SEEK ROOMS FOR
1000 CORN BOYS
Hundreds of Letters Sent Out to
Atlanta Women Asking Them
to House Visitors.

Hundreds of letters have gone out
of Commerce asking them if they will
entertain this year one, two or more
of the 1000 corn club boys who are
coming to Atlanta the first week of
December
Replies to these letters are expected
to come in beginning tomorrow and
to- continue to come throughout the
week. In the meantime if any who
are DESTROYS of entertaining some of
the corn club boys are too busy to
write a reply on the Enclosed card
a telephone message to the Chamber
of Commerce, Main 796, will answer
just as well. Name and address will
he recorded and the boys sent to the
homes as they arrive.
There is every indication that the
responses will be numerous and gen.
erous. There are about LOCO boys
coming this year, and it is going to
take more homes than were offered
last year to accommodate them.
The boys will be here only three
days at the outside and many of them
only two days. Plans are being made
by the Chamber of Commerce for
their entertainment. They will be
at the corn show, will participate in
the parade and will attend the NOV
ing picture, The Dawn of Plenty"
which will be shown especially for
them
Besides this there are plans to have
some of the Boy Scouts and the older
school boys take them in charge while
they are in Atlanta and show them
around the city.

Big Reptile Knocks Man Down With Tail Loses
Teeth Biting Iron Bars

Old Man Pete Alligator and his six
children are in their winter quarters
in Grant Park Wednesday. after be-
ing subjected Tuesday afternoon IL
the GROWING indignity of their lives
The whole family-Old Man Pete
his daughters. Salome, Delilah and
Jezehel, and his sons, Nebuchadnez-
Ear Doc Cook and Harry X. Thaw
the latter being so named because he
is always trying to get away and
never does, were yanked from their
pool at the foot of the lake, where
they have lain in delicious mud all
summer, and transferred to their win
ter quarters in the animal house.
The children have taken their fate
philosophically, and are lying in the
shade as calmly as they ever lay in
the sun, but Old Man Pete's shriveled
soul is black with hate
Old Pete lost eight or ten teeth
and a lot of energy trying to bite a
chunk out of 4 piece of cast iron; he
has bumps on his body where sundry
persons whacked him with a broom
stick, and his neck is sere because
others threw ropes about him and
tried to choke him..
The only happy moment in an aft
ernoon of torture came when he
swished his tail suddenly and upset
a negro who got too near. A great
hope shone in Pete's eyes when the
negro fell-the blacks head wasn't
two feet from Pete's mouth.
The big gator opened his mouth
until it resembled the crater of an
active volcano. and he started en-
thusia stically to eat some of the dark
meat. Somebody yanked a rope,
however. and Pete was baked.
Crowd Sees the Fun"
The removal of Pete and his fam
lily was fraught with incident, and
provided considerable of a ruction for
a gleeful crowd.
Edward Boyd, who takes care of the
animals at the park and knows more
about alligators in general and Pete
in particular than any other man in
Atlanta, turned off the water and
drained the pool Then, with his legs
incased in high rubber boots. he went
in and chased Pete up the bank. The
little alligators were half-buried in
the mud.
Boyd took Doc Cook by the tail
and flung him over the fence.
A negro grabbed him az started
on a run up the iill the gator claw
ing desperately and trying to emu
late the popular conception of a bull
dog.
1t was the same way with Nebu.
