Taft Taking Revenge on
Bull Moose Postmasters
AR |
Atlanta, Dec., 2—The axe has
fallen on the neck of one Bull‘
Moose already, in Georgia, and
is hovering over the heads of oth- ‘
er republican appointees who sup
ported Roosevelt.
James L. Sibley, postmaster at
Milledgeville, who was particu
larly outspoken in his admiration
and support of the colonel has
been removed from that office
and the post has been given to
Warren Edwards.
It is further reported that Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet, postmis
tress at Gainsvitle, has been rec
ommened for dismissal under the
charge of ‘‘pernmicious political
activity’’ and that when her pres
ent commission expires, Decem
ber, Tth, James B. Gaston will
suceed to the office.
Mrs. Longstreet was particu
larly interested and particularly
prominent in the Roosevelt cam
paign. She occupied a seat on
the stage at the Atlanta auditor
ium as a special guest of honor
at the Bull Moose Rally.
Mrs. Longstreet has already
claimed that she is being unfairly
dealt with, but leading Taft Re
publicans say that the
result is simply what any post
master or postmistress could log
ically expect after identifying
himself or herself so closely with
the movement tiat split the
party. .
Will Endeavor To
Live Better Life
In Order To Justify
Wife’'s Good Opinion
Gf Him.
Atlanta, Dec. 2.—After accom
panying her husband to jail, sitt
ing outside his cell door day after
day, holding his hands and kissing
him through the iron bars, the
girl wife of W. C. Smith, a con
victed violator of the prohibition
law, went out this morning and
succeeded in begging members of
their family to raise the necessary
money to keep the young man
from the chaingang.
Such constant love and devotion
- the police say they have never be
fore witnessed. If Smith had been‘
a martyr ‘to religion or duty the'
pretty young girl who recently
marcied him, could not have gazed
with more adoration as she con
templsted him day after day be
hind the bars,
" But her devotion didn’t stop at
kisses and contemplatien. When
Smith was finally sentenced to the
stockade, she went out and hustl
ed up the com to set him free.
Smith says that henceforth he is
goiag to try to live up to the good
opinion his wife has of him.
<*To have a woman stick to you
like that,” he savs, *‘is enough to
make any man brace himself up
and begin the fightall over again.”:
Dr. Bahnsen's
Dairy Statistics.
Some facts brought out by Dr,
Peter F, Bahnsen, State Veterina
rian, during his address at the
Fair Grounds, Fitzgerald. Georgia,
on Tuesday evening, November
26th., 1912,
A milk cow giving 7000 pounds
of milk per annum, which is equiv
alent to 860 gallons of milk or an
aversge of about 2} gallons per
day for 365 d'vs, will make for
her owner a gross income of $215
if milk is selling at 25 cents per
gallon; $258.00 at 30 cents per
gallon; $301,00 at 35 cents per
gallon and $344.00 at 40 cents per
gallon. Making an allowance of
$72.00 per year, $6.00 per month,
for feed, such a cow would net the
owner at 25 cents per gallen for
milk $143.00; at 30 cents per gal
lon $188.00; at 35 cents per gallon
$229.00; at 40 cents per gallon
$272.00.
Ten such cattle, which could
easily be attended to by one man,
would net the owner at prices
‘named respectively $1430, $lBBO,
$2290 and $2720 and while in this
business, his farm will increase in
productiveness from dayg to day.
Let us for a moment see what
the results would be if he kept
cattle which only produce 3000
pounds of milk per annum, which
is approximateély 370 gallons. At
25 cents this would bring $92.50
and at 30 cunts per gallon $lll.OO
at 35 cents $129.50 and at 40 cents
$148.00. The cost of keeping such
a cow would be but httle, if any
less; the amount of labor would
be the same, so we will figure on
these cattle the same cost of kecp
ing and feeding, $72.00 per annum.
At such figures, each cow nets at
25 cents per gallon of milk $20.50
per year; at 30 cents $39.00; at 35
cents $47.50 and at 40 cents $76.00.
Can you affora to own a cow
that only produces 3000 pounds of
milk per annum?
Mr. Leslie Bryant, of Mass.,
has arrived in the city to spend
the winter with his parents, Mr,
and Mrs. Bryant, on North Lee
street,
Hobson’s Choice.
An eastern man who was on & busi
‘-ncu_trlp through the west stopped at
'the small hote!l in a country town one
‘day. He entered the dining room and
was shown to a table by a waiter.
“Will you have some pork and beans,
sir?" asked the waiter as he brought
the customary glass of water.
“No. | don’t care for them,” answer
ed the man. *1 never eat pork and
beans.” X
“Dinner is over. then, sir,” said the
waiter as he moved away.—Youth's

Motion Pictures Show
Panama Canal
Work
Washington, Nov. 29.—Presi

in the first production of nine
rolls o f moviog picture films
showing the progress of work on
the Panam~ycanal, which he has

trips of inspection. The produc
tion yesterday will be repeated
today under the direction of the

Japan’s Pancake Women.
One of the familiar sights on the
streets of a Japanese town is the pan
cake woman, who, with her little bra
zier of coals and her tiny frying pan, is
ustially found on a corner not far from
a school. She has a bowl full of deli
cious batter, a ladle and a cake turner,
and there is apt to be a hungry crowd
around her little stund as soon as
school is out, for not many of the chil
dren are able to resist the smell of the {
crisp pancakes, at least if they have|
any money. For a very small coin a
child may fry and turo his own cakes, l
and bappy is the one who has a num
ber of coins in his little kimono sleeve |
and can fry aud eat to his heart's con- l
tent, !
