INSTRUMENTATION LAW.

HE recent victory of the new
- combine act Of the Dominion of
Canada over the shoe machinery
trust was the first under the law. The
Canadian company is simply branch
Of the one in this country, and it
exhausted all the resources of the law:
| to prevent an Investigation, appeal
ing to the privy council of England.
But this was in vain, and the investi-
cation that followed worsted the COM
bination. Some features*of the Ca
adam law are new to us. Any six
petitioners who will *@daclare that a
combine exists and that prices have
been enhanced thereby, Or that com
petition has been destricted to their
detriment, either as producers or con-
sumers, may have an order of court
for Investigation.
This order is for a board to under
take the work. AS soon as this is
done the costs of the investigation are
met by the government. Each party
names a member Of the board and
these two name a third, who must be
Judge Of court OF record, or if
they can not agree the minister Of
labor makes the appointment. The
board has large powers, and when it
reports that a concern is unlawful
! In its combination the concern be-
comes thenceforward, liable to $1,000
day penalty and costs: for any time
that it continues the practices con-
demned by the board. Past acts
are not taken into account, but there
is rigid record of all that date from
the condemnation by the board.
The law also provides for publish
ment for the misuse Of patents, re-
Voking a patent that is being used
for the suppression of competition.
Where a combination is assisted by
the government in maintaining a
! monopoly by tariff duty, the gov
eminent may, without: further legis,
lation, remove the duty in whole or
in part, so as to give the community
| the benefit of a reasonable amount of
, foreign competitions. Governmental
favors like subsidies are to be with
! drawn from any. beneficiary that is
proved to be in combination AGAINST
the public interest. Thus it appears
| that the Canadian law is aimed rath-
! er at objectionable combinations than
combinations as such, and a way is
provided to distinguish between the

ONE OF THE GREATEST NEWS
ITEMS OF THE DAY.

One of the most important and most
significant news items the Times-Re-
corder has published in a long time
was that of Tuesday morning, telling
of the organization of over two thous-
and boys on the farms of Southwest
Georgia in Corn Clubs, to contest fol
the various county and state and ma
tional prizes offered to the boys rails
ing the most corn to the acre.
1t was not what might be termed
sensational news item, and yet, in it
very nature, it was a news item far
transcending in Importance to this
section and to the state the average
news item that is served up with great
head lines and read with avidity.
Two thousand boys in the thirty
counties hereabouts all striving with
the intense enthusiasm of their young
natures to produce the biggest crop of
corn to the acre that has ever been
turned out in Georgia or the Couth, or
the country as a whole. Think of what
that means! An army of boys, youth
full in vigor, active in brain, full of
ambition, eager not only for the cash
prizes, but for the greater satisfaction
that the honor of being the prize win
Ter will bring, blowing and narrowing
and planting and caring for and look
ing eagerly ahead to the time of har
vest Two thousand boys learning how
to make old mother earth respond
more literally than ever before to the
demands that man makes upon her
Two thousand boys starting GU to be
progressive intelligent, quick minded
farmers, farmers who will be pros
porous because they are industrious
and know how to make their labor and
their directing powers tell. Is it not 4
dig item that tells such a thing a.
that?
And these two thousand boys of this
section have probably two or three
times as many companions scattered
over the other hundred and odd coun-
ties of the state. 1t is estimated that
Nefore the contests close fully ten
thousand Georgia boys will be entere,
in it. Ten full regiments of soldiers

vest than she has ever done before,

Lew Parsons built a chicken coop.
And did it rather we'll;
And all his neighbors came to see,
And all began to tell
1t was the finest coop in town,
Which pleased Lew Parsons so
He talked about it all the time,
And let his farm work go.
AS Lew was sitting on the fence
Admiring it one day,
A sudden thunder storm came up
And wet down all his hay.
He'd tell about it at the store,
Until the dav was gone,
And clean forgot to split the wood,
Or cultivate the corn
It's satisfying when you've done
A thing the best you can,
It's keeping up the pace each day
That seems to take a man.
Today'S achievements are worth while
Until the sun has set;
Tomorrow brings new work to do,
Fresh problems to be met.
We each of us are apt. at times,

And contemplating past exploits,
Forget there's work to do;

Tat almost every enc,
Is fond of sitting on the fence, g
Admiring what he's done.
