MES Law Violation.
az AssocrArEn pprss

Augusta, Ca, Nov. 30.-The Wat
son case went to the jury at 6:38 to-
night after Judge Lambkin in his
charge stated that the questions to be
decided were whether the language
cited was obscene, lewd, lascivious or
filthy" as charged.
The judge also told the jury the
questions of the truth of the articles
was not at issue.
The Jam was so great when the
court inem opened tho afternoon ssss-

sages in question came from Roman
Catholic theologicans of several CEN
turtles ago. It had been explained by
the defense that it consisted of admo-
nitions for priests to make at the
confessional.

There is a so-caIled cold storage

New Jersey and Connecticut. They
believe it easy to evade state laws by
holding the goods m one state until
Just before the time to release ex-
pires, then shipping them to another
state"
He says the federal government
should regulate cold storage houses.
Thrift clubs to reduce the living
cost are to be organized in the Ma

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. s0.-Southerners
paid more this year than ever before
for edibles commonly found on a
Thanksgiving dinner table. The aver
age increase could NOT he demonstrate

came reports of higher prices for
nearly everything. Although figures
of turkeys had jumped from 5 to 10
cents pound in different cities, there
was no concerted action in the south
