When Uncle Gregory saw all this
his face broke out in smile, and we
could see his appetite roll up its
sleeves,
"In this" the doctor began again,
holding up a turkey wing on his fork,
'in this we have cold-storage tur-
key which has been treated with OK
alic acid and chloride of potassium
to keep it in a shivering state"
pardon me, DOCTOR exclaimed
Peaches Indignantly, 'but it isn't a
cold-storage turkey, because it was
sent me as a present by some friends
on Long Island only this morning"
'Possibly," went on Caterpillar
Charlie, "possibly my hurried diagnosis
was at fault, but we can never be sure
about these things, because here, on
the elbow of the wing, I find traces of
calisthenic acid over the membranes" ;"
"No, thank you," said Uncle Greg
ory, 81 never eat turkey, it gives me
the heartburn" And the poor old
guy struck such a note of hunger that
I wanted to throw that doctor out of
the window.
BY this time several others at the
table were becoming more of less i'm
pressed, and the dinner party was be-
ginning to assume the cheerful as
pect of a meeting of martyrs an hour
before the arena opened.

tatoes,' whispered Uncle Gregory
after the pangs Of hunger had beaten
him to the ropes.

potato was grown in the fall of the

alum water to give it the appearance
of being modern, while it's eyes have
been treated with belladonna to make
them bright and snappy."
Uncle Gregory groaled. pathetically

"Ah," said the doctor, "then in that

elusive that q great deal Of artificial
frappe has been used, nevertheless"
"No, thank you," said Uncle Greg

"Take this coffee, for instance"
chortled the doctor, juggling spoon

COURT HOUSE NOTES

Ones true estimate of supreme hap
piness is wildly set forth this morn :
ing. OF course, the court house is
officially closed by virtue Of it being
the sabbath-but perchance, you meet
q county official who is unopposad in
the primary on March 18th, he will be
thankful that there was such day as
March 4th, and that day passed Satur
ay.
Although it was felt almost assured
that no candidates would enter the
race after the apparent crisis had
been reached about two weeks ago.
Still the anxious bench was kept
warm-for as long as their was an
opportunity for candidate, there was
certainly a chance.

Oh your business on the Sabbath day,
you may as well take notice and be
warned that you shall not always do
thus, When the good ladies of our town
take up the fight for Sabbath observ-
ance, you may rest assured that some
thing will be doing" Let's encour-
age the good women in their demand
for law and order in our City.
When the women are given the right
to vote (and this day is Lot far dis
tanD, we will understand better than
now, just what the trouble is. as to the
enforcement of the law in our city. If
the ladies have knowledge that the
Sunday law is being constantly violat-
ed, isn't it strange that the officers
charged with the duty, yes, sworn to
uphold the law, do not see these viola
tons of the Sunday lows. 1t may be
that, because of our desire to fully OBJ
serve and obey the law, our Officers
of the law" stay at home and go to
church and Sunday school on Sunday
and otherwise Keeps the Sabbath Day
Holy"
If the Sunday laws are being violat-
ed as was indicated in the resolutions
adopted by the ladies, there is trouble
with the machine somewhere. There
must be a elak in the valve, or the
spark plug burned out, or the current
is short circuited. There is trouble
somewhere. The machine won't run.
Will some good friend show us the
trouble.
Some of these days, Mr.. Editor, if
you will permit, we will say a few
words about respect for law. We want
to look up the matter and see Just
what it is, then we will write you
again. OBSERVER

Thrift Moves
Begin By The
Duma People

PETROGRAD, March A COM
rnittee of members of the Duma have
begun a thrift campaign and are
urging the government to support them
by prohibiting importations of luxur-
les and by using every means in its
power to turn the stream of unfruitful
expenditure into the channel of ma
tiional war effort.
The committee urges that the rail-
ways should cease to carry anything
hut the necessaries of life, and pro-
tests that flowers and mineral waters
have in some cases been given prece-
dence over flour and coal. The Min
iStry of Railways has just announced
that passenger traffic on the i:2s som
Petrograd to Moscow will be stopped
for week in order to allow the ac-
celebration of freight and war traffic.
An increase in the tax on theatre
tickets is olso being urged, although
the tax already amounts to about 25
FER cent Of the price.

Trying for Infeld.
Among the infielders trying for the
team are: Bolton, last years man;
Andrews; Chambliss; R. Rodgers; M
Rodgers; Brown, an Alabama boy who
played third base for the Midway
(Ala.) High School team; eBlcher, an
other Alabama ball tosser; Morgan /;
Henry Lumpkin and Owen Poole.
So far nothing has been said of the
outfield, but it was not because they
did not deserve to be named among
the first. Coach Hoist is of the opin-
ion that he never coached such a
promising bunch of outer garden
artists. Arnold McGillis win be back
this year at his old position in the
outfield; Walker, Conner, Merritt,
Allen, Smith, Davenport, Clark, Ter
relI, Webb, and Frank Harold are
some more candidates for the outfield
who'll make things hum.
In all, twenty-five young players
are trying for the team which it
is hoped will land the state school
championship for Americas Every
10y on the squad seems to believe that
the success of the entire team rests
on his shoulder and they are determ-
iued to do their best for the school,
but most of all he hopes to help

Editor Times-Recorder:
Observer took few days off to Let

what we SOW.
A few days ago. there appeared in
your columns copy of a resolution
adopted by the ladies of several
churches calling attention to the grow
irg disregard of the Sunday law in
our city. The law of Georgia, as well
as the law of economy forbid that we
STALL pursue our calling on the Sab
bath day. 1t is just as much a viola
ton fthe law for one to carry on his
business on the Sababth day, as it is
to gamble, steal, rob or kill, but of a
different grade of offence. AS to all OF
these the law declares 'it shall be un-
lawful" thou shalt not"
When those who are carrying on
their business on Sunday decided or
concluded that they would do so, did
they think; did they consider If So
the gerater the condemnation. 1t is
then nothing short of a wilful determ-
nation to disregard the law, and to
violate it. Observer is unable to
make up his mind that our merchants
who keep open on Sunday, would de-
literately conclude to violate the law.
Oh; that our people would think

dies had good ring to it, and Mr.

AS to the finances, the authorities in

support from them this season. be-
cause it seems certain that the city

High school means to have out good

will be proud of and one ON which
their school can depend to produce

But to return to the practice we have
only to say that the boys conduct
themselves in manner that would
surprise some of the players who
hold that it takes some time to drive

Other kilograms are from sheriffs
asking whether they shall enforce the
