THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 17, 1924 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 to an acre in spots on the Armour 1 PRETTY ASSORTMENT Purses for the Little Misses, 50 cent value, Easter price 25 cents.

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 gion. Falling in love or making a pile lof money doesn’t leave much time 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 TO SELMA TO LIVE “Mike” Kincey, who was mana ger of the Rylander Theatre dur ing ten months until recently, left today for his former home in Sel ma, Ala., where he will spend' 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 Americus, and The Times Recorder joins with these in wishing him success wherever he may go. Twenty-six thousand persons can stand at one time under the roof of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London. Ninety per cent of what married men leave behind them is life in surance money. THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER // n 0 > /daily poem 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. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

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 cleaHpleason 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.
