NEWTON COUNTY
FARMERS BUY
REGISTERED CAT TIE

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 20.-(Special.) y
According to Dr. Peter r. Bahnsen,
state veterinarian, in charge of ( the
tick eradication work for the Georgia
state department of agriculture, the
interest in raising high grade beef
stock for the market is increasing
steadily in these counties, now free
from cattle tick. Only last week a
carload of registered Hereford cattle
was imported into Newton county, for
breeding purposes, and this herd has
been distributed among the livestock
owners of that county.
Newton county was only released
from the cattle tick quarantine in Sep
TENDER of this year, said DR.. Bahnsen
at Tie CdplIOl JOdoy, S1AAu AAAA1S0AetSSAJ
after the ban was lifted the livestock
swners in that county got together
and bough a carload of registered
Hereford cattle for breeding purposes.
These will be distributed and soon
fine beeves will be shipped into the
markets from that county which will
command top prices.
With high grade beef stock being
brought into Georgia for breeding pur-
poses there is no reason why Georgia
should not soon produce more beef
than this state can use. With Georgia
free from cattle tick, this state is GO
ing to take the lead in cattle rails
ing and millions more of wealth will
be produced.

He SUES TELEPHONE
COMPANY BECAUSE
PHONE BELL RINGS
EsID 1T EVER HAPPEN TO YOU!
SURE! IT'S HAPPENED TO ES.
ERYBoDY

Purvis, Miss, Dec. 1S-T. E. Saltec,
an attorney, has sued the Cumberland
Telephone company for $4,000 because
they rang his phone bell. It's a good
thing that the case will go on trial be
fore calm court, instead of being
voted on by biased telephone subscrib-
ers
Salter decided that his home was
complete when he added to its conven-
FENCES by having a handsome telephone
nailed to the wall of his front hall.
He soon made the sad discovery that
all men make. when they put in tele-
phones that they always ding at just
the wrong time.
Salter would sit down to the table
the telephone bell would ring, and h ;
would have to answer it. If he was
reading book, the jarr.ng notes IF
the insistent bell would interrupt him
at the crisis in the heros life. If he
wanted to take a nap after dinner,
the bell would see that he was foiled.
At all times of the night phone calls
would rout him out of bed.
All this was bad enough, but Salter
stood it. At 2 o'clock one frosty
z morning recently, the merciless bell
OF the phone dragged him shiyering
out of his slumber
"Hello!" said Salter savagely.
Hello" said the sleepy feminine
voice at the other end of the wire, SIS
this 364?"
"No!" choked Salter. This is 346.'
Mere words failed him and he could
only smash up the offending receiver.
But after that he filed suit. The gem
eral impression about Purvis is that
:. Salter is altogether too mild in his
demands.

Our circulation in Americas and immediate vicinity

We have also adopted new system of weekly

sides, a big fight will be preeipitated
over the disposition of the vast water
power which will be created by the
building of dam. 1t is for Congress
to decide whether it is to be held by
the government as public property or
whether it will not be restricted.
What is all this about? What is
Hetch-Hetchy? Very few of us know.
San Francisco has petitioned Congress
for permission to use one-eighth
of the Yosemite National Park-part OF
the Hetch-Hetchy Valley-for mu-
nicipal water supply reservoir. Ma
ture lovers and admirers of the mag
nifcent scenery out there oppose this
grab" They allege that its use as
a reservoir will destroy the beauty Of
the valley. The House Committee on
Public Lands favors bill granting the
city of San Francisco the right to
construct dam in the Hetch- Hetchy
Valley in California, which will i'm
pound the Overlooking waters of the
Tuolumne River for its municipal
water supply.
1t is claimed that the present water
supply of San Francisco is made
quate and that the city is on the verge
of a water famine. Water, in fact, is
the one vital question there. Eminent
engineers have been unanimous in their
recommendation of the Hetch-Hetchy
Valley site. This has been supple
mented by a favorable report of Fed
eral experts, such as Coils. Biddle, Tay-
lor, and Cosby.
1t is granted by those who favor
the plan that a reservoir and dam
would destroy one of the most re-
markable pieces of scenery, which is
the property of the whole nation Zone
eighth of the magnificent valley is to
be flooded, and that if another equal
ly as large a supply could be made
available it would be unjustifable thus
to spoil one of natures grandest works
But there is no source comparable
TO Hetch-Hetchy. The San Francisco
men, of course, knew this and they
justify their demand with the asser-
ton that the needs of large popula-
ton are greater than the claim tina,
scenic beauty would be destroyed.
The bill is based upon the chief prin-
ciple OF conservation, that municipal sup
ply is the best use to which water can
be put.

round Of all the shore stations Of the
United States naval establishments, exe

As the fleet goes to the Mediterranean

By Trolley Across Panama.

1t has been in the thought of many
in recent years that something would
be done in the Canal Zone toward
bringing the great waterway, on its
completion, under cheap, comfortable,
and popular inspection of tourists.
Sailing through the canal. of course,
will be possible for those who desire
to take the water route.
But the great majority of those who
visit the Zone in future will not have
time to take the water trip, even if it
is made available to others besides those
carried by seagoing vessels. The Pan
anna Railroad is competent to handle
excursions to all points, but it is de-
signed for other than sightseeing pur-
poses. Engineering problems of con-
siderable magnitude would be involved
in the construction of a trolley line

there would have to be wide detours

the natural course of events it will
develop new business and call for ex-
tension. 1t is TO such growth as will
come from the increase OF Panama's
commerce and population, in connec-
ton with similar growth at the At

lishment of winter resorts between the
