By HUGH ROWE ( THAT— Chorus “Always wear your rubbers,” The Savannah municipality be- lives in freedom and that restric tions on personal privileges should lot be carried too far.

I’ll marry you and teach you what My dear old mother said.” Chorus “Always wear your rubbers,” My mother said, and sho Most surely said a mouthful In those kind words to me. Oh. darling, hear the warning My mother wisely told, “Always wear youf rubbers And you will not catch cold!” j chief the “good old days” when every thing was wide open for those who desired to dissipate in liquids wheih are calculated to make mer ry when a sufficient amount ,is imbibed. The chief of police of that city, i it is announced in the newspa pers has decided to enforce the Volstead act, but before doing so he has issued au order to the mem bers of the police force to notify all who are engaged in selling li quor to discontinue at once, or else they will be pulled. New that is liberality on the part, of the chief of police which should be appre dated by the offenders of the law. We do not believe that there is such another good fellow as that chief in the United States article further states that it is THAT— The action of Chairman Beach- am and the other members of the police commission in reviving the activities of the police department In the enforcement of tha traffic ordinances will be welcomed and endorsed by the whole people of the community. The recent slack in the enforcement of the traffic ordinances has been n source of much comment from the people, but now that the commission has given absolute orders to the police department to keep up the work continually, the public will have a more satisfactory feeling tvf pro tection. The practice of enforcing* these ordinances for a few days at a time and then ignore altogether their enforcement brings on criti cism and just criticism. In order to protect life and property, the police force should be active in the discharge 6t their duties, in the .enforcement of traffic ordi nances, every hour of the day and in every way see to it that all vio lators have cases docketed against POULTRY BUSINESS OFFERS A CHANGE BY T. LARRY GANTT The recent meeting and* organ ization in Athens of the chicken raisers in our city and section has created great interest in that line of industry and it is extending dll over l;he, surrounding county. A gentleman from Oconee toIc{ me yestreday that you. now , Jieard nothing but chicken talk wh^n farmers meet in Watkinsville, arid it looks a? if everyone wae going into tha poultry, business to a greater or less extent. Several are arranging to embark in the business on quite a scale arid one party has ordered an incubator with a capacity of 5,000 eggs. He expects to raise the White Leghorn and sell day-old. chicks when he gets started. » This is a far more important matter than any would believe on Khsty thought. The chicken busi ness can be made to almost equal our cotton sales. This does not seem reasonable, but it is never theless true. And poultry and eggs are as standard an article of commerce as grain or cotton, for there is an unending and daily de mand for them. And a poultry farm is a constant and unending source of revenue, and the stream of cash that flows into the poul- tryman’s pocket continues at all seasons. And it does not cost much' cash to start a poultry farm, and it can be enlarged. There is not a farmer or venter in this section but can arrange to raise chickens and thus swell his income. Of course everyone now raises a few chickens, but f° r best results that busine3 must be gone into intelli gently and systematically. The first requisite is to secure the right strains of poultry, but these can be cheaply had by buy ing eggs and raising your own fowls. bird dog does a quail, and then makes a dart for that* chicken. When he sees a cord stretched be tween him and the chicken he goes back and tries again, with the same result. After several v atJ- tempts the hawk gives up and leaves your poultry yard alone. . I am glad to see our people taking such interest in the poultry business, and it can be made a new source of revenue for not only farmers but for townsmen.

He says if you let your fowls roam at large the Brown Leghorn is the best, for ♦ Iw... ^ v, they seeni hardier and do better. But if you keep them confined in pens he prefers the White Leg horn. He, has tested both kinds, and the whites, if kept in pens, will lay 1 - more eggs than the brown. The Anconas are a more delicate fowl and do not seem as wcU acclimated as the Leghorns. Mr. Moore says that to keep your fowls healthy and in condi tion they must be made to scratch for a living. So in feeding grains to his fowls he does not scatter it over the ground, but he keeps patches of land broken up around his poultry lot3 and with a cuta way harrow sows the grain every week and plows -it under. He says the chickens will find every grain and by scratching for their food ore kept vigorous and in fin*? condition. ' . ^ Mr. Moore says that great pains must bc't&ken in selecting hens whose eggs you will use to in crease your stock. He will select some twenty-five or more of his best layers and put them in coops where they are kept separate from all other fowls for some thirty days.
