RULES OF CIVILIZED WARFARE
Conclusion That There "Ain't
No Such Thing"

One beauty about the rules of civ
ilized warfare is that they can be
revised at a moments notice. An
other new feature is found in tho
facility with which their meaning
can be reversed by little judicious
reading between the lines. The Cleve-
land Plain Dealer suggests that per-
haps the following list will explain
just what is meant:
1. Before bombarding a town it is
considered humane TO give the nom
combatants time to leave. This
doesn't prevent the aggressive party
from first dropping a few bombs
from an airship on to the crowded
streets.
2. If hospital roof gets in the
way of falling bomb the blame at
taches to the careless persons who
left the hospital in such an exposed
position.
3. If a villager fires a deadly
weapon at an attacking party the
laws of reprisal demand that the en-
tire village be burned.
4. If one man calls another a spy
the supposition is that he is-unless
evidence can be secured to the con-
trary, such evidence usually coming
too late.
3. The rules of civilized warfare
as understood by the other fellow are
all wrong.
6. The term civilized warfare is a
misnomer-there amt no such
thing.

Are In Strong and Increasing
Demand.

Pugnatious beef cattle, equipped
with horns, frequently do great
damage to each other en- route tc
the packing house, and the evil has
become so great that horned beef is
of considerably less value on the hoof
than polled stock or the hornless
variety. The great annual loss fror,
such causes moved the Kansas Board
of Agriculture to investigate the
subject. 1t was found that hornless
or dehorned animals are of about 10
per cent higher market value when
feeding in the pasture, because they
are less liable to injury in trans
portation. Their carcasses average
IL cents hundred more, or about
81 more head, writes contributor
in the Technical World.
The great packers are aware OF
these facts from their own economic
standpoint and have encouraged the
production of hornless beeves.
Breeders of normally horned types
have been in quest of polled speci-
mems, and this has gradually result
ed in the creation of hornless varie-
ties of Shorthorn, Hereford, Hol-
stien, Jersey and even Guernsey
breeds. This is accomplished by |
the use of born polle1 sire or dam
Of the particular breed, phenome-
ION that occasionally appears.
One of Christian county's foremo
farmers and stock raisers, Robert H.
dcGaughey, of Newstead, is abreast
# the times in this regard and has

AGAINST SENDING
HORSES TO WAR,

Atlantic City, N. j., October s.

being sent to be slaughtered on the
battlefields of Europe stirred dele
gates from various societies interest
ed in the prevention of cruelty to
animals at yesterdays session of the

Association. Mrs. S. j. Won Hoe
sen. of Plainfeld, N. j., declared
that it seemed ludicrous to spend
thousands of dollars for the proven
ton of minor injuries to horses here
vvhile thousands are being shipped
abroad to endure much greater suf
fering.
G. A. H. Scott. of Chicago, said
that a party of Englishmen are in
Chicago buying horses for the Brit
Ssh army, while other delegates told
of reading accounts of the purchase
of horses by representatives of other
European powers. President Still
man declared that cit is our business
TO get the facts and force the gov
eminent to act if these things are
true"
Protests also were made against
the action of state health authori-
ties who have closed public drinking
r.roughs as a precaution against the
spread of CHAMBERS. Delegates de-
c. ed that there was no danger Of
the d sease in that manner.

He IS
AID Of RACE
GAMERS
Saloon Man Posts $500 for
Charity if Connection With
"Bookies" Is Shown.

Backing his words with certified
check for $500 which he offers to char
lty IL any Of the charges against him
are proved true. Charles c. Jones
well-known sporting man and owner
of the Rex saloon, Monday defied
Chief of Police Beavers and Chief OF
Detectives Lanford to substantiate
any of the intimations that he had a
part in a plot of bookmakers to swim
die Atlantans.
Beavers and Lanford would crawl
on ice from Atlanta to New York for
the privilege of finding some evidence
to show I was breaking the law" says
Jones in a letter to the editor of The
Georgian, which reads as follows:
Atlanta. Ga. Jan. 26, 1914.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Sir-I regret having 70 ask You for
space in which to make a state
ment regarding the publication
relative to me made while | was
in Charleston last week.
Scores Two Chiefs.
At the outset wish to say that
any statement that | am, or have
been, connected in any way with
gaming In Atlanta for the past
seven years is absolutely untrue.
Through my efforts at times to
help my friends, in and out of pol
tiles, have brought upon my
self the enmity OF two men con-
nected with Atlanta's police de-
-. ,-NA hot I
profited by any political move
rnent I'm Atlanta, but Instead have
reaped the hatred of these men.
To be plain. these men are Chief
Beavers and Detective Lanford.
The fact that they had TO wait
until | was out Of the city to try
to make 1t appear that / was
gaming is proof that they knew
that there was nothing against
me. Beavers ard Lanford would
crawl on ice from Atlanta to New
York for the privilege of finding
some evidence to show was
breaking the law.
They have tried TO make 1t APP
pear that was wiring informa-
ton here Immediately after the
races in Charleston, so bookmak-
ers could fleece the public. To any
man who has the slightest under
standing of racing this is known
to be impossible. But many of my
friends and patrons do not know
this, and It is for their benefit !
am writing this. But, to go step
further than a denial from me, !
make this offer.
] will give $500 to any charity
you may name II the records of
the telephone companies will
show where I called Atlanta at
any time, or IL the records of the
telegraph companies at either
Charleston or Atlanta will show
where | sent any Information to
Atlanta after the running OF
race.
Sends Check TO Back Claims.
II I was violating any law.
Beavers and Lanford would not
fail to take advantage OF the fact
as this attempt to hurt me with
the public plainly shows.
Ny customers are among the
best men in Atlanta. | cater only
to that class, and they know the
care | take to keep my business
absolutely free from any bad In
f1uence.
This last attempt of Beavers
and J4aHford is sven below men
OF their ideas of right and wrong.
Ny certified check for $500 ac-
companies this communication.
Yours truly,
CHARLES G. JONES.
