VOL. XXXII. FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 7,1921. NUMBER 12. ALLOWANCE For High School Transportation. A matter of great interest to high school pupils of the county is the latest order of the board of education in allowing pupils attending the -eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades in the county high school a per diem of 15 cents for transporta tion. Realizing that the benefits of high, school education have not bden heretofore equally attainable by itown .and rural pupils alike, the board has endeavored to make up in some part for this inequality by helping those who do not reside near enough to the high school to reach it. The al lowance applies only to pupils living outside the Fayetteville district 'and to high school pupils. It is in effect from the first of September. With this allowance it will be quite easy for five or six pupils who live at some distance from town, to club • together and arrange for one of their number to bring the others in a Ford or otlie’- vehicle, the total of the al lowances going to pay the one fur nishing the transportation for the ex pens 's pantile car. There We already many pupils who are taking advantage of this op portunity to attend high school. Ther arc probably fifty ,or more jin the county at this time who would find it profitable to make some such ar rangement. Talk with the county superintendent of schools about it. LAW MUST BE UPHELD Says Judge W. E. H. Searcy. - SCHOOL'INSTITUTES AT HOME Instead of the usual two to five day institutes that have been held in the spring heretofore, it is planned that there shall he a series of One Day In stitutes in different parts of the coun ty, to which all the people of the nearby territory are invited and urged, followed by two days of technical and business affairs in the court house at Fayetteville. The first meeting will he at the Wpolsey school house on the morning of Monday, October 24th. The people of the nearby districts are expected. The schools of Inman, Mount Springs, Dowry, Longino\ Brooks, Mitchell Hill, and Little Flock will close on this day and the teachers will be expected to attend as required in the section of the code referring to Institute work.

On Thursday, the Fay etteville, Hopeful, Robinson |uid neigh boring districts will meet at Kenwood. All sessions will begin promptly at a'me o’clock. The last two days of the week the teachers only will be expected to at tend the session at Fayetteville, in which business and professional mat ters only will be discussed. Although the people are perfectly welcome. The public is especially urged to attend as much of the time as possible at the other sessions the first four days of the week. Citizens are to be protected in Fay ette county says Judge Searcy, and the whisky business must go from our midst. Boot-leggers and blockaders, will get no mercy from the court. Chain gang sentences to be imposed in the future and straw bonds to be eliminated, bonds given in the future w ill have to be as good as currency. Law offenders who failed to get their cases through the last term of court will face new conditions at the next term of Fayette’s superior court. There will be no whiskey sympath izers in the jury box in the future, in their place will be able men who value law and their oath.

Preyo Hightower, rape, six months in the gang or $40. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The nverage novice can reasonably expect to get an average of at least: ten dozen eggs per hen u year from his small Hock in the back yard, say poul try specialists of the United Stutes De partment of Agriculture. On the basis of two hens to euch member of the family this will give 20 dozen eggs a year to euch person, which amount is about half way between the general average of farm and city consumption. |No back-yard poultry keeper should be satisfied with less than this. He should try, however, to get as much more as possible. To provide an egg a day for each person two hens would huve to lay 183 eggs each a year. This is by no .means an Impossible average for small Hocks. It is perhaps not too much to A Common Mongrel Back Yard Flock say that in case, where the person at tending the llock is in a position tc look after the wants of the birds three or more times a day an average of better than thirteen dozen eggs per hen can be secured i f t he hens are ma ture and in good condition at the start, and have the vitality to carry them through a year of heavy laying. For the farm the average of 100 eggs per hen is advised as the lowest that should be accepted as satisfactory, while for the back yard 120 Is insisted upon ns the lowest average, although in general the conditions in back yards are less favorable to poultry keeping than on farms. ’ WHY CULLING IS PROFITABLE IN THE OTHER FELLOW'S SHOES Unculled Flock of 992 Hens Laid 3,576 Eggs in Week and 3,520 With 79 Taken Out. Jug Of Home Brew Held As Evidence Norfolk, Va.—“Bang!” The decorous stillness of police court was (shattered by a resounding crash. Everyone, in cluding the judge, arose in the air six inches. Then there was a 'startled look around. No murdered body pjiy upon the floor. Instead a gallon jug of home brew foamed and sputtered behind the justice, who was trying a Mapp act case at the time. The heat had been too much for the malt. “On with the case,” said the judge. “The evidence has spoken for itself,” as a reminiscent smell pervaded the room. It is a good plan once in a. while to "try on the other fellow’s shoes,” so as to see how they fit. If they pinch you the s&me as they do him, or worse, then you will have a bit .more sympathy for him. It is easy enough for you, perhaps, to stand up and talk before the class, but how about, that bashful fellow over there in the corner who grows as red as a beet if you so much as look at him? Don’t tell such a boy that he is not interested in the class. Put yourself in his shoes. There is a fellow whose folks are poor; his clothes are threadbare and faded. Put yourself in his shoes. Wouldn't you like to have the fellows crowd around you and give you the “glad hand,” absolutely blind to those unsightly garments? You just bet you would. You wouldn’t want one of the fellows to come up to you and tell you that he had a suit at home which would just fit you. No sir-ee! But wouldn’t it please you if that same fellow would tell you about a job where you could earn a few dollars? An uncalled flock of fi92 hens lain 3,570 eggs in the week before being culled, i Seventy-nine weak layers were cast out. The culled flock of 913 came right back the next week with n rec ord of 3,520 eggs, while the 79 culls, living under precisely similar condi tions. and doing their very best, were laying only 85 eggs. The market lvalue of the eggs layed by .'he culls was around $3.50. The cost of feed alone for them at a cent a day for. 'each hen was $5.53 for the week. Fig ures like these, say the poultry special ists at the university farm, show the importance of keeping only the best layers. Lessons driven home in the farm bureau’s and extension division's campaign for frequent culling of flocks should put/thousands of dollars in the pockets of poultry raisers. Keep lime always in reach, plenty of gravel or grit and a good dry dust Put your self in the other fellow’s ! bath for the fowls, shoes and see if kind words help any. Bells To Toll For Bishop’s Funeral Nashville, Tenn.—The bell of every Southern Methodist church within the confines of the denomination in this and other lands will toll a requiem for Bishop Walter R. .Lambuth, the great missionary leader, at the time of his funeral in Shanghai, if plans set on foot by the Southern Methodist board of missions can be successfully carried out. Bishop Lambuth died in a hospi tal in Yokohoma, being in the Orient to fttold the annual conferences in Sibe ria, Japan, Korea and China. His burial will be held in Shanghai, the place of Us birth. The board of missions has cabled to inquire the funeral date. If you see the other fellow likes you and wants to help you, doesn’t this make you l'eel that he’s your friend. “Try on the other fellow’s shoes!” LIVE WIRE. Give the growing stock nil they want to eat. They won't pay unless they grow, and they can’t grow unless! well fed. The turf formed by a pasture land of native grasses makes an ideal grass run for all kinds of poultry, old and young.

HELPS FOR OUR TOWN Let Pride Begin At Home. We all take pride in our country be cause it is a great country—the great est of them all. But what constitutes this country? The forests, and the fields, and the mountains and the valleys, and the prairies, and the lakes, and the rivers, and the hamlets, and the villages, and the towms, and the cities, and all of the human and other life that exists therein and thereon. This town is a part of this country, and our pride of country should extend to the community in which we live. Our individual homes are a part of this town, and our pride of country and town should begin with the homes in which we live. ; If we make them as near perfection as our resources will permit, then the town and the state and the country Reflects the warmtlf and the glory of bur firesides. We look at the big cities and marvel at their immensity—at their wealth, And their enterprise, and their growth. I But do w'e remember that before Ihese cities became great they were Jmall, even as we are? Their citizens saw the opportunities that were before them, and were quick to grasp them. Pride in their improvements impelled them to press tion and commerce which are known ' all over the civilized world. And the root of it all was pride. | Fe\y things are impossible to a peo- THE COMING CIRCUS n) „ -i, * - , | Sparks World Famous Shows are Rnf i -ith W n t0 accom b ,! sh. j billed to exhibit at Griffin, Saturday. , V j ' )U e -,' V1 t0 perforrn no I October 15th, and from the newspaper beginnings S8 C ° me fr ° m 1,ttle I reports preceding them their extaibi- i of •, 4 , , ., tion will be worth going many miles Let us consider the failure of this to witness Jr, le V" beSin With pricIe in i 0f the many features carried by the ’ “j 11 . e -cements we i show this season, some of the Animal TnZ ID : „ • I Acts a ™ without doubt the most won- , ‘ '' e are braaI1 > but there is . derful anc } thrilling ever presented to ji ’ . . omonpw and tom orrow is j an American audience.
