Oct. 30.—An unusually pret¬ ty four-months-old baby boy is in the baby ward of the Grady Hospital, awaiting a claimant. It was carried there Monday after¬ noon by direction of Police Chief J. L. Bea\ ers, after it had been brought to the stationhouse by a pretty 16-year-old girl, Miss Mildred Ford, of Columbus, Ga., who told the police that the baby had been left in her lap by an uniden¬ tified man on the train en route from Covington to Atlanta. Miss Ford claimed to be a student at the G. N. I. college at Milledgeville, and stated that she was living with her sister, Mrs. L. K. Wallace, in Co¬ lumbus. "I was en route home, coming to At¬ lanta by way of Covington, where I had to change trains,” Miss Ford sta¬ ted. “As we left Covington I observed a man with a small baby in front of me. The baby was crying very hard. He asked me if I knew how to stop a baby from crying, and I told him I did not. He then asked me to hold it for a few minutes, setting the child down in my lap at the time. He walked toward the rear of the coach, and I have not seen him since.” She added that the conductor on the train advised her to turn the baby over to the police upon reaching Atlanta. At the Grady Hospital and police sta¬ tion the pretty little' blue-eyed boy has host of admirers, many of whom seem anxious to adopt it. The baby was tentatively christened C. G. Boland, Jr., at the hospital by in¬ ternes and nurses, in honor of Dr. C. G. Boland, one of the internes, who show¬ ed particular interest in the little fellow The Columbus paper states: The name of Miss Mildred Ford does not appear in the Columbus city direc¬ tory. Lorenzo K. Wallis is listed as re¬ siding at 15 North Columbus Circle, hut residents of that section stated last night tha*t he and Mrs. Wallis had moved from that locality. Efforts to lo¬ cate them were of no avail. SPECIAL SPEAKER AT ALMON SUNDAY Prof. Louis F.

I REGISTRATION AND TAN LAW Under the terms of a law passed at the 1922 session of the Georgia Legis lature, all women whose names are on the Registration Books are required to pay a poll tax, and each woman who registers is required to pay this tax for the year in which she registers, and for each succeeding year, as long as name may remain on .be book. This tax must be paid, whether she votes or not. It is provided, however, that any woman whose name is already on Registration Book, and who does n >t wish to pay the poll tax. may apply to the Tax Collector, who will strike the name from the lists and isstie a certifl cate stating that it has been so stricken This relives the woman from the cessity of paying the tax, and also takes away the privilege of voting. • O.

FARM I.OAN Sim ____ The rules of the Federal P’arm Loan , Board heretofore enforced as to the class of eligible applicants for a loan through this institution have recently been modified so as to take in and make eligible a new class of applicants. The Board has decided, as it should have nave done uone long ions ago, o«w, that “>i.•«=•«>> farmers, tho —— they may , have other .. occupations callings, are eligible to borrow money, This decision, of course, is subject to the provision that the farms are being operated in a manner to render them eligible. and that the purpose for which the loans are wanted comes within the provisions of the Farm Loan Act. B fore this modification, no person coulJ borrow money unless he lived on the farm or was actually engaged In farm ing. Under the new interpretation of the rules, one may borrow money if he is otherwise eligible, though he may lta engaged in bu.ineto out.lde or a. farminn. and doe. no. live on a farm. , I understand that the Federal Land Bank at Columbia has notified some of the associations in my district of th*s ! modification, and yet as the public gen erally mhy not know this, I am writing tWg pard K0 that this new efaUM of ap plicants may make applications for loans if they wish to do so. C. H. BRAND EPWORTH I.KAGl E GIVES HALLOWE’EN I* ART! Tile Epworth League Invited a group of ghosts from the spirit world to make merry in the Methodist church annex on Halloween night. The decorations featured material prosperity. Autumn leaves, fodder in the shook, pumpkins and symbolic do signs mingled effectively. The ghostly visitants represented va¬ rious types. “Grand Kleagles” enjoyed a fellowship with black-robed "N'iohes”. “Mephistophefi's" made a vivid note of color in the scheme where black an I white were dominant. A monster of hid¬ eous mein limped through the dim aisles like a spectre, grim and gaunt, while astral forms of tin\* children floated about like dolls in motion. The scene was wderd and uncanny, A witch of Kndor with her broom held full sway In the fortune teller's cave; another witch dispensed messages from a lighted cauldron in her den. Booths “For Men Only" and "Fur Women Only" and a love potion dis¬ pensary attracted a constant stream of th*' curious. Bobbing for apples, blowing the can¬ dles. pinning the cats tall, a trip through the underworld, were diver¬ sions. A mock trial, over which Judge Jack Flowers presided, was an episode of great moment. A prominent member of Hie younger set prosecuted a distin¬ guished earthly inhabitant for alien¬ ating the affections of hlH spirit wlf >. The trouble is said to have originated ln a too frep communion with Outjn. Tlii> witnesses in the case testified by gestures. A verdict of guilty was ren¬ dered. The sentence was a dozen years ln it vault, attached to a Ford. The following menu was served hi conclusion: Bluet Gat Soup, Owl Screams, Spook Die, Pumpkin Salad, Magic Charms.

The frequency of divorce, proving that a great percentage of marriagei are failures, together with the accom panylng problems of alimony or otlvi means of support for the divided fain ily, lias brought forward, through e i terprising insurance men, the recoin niendation that divorce insurance b< established as u system.—Muncie Sta, . Two phases of this subject have been advanced. The first suggestion was that insurance policies against divorce be issued, but this seems rather un¬ likely to win favor with happy brides and grooms, who of course believe that they will live blissfully ever after. An¬ other recommendation Is that the poll eies be written for happy marriages rather than against unhappy ones. The New York Insurance Press suit gents that a Joint endowment policy for husband and wife, payable to both at the end of twenty-five years in full, in¬ to either on the death of the other, would attain the desired end by a stip ulation giving a considerably smaller benefit to the innocent party In ease ,n divrtree. This stipulation would, it :s thought, check hasty divorce action on the part of the aggrieved one. This sor t of insurance would remove something of the element of romance from marriage and would have a ten¬ dency to Jar upon tender sentimcit' says the Star, but this is a highly practical age, and even the most loving brides sometimes have an eye to their personal interests. These are progressive days. Marri¬ age, once thought to be in itself an ill surance for happy life, is no longer to be depended on. The outcome Is un certain. Th*' young bride and groom who start out with happy holies may not always find their dreams realized. The Star believes that if the pledges of the marriage ceremony are not enough, insurance may help.—Savannah Press. Read every advertisement in this is st e of The News. You may miss some thing.

There is a marked inclination on the part of many of the youths of today to shun ail manner of work, manual and otherwise, which . , , , bodes . no good , for the future manhood of the nation. This is the type which is generally to be found eternally “hanging out” at the corner drug store, with a cigarette pro truding at a forty-five degree ang.e from one corner of his rnouth and a smutty story, embellished with the lat est slang, issuing from the other.

SI. 50 Per Year in Advance MINISTER ASKS KOI{ DIVORCE Charging among other things that his wife had threatened to kill him, Rev. J. W. Ponder, pastor of the Bap¬ tist church at Covington, Ga., Saturday filed in Fulton Superior Court a suit for divorce from Mrs. Robbie Ruth Ponder, whose address was given as 111 Davis street, East Point Dr. Ponder-charges that his wife was constantly nagging hint, anil that she hud cursed anti abused him at various times, once making the stat" ment that she neither loved nor had any use for him, and that sh would manage to get rid of him in some man¬ ner. They were married In 1914, accord¬ ing to Dr. Ponder's suit, and lived to¬ gether until 1921, when he was forced to separate from her tin account of her alleged indiscreet conduct and cruelty to him. The clergyman charges that his wife “had a mania for night life” and that she was eonstantlj taking automobile rides with different men, some of whom he knew to be immoral, and others he did not even know. She would remain out late, and would not get home until between midnight and morning, he claims in his suit. When he would remonstrate with her for this conduct sh*' would fly into a violent rage and abuse him. Dr. Ponder Is 34 years old, and Mrs. Ponder is 2X. They have two children, Frances, aged fi, the custody of whom he 1 h seeking, and Robert, aged 3. both of whom are living with Mrc Ponder, It Is said.—Atlanta Georgian. (An error was made In the above In giving the address of Rev. Ponder, ns he Is a resident of Porterdale nod not of Covington, and has no connection with the Covington Baptist church.) MR. A. S. WILSON WINS TRIP Friends are congratulating Mr, A. S Wilson on winning a trip to Holyoke, Mass. This honor Is awarded by the Whiting Cook Paper Co- to their reprv Hentutivrs making the highest sales record. Mr. Wilson scored successfully, and will leave at an early date for Hol¬ yoke. JUDGE PEEK C'ONTINIKH TO IM PROVE it is gratifying to the many friends of Judge J. H. Peek to know that he is Improving rapidly from the effects of the fall Hiistaini'd some WcckM ago. Judge Peek will soon bo able to re¬ sume his official duties downtown, where he has an office with Mr. C. A. Harwell next door to the Diggers Gro¬ cery Company on dark street. If Gaudier was not a rich man, and he la-smirched the name of a good wo¬ man to get out of a marriage, he would have been horse-whipped by some real man before now, Any man who breaks off u marriage with a woman and gives gossip as the reason, and hasn’t the manhood In him to give the names of the person* who told him, is below the notice of decent white people. Old man Candler’s conduct In his recent esca¬ pade confirms the people lo their belief of his guilt with Mrs. Hirsch. That poor woman was drien out of the state lieeuuse of his money, and now it scons he lias one who won’t run. if the decent people of Atlanta don’t s>" to It that the old hypocrite is made to give the names of that woman’s tra ducers, it will be a disgrace. Any wo¬ man that become* chaperone general of the Confederate Reunion is too g rod to he treated in any such way. Georgia is tired of the doings of the Candler gang, and it is time they felt the patch ing for their misdeed*.
