bringing Up Father'-A carload
of members of the Bringing Up
Father" troupe arrived this morning
for presentation of the great fun-mak-
ing show at the L. & S. tonight. Re-
garding this show, the Mobile Register
says: "'Bringing Up Father" brought
down the house at the Lyric theatre
yesterday, matinee and night. Those
who have noticed the George McMa-
nus cartoons-and that means every
one-knew just what to expect OF a
musical comedy entitled Bringing Up
Father" and they were neither sur
prised nor disappointed. Johnny Jess
was just about such man as Mr..
Jiggs is pictured, though Sadie Duff,
as Maggie, has more of pulchritude
than the wife of Mr.. Jiggs in the car
toon. She failed to pat her foot when
annoyed at her mate, nor did she use
the same qualities of assault and bat
terry that give so much pleasure to

COMMUNITY FESTIVAL TREE
MAKES CITY BEAUTIFUL"

AS chairman of tn civic committee
OF the d.. A. r. Mrs. r. A. Mann has
given unstinting1y of her time and her
untiring efforts towards helping to
make Fitzgerald the city beautiful"
Last summer the grounds of the
courthouse were beautiful evidence of
committees work. For some time she
has ben working faithfully for the
planting of a Community Festival
Tree in the center of our town and at
last her increasingly and untiring eff
forts have been crowned with success,
for the tree is planted. To dig I'D
large tree, place it in a frame work on
a wagon in such way as not to mar
its beauty, and haul it the long dis
tannce of eight miles from Mr. Rea-
son Whitley's farm near Ocilla, was
a tremendous task, but when the pub
lie spirited men of Fitzgerald get in
terested, things do move, even trees.
The following gentlemen gave Mrs.
Majors their loyal support and made
her dream for a \"community tree"
come true. Mayor Paulk, mccarthy

T. Booker, c. Patterson, J. C. Glover,

Special gratitude is due Mr.. Whit

Dor in uprooting it and bringing it in:

Some thirty-five Rotarians met at

had prepared an oyster roast for their
guests. Hon. L. L. Griner, 'boss

the meeting in the absence of the
temporary chairman, J. C. Brewer and
invited expressions from the member
ship on the scope, name and purpose
OF an organization such as was need
ed in the city and one which would be
capable of doing the most good to
most of the .psople. A number of
suggestions we're made, all agreeing
on one poinrgspecially, that was, that
the limited system of the Ro-
Farians was not rxactly practical in
the scsAller cities. On motion of Mr..
Griner, Mr.. L. D. Tisde1 was elected
temporary chairman with L. C. Mont
ague as temporary SECRETARY. Mr. L.
N. Geldert of the State Chamber of
Commerce was called upon to pre-
sent his Facts about Georgia" an ad-
vertising scheme to circulate through
out the country along with the exhi-
bitlOn cars. A committee consisting
of Mr.. w. R. Bowen, L. C. Monta-
que and L. L. Griner, was appointed
to cooperate with Mr. Geldert and Sc
cure space for the city and county.
A motion to go into permanent or
ganization met with some objection
and a committee was. appointed in
stead to secure a larger number OF
representative citizens for meeting
to be held later. The Dixie Highway
inspection tour on March 10th, will be
the next big event for Fitzgerald and

 Learn to hold thy tongue; five words cost Zacharius 40 weeks silence"

 An exceedingly steep flight of steps leading to calamity, is the woman who is no respector of places and moods of dther persons when in these places; she is the woman whose voice sounds un- ceasingly in vibrant whispers in the sanctuary whose comments upon the drama or song or instruments irriates to the last degree; in the theatre, at the opera or concert hall; and twin sister with this sort is the woman who talks ,udly and vollubly for the benefit of el

A woman who talks incessantly-oft recklessly-cannot possibly give much thought to what she says, since her tongue, never being still, wisdom is not there; and the indiscreet word, ofttimes entirely free from malice, is just as un- fortunate in its results as the really ma 1cous one.

in this connection. I suppose the poor man knowing them so well considered them quite hopeless, and with his num- berless wives, he should certainly have been an authority on this subject.
 On the principle that speech is silver and silence golden, the woman of few words is liable to be much beloved of men and quite restful to their nerves; there are sympathy silences between the most congenial of people, that would be hopelessly marred by speech. and the most brilliant takers are those who main- tain long intervals of silence.

in that case, if you do not please, at least you are sure not to tire your lis- teners.'
 There is a time to talk and time to listen, and from no less a source than the scriptures we are assured that he that controlleth the tongue is better than he that taketh city.
 It is a noteworthy fact that in all his- tory there are few instances recorded of anything feminine putting any sort of brakes on speech. Solomon, the wisest of men, showed clearly his right to the title when he left women out of his calculation

The Langshan fowl, according to recognized authorities. is a fowl of Ja- panese origin. Investigators report that it is to be found in it's purity in the Langshan district of China, and is there bred in all the colors with which the American fanciers are familiar-white. black. blue and mottled. Importations have been made by fanciers in Eng land, America and Australia. Although like all Asiatic varieties. the Lang
 shan is noted for heavy weight, it has also made enviable records as lawer. A pen of Black Langshans won the first place in the egg-laying competition in Australia, which was noteworthy per- formance, inasmuch as they were in competition with 99 pens of all va rieties of poultry.
 There is no question but that the aLngshan is most valuable breed for economic purposes. It is very tame

This one-man farm must have as it's foundation stock birds. that have toughness of fibre eyes that gleam like diamonds, muscles and nerves and bones capable to resist the utmost testing The weakling must be given no quarter. Native stamina, first, last and all the time, must be sought in every breeding bird. Nothing short of 100 per cent mark in vigor should pass bird, either more or female, into the breeding pen. This is of primary and utmost importance among the things that make for success.
 2. Mastery of the minutest details of the business. It's the small thing that beats the poultryman. A laying hen is like delicate musical instrument. It requires
 but slight influence to get her tout of tune" Two thousand laying hens out of tune from one slight neglect once week may mean the loss of hundreds of dollars during the year. Dairymen know the meaning of such talk as this The ra-

 schemes must be considered. The train of progress in the business, as in other
 business, is moving rapidly. From 1500
 to 2OO0 fowls can be handled by one man, if he's on his job with the aid of one cheap helper during the matching and breeding season. But a true American
 will cultivate vision of larger things. Ten man farms and 20-man farms may be found in large numbers now. The fright sort of vision, with we'll grounded success to back it up, will add man to the business now and then. Such an out look twill make for success"
