TOO MANY GIRLS FOR
ONE MANS HAPPINESS

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov 3O.-Mario
Robinowitz and the two handsome
girls accompanying him were charmed
with Atlanta and enjoying their visit
in this city-until Mrs. Robinowitz
dropped like a bolt from out of the
blue and caught them in a boarding
house and called the police to arrest
them.
Instead of the usual elopement with
one affinity, Mario needed a couple to
keep him occupied, according to his
wife's interesting story as told in re-
corder's court yesterday when the
crestfallen husband and his comely
companions came up lor trial
The judge did not attempt to straigh-
ten out the tangleof domestic di--cul-
ties but fined Robinowitz and the girls
SIC each and shooed them out of court
when they paid their fines.

force, has been fined $25 and bound
over to the city court by the recorder
on a charge of assault and battery
and cursing Chief of Police B. S. Bry-
ant in the latter's office. 1t seems
that Brown went into the chiefs Off
ce and had an argument with him
which resulted in his hitting the chief.
A fight ensued which was ended by
the entrance of lieutenant. The
chit says the trouble was over a COW
eted promotion.

SUNDAY PREACHED TO
THE SOLDIER BOYS

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 29.-Billy Sunday
peached today to more than 10000
soldiers in uniform at Camp Gordon,
the great cantonment where Uncle
Sam is training 10000 men, and af-
ter hearing the famous evangelist the
boys in khaki turned to and ate a
boutiful turkey dinner provided for
them by the richest government in
the world.
Billy had been looking with keen
delight to his appearance before the
soldier boys, and they expected him
with equal anticipation, and did not
disappoint him either as to numbers
or enthusiasm. He preached them one
of the greatest sermons he has yet
delivered in Atlanta.
Tonight there will be a service in
the Tabernacle as usual, although no
service was held there this morning.

BILLY LETS FARMERS
SEVERELY ALONE NOW

Atlanta, Ga, Nov 29.-Billy Sunday
has let the farmers alone since Lem
B. Jackson furnished him the facts
concerning the relative advances in
cotton and wheat. Mr.. Sunday is the
famous evangelist now conducting a
revival here, while Mr. Jackson is the
director of the market bureau of the
Georgia state department OF agricul-
ture.
In a recent sermon Mr. Sunday has
scored the farmers for holding their
cotton to get an exorbitant price, and
charged them with standing in the
way Of victory in the war. The next
day Mr.. jackson replied with an open
letter published in the newspapers,
and apparently he silenced the evang-
elist's guns so far as this particular
battery was concerned.
Mr. Jackson showed that the aver
age price of cotton for the past ten
years has been II cents, and the aver
age price of wheat for the past ten
years has been 86.8 cents. He show
ed that 1920 wheat on this basis was
equivalent of 2S-cent cotton. He call

HEAVY DIVORCE RECORD
IN SAVANNAH COURT

SAVANNAH, Ga, Nov, 33O.-The
December term of the superior court
will witness the largest number of di-
yorce cases on record. One hundred
ard five cases are slated for attention.
That the number of actions for divorce
filed in the superior court is steadily
mounting upward, however does not
necessarily mean that Savannah is be-
coming a second Reno by any means,
but it does show according to well in
formed officials, that Savannah is
steadily growing in population

TO CULTIVATE RABBITS
AND CUT OUT BEEF

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 29-Cultivate
rabbits and delay the beef trust.
That is the latest slogan for food &C.
onomy and food conservation. In
Canada the government is raising ST.
berian hares on a large scale to sup
ply the people with meat. Expert
ments are being conducted alone the
same line by business organizations
in northern cities. Rabbits multiply
rapidly and the better breeds are as
nourishing and palatabla as chickens.
