EASY TO DESTROY MOSQUITOES
The cources uf‘mnyquhn nuisances
shisnld be determined as the firt step
m the hattle against (hem. We can
{ind where they are. By making an
itapection of each locality that is pes
tered by mosquitoes, breed.ng placoes
can be found. In zome instances na
turé has provided natural brecding
places for them; in the absence of
naturgl “enemies they will multiply
rapidly.
It is common for the public to thick
that the larger the body of water oi
swampy area, the more mosquitoes

to develop there; while isolated pools,
close to a pond, which contains no

numbers of them. 1t is 2usy (o learn

It is not gifficult to find and ex

‘x‘rom such a survey how much drain

WHY NO FISHING
In urging every county in the state
‘o adopt the law prohibiting fishing
during the spawring season, Superin:
‘endent Bulloch, of the government
hatchery at Warm Springs says:
“Kvery time a bass cr a bream is
inken from o bed during the spawning
eason, it means that from 500 to 1,
000 fish have been destroyed. The fish
are never at a bed except when theie
e eges thers, or newly hatched £2OO,
il the eggs have not been hatched,
hey are destroyed with the figh, and
{ they have just hatched the fish is
here to keep up a continnous motion
0 prevent sediment ur?llin;{ over
them. In either case the logs of the
old fish means the deztruction of the,
soung ones,” :
| These are the reasons for making
Jin effort to protect the fish. If the
law could be made siatewide and ful
1y observed, w'e might have good res
sults within a very short lime. But
the greatest good results might come
of war on the users of dynamite and
i,m!tmn. They know no law but to des
troy the fish. They are the real ene
‘;mh a of our fish supply.
" We would be glad to see the law

~ PLAY GROUND EQUIPMENT
i Any person who doubts the
wisdom of the improvements that
‘ have been made at the city park
~ chould spend a Sunday afternoon
- there. Hundreds of children vis
it the park to enjoy the play
ground equipment while therve lls
an ever inereasing ramber of mo
torists driving through thg park.
The playground vquipmm\} al
ready installed was kept busy -all
day Sunday, with numbers of
children waiting an opportunity
to use the swings. Now, if the
park commission can find the
means with which to put in a
wading pool, it will be that much
better.—Tifton Gazett2,
This 1s a testimonial that must
have impressed the people of Tifton.
Other towns than Cordele are all en
gaged in their #iforts to improve in
cortain ways, as we are engaged at it
in oy own way., We have many thines

all sides, and we cannot help feeling
good about that,
But we have never made a dime's
woerth ¢f preparation in playground
squipment for the little folks of this
community, Some things ¢mbarrass
us to present them in the newspaper.
This iz one of them. Let's whisper
it—there isn't a community half this

interest in their wholesome forms of
play? Is it because we are all tarm.

tions in the hard-headed belief that
children ought not to play—or il we
grant they should play, do we con
clude that they :=hzuld slip away to
muddy the creek or go dewn in the
railroad yards and snatch rides on (he

back and }nrth.' How many of them
play on that death trap elevator that
crushed the life out of the Nitle ne

there anyhedy disposed to know?
We need playground eqguipment for
