piece of real luck YESTERDAY Cotton
experts are busy today figuring the
money value of yesterdays rain. which
was general Some say the timely
moisture was worth S10OOOOO.
IF the cotton raisers OF Georgia had
the rain-making machinery in their
own hands. they could not have turned
on the showers at a more opportune
time" said J. J. Brown, assistant com
missioner of agriculture.
However a few reports indicate that
some sections suffered considerable
from hall storms. Hail fell in Mil
ledgevllle and vicinity and north along
the line OF the Georgia railroad, in the
cotton belt,

slight. however, and the rainfall com
ing after two weeks OF bright, warm
weather, will put the cotton in sea-
sonable shape despite the late planting

IS BEFORE COURT
IN CLEANUP
CRUSADE 81

The board Of health began its crusade
to clean up Atlanta with vengeance
today when it's inspectors hailed sixteen
citizens before Recorder Bfoyles on va
rious charges of violating various ssni-
tary ordinances ranging from the regu-
latlon of dirt drawing to the use of i'm
proper garbage cans.
A half dozen inspectors Of the health
department made the charges after n
all-night and morning sleuthing expe-
dition about the entire town under or
ders of Chief Jenzen, of the sanitary
corps, and one of the first men they
accused was Alderman J. W. Maddox
of the Fifth ward, whom they charged
with spilling dirt while one of hia
drivers was csrting load through the
street
Alderman Maddox was one of the
first of the sixteen notified to appear
before the recorder and he said today
that all the raids were made through
fear.
Two charges were made against the
alderman and d similar complaint was
made against j. W. Morrow, of this
Transfer Company. The specific
charge lodge by inspectors Maui
din and Anderson, of the sanitary
corps, is that Maddox and Morrow vio-
lated section 2475 of the sanitary code,
which regulates the construction of
wagons used by contractors in hauling
dirt through the city streets, and stipu-
lates that they shall be liable to a fine
if they permit the splling of the dirt
on pavements in transit
Alderman Maddox was fined s5.75 in
each of the two cases. and Morrow was
also fined $5.75. Wallace Kidd, negro,
was fined a similar amount
Nine other men appeared in court TO
answer the charge that they have vio-
lated the garbage can ordinance either
by failure to provide cans for the re-
fuse or cans Of proper size.

Mongrels are best fattened during

Experienced geese raisers realize
from two to seven dollars per year

be seen from these figures that geese
may be even more productive than

essential to successful geese raising.
Where available space for free pas.
turage is not to be had the birds must
be fed on cut green vegetable food
OF various sorts. The presence OF
