STAINGENT NEW DOG
(■HE K PASSED
Albany Will Require Either Muz
zling or Inoculation, Ef
fective May Ist
ALBANY, April 17.—At an ad
journed meeting of the City Com
mission when all members of the
board except Commissioner E. H.
Kalmon were present, the ordinance
requiring that dogs either be in
oculated against rabies and tagged
o r that they be muzzled was passed,
but the milk ordinance went over
to the regular meeting to be held
next Tuesday night.
Under the now dog ordinance,
which becomes effective May 1, own
ers of dogs will be required to have
them inoculated and to secure tags
showing that they have been inocu
lated or to have them securely
muzzled at all times except when
they are being fed or treated for
some disease. The city will do the
inoculation for a fee, or it will ac
cept the certificate of a practicing
veterinarian. Tags will be issued.to
owners of inoculated dogs, and dogs
found on the streets without such
tags will be killed. Nothing in the
ordinance will prevent the city from
killing mad dogs, even if they have
been inoculated. The ordinance also
provides that all dogs shall be in
occulated anew each year between
December 31 and February 1.
It is believed that the new ordi
nance, if rigidly enforced, will re
sult in the elimination of rabies in
the community in a few years.
DE LOACH MAKES TALK
TO TERRELL FARMERS
DAWSON, April 17.—A small
but interested group of Terrell
county farmers heard a talk by Dr.
R. J. H. DeLoach on toll weevil
control at the court house here.
This was his second appearance
here recently. In making his talk
the speaker was assisted by a very
interesting chart arranged by him
self. He advoated heavy poisoning
from the time the plant first appear
until the blooms begin to come. “If
you have poisoned correctly until
this time the fight is won,” he said.
‘‘Begin ten days before the first
square appears, and continue pois
oning every five days thereafter
until the migration season, is the
method that made more than a bale

CADETS IN SHOOT
IK HIGH SCORE
Riverside Academy Rifle Team
May Prove Strong Conten
der For Trophy
ATLANTA, April 17.—A remark
able record has been made by the
rifle team of riverside Military
Academy of Gainesville, Ga., ac
cording to reports received here to
day by army officers. The members
of the gallery rifle team of the
academy who were chosen to rep
resent the school in the William
Randolph Hearst Tournament have
just completed their firing.
The result shows a grand team
average of 1848 points out of a
possible 2,000 points, or an individ
ual average of 92.40. Due to the
character of the targets used for
the National R. O. T. C7 Rifle Com
petition, it is. said to be very dif
ficult to secure a perfect pcore,
and the statement is made that tiie
score of the Riverside Cadets will
compare favorably with the scores
made by other essentially military
schools.
Cadet Corporal Sala, it was an
nounced, made two remarkable
scores at the prone and sitting posi
tions of 99 and 98, respectively, his
average for the four positions being
96.4 out of a possible I co. The
scores of the individual members
of the team are: Sala, 95.4; Ward,
93.2; Huff, 93.2; Autrey, 92, and
Parsons, 92.
The targets have been forward
ed to the committee which will de
cide the winner of the valuable
Hearst trophy to be given to that
essentially military school of ths
United States which makes the
best score in the competition.
The cadets of Riverside Military
Academy take great interest in
their rifle competitions, it was stat
ed by army officers here today.
They led all schools of their type in
rifle competitions during the last
three years. Members of the rifle
team are accorded the privilege of
wearing the “R” Cadet Huff, the
team captain is a senior and has rep
resented Riverside in all brancehs
of sport.
Cultivation of semi-arid lands
does not cause any appreciable dif
ference in the rainfall of that re

for doing anything else.
BOOK PRICES TOD
HIGH. HADEN SAYS
Even Higher Prices May Be Ex
pected, He Tells Atlanta
Church Workers
ATLANTA, April 17.—Excessive
prices charged for school books are
doing a great wrong to the people
of Georgia, said Charles J. Haden,
former president of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, in address
ing a joint committee of represen
tatives of eighty Atlanta churches.
Non-resident book combines, he
declared cost the State of Georgia
$4,000,000 jnore than if the books
were printed in the State of Geor
gia.
“Already the cost of books for
our public schools,” said Mr. Haden,
“under the state system form the
first to the seventh grades,
amounts to $20.74 per child. Notice
has been served by the book mo •
nopolies that prices will be raised
considerably with the next school
year.
“In round figures, there are 800,-
000 children in the public schools
of Georgia, making the seven
grades approximately $16,000,000.
A careful inquiry among publishers
and dealers develops the fact that
these books can be printed in Geor
gia at a saving of between 15 and
60 per cent. Accepting the lowest
estimate, we are paying $4,000,000
in excess.
“Publishing houses of our State
rank with the best and our editorial
talent of the highest rank, yet we
bow the knee to book printers in
Northern cities and pay this annual
excess.”
‘MIKE’ KINCEY GOES

“Mike” Kincey, who was mana

ing ten months until recently, left
today for his former home in Sel

several weeks before again enga
ging in active business. Mr Kin
cey during his residence in Ameri
cus has made a host of friends in
all circles, who will learn with re
gret that business interests else
where require his removal from

joins with these in wishing him
success wherever he may go.

JES’ SENTIMENT
Just two little shoes that are rag
ged and torn, are held as a memorv
sweet. Os many black buttons these
objects are shorn; from age, they
no longer are neat.
And yet, as I see them, I drift
to the past—some twenty-odd long
years ago. 1 liese shoes are an
echo that always will last that
means a lot more than you know
Back there in the days when the
shoe soles were bright, a little tot
walked them around, and all of the
buttons were fastened on tight
though some now are missing, I’ve
found.
These tw 0 little shoes taught a
child his first step; they taught
him to toddle and creep. But now
in a closet for years they have slept
—to me, in a memory sleep.
For son has grown up and he’s
taken more strides. And that is the
reason, I guess, why sentiment says
that his tiny tot shoes really started
him out to success.

HANDSOME BRASS
CROSS PRESENTED
Calvary Church Given Magnifi
cent Emblem By Family of
Capt. John A. Cobb
Americus Episcopalians,, members
of Calvary Episcopal church and
their friends, will view for the first
time Sunday morning a handsome
processional Cross just presented to
the parish by the family of Capt
John A. Cobb. Announcement of
the gift, which is an unusually hand
some and acceptable one, was au
thorized this morning by Rev.
James Lawrence Episcopal rectcr
here.
The beautiful cross, which is
used in many Episcopal church
services, is of solid burnished brass
being a specimen of the goldsmith’s
highest are in its design and execu
tion. It is seventy inches in height,
including the handle, which is of
chased seasoned oak, and exquisite
ly finished. The cross bearing the
super-imposed inscription ‘I. H. S,”
Stands approximately tw»nty-four
inches high, is of solid brass and;
patterned after the design of em
blematic crosses used in the large
Episcopal Cathedral:: of metropoli
tan cities. It was designed by the
Gorman Manufacturing Co., of New
Y ork.
Engraved upon the cross at a
suitable place are these words: “To
the Glory of God. Easter Day. A.
D. 1924. John A. Cobb.” Capt.
Cobb, whose name is engraved upon
the processional cross is the oldest
member of Calvary congregation,
and since 1908 has been senior
warden and a member of the ves
try here. He is the second senior
warden in the history of the parish,
having succeeded the late Uriah B.
Harrold, who was instrumental in
the establishment of Calvary church

IS NOW AT HAND
Subtle Slogan With Which Cam
paign Is Armed Is Chal
lenge
ATLANTA, April 17.—Prepare
to clean up, paint up and brush up
■for the annual clean-up season is
at hand. Preparations are being
made here by city, county and state
officials for a thorough campaign
for the cleaning up of premises,
streets, alleys and vacant places.
These are the days when the
home-owner and the householder
gaze speculatively at the back yard,
glance with interest at the collection
of partly-filled paint cans without
which no garage, barn or basement
is complete, and calculate the mil
eage left in last year’s r ires.
Nature, asisted a little by the
PAGE SEVEN
proper public departments, is begin
ning to clean up; the lawn showed
green this morning; there is a green
shoot, species unknown, an inch
above the ground. Against the bad;
porch the dead limbs of last year’s
vines hang brown and ugly; all the
winds of the earth have plastered
waste paper against the fences;
the window boxes have the decayed
stumps of annuals no one thought it
worth while to remove; the alley is
dowdy with a dilapidated garbage
can and occasional heaps of rubbish
which the wind scatters again over
near by yqrds. This is the passing of
winter. It is good old springtime.
The Clean up and Paint up Cam
paign which has become a national
institution in the United States is
designed to capture this reflective
contemplation with which man mus
es on the debris of a canished win
ter, and harness it to an impulse.
1 he impulse is nothing less than
the will t 0 remove the rubbish, tidy
up the lot, front and back, dress
the garden, mop up the garage, see
I the waste litter removed, and if
necessary, have a job of painting
done on the house before the win
dow boxes are filled.
The subtle slogan with which tb.a
campaign is armed is the challenge;
“Keep it up!” and, in fact, noth
ing less than that will keep the en
virons of a home clean and pleas
ant.
