Judge Transfers
To SAGE Ideals
Of Married Life

CHICAGO, March Elm order to
save what he termed the remnants of
his shattered ideals of matrimony.
Judge Jacob II. Hopkins, a bachelor.
was transferred to another department
today from the bench of the Chicago
court of domestic relations, being sue
ceeded by Judge John r. Newcomer, a
married man.
For the last six months Judge Hop
kins has listened from the bench to the
marital woes of the city, but recently he
told friends he could stand it no longer.
Chief Justice Harry Olson complied
with Judge Hopkins request and an
nounced the new assignment.
"Once 1 viewed marriages through
rosy mists of sentiment and poetry
Judge Hopkins said 81 believed there
was still love i'm the world-love that
endured from the altar to the grave.
In the court of domestic relations my
ideals died one by one Day after day
1 listened to nothing but the sorrows
and tragedies of married couples.
began to wonder whether any such
thing as marital happiness existed on
earth. So 1 asked to be transferred 1t
was a last measure to self-defense-a
measure TO save at least some of my
ideals"

Hereford Bull Is
Mascot of Proud
V3dGL5G Bank

THE Bank with the Bull Attachment,
as il pridefully calls itself, has written
W. J. Speer. state treasurer, a letter
calling his attention to the fact that
live stock as an asset is not to be de-
spised by any financial institution.
Che letter is the Outgrowth of re-
cent speech delivered at Canton, Ga. by
State Senator w. J. Fakes, of COnyers,
Ca, a candidate opposing Mr.. Speer for
state treasurer Mr.. Fakes remarks in
GUIDED certain facetiOus references to
Cow banks" called forth, it seems, be-
cause one of the sta.e banks included a
cow in its list of assets submitted to
the state treasurer. Senator Fakes ap-
peared to think that close scrutiny by
the treasurer SHOULD not permit cows as
bank assets.
But now comes j. Z. Schumpert, CASH
Ter of the Citizens Bank of Vidalia,
who writes to Secretary Speer in part
as follows: I'VE are not the cow bank
but we are the Bank with the
Bull Attachment, in which we take
pride. Forward March,
our. Hereford bull, bears a registration
number and is a thoroughbred. He was
not taken to close a bad debt. But 0ur
board directors deliberately paid his
Price and he is carried as a valuable as
set of our bank. We believe that better
stock will mean better times for this
section and better times will, of course,
increase our business and our profits.
Forward March is our mascot"
