proximately 300,0O0,000 feet board
measure Of mature and over-mature
yellow pine on the university lands,
and that approximately two-fhirds or
200 million feet could be marketed
within the next II years (by 1926.
He placed what he considered a rea-
sonabie stumpage price of $3.50 per M
feet OH it, which he estimated would
bring into the university fund of the
state a total OF 100000 for the sale
of timber alone there being nominal
receipts from sale of cordwood and
leases to stockmen. He also believed
that "this amount can be steadily in
creased at frequent intervals there
after blythe sale of timber not yet ma
ture but so nearly mature that it will
soon be suitable for cutting" Let US

Santa Claus Now Buys
TOYS in United States

Atlanta. Ca, Nov. Sit is not
quite time to ask the newspaper
reader-the reader of this particular
story-to do his Christmas shopping
early, but it is not out of place to
suggest that one plans to follow the
good example of Santa Claus and
shop at home, according to c. W. Nc
Clure, Atlanta capitalist.
Santa Claus used to have to go to
Germany for more than SO per cent
of his shopping. Now he stays In
the United States most of the time.
Mr. Mcclure Is authority for this
statement and he ought to know for
he is the head of string of ten cent
stores. Few business men realize, Mr..
Mcclure says, that rs per cent of
the toys now sold for their children
are stamped "made in U. S. A." rath-
er than Germany"
And toys consume surprisingly
large portion of the average business
mans spare cash--in the course of a
whole year, as Mr.. Mcclure shows.
The outstanding feature has been the
progress in education toys--toys that
are not merely playthings. Such
gifts, Mr.. Mcclure pointed out, hold
more permanent favor, and help to
develop many business and scienti-
fic genius of the future. .

Great Organization

When the Firestone Plantations
company starts operations in Liberia
it will mean the building of coun-
try, as much as an expansion of bus
iness BY a great 5cprporatiOn. Conces-
sions of 100000 acres of rubber
plantations and the purchase of
many thousand acres now operated
by the British, is but start on the
500, 100000 development planned
by this company. The plans call for
the building of harbors, roads, towns,
hospitals andt the organization of a
Steamship line. There WILDE employ
ment for $4,000 men, the natives
working for a shilling a day or less.
Malarial conditions that prevail there
to- some extent can be stamped out
in the opinion of expert authorities,
the climate otherwise being even
better than Florida. MIR. Firestone
would have preferred to establish his
rubber projects in the Philippines and
under the American flag sbut The Fill.
ipinos themselves opposed the move
ment as a possible hindrance to their
ultimate independence. True, the
magnitude of the development will
have farreaching influence in q
marked way upon the economic and
probably the political conditions OF

Christian Church
Holds Conference
In Fitzgerald

The seventy-eighth annual conven-
ton of the Georgia Christian church
es convened at Fitzgerald, November
3. The delegates were welcomed to
the church that had prayed for the
convention for a whole year by the
pastor, Rev. Bruce Nay, and to the
city by the mayor, Honorable Jack
Mayes.
Several newministers recently en-
tering the state were formally pre-
sented to the convention. DR.. J. Ran
dali Farris, of Savannah based his
opening address on the seventeenth
ichapter of st. John. He said this
prayer of Christ was prayed twenty
centuries ago and then lost to the
Christian world. About one hundred
years ago it was rediscovered by a
Presbyterian minister in Scotland.
DR.. Farris declared that there is no
Biblical authority for divisions of the
churches and that they can all agree
on the great essential but never on
the non-essentials. There is common
ground between all the churches in
what they believe alike to furnish a
suffuicient foundation for union of
all Protestant churches.
y Wednesday morning the conven-
ton settled down to business. The
main issue of-regional Importance is
the founding 4 school Of religion at
Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in connection
with the Alabama State University.
Georgia for Christ" is the con-
vention theme and all sessions fol-
low this theme in addresses, reports
and resolutions. Wednesday evening
a great church banquet was held at
tended by several hundred people.

Navy Band Given
Ovation By Atlanta
Music Lovers


Responding to encore after encore
from a large audience that enthus-
iastically demonstrated its apprecia-
ton. the United States Navy band
gained a permanent niche in the
hearts of music-loving Atlantians
with an admirable rendition of a
program which included wide varie-
ty of selections.
Band music was not the only niu-
sic given Atlantians-there were
symphony selections, folk songs, jazz
pieces and favorite airs that every
one loves, all in a program arranged
in perfect balance.
Easily the hits of the night were
cornet solos by Bandmaster G. DE
Giorgio, and flute and clainet duets
by Bandmasters J. w. Bell and c.
Brendler. DeGorgio's rendition OF
"The Rosary" especially appealed to
the audience. After pleasing with
"Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark" the flute
and clarinet due obliged with "The
Butterfly"
March compositions by Lieutenant
Charles Benter, director, scored as
features of the program. Throwing
himself into the spirit of the Muse
Lieutenant Benter rivaled the macs.
tro, Sousa, in directing and by per.
feet coordination between director
and players, the navy band proved
that it is on a par, if not greater than
any band in the country.
An entertaining feature of the eve
ming was the rendition of three
marches by the navy band together
with the Fort Mcpherson, the G. M.
A., and the Marist school bands, Lieu
tenant Benter directing the massed
units.
Those who missed the navy band
concert are out of luck, for, accord
ing to those in charge, it will be years
before the band will play in this Sec
ton again, as it takes presidential
consent for the navy band to perform
From Atlanta the band goes to Rome.
This excellent musical organization
will appear in Fitzgerald, under the
auspices of the Kiwanis club on Nov
ember 25.

Atlanta's Horse Show
Exhibits Finest Stock

Atlanta, Ga.,t November 4a-At-
lanta had the best horse show at the
Southeastern Fair this year in the
city's history. Credit for its success
is given to Frank Adair and Holland
Judkins, moving spirit in the exhi-
biton. gs&4 ~
The Milton Stables better known
perhaps as the Old Hickory M ountain
Stables at Barboursville, KY; repre-
scented at the Atlanta show, have been
known as the finest breeders and
trainers of horses in the world, and
until the sale of "Vendetta" and "My
Lady Minton" to Frank Adair, of
Atlanta, these stables had never sold
horse to any person. Vendetta"
this year was the first mare in seven
years to take a blue ribbon at the
Kentucky State Fair-the honor gone
previously to. stations. @
Robert McCray, the manager of
the Minton Stables, is admitted by
authorities generally to be the best
trainer and handler Of horses in the
world. He was in Atlanta to ride
in the show at the Southeastern Fair.
The Atlanta show brought some of
the worlds finest stock---horses that
have won first first honors in the
most important events in the United
States, among them the Kentucky +

Auto Assn Going
After Speed Traps

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 3.-Automobile
associations, according to members
Of the local organization, have en-
tered into a war against those who
operate speed traps for autoists in
different parts of the country and
wax fat therefrom. 1t has been, de-
termined, it was stated here, to go
after these fellows and try to break
up the practice of holding up drivers
of machines for excessive fines. a
Investigation has proved, it was
eointed out here, that about 80 per
cent of the roadside courts have ac-
I ave speed traps and these traps and
courts are operated for revenue on
". The justice who sits and the of
fcer who arrests, it is claimed, care
nothing about the enforcement of
sthe motor vehicle regulations. They
want to get money from those they
fake in custody and they figure that
sE1e average man would rather pay
fand go on his way than be harassed
with a preliminary hearing and a
afial some days later.
~ Motorists in practically every part
sof the country, it was asserted here,
ssce suffering from this form of high
way banditry, offering at the same
time to open to the public its records
nj many incidents where motorists
Turing the present touring season
were the victims of a system of en-
fercement "for revenue only"

Education in 26oos A. B.

kS0u(&1AAURA AAA AAVVVH&AN Ne
Looking back over a stretch of rs
years and noting the great changes
effected. in educational methods and
equipment, Dr. w. F., Melton, of
Emory University Is inspired to fore
cast some possible changes to take
place in tn enext rs years or by 1000
A. D. The first drastic change, DR..
Melton foEssees is the elimination Of
final examinations as q method en-
tirely unnecessary and unsatisfactory
in determining the rank of any stu
dent. The objection being low marks
due to nervousness, and high marks
due to examining, neither giving a
fair estimate, 'peeping" induced by
dread of failure, and to cap all. the
sheer inability, Of any teacher to do
justice to hundreds of papers in a
few hours of inspection. Another
likely change is that Of getting boys
and girls through with this schooling
in a thorough way in possible IL
or Is years, where twenty are now
required. The professor facetiously
adds "If' you question these state
.ments, kindly file this paper (the
Georgian) for future reference"

 Miss Van File pointed out that in addition to the 100000 children who will die before they are IA, 300,000 will need preventive care and su- pervision to keep them well up to and beyond the adolescent period. The prevention of disease is task, she pointed out, that belongs pri- marily to the public health nurse.
