RECORD CORN YIELDS
MADE BY THE CLUB BOYS
FROM 80 TO 200 BUSHELS TO THE
ACRE ARE GROWN By CAREFUL
METHODS OF CULTIVATION.

Forty members of the Boys Corn
Club, of Culpepper county, Virginia,
made an average yield of 6S bushels

what smaller than in 1914, due to

S5OO.OOO.OOO STORED
IN THE DENVER MINT
WEALTH Is GUARDED BY But
FEW MEN, But THE VAULTS
ARE ALL EXTRA STRONG.

DENVER, Colo.-The largest sim
gle gold supply in the world-abOut
$500, geo, OOO-has just been locked
in the vaults of the Denver mint.
The vaults that hold this enormous
wealth are among the strongest and
with most intricate locking and time
devices in the world. They are con-
sidered burglar and bomb proof.
CONTRARY to expectations the great
wealth in the building visited by
thousands annually as a point of in
terest to tourists is not guarded by a
large number of armed men. few
old soldiers, political appointees, are
practically in charge of the building.
In an emergency hardly corporal S
guard of powerful, armed men could
be raised in the mint Immediately.
But the strength of the vaults and
their inaccessibility gives the officials
charged with responsibility for the
half billion dollars no worry. The
government accepts all gold offered
at the mint. The price is fixed at
$20.67 a fine ounce. 1t has not tuct-
uated in years. The same price rules
all over the world.

GAME LAW PROVIDING No
PENALTY DECLARED VOID
HIGH COURT GIVES DECISION
RELATIVE TO SHOOTING DOVES
OVER BAITED FIELDS.

That portion of the state game law
which prohibits the shooting OF doves
and other game birds over baited
fields carries no penalty for violation,
and consequently convictions for VIC
lation of the law are null and void,
according to a decision by the court
of appeals, recently handed down, IN
the case of Jake Weaver, who was
convicted for the offense in question
in Taylor county superior court at
the April term, 1915.
Weaver's lawyers moved for a new
trial on the ground that the general
assembly, in amending the act in
1912 failed TO provide penalty for
particular offense. Judge S. p. Gil
bert overruled the motion, and the
case was appealed.
On examination of the language OF
the act Judge Russell, chief judge OF
the court of appeals, finds that the
act really provides no penalty and
that the exceptions OF tHe dIIoIney
for Weaver are we'll founded. Ac-
cordingIy the judgment of the trial
court is reversed.
In discussing the case Judge Rus
sell remarks that it was undoubtedly
the intention of the general assem-
bly, to provide a penalty for shooting
over baited fields, but that no pen
atty was provided, and criminal stat
utes must be strictly construed.
Charles S. Arrow, state game war
den, states that the effect of the de-
cision will not be to allow shooting
over baited fields, since the hunting
season has closed and there is a gen
eral act prohibiting the killing OF any
game after the close of The season.
The general assembly will meet be
fore the next season opens, and Mr.
Arrow has no doubt the error in the
law will then be corrected.

WIVES PLAY BRIDGE,
HUBBY GETSLONELY
Atlanta Women, Say the Men, Are
Gambling for Money, and Rather
Play Cards Than Eat.

ATLANTA husbands and
fathers, too, are complaining that
auction bridge is taking up so much
of the women's time that the hus-
bands are widowed and the fathers
never see their daughters except at
meal time and sometimes not then.
Wife used to sit at home while nus
band played 10-cent ante, but now
husband sits at home while wife is
out playing bridge at a quarter OF a
cent a point.
The women were never very crazy
about bridge until they began to gam
BILE, and now, so they say, they had
rather play bridge than eat.
Only few years ago the preach
ers used to tell the female members
of their fiocks what a sin it was to
compete for prize given by the host
ess consisting of cut glass bowl or
a pair of silk stockings. Now the
women have stopped fooling with
prizes they don't want and are play
ing for money, while the preachers
admit that they can't cope with this
new form of amusement.
