THIEVES ROBBED
COUNT TRY NEGRO
CHRIS TMAs coin
CID GAME OF sDR0P THE POCKET
BOOK.

One hundred dollars in horribly cold
| cash was the Christmas find which
Robert Robinson, a worthy old negro
who lives on the Gatewood plantation
near Americus, gave I'D to a brace OF
negro crooks who worked successfully
tie old and threadbare drop the pock-
| etbook. This old game has been
worked for years, and the bait"
catches a sucker every time it is put
over.
Robinson was walking near the post
Office, when two black scoundrels IN
front of his picked up, as he thought,
a pocketbook. They asked Robinson
If it was his, and upon opening it
revealed to his astonished gaze a $500
bill Confederate money!.
"As you saw us find the money, one
third of it is yours, if you will let us
have $100 to put with it, making three
parts of 5000 each" they told Mr.
Gatewood's cotton maker. Robinson
is well-to-do and seeing clean pick
up of $100, he commended the two
strangers for their honesty and kind
ness, and gave them the $100 desired,
i'll order to make an equal division of
$500 for the trio.
Robinson was told to wait on the
postoffice steps until the two sharpers
could get the $500 bill changed. He
readily complied, but after vainly
waiting three hours for their return,
the deluded darkey reported the af
fair to Chief Johnson. But the birds
had flown, of course, and Robinsog
will not enjoy the coming of Chris
mas as he might have done. The
threadbare trick had been worked sue
cessfully.
Fakes and frauds of this kind are
common now all over Georgia, and the
uninitiated are biting like satfisA
would at a baited hook.

President Wilson brought forth por-
tests from some members Of the Hen

to sign the resolutions, saying it
would be unpatriotic to do so, and
said they would leave the party when
Europe was reached.
A message was sent by wireless t.

no intention of intruding, but pointing
out that the sixteenth month of war
had brought no good, and requesting
an immediate truce to discuss terms

Great Work is Done.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. ia
suggestion made by DR.. Charles w.
Eliot that the Southern Commercial
congress drop the word Southern
from its title to broaden its scope was
presented to the opening session cf
the seevnth annual convention of the
congress here today in the annual ad-
dress of its president, Senator Fletcher
of Florida.
Our name Southern has not limit
ed us in any manner to narrow our
field of work" said Senator Fletcher.
"As our slogan reads, so has our et-
fort been to help create A Greater
Nation Through Greater South DR..
Charles w. Eliot in expressing his re-
gret that he could not be with US to-
day, makes this suggestion, which del
egates may consider
Since the commercial and fnan-
cial interests of the southern, north
ern, western and eastern sections Of
our country are now well-nigh iden-
teal, would it be possible for your
meeting this year to take steps toward
dropping the word Southern" in the
title of the congress Would not that
lie st ap toward greater efficiency ami
influence"
Senator Fletcher, in recounting the
deeds of the congress, declared that
its greatest work, perhaps, had been
for agriculture. At the same time, a
definite service had been rendered for
education, for public health, for i'm
provement of rivers and harbors, for
development of water power, estah-
lishment of new industries and direct
lg settlement in rural districts.
I'VE have stood for the fullest de-
velopment of all the various resources
of the South" said the president. "We
have not merely talked, written nj
published articles about them-we
have done things that count nightly
N a practical, definite way"

WASTE BASKET MADE NEW
Small Touches Rejuvenate Receptacle
So That 1t Is Again an orna-
ment to Room.

When the old wicker waste basket
has become yellowed and SCARED with
age it can be beautifully and easily
rejuvenated by tight covering of col
ored silk or lining, and then a second
and top covering of crocheted lace.
The round waste basket does not
agree very readily with the applica-
ton of crocheted lace, but the square,
octagonal or paneled waste basket can
be readily fitted up in this manner.
Crochet panels of lace the width and
length of each side of the basket
First haste each separate panel, thus
erocheted, to the basket, through the
wicker, and then proceed to whip the
panels together with white thread and
an ordinary sewing needle, Bind the
top and bottom of the basket with
ribbon to match the first layer of ma
terial used upon the basket and place
a not-too-large bow at the side. The
color used in making the basket
should, of course, match the color
scheme of the boudoir or bedroom for
which the basket is intended

SLEEVES MAY BE REPAIRED
Made Prettier Than II Was at
the Beginning.

If you have a kimono-sleeved waist
most likely it has torn under the arms
in the way that those sleeves have
from the strain. A patch on such
tear shows too much to be allowable
on a dress for nice wear, and the fol-
lowing plan makes a good substitute
for the darn or patch. Cut the sleeve
on top, down the center from the neck
to the wrist; now insert in it some
sort of appropriate trimming, such as
silk band If this is two or three
inches wide it widens both the sleeve
and the waist just that much, and so
makes sufficient fullness to allow for
a deep seam under the arm where
the soil or tear has been; and 10, the
waist is not only mended but dressier
than ever if there has already been
an insertion or lace set in along the
shoulder and arm line, wider piece
may do the work.

SAN JOSE SCALE PEST
Insect Is One That Attacks Prac-

Lime-Sulphur Spray Is Best for

The San Jose scale has been written
about, spoken about and studied about
until it would seem that there is but
little necessity of continuing this fight
in words. But when one sees the grad
ual spread of the scale in sections
where but little measures have been
taken to fight it, they realize that too
much preaching has not yet been done
upon the subject. This insect is one
that attacks practically all fruits
everywhere On badly infested limbs
1t appears as grayish scurf, made up
of hundreds of thousands of insects
The young individual scale is not
larger than half the size of pin head,
round and black. Its dangerous nature
is learned very soon after one has to
contend with 1t. This one insect has

The odd feature is the belt, which is
an extension of the right side of the
coat. Starting from the neck. the
overlapping right side resolves itself
into a slanting five-inch band that
curves gradually into the belt. The
end is pointed and brought around to

CHANGE IN CATTLE RAISING
Small Herd, Well Fed on sIlaae, Will
Make More Profit Than the Az

The use of silos In West Texas has
brought about an entire change in the
cattle raising of that territory. Men
who have always controlled large
herds of cattle are learning that the
small herd, we'll fed on silage, will
make more profit than the average
range COW.
One special feature that they dem.
onstrated last winter was that of cut
ting out the weakling calves and feed
ing them on silage through the winter
One man had 1870 head of these runts
and when he turned them on the range
this spring, they were much finer than
the average range calf which had win
tered with its mother Many COWS. the
mother of calves, do not furnish
enough nourishment for them. and by
placing them in a lot and feeding ST.
lage through the cold winter months
these calves can be made to pay a
good dividend

Worth is employing gabardine and

he is using great deal of charmeuse

OLD IDEAS TO BE REVIVED
For Home Decoration Crochet Work
and Netting Will Be Favorites
of the Future.

Lace assumes more and more an i'm
portant place in the domain of home
furnishing 1t is so important that up
holsterers have to employ lacemakers
and are obliged to make lace purchases
on a considerable scale
Among other things, pianos and win
dows are draped with lace, leaving
room for legitimate upholstery to come
afterward. All styles are available.
The Renaissance" combines with lace
of quite modern origin. And, combin-
ing with all and second to none in
fashion or effect, is the old-fashioned
crochet. The present taste for crochet
denotes a remarkable revival in this
kind of thing
Another revival besides it, and max
ing common cause with house and
especially drawing room decoration, is
