Arnold Opposes License
Sale by Game Officials
Atlanta, Ga.
State Auditor Zach Arnold Satur
day recommended to Governor Riv
ers that came protectors of the wild
life division not be allowed to handle
licenses or collect money “as the
practice over a period of years has
proved unprofitable.”
In an audit of the Department of
'Natural Resources, Auditor Arncld
reported records show deputies in
the wild-life division “very delin
quent in accounting for licenses.
The deputies are reported as not
bonded.
Reporting on licenses not aecount
tion, Auditor Arnold said:
“There are so many of these I
recommend that, since it is too ex
pensive to furnish bond- for agents,
at least the credit standing be in
vestigated before placing licenses
and a full understanding be had
with agents desiring to sell licenses
that they would ha\e to return un
sold licenses at the end of the season
or pay for them.”
He reported a deficfl of $36,134 in
the wild-life division, an increase of
$2,000 in the period.
Kach unit of the department has
a surplus for future operations ex
cept the wild-life division, Mr. Ar
nold reported.
POLICE WILL SMASH
■WATCH CAR’ RACKET
news for football
fans who drive to Atlanta and park
their cars near Grant Field—
To break up a growing “car-;
watching racket” around Grant
Field, which operates during foot
ball. games, Atlanta Police Chief M.
A. Hornsby has ordered plainclothes
detectives to patrol the area at every
game throughout the remainder of
the season.
The chief’s action came after he
received a letter signed by N. W.
Riley, complaining that “young
shakedown artists” offered to watch
his car during the Tech-Auburn
game. Riley said he refused and
after the game vras over he dis
covered that a window of hi,s car
had been broken and articles left in
the car stolen.
Riley said the “young shakedown
artists” threaten drivers that “a hub
cap might be missing from your car
if you don’t pay us to watch it.”
Hornsby thanked Riley for his let
ter and asserted the police depart
ment “will stop this racket.”
THOSE CRAZY HATS
Judge Henry Revill, editor of the
Meriwether Vindicator, comments on
the latest feminine head covering as
follows:
“I saw' a hat the other day. There
was a (fill under it. She was pretty,
but couldn’t make the hat becoming.
It was fearfully and wonderfully
made in shape. It rs difficult to con
ceive how the human mind could
have fashioned it. The brim was in
hemidemisemi quaver. When the
hat part started up, it climbed like a
bell, and at the top it was slauchin
dicular. It twisted and squirmed un
til the only way 1 know to express
it is to say it was ‘Hell-west-and
crooked!’ How a good-looking wo
man could pick such a hat, or any
sort of a woman with eyes could
have selected it, is more than I can
understand. Just* another evidence
that a woman will wear anything
that style creates."

Too Much Complaining
(From Jackson Progress-Argus)
There is entirely too much com
plaining going on. It is the sort of
thing thnt soon gets to be a habit
and it is a destructive habit that
tears down rather than builds up.
All th’nking people realize that con
ditions tire not as good as expected.
But even at that there is much for
which to he thankful.
The year is drawing to a close
and thi- section has had no major
disaster, destructive storm or ca
lamity. Incomes from short crops
are being aided by a generous gov
ernment in subsidy checks and soil
conservation payments. These pay
ments amount to as much or more
than the income from crops. Added
to this the government is making it
possible for farm families to get
seasonal employment during the fall
and winter. Nothing like that ever
happened before. In 1921, there
was nothing to break the shock.
Farmers fell the entire distance
without a buffer to help them.
The price of cotton is low, but it
must be remembered the world sup
ply of cotton is larger than ever be
fore. No sort of a farm program
will result in high cotton prices until
some of the surplus is out of the
way. It is a good time to be plan
ning and building for the future—
for a large scale soil enrichment pro
gram. Bankrupt land, of which
Georgia has a large share, means
bankrupt farmers. Rich land means
rich people.
So counting our blessings, let’s all
resolve to complain less and look
more on the bright side of things.
Let us resolve to consolidate and
hold our gains and then press for
ward at the first favorable oppor
tunity.

GOD’S WAY
Slowly the ages wheel their way,
Slowly their course is run;
But hour on hour, and day on day,
As steps grow halt, and heads grow
Kray,
With rise and set of sun,
The race keeps on its upward climb
To better things. God takes his
time.
Our struggle is not in vhin. The
years
Pass in their ceaseless flight.
But in the east the vision nears,
And on the crest of dawn appears
The kingdom’s perfect light.
God takes his time, as ages tell,
But in his time he doeth well.

SAFETY RECORD SET
DURING SIX MONTHS
BY U. S. RAILROADS
The best general safety record
ever established by the railroads of
the United States during a six-month
period occurred in the first half of
1938, according to statistics of the
Bureau of Railway Economics of
the Association of American Rail
roads, just made public by Atlanta
railroad executives.
The number of train accidents on
the railroads during the first six
months of 1938 was 41 per cent
less than in the corresponding period
last year, the records show. Taking
casualties for all classes of persons
—passengers, employes, persons at
highway-railroads grade crossings
and trespassers—the number of
fatalities in the first half of 1938,
compared with the same period last,
year, was reduced by 440, or 17.6
per cent, and the number of non
fatal injuries was reduced by 5,211
or 28.6 per cent .

HALLOWEEN PRANKSTERS ARE
SHOT BY MISTAKE
Chicago.—An alarmed household

Halloween, fired several shots at a
group of young men who were tear

night. Two were wounded, one so
seriously he is expected to die.
SNAKE AND TOMCAT
BATTLE TO DEATH
Hawkinsville.—A dead rattlesnake
and a dead tomcat, side by side, bore
mute evfdence of a terrific struggle
not long ago, said A. M. Trice, farm
er near Hawkinsville. He told of
the find of the animal and the reptile
by a Negro near Fountain’s mill
some few days ago. It is surmised
that the cat had crushed the rat
tler’s head, but that the snake had
bitten the cat, with the cat dying
later as the result of the poison.
58 PER CENT OF WEEKLIES
SHOW INCREASED LOCAL
LINEAGE
Fifty-eight per cent of weekly
newspapers responding to a question
naire sent out by The American
Press, showed an increase in local
advertising lineage for July, 1938.
over July 1930, indicating that
whereas city advertising lineage has
fallen off considerably the small
towns huve not been affected.
Of those showing an increase, the
increases averaged 20.5 percent, and
ranged from approximately 91 per
cent to 11 percent.
Of those showing decreases, the
average decrease was found to be
only 9.5 percent.
For the two groups there was a
total increase of only 2.0 percent,
but this increase was reported in
spite of the fact that some of the
papers published five editions in
1937, as compared with only four
in July, of 1938.—American Press.

COLORED PEOPLES 4-H CLUB
NEWS
Since the opening of rural schools
on October 3rd, every community
and school have been visited by me,
except one, and 4-H club meetings
held. At several schools joint meet
ings held, for women. Good re
ports of work done given. Some
body is reaHy working to be able to
send in or make such good reports,
for which I thank you.
tt t t
On visiting homes in one of the
communities, I happened to get
there at meal time. The lady had
tried to bake a cake, she said, and
had a failure because she did not
have any baking powder. I asked
her to leave off using baking powder,
with soda, and save the baking
powder money to give her daughter
to pay on her sick and accident
policy, which I just paid for her,
and when she baked again to use
this recipe, and cook her a “Red
Devil’s Cake,” and use soda for
others:
“2 cups flour, 1 % teaspoons
Arm & Hammer Brand Soda, V* tea
spoon of salt, Vz cup of butter or
other shortening, 1 cup of sugar, 2
eggs, 2 squares of unsweetened
chocolate or (2 ounces) of cocoa, 1
teaspoon of vanilla or 2 teaspoons
of different flavors mixed, cups
of sour milk or buttermilk, % cup
of boiling water.” 1 Then she may
call it a “Red Devil’s Fruit Cake,”
or a “Red Devil’s Cake.” Then I
gave to her a baking soda Tested
Recipe Cook Book, with the recipe
in it, except a few changes.
tt t t
Here are a few things perhaps are
worth knowing, and would be helpful
if tried out:
To remove paint from clothing,
take equal parts of turpentine and
ammonia.
Egg whites should not be beaten
m an aluminum pan if you do not
want to darken them.
Save paper bags and slip over
your jars of fruits, writing the name
on the bag. Twist the top of bag
tight. The fruit will keep better,
and jars will be free from dust,
tt t t
Club Folks, it will soon be time
for my annual report making, and
if I do not carry out my dates set
for your meetings, please do not
fail to hold your regular meetings,
for you have nothing to do now on
the farm much. “King Cotton” is
about gathered. Boys, lam looking

STOCKINGS MOST EXPENSIVE
ITEM
An inquiring reporter asked six
women, picked at random, to name
the most expensive single item in
their clothes budget. Five prompt
ly answered: “Stockings!” Small
wonder, when American women
spend $300,000,000 a year on stock
ings!
Even the New York State Depart
ment of Labor, working out a
minimum budget for women who
work, allowed 20 pairs of stockings
a year—a new pair every two and a
half weeks.
Making even a 4-thread stocking
last that long is a problem for some
girls. Frequent runs are the most
common complaint.
