Athletic Bribes
Outlawed by Bill
A bill imposing a penalty of from
one to five years in jail for any
attempt to bribe athletes and con
currently outlawing bets on sport- !
ing events was approved by a vote ]
of 109 to 9 in the Georgia House of
Representatives and passed on to
the Senate, where its speedy accept
ance was requested by Representa
tive M. M. “Mugsy” Smith, former
halfback at Oglethorpe University.
It was disclosed that the bill was
requested by Earl Mann, president
of the Atlanta Crackers, of the
Southern Association, Coach Wally
Butts of the University of Georgia
and Coach Bobby Dodd of Georgia
Tech, also receiving the support of
1 Mann and W. A. Alexander, ath
j letic director for Georgia Tech, at a
! recent hearing before the House
| judiciary committee.
The legislation provides a misde
meanor penalty for gambling on the
outcome of football, baseball, or any
other game, with a jail sentence
prescribed for any person who is
guilty of efforts to bribe an athletic
coach or manager, “with intent to
influence such person to lose, try
to lose, or cause to be lost or to
limit his team’s margin of victory in
in an athletic contest.”

Faster Gains and Feed
Savings Prove Results
By W. J. DRYDEN
[ Faster gains and the saving of
1 feed are the aims of every hog rais
er. Among Jhe most essential farm
improvements that may bring these
results are concrete feeding floors.
Such floors help produce more pork
and save feed from being lost in
the mud.
Each hog should have 10 square
feet of floor spnee. To build 100
square feet of floor, 4 inches thick, it
will take 7*A sacks of Portland ce
ment, s /4 cubic yard of sand and 1
cubic yard of gravel or crushed
rock.
If the area to be paved is poorly
drained, it is best to place the con
cret slab on a well-tamped fill of
about six inches. If the concrete is
to be driven over, it should be six
inches thick.
New concrete should be properly
cured by covering with earth or
straw as soon as it has hardened
enough not to be marred, and then
kept moist for at least five days by
frequent sprinkling.

the crossbreeding of the Morocco
Barb and the English Hackney and
the French coach horse.
The conformation of the Morocco
Barb is somewhat similar to the
Arabian horse.
In size the Morocco varies from
1,050 to 1,400 pounds. It is a general
purpose horse, bred for work as

Peanuts Rich
Poanat butter and peanuts are im
portant sources of thiamin, ribofla
vin and niacin. The peanuts’ rich
ness in quality protein and food
energy, plus the generous amounts
of the three vitamins, give this
legume a leading role in group five
of the basic seven foods.
A STATEMENT
Yes, Perry and Houston County have enjoyed prosperi
ty during the war and post war years. This, however, was
not our reason for going into business just a year ago.
The reason was the fact that the normal growth of this
territory coupled with a favorable Electric Rate and the
extended use of electricity in the home and farm justified a
PERMANENT, EXCLUSIVE ELECTRIC CONTRACTING
AND APPLIANCE BUSINESS. We had another impor
tant motive, too. This is our home and we wanted to stay
with our friends.
We did not, however, anticipate the demand that
would be thrust upon us. We have been able to secure far
more Appliances than a new business would normally justi
fy at this time, but not enough for all our friends who want
ed them. To those we haven’t been able to supply we
can only say that we are sorry and hope to serve you soon.
To the many that we have served we extend our sincere
thanks and trust the Appliances and our Services have
proved satisfactory and met your best expectations.
To our many friends and customers who helped justify
our belief that an EXCLUSIVE ELECTRIC SHOP could
be maintained in Perry we again offer our sincere thanks
and appreciation, with the hope of your continue ! pat
ronage through the coming years.

Before the l"th century, n cab
inetmaker was not ;i cabinetmaker
at all but either n carpenter, n join
er, or a turner, and sometimes sev
eral at once, since it was the custom
for the man who built your house
also to build your furniture. Out of
this latter circumstance developed
some of the earliest labor troubles on
record, during which the rights and
duties of each group were definitely,
though only temporarily, defined.
