A, ■ ... .. 7b Ouf Advertising Friends The SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, though happy over its debut to Savannab and the state, finds itself confronted with an unusual state of affairs, having to mark.its birth with an expression of regret to those advertisers who, at the last minuted found it impossible to secure space in this initial issue. Until our plant has been properly syncronized for the expected degree .of production, we did not deem it advisable to tax machinery, moored to new foundations, beyond sixteen pages. At a* very early date, this will be accomplished. We will then be in a position to care for every friendly advertiser. The enthusiastic cooperation extended to us by the reading and advertising public of Savannah is an incentive to make rapid strides toward greater progress. —THE EDITOR. PROMIHEHT CITIZENS PREDICT GLORIOUS SUCCESS AND EXTEND FELICITATIONS TO DAILY TIMES ON ITS FIRST ISSUE That the Savannah Daily Times will be of service to this commun ity and will have a long and hap py life is the prophecy of many prominent Savannahians, who have sent their congratulations and best wishes to the new daily paper. Commending the Daily Times on the friendly feeling it created as Public Opinion, a semi-weekly and stressing its great opportunities for splendid achievement in serv ing the public, the following well known citizens express their good will towards the new daily in char acteristic fashion: D. T. SIMPSON, president of the Chamber of Commerce: I extend heartiest congratulations and best wishes for its success to the Savan nah Daily Times.

Decision by Judge Lee Wyatt Os Troup County has equipped th© man from Mcßae with the most powerful weapon in his possession since the battle of finances began. Os course Wyatt’s decision will be appealed. It will run on up to the Georgia Supreme Court. How ever, th-i ruling is one of the basic principals of law:- the state is su preme; it is th© all-governing body. Ergo, it can not be reduced or whiL tied down to the size of any of its citizenry, unless it chooses to be so whittled. True, of course, that the State of Georgia is noL sup?-me —any more than North Carolin:., Main© or Ore gon. The Civil War was fought to determine just where the rights of states ended; today, we accept as fact that the United States is not a federation of independent states —but a solidified nation, sub divided for the purpose of regional government. Nevertheless, so far as relations between itself and its citizens ,the individual State assumes the body of a stat©.

PORTLAND, Ore., April 4 You’ve probably never heard of Blue Boy, but he’s outsmarting the street car company here. And how many straphangers wouldn’t like to do that? Best of all. he’s saving lots of money for the Kubat family here. Each time he wings his way from the Kubat shoe repair shop down town to their home in the suburbs — eight miles as pigeons fly—he saves them 10 cents, the price of one street care fare! Blue Boy is a three.year-old hom ing pigeon. With IS others, he is the personal property of Urban Ku bat, 19, who, with his father, oper ates a shoe repair shop. His fame comes as a street car pass carrier. (A weekly rtreet car pass costs Portlanders 51.25. This is a Pigeon to Have! Each week day morning, Urban goes to the pigeo- loft, gets Blue Boy, puts him into a “carry-all” and hops the corner street car, using the family’s weekly pass. Then when he gets downtown and has opened his shop, the pass is tucked into a small leather case under Blue Boy’s ving, and Blue Boy hits the aerial trail for home, with all the dispatch of a mail plane. Rain, snow or fog, about four min utes later, he drops in for a two point landing at the family loft, and says good morning to Mrs. and the little Blue "oys ar ' gals. But Blue Boy’s travels for the day have just begun. A. R. Kubut, Urban’s father, by uils time has had his breakfast. He removes tLa pass, also places Blue Boy into a "oever all”, sometimes a paper sack, and sallies forth to catch the next street member the Savannah Times of 40 years ago and hope you will be as good a newspaper as that was. You have a wonderful opportunity to Serve your city, county, state and nation and I wish you well.” MARION LUCAS, postmaster of Savannah: “All the luck in the world.

I wish King Dixon and his associates on the Times property and happy days.

In either case consent must be granted to the individual to enter Lis suit. In this particular matter. Gover nor Talmadge does not care to be sued. Nor 1 thjs to be construed as an admission -eak-ess on his part. Any suit e. against his regime at this time is unwelcome. Time, troub’ , worry and mon?y are Important fp?tors—the moral affect of cou t proceedings do not tuid to strengt’ te his position. What T alma dge would most like to see is one suit filed —a suit to end -all suits. He says: “Bring on your mandamus proceedings. Let’s establish whether Daniel and Car reker are de facto or de jure offic ers. Thnt will settle all the argu ments quickly.” Here many barristers agree with the fiery occupant of the Execu. tive’s chair. Should such a case be tried, and the Talmadge-appointed officers be declared legally entitled to hold- office, banks could fearless ly pay out any monies in their possession on signature of Daniel. car to town. He uses the family pass, Then the Mrs.! * ’ A- The operation of putting the pass back into the case is repeated, and with the same enthusiasm Blue Boy hastens home. By noontime, Mrs. Kubat loads a lunch basket and goes through the same operation, but the pass is kept downtown, so two members must pay their fares home. Because, a Urban says, the system works on a "one-way" basis as far as Blu> Bg. is concerned. He’s a one-way bird! Occasionally, though, when Ur. ban’s sisters desires to go to town, Blue Boy makes another trip, but he doesn’t mind because he seems to loye flying over skyscrapers. Readily you can figure Just how much Blue Boy saves the Kubat family annually. It’s well over S6O. Not much care either, is Blue Boy. When he is released downtown he goes home and never has been known to do any philandering en route with the many pigeons which feed in Portland streets! Credit Goes to Boy The family gives all credit for this money-saving procedure to Urban, who has made homing pigeons his hobby for more than eight years. Blue Boy, as well as others in the home roost, are of the exclusive Logan, pure red strain. Often too, Blue Boy is called upon far tine-jW' ’t.k The family has no telephone and'*Wen Urban goes visi ' 'S sometimes Blue Boy gqe along.
