have laid 1888 eggs in AZ weeks.
The average hen lays about 70
eggs a year.

May Go On Into Mexico

If no factioual leader in Mexico
assumes authority for the numer-
GUS bandits who have been raid
ing in American territory and
finding safety on the other side
Of the border, why should not
the United States be within it's
rights if after chasing a band of
raiders il Texas troup Of caval-
ry followed them into Mexico?
Is it right that Mexico should be
used as safe base and hiding
place of such murderous bandits
as have made it necessary to line
the border with soldiers?
Col. Blocksom has reported the
presence on the Rio Grande of a
band of 500, which is more near
ly an army than band, as
armies go in Mexico. Perhaps
200 American soldiers could han
die them, but fight with them
would almost certainly result in
the killing and wounding of
Americans. 1t is desired not
only that no more raiders shall
cross into American territory,
but also that no more bullets
shall whistle across the border.
If no Mexican leader will sup
press the bandits and there is no
indication that their depredations
can be stopped without more
vigorous treatment by American
troops than has been administer
ed thus far, none of the various
Mexican governments could con-
slider it a hostile act if American
troopers and artillerymen gallop.

THE PRICE OF GASOLINE
There Is Something Rotton
About ."--Atlanta Constitute n.

The present retail price of gaso-
line in many points in Georgia is
causing much hostile comment and
protest. Here is Fitzgerald the re-
tail price is II and zoe per gallon.
In Atlanta, 16c; Kanaas City, CSC;
St. Louis, CSC, Chicago, 99c.
The following excerpt from an ed
itorial in the Atlanta Constitution
of recent date lets the cat out of
the bag" when it says:
The inevitable conclusion is not
only that it is wrong, but there is
something rotten about it.
we could conceive of differ
ence, perhaps, of one cent a gallon,
or thereabouts, as being due to the
difference in freight rates. 1t could
not possibly be more.
But when other cities of this
country are getting gasoline at 6 to 81
cents less than Atlanta consumers
are required to pay for it there is
no ether answer except that the
companies dealing in gasoline, all of
them, are studying their communi-
ties and putting upon them every
possible dollar they can corkscrew
out of them.
We concede and readily tolerate
the slight difference in the price of
products due to differences of
freight rates. No community takes
Issue on that point. But there is no
reason why the price of gasoline,
sold at different points in the Uni
ted States. should vary any more
than does the price of cotton, the
price of corn or the price of oats.
If wheat sells in Chicago at 81 a
bushel it sells in Atlanta at ST a
bushel, plus the difference in the
freight rate.
That is all very we'll and good;
we pay it willingly. But if flour
sold at SIS a barrel in Chicago and
SO a barrel in Atlanta we would
know the reason why.
The answer of competition at
other points will not suffice, for
there is the some here, or else the
Sherman law is still being grossly
violated at certain points throughout
the country.
IF gasoline can be sold at a profit
in Chicago at 81 GEMS (and we take
it, unless there was a profit in it, it
would not be sold) then the people
of Atlanta are being swindled to the
extent of S to 6 cents on every gal
Ion sold here, making full allowance
for the freight rate difference.
We repeat, it is not only out
wrong, but there is some
thing rOttOn about it.
1t is we'll worth the attention of
our congressman"

Preparing for Big Fair

From reports received, the
Georgia. Florida fair at Valdosta,
beginning Tuesday, the 10Th of
October and running until Satur-
Gay night, the 23rd, is going to
surpass any fair ever held in that
live little city.
The management Of the Val
dosta fair, believing that the
future success and advancement
of farming in this section de-
ponds largely on diversity and
especially better stock, has made
the live stock department-hogs
and cattle-the leading feature
Of the fair, and have succeeded
in securing nearly 500 of the
finest hogs of all the popular
breeds for exhibition and sale,
and have a herd each Of Short
horns, Herefords, Angus, Red
Polled and Devons, beef cattle,
and a heard of Holsteins and one
of Jerseys. These cattle are
from the finest herds in the south,
and there will be a number Of
each offered for sale.
The poultry show will occupy a
special building and is the only
official show of the American
Poultry Association in Georgia.
Birds that have won the first
honors at Nashville and Memphis,
Tenn, and other large shows
this season will be exhibited, and
a very large number of chickens
from all points in Georgia have
been entered.
We are informed that the agri-
cultural exhibits will be unusually
large, eight counties having en-
tered, including a Habersham
county apple exhibit, and no
doubt the rivalry between these
counties will result in some mag
nifcent displays of farm pro-
ducts.
Attention is called to the ad-
vertisement in this issue which
gives some idea of what the VAL
dosta fair will be this year. 1t
seems that the opportunity to in
spect the greatest variety and
number of hogs and cattle ever
offered will be at this fair, and
we understand that auction sales
of this stock will be conducted
under the supervision Of the fair
association.

excitement. A dismal howl was set up,
then followed the campaign songs of
the organization. The voices sounded
high-but not sweet. And Judge J. w.
Anderson, who was holding court in the
large court room, became annoyed. His
patience exhausted he stepped to the
telephone and called the jailer.

Jatler McDougali carried the orders
to the militants. They laughed and
told McDougall to come on in and make

Dougall had laid three or four of their
leaders out, the general rank fell back

PERMANENTLY DANISH SALOON
Senator crist Appeals For Support Q
Law and Continuance Of Prohibition.

+ Law ana N0USlnudnCe OF SToUIUSiOus
Special to metropolitan.
Des Moines, April 12.-Senator L. p.
Crist, of Clarke county, in an address
at the Grace NJ. e. church took an
advanced and positive position regard
ing the temperance question in Iowa.
1.-THE saloon has been, during the last
few years." he said, rapidly diminish-
ing in numbers in Iowa and on Jan.
1,\1916, it will be banished from the
state, and it seems to me that in JUS
tice to humanity and our civilization
we should not allow it to come back.
Any political propaganda to attempt to
restore the saloon to Iowa should be
looked upon with disfavor. To hold
out hope of return to the saloon in
terests would only embroil the state in
an improbable controversy and lead
to conditions much more intolerable
than they otherwise would be. Even
tho some might not have been in favor
of the repeal of the so-called mulct
law at this time, yet the sensible and
manly thing for us to do now is to
stand by the new law.
LAS member of the house and as
member Of the senate. l have sup
ported all of the measures which have
tended 20 limit the influence of the
saloon and finally the measures which
provided for it's Punishment, and in the
future I shall do all can to keep the
saloon out Of Iowa. The question Of
all men in public life upon this ques-
ton should be definitely known to the
citizens of the state, SO that there may
be no misunderstanding upon this very
important issue as to whether they ia
vor standing by the present new law
or the enactment of some law au-
thorizing the return Of the saloon to
