FIND YOUTH is
"HORNING" WAY
AROUND WORLD

"Horning ones way around the
world" is rapidly becoming a popular
means by which Young America is
gratifying Its "going abroad" hunger,
according to information reaching the
Conn Music Center, Elkhart, Ind. Mu-
sic is not only the wherewithal which
makes it possible for him to satisfy
his desire for travel, but it is also
keeping his pockets rather well lined.
The American band Is found aboard
the ships of every flag, and In the cap
itals of the nations of the Orient and
Occident. Members of orchestras pro-
vide music aboard boat at comfortable
salaries and further increase their
earnings through concerts In foreign
ports. The story of Americas SYM
phonic jazz has penetrated every ma
tion, and the natives are waiting to
know more of 1t. They are anxious
to try their luck with Americas dance
steps, too.
Even the American girls are "horn-
ing in on this free but de luxe travel
scheme. When Jack Sutherland re-
turned to the United States recently
his saxophone sextette included four
American girls. They had stopped in
Honolulu for their first appearance,
then jumped to Japan. From there
they kept on going, and playing.
"We were treated like ambassa- |
dors," reported Jesse Wright and his |
fellow members of the S. S. Franconia
orchestra, when they docked at San
Francisco after circling the globe on
one of their tours.

TREMENDOUS MOTORCYCLE A
HUGE SUCCESS

nent citizens of Jacksonville, headed
by Mayor Alsop, met the tourists at
Folkston and escorted them into Jack
sonville. Upon their arrival here
Mayor Alsop made brief speech of
welcome, to which a response was
made by ]. E. Turner, of Fitzgerald,
after which the Fitzgerald Communi-
ty Band, splendid musical organiza-
ton of fifty pieces, gave a concert in
Heming Park, which attracted a
large crowd.
Between Folkston and Waycross on
the Central DIXIE highway is one of
the longest straightaways to be found
in the state, if not in the south. For
distance of approximately twenty
five miles the road SENS to be as
straight as an arrow and runs away
to nothing as it merges from the dis
tant horizon.
Tuesday morning the tourists were
guests at the Florida State Fair,
which is in full blast here this week,
and special program of speeches
! had been arranged in connection
with their visit.
Monday night the Fitzgerald Com
munity band gave concert whlcf
was broadcast by WAX. In connec
ton with the concert, Editor w. /
Anderson, of the Macon Telegraph
and Frank T. Reynolds, of Atlanta
who is representing Governor Wal
ker on the tour, and ]. E. Turner, o
Fitzqerald. made short talks over tn
radio and Miss Marjorie Owens,
talented young contralto OF Fltzger
aid, sang solo. .
Among those who are given tn
nrincipal credit for the success OF tn
motorcade are Mr.. Gelders, >. I
Brewer, of Douglas, who was the tou
manager, and J. H. Palmer and "
A. Adams, of Fitzgerald; John Sls
ter, of Douglas; Mayor H. ID. Bum
of Waycross and Thomas Wrenc
and L. E. Mallard, of Folkston.

Car Shortages Now
Thing of the Past

Atlanta, Ga.-Railroads of the
country have so nearly eliminated
car shortages that the public seldom,
if ever, hears the words "car short
age" now, according to statement
made here today by railroad execu-
tives. 1t pointed out that the pubilc
has thereby been saved several hum
dred million dollars annually, an
amount larger than the entire net op-
Grating income of the railways. The
saving is actual and not theoretical,
the executives state.
Attention is called to the fact that
Chas. H. Keith, a leading lumber
manufacturer, shows that improved
railway service has made possible
reduction in stocks carried in the lum-
Der industry alone of six hundred
millions of dollars, and that, If the
reduction of inventories in other lines
of business has been in proportion,
it has totaled seven billions of dol
lars. By any method of figuring, At
lanta executives assert, it can be
seen that the saving in carrying
charges on this amount of goods is
enormous.
"Inadequate rates which prevent
adequate railroad service, cause ir-
reparable loss to the the nation" says
the statement given out here.

BARTON TO HEAD
BAPTIST PROGRAM
Missourlan Will Lead Effort to In
crease Mission and Benevolent
Budget
CHURCHES GIVE TOO LITTLE
Survey Reveals Low Standards MAIN
talned by Many-Plans Arc Laid
For Improvement In 1927

To lead Southern Baptists in great
ly increasing their budget for the SUP
port of missions, Christian education
and benevolences, DR.. A. ]. Barton
of Kansas City, superintendent OF
Baptist work in Missouri for the past
three years, and one of the most
prominent men in the denomination.
has accepted the position OF general
director of the Baptist Cooperative
Program, and will move to Nashville.
Tenn, to assume his new duties at
once.
Southern Baptists are seeking to
raise 100000 for the Cooperative
Program during this convention year
and DR.. Barton will seek to enlist the
aid Of every agency and church OF
the Southern Baptist Convention In
the accomplishment Of this task.
Has Served Denomination
To his new position DR.. Barton
brings a wide denominational and
public experience. He has held promi
nent pastorates In the South and has
served as associate secretary of the
Foreign Mission Board, field secre'
tary of the Home Mission Board
general secretary of the Arkansas
State Mission Board, and secretary
of the Tes..s Baptist Education Com
mission prior to taking up his work
in Missouri. He has also long been
prominent in the cause Of temper
ance. For sixteen years he has been

lative committees of the Anti-saI0on
League of America and during his
incumbency as superintendent of the
Anti-saloon League of Texas he saw
prohibition written into the constitu-
ton of that state.
Bringing the Baptist churches of
the South to a higher standard in
giving to the missi onary, educational
and benevolent program Of the de-
nomination, known as the Co-operar
tive Program, will be the first and
chief task to which the new general
director will address himself.
According to recent survey of the
record of the Baptist churches of the
South, compiled from the letters of
the individual churches to their dis
trict associations for 1925. made by
DR.. E. P. Alldredge, statistical secre-
tary of Southern Baptists, 5,927
churches listed as cooperating with
the Southern Baptist Convention,
gave nothing to missions and benevo-
lences last year. Other interesting
information cleaned from this survey
reveals that 1888 other churches,
or slightly more than one-half Of the
total number Of churches. retained
from rs to SO cents out Of every dol
lar coming into their treasures for
purely local work; 1855 churches az
piled from 81 to 75 cents, and 1856
churches from 81 to 66 cents out Of
every dollar contributed to their own
local work: whereas, only SOL churces
In all the South gave 80 cents or more
out of every dollar coming into their
treasures to missions and benevo.
lences beyond the borders of their
own communities.
The Southern Baptist Convention
has established an ideal OF a fifty
fifty distribution in that it is recon-.
mending to the churches that they
endeavor to give half of all the
money raised by them to the general
work Of the denomination, retaining
the other half for their own local
expenses.
Included in the plans of the Coop
erative Program is an every-membeI
canvass this fall n every Baptist
church with a view to enlistina
every member in making a subscripi
tion to missions and beneyolences.
Another effort is that Of enlistina
at least 100000 Southern Baptists cd
tithers, or giving one-tenth Of thei4
incomes to religious work through
their churches. IN this connection
the number Of tithers which each
state in the Southern Baptist Conf
vention will undertake to enlist if
given as follows: Alabama. 37,S60j
Arkansas. 21.250: District of Column
bia, 1000; Florida, 1850; Georgia,

LASSES WHITES
MINSTRELS GOOD
-instrels seldom reach that point

Minstrels seldom reach that point
of entertainment perfection where
they can be called excellent. But the
seventh edition of Lasses Whites
minstrel show, at the Jefferson this
week, goes far beyond that point.
It is. without doubt, one Of the
cleanest, most wholesome pieces of
entertainment that this critic has
seen in these many, many moons.
Folks are wont to say of min
strel show, "Oh, I don't care for min
strels." But if anyone fails to get
an evening of good laughs out of
Lasses White, then this department
will refund the price of admission
try to get it.
Real money has been spent in the
White show for music, and well spent,
too. To J. Lester Haberkorn, Myron
Norris, Carol Franks, Price jenkins
and Jack Bean go the vocal honors
in the more or less serious line OF
singing.
Mobile Ben McAtee, Billy Doss,
Skeet Mayo, and, of course, the one
and onIv Lasses White, furnish that
type of song and dance that starts
with a chuckle and ends with a
laugh.
Skeet Mayo, Billy Doss and Lasses,
like good liquor, improve with age.
Each year these three funsters get
better and better. Mayo, III his
"Sweet, Oh N.Y." is particularly good.
So is Lasses with Don't Cadillac
Me-" and Billy Doss when he sings
'tYou Got to get the Baby Bottle" ="
and "For Cryin' Out Loud"
The show is typically a minstrel
from start to finish, yet it has that
touch that lifts it out of the class OF
the ordinary minstrel show. The
songs, dances and jokes are new, I'M
possible as that fact may seem for
minstrel show. And like every other
Lasses White production, the costum-
ing is neat and clean.
Miss Lasses Whites Minstrels and
you've missed the best.-Birmlngham
