first two months of the year the
Republicans received $261,000, the
Democrats $49,000, and the liberty

The First Grade Learns To Tell Time
The first grade has just complet
ed a study of learning to tell time.
By the use of clocks, games, stories,
poems and songs many of the chil
dren have learned to tell time. Much
interest was aroused by finding pic- j
tures of different kinds of clocks in •
catalogues, magazines, books and j
tion of the convicted kidnap-slayer
of the Lindbergh baby. Hauptmann’s
execution is set for the week
March 30.
At Brooklyn, four Department of
Justice Agents last week captured
Edward Bentz, sought in North Caro
lina, Vermont and Pennsylvania on
charges of Bank Robbery. Dressed
only in his underclothes, he was
taken from a dumb waiter trying to
escape from his apartment. In the
apartment were found a quantity of
weapons, including machine guns.
Hie agents had “smoked" him out
with tear gas bombs.
At Manchester, Big land, Dr. Buck
Bruxtan was convicted of the mur
der of his wife and sentenced to
death by hanging. The jury delib
erated an hour and decided he had
throttled his wife, dismembered her
body and toBsed it into a ravine
called the “Devil’s Beeftub.” He was
also charged with killing a nurse
maid after she saw him choke his
wife.
SKY LIGHTED—
One morning last week at New
ark, N. J., residents awoke with a
start as windows rattled and the
country side was lighted up for
many miles around. Soon they leam-
giant meteor had shot actoos
the sky, vanished apparently into
the Atlantic Ocean. The object was
reported to have been visible from
buildings as far away as Washing

A paper plate was used to make the

sign around the edge of his dock
with black crayons. They decided
it needed a minute hand and hour
hand which they cut from black
art paper. The hands were fastened
to their docks with a br-d. The real
thrill for the children came when
they were ready to attach to their
clocks the colored thread and pine
cones, which were used as pendul

EVERYBODY
WINS!
Georgia’s most contented homes today
arc those which arc making wise and far
sighted increase in their use of electric
service, homes that arc using electric serv
ice more and more to brighten their days,
lighten their tasks and add to the smooth
efficiency of home life in general.
Here is an investment that pays imme
diate returns!
Every hour from which electricity can
remove household jobs that once were
burdensome is one hour less for acquiring
wrinkles of worry and toil — sixty min

civic, religious or cultural activity, getting
acquainted with the family and neighbors

to use it!
Georgia homes — literally by the thou
sands!— arc finding out the truth of this
every day that passes. Georgia ranks high
in the nation in use of electric service
in the home and is climbing higher all the
time. Georgians know how to LIVL and
are proving it

all it CAN get cheaply and easily, from
