SAVE SOME QUAIL FOR
THE NEXT SEASON
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 14v—“Save
some for next year” is a timely
warning sounded by Game and
Fish Commissioner Peter S.
Twitty on the eve of the opening
of the quail season. “Just be
cause we seem to have an unu
sually fine crop of quail is no
good reason why a hunter should
try to kill them all out,’’ Mr.
Twitty reminds the hunter. “No
real sportsman will kill every
bird in a covey. He will always
leave four or five for another
year’s seed stock. While en
forcement of protective regula
tions has helped considerably,
the unusually good quail crop of
the present fall is due largely to
an extraordinarily fine breeding
season which may not occur
again in many years. If the
quail hunters of Georgia want
to preserve good quail shooting
for years to come, they should
do everything within their pow
er to see that a good supply of
birds is carried over from this
season.”
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
LITTLE HURON T. DOWNS
On October 20th, 1932, the
death angel visited the office of
l)r. Kennedy and Dr. Cason and
took the precious baby of Mr.
and Mrs. Alvin 1’. Downs. She
was two years old at the time of
her death and during her short
stay here she gained many
friends.
Our happy home on earth is
broken,
Death has left a vacant chair,
lifut vfc hope \(i meet her in
heaven.
And complete our circle there.
No one knows how we miss her
And very few have seen us
weep;
But many are the tears we've
shed,
While others are fast asleep.
Weep not dear father and
mother,
For your darling that’s gone
before:
Think of her only waiting
For you on the golden shore.
Huron T. has crossed deaths
chilly river,
You and I must cross it too,
We may live with her forever
On the other side anew.
Her memory now is all we have
It will never fade;
We’ll cherish it and keep It
bright,
Until we meet again some
happy day.
Weep not little sister
For your darling has gone to
home on high;
But only be ready to meet her
In the sweet bye and bye.
The Lord had need for little
Huron T.,
Or she would be with ns today
If we are good we will meet
her, • f
Where all tears are wiped
away.
Her loving cousin,
Annie.

WRITE YOUR OPINION ABOUT THIS COTTON PLAN
,
A recent dispatch to the daily press from Columbia, S. C., was
as follows:
Senator E. D. Smith, of South Carolina, can see no rea
son why the government should not protect the cotton far
mer by congressional appropriations in the “same way it
underwrites railroads, banks and insurance companies.”
With that in view he plans to ask the next congress to
make available a half-billion dollars for the purpose of
preventing a surplus crop in 1933 by purchasing 10,000,000
bales “from the present supply” and holding it off the mar
ket.
Senator Smith’s plan is intended, if enacted into law, to
hifte the effect of controlling production of the nation’s
greatest cash crop by legislation, and one of the require
ments is that cotton growers sign an agreement to curtail
their next year’s crop.
Smith would have the government buy the 10,000,000
bales of cotton already in hand, then offer it to the farmers
at the same price it paid, upon condition they signed con
tracts to reduce their 1933 crops 50 per cent.
As an illustration, he says, a farmer who produced 100
bales this year would sign an enforceable contract with the
government that in 1933 he will not produce more than 50
bales. The government then would sell him 50 bales at
the price which the government had paid in retiring the
10,000,000 bales from the market.
“Having eliminated 10,000,000 bales from the present
supply," the senator explained, “and providing through
these contracts that next year’s crop will be reduced 10,
000,000 bales, we will have eliminated the surplus and pro
vided for just a normal surplus for the fall of 1933.
“The government would be authorized to dispose of this
cotton, and when it does, the purchase price, plus a reas
enable overhead, is to be charged. Tli e money obtained
from sales, alter deducting the purchase price and the
overhead, is to be given to-llie producers—4hat is, all profit
above the purchase price and overhead charge is to be
given to the producer according to the number of bales
held in trust for him.”
This appears to be a workable plan that would eliminate
some features in the “cotton holiday” proposal objected to by
many farmers. What do you think of it? The Clipper would
be glad to publish letters from our readers stating their opinion
of the plan of the distinguished and able senator from South Car
olina, who knows every problem of the farmers of the south.
THE COST OF MOTOR ACCIDENTS
According lo B. G. Willis, vice-president of the Fireman’s
Fund Indemnity Company, the annual economic loss due to au
tomobile accidents is about $2,500,010,000. Some realization of
the magnitude ot the waste can he obtained by the knowledge
that public school education in the entire country costs only
$2,200,000,000 annually.
three Practically all of the two-and-a-half billion loss is due lo
factors—: ignorance, catpjessnpss or incompetence. There
is no other major cause of automobile accidents. The unavoid
able accident is rare indeed. The percentage of accidents due to
mechanical failure of the car is small—and in the bulk of these
the fault lies with the owner who has not kept his machine in
proper condition. ’1 he human factor is present in every con
ceivable mishap.
Most of us have sufficient understanding of the destructive
force of >a moving automobile. A car going 50 miles an houq
has the same potential force as if it were dropped from a height
oi 101 feet. At 40 miles an hour the car will travel 29 feet before
the average drive* is able to react to danger, and it then takes
SO feet, with four-wheel brakes, to stop, or d total of 109 feet.
Last year ignorance, carelessness or incompetence at the
wheel killed 34,400 people and injured almost 1,000,000. Dur
ing 1932 these factors will be responsible for another 35,00|p
deaths—unless every motorist awakens to his responsibility and
does his part to reduce the ghastly toll. -----

Potato Yield Doubled
Yields of late potatoes were in
creased 102 per cent In Cook county,
III., by live applications of bordeaux
mixture. This treatment increased yield
of No. 1 potatoes In the early crop 27 per
cent and the total yield 50 per cent.
The season was dry and foliage diseases
gave little trouble. Most of the bene
fit was from control of leaf hoppers.
The tests were supervised by special

Cedars of Lebanon
Aviation Department
Uncle Sam'8 New Ax
An Excellent Example
The Frenchman who bosses the Le
banese republic, where cedars of Le
banon once grew so beautifully, finds
Lebanese unfit for parliamentary gov
ernment. Their politicians acquire big
fortunes to create new offices and 1m
P° se heavy taxes.
That t0 Araerlca 18 amuslnf ? newa -
More serious news, and sad. tells about
ce( j ar9 0 f Lebanon. There are
on)y a few left, In a small Inclosure
protected from vandals and cattle,
Once Lebanon's forests supplied tree
less Egypt.
King Solomon, If he gets news from
the earth where he is now, will be sorry
to hear about that, He liked cedars
of Lebanon.
The aviation departments of the
army and navy are eager rivals as to
which shall supply Governor itoose
velt with hl3 °® cial Ayins machine
and pilot. He flies a good deal, and
doubtless will fly more than ever after
he enters the White House.
This Is excellent news, for the Presl
dent. looking down, will see how much
chance a man on the ground, or a ship
on the sur*Ae, would have against
bombs po!soD gas and macUlne « uri
-
fire from the air—about as much
chance as a rabbit against an eagle.
Perhaps Governor Roosevelt will de
cide that the flying machine deserves
a department of its own, Instead of
being a subordinate branch of army
and navy.
Now that Governor Roosevelt has
been elected, you may say Uncle Sam
Is like a farmer who has bought him
self a new ax.
Every new ax Is bright, shiny, full
of promise. But getting a new ax
and cutting down the trees are sep
arate things.
There are big and tough trees in our
national forest of problems—depres
sion, unemployment, bootlegging, or
ganized crime.
Mrs. E. H. Hurrlman, widow of a
great American railroad builder, Is
dead. Her husband left a will that, In
few words, gave everything he had,
more than a hundred million, to his
wife, and thus proved his sound Judg
ment.
Mrs. Harrlman has given large sums,
generously and Intelligently, for public
purposes, in addition to promoting en
terprises In which her husband was
Interested. And what Is more Im
portant, she has set an excellent ex
ample as owner of a great fortune.
New York’s unemployment relief
committee finds a “marked Increase In
serious Illness In families of the un
employed ; a shocking Increase In cases
of undernourishment among children,
and 86 per cent Increase in the num
ber of night's lodgings provided by the
municipal lodging houses. The uum
ber of women and children seeking
shelter Increased by 171 per cent.”
Such conditions represent too big a
Job for private relief. It Is the busi
ness of the government to see that
citizens do not go hungry, or women
and children beg for a place to sleep.
Few realize what the human race
owes to medical science. Ihictor Canon,
addressing the New York Academy of
Medicine, reminds you that in the
Fourteenth century bubonic plague
alone caused sixty million deaths In
Europe, with the population a quarter
of what it is now. Some cities and
many villages were wiped out.
Without vaccination, the blessing
brought by Jenner, such a city as Chi
cago or New York would be fortunate
If It bad as few as one hundred thou
sand smallpox deaths each year.
In the Menorah maternity wing of
Beth-el hospital, Brooklyn, ten babies
were born on election nlgbt. Three
were boys, and all three were named
for the new President as follows:
Franklin Delano Maybluw, Franklin
Delano Flnkelsteln and Franklin De
lano Ragln.
May the three Infants prosper and
never have cause to wonder why they
were named Franklin Delano.
"Beer Is coming back" undoubtedly.
What about things more important
than beer—prosperity, resumption of
industrial activity, work in factories,
mills, mines, and the old pay rolls with
high wages’
What about the foundation of the
nation—the farming population and Its
welfare?
C. M. Schwab, who has known what
It was to hand $1,000 bills around, In
charity, as freely as the average man
hands out cigarettes, returns from Eu
rope saying, "The worst Is over, but
don’t be too optimistic." Excellent
advice.
The best way to be not “too opti
mistic" Is to work hard, and this time
save part of what you get
When steel production amounted to
20,000.000 tons Mr. Schwab told the
late J. Pierpont Morgan that produc
tion would go much higher.
It did go up to 50,000.000 tons.
Schwab says now that it will go even
higher than that, nnd of course it
will. Men have only begun to build.
More steel than has ever been used
will be needed for high airplane land
ings alone.
