herds. some of which have become ma
tionally known.
Mr.. Skinner, who was introduced by
Mr.. C. H. Bishop, spoke highly OF the
conditions as he found them on TINS
visit to the dairy counties OF Georgia
and gave it as his expert opinion that
this section offers wonderful oppor-
tunties for the greater development
of this feature of agriculture, strongly
recommending the securing OF. pure
bred animals for the farms OF this
section. Mr.. Skinner stated that he
could now go back to his northern
states and in good faith recommend
this section to the prospective. settlers
from that section, who are looking tor
new lands to settle on and to enter
into the live stock business.
With the mild winters and the long
growing seasons, this section offers OPP
portunities to his western farmers,
which are not equalled anywhere IN
the states, said the speaker. !.

the Atlanta Journal, who is now max
ing a personal survey of the cond1-
tions in the state and whose interest
ing reports appear daily in the Jour-
nal. spoke of the wonderful progress
he is finding all over Georgia, IN the
renewed energies expended by Its PEG,

ociation by civic clubs and individuals.
Mr.. 7. E. Turner of the Exchange Ma

need of better farm homes in our sec

the COW, hog and hen program to
The evening was one long to be

Losing Arm and SIS Job
Did Not Discourage Murray
World War Veteran Studied Bus
mess Course So Well That
Boston University Makes Him
A Professor.
Written for The Leader
By ROBERT FULLER
Thru Autocaster Service)

BOSTON, Mass, March Is John
Murray, now an instructor in Boston
University here, who, quitting an $18
the World War and lost an arm in
the Argonne, has written an appeal to
remember those still suffering the
pains of the great conflict.
Il suppose it is just human nature
to forget" he says.
Murray has won both bachelors
and masters degree in the last year.
Boston University had planned to
make salesman of him, but his work
in economics attracted attention to
such an unusual degree that the uni
versity decided it did not wish to- los :
him. He knows what it means to really
and literally fight for an education,
and his letter, sent to national head
quarters of the American Legion in
Indianapolis, is plea in support of
the American Legion Endowment
Fund for disabled men and orphans of
veterans.
"My observation and my knowledge
of the Legion's acts of kindness and
help to many others prove to me the
justification for its existence" he says.
Murray had been working as a tran
sit man, swinging hammer and car,
rying a surveyors chain for civil
engineer, early in 1917. He believed he
could begin college course the next
fall. Then war. Murray quickly de-
cided he could not stay on the side
lines.
Gassed and Loses Arm in Argonne
He went to France with the 1l1th
Infantry of the 18th Division. At Mon
blainville in the Argonne he was gass7
ed and his left forearm SO badly shat
tered it had to be amputated. Most Of
his savings had disappeared. Like al
most everyone else in uniform, he had
hardly expected that he would be liv-
living when the war ended. Besides,
the dollars value had shrunken. Muir
ray could not return to his old work,
and the cost of everything, including
education, had risen.
However, the government agencies
were making that heart rending begin
ming of the efforts to give all men dis
abled in war service a fair deal. The
government acknowledged that man
who had given an arm for his country
was entitled to an education at the
country's cost. So Murray was enroll
ed in the College of Business Admin
istration of Boston University. He now
has completed the courses at the age
of % and has been made professor.
On the threshold of newer and wider
ambitions, he writes:
Certainly, if it were not for the
American Legion, many of us, myself
included, would have no reason to be
other than bitterly disposed towards
everything, respondent and unhappy"

THAT it is wise economy on the part
of the buying public to read the ads
before they shop.
THAT ads show ample choice and
price to select from.
THAT the wise buyers clings fast to
that fact.
THAT the modern way of advertising
is as usual, the sensible way for the
business concerns to get business.
THAT the modern way of buying IS
by reading the ads and buying where
the best buys are.
MANY business concerns help to
postpone prosperity for themselves
by curtailing advertising and talking
pessimistically.

BY JOT1I IN II. LII VI
TT is not claimed that the Ma
| tional Dixie is the only good
Highway from Florida to the
North Atlantic Coast, but it GER
tainly is a good all weather route
which can be relied on by tourists
coming north this spring.
In the past year there has been
much new road CONSTRUCTION in
the states lying between Florida
and New York, but full reports
and details of this new construc..
ton are still lacking, so the road
advice here given is based on re-
ports for construction and condl-
lions in the previous year.
From Jacksonville to the Flor
ida line the road is now boule-
ward nearly all the way. From
Jacksonville there are paved roads
to nearly all parts of Florida.
Jacksonville to Waycross
From Jacksonville to Waycross,
Ga, the road north of the Flor
ida line is mostly gravel, with
some paving. The distance be-
tween the two cities is TIT miles.
There is a tourist camp on the
St. Mary's River by the toll
bridge, and another, Miller's Auto
Camp, two miles south of Way
cross.
Waycross to Fitzgerald
Between Waycross and Macon
the sand clay roads are well
maintained and no serious troub-
lie is likely to be had at any time:
From Waycross to Fitzgerald
the mileage is III and from Fitz-
gerald to Macon it is 94.9 miles.
Three miles from Waycross
there is camping space in pine
grove and a tourist camp in an
oak grove at Waresboro, IT. mi
les. There is also camping space
near Tellmore-15.5 miles-in
pine grove by store; in grove

Members Of His Flock
Take Blocks Pastor
Made For Church
BY International News Service.

NORFOLK, Va, March 28.-
"a Judas in the Vineyard" is
the sermon that Reverend w. A.
Price, pastor of the Mount Zion
Baptist Church, has scheduled,
but its literal application, he
stated, would be Al Judas in
the Brickyard."
For, according to the pastors
belief, members of his flock have
appropriated many of the foun-
dation blocks he had made with
his own hands during five years,
with the view of erecting new
church.
Assisted BY faithful menu
heTs Of his congregation, Hever-
end Price nodded cement blocks
whenever opportunity presented.
OF the more. than 8 700 blocks
stored away. 600 have been
taken, he stated. And he de-
clares that many of the blocks
have been used in the founda-
tions of new homes for members
of his own flock. The part that
hurst worst, the clergyman said,
is that he believes some of the
blocks were used in the con-
struction of a home for q lead
ing member of his congregation.
Arrests will follow Immediately,
Reverend Price said.
