Mrs. W. C. Martin, Community Building. The era of South, Works Out New Ideas Written Specially for The Leader By ROBERT FULLER Autocaster Service DALLAS, Tex., Apr. 12th—Two years ago Cave Springs was but a post office set in the pine forests of the Sabine Bottoms of East Texas. A narrow, deep-rutted road wandered gimlessly up to it. Occasionally the road paused at a stumpy clearing surrounding a squalid negro cabin. A scraggly crop of peanuts and garden truck marked the industry of the place. That was two years ago. Today a dozen modern bungalows face a sixty-foot graded road, and behind each bungalow lies 3 productive 100-acre farm. Here in the Sabine Bottom is the largest community farm in America. It was Mrs. W. C. Martin who brought about the transformation. “Community Builder of the South” is what they call her down there. Certainly her work in developing the Sabine Bottom community and other communities since then has earned that title for her. Woman First Ran Her Big Ranch Successfully Mrs. Martin is no impratical dreamer. She is a farmer. She personally ran a 6,000 acre ranch in Boque County, Texas, to such good effect that in three years it paid a profit of $38,000. Four Years ago the community farm plan developed in her mind. For two years it was just a jasper plan. Then came the opportunity to put it into effect on a 1200 acre tract in the Sabine Bottom. First of all the land was laid out in 100-acre tracts. A sixty-foot graded road was run through the center. On each side of this road six 6-room bungalows were built. Not plain square box buildings are these, but attractive modern houses with porches, fireplaces, window sedts and cozy corners. Back of the long front Porch are four large rooms. A central chimney makes possible a fireplace in each of these rooms. The kitchens and a sleeping room are back of these rooms. Careful planning is evidenced by the covered well on the back porch, the trough leading from it to the barn, the bluegrass in the yard, and the chicken tight fence. Model Bungalows Part Of Community Projects Each house is set on a square acre. And each house is within easy hauling distance of its neighbor. The whole scheme is knit together by several community projects. There is a community house, with reading tables, books, soft and shaded lights. Back of the community house is a community laundry, and nearby is a community cannery, a blacksmith shop and a garage. The purchase of 3 large cream separator is the latest community enterprise. Most of the tenants are buying their farms on a long-term payment plan. In so doing they have a new incentive for pushing developments, and at the same time the land-owner is insured 8 percent on his investment. The success of the plan has given Mrs. Martin a vision of all rural America made over into a great community farm—the dwelling place of prosperity and happiness. She has been made chairman of the Home and Community Development of the American Farm Furegu Federation and through this department will build her vision into a reality.

Time To Get Busy; Prosperity On Way Atlanta Realtor Makes Survey of Business Conditions; Industrial Movement in Georgia Attracts Great Attention ATLANTA, Ga.,—“Now’s the time for everybody to put his shoulder to the wheel and push together for prosperity,” says Ben R. Padgett, general manager of the Rogers Realty and Trust Company of Atlanta, whose firm is taking unusual interest in the movement inaugurated here recently to bring new industries to Georgia and the South. “The optimism now reigning in business circles”, says Mr. Padgett, “has a very real foundation and is not temporary stimulus.” Mr. Padgett, in his capacity as a real estate man, has made an exhaustive study of business and agricultural conditions in Georgia as well as throughout the country. In constant telegraph with both farmers and business men, he is in a position to talk very comprehendingly of the present situation. Higher wages, higher prices for cotton, immense agricultural activity, and interest, money in circulation—more than since the days of inflation, all these, says Mr. Padgett, “spell but one thing that prosperity is coming to Georgia swiftly and surely and it is coming to stay a while. “Now is the time for everybody to get busy.” and stay busy,” says Mr. Padgett. “The optimism that is with us now is not of the sort that is based on economic issues that cannot be dodged. But one can not sit idly by pass up the opportunities: It’s time for all of us to push and push harder than ever before. “Omney is easier now than since inflation days. Turn it loose! Meet obligations and assume those you need to assume. But don’t depend on the other fellow to bring things to your door. Get and get it yourself.” “But”, warns Mr. Padgett, “one must not allow mere enthusiasm to carry one too far. A great many people do allow themselves to be carried too fast on the wave of optimism. What is needed is clear-headed thinking, foresight, and a bit of daring. To these must be coupled the real energy of hard work and then the issue is never in doubt.” According to Mr. Padgett, Georgia lands, particularly farming property is attracting attention as never before in the north and east and with the big movement under way to bring new industries to the State, farm land values are showing unusual gains.

DIXON Chief of Police THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 12th, 1923. BRYAN DECLARES U. S. MUST LEAD THE WAY MIAMI, Fla.—William Jennings Bryan addressed an appeal for world peace to an audience of several thousand persons here Sunday afternoon, and declared that “the United States must lead the way”. The United States, he asserted, is the only nation which can achieve a leadership toward lasting peace, because no other nation has the right to defend itself. Confidence of the world. Mr. Bryan emphasized what he termed the need for a "machine strong enough to take hold of our government and regardless of the party in control voice the desire of a nation’s millions for permanent peace. “The spirit and desire for peace, Lervades the world”, said M. Bryan, “but it can't express itself. For this expression, it needs an all-powerful machine.” He suggested that that machine be a league of nations or any league that would arbitrate and iron out arising difficulties. The United States is the only nation whose voice is listened to without an ulterior motive. The nations of the world need us and the United States cannot withhold her influence. Other nations must concede our disinterestedness and the voice of the United States must spread the gospel of peace to the world and the league of nations is the hope of the world for universal peace. Preparedness for war is no curative of war and we must do away with navies and armies. I would like to see President Harding call another conference on disarmament and inform the representatives gathered at it that the United States will further reduce not only its navy, but its army—and then some as much as any other nation of the world. The same spirit that uses the navies on the sea in war, will use armies on land. Scrapping one's navy doesn’t eliminate the danger of another war. The world now knows that there is no hope for it, without abolition of war and we can not abolish war and prepare for it too.” A Near Guess. “I'm improving in drawing, mother,” said the little girl. “Are you, dear?

Right Back at Him A very economical man in Iowa wrote to a manufacturer of a patent medicine which sold for one dollar. He said: Please send me a bottle of your nerve medicine, for which I enclose one dollar. P. S.—I have forgotten to enclose the dollar, but no doubt a firm of your standing will send it anyhow. He received this reply: We beg to acknowledge your excellent order and have the pleasure of sending you a box of your nerve medicine. Send you a bottle of our nerve tonic — which we trust will help you. P. S—We have forgotten to send the medicine, but no doubt a fellow with your nerve does not need it. LESSONS IN ETIQUETTE?
