CORN LIQUOR
HOUNDS THE LATEST
A Species Peculiar to Atlanta Noted
For Distance They Can Smell
Drink of Whiskey.


ATLANTA-The new breed of dogs
known as Cheer hounds" which have
been perfected in the city of Des
Moines, Ia, for the purpose of hunt
ing down blind tigers, ETC., haven't
got a thing on the corn liquor
hounds right here in the city of At
lanta.
The difference between the beer
hounds of Des Moines and the corn
liquor hounds of Atlanta is that the
former walks on four legs, cannot
talk and are denied the satisfaction
of a drink when they run their prey
to earth, whereas the corn liquor
hound of this vicinity>is two-legged
creature which can speak the English
language when occasion demands,
and he never fails to regale himself
with a drink on catching his prey.
The beer hounds of Des Moines
work in cooperation and conjunction
with the police authorities of that
CITY as an aid to law enforcement,
while the corn liquor hounds of At
lanta have nothing in common with
the hateful minions of the law.
Des Moines beer hounds may be
able to smell a cold bottle of "Old
Style" farther than corn liquor
hound of Atlanta can scent a pint OF
the stuff that makes you fight your
daddy, but one thing is certain, he
won't get to the beer any quicker
than his Atlanta contemporary Will
ge to the liquor.

UNCLE COMPLETES
BIG WIRELESS PLANT
San Diego Station Another Link in
Chain Connecting Washington
and Philippines.

The chain of five links in the long
est chain in the world-from Wash
ington, D. c., to Cavite, P. l., via the
Panama canal-has just been COM
pleted at San Diego, Cal.
The chain is the navy's and the
links are wireless stations that will
enable United States fleets all over
the world to keep in touch with
Washington without the aid of car
rier pigeons, mails or prestidigltatlon.
San Diego's link consists of three
towers, each 900 feet high. They
will connect with the two stations al
ready in working order at Arlington,
Va, near Washington, and in the
canal zone, halfway between the
canals Atlantic and Pacific termi-
nails, and with the proposed huge
station at Pearl Harbor, Honolulu.
The Honolulu station will connect the
Philippines with the United States.
The San Diego radio cost Uncle
Sam $250,O00.
When the wireless chain is COM
plete the United States will be far
ahead of all other nations IN this
respect.
The formal opening of the big
radio station at San Diego will take
place later, possibly not before De-
cember /, when the first messages
will be sent out to the world by the
proprietor, Uncle Sam. :,
A force of twenty operators VIII

MORE CASH NEEDED
ON MODERN FARM
This Is Finding Of Rural Credits
Committee In Report Urging
Enactment Of Law.

A comprehensive report on the rural
credits bin was made TO Congress to-
day from the Joint Committee on
Rural Credits. A bill, which was pre-
pared by a subcommittee headed by
Senator Hollis. also was introduced
by Senator Hollis in the Senate and
by Congressman Glass in the House.
The report IL exhaustive and in al
dition to going into details concern
ing the bill, emphasizes the need Of
rural credits legislation. It says:
Modern farming requires capital
in large amounts. The American
farmer has the best security in the
world-producing land. This bill en-
ables the farmer to obtain capital
for productive purposes at low rates
and long terms on the security OF his
farm"
Stress is laid on the fact that the
successful farmer becomes more of q
business man each year. that II he
wishes to keep his children on the
farm he must make his home attrac-
tive. that ALL of this costs money and
he must have cash.
Another feature of the report is that
1t sets forth the fact that in many
parts OF the country usurious rates
OF interest are charged the farmer,
regardless of laws and "a decent re-
gard for human necessities."
