Boys Steal Melons
Many complaints have been made
OF boys stealing watermelons and
canteloupes. Several farmers who
depend upon their melons for a part
OF their income have suffered losses
from this source. The general I'M
preston seems to be that melons
are public property and belong to
the first person to get them. A few
arrests have been made and more are
likely to follow as the farmers are
determined to put an end to the
stealing.

the house will now follow in the foot
steps Of its companion the
state will be relieved Of a big burden,
both financially and morally.
There is no earthly reason for an
nual sessions OF the Georgia legisIa-
ture. They simply waste the states
money, time and patience They dis
turb business because It is never
certain what kind of legislation may
be introduced and sometimes pass
ed that would serve the state much
better If they were cast into the fire.
But the lawmakers, who are paid to
make law, must do something if they
are in sessions, therefore, they pass
useless laws.
The state now has, as has every
other state in the union, too many
laws on its statute books. Many OF
them are obsolete and utterly ignor-
ed, while others are in reality UNI
known. We can see no use in adding
scores Of others TO the pile of rub
Dish which is fast accommodating.
We trust the house will lose no
time in passing this bill and we are
practically certain the voters OF the
state will endorse such action.

OBJECT
TO PILL
REMEDY

Declaring that physicians at
were experienced and careful, but
that the medicine consisted of
pink pills bought by the barrel
full and handed out to all patients
for all maladies, members of the
Tacoma fire department. today
objected to renewing Il contract
with the sanitarium for handling
the cases of i'll or injured fire
men.
The objections arose when bids
we're opened for the contract to
handle all cases of the firemen's
pension board during the coming
year. The private sanitarium now
has the contract, at flat rate of
70 cents per fireman per month.
Whole Barrel Full.
The firemen tell me that there
is a barrelful of red pills at the
sanitarium, and that they are
given these pills for everything,
whether they have stomach
ache, boils, diabetes, heart trou-
BILE, or what-not," declared Chief
McAlevy.
THE firemen believe they
should get treatment like human
beings. The doctors at the sani-
tarium are competent, all right"
Fire Capt. Hicks of Station No.
3 also told about the red" pills.
Some OF the firemen objected at
the 75-cent rate charged by the
sanitarium, claiming that mills
and railroads were given a rate
of so cents per month per man.
To Investigate.
In his new bid, DR.. Blair, super
intendent of the sanitarium, an
nounced that he would permit
firemen to go to any hospital in
Tacoma, and that he would handle
their cases the same as though
they were treated at his own in
stitution.
A committee, consisting of
Chief Me Alevy, Capt. Hicks and
Fireman Clarke, was named by
Mayor Fawcett TO investigate bids
and draw up a contract.

AUTO HITS
WOMAN AND
SPEEDS on

Police officers, under strict or
ders from Chief Smith, are today
trying to trace the black, enclos-
ed automobile which Sunday ev-
ening struck Mrs. j. +. Parsons,
an aged woman, dragged her 30
feet, and left her lying on the
pavement unconscious, while it
sped on.
The machine was filled with
persons. according to J. e. Zeig-
Ter, son-in-law of the injured
woman, who was with her when
teh accident occurred.
Chief Smith threatens to prose-
cute the occupants of the car
when he discovers their identity,
unless they volunteer to tell the
name of the driver.
Mrs. Parsons will recover, &C
cording to DR.. w. b. McCreery,
but the injuries are serious oe-
cause of her age.
With her son-in-law, Mrs. Par
sons had alighted from a Sixth
avenue car at M street, on her
way to the Parsons home, us NJ.
Crossing the wet street slightly
behind Zeigler, she was struck by
city-bound auto. Her dress
caught in the mechanism, and
she was dragged so feet.
1t was impossible for the oc-
cupants of the machine not to
have seen the accident, according
to Zeigler.
