Milk Ordinance

We as consumers are primarily
interested IN the quality of the
food products offered for sale.
Milk is such notorious offender,
assimilates every kind of matter
that comes within its reach, that
it deserves special attention on the
part of the health authorities. The
consumer is not at all interested
in the amount of license charged
the dairy in fact we believe that it
would be easier to enforce an IN
spection law without a license. SO
many people have but one COW and
sell milk to their neighbors, who
would not pay a license and there
by limit the supply of milk for
sale and inferrentially create a
possible monopoly for the larger
diaries. What we are interested
in, is Pure Milk, milk that comes
up to a fixed standard of butterfat
and that is handled with due care
and under sanitary conditions to
protect it against germs etc. We
are also interested to know that
the milk we use does not come
from an animal infected with
tuberculosis, and these important
features can be had through an
examination of the COWS both IN
the larger diaries and of the in
dividual owner of a single COW.
A frequent analysis of samples of
milk being sold in the city would
serve the purpose for which this
ordinance is intended.

Remarkable Escape
From Instant Death

Atlanta, August 12-Max Rose
berry, an elght-year-old boy, hung
writhing in midair for fifteen
minutes yesterday afternoon, his
hands grasping live wire from
which he could not get loose.
For five minutes he twisted and
screamed, and then he became un-
conscious and the body dangled
hfeIess until linemen climed into
the tree and lifted tie boy down.
Although thousands of volts of
electricity had been h ooti n G
through his body he was not dead,
owing to the fact that his feet
never touched the ground, and it
is expected that he will recover. 1t
has been necessary already to am
putate two fingers of the right
hand, and the boy NAV lose the
whole hand, which was terribly
burned.
The little boy had climbed in
to the tree to play, and losing his
balance had grabbed for the wire
for support.

Last week it was expected that

any action being taken on this

Farmers Hear
Results OF
Crop Experiments
Institute at Cairo Proves
Valuable Facts About
Profits to Georgia
Planters

Townsville, Ga. Aug. 1.-THE
Farmers institute held IN Cairo a
few DAYS ago was very successful.
Chairman J. B. Wright gave a
preliminary talk on the benefit to
the farmers of holding these instr
tutes.
In the discussion of the first SUBJ
ject, Good Cops" Mr.. Wright
showed that fall crop of Irish
potatoes could be raised in this
section as well as spring ones and
he demonstrated how to plant and
fertiIize them for the purpose.
DIR. Eugene Clover, who has a
model farm near Cairo, told of his
experiment in growing cotton. He
kept an accurate account of all his
expenses, profits etc.. and found
at the end of two years that he
had lost money. He next decided
to try sugar cane, but with the
same result. He then began to
grow corn, potatoes, oats. hogs,
beef cattle, etc., and the balance
on his ledger now shows a profit.
w. b. RoddenberY, in talk on
''Live Stock stated that he
bought last fall eighty-two CON-
mon steers and kept them for four
months, feeding on Japanese cane
velvet beans, cotton seed meal and
hulls. He sold them this spring
at profit of $4.87 per head. He
also estimates that the fertilizer
from the stock was worth 81, 900.

WINSLOW SCHOOLS
FIRST ANNUAL

We are in receipt of a copy of
the Winslow Public schools first
annual year book, entitled "Wol-
sniwanozira." :" This annual, the
first that has ever been issued by
the WinsloW schools, is work
of art, both in text and work
manship, and without exagera-
ton, one of the best and neatest
ANNALS that we have seen in this
state so far.
The Winslow schools, under the
efficient instructorship of Prof.
Cornelius and his equally able
corps of teachers, with the assis-
tance and ever ready help of the
School Board, made the Winslow
schools, this year, one of the best
of it's kind in the country, and
second to none. It was thru the
persistent efforts of Prof. Cor
nelius that it was made possible
to publish the first number of
the Wolsniwanozira.."
The annual, from cover to cover
is most interesting, containing
half-tone cuts of the schools,
Prof. Cornelius, the School
Board, the personnel of which is
Mrs. Geo. H. Keyes, Jr., Presi-
dent; Mrs. A. E. Gillard, Clerk;
and DR.. Geo. P. Sampson as a
member. Teachers: Miss May
Taylor Powell, Bessie A. Cava-
naugh, Myrtle B. Snyder, Della
Brake and Zella Roberts, and
then follow pictures Of the var
ious students of the High School,
Basket Ball Team, etc.
One especially good feature of
the annual are the pen and ink,
drawings, comic and otherwise,
done by amatuer cartoonists of
the school that are really good.
The work was done by Miss May
Proctor and Adolph Weber.
All in all the annual is very,
very good, from start to finish,
and the people Of Winslow can
be proud of their schools which
are among the best in the state.
