THREE SETS OF TWINS.
Heart Touched by Father
Tale of Woe.

New York, May 5.-If you were
the father of three sets of twins, and
kept them going, and your wife
wouldn't live with you and the twins
would you send your wife money,
courts or no courts?
Most probably not. SO decided
Jaco Colan. And the Court of Do
nestle Relations. despite affronted
dignity and contempt of its order,
agreed with his view.
II was all hashed out in court when
Mrs. Colan complained Colan hadn't
been paying her the SO week he had
been ordered to remit in n previous
proceeding. In the five years dur
ing which Mr.. and Mrs. Colan have
been married they have been blessed
by three sets of twins.
Perhaps the twins were to blame.
Anyway, Mr.. and Mrs. Colan had
many spats and finally decided to be
outs for good.
Some months ago the courts de-
cided that Mr.. Colan was to send
SO week TO his wife and some weeks
ago Mr.. Colan decided that he would
not. So all hands TO the center OF the
court.
why" asked the court. do you
fail to pay SO as directed?"
Because" said Mr.. Colan. when
| think of her troubles have to
laugh. She wanted me and she got
me; she wanted a home and she got
it; she wanted fights and she won
them all: she wanted to leave me and
she did; she wanted her liberty and
she got it; she wanted SO week and
got it; and she didn't want the three
sets of twins and I've got them.
Take 1t from me, your honor. a man
with three sets of twins and no home
regards SO as a bankroll."
And the court thought likewise.

SHARK HUNTING TO
GET NEW IMPETUS

New York, May 5.-Shark hunting
promises to be a general and profita-
BILE industry along the coast of the
Eastern States. since shoe manufac-
turers have discovered, by exhaus-
live experiments, that leather tanned
from the hides of "man-eaters" is
highly applicable for the purposes Of
ordinary footwear.
New York fishermen are preparing
10 carry on the hunt on a gigantic
scale if the "sea tigers" come North
this spring. While the industry in
its infancy does not promise to be
over highly remunerative, boat own
ers are confident with specialized
methods catches of sufficient size to
warrant exclusive attention to it will
he their reward. In addition to the
leather properties of the shark it pro-
duces an oil that is said to be the,
slowest drying lubricant known. Is
also used in the manufacture of GER
tain brands of waterproof paint.

SAVE CITY SCHOOLS FROM /
DOMINATION OF THREE R. MEN

The Dispatch has joined in an eff
fort to save the city schools of Cor
dele from the three RS as a school
policy for the future. 1t has contend
ed that as long as the schools paid
their way as they have in the past,
and up to this year, there has been
no need of cutting off $4,000 from
the superintendent salary. 1t has
entered a protest against casting off
the sight singing, documentary music,
the science department and other vi
tai portions of the advanced element
airy education.
With the purpose in mind of putting
the city schools in the hands of a
more representative school board and
electing them by the people, it has
joined in shaping and having intro
duced in the Legislature measure in
creasng the school board membership
to nine Gt ought to be twelve) and
electing all of them by the people. 1t
has joined in shaping this law so that
it does not interfere with the terms
of service of the present school board,
but simply adds four members,-and
these to be elected by the people of
Cordele. This paper has joined 9th
in, ont fhnu
were right in their claims and sincere
in their purposes. 1t has not stopped
friends or foes,-it could not do that,
serving an entire public as it does.
The paper has not been led blindly in
to something unfair or unreasonable.
1t is in a fight for cause tremendous
ly important and just.
During the past week we have been
confronted with some of the meanest
methods ever evolving from a politi-
cal circle in our knowled egto defeat
This plan to have the people decide
who shall serve on the schol board.
Our friends have been told that we
arc behind omvement to abolish the
present school board and to set up
self perpetuating machine,-that we
are simply being misled by those who
have designs themselves. But this
isnt true. Two men who live outside
this community are leading in the
fight 70 destroy the possibility of hav-
ing good schools.
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-08-05

This TAPER is seeking better schools
and only that. We are thinking of
little boys and girls who are not to
get what is justly theirs,--what their
fathers and mothers are to pay for
and not get. We are wondering who
will tell them what they can do as
neil and women in the world. We
have no talent not to tell them. None
of our teaching force for another year
has ever learned how to- make the
future boundles ocean of possibili-
ties for them. We need somebody to
tel. the tea ching force how to tell
them that. Our board members with
the three RS in mind have sought
ttr g R help and from every indica-
ton, intend to run a three r school
system. af
Our community is big enough to
deserve something better than that.
Our tax payers are paying enough to
boys and girls might be made to strike
at the larger usefulness in life il we
could have the teaching force of that
calibre.
Cordele deserves to have a school
board whose impulses are higher than
to resolve to destroy for pure political
revenge the good things that others
have tried to do ahead of them. II
the people resolved strongly enough
to do it, they might take their schools
out of the lower end of Eleventh ave-
nue. and put them in the hands of men
who by their own education are quail
fled to direct them for higher BUR-
pose than to crafty political impulses.
We have joined in an effort to put
the schools in the hands of the people.
We have desired to arrange for the
people to say who shall serve instead
of single political or church faction.
We are fighting for this because it
is right, and we must keep on fight
ing. Our very best ideas in this line
are formulated into law which has
been introduced in the Georgia legis-
lature. We want to urge the people
of Cordele not to let the lower end
OF Eleventh avenue defeat that law.
If it is passed it will mean better
schools in Cordele from the day it
becomes a law.

men CALLED FOR
A PHYSICAL TEST
EXEMPTION BOARD STARTS ON
WORK WEDNESDAY. ONLY
PHYSICAL TESTS FIRST.

The local board has ordered the
+ Crisp county young men to appear
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
this week for physical examination at
the court house. The board wishes
it distinctly understood that the
first thing will be physical examina-
ticn and no one need come prepared
for anything other than this examina-
ton. If those summoned to appear
find themselves passed as physically
fit for service, then there will be ten
days in which to make exemption
claims and stablish them if there are
such. The physical examination will
be the first thing.
There has been general complaint
that nctaries have refused in other
places to serve in making of papers
free. R. L. Dekle has announced his
intention to serve as a notary for the
registered young men free of charge
4 here. Others doubtless will follow
suit and no person will then have to
pay for the preparation of his papers.
The first work will have to do with
physical qualification exclusively and
those who are already called to appear
will only learn at first whether they
are physically qualified to serve.
It is not known just how many per-
sons will claim exemptions, but there
are indications that the chief claim
will be based on the fact that there
are dependents.

BROWN FIGHTS FOR MARKET:
URGES PLANTING MORE WHEAT

there is not a day or even an hour
to lose.
While Georgia has fairly we'll solved
her fall food problem through the
splendid eorffts of her farmers, there
is still the late fall and winter to be
provided for
Every Georgia farmer in every sec.
ton of the state, should plant some
wheat and oats this fall, and where
possible, also some barley, rye and
oats.
There are approximately 100000
plows in Georgia. We ought to plant
at least an average of two acres of
wheat to each pillow. Even with the
Two average of ten bushels to the
acre, this would give us the grand to-
tai of 100000 acres with a splendid
aggregate of ten million bushels of
wheat, or enough to feed the entire
state.
The Georgia Department of Agri-
culture urges every farmer to get busy
now planning to put in his winter
wheat and oats. Pick out the best
ground for them and prepare it well.
Don't stop with two acres, but plant
all you can properly take care Of.
Available wheat should be saved
for sed. Instead of grinding it, buy
flour and plant the seed. The mar
ket bureau Of this department will
be glad to assist any farmer in dis
posing of any surplus seed wheat he
may have, or in procuring seed for
him for planting in October.
But by all means plant wheat Put
it on your best acres and fertiliZe
we'll. 1t will return you an abundance
in the spring that will profit you well
for the attention and labor given it.
