ANTI-SOFT DRINK
BILL INTRODUCED
Representative Findley Would Re-
quire Written Consent to Sell
Persons Under FL.

ATLANTA.-The most drastic
piece of legislation that has been pro-
posed at this session of the legisla-
ture is a bill by DIR. A. w. Findley'
of Floyd, which seeks to prevent the
sale of certain soft drinks to any
body under 81 years of age without
the written consent of the parent or
guardian. 1t is one of the shortest
bills introduced in the house, its en-
tire effect being in one paragraph. as
follows:
"Be it enacted by the general as
sembly of the state of Georgia, and
it is hereby enacted by authority OF
the same, that from and after the
passage of this act it shall be unlaw-
full for any person, firm or corpora
ton to sell, or furnish, or cause to be
sold or furnished, to any minor under
the age of II years, any beverage
containing opium, cocoa leaves, or
any compound, preparation or deriV-
ative made therefrom, without 1rst
obtaining the written consent OF the
parent or guardian of such minor.
DR.. Findley, the author of the blu,
is one of the best known practltlon-
ers of Floyd county.

OKLAHOMA BECOMING ONE

Only Five States.


Oklahoma is becoming one of the

California has now to be taken into

acreage last year $4,000. This year
it is estimated at between 10000

In the City Of Philadelphia There Are
More Rich Men Than In Chi
caao or Boston.

Last year four men in this district
paid a tax on incomes Of over 81 ,000,-
900, remarks a writer in the Philadel-
phia Ledger. Seven others worried
along on from $50O,O0O to $1,OO0,00O.
Philadelphia and this suburban terri
tory had IT'S persons whose incomes
exceeded 100000. In England and
Scotland combined there are only 300
persons whose yearly income exceeds
$4,000, but Philadelphia and these
eight neighboring counties had SOC
persons enjoying incomes Of that size
last year. Now that 20 per cent gain
about which Collector Lederer in
formed me will likely advance about
200 more persons into that $4,000 ex-
elusive set. We reside in one of the
very wealthiest spots on earth. Why,
there are nine states in the Union
which do not have solitary individ-
ual with an income of even 100000,
No wonder they favor high tax on
big incomes!
Collector Lederer also told me that
Philadelphia has many more very rich
men than either Chicago or Boston.
Those cities, however, show a large
number of men earning fairly big SAL
aries. All Massachusetts is in the Bos-

was the whole world. Already he felt
the yearning with which his heart
must henceforth turn to Its sole desire.

stared back at him. To his mood it

Peach Outlook Poor.

Washington. = Present indications
point to wheat crop 3O0,O0O.0O0 bush
els smaller this year than that of last
year. Department of Agriculture fore
casts indicated a winter wheat crop
of 469,000,O0O bushels, 30,00O,0OO bush
els less than forecast from May con
ditions, due largely to insects in Kan
sas and Oklahoma, and spring wheat
crop of 246,00OO00 bushels, due to de
crease of per cent. in the acreage
from last year and to the late wet
spring.
Crop conditions on June 1 indicated
less production than last year of small
grain crops, but they promise to be
about the same as the average produc-
ton for the last five years.
Fruit crops as whole are good. The
apple crop prospect is promising, espe
cialiy in the Eastern States, but the
peach crop outlook is rather poor
Indications are that the oats crop
will be about 30O,OOO,00O bushels small

At first Alan had stood stunned by
the words In which she had poured out
her overburdened heart, but as Sue

dragged her hands from her face.
