PAY PENSION
Tifton, Ga.—Georgia’s Confeder

Federal funds, they said, should

widows included in recent extension
of qualifications.
They asked an increase in their
pensions from S3O to SSO a month,

tain a separate state department to
deal with affairs of the Confederate
soldiers.
The veterans voted to accept an
invitation to reunion next year at
Gettysburg with the Grand Army of

allowed to carry the Stars and Bars.
The Union veterans, at a recent
convention, voted that “such reunion
have in view only the flag of the

BRIEF NEWS ITEMS
To Finish Grant'* Tombj Work
Stopped 40 Year*
New York.—They’re finally going
to put the finishing touches on
Grant’s Tomb.
For forty years—since work was
suspended “temporarily” in June,
1897—the huge domed sacophagus
looming over Riverside Drive has
been the mecca of tourists and ad
mirers of the former President.
During those four decades, the
tomb has lacked the landscaping and
surface carving envisioned in the
original design to soften the effect
of the severe, classic structure.

Florida I* Harvesting Largest
Orange Crop
Washington.—Florida,, which had
a bumper grapefruit crop last year,
was reported picking its largest
orange crop in history this season.
The crop reporting board placed
the state’s orange crop at 24,000,000
boxes, exceeding last year’s record
by 1,500,000.
Grapefruit production in all states
this year will be 25,455,000 boxes
compared with 30,281,000 a year
ago, it was predicted. Florida’s
indicated grapefruit production was
13,000,000 boxes.
Arrival of Triplets Too Much For
Father
New York.— Thomas Kelly, a
motorman and expectant father,
dashed into the Lenox Hill Hospital.
“What is it?” asked the first nurse
he met. i
“Triplets,” she smiled.
“Wow,” shouted Kelly. He col
lapsed into the nearest chair.
The infants, two girls and boy,
weighed a total of 16 pounds. They
were the first triplets born in the
hospital since it was founded in
1863.

Experiment Station Is Making 23
Kinds of Muscadine Wine
Griffin, Ga.—The Georgia Experi
ment Station is experimenting with
23 varieties of muscadine grapes to
determine their wine-making quali
ties.
The experiments began with 56
varieties in the station’s breeding
vineyard, but 23 varieties were dis
carded and 11 placed on the doubt
ful list.
The report states the discarded
varieties were eliminated because of
low sugar content, low yields and
susceptibility to dry rot.
At six months the wine was an
alyzed for percentages of alcohol,
sugar, total and volatile acids, and
tannin. This will be followed by
further aging with a two-year mini
mum, the report states.

YOU RELIEF
IN MINUTES
The Reason
BAYER ASPIRIN WORKS SO FAST
Drop a Bayer Aspirin tablet into a tum
bler of water.
By the time it hits the bottom of the
glass it is disintegrating.
This speed of disintegration enables
genuine BAYER Aspirin tablets to start
"taking hold" of headache and simi
lar pain a few minutes after taking.
YOU can pay as high as you
want for remedies claimed to
relieve the pain of Headache,
Rheumatism, Neuritis, Sciatica,
etc. But the medicine so many
doctors generally approve the
one used by thousands of families
daily is Bayer Aspirin 15* a
dozen tablets — about 1* apiece.
Simply take 2 Bayer Aspirin
tablets with a half glass of water.
Repeat, if necessary, according to
directions.
Usually this will ease such pain
in a remarkably short time.
For quick relief from such pain
which exhausts you and keeps
you awake at night ask for
genuine Bayer Aspirin.

Put a few pieces of charcoal into

Sells Quail to North Carolina
(From Lavonia Times)
Mr. A. B. Vickery of Lavonia,
who has been raising quail for two
years, sold this week a flock of
seventy quail to a party in Charlotte,
N. C. This is the largest sale of
birds Mr. Vickery has had since he
began the business. He has sold
this year a lot to a party in Wash
ington, Pennsylvania, a lot to a
party in Atlanta and a lot to a party
near Lavonia. Mr. Vickery became
interested in this work some time
ago. He finds the work interesting
and also finds that quail require a
lot of attention to raise in coops.
The first hazard is in hatching. They
are hatched in incubators. The next
hazard is the mortality rate. But he
has done well in the business despite
the hazards. Quail raised in this
manner will become rather tame but
not like chickens. They will come
near you and some will eat from
your hands but they do not like to
be handled. The wild instinct con
tinues despite the domestic atmos
phere.
Rat Bed In Irish Potato
(From Hartwell Sun)
The Sun’s freak department (and
don’t be so unkind as to say it ought
to inclu4e the editors) got a-hold of
one entry last week-end that we
didn’t relish so much. Lee A. Fort
son came down with a mammoth
Irish potato he found hidden away
in his grocery store that had been
eaten out and made into a nice,
warm bed by a man rat who pro
ceeded to propagate—or, in other
words, to rear a splendid family.
And Bro. Fortson brought the potato
down to prove it, full of little rats
that had not yet opened their eyes to
the glamor of the world.
More Frills And Furbelows Should
Be Added
(From Moultrie Observer)
We had “public schools” with a
weak state subsidy for a time. But
the public school was just a teaser
to induce the patrons to put out
money for tuition, for books, for
school taxes and for box suppers.
Now we have the free schools. All
the money you want, all the books
you want, all the school buses you
want, and terms of as many months
as you like. How things have been
coming to pass. There is always
something that can be done. Free
lunches have not been provided.
There are no cushions for the seats.
If we had to go to school again, this
would be one fly in the ointment.
There will be equipment needed for
the playgrounds, and swimming
pools will have to be put in. They
may introduce showers and thereby
reduce the amount of home work. A
radio will be needed and moving
pictures will have to be installed.
