singing the plantation melodies and
French ballads learned in her child
hood, is today the heroine of the Druid

some brilliant entertaining during

sisted by Miss Bacon, charming
dancer, helped entertain the guests.
Never has the Druid Hills club
held such successful series of enter
tainments. Not only were all of At

among the guests were visitors prom
inently socially from almost every

HOG CHOLERA \
REDUCED IN PR|l

ATHENS, Ca, Jan. lit is aIy
nounced at the College of Agricultuan
here that the price of hog cholerf
serum has been reduced from $1.Ops
per one hundred cubic centimeters to
IS cents per one hundred cubic CEN
timeters. This is the lowest price, !,
is claimed, at which any state manu-
featuring serum, has ever offered 1t.
Extraordinary, efficiency and effort is
required to make good serum at this
rrice, but it claimed that the work
at the serum plant has been so well
organized and, such rigid economy is
enforced as to enable the institution
to put out the product at the low fig
ure. Large quantities of the serum
will have to be made to make it pos
sible to maintain this low price but
there is believed to be demand Gre
ated by the county agents and gov
eminent agents in this state, that
will insure the necessary consump-
ton of the large output.
Data recently collected from farm
demonstration agents by the College
shows that during the year 31,055
hogs were treated by agents with SER
um where the cholera had broken out
in the herds. Of this number 94.54
per cent were saved. Of this number
1890 hogs were sick with cholera
when treated though serum is not
recommended as a cure but as proven
tive. OF the sick hogs Sc per cent re-
covered. These facts are being cir
culated by the College to show the
efficiency of the serum method of
treatment and the efficacy of the
serum made at the state plant at
Athens.

Colcodo 5 Prohibition Low
Became EHectiDe On Jan.
1st and is Very Stringent

brought to prevent Denver autnorlt~
les from issuing saloon license to
August Koch, extending beyond jan
uary 1, 1916.
Counsel for the state argued that it
posed authority to enforce the con-
stitutional and legislative prohibition
enactments and that cities operating
under special charter had no more
right to adopt legislation in contra
1ention than they had to provide PEN
alities for murder or other crimes.
Attorneys for the city held that the
charter, granted by the legislature,
gices the city authorities peculiar
powers with reference to liquor sup
eIvision as well as other matters of
nlunicipal government.
Prior to the filing of the suit, OPP
ponents of prohibition filed with the
Secretary of State petition seeking
to submit the prohibition penalty law
to a referendum at the next general
election. Secretary John E. Kramer
refused to accept the petition on the
ground that it contained a safety
clause proviso STIMULATING that
the measure is necessary to "the i'm
mediate preservation of the health,
peace and safety of the commons
wealth. Under Colorados initiative
and referendum law the safety
clause may be attached to any bill,
ard was designed to prevent referen-
dlms. Secretary Ramer was upheld
in tn district court in mandamus
proceedings to compel acceptance of
the petition and this was appealed to
the supreme court.
! On December 6, the Colorado SUI
pI eme court, in an unanimous opinion
written by Chief Justice W. H. Cab
bert, held the authority of the state
supreme to enact and enforce state
wide prohibition and that cities oper-
ating under special charter govern
n'ent were without legal authority to
