Poultry, Pet and Live Stock
CHICKENS and children.
By Arthur‘A. Brigham.
After fifty years
.Tb e e a r ion. '1 A dviCC
I'.ive come to the
.'..finite conclusion j-s
. (1 . , he two most from
important crops or
America and the
world are chick
ens and children.

the present day.
„,eat indeed has
the progress of poultry culture.
- tn as NOah was able to build for
...L family a suitable home. I am confi
dent that he turned the ark into a
h ( r house and proceeded to encourage
.„ e precious birds to multiply upon the
f‘ u e of the earth. So universally, ex
lensively and earnestly have the sons
and daughters of Noah seconded his ef
fort-; in the preservation and propaga
tion Os domestic fowls that today the
L;ue of the annual poultry production
,f the world can be safely estimated to
t> ( equal to two billions of dollars in
gold We need certainly have no hesi
'ation in placing the annual production
~‘f eggs and chickens in the United
States at a valuation of five hundred
millions of dollars.
I shall not attempt to place a money
variation upon the children. They are
priceless and I feel that I shall have
your hearty Indorsement in determining
fait play and a square deal for both
the ‘ chix" and the "childers.”
In the great progressive movement
which is sweeping this country, carry
ing revolution and reformation into
business, politics, religion and educa
tion there is a place and a part for
ne progressive poultryman.
Poultry culture is almost universal
among our people. It comes close to
the individual and home life of nearly
everv American. Any actual advance
in poultry culture is far reaching in its
effects, especially when taken up and
heralded from the Atlantic to the Pa
. ifi ■ and beyond, by our multitudinous
and widely circulated live poultry jour
nals and agricultural and other period
icals.
One poultry man working and study
ing by himself may or may not accom
ylish much by his independent effort,
hut it is when, putting aside petty dif
ferences and uniting upon the essen
tials, we make full use of the principle
.if co-operation in our efforts, that we
become truly and effectively progres
sive
We have a "Standard of Perfection”
for each and all of our accepted breeds
of fowls. Shall we not seek also to
establish at least a standard of excel
lence for poulttymen?
If “Chanticleer” in a play can be
made the representative of all that is
noble, courageous and fine in charac
ter shall we not demand "Chanticleer’s”
masters that they be leaders in the
greatest uplift of modern times, the
giving to all the children of America
the fullest opportunities for perfecting
their physical development and the
training of their minds and souls for
life's work in the world?
Now we come to one of the connec
tions between the chickens and the chil
dren. If you would begin aright the
life training of a child, you should have
him hatched and brooded in a happy*
rural or suburban home and give him. If
possible, the free range of a good farm
during his period of growth.
One of the earliest delights of the
child <m the farm is the acquaintance
with the fowls. Strange indeed would
be the child's nature if he did not find
the birds attractive. As soon as he is
"Id enough, the child just naturally be-

PAUL SMITH DIES;
J‘SOUARE SPORT’
Friend of the “Down-and-Out,”
Who Found His Heart as
Big as His Pocketbook.
Paul L. Smith, for many years pro
prietor of "Paul’s Place” at Broad
street and the viaduct, dropped dead of
apoplexy early today at his home, 34
Hurt street, Inman Park. He was 44
years old
The death of Paul Smith will bring
deep regret to thousands of Atlantans
who had known him well for years.
Paul was a saloon keeper, a pool room
proprietor, but he was looked upon as
a square sport, and his heart was as big
as his pocketbook. "They never made
'em better than Paul.” was the verdict
of the men around the pool room today.
Paul Smith was never a man to buck
against the law. He had been bar
tender and then saloon proprietor for
years before the prohibition law drove
whisky out. He was running a saloon
in Broad street then. The law went
into* effect at midnight. At five min
utes* past thpt hour Smith had a force
of men tearing out his bar and install
ing pool tables in its place.
"I'm glad the law was passed,” he
said some months afterward. “My
friends have just as good a time on
beer, and there's not so much trouble
and Suffering. I’m making a good liv
ing and I can’t kick.”
He Is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lil
lian Smith, and five children. C. H., H.
D., Paul, Jr., Miss Oea Belle and Miss
Hortense Smith. The funeral services
will be conducted Sunday morning at
the residence in Hurt street, with in
terment at Westview.
HARRY C. STOCKDELL
IS LAID TO REST BY
HIS LODGE BROTHERS
With probably the most impressive
funeral services ever held by secret
orders of Atlanta, the body of Harry C.
Stockdell, insurance man and fraternal
official, was laid to rest from Patter
son's chapel just before noon today.
Leaders among the Masons, Shriners,
Knights Templars and Elks gathered
there with Mr. Stockdell's relatives and
the family friends and mourned the
death of the former Atlanta man.
At the close of the services, Knights
Templars, in full uniform, headed the
long procession to Westview cemetery.
Georgia lodge of Masons No. 96 took
charge of the body there and placed it
in the grave. A number of prominent
business men of the city left their work
to attend the services.
The body of Mr. Stockdell had been
at the undertaker's chapel since reach
ing Atlanta late yesterday afternoon. It
came to the Union passenger station
from Athens, where he died Wednes
day night after a protracted illness.
A delegation of Shriners, Knights
Templars and Elks met the train and
escorted the body across the business
center of the city to the chapel. An
honorary guard of four men—J. W.
Murrell, G. H. Holliday, \V. A. Sims and
John D. Simmons —were with the body
the early part of today.
Mr. Stockdell was well known in the
business world of the city.
Mr. Stockdell moved from Atlanta
nearly two years ago. Until then he
was interested in a number of insur
ance enterprises. He is survived by his
wife, two daughters—Mrs. Hugh Fore
man, of New York, and Miss Harrie
Stockdell; one son —Clarence Stockdell,
of Atlanta. He also had five brothers
and sisters —J. Frank and Frederick C.
Stockdell. Mrs. S. B. Harrell. Mrs. M.
M. Stanaland and Mrs. E. B. Erd,

COTTON SOARS ON
BULLS' SUPPORT
Spot Interests and Shorts Ag
gressive Throughout Day on
Bullish News.
NEW YORK. Sept. 13.—Mixed senti
ment was reflected in the cotton market
at the opening today, first prices being
unchanged to 2 points higher to 1 to 2
points lower. Within a few minutes,
however, scattered realizing brought quo
tations down from 4 to 5 points. The
active months were hardest hit. After
nearly three-quarters of an hour's trad
ing. weather predictions caused buying,
which resulted in prices moving up 10 to
15 points.
During the forenoon trading, the bulls
began to liquidate, which was believed
to be protit-taking, and prices quickly
receded 9 to 10 points, losing almost ail
the gain recorded during the early trad
ing.
The market did not respond to the ad
vance in Liverpool until the larger spot
interests were noticeable buyers, which
started a short covering by the ring,
which was evidently' short. There was
very little cotton for sale, only from the
bulls taking profit. During the after
noon trading renewed buying started
prices on an upward movement, and they
regained the 10 to 15 points decline, and
the entire list aggregated 11 to 21 points
over the opening range.
Sentiment continues very bullish and
shorts are very nervous. Cordill’s report
on Texas and Oklahoma was taken very
seriously, as reports from that section
until recently' were very favorable. It is
believed that a short interest is still in
the market and anticipations are for 12c
by next week.
At the close the market was firm with
prices ranging from 11 to 24 points high
er than the final quotations of Thursday.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 13.—The weath

Partly cloudy to fair in the Atlantics
generally, no rain, which is just the con
dition needed after the recent abundant
rains. Generally fair in the central
states and in central and south Texas.
Cloudy in north Texas and Oklahoma.
! with general and good rains. Tempera
tures materially lower over the entire
belt. Indications are for cloudy weather
and general rains In Texas. Oklahoma
and Alabama. Increasing cloudiness and
scattered showers in the central states:
generally fair in the Atlantics. The dis-
I turbance is still in the Gulf, but so far
has been held out at sea by the high
pressure over the mainland. Washington,
however, issued the following storm
warning this morning: "Advisory dis
turbance central southwest of Pensacola;
will probably move north and northwest,
and pass inland tonight or Saturday, at
tended by strong shifting winds on north
west Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana coast.”
Our market was easy and lower at the
start, but strong support soon appeared
In New York, probably based on the Cot

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 13.—Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows very fa
vorable conditions; partly cloudy to fair
in Atlantics; no rain, which is very fa
vorable after recent general rains. Gen
erally fair in central states; cloudy in
northwest Texas and Oklahoma. with
good rains; temperatures lower all round,
as much as 10 degrees in central belt.
Indications are for general rains and
cooler in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas;
scattered showers in central belt; fair in
Atlantics.
Advisory disturbance central southwest
of Pensacola will probably move north,
northwest and pass inland tonight or Sat
urday, attended by strong shifting winds
tn northwest Florida. Alabama, Missis
sippi coast and Louisiana coast.
The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat says:
Another storm warning for the gulf coast,
following a higher market In Liverpool,
encouraged American operators to buy
contracts, and later in the day higher
spot quotations at Savannah. Augusta,
Houston, Galveston and Dallas made
them feel safer. The weather over the
belt as a whole seems almost ideal. Rains
have fallen day after day in the eastern 1
states and no trace of the recent dry spell I
should remain. Yesterday good rains
were officially reported in portions of the
west, and after the close of the official
record private tqlvices brought reports of
further good rains in Texas and in Okla
homa. Nevertheless unfavorable crop re
ports continued to come both from Texas
and from the Atlantic states, and the
talent’s uncertainty as to the extent of
the deterioration during August made the
market very sensitive.
In Alabama and Georgia, where the
new crop movement is very much later
than Inst year, sellers of early supplies
are probably encountering some difficulty
in estimating the action they need. This
would account for the apparent strength
of the Savannah and Augusta spot mar
kets, though such strength, if really
predicated on this cause, is no guide to
the future and particularly so In view of
the fact that some export cotton is being
offered by Alabama and Georgia on a very
low basis.
