GOOD PRIZES FOR
CORN CLUB BOYS
Especial to Times-Recorder1

ATLANTA, Ga, June Ito encour-
age corn growing in Georgia State
Treasurer W. J. Speer has personally
offered $500 in gold to be divided int,
two prizes of SIS and $25, to the Geor-
gia boy who raises the best single
acre of corn this coming season.
The offer has nothing whatever TO
do with Mr.. Speers official connection
with the capitol, but is dictated simply
by his personal wish to encourage
corn raising. The first prize will go
to the biggest acre and the second
prize to the next biggest. The awards
will be made through the state de-
partment of agriculture.

MIRACULOUS CURE

him, Private Pointer of the London
Rifles, spent whole night in the
general hosital at Lincoln talking to
himself. He feared to lose it if he did
not keep it up, yet he did not want to
call out to the night sister for fear she
might faint. So he waited until the
attendant came around with lis morn
ing cup of tea, then remarked: "Shove
it down there, old chap" For this he
was showered with the tea by the agi-
tated attendant.
Pointers case had been of interest
in the hospital, as a case of loss Of

POLYGAMl FOR GERMANS
At END Of BIC WAR
(By Associated Press. J

BERLIN, June THE suggestion,
already preached in some quarters, of
a serious consideration of limited
legalized polygamy to replace the hui
man material destroyed by the pres
ent war is by no means new. The
Frankish Achieves, published in Ans
bach in 1890, contain an official pro-
tocol of a meeting of the "Kreistag"
or local diet held at Nuremberg on
February IA, 1850, in which was con-
sidered the problem of replacing the
men lost through the Thirty Years
War and also through sickness" The
protocol reads:
"Inasmuch as the unavoidable needs
of the holy Roman Empire require the
replacing of the men totally lost
through this bloody Thirty Years War,
and those incapicitated by sword,
sickness and hunger, and that it shall
in the future be equal to meeting all
its enemies, and particularly the here
ditary enemy of the Christian name,
the Turk, and that all means, ways
and methods shall be considered,
Therefore, upon ripe elaboration
and consideration, the following three
