We note an item copied from a Kan¬
sas paper to the effect that “cats,
dogs, and little boys somtimes shoot
birds.” Nearly anything can happen in
Kansas, but we are glad that our cats
and dogs are not so dangerous as that.
It is possible to take good advice too
literally. For instance, a man sent up
for highway robbery says that he was
only following the advice given in 1
Corinthians 10, 24.
They have been holding boll weevil
conventions in the court house. It is
our impression that boll weevil con¬
ventions have been held in nearly
every cotton field in the county some
time ago.
A headline informs us that “The
Russian peasants live on rats and
hark.” Some dogs here in America do
the same thing.
A hard Coca-Cola fight is on the
courts. Yet Coca-Cola is supposed to be
soft.
We suppose that to save the use of
an extra word, the present time might
be described as “Weener days.”
That Harvard negro student who
broke the world's record for the run¬
ning broad jump must have heard
somebody say “Jasper County” just as
he started.
TERRAPIN AND HARE
FABLE IS EXPLODED
Mr. S. M. Dobbs, Pine Mountain cor¬
respondent for The Times, has advanc¬
ed a new theory in regard to the age
old “Hare and Terrapin” fable with
which we are all familiar.
The gentle reader no doubt recalls
that the steady old plodding terrapin
won the laurel wreath in the race with
the boastful hare, so goes the tale. We
are told that the hare, who was far in
the lead, stopped to rest and fell asleep
and the terrapin breasted the tape be¬
fore he awoke.
Our venerable scribe informs us that
he found both the hare and the terra
inn resting together under a wheat
shock while hauling his grain from the
tlie other day.—Cobb County Times.
WILD ANIMALS QUIT

Waycross, Ga.—A series of storms,

ation June 30, numbered 8,178, repre¬
senting a net gain of 82 for the fiscal

DOCTOR RELIEVES SIX MONTHS
OLD BABY SHOULD TALK
Chicago,—If your 6-months-oId babv
gurgles “Goo goo,” and cries “hooch”
when you poke a playful linger at his
“tummy” he is behind the times. He
should say; “Desist, father, such an¬
tics annoy me.” Dr. W. B. Swift of
Northwestern university’s school of
speech believes that all six-months-oil
babies should talk plainly. He will open
a clinic soon where mothers may bring
their infants for instructions in the art
of talking.
SEE AMERICA TO COMPLETE
EDUCATION, SAYS NORTHCIFFE
London—There is an interesting sto
here regarding why Lord Northcliff • >,
the English newspaper publisher, took
Wickham Steed, of the London Times,
with him to America. Mr. Steed never
had been in the United States.
“No man’s education is complete un¬
til he has seen America, Mr. Steed,”
Lord Northclifife was reported to have
told his controlling genius of the
Times.
Therefore Mr. Steed went with him.
SMALL BOY DRINKS
PINT OF KEROSENE
Atlanta—James Janezer, 18-rtionths
old boy living at 54 Addison street,
had a narrow escape from death Sat¬
urday night when he drank the con¬
tents of an oil lamp.
His mother was attracted to him by
his loud wails, and he was rushed to
Grady hospital, where by means of a
stomach pump and administering of
emetics, his condition was said to he
serious but not critical. It is said he
drank over a pint of the tiuid.

SOY BEANS MAKE HAY
OK SUPERIOR QUALITY
Thfhssoy bean when cut at the right
stage of growth and properly cured
makes an excellent hay of high feeding
value that is greatly relished by all farm
animals. As compared with hay from
other leguminous crops, soy bean hay is
equal or superior to any. The use of this
hay as a source of protein, which can be
produced on the farm to balance feeds
for growing stock or for milk, should
reduce the quantity of high priced con¬ j
centrated feeds which it is necessary to |
purchase. |
