Portland this last year,
the public school system practically
ceased it's growth while the rival sys-
TEN added several hundred pupils to it's
schools.
During the past ten years there have
been repeated attempts to secure
grants of public funds to aid in the
mentary schools. Representative citi-
zens of our State have believed that
such contributions were warranted be-
cause of the savings that were thus eff
fected to the public school system of
the State. This is an opinion which
they are entitled to hold and to cham
pion.
No diversion of public school funds
to these purposes has been made except
in one section of the State where the
two systems are. for all practical pur-
poses, merged with the UNCONVENTIONAL
system using public school facilities for
the religious training of the child.
Many believe that the diversion of
public funds to religious education is
utterly out of harmony with American
ideals and will inevitably disrupt the
State, if this principle should become
established. Thrty-three states, faced
by conditions very similar to our own,
have adopted constitutional amend
ments designed to prohibit such a
have afforded rather ample evidence
that they would welcome the submits
sion to them of constitutional amend
ment prohibiting any such diversion
of public funds. Such a referendum
will satisfy a great body of our citi-
zens who are seriously concerned over
this question. and remove a threatening
problem from the educational situation
in this State.

UNION TRUST co.
Annual Meeting of Stockholders Held

Annual Meeting of Stockholders Held

and the stock was particularly we'll
represented, more than fifty per cent.
being voted.
The treasurer's report of the con-
dition of the institution at the close
of business December 81, showed as
sets of almost three million dollars, a
substantial increase in the deposits
and in the number Of deposftOrs dur
ing the year. The net profits earned
were much in excess of the previous
year, demonstrating that the bank
has had an unusually prosperous
twelve months A substantial
amount was added to the undivided
profits account, SO that the bank is
one Of the strongest institutions in
eastern Maine, with a capital Of
100000, surplus of 100000, and
undivided profits of $4,000. The
Christmas club showed an increase
of more than fifty per cent. on de-
posits, and it is anticipated that
1925 will show an even larger in
crease, as it is very popular form
of savings.
The Union Trust Co. has been
Bank for several years, which gives
it the supervision not only of the
State banking department., but OF
the national government, which
really places it in the same class as
a national bank, with many advan-
tages added under the State banking
laws.
The bank maintains three agen-
cies-at Cherryfield, Stonington and
McKinley-and these agencies
showed a substantial increase for
the year. The bank has recently
installed up-to-date equipment in all
of it's branches, and equipped the
safes with the Bankers Electric
Protective System. The agencies
are giving the communities in which
they are located the service they
