HALF FARE ASKED FOR
CHILDREN ON ST. CARS
Judge Morris Asks Railroad
Commission to Order
Fares Reduced

Judge N. A. Morris, of Marietta.
has filed a petition with the state
railroad commission requesting that
the rule prescribing that steam roads
shall transport children under five
Years of age free and children
between five and twelve years OF
age at half fare be made applica
bic to the Atlanta Northern Rail-
way, an interurban trolly line run
ming between Atlanta and Marietta.
Ae hearing on Judge Morris petit
tion will be held by the commission
on March 9th. The commission has
previously held that the rule pre-
scribed for steam roads does not APP
ply to interurban trolley lines, and it
has also approved the rule of the
Atlanta Northern Railway Company
which allows children under three
years of age to travel free of charge
when accompanied by an adult and
which requires children over that
age to pay full fare. However, the
commission will hear Judge Morris
arguments as to why change
should be made.
In his letter to the commission
Judge Morris says 81 think | can
arrange to fill the state capitol full
of mothers and daddies of children
on the day of the hearing to help in
the fight, if it will do any good,
and / might bring a carload or two
of children as exhibits on the steam
railroad, hoping that we may get
such rate fixed as will enable us to
bring them back home by the electric
railroad, full Pledged competitor

Do NOT BURN corn
STALKS SAYS CREEL
They Are Good Fertilizer And
Children Should Stay
In School.

1t is to be hoped that the farmers
OF Cobb County will quit the practice
of stopping their children out of
school to cut and burn corn stalks.
1t is not only too bad for the children
to miss this opportunity to get an
education, but they are destroying
tons of the very best fertilizer ma.
terials obtainable.
Each community should get to-
gether and buy good stalk cutter
and keep these stalks on the ground.
A good stalk cutter in each commun-
ity would be worth it's cost each year
and properly cared for will last
many years.
Suppose you had your fertilizers
for the year out on your farm and
some youngster should play out of
school about two weeks seeking an
opportunity to burn these fertili-
zers. Then suppose he burned them.
What would you think of such a
chap? l fear that many of the chill
dren of today will bring just such
charges against you if you don't let
these children go to school and make
these corn stalks serve the good pur-
pose which they will if you will only
let them. You are robbing the soil
of its fertility as we'll as these chill
dren of an education.
