Atlanta, Gait appears that no

the best general position since 1870.
Government agents, baslng their
statement on surveys of the national
department of agriculture take the

demand for farm products, IN TACT,
the situation indicates a posslA' de-
crease in demand the latter part OF

creased. Further material increases
in Sticks, it was asserted, might cas-

Giant Eagle Viewed
By Curious Throngs

Atlanta, Ga.-A big bald eagle is
on display in a wire cage at the front
of a shoe shop on Peachtree Street in
Atlanta. 1t is the property of g
farmer.
The bird, made famous by the wide
circulation of it's likeness on the sill
yer dollar "and other valuable con.
siderations," was caught in a stee
trap set for a fox while the farmer
was hunting in his native state, Smith
county, Virginia. 1t measures seven
feet from the tip of one wing to the
other.
The farmer told the correspondent
of this news service there were two OF
the birds playing. around the trap,
fighting a fox that had fallen victim
to it. He and his companions re-
moved the fox and reset the trap.
The next time they went back the
bird had been caught by one OF his
toes. He surrendered without put
ting up much Of fight and was
brought to Atlanta.
The other bird, the farmer said,
lowered around the barn in Virginia
where the captured eagle was held
prisoner for several days. 1t would
Fly, irSa circle around the barn, as if
looking for a way to rescue its mate,
but did not attempt to attack anyone
on the place.
1t is the first live eagle to be
brought to Atlanta in years and will
be kept on display for several days
to attract the attention of curious
Atlantians.

Dolling Up Dixie
Goes on Rapidly
SAWS AND HAMMERS ARE RING.
ING ALL OVER SOUTH-NO IN
DICATION OF SLOWING UP
REPORTED.

Atlanta, Ga.-Saws and Hammers
are ringing all over the South. The
new dolling up process is continuing
! at record rate with practically no
indication of any slowing down dur
ing the year. Indeed, most OF the
construction plans now in process of
expansion cannot be completed with
in the year, and what applies to the
South applies to all parts of the
country, particularly in the thirty
six states nearest the Atlantic, which
taken as whole, show an annual ex-
penditure of nearly six billions of
dollars in improvements.
The foregoing, in effect, is a re-
port of the situation by G. L. Miller
and Company Of Atlanta, nationally
known investment house, which makes
regular surveys of building construc-
ton. "Dolling Up Dixie goes on at
a rapid rate.
Business houses throughout the
South have, been remodeled at a, big
cost SO that they are not only larger
but far more beautiful in the bust
ness skyline State, county and city
buildings have been dressed up and
improved and in some instances new
structures have been erected. Brand
new hotels and apartment houses
have been erected and are in the
course of erection everywhere.
Bridges have been built and highways
have been paved, street signs i'm
proved and traffic programs
amended, and in all respects Dixie is
not half through with the improve
ments.
Practically speaking, according to
business men here, it is New World,
New America and New South the
people are living in today and if they
press on for the next ten years as
they have been doing since they got
squared away from the wild alarms of
war they will not only be living in a
far more inviting environment but
they will hold more beautiful and
satisfactory Southland.
The Miller Company officials to-
day predicted the investment of many
millions in southern structures and
enterprises in the South during the
present year.

Classified Ads Are
Great Help to Users

Few people realize the value of
classified ads.
They are wonder workers in the
way of aid to the users.
They can be used to rent property,
to find lost articles, to fill vacant
rooms, secure table boarders, sell mis-
cellaneous articles, and hundred
and one other things that hardly re-
quire the publicity of larger, or dis
play space, as it is called in newspa-
per parlance.
For instance, if q person wants to
sell eggs for Matching purposes, a
small classified ad will let practically
everyone in the immediate commu-
nifty know about it. Same way with
wanting to get things. Just say so in
the classified ads and watch the re
sults--you will be surprised.
The Leader will carry these small
messages at the rate of ten cents {
line, rs cents minimum. Try then
out for any need you have.

Spectacular scenes of famous cpl
sodes of the American Revolution are
accurately reproduced in Janice
Meredith" Marion Davies Preten-
tious and beautiful Cosmopolitan pro-
duction, at the Grand Opera House
Monday and Tuesday.
The skirmish at Lexington-"the
shot that was heard around the
world"-the breathless moment of
suspense, waiting to see whether the
British would fire the first shot in the
American Revolution; the dauntless
Minute Men bravely fighting against
frightful odds-this is one of the
thrilling scenes of the production.
Crossing the Delaware
Washington crossing the Delaware,
a living reproduction of the famous
painting by Trumbull, is also grip
ping chapter of the photoplay. A
channel 400 feet wide had to be cut
through the Saranac River in the
Adirondacks to permit the crossing of
specially constructed flat boats and
RATS, transporting the soldiers and
loaded with cannon, oxen and supply
wagons.

his horses boots resounded through

When Benjamin Franklin, in his
sober garb, pleaded for aid tod the
Colonies at the Court of Louis XVI
at Versailles, and the thousands of
French nobility in their gorgeous bro
cades and satins and elaborate head
dresses surrounded him-all reflected
in enormous mirrored walls with
sparkling chandeliers-is another his
torical scene.
The hardship and suffering Of
Washington and his troops is wildly
depicted, when the General shared

opposite side of the Delaware General
Howe was rendered farewell ball by
his officers at the Wharton Villa.
Beautiful women, richly gowned and

their camp fires-a striking contrast,
wonderfully photographed.

One of his earlier accomplishments
was to pluck the spines from the cac-
tus and turn an obnoxious weed into
p food for the lower animals which
later was made the base for candy to
be nibbled by the flapper. He has
taken stones from pluns, pits from
oranges and seeds from grapes. For
years he has directed the evolution
of our vegetation, bringing not alone
Joy to millions Of persons throughout
the world but adding in no small way
TO the national wealth.
Due to the never ending search for
the unusual rather than the impor-
tant our newspapers and magazines
seemingly have conferred the public
mind on Burbank's accomplishments
among the flowers, hundreds of
which are amazing in their beauty,
but perhaps his greatest accomplish
ment was the production of the Bur-
bank potato in 1876, which, according
to figures supplied by the Department
Of Agriculture, added S17,00O,OOO
yearly to the agricultural productiv-
ity of the country.
Then he gave perennial growth to a
species of rhubarb and increased the
size of the edible stalk from the
thickness of lead pencil to a cir
conference of approximately twelve
inches.
Scientific selection and directed
survival Of the fittest appears to have
been the basis of the Burbank accom-
plishments. The magnitude of his
task and the patience required in Sc
lection:may be judged from the fact
that at one time he started fourteen
bonfires, each containing about, 65,-
coo two and three years old berry
bushes, discarded in the conduct of
one experiment. His selection OF
seeds: having certain characteristics,
his later selection for further breed
ing of the resulting plants that best
exhibited a leaning toward the varla-
ton he desired has called for a quail
ity of patience and persistence so
highly developed that the like has not
been duplicated in the world. One
may Judge of this and of Burbank's
untiring industry when it is known
he has developed more than 100000
varieties of the gladiola, and that his
new cammassia, flower of peculiar
blue color, has been brought to
bloom following twenty-six years OF
continuous experiment. Then think
of rainbow corn which grows eight
feet high and bears from eight to
fourteen. ears on each stalk. :,
Burbank's pet is his "Molton Fire, "
an amoranthus with irridescent Grim
SON, to glowing pink leaves. that re.
semble most the glowing flashes OF
redhot coal. When this striking ex-
ample of plant culture first showed
it's full development of color its bril-
fancy was short lived, Now the
flashing colors are retained tor
period of three months.
Burbank, like Roosevelt, first
sought the great outdoors in search
for health. Both gained it, and both
have repaid in full the generosity OF
Mother Nature.

sleep nights due to irritating night
coughing can now obtain practically
instant relief and sleep soundly the

coughing. So with the throat soothed
and cleared, coughing stops quickly,
