AlCAzAR NO. | HAS
THE RUNNING FIGHT"

Violet Heming with satr cast will
play in 1.-The Running Fight" at the
Alcazar No. Monday.
Violet Heming, you know, of
course. The youngest star on Broad
way is indeed a beautiful and attrac-
tive girl and an actress of quarry and
experience.
Under the management of the late
Charles Frohman, when Miss Meming
was but twelve, she played "Wendy"
il Peter Pan. After this she was cast
as Rebecca in "Rebecca of Sunny
brook Farm"
Miss Heming's successes are al
most too numerous to mention.
Then there is Thurlow Bergen.
During his brilliant stage career he
has played at being Governor in ten
States and Congressman represent
ing three of them. Mr. Bergen was a
lawyer at nineteen, possibly this ac-
counts for the fact that he makes
such splendid Governor in the
Running Fight"
Robert Cain as District-Attorney
is also an actor of vast experience.
w. T. Carlton, of international OPP
cratic fame, needs no introduction to
the public except in the fields of
moving pictures. He appears in the
Running Fight" as Colonel More
head, the lawyer,
Robert Cummings, too, has had a
stage experience which makes him a
valuable member of the cast, having
been in many original casts and in
many feature pictures.
In theatrical career covering over
fifteen years, George Pauncefort has
been under the management of Shu-
bert, Chas Frohman, Brady and other
leading managers. He plays the part
CT Giles Illingworth with great abil-
ity.
'The Running Fight is a picture
tnat you must not miss if you desire
ar interesting story filmed in an ex-
ceptionally clever manner.

SAFE AND SANE.

Instead of writing an editorial our
self on that famous topic, "a Safe
and Sane Christmas" we are present
ing for your consideration the follow
ing gem from the Macon News, and
yhere you find Macon substitute Amer
icus:
The announcement of the plans for
the presentation again this year of the
Christmas carols points the way to a
better and altogether more approprf-
ate observance of the day by the peo-
PIE of Macon.
Why not have a safe and sane
Christmas?
So much is urged in favor of safe
and sane Fourths of July, but, so far
as the people of the South are con-
cerned, they should be directed TO
make their Christmas celebrations of
that character.
City councils are now prohibiting
the general discharge of fireworks,
which has not only been nuisance
since the time the custom was begun
but also an eXtravagant waste and a
dangerous form of amusement.
The banging of crackers and torpe-
does and rockets is not typical of the
Christmas spirit 1t is not, in fact
an appropriate Christmas method OF
celebrating at all
And, for that matter, this business
OF drinking excessively of intoxicants
at Christmas is not at all necessary.
Some people drink at Christmas rs
though the particular season furnish
ed the excuse, who drink little, if at
all, at any other period of the year.
This year there will be the march of
the Christmas carol singers-a pro-
gram which has become identified with
Macon and which is growing in beau
ty and popularity, but at the same
time, it indicates different and i'm
proved way of celebrating Christmas.
1t more reflects the true Christmas
spirit
Let's make this safe and sane

Hog Killing Pointers
Or. w. M. Burson, Veterinarian, Geor.
gia State College Of Agriculture

Give hogs water but no feed for a
day before killing.
Bleed the hog with an eight-inch
straight-bladed knife.
Be sure bleeding is done before
scalding or the skin may be left too
red.
A heavy blow with an axe between
the eyes will stun the animal before
sticking.
The meat may spoil if the animal
is excited before killing, or the wealth
er is warm afterwards.
Scrape as quickly and rapidly as
possible after scalding. The cold car
cass is hard to scrape we'll
Bleeding will be finished more quick
Fy if the animal lies on a steep slope
with it's head down hill, or is suspend
ed by hind legs.
Keep the hog moving in the barrel
If the animal is left pressed against
the barrel the hot water cannot get
at that part of the carcass.
Scraping is easier if a shovelful of
hardwood ashes, lump of lime, some
concentrated I've or handful of soft
soap has been added to the water.
Use thermometer Do not attempt
to scald with the water at above $50
degrees. A good scald can be obtain
ed at 140 degrees but it takes longer
In opening the carcass, split the
pelvic bone between the hams with a
knife by cutting exactly in the center.
To open the breastbone with knife
cut a little to one side of the center,
but do not let the point of the knife
get behind a rib.
Heavy hogs should be split down the
backbone so as to allow thorough cool
ing The leaf fat should be removed
while the carcass is warm.
On very heavy hogs the shoulders
may be cut off and laid ON table to
cool.
See that all meat is thoroughly cool
ed before putting in salt or brine.
If you wish directions for cutting,
curing and lard and sausage making,
apply to Veterinary Department, State
College of Agriculture

CLEANING UP farm
KILLS CROP PESTS
J. Phil Campbell, Director Of Exten-
sion, Georgia State College
OF Agriculture

According to entomologists, the prac-
tice of cleaning up the farm in the
fall and winter means the destruction
of crop pests that go into winter quar-
ters in edges of fields, on banks OF
streams, sides of roads, terraces and
all places where vegetation is left UNI
disturbed.
The entomologists say that certain
plants left on the terraces or around
the edges of the field is to encourage
the existence of the red spider. Also
that some other weeds foster the
bud worm beetle and other insects
that do damage to useful crops later
on. These same authorities have found
that the corn stalk borer which caus
es "windfalls' of corn, makes his win
ter habitation among the roots and
stubble of the corn plant. Likewise,
the corn ear worm stays from two to
two and half inches below the sur
face in the corn and cotton fields
where the soil is not disturbed.
The boil weevil, of course, winters
over in weeds and rubbish on the
farm to some extent, and it is of
greatest Importance in holding this
greatest enemy of cotton in check, to
clean up all of it's hiding places on
the farm.
No better time is to be found for
fighting insect enemies of the farm
than in the winter, when, by killing a
few, thousands of their offspring will
be prevented from coming into exist
ence later on.
Fall blowing and winter cover crops
get rid of most of the insect pests of
the field. This, with the cleaning up
of the terraces, fence corners, banks
of streams, ETC., constitute preventive
measures that mean much in saving
of crops later on.
In view of the fact that southern
soils require great deal of vegetable
matter one of the methods of helping
to meet this requirement, while at
the same time combating the weevil,
is to pick cotton early, cut down the
stalks and turn them under before the
first frost. This stops the food sup
ply of the weevil and stops the propa-
cation of some of them.

Areas amounting in the aggregate
to 1913 square miles and situated in
the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Lou
isiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and
Virginia, will be freed from the tick
quarantine on December 1. Previous
releases bring the total for the years
work to about $4,000 square miles
the greatest area released in any one
year since systematic tick eradication
was begun in 1906. At that time there
were TAI, 515 square miles under quar-
antine; after December 1 there will
be 65,733, or less than two-thirds of
the original area.

NECESSITY FOR US.

The pig must be made the back
bone of the South.
Cotton has been shown up to be the
weak product which the South puts
on the market.
The pig is our hope.
1t is urgent that the hog cholera
serum be used judiciously, carefully
but surely. The Savannah Morning
News has the following editorial:
There would be far less occasion for
talking about the drift of power from
the states to the government at Wash
ington if the states would attend to
their duties as they should. Since a
duty implies a right, it is not surpris-
ing that when they fail to perform
their duties the states risk the loss of
some of their rights. 1t seems a far
cry from states rights and states
duties to hog cholera but it is fact
that great deal of the work of
stamping out cholera has been and is
being done by the United States gov
eminent, when it could have been
done by the states. There seems to be
disposition to 'let the govern
ment do it," in an increasing number
of instances A great many things
that many folks think should be done
would not be attended to unless the
federal government did them, and
that no doubt is the reason why it is
so easy for it to acquire power at the
expense of the states.
1t is worth noting, however, that
in some Of the states, as in Georgia,
lOI eAdlipiS, lIlS 5Ihtc 5ofel hAA0hI 10
doing a big share of the fighting
against hog cholera. All the states in
which the disease is carrying on its
destructive work, should at least lend
aid in the fight, for according to the
estimate of Secretary Houston of the
department of agriculture the cholera
causes a steady annual loss of no less
than $75,0O0,000 1t would require but
fraction of that amount to manufac-
ture serum and inoculate hogs and in
short time eradicate the disease.
Georgia, now that she is turning
her attention more than ever before
to hog raising, should certainly see to
it that the cholera is not found in any
of her territory after next year. To
accomplish that much-desired end
will require more than appropriations
CT money for the fight; it will require
the cooperation of every hog owner
in the counties where the disase this
var has been taking heavy toll
