PUBLIC MULC7ED OF MILLIONS
Use of Mails to Be Denied to Fraudu-
lent Schemes. Authorities Inaug-
urato "a Drastic Campaign.

WASHINGTON.-Loss of $129,-
100000 in two years by the public
through swindling operations carried
on by use of the United States mails
has stirred the postal authorities to
a drastic campaign against fraudu-
lent schemers. Wholesale use of the
governments right to deny the mail
ing privilege to persons or firms
whose operations may be tainted with
get rich quick and other false
promises is the weapon to be en-
ployed.
An effort TO stop this swindling by
reliance upon criminal courts has
proved ineffective, according to w.
H. Lamar, assistant attorney general
for the postoffice department, whose
annual report was made public.
Criminal proceedings are neces-
sariIy slow" said the report, "and by
means of appeals and other methods
the executions of sentence are deferr-
ed for long periods, during which the
concerns and individuals engaged in
such fraudulent business continue to
reap a harvest through their fraudu-
lent enterprises In some instances,
the penalty being merely a fine, there
was nothing to prevent the parties
from continuing their schemes, ex-
cept fear of subsequent fines. These
they could easily afford to pay in
view of the large revenue derived
from the business"
Mr. Lamar points out that Q fraud
order Immediately cuts off the course
OF supply Of funds upon which the
scheme largely depends for its con
tinuance and puts many prospective
victims on their guard.
Postmasters throughout the coun-
try, the report says, daily ask rulings
on various lottery schemes, which
cause the department no end of wOr-
ry Numerous concerns located
abroad continue to mail their adver-
tisements of foreign lotteries into the
United States.

CHERO-COCA ELECTRIC SIGN
Has Been Erected on Top of Garrard
Building, and Is the Largest
Sion III Columbus.

The current has been turned on
the large Chero-CoIa sign on top OF
the Garrard building, and it attract
ed more attention probably than any
sign that has ever been erected in
Columbus.
1t is the most expensive sign that
has ever been erected in Columbus,
costing $500. 1t contains about
1 900 incandescent lamps and is Wis
ible for quite a distance. In add
ton to the above things that have
been said about it the large Chero-
Cola sign is perhaps the most unique
that has ever been erected in the
city. The design Of the sign is some
what as follows: At the highest
point of the sign there is a full bottle
of Chero-Cola emptying into a glass,
which is overlooking, while under
meath the bottle and glass are the
words "Chero-COla." Just under
meath these words is the trademark
of the company, which says, There's
None So Good"
The sign is erected on the front
end of the Garrard building on top,
and is forty feet by forty feet. The
building from the sidewalk to the
bottom of the sign is something like
fifty feet On top of this the sign
is forty feet high, which makes the
top of the sign ninety or a hundred
feet above the sidewalk
The Chero-Cola people have dis
played an enterprising spirit in erect
ing such a handsome and expensive
electric sign. It shows that they ap-
preciate the value of an electric sign
as an advertising medium, and they
also show that they do not hesitate
in spending money when it comes to
placing the merit of their goods be-
fore the public. The sign is one that
will attract attention for years to
come, not only from Columbus peO-
pie, but to visitors to the city, for
there will be few people who ever
visit the business district, either day
or night. that will not see it.-Co-

NEWS STORIES FROM STATE CAPITAL

ATLANTA.-"Uncle jim" Wood

wisdom without frills. His horse
sense very frequently solves prob

chiavellan political acumen is stump
ed A case in point came up this
morning. The city has created an
office of purchasing agent. Under
the arrangement it becomes his duty

library are considered as city sup
plies. Now the purchasing agent is
a business man and not i literary
man. The point was Immediately
brought out that this purchasing
agent didn't know what books the
library would need, and probably was
not in a position to find out. Miss
WoOtten, the librarian, whose duty
it has been to buy new books and
who has been given a free hand,
felt that she ought to be allowed to
continue to exercise this prerogative.
The city council library committee
saw the sense of what Miss Wootten
said, but feared that it would not do
to establish a precedent and that ex-
ceptions would have to be made in
other departments. No solution sug-
gested itself. Mayor Woodward was
consulted.

Let the Birds Do II.

Last year. according to figures
compiled by the Department or Agri-
culture, the farmers of the United
States lost 1925, 100000 through
the depredations of insects. Much OF
that loss was suffered in the South,
and recently James Henry Rice, Jr.,
field secretary for the National Asso-
citation of Audubon Societies, which
has its general headquarters IN New
York city. went to Atlanta to estab-
lish Southern Headquarters TO- mis-
organization. Mr.. Rice says insec-
tivorous birds in Georgia consume
more than 10000 bushels of in
sects a day Deprived Of the birds
protection it's fields and orchards
would become a desert.
These figures given out by the
Agricultural Department do not rep
resent all of the loss entailed by in
sects, however. Many more millions
of dollars are spent in the campaigns
fighting insects, and these eXpendi-
lures are logically losses caused by
insects. Massachusetts is spending
100000 year fighting the gypsy
and brown-tail moths. 1t is COM
batting them with fire. axe, sprayed
poison, and creosote, and still many
hundreds of fine old elms in Massa-
chusetts are falling each year, and
other valuable vegetation is dying,
because of the insects activities. The
same kind of campaign against 9TH
err insects is being carried on in a
score of states at heavy expenditure
and with pitifully small results. The
Audubon societies urge that the most
valuable and successful campaigners
against destructive insects are birds,
and the argument is getting more
game protective laws and a heartier
popular support.

The Greek Christmas.

Atlanta.-The celebration of the
Greek Christmas, which, according
to the calendar of Julius Caesar, fell
on Wednesday, disclosed the fact that
there are now more than 1000
Greeks in the city of Atlanta, many
of whom have become naturalized
American citizens, and practically all
of whom are prosperous and law
abiding adopted sons Of the new land.
The Greeks, who came here first as
candy makers and fruit vendors, are
still prominent in those lines and in
the restaurant business, but they
have branched into almost every line
Of commerce. Some of them are
even engaged in the real estate bus
ines. A score or more of them have
become rich, and the well-to-dO men,

Last Years Lynchings,

There were fewer lynchings in
1913 than in any other twelve
month period in many years.
The number was "A as compared
with so in 1912 and $50 in some for
mer years. Nor was the horrible
savagery of burning at the stake per-
petrated.
OF the A persons lynched all but
one were negroes, and two Of the
lynchings occurred in the North. The
states north of Mason and Dixon's
line in which there were lynchings
were North Dakota and Montana.
Georgia and Mississippi each had
eight lynchings, while Texas was a
close third with six. The murders
of white persons and crimes or al
legged crimes against white women
were the chief causes of the summary
executions.
The decrease of that species Of
lawlessness known as lynch law is a
wholesome sign of the times. 1t in
dicates a growing respect for law
and order that cannot fail to be graf
flying to those who believe in order
ly, but sure, punishment of crime by
the courts of the land.

\ TRUE STORY WITH
A STRIKING LESSON

From the Southern Cultivator
In Pike county, Georgia, near Zeb-
ulon, lives a farmer named E. H.
! Baker. He is a very clever, cOnserV-
atiye man in all his ways. He, like
most of our farmers, rents out most
of his land and reserves a small area
for his "own CROP as they call it..
| He has had his pet patch for years,
where he would put out the stable
manure and use guanO a little more
literally than on the rest of the farm.
Here he would gather a bale of cot
ton per acre and thought he was do
ing mighty good farming" to get
this yield, and this is good work.
Mr.. Baker had an acre of land a lit
tie the worse for wear" near the
house, and he decided four or five
years ago to put it in bur clover. He
succeeded in getting a good stand,
and from year to year it would re-
turn again to give him something
green during the winter for the pigs,
COWS and chickens. Mr.. Baker saw
it come up each September and die
down in May. He didn't set much
store by this bur clover. He did not
realize what it was doing for the
land. He thought the little green
grazing he received each winter was
all there was to it. This past spring
he decided he would add this acre
to his cotton patch. The cotton
came up and grew off fast and soon
outstripped his highly MANFRED area
When picking time came he gathered
his bale per acre all round. Then
his pet patch" was through, but the
bur clover acre only half done. Mr.. !
Baker says he was never so surprised
in his life as he was to gather two
bales Of cotton from this single acre
of land. Continuing he said; Il
wish l had bur clover over my whole
farm"
Now, the lesson is nearly all our |
farmers want to make big yield or
cotton. They go out to find some
agency, some costly gu
ano or nitrate of soda to do the work
for them. This planting a tiny seed .
in the fall to grow its beautiful deep /
green leaves during the winter to
catch the nitrogen from the air and
fix it into the best form of plant food
and store it in the soil from year
to year. This process is entirely too
simple. too natural and too wonder
full for them.
Now, why strain yourselves TO 90
big and costly farming when you |
can employ natural agencies like pea
vines. velvet beans, soy beans, bur |
clover. red clover, crimson clover,
and all the legumes to silently do |
the work for you, make a fair return
in the crop itself and add to the fer
+ilitv of your soil, so as to actually
make larger yields than over-stimu-
lated areas. Quit trying to do some
big thing" and get down to farming
according to the laws of nature.

Addison wrote:

Another Inquiry,

At last, it seems, something def
mite is to be done to deal with the
production of meat in this country
necessarily one of the ruling factors
in high prices. The government has
appointed a committee of investiga-
ton.
One of the interesting features of
the committees labors will be an
inquiry into the economic possibility
of communal cattle raising and the
establishment of local or municipal
abattoirs. These questions have
aroused considerable interest recent
~, the consensus of opinion being
apparently in favor of such expert
ments. And the committee is also
expected to provide the people of the
country with the whole truth about
the packing industry since its incep-
ton. Such an extensive reference in
the case of the packers may not be
quite a necessity, but, at any rate,
it will give those people with good
memories an opportunity to compare
the verities of any particular year
of the last thirty with the cold print
of the government report of 1914.
