ANYONE WANT TO SELL A BABY
FOR A DOLLAR?
The city of Chicago has babies for
sale.
But they are baby bonds, not baby
children.
Mrs. Cole UngeT, Sturgis. Mich,
didn't get the thing quite straight in
her head. Yesterday a letter came
into the city cOmptro1er's Office from
Mrs. Unger saying she understood
babies are selling for 81 each in Chi
cago." She added: 81 would surely
like a nice baby at that"
Louis E. GosseTin, deputy city
comptroller admits he is stumped. He
is thinking of rounding up a nice,
cute, little feIla that hasn't any home
to send up to Michigan and Mrs.
Unger.
The baby bonds are sold in $1OO
denominations instead of for $1,000.
The later price made the bonds
bankers paper" This price was too
high for the man of small income,
who was forced to put his money in
bank at 3 per cent and let the banker
who could buy the big bonds collect
the profit on his savings.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Gress S. Ed
ison, of St. Louis, has been ordered
released from the federal penitentiary
at Leavenworth, where he has served
five years of an eight year sentence,
when it was shown that the bank note
he was convicted Of counterfeiting
was not United States currency.
Edison was arrested in st. Louis in
1911 and convicted of having in his
possession a counterfeit of a bank
note issued by a Savannah, Ga, bank
in 1857. Recently habeas corpus
proceedings were instituted to secure
his release on the grounds that the
note of the Savannah bank was
state issue and not United States
money at all. L. S. Hervey, federal
district attorney, yesterday reported
to Federal Judge Pollock that the
contention of Edison's attorneys was
correct and his immediate release was
ordered.

COON HUNTING BE
GOOD IN GEORGIA
Reports Indicate Season Will Be Live

Some Notable Catches.

This is going to be great coon
hunting season in Georgia. Reports
from all sections of the state indicate
that for some reason there are more
coOns running about at night than in
any fall for ten years, and already
some large ones have been caught.
Bob Watkins and his son Of Sugar
Valley went to Snake Greek Gap one
night last week and bagged four big
coons. returning the next night and
capturing five more, making nine in
two nights, which is a record for that
part Of North Georgia.
Henry Jones and King Roach also
caught several coons while bear hunt
inc with a pack of hounds near Car
tiers. They got other small game, but
no bear or VeniSOn.
Roy Thompson of Cordele was
about to catch the largest coon ever
seen in that section when he fell out

COFFEE MADE OF SAWDUST

Writer in Magazine Thinks 1t High
Time to Enter Kick.


Modern science is responsible for
the delicate condition of many of our
children" says a writer in Cartoons
Magazine. Before the advent of the
milch COW as an efficient wet nurse
our babies were reared by specific
means provided by nature. To soci-
ETY. this proved too great a burden,
so the cows daily supply vas drawn
upon and her own veal forced TO
seek sustenance at the bran pail.
The hens attention was likewise
diverted from her own kith and kin
by the cold-hearted inventor of con-
trivance called incubator which
snatched from her maternal duties
and broke up her coy domestic life,
separating her so far from her brood
that she can no longer recommend
them as toothsome broilers and brOil-
erettes. SteriliZed pigpens have also
robbed the juicy bacon of its old
time charm.
IF the war is an impeachment to
scientific progress, then we certainly
needed war to bring us back to moth
er earth. ! can stand most anything,
but when coffee is made of sawdust
and graduated sugar of sand and
butter of soap grease it's time for
someone to enter a lifesize kick.

NHLADY'S JEWELS; HOW AND
WHY OF THEIR BEING WORN
Rules Laid Down by Authority of the
National jewelers. Association.

Rules Laid Down by Authority OF tne
National jewelers. Association.
There are certain hard and fast
rules, laid down by no less an aggre-
CATION of authorities on the subject
than the National Retail jewelers.
Association, for the wearing of jew
elry. Everybody knows, Of course,
that it isn't considered good form to
wear diamonds in the day time, but
there are other offenses just as grieV-
Gus in the eyes of one who has been
taught how and when and where to
and not tO-Wear certain kinds Of
jewelry. For instance, if you would
be de rigeur, you must not, if you are
a woman, put on a necklace heavily
studded with large stones of any sort
in summer.
When a woman wears a tilmy
gown she ought to have on jewelry
that is filmy, so to speak. Dainty
pendants or cavaliers of fine plati-
mum web are proper. The reverse
is true of winter when the decree of
Jewel fashion calls for something
heavy and substantial to match the
clothing. The fewer rings in summer
the better. A narrow platinum
band-gold for jeweled adornment
has gone so far out of fashion that it
is now seldom seen, by the way-set
with one or two stones, preferably
diamonds or a diamond and an en-
erald should suffice.

FIRST POINT WON
BY THE DEFENSE
In the Americas Bank Case Lambdin
Grants LoWrey's Petition Asking
For Bill of Particulars.

MACON, Ga.-The first skirmish
in the case of the indicted officers OF
the Americas National Bank, charged
with wrecking the institution, was
won by the defense in the United
States district court here today, when
a petition by Attorney Dupont Guer-
ny, for Mathew Lowrey, one of the
bank officials, asking that the gov
eminent be required to file bill of
particulars, was granted. Judge
Lambdin ordered the bill of particu-
lars as to two counts in the indict-
ment filed.
Charges Are Vague.
Mr.. Query contended that the
charges in the Indictment were so
vague and general that it was impOs-
sible for his client to provide prop
er defense. He set forth that the
charges involve the handling of hun
dreds Of transactions and that many
of them have now passed from his eli
ent's mind. As a result, he said, his
client might be unable to explain
many legitimate transactions unless
given an OppOrt unity to refresh his
memory in regard to them.
In ordering the bill OF particulars
Judge Lambdin also ordered that the
defendants be allowed access to the
books and papers now in the posses
sion of the district attorney.

ALL REVENUE BILLS
EXCLUDED BY CALL
THE PROPOSED TAN ON COLAS
AND SOFT DRINKS Is NOW M
POSSIBLE UNTIL 1916.
LONG FIGHT is THUS AVERTfD

At Extra Session of the Legislature
to Convene Next Month. To Make
the New Prohibition Law Effect
i've on January list.
ATLANTA. - The extraordinary
session of the legislature to meet on
November 3rd cannot, under the
wording of the call by Governor Har-
ris. deal with any revenue raising
measures.
Fight Was Assured.
There isn't a doubt of the fact that
if the soft drinks tax measure had
come up it would have brought on a
long and hard fight and that it would
have taken up a good deal of time.
The construction which has been
placed upon Gov. Harris call, how
ever. .is that revenue measures of all
sorts are shut out. Neither local nor
general revenue bills will be consid-
cred. If any such are introduced, and
effort is made to have them consid-
cred on the ground of pertinence to
the main subject of prohibition, the
opinion of LAYERS of the general as
sembly on both sides is that the pre-
siding officer will have to rule them
out of order.
Reduced Revenue.
The only chance which the state
and the cities affected will have to
L., thpA11O
additional measures will be at the
regular session next summer. In the
meantime if the prohibition measures
which the legislature is expected to
pass at the extra ordinary session
should go into effect on January list,
1916, the state and cities affected
would be shut out Of any supplement-
airy revenue for an entire year. En-
actment of the prohibition bills TO
go into effect with the beginning of
the new year would mean the imme-
date loss of that revenue, while there
would be no possibility Of making it
up except under new laws enacted the
coming summer, and these could not
be made effective until the beginning
of the year following, or January LIST.
1917.
In any event, therefore as the re-
suit of the failure to include revenue
measures in the extra session call
years revenue will be lost
Plan of Radicals.
What the extremists are working
for is the earliest possible date for
closing the near beer saloons and
locker clubs. They are going to try
to make it January l, 1916 or with
in a few weeks after the probable en-
actment of the laws. Through the
vote of the conservatives, combined
with the outright opponents OF these
measures, it is possible comprO-
mise date may be agreed on. Some
figure this as about April /, 1916.
This would give the state and cities
about three months of their present
revenue, with a loss of nine months
of it, and that upon mere chance OF
getting something to take its place.
Notwithstanding the general opin-
ion that no revenue measure can be
considered under the governors call
it is anticipated that a number OF
them will be introduced if for no
other purpose than to fix the respOn-
sibility for such loss of revenue as
the state and cities may sustain by
reason of such measures as may be
enacted.
