Eggy gasped. aBut-but that would be Unjust"

contrary, my theory is that great deal of

cents day from the time he was ten until
he came over here under contract to a pa
drone few months ago. So you see his pos
sibilities for mental development have been
limited. But his muscles have been put to
use in helping dig new subway for us. We
hope, however, that in the future his latent
talents may be brought out. That being the
case, he is possibly the grandfather of the
man who in 1865 will write for us an Ameri-
can opera better than anything ever pro-
duced by Verdi. Why not?"
Wegawps at the grandfather of the musical
genius of 1865 and grins. He's short, squat

the finish grins back at us. Likely he

reduction of Georgias cotton acrelga
is distinctly cheering. In other cotton
growing states a contrary tendency is
manifest. Louisiana, for instance, is
credited with a fifteen per cent in
crease in cotton acreage, Mississippi
with a ten per cent increase and Texas
with a ten per cent increase. Yet,
with the exception of the last named
state, Georgia's cotton acreage ap-
pears still to be the largest in the
South. 1t is estimated by the New
York Commercial at four million, eight
hundred and ninety thousand acres.
That of Mississippi is set down at ii
little less than three and a half mil
lion, South Carolina at two million,
seven hundred and thirty-four thous-
anu, AIdDdlld, nearly lOuT ml1llOli,
Louisiana, about a million, three hun
dred and fifty-thousand; Texas at ell
even million, nine hundred and sixty
two thousand
Cotton will continue to be a great
source of Georgia's wealth, but it is
encouraging to know that other fields
of agricultural interest, which were
once sorely neglected, are coming into
their own and that our farmers are
utilizing the wondrously varied OPP
pOrtunities that lie about them. If We
produce more corn, more wheat more
livestock, more vegetables and other
roodstutis, instead of importing them at
high prices from distant markets, we
shall be we'll compensated for the re
duction in the cotton acreage; we
shall be a richer and more independ-
ent people.

WILD PIGEONS SEEN AGAIN
Pair CT SeciepS Almost Extinct Has
Nest in Pennsylvania

ALLENTOWN PaD Dispatch to Phila.
North American.)
For some years ornithologists have
been putting up cry of distress over
the extinction of the American wild
pigeon.
This bird was once so numerous that
it was one of the chief delights of the
sportsman, and it formed in the colon
ial days and even as late as 1860, a
not inconsiderable article of food. Ey-
EN- 30 years ago it was numerous.
Within the last two years an enthus-
last offered a reward of $4,000 for a
pair of wild pigeons.
}, Mark Mauser, former president OF
the Lehigh Valley Motor Club, reports
that a pair of wild pigeons are inhab
iting a stretch of the woodland along
the banks of the Lehigh River near his
home.
Mr. Mauser gives credit for the dis
covery to Moses Newhard, a neighbor,
who for many years was an enthas-
iastic woodsman. Mr.. Newhard, in his
younger days, trapped and shot thous-
ands of these birds. The distinguishing
characteristic, according to these two
lovers Of nature, of the wild pigeon Is
a beautiful blush bronze The region
in the palmy days of the wild pigeon
was the breeding place of myriads of
these birds

in the last IA months, and less than 30
of them knew he was blind. His dag
nosis is made wholly by touch. He
can give the exact temperature by
feeling the skin and exact pulse count
without the aid of a watch. He uses
the touch system of typewriting, but
cannot write his own name with a
pen or pencil.
He is the first blind man who ever
took the full four years course in
medicine and passed the present Hi
nois examination for medicine and
surgery. When he was graduated from
the Chicago College of Medicine and
Surgery he named nearly 500 out Of
600 men in his class just by shaking
hands with them.
Or. Bolton was graduated from the
Illinois State Hospital for the Blind at
Jacksonville when he was IA years old
and Travelled all over the country sell
ing typewriters, finding his way with
out assistance and making a good
living.
When told of his appointment he
said;
This means a great incentive to
blind people, as it opens another ave
niue of occupation.
Dr Bolton says he can take his
raised type books to bed with him and
read all night in the dark, giving h'n
an advantage in studying.

NO FREE CANAL PASSES
Boston Advertiser

Ex-senator Chandler said a pretty
good thing, in commenting upon the
Panama canal toll issue-and one
which puts the whole question in nut
chell. In reference to the strong
public opinion against the grant of
special rebates and free Transports
ton on American railroads, he added
that there should be no free passes
on the Panama Canal, either" That
is the whole issue. The Europea.l
Governments simply point to the abso-
Lutte pledge made by the United States
that there should be no favoritism and
no discrimination in the Panama Can
al toll rates, and all they ask is that
the United States keep that pledge.
Not to keep it would be rank dishon-
esty no matter what Richard Olney or
any other defender of that sharp prac-
tice may say. Most Americans feel
that it is tar better to keep the good
faith of the nation than to grant spec
ial favors to few big, rich, powerful
American corporations.
