1t has occurred TO me that many peoples
al home do not know how results are ac-
complished in Congress. Some people
may think that the member who makes
the most speeches, or the loudest ones, is
the most useful congressman. This is NOT
the case at all. The point l am trying to
make was well illustrated here this week
when Representative Wyatt Aiken got
through a joint resolution making all
emergency appropriation OF So 900 for the
purpose Of fighting the army worm in An
dersOn county and other places where it
had occurred.
In order to make the whole matter clear
! had better tell the whole story from the
beginning. Last Sunday night Mr.. Aiken
received u telegram from Mr.. J. W. Roth
rock, the farm demonstration agent for
Anderson county, telling OF the appear
ance OF the army worm in that section,
and asking that III expert be sent to look
over the field and advise the farmers What
to do. Mr.. Aiken went to the agricultural
department next morning Monday and
saw Secretary Wilson about il. Mr.. Viii
son t%elephoned to DR.. Webster, the cnto-
mologist Of the department, and asked him
to come over. They discussed the matter,
and Mr.. Aiken insisted that DR.. Webster
should go to Anderson at once. Dr.. Web
ster said there was no money available
that the appropriation bill for this year
had not been passed, and that all the mon
ely given in the last appropriation bill had
been exhausted.
Mr. Aiken began feeling in his pockets
and pulling out money. Il don't know
whether l have enough money with me to
pay your expenses he said, but / can
get some more by the time the train
leaves"
I'm game too" exclaimed Secretary
Wilson, and he began TO dig VI, too. And
between them Mr.. Aiken and Secretary
Wilson made up enough money to pay Dr..
Wcbster's expenses OH the trip, and he
left Washington that night.
DR.. Webster reached Anderson Tuesday
afternoon and ut once got all automobile
and went to the infested section, in con
panv with Mr.. ROthrock and other cit,
zens. He found the situation worse than
he had expected, and went back into All.

CoRNBREAD GOOD FOR TEETH
Southerners are Rarely Defective in This Respect, Says Navy Surgeon

It's the corn bread that southern boys eat which gives them such fine teeth thinks Surgeon Allan Stuart of the local navy recruiting station.
 we accept more applicants here than in any other part of the country. certainly more than in New England, where I was stationed last" says Sur geo Stuart These North Georgia boys who come off the farm measure up to a fine physical standard.
 We refuse practically no applicant because of bad teeth. and this, 1 be- Iieve is due to the fact that so much corn bread is eaten. The mastication necessarily exercises the teeth and keeps them healthy, and healthy teeth make for a healthy man. I made an effort to get corn bread adopted into the navy diet-but it takes the south erner to eat corn bread

Young Mexican Was Shot Through Lung by Sixteen Year Old Girl Who Was Pooling With Revolver Yesterday Afternoon

Serildo COnturo. a Mexican about nineteen years old, wing near the Desert Inn. was shot through the right breast yesterday afternoon I,y Ethel Cochran a sixteen year "l1 glrl The bul'c, cut through the top of the right lung ard last night had nc been extrac. eG.
 The first information of the affair was brought to the office of the sher- if by the mother of the young man who related a story that made it ap- pear like an attempt at homicide. She said that her son had gone to the house of the Cochrans and as usual when he got ready to leave the girl insisted upon his staying and this tire when he was determined to g she Gho- lIm.
 Sheriff Adams and Deputy Corners went out immediately to investigate the affair. Stopping at the home of the Cochrans they saw Mrs Cochran who said that she was not at home at the time but her daughter and a younger son told what happened.
 The girl said that she and her two brothers had gone to the canal to bathe and while they were there Con- turO came and accompanied them home as he often had done for he had been frequently employed by Mrs. Cochran in irrigating.
 He had a revolver which he had discharged several times and then pointed it at her and her brother in fun. There appears to have been con siderable joking and playing The girl got possession of the gun and pointed it at Conturo who cried out that it was loaded. His warning came too late for almost simultaneously there was the explosion of the revolver.
 Conturo threw up his right hand and the bullet passed through it. en- tering his body. COnturo did not fall and with the assistance of the girls brother he was able to walk to his home nearly a half mile away.
 A physician from the Desert Inn was summoned and dressed the wound He said that in itself it is not a serious one. the greater danger lying in in lection. for the bullet had carried in pieces of Conturo's very dirty shirt
 The sheriff next visited the wound ed man, whose story of the affair differed only in minor details from that told by the girl. He said that he was about to leave the Cochran house when the girl asked him to stay and when he arose to go, she took the revolver from his coat pock- ct and pointed it at him. He told her it was loaded but he told her too late.
 He said that he was sure that she did not know that the weapon was loaded and that there was no inten- tion to hurt him. Mrs. Cochran wis ited him and said that she would pay the doctors bill

FORGERY CHARGE
 AGAINST HUDSON
Glendale Citizen Who Proved An Easy
 Mark.

Earl Hudson the young man who is raising is now facing another charge, this time. plain forgery. He was pos itively identified yesterday by Harry HOtchkiss of Glendale the proprietor of a pool room there as a man for whom he Cashed q check about five weeks ago.
 The amount of the check was s15. It bore the signature of John E. Lacey and was made payable to George Huff man. Hotchkiss gave Hudson s1O all the money he could spare that night and Hudson was to return the next morning and get the rest.
 MT. Hotchkiss seems to have been singularly incurious about this trans action He had never heard that there was such man living as John E. Lacey and the existence of Huffman was equally unknown to him. Nor had he ever seen Hudson before.
 He did not notice at the time that the handwriting of Lacey and that of the endorsement of the check were the same. After making sure that Hudson was the man He ndu SuppOSeu Io De Huffman ne went before Justice John stone and swore out a warrant.
 Regarding the check raising episode Hudson says he knows nothing. He gave the check to another man to cash for him. He suspects that that indi- vidual must have been a person of criminal instinct and altered the check while he wasn't looking.

TOOK OCCASION
 ID TELL HE TRUTH
William Hazee, Convicted of Liquor
 Selling Says Jury Guessed Right

William Hazee, the proprietor of the -Four Mile House." who had been convicted by a jury the day before of selling intoxicating liquor within a dry district, came before Justice Johnstone yesterday morning to re- ceive his sentence. He also embraced that occasion to make clean breast of it.
 He said that his defense had been purely a formal one and that as a matter of fact, he had no real defense, for he was guilty as charged. He said that it was with great reluctance that he had engaged in the sale of beer, but that he was urged to do so by those higher up" They had assured him. Hazee said, that no ill could come of it; that there was no likeli- hood that he would be caught at it. 'Henceforth, HaZee assured the court, he is going to stick to soft drinks, which are better for the seller as well as for the buyer. On account of the confidence repOsed in him by Ha- zee, Justice JohnstOne administered a fine of only $50. He had intended to make it somewhat heavier than that. heavy enough to discourage any further selling by the same defendant But he felt sure that the lesson al ready received had sunk deep into the heart of Mr Hazee
 J. Eslinger, who had been brought before the court on the charge O. threatening to take an aX to EC WoOtten, was discharged, it appear ing to the court that the threat was an empty one.

Sweet peas, my happy fancies.

And dainty, perfumed yiolets fill all

cheer the long, dull days.
The bordering forget-me-nots-they

The world is white with winter--but
