Plans are being made for the in
PRODUCTION of an anti bucket shop
bill to regulate dealing in cotton fu-
lures when the Georgia Legislature
meets in June. The bill, which has
already been drawn, is based on the
one now successfully in operation in
Texas.
The bill was introduced at the last
session of the legislature by Repre-
sentative James ID. Weaver, of Ter
rell county, but never came up for ac-
ton because of the crowded condition
of the calendar.
The purposes of the bill are to rem
edy the present cotton-futures act
which does not clearly define which
practices are legal and which are not.
1t also seeks to prohibit and punish
gambling in futures and to make le-
gal those contracts, and those only,
which call for actual delivery of cot
ton.

a candle of cheer, a star of saving

"a candle Of cheer, a star OF saving

public Welfare" passes the tri-
butte on to the agencies, institutions
and communities of Georgia whose
service has meant that more little
children are happier and better cared
for; that more families who have suf-
fered misfortune are together and
on the road to self help by reason of
the wise and friendly counsel OF a
trained community worker; that the
jails are safer and cleaner places for
offenders against society; and that
more old people have fireside of
their own and fewer huddle about in
dreary almshouses.
The cover of Public Welfare
bears two candles, small one repre-
senting 1926 and tall, brightly burn
ing taper representing 1927. OF this
figure it says: "But in lighting the
new candle of 1927 from the flame
of 1926 the shadows of our failures

our light shine further in service tt

STATE BOARD OF PUBLIC
WELFARE COMMENDED

Cole Jones, editorial writer of the
Atlanta Journal, in a tribute to the
State Board of Public Welfare which
is carried on the cover of the jan
uary number of Public Welfare"
says: "Out of the heart are the issues
of life. The heart of the government
of Georgia is its Department of Pub
lie Welfare, created that law might
march enlightened by good will and
that justice might be, not merely a
blind goddess, but discerning friend.
For the unprivileged, the unfortun-
ate, the forgotten children of earth
it is constantly concerned, knowing
that as the weak are strengthened
the strong are ennobled. Common
wealths may be prosperous yet UNI
happy, cultured yet wanting in Wis
dom, outwardly efficient yet failures
within. Only when quickened with
humanity do their talents truly live.

Welfare Georgia's humanity CLEANS

FEWER SHOES ARE WORN
SINCE ADVENT OF AUTO

Atlanta, Ga.-As the use of auto
mobiles increase, the wear and tear
on shoes declines. In fact shoe man.
ufacturers in Atlanta are complain
ing that their business is suffering
from this cause.
Farmers in particular are using
fewer shoes, it was shown. They no
longer walk beside a load as they used
to do when it was pulled by horses.
Trucks and automobiles on farms
have greatly shortened the distance
either the farmer or his wife walks
in the course of few days or
week
City folks too are consuming sole
leather with greater moderation, 1t
was shown here. 1t is so easy to hop
into the car to go even a few blocks
to a friends or to the grocer's on
errands of pleasure or business.
1t is hard on the shoe business, of
course, it was stated in Atlanta. But
it alo raises the additional harrow
ing thought that has been suggested
by gloomy prophets. That is, are the
people doing their feet and their gen.
eral health permanent injury by this
lessened walking.
Perhaps the answer is while there
is golf, there is hope, said an Allan
ia golfer. Many men and women who
make excessive use of the family car
on other days spend their holidays
tramping over a golf course. Sun
days used to be spent sitting quietly
in church in the morning and Sleep
ing peacefully on the couch in the af-
ternoon. Dancing too, helps the ped
al exteremities from growing obso-
lete, dancing teachers in Atlanta said.

EASTERN CAPITAL
FLOWS TO SOUTH

Atlanta, Ga.-Southern securities
particularly first mortgage real es-
tate bonds, find a ready sale in all
the money markets of the country.
This is the statement made here by
officials of the Adair Realty and
Trust company, of Atlanta, with rep
resentation in the principal cities OF
the United States.
This company is represented in
New York and St. Louis by the Adair
Realty and Mortgage company, or or
ganization under identical ownership,
while in Philadelphia, Pa, and jack
sonville, are branch offices of the
Adair Realty and Trust company.
The Adair organization, during re-
cent years, has become a nationwide
financial influence through its many
large issues of firt mortgage real es-
tate bonds, which are now popular
investment in this country, as we'll
as in foreign countries.
Through the sale of these bonds,
the Atlanta concern has brought mil
lions of dollars into the south for
building, and this outside capital, it
is shown, has done much to aid the
recent growth of the section that is
now attracting national attention.
Frank Adair, president of the COM
pany, who has just returned to At
lanta from a business trip said that
everybody is talking Dixie, Mr..
Adair, who is an optimist by nature,
predicts that the South will have a
big business year in 1927.

Br'er Coon, as Uncle Remus called
him, is having hard row to travel in
Georgia these days for the trappers
are after him and farmers have learn
ed that his pelt is worth something
in the fur market and will go far to-
ward making up the deficit growing
out of the low price for cotton and
other farm products.
According to reports received in
Atlanta, trapping fur-bearing animals
has taken on proportions of a real
industry this season, owing to in
creased prices paid for fur hides. AL
ready large amounts have been
brought to South Georgia through
this new channel during the present
season.
One Valdosta distributing concern
is authority for the information that
it has this season distributed to re-
tail dealers in the Valdosta territory
fifteen hundred dozen traps for use

Civic and industrial leaders in At
lanta have voiced their opinion that
the business outlook for 1927 in
Georgia and the rest of the south is
decidedly rosy.
The prediction of prosperous per-
iod during the next twelve months,
is based on the cautious and conser-
vative attitude of business men and
bankers, along with the present sound
underlying conditions.
Leaders in all lines in Atlanta
say that state and section is sound
economically and fundamentally and
banking is in sound condition.
"Some device whereby the farmer
is assured of more than a living wage

one commodity is the need of the

of the state agricultural department.

NEWS OF GEORGIA AND
THE STATE CAPITAL
(Cilreath Press Syndicate)

Atlanta, Ga. - Eastern industry
that has not yet learned that the
South is destined to become the great
industrial center of America is learn
ing that business in some lines has
become improbable in the east, it
was stated here by Atlanta manufac-
turers.
The South which for years furnish
ed the raw cotton for the great cot
ton mills of New England is now COM
peting with New England in the man
ufacture of cotton goods to such an
extent, it was asserted here, that
some of the New England mills are
liquidating preparatory to retiring
from business, while others are COM
ing South.
The Lawrence Manufacturing COM
pany, of Lowell, Mass, announced
some time ago that it's directors had
voted to liquidate because the bust
ness could not compete successfully
with Southern mills. 1t will be re-
called that months ago large cotton
mill at New Bedford, Mass, was dis
mantled and shipped to Tennessee to
be placed in operation there.
Industrialists are fast learning, At
lanta manufacturers stated, that the
South offers almost ideal climate and
labor, and has available the raw ma
terials needed and the potential wa
ter power which is essential to cheap
er operating costs. Development OF
Muscle Shoals in Alabama by the al
lied power companies, which seems
to be generally favored here and IN
many sections of the South, local
manufacturers show, will mean a ire
mendous increase in hydro-electric
mower and at the same time the pro-
vision for manufacturing fertilizer
embodied in the power company offer
will mean much to farmers.
