HUNTERS NIBS I I
HAVE LICENSES
State Fees Must Be Paid Even
If One ‘Takes a Chance’ On
Violating Federal Law
Hunters who shoot doves during
(the open season in ueorgia Aug. 1
to Aug. 31 inclusive in defiance of
the federal law protecting migra
tory birds, must have state licenses.
This was stated here today by J. E.
Mathis, county game warden, who
says efforts are being made now to
have the state law amended so ns
to conform to the provisions of
the federal statutes.
Reports of violations of the game
laws have already been received in
Americus, and Warden Mathis to
day expressed regret at these, say
ing he had hoped to have the whole
hearted co-operation of all true
sportsmen in the enforcement of the
state’s game laws this season. Witn
this co-operation, he says, the exist
ing game bird supply can be pre
served and maintained throughout
many years, with sufficient shoct
jng permitted during the open sea
son each year to satisfy even the
most ardent sportsman.
Game birds of many varieties are
of extreme value to agriculture,
experiments Jiqve demonstrated, and
with their disappearance new anc
alarming insect problems are ex
pected ~to be encountered, accord
jng to calculations of eminent bo
tanists who have studied closely the
problems involved.

Washington Not Anxious
To Meet ‘Barron Renfrew
Prince of Wales Scheduled to
Visit National Capital ‘lncog
Next Month
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON, July 30.
When the Prince of Wales, disguis
ed as Baron Renfrew, comes to the
States next month to watch the
polo tournament, there will be no
mad rush from Washington to ob
tain invitations to luncheons, din
ners, etc., in his honor.
Not that Washingtonians don’t
like the prince. They do. But
most of them also like food.
And from experience during the
prince’s visit to WashingtVn a few
years ago it was found that lunch
ing with a prince has serious
handicaps.
* * •
During the prince’s sojourn in
Washington, a select group of 21
“representative” Americans, most
of them from official and ultra
fashionable circles, were asked to a
private luncheon at the town house
of Perry Belmont, where Wales had
taken up his residence.
The royal scion proved a most
charming fellow. He off
hand the personal interests and
connections of each of his guests,
and conversed intimately and at
length with each. Meanwhile,
luncheon waited and appetites
grew. When the party finally
was ushered into the dining room,
the thing uppermost in the minds
of most of those present was food;
food substantial and plentiful!
Alas! however, for such fond
hopes.
Even in democratic America, it
developed, royalty must be served
and served first.
And if he doesn’t happen to
have much appetite, then his
guests mustn’t have much appe
tite, cither.
Perhaps the, prince had break
fasted late that morning. Perhaps
he’s a light eater. Anyway, the
prints got his first and did not
wait on ceremony to satisfy such
appetite as he had.
Before the guests at the foot of
the table had much more than
licked their chops in anticipation of
the delicacies to Come, His Royal
Highness had finished.
And, having- finished, he appar
ently sensed no reason why he
should remain at table until other
more plebeian and voracious appe
tites had been appeased. Without
excuse or apology, therefore, he
lighted a cigaret, pushed back his
chair and withdrew.
• « *
What to do, in such a crisis? The
guests looked at each other hesi
tatingly, inquisitatively.
Someone who thought he knew
the royal regulations, pushed back
his plate and his chair and fol
lowed.
Doubtless that was the thing to
do, so it was done. But ah! how
reluctantly!
With longing, lingering looks at
the scarcely touched food they had
just begun to enjoy, the whole
party surrendered its American In-
dependence and trooped out in the
wake of Albert toward etcetera.
As an occasion of distinction in
the lives of th.- commoners pres
ent, it was an event to be remem
bered. But as a luncheon, either
royal or otherwise, it was private
ly and emphatically branded as a
“frost.”
* * ♦
“Diplomatic immunity” is one of
the most prized perquisites of
foreign officialdom in Washington
It’s chief value, in the eyes of
the ordinary citizens of the capital,
is that it enables those to whom it
is extended to bring in, free aliku
from customs duties and prohibi
tion interference, pure and potable
alcoholic beverages.
But to the diplomat and Their
families that is merely incidental.
One diplomatic dowager who
parked her car by a fire plug the
other day defied the protesting
policeman who accosted her. She
was not diplomatic in her lan
guage, but she was immune from
arrest. She did not move the car.
Had she been speeding at 30
miles an hour, she could also have
given the officer the “haw'-haw.”

Washington Minister Uses Fore
casts in Planning Sermons to
Congregations
WASHINGTON, July A ;
minister using weather forecasts
fit tile attendance to the eapac.-y
of his church and the services to
the mood of the congregation as af
fected by the weather, is the latest
innovation in utilizing the govern
ment’s prognostications that has
- come to the attention of Weather!
Bureau officials here.
The pastor of a large church in !
one of the country’s large cities,
whose edifice is unable to hold al!
that come in “good church weather,”
but which is not filled in inclement
weather, telephones the forecaster
at the local weather bureau office
every week for Sunday's weather
prospects.
If the forecast indicates weather
good enough for church, but not for
golf or motoring, publicity through
the newspapers in curtailed and no
attempt is made to increase the at
tendance, as the church will be
crowded to capacity without such
efforts. But if stormy or very fine
weather is in prospect, special an
nouncements of sermon and attrac
tive musical programs are made in
the newspapers and every means is
used to arouse interest. A similar
course is followed for the Wednes-.
day evening prayer meeting.
POTATO RIVAL
The South, where potatoes can
not be grown with success, is trying
out a substitute, the dasheen. The
dasheen is a full root crop known
for centuries in the Orient and im
ported from Porto Rico in 1905.
They are much like the potato.

HUGE HARVESTER
W EMPLOYED
Hundreds cf Thousands Engag
ed in Reaping Operations
Move Northward With Crops
TOPEKA, Kan., July 30. —The
harvester army that is naw employ
ed gathering the crops of the great
central wheat belt states out num
bers the entire peace time strength
of the United States army. The
advance guard started northward
in Texas early in June, adding re
cruits by the thousands as the sea
son moved into the pivotal wheat
state of Kansas in mid-June, and
swelling in to more than
100,000 as it reached its peak activ
ity in the Sunflower state ’’.bout July
1, according to statistics available
at the state court of industrial re
lations here.
“It requires 105,000 men to han
dle this harvest and provide for re
placements” remarked J. H. Craw
ford, presiding judge. “To visual
ize this great army taxes the imag
ination. Witness 162 trains, made
up of ten passenger coaches and
each coach carrying 65 men, rush
ing from South, east and west to
the points of distribution. Then
stand for 39 hours until these men
march single file past a, given point
and stretch along the highway a dis
tance of 78 miles. Do this and you
will see the army of harvesters dis
tributed through the wheat belt an
nually.
“In addition, the public employ
ment service recruited 53,000 men
and distributed them where needed
I as cotton laborers, potato pickers,
| corn Ivuskers and for apple, berry
i and sugar beet labor, making 156.-
383 seasonal laborers supplied in
1.923.
“Kansas, which grows more wheat
than any other state in the nation,
is harvesting approximately 9,-
000,000 acres and the crop is esti
mated to exceed 100,000,600 bush
| els. Kansas wheat fields occupying
~1,5000 square miles have an area as
, great ’as the total land surface of
, J Massachusetts, Connecticut and Del
; aware combined. It is estimated
| tlie total wheat area of the wheat
3 belt states,'from Texas to North
i Dakota and Minnesota, I.- approxi
| mately 33000 square miles of win
ter wheat, while in the northern
j states the spring wheat aggregates
15,000 square miles a total area of
48,000 square miles.”
Staying up all night may make
you as wise as an owl, but owls
have no sense during the day.

BERNE, Switzerland, July 30. 1
A pension of SBO a year to alii citi
zens of 65 years of age is provided
for by the measure now before the ‘
Swiss parliament. Half of the cost;
Is to ba covered by the state, and to 1
this end it is proposed to increase!
the tax on alcoholic liquors. The ‘
other half of the cost is to be pro- !
vided by the insured and by those j

The measure is meeting with .gen-j
eral favor, except from the Social-!
ists, who find SBO a year insuffi
cient. They also urge that the pen-!
sion be paid also to invalids of any

MACON, July 30.—Because of a
lack of funds with which to operate,
announcement was recently. made of
the closing of the Door of Hope, an*
institution which has been conduct
ed for the past thirty years as a
refuge for girls who wandered
astray. The home has been sup
ported through missionary funds of
the Methodist Episcopal church.
Officials of the institution found
that in order to maintain the home
on funds received, that it would be
necessary for the installing of an
industrial plant to afford employ
ment of the girls and help support
it. This being unable to obtain,
the institution was closed.
