SERVICE
Votji* Fire insurance Foiiey is nothing more than a
contract between you and sonic insurance company.
When you buy insurance, be sure that the other party
to the contract is anxious to do a little more than the
right thing.
This agency h?ps had sixty-three years in which to
select the pick of the companies most fair and prompt
in adjustments. No company is permitted to operate
through our office who would in any wuy take advantage
of one of our clients. Our record sustains us
in our claim that no insurance agency can render better
service than that furnished our customers.

New Farming System
Needed in The South
Atlanta, Ga., August 11.?A new
system of agriculture, based on the
general adoption of mixed farming,
more attention to soil conservation,
and development of timber resources
through protection from forest fires,
is needed in Georgia and other states
of the South, if they are to make the
most of their agricultural opportunities,
Roland Turner, general agricultural
agent of the Southern Railway
System declared in an address before
the 82nd annual meeting of the Georgia
State Agricultural .Society at
Macon.
Mixed farming, according to Mr.
Turner, should emlbrace the production
of staple crops, with dairying,
poultry, hog and sheep raising as side
lines to yield a cash income throughout
the year.
Soil conservation which is an a/b~
solute essential for successful farming
was declared most easily attainable
as a by-product of mixed farming.
Mr. Turner stated as an axiom
that no crop can l>o produced at a
profit on poor, worn out, washed
lands.
The agricultural wealth of all the
Southern States can be greatly increased
by the prevention of tires
which destroy young trees and retard
the growth of older stock, said Mr.
Turner, who added that farmers are
just beginning to realize the value
of their woodlands.
Attention to these three features
throughout the South, Mr. Turner
said, will to a very large degree, solve
the agricultural problem.

Progress Killing
Seminole Indians
Tainan, Ha.?Slowly the program
of fno'iern development has putthad
the Seminole Indiana far into the Everglad*
s, to pursue their fishing,
hunting and beadcraft.
Tin .-trength of the once proud nation
i.us dwindled through diaeaao
and deprivation.
The if. liana need horses, sanitation,
ine,di<ul attention and education, but
the older Indians have little eonftdertee
.n the white man or anything
of his creation,
Jos.e Billy, chief of the largcat of
the -even tribes in the Glades, and a
grand "n of the famous Billy Bowlegs.
reasons that the hope of his
tiiix- adaptaibility of the new standi!
r<i.- mat have circumscribed it.
Me iias adopted some of the hatbita
winch are looked on with abhorrence
by the more conservative Indians. He
reads and writes. He has traveled,
and he beHeves schools do more than
anything else for his people. Th4
younger Seminoles under his leadership
are gradually becoming more
tolerant of civilized habits.
Josie Billy is a marked contrast to
his father, Billy Conopatchee. Conopatchee
was educated by Capt. F, A.
Hendry, yet wthen he returned to the
Everglades his hostility to the white
man and the white man's customs hud
increased.
H. A. Hendry, nephew of Captain
Hendry, is a life-long friend of Josie
Billy and agrees that the chieftain's
plans are wise.
"The federal government has push,
ed the Indians as far as they can go
and has never taken care of them as
it should." .Hendry says. "Appropriations
have been made but they have
been inadequate. With a pittanc#
from the government the Seminoles
have to work for an income, and
that's a difficult task in the Everglades.
They depend on an income
from alligator skins and other pelts,
but extinction of these species threatens
to curtail that."
Disease has taken a heavy toll
among the Indians, and Hendry believes
they will continue to ravish the
people of the Everglades until they
can be taught sanitation, provided
with homes and given medical attention.
At present there is not a practicing
physician available to the Indians.
The ordinary household is equipped
with a single pot in which all th'*r
cooking is done, one wooden spoon,
and three or four blankets. The
house itself consists of four upright
poles which support a palmetto
thatch. There are no walls nor floors
and the Indians sleep on the ground
throughout the rainy seasons.
Josie Billy does believe the Seminoles
will accept a reservation from
the < government. One has been
provided, but only four families remain
on it. The land is poor.
The Seminoles, according to Hendry.
are the most virtuous people on
earth and the most loyal to their own'
race. They were the last Indians in
the United States to recognize the
government.
Until about six months ago they
lived without interference of any outd
side agency. When Charley Tiger
Trali was tried for killing Chief Billy
Conopatchee government authorities
sought to bring him into court. Tho
Indians, resisting this effort, tried
him in their own fashion and executed
him before officers could tiiNe
him into custody.
During the tropical storm which
swept Florida in 1926 none of the
Seminoles were killed and few were
injured. The explanation was simple
to their own primitive tribesmen.
"Saw grass bloomed," they said.
When they saw that they went deep
into the forests to wait until after
the storm.

The boy had run away with the
show, the parents were told. Hut he
warned a job us an acrobat or a clown
right away. That being impossible,
I.eroy was olfered a place as "ass'anl
chambermaid" for the elephants
and camels. That or nothing.
He took the job but stayed only
a few days, then left, intimating he
would join some circus "that would
give a fellow a chance."
Week after week the Birminghums
made inquires from all the circuses
they could get in touch with. But
I.eroy could not be found. Winter
came without word from him. The
next summer the parents again tried
all the circuses they could reach, but
with no better results.
One year after another passed
without word of any kind from the
boy. The other evening the parents
were watching a movie. Mrs. Birmingham
suddenly clutched her husband's
arm as she saw a thin, boyish
figure walk into one of the scenes
of the picture.'
"That's Leroy," she gasped, "I'd
know him anywhere."
Her husbund wasn't so sure. The
name of the young player appeared
in the cast as "Allan Whitney." Mrs.
[ Birmingham was just as positive as
i before that it was her boy.
The parents communicated with the
\ew York office of the producing
company which in turn made inquires
at the studio where the picture was
produced. A few days later came this
telegram.
"Allan Whitney is your long lost
son, Leroy."
This was followed by a letter from
Leroy himself. Like the prodigal son
of old he was anxious to come home
again although he had finally made-a '
-uccess in the movies. For four '
years he had been a nameless mem- '
her of the movie mobs, living a hand- 1
to-mouth existence. Then the direc
tor took a chance one day and picked ;
him out of the mob for an important
role. That is the picture in which his 1
parents saw him and he is now in
