DENMARK.

Is o number? The city of Ring
kobing has an ordinance which says
that the city council has right to de-
termine the number of restaurants TO
be permitted to keep open after the
regular time fixed for closing in the
evening. The city council did not per-
init any restaurant to extend the time
of business beyond the regular time.
The proprietor of Hotel Ringkobing
thought he ought to be permitted to
keep open after the others had closed,
and he appealed to the cabinet. asking
whether O is a number" in this con-
nection. The cabinet did not give a
fiat answer. but stated nevertheless
that the city council is not In duty
bound TO fix the number of restaur-
ants to be kept open after the regular
time for closing. Thus the hotel keep
er got only his pains for trouble, and
he is still wondering whether o is a
number.
The theater-goers in Rome COM
planned last winter that the theater
was not kept warm enough. The COM
plant was not wholly unfounded, for
the temperature actually proved to be
at the freezing point. The manager
explained that the price of coal was so
high that he could do no better. And
then he went on. 1.-THE condition be-
hind the scenes is simply idyllic. We
can see the stars twinkle, and the
moon shines down upon us. Through
the walls we can see the snow cover
ing the trees and bushes in the gar
den."
District Physician Rendtorff of
Hammel wore pair of stockings
which attracted general attention last
winter when he drove around calling
ON his many patients in the country.
The stockings were ninety years old,
and the yarn of which they had been
knitted was almost as thick as lead
pencil. The doctor claimed that they
were so warm that he would not ex-
change them for footbag.
A hotel keeper In Copenhagen asked
the food commission for permission to
sell waste bread as chicken feed. This
proved to the commission that bread
was going to waste and steps were i'm
mediately taken TO stop that leak.

teriously disappearing. Sweden has

DON'T DELAY PLANTING

Farmers in Weevil infested territory
should not delay planting any longer.
1t is best not to rcplow land that
has been broken earlier III the winter,
as that would not only double the cost
of preparation, but necessitatc plant
ing in loose seed bed.
Planting on wide fat beds finely
pulverized to depti, of not more than
one or one and half inches, will in
sure q good stand of strong healthy
plants, even under the most adverse
conditions. On SUCH beds planting
will not have to be over nalf AT inch
deep. Use plenty of seed as an ex-
ira prccaution against poor stand.
Put out fertilizers at time of plant
ing or several days in advance. Fer
tilizers should not be put in a deep
furrow but scattered on the beds

TO CANTALOUPE AND WATER
MELON GROWERS ALONG
THE LINE OF THE A. B.
AND A. RAILWAY:

1t is being published and circulated
that the growers of cantaloupes and
watermelons should be careful in re-
gard to over-production. The first
reason advanced is that on account of
shortage OF cars they will be unable
to move their crop.
AS to cantaloupes, these are all
moved in refrigerator cars, and |
have not heard OF any shortage of
these cars anywhere. They are not
tied up in the railroad yards in the
East like coal cars and Hat cars, and
there is not the slightest reason TO
.hink that there win be any difficulty
i'll supplying all the cars we need for
the movement OF the Georgia canta-
loupe crop. These refrigerator cars
are furnished by the Fruit Growers
Express, and you should not have any
fear of our having more refrigerator
cars than we can possibly use this
season.
AS to watermelons, the railroad au-
thorities tell us that they are maxim
plans even now to have enough ven
tilated cars on hand to take care of all
the business along the A. B. and A.
Just because there has been such d
shortage of coal cars and fiat cars ir
some sections this winter is no rea-
son whatever why we will not have
plenty of cars in the watermelon sea-
son. Indeed, do not think you have
! heard of any serious shortage of box
cars on the A. B. and A. Railway even
during the present fertilizer season
when cars are usually short.

Georgia To Be Digest
Section OF Country

| Atlanta, Ga, March 20-What is
considered the most drastic prohibi-
ton legislation ever introduced or
passed in any state was submitted by
Governor Harris on yesterday after
noon to caucus of senators and rep
resentatives and introduced stimuli
| taneously today in the house and sem
ate at the opening of the extra SEES
sion of the legislature called by the
governor.
That the bill will be passed with
practically no organized opposition is
| the general opinion among members
of the house and senate. although
there is some talks o: a possible at
tempt by the anti-prohibition minor.
ity to force compromise in the eff
fective date of the bill by putting it
off for several months. This, how
ever would mean that the extra SEES
sion was a waste of time and money,
and would be plainly in the interest OF
liquor dealers in adjoining states who
have large supplies on hand which
they are anxious to unload in Geor-
gia, and hence it is not considered
likely that such an attempt, even if
made, will succeed
The governors bill repeats the pres
emf shipping law, which permit the
| shipment to one individual in period
of thirty days of two quarts of whis-
ky, four of beer; and repeats the
clause of the present omnibus prohi-
bition law permitting an individual to
have on hand the quantity of whisky,
or wine, or beer which is permitted
to be shipped by the shipping law.
The bill then prohibits any person
from having on hand any quantity OF
whisky i'll any place for any purpose.
1t makes violation of the law a mis-
demeanor, punishable by fine of 81 900
or imprisonment for one year, either
or both, and makes each subsequent
violation felony punishable by ira-
prisornent from one to FIVE years
without the privilege of paying a fine.
It prohibits the shipment into the
state of any whisky or seine or beer
to AIRY individual in any quantity for
any PURPOSES.
1.-Two very slight exc"r;ions, : ac.:
two only, are made in the bill. The
first Of thcse permits the shipment Of
alcohol for medicinal, pharmaceutical
and manufacturing purposes under
| the strictest regulations, and the Sec
ond permits the shipment OF WING in
small quantities for sacramento pur-
b:ses also under strict regula';0 -.
If the bill is passed, and its passage
seems assured, any person who has
in his or her possession, at home or
anywhere else, any quantity of whis-
ky or wine or beer, will be guilty of a
misdemeanor; and if he or she is
found a second time IN possession of
liquor or wine or beer. the penalty
will be one to five years imprison-
ment.

COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY
NIGHT

With difficulty a quorum of the city
council managed to get together when
Mayor Paulk called the council to
order Monday night. Aldermen Pitt
man, Dorminey, Mccall, Brown and
Isler responded to roll call and adopt
ed the minutes of the previous meet
ing as read by Clerk David L. Paulk.
A number of merchants had gather
ed to lay their grievances before the
body on account of the excessive IL
cense taxes and Messrs. Abrams,
Maffett, ]. A. and Red Jones, and
others made it known that they were
not satisfied with the published or
dinance which made the burden of
taxation, according to their viewpoint,
lay unfairly upon the shoulders of the
smaller dealers. Mr.. Ed Hussey for
Hussey and Bowles Company, stated
that his licenses amounted to $160, an
amount which he stated his business
was not justified in paying in addi-
ton to the adj valorem taxes and other
demands.
After considerable discussion on the
part of council, in which Alderman
Pittman took a Strong part for the
dissenters, a caption for an ordinance
to amend the new license ordinance
was put on its first reading and the
license committee empowered to
make such recommendation for
changes at the next meeting of the
council, as they may deem advisable.
From the expressions of the council
men present it appears that the re-
lief asked for will be granted in most
of the instances if not in all of them.
the opinion expressed being favor
able to maintaining the licenses as
published in the code of the city
year ago. The matter will come up
for final disposition at the next regu-
lar meeting of the council April End,
when no doubt the merchants will
again be represented by good dele
