The air. unt is $500.00 which should be easily paid as the cause is a most worthy one. Dr. Kidd has given much time and effort, and has succeeded every year, up this time. This is the last year. The Methodist who have not contributed to this fund should see Dr. Kidd at There should be a strung enough sentiment in every community to bring about the enforcement of the prohibition law. The building up of such a sentiment is the duty of every law abidnig citizen. The rea son liquor is made a n,i bootlegged is because there is a sufficient demand for it, as to cause the violators to be willing to disregard and violate the law. Therefore, it can not be gotten away from that the man who patronizes the bootlegger and din- tiller is contributing in breaking down the constitution of the constitution an dlaws of his county. WESLEYAN DRIVE REACHES CLIMAX WITHIN FEW WEEKS Macon, Ga., May 1.—Urgency of the problems confronting Wesleyan college in the matter of the comple tion of its new plant at Rivoli, near here, are forcefully brought out in statements) by several friends of the college, all of whom are of consider able prominence in this and neigh boring states. One of the mast im portant points in these statements is that which'stresses the immediate need of finance* with which to pro vide an administration building and chapel and two other buildings dur ing this year. Unqualified approval of the Great er Wesleyan campaign for the second million of the $3,000,UU0 ultimate goal, which is now in progress, is the psevailing note in statements from Judge John S. Candler, Dr. S. It. Belk and S. C. Dobbs, of Atlanta; Dr. T. D. Ellis, genera! seceretary of tnc church board of extension, M. E. church, South, of Louisville, Ky.; R. O. Jonos, of Newnan; Dr. G. M. Enkes, of Augusta; Rev. W. F. Smith, of Quitman, and Mrs. Bessie H. Nunn of Perry. One of the most impressive de clarations of the lot came from Dr. Ellis, who said: “It nemes to me that the greatest work that can be done for the womanhood of Georgia right tow is the completion of the new Greater Wesleyan plant All friends of Wesleyan college should rally to its support with liberal contributions until this, the oldest chartered col lege for the education of women, is properly housed on its new campus."

DOCS AND CATS DESTROY THE EGGS AND YOUNG QUAIL Farmer* U«r t erf To Keep These Animals From Roaming During The Laying and Hatchiag Season of Birds A'lanta, April 25.—Only one out of an average of 10 eggs laid by quail ever produce .. matured bird. Generally there is the belief that the activity of the State Game and Fish Department in the preserva tion and protection of game birds and animals is restricted to the mat ter of observance of the hunting sea sons, coming principally during the fall and winter months. In truth some of the most earnest endeavor of the Department is vxi rted during the nesting and breeding season, and it is to this phase of the work the De partment is devoting itself at this time. Indeed, observation has shown that protection of the wild life of the state during nesting and breeding is more important to the sportsman ship than any period of the year. A study of the habits and condi tions, particularly of quail, has shown the Department that the loss of eggs in the nests and young birds will run approximately ‘.*0 per cent. This de struction comes through half-starved prowling dogs roaming the woods and fields during the nesting period. The destruction, though, is not confined to dogs. Nests are invaded and every egg destroyed by coons, skunks, o'possum and other predatory vermin as well as dogs. Then, after the hatch in the spring, when such of the eggs as have eneaped the prowlers are brought through by the mother bird, the little birds fall prey to vagrant house cats proyling largely in the night time. A great deal of data of this kind I has been gathered by the State Game jind Fisn Department, and, in its ef forts to combat as much as possible the enormous destruction cooperation is being sought by the Department among the sportsmen, the farmers, landowners and all other citizens of the State who are interested in game protection. In Georgia there are no laws regu lating prowling dogs and cats, but the Department, in the absence of such laws, is endeavoring to inspire sufficient sentiment among the people in the country districts generally persuade owners to keep their dogs penned during the nesting season of the birds, and to kill off all stray cats not useful or desirable as mous- ers. Pet cats, ns a matter of course, arc more closely watched, or should be. It would be hard to estimate just how ninny times the farmers of the state can multiply the quail and oth er birds on their farms even in one season by giving attention to protec tion of nests from stray dogs and cats, and other predutory animals. Cloae cooperation along this line one Reason will declare an almost un believable dividend in real, legitimate sport the following season. ied at F. W.
