CHICKEN BUYS HIS FOOD
Mrs. J. G. Morrow of Hahira is
responsible for this story. She says
Mrs. Jack Folsome, two and a half
miles west of Hahira, called up her
chickens recently to feed them, and
one of her broilers held a dime in its
beak as it came running up. When
the feed was placed on the ground
the chicken put the dime at Mrs. Fol
som’s feet and began to eat. Truly,
this a grateful chicken.

The Mosquito And Its Germ
Carrying Bite
(By Dr. Morris Fishbein)
Early sojourners on the golf
courses in the northern part of our
country are already recognizing the
fact that a mosquito can be a nui
sance even if it does not carry a
disease.
The mosquito is the absolute proof
of Rudyard Kipling’s saying that
"the female of the species is more
deadly than the male.” The male
mosquito does not bite and, there
fore, does not irritate the human
being or carry diseases. The female
mosquito, however, is out for blood.
Incidentally, the mosquito does not
really bite, but actually saws her
way through the skin.
If you watch a mosquito as it
alights on the skin you will discover
that it begins to move back and
forth in order to cause the saw to
penetrate the skin. If she feeds
rapidly, she swells up, and if smack
ed, a spot of blood will appear on
the skin, indicating the amount of
blood that has been taken.
When the mosquito first inserts
the proboscis into the skin, she in
jects some saliva, which keeps the
blood from clotting; otherwise she
could not suck the blood out of the
skin.
There are mosquitoes in some
portions of the world which carry
malaria. They are obviously a men
ace to all of mankind, because ma
laria is a serious disease. Certain
portions of the world have been un
able to develop because of the pres
ence of large amounts of malaria.
It exists in many of our states, but
in others the malaria has been
stamped out, first of all by treating
patients with the disease, and, sec
ond, by eliminating the growth and
development of the mosquitoes
which carry malaria.
But malaria is not the only dis
ease for which the mosquito is re
sponsible. It has been said that
there is again danger that yellow
fever may come into the United
States, because there are residues of
yellow fever in the tropics. One of
the greatest contributions of Ameri
ca to modern medical science was
the discovery that the mosquito car
ries yellow fever. This discovery
was made by Dr. Walter Reed, of
the United States Medical Corps just
after the Spanish-American War.
For a while it was thought that
by eliminating the mosquitoes yel
low fever and malaria could be com
pletely eliminated from the world.
However, more recently it has been
found that in certain tropical areas
not only may human beings act as
reservoirs for infection, but that al
so some of the jungle animals, like
monkeys, may actually have yellow
fever and be a source of transmis
sion to human beings.
It is also known that dengue, or
breakbone fever, in which there is
pain in the bones and muscles, is
carried by the mosquito. Indeed
this insect is large enough to car
ry fairly large parasites as well as
smaller germs, and for that reason
continues to be a menace to man
kind.

Atlanta.—The “old army game”'
cost two out-of-town cantaloupe
dealers S9O at the Farmers’ Market

Dam Break Frees Million Catfish
Carrollton, Ga.—Deputy Sheriff H.
R. Lambert, of Carroll County, is the
loser of more than a million fish as
the result of a weak dam on his fish
pond five miles west of Carrollton.
After placing 10,000 speckled cat
fish in the pond three years ago, the
deputy estimates their multiplication
had brought the total to a million or
more.
The heavy rains of Sunday and
Monday broke the dam and the fislk
flowed through the opening.
The pond was restocked today
with about 50 pounds of the same
kind.
Pirate Gold? Plow Turn* 3 Bar*
Valued at $2,000
Washington, N. C.—Dallas Jor
dan, a negro, plowed up three bars
of gold on his farm near here and!
is en route to Washington, D. C-, to
convert them into cash.
It was estimated the gold was
worth $2,000. A similar bar of gold!
was found by a negro woman on an.
adjoining farm a few years ago.

gested the treasure was buried by
Black Beard, the pirate, who once
operated in this section, or by some
one in Civil War days who melted
down his valuables and cached them
under the ground.

Local Option Law
Atlanta.—The Georgia supreme
court upheld the state’s recently
enacted local option liquor act.
In a decision in which only Jus

ruled:
“All presumption being in favor
of the constitutionality of the act, it
cannot lawfully be set aside by the
courts unless the alleged conflict
with the constitution is plain and
palpable.”
Max Schmeling’* Back Fractured la

New York.—The scene shifted ab

to the seclusion of a white-walled
room where Germany’s Max Schmel— -
ing, victim ef the crushing fists of"
Joe Louis, lay with one small bon©'
in his back fractured and his hopes
of fistic conquest shattered.
Thus, melodramatically, did thcr
shortest, most one-sided fight ia
heavyweight championship history
develop into the “battle of tha
cracked rib,” climaxing the spec
tacular one-round knockout of the
challenger in pugilism’s latest mil*-
lion-dollar show.
